I knew it had been stupid to leave my scent uncovered as I ran back across the border. It couldn’t be helped though. I had abandoned my kit in the motel and ran, my only objective was to get home and find answers. I needed to stop the hit on the Alpha until I could break our bond. I wasn’t crazy about the idea of dying because someone else took him out while we were still tied together. I stopped at the first guild safe house inside the border and snagged the keys to an unmarked car. I wasn’t sure where I needed to start looking for answers, but I hoped my father could help as I sped down the highway towards my childhood home.
“Daddy!” I squealed, throwing my arms around him as soon as he opened the door.

LucasI physically recoiled as my mate forced our link closed. Hades whimpered at the rejection. We had felt her wolf’s joy at hearing my voice, but we had also felt the anger coming from her human side. This was going to be trickier than I had anticipated. We knew very little about the assassin’s guild. They were rumored to reject their mates and live solitary lives, but a mate could only be rejected before the marking. It had given me hope that my mate would accept our bond and we could work out the nasty business of me having been a target. It didn’t make sense that the moon goddess would pair me with someone so unwilling to accept our bond.I had to fight the urge to check in with Zane to see how far he had gotten on my order to find me a way across the border undetected. I was going after my mate, whether she wanted me or not. I had fu

SeleneI was a little surprised as I made my way down the long gravel drive, arriving at a small cottage. I knew it made sense for the leader of the guild to maintain a non-descript home, being flashy would make him easier to find, but I wasn’t quite prepared for how small his home actually was. I parked in front of the tiny house and quickly made my way to the door. My senses had been in overdrive since the Alpha had contacted me through the bond at my parent’s home and I was ready to find answers so I could complete my assignment. “Selene.” Called a man from the doorway of the home. “I’ve been expecting you. Your father called. My name is Alistair.”

I adjusted my top to show a little cleavage and made quick work of stretching seductively before the two guards. I intended to play with them until the next shift change in the hopes they would take me from the room with them. I may have been an exhibitionist, but I drew the line at being indecent in front of children. Their presence didn’t stop me from acting flirtatiously with the men, allowing them to catch the scent of my arousal. I smiled coyly as their eyes darkened when my scent hit their noses. I could tell by the low growl emanating from one man’s chest that at least one of them would be taking me with them when they left the room. After what I estimated to be two hours, there was a knock on the door. It was time for the shift change.
The Assassin's Mate Chapter 12
LucasArmed with nothing but the description Zane had extracted from our warrior and the directions Maggie had given me, I made my way across the border. It took time to pick up my mate’s scent of apples and cinnamon because of the need to run along the border to find where she had crossed. The scent was faint, only detectable because of my heightened abilities as an Alpha. It felt like I had been meandering along for hours, moving slowly to avoid losing the scent, when I finally came to a small house. I shifted and dressed quickly in the clothing I had carried with me. The house smelled and sounded empty, but if my mate were truly an assassin, then I wouldn’t be surprised if she were skilled in stealth. Cautiously, I moved toward the house, peeking in the wind
The Assassin's Mate Chapter 13
SeleneOnce we had escaped Luna Diane’s castle like home, the rest of my mission had gone off without a hitch. I had delivered the child to the priestesses and gotten answers about breaking my mate bond. Unfortunately, the answers weren’t ones I had wanted. The priestesses had informed me the only way to break a mating bond once it was sealed, was for one of us to die. There was a bright side to the information though. The mate bond could be broken by even a momentary death, which meant that if I found a way to be revived I could solve both of my problems. I wouldn’t be impacted by the Alpha’s death if I were the one to die and be revived. I wanted to spend time w

SeleneMy mother was freezing me out while lavishing praise on Lucas as we sat around the dining table. My father looked at me with sympathy and shrugged as my mother prattled on about how wonderful it was to have an Alpha in the house. I wanted to vomit. I hated that my family was taking to the man I was meant to kill so well. I ate in silence as my family fawned over him. Lucas had pulled a typical Alpha stunt, buying a lavish meal for everyone and having it catered in my parent’s home. I picked at the food before me for awhile before I couldn’t take anymore of the way my family was reacting to my mate. There were other things I needed to tend to, plans to be made so I could continue on with my life. I excused myself and made my way down the hall to my childh
The Assassin's Mate Chapter 15
I wasn’t certain how long I would be stuck with the Alpha, but I knew it would take time for Rory to find the appropriate voltage and for us to scope out a location that wouldn’t draw attention. There was one thing still bothering me as I walked into my parent’s home and made my way to my childhood bedroom. I had been told that Lucas was intending to kidnap the King’s daughter when I had been assigned to kill him. Even with the mate bond, it didn’t make sense to me that he would have gone through all the trouble to find me if that were still his plan. I decided I needed to talk to him. All thoughts of a conversation fled from my mind when I entered my room to find Lucas sprawled out in my bed.

“Damon, Felix, it’s time for dinner!” I called from the dining room. I smiled to myself as the boys stomped into the kitchen like a herd of elephants. Damon was the spitting image of his father. You could hardly tell the difference between pictures of them at seventeen. Felix resembled his grandfather with his mousy brown hair, but he had my striking green eyes. I couldn’t believe he was turning sixteen soon and would be finally connecting with his wolf. “Your father has to work late.” I told them, sitting the steaming lasagna pan on the table. “I expect you both to have your homework and chores done before he gets home. Am I understood?”&n

I felt slightly guilty for leaving Lucas to deal with the execution of the spy Alpha Lauren had brought to us without me. He had agreed that it was too early for me to leave Damon with a sitter though, encouraging me to meet with Rory for lunch instead. Life had been hectic in the months since our wedding. We had only spent the weekend at the cabin, not wanting take too much time away from the pack after everything that had happened with King Jonas. By the time I went into labor, I had a strong group of elite warriors, and Victoria was more than ready to take charge for my maternity leave. With Fenrick by her side, there wouldn’t be any issues. I was glad to see that she was still making time for Rory with the added responsibility as I caught sight of them seated at the café waiting for me.&n

I smoothed my gown, letting my hands settle over my protruding bump as I admired my reflection in the mirror. My mother had done an amazing job pulling everything together for the ceremonies. We had opted to have the Luna ceremony as part of our wedding, inviting the entire pack. Lucas had even set up a streaming option for the pack members that wanted to witness the event and couldn’t attend in person. “You look radiant.” Rory grinned, pinning my veil in my hair. At my mother’s recommendation, I had found a stunning empire waist gown to accommodate my growing belly. The lace overlay added the extra layer of elegance with the added bonus of hiding my white flats. Heels were out of the question. The more my belly grew, the more off balance I became. The downside w

Selene “Thanks for fitting me in, Ror.” I smiled as I took a seat on the exam table. “I could use a little of whatever it was you gave me when we first got here. All this wedding, luna ceremony, and training is wearing me down.” “So, just some generalized fatigue then?” Rory asked. “I’m honestly just exhausted. A few days to sleep would probably have me ship shape, but there’s too much to do for me to do that.” I chuckled. “Have you and Lucas been indulging in a little bedroom rodeo since the haze?” “I mean, we finished the mating process so yeah.” I replied, not sure what my friend was trying to get at.&nb

Lucas Selene glowered at me from the passenger seat. The other four had opted to take the vehicle she had driven to Cerathe in, leaving me alone with my very pissed off mate. I refused to make eye contact with her as I drove. I wasn’t really sure what I could say to ease her anger. Rory had shocked us all, killing the king while the rest of us had been forced to submit. The soldiers had backed off the moment she commanded them too, none of them certain what they were supposed to do without the king to give them orders. Daniel took charge from there, instructing the soldiers to find the King’s mate. King Jonas hadn’t had a mark, leaving us to hope his mate could survive his death. We had been wrong. While his chosen mates were alive and well, his true mate had succumbed to death moments after the King. The

RorySelene was pacing, her face twisted in anger when we arrived where she waited for us. It had taken us about twenty minutes to catch up to her after she took off in her wolf form. I could tell by the way she twisted her hands together, something worse than just not catching up to her mate had happened. “Selene,” I whispered, handing her clothing to her. “What’s wrong.” “Lucas, they have him. He was being silvered when I got here.” She wailed. “I was too late. Rory, the King, is going to kill him. There’s no way he won’t. I should know; I was the first person assigned to take him out.” She paced as she spoke, her words laced with an ache I had never seen in her.&nb

Selene “Where the fuck is he, Zane?” I demanded, barging into the Beta’s office. Lucas hadn’t answered his office or cell phones, leading me to check for him at the pack house. Instead of finding my mate, I found Zane. The guilty look on his face made it clear that he knew something about my mate’s whereabouts. “He’s in Cerathe.” “And you didn’t try to stop him? Are you insane?” I screeched. “You just let your Alpha waltz into the arms of the enemy.” “I swear, I didn’t know until it was too late.” Zane retorted,
The Assassin's Mate Chapter 79
Lucas My mind worked over what Tyson has said on the training field as I watched my mate sleeping peacefully beside me. I wanted to believe he was lying, just trying to make me lose focus to gain the upper hand, but I couldn’t shake his words. Fenrick had lost all signs of Maggie in a small town called Millstone. He believed she had purchased a car that couldn’t be tracked before leaving the place. I wanted to believe him, but she was carrying my child and I couldn’t risk her being in the King’s clutches. Kissing Selene’s sleeping face, I slipped free of her arms and the bed. I had to know for sure whether Jonas had Maggie or not. The only way to find out was to confront him myself. I would link Zane once I was across the border and well on my way. I couldn’t risk him trying to

Selene Lucas’s hands roamed my body, his erection pressing into my backside as we moved to enter the house. “Bath first.” I ordered, freeing myself from his grasp. I laughed as he pouted in response to my words. Rolling my eyes, I dragged him by the hand to the bathroom. “You smell like sweat, blood, and Tyson.” I said, scrunching my nose. “I’d prefer not to smell another man while fucking my mate. Now strip.” “Yes ma’am.” He chuckled, removing his pants and shoes as I filled the tub. He had left his tattered shirt behind on the training field, returning home in only his pants and shoes. The few places Tyson had managed to slash him had alre
