“There is a case I want you to investigate,” Mistress Hera said which confused me. Did I even hear her right?“Investigate, Mistress? I don’t think that is what our guild does.” We are not law enforcers for pete’s sake. We are assassins who kill for a living.“This is a special mission. I also think this is somewhat related to the Black Phantom Guild that’s why I need you to investigate it.”Black Phantom Guild is our guild’s mortal enemy ever since. If what we do is only hunt the enemies of our patrons, they also offer more services such us smuggling and other illegal actions apart from killing. I’m not saying that we are more clean than them because we only kill, but it’s just, what they do is so much beyond the line. I don’t care about what they do alright. I don’t care if they kill, smuggle or do whatsoever things, but there were times before that they provoked us in certain instances. That’s why apart frRelated chapters

“Elena,” Rage uttered, his lips were parted and I figured he had so much to say. I could see it through his eyes. Though the next moment he became serious, anger filled his eyes and I didn’t understand. Is it because I left him? Is it because I refused to accept the feelings I have for him? But the way he looked at me made me feel that he’s coming from somewhere deep, which I don’t understand.“Oh, the alpha of Raven, right?” Henry spoke casually. Rage looked at him for a moment but his eyes quickly drifted back to me. He didn’t answer, probably because he must have known that Henry was already sure of what’s the answer but he only wants confirmation.I stopped stepping on the man who ruined my mood and went to pick up my sword.“Let’s go,” I said to Henry before jumping off the window.I thought it was Henry who followed me down the alley but I soon realize I was wrong. It was Rage.

Rage was arrested because he killed the king. He killed him when he knew that the king was the one who gave an order to the house of spades to kill his parents. After three days, he was executed in public. Elena didn’t do anything because until the last moment, she believed that there was no use in having him in her life, and that it would be better if Rage will vanish. But as soon as she saw him right before her, the regret and sorrow filled her once hollow chest.She just watched him die.She just let him die. The man she loves.“If we will be born again, I will fall in love with him again. This time, I will make sure that I won’t do anything that I will regret,” she vowed before she let the enemies kill her.True enough, after about a century, both Rage and Elena were reborn as normal humans in a different world, in a world less cruel than what they lived in before. Although they are living the lives far different from what they

Five years ago…"Why the noise in the living room? What's up?" I asked a maid walking in the hallway. I no longer bothered to blow dry my hair after bathing so it was still a bit wet."Sir Revo's friends came. Your two cousins are also there. They are at the dinner table, ma’am.”I sighed and nodded. She proceeded with her work while I stepped down on the staircase.No wonder the house is noisy again. After all, the mansion would not be noisy without the older brother's group. I was eight years old when I first met his friends, aside from our cousins, Sage and Markus. So I got used to it for five years.I went straight to the dining area where they were all. They are laughing and talking loudly. I snorted. Noisy boys."Morning, Elena!" I glanced at Markus. He also immediately looked back at the talking friends."Yeah bro, Christine is a catch!""Her boobs are small.""Come on Sage, it will develop so

A series of knocks grabbed my attention. I was too lazy to get up from lying down when I heard the voice of a housemate."Miss Elena, Sir Rage is asking you to go down. Dinner is ready," she said.I winced, not wanting to leave the room after what happened earlier. I'm still disgusted. Irritated with Rage. If he hadn’t been carrying some woman that wouldn’t have happened. But who am I to decide, anyway? I just make a living. But even that. He should have picked girls who have better etiquettes."Tell him I will eat later."They don't have Aunt Laura so it's okay not to go along. She's busy with her husband on some business stuffs.The maid didn't insist and just go back downstairs. I have no appetite. My scalp still hurts to this day. Damn that girl. I really hope he doesn’t go here anymore. Because if he comes back, I won't be bathing him with a sprinkler but a hose. Annoying.I jumped out of my bed. I went to the front of

"What?" I asked Neri when she pulled me. Markus moved slightly away from us. He’s now talking with other women. "Hm, a handsome guy is watching you," she said and grinned. She nodded towards one direction. I saw a man on the pool. Just like what she said, a handsome one. I smirked. Well... not bad for a sight. "Isn't he handsome?" She first handed the cocktail glass to me and removed her sandals and sat on the edge of the pool. Let the water wet the feet. I did the same and stood beside him. "Yup. Your type?" She took a sip on her cocktail. She grinned and shook his head. "I just find him hot. Other than that, I don't have any plan on going out with him. I mean..." She snorted. "You know, there seems to be something missing." I laughed. "You, what's your type? Um, the sporty? Like basketball players? Academic achievers? Nerdy type? Business-minded like sons of tycoons? You can also be in line with the career you want to match.

"On Sunday, my brother and his friends will go to El Fuego. They will look at our farm there and take a walk as well. I said we will come. Invite Jesyl," I told Neri when I learned of their brother's walk over the weekend.Usually, I don't go with them. But since I have to walk Jesyl to Rage, this is a big opportunity for them to know each other."Alright, Elena. I'll tell her. Thank you really," he said. Big smile.I blinked."Treat me to lunch the whole semester.""I thought you weren't begging?""Because I can't think of anything else so that's all you have to do. I can still save an allowance. I am just being frugal.”"Frugal?" she asked like she doesn't know that word. "You still know that word? You're even richer than us. If you can speak it, you'll think you're suffering."I didn't speak and just thought about what to do to to reconcile Rage and Jesyl. But I think it wouldn't be hard considering that she has the lo

We went to the border of El Fuego where a tall lighthouse stood. We stood near the long cliff, watching the wild waves rule the sea below. Aside from the plantation and neighboring lands, this part was my favorite place to visit back thenThe salty air is so damn refreshing, even the place is just naturally beautiful and tranquil. A place where you can feel comfort and peace. Indeed, nature will always be the most beautiful creation."Oh, beers." Carson distributed the canned beers. He was the one who brought the drinks. Sage is in charge of the food."It's yours," he said and handed me a carbonated drink.We sat on the grass. I was next to Neri while Rage was on the other side of me. I don't know why he sat next to me. I don't want to be rude so I just remained on my position. Jesyl, on the other hand, is sitting beside him. Trying so hard to be noticed. But if before it was still answering, now it is not really."Elena," Neri whispered. "Rage see

"What, Elena?!" Neri was hysterical when I told her that I agreed to Rage’s offer. At the strength of his shout a few people looked at our behavior inside the restaurant we were eating at"Lower your voice.""You don't have to do that!" She slapped his forehead."We both know what kind of men your brother's friends are! And yet, you sacrificed yourself? You, bitch! Are you out of your mind?""I did it for you. So, just shut up and enjoy the benefits. So you must win the competition. Make sure of it. That's the least you can do.""No. Back off on that deal, Elena. I just want you to ask her but I won't allow it that way. That's too much!"I sighed."It's really fine, Neri. Do you think I'll be shaken by that playboy Rage? I've known him over a decade. He won't affect me, I tell you. This is a big opportunity for you. So improve now only in the club for you to be chosen. "She sighed heavily and tapped the glass of juice wi

The Assassin and The Alpha Epilogue
Rage's POV"Oh, Elena is here." Jonas pointed to the girl wearing a pale pink dress. She was staring at the piano with her curious innocent eyes.His candle-like fingers traced the space in front of the piano. The amazement was etched on her pale face. Looking down, his long lashes were sharpened. Those have little curls at the end, making her eyes look so soft.Her hair is longer compared to previous visits. Although I heard she's only nine, the way she looks and moves told me she's older than that. Her demeanor was refined even as a child. And she has that paper white skin that I always notice every time it turns to pinkish white, when it's sunny or when from tiredness every time she helps her Mama."She's so pretty, isn't she? I'll make her my girlfriend once she's thirteen or fourteen," Carson said to me immediately."Why don't you prioritize your project? You're not here to fancy a little girl, Carson.""Ow. You sound like you're too ol

"Congrats! Another successful performance!" Luke hugged me at the same time, while Rita was still in tears by our side."You're really good, Miss Elena!”Many more greetings happened backstage. Rose and Brenda, who had a banner before, didn't give up. It wasn't the first concert I had, but it felt like the happiest. Not because there were more spectators, but because they were waiting for me below the stage.When I entered the dressing room, I did not hesitate to find him. He was leaning on the small table, staring at the gifts I received from the fans.I slowed down and stared at him intently. He's now staring darkly at the boxes of chocolates. His brows furrowed, seemed so annoyed at the innocent chocolates."You like
The Assassin and The Alpha 72: Wedding Bells
After the show, we returned to the city and Rage took me home. He said he would pick me up at six o'clock tomorrow. Although he assured me that his family will surely like me, that didn't ease my nervousness.I know I have achieved so much. But I still can’t get over the thought that many women are more deserving of him. He's holding two of the companies under their empire, if he chooses a woman in line with his track, he has a partner in management. To think it was easier for him then. It's an advantage he didn't take."Elena, answer me, will you? I've asked a question here before but you don't answer me!" Luke sighed as he followed my movements.I was busy finding an appropriate dress while he was prying around. Of course now that we're on our own he hasn't missed it yet. I'm sure he was very eager to ask me earlier. Only now was given the chance so I wasn’t let go."Are you really? Something happened to you? How was he in your suite earlier
The Assassin and The Alpha 71: That Familiar Feeling
In drowsiness, my eyes warmed as I leaned against his chest. He caresses my hair as silence prevails over us. All happened too fast, I can't help but close my eyes and remember all of it bit by bit. If I wasn't drowning to him before, now I can say I'm drowned, and I might not be able to get up again."I won't go to work tomorrow," he said.I looked up at him, eyes wide. He lifted my head a bit, he adjusted the overlap of my head on his arm. He then snaked his arm on my waist, resting his hand on my hip."It's okay. It's also my last mall show here in Laguna. I'll be back in Manila right after. Just go home tomorrow."His eyes darkened, the reluctance was surely screaming in his head."I don't have important meetings tomorrow. Why can't I skip even just a day? Besides, I can make time for you always. I want to be with you. One more thing, I hope I have a plan for us tomorrow night. Will that be okay? "I looked up at him even more. He crouch
The Assassin and The Alpha 70: Promise Me
I was busy for the next few weeks. Rage visits me regularly. We can't go out much because my schedule is hectic. On top of that, I also avoid the people so I can’t go to crowded places. I didn't hear any complaints from him, though. I also lost my fear of Lyka because they were already locked up and Rage made sure that they could not get out again.I was shocked when Lyka's mother asked for an appointment with me. He talked to Rita and since it seemed like he had no bad intentions, I agreed. It was true, she didn't mean any harm. In fact, he met with me to apologize for what Lyka had done. She said, it was her fault she didn't guide her enough to be a good person. I said it wasn't his fault. It was Lyka's choice to take the wrong path.We always have a choice to be good or bad. That is not the fault of the people around us. It is our own will to choose what we want. And sometimes, we tend to do things we know could hurt other people."Ma'am, there are flow
The Assassin and The Alpha 69: Nothing is Less
When we got out of the car I adjusted the bag on my shoulder before facing Rage. "Don't go up. I can go alone from here," I told him and pointed to the elevator.I noticed that the security of the whole building was tightened even more, and even here in the car park the guard increased."I'll walk you to your door," he insisted.I bit my lower lip subtly and just nodded to avoid an argument. If I contradict him, the conversation will be long. And I am still embarrassed of how I confessed earlier at his penthouse. I can't believe I had the guts to say that to him. And when I remember his reaction it was like someone was drumming in my chest. I've never seen him that surprised... and genuinely happy."Is Luke already inside?" he asked as we confessed to my unit.I nodded. “Maybe already asleep...""Okay. Get inside," he demanded softly.I nodded. "Are you going back to the penthouse?""No. I'll sleep at home first because D
The Assassin and The Alpha 68: Finally Home
Elena’s POVWe used the chopper to go back to the city. At the helipad of the MG building the chopper landed, and I didn’t expect who were waiting for me there. Luke, Rita and Rose were there. As well as Georgia and Zoren. But what surprised me was to see who was on the side of the five of them."Livius..." I whispered under my breath."Put this on," Rage said and handed me his black coat.I nodded and put it above my sleeveless dress. She helped me fix my wind-blown hair before we approached the waiters."Elena!" Luke's voice can surely break walls. He couldn't wait any longer. He met me halfway and hugged me tightly."I'm glad we met again! It's finally all over! I missed you so much, K! You worried me so much too!""You made us all worry, Elena. I just found out everything that happened yesterday. Why didn't you tell us? Mommy and I could have helped you," Georgia said.I let go of Luke's hug and faced them. My e
The Assassin and The Alpha 67: Bound to Embrace
Rage’s POVI can feel my hands slightly trembling. Fuck. Why does she have to hurt me over and over again? She's the only one who can hurt me like this. Only her. But why does she keep on hurting me?Confused and pained, I followed her steps. I gently touched her arm once calling her name. She faced me with anger in her eyes. She violently removed the arm from my grasp."What? Didn't you hear me? I said, go out! Get out!""Why are you doing this to me?" I asked weakly.She told me she'll visit me on my office. But he did not come. Worst, she was nowhere to be found. I'm very worried. I even ditched my meeting with a foreign supplier and canceled the rest of my appointments because I was busy searching for her for the last six fucking hours!Then can I reach him like that? Kissing the bastard that was beaten up? She didn’t know how dark my vision was when I saw them in that position! For the first time in my life, I felt like I ca
The Assassin and The Alpha 66: Misunderstanding
I gasped a few times as I stared at the sea. I don’t know what came to mind and I went here in El Fuego. But I don't have anywhere else to go. Well, not literally. I mean I couldn't think of another place to go. Maybe because my mind is clouded with the things that’s going on so I can’t think clearly.I'm angry, that's the truth. I am angry at what is happening in my life. Yesterday, everything was okay, I was happy. But suddenly all of these shits happened. Seriously? Don’t want to stay happy with me? I'm not doing anything wrong, ah? Why doesn't destiny want me to be happy? Am I a cruel person? I know I'm not that good. But I also know that I'm not that involved. So why is this? Why do I have to shed tears over and over again?"Crying won't make you look pretty."I looked at the person speaking next to me who I didn’t even realize was approaching me. Recognizing who it was my jaw dropped in shock. It's been years since I last saw
