Episode 3-Assassin

All this time I thought I have been suffering this alone, but no…Chris also reacts to my pheromones and How do I know that, because the moment he started complaining of feeling hot, leaking sweet scent of peaches I felt Chris' sturdy body react, I felt his member hardened, a sudden lust clouded my senses and I felt a strange urge to devour him right there, an urge to touch him but why…why has he never touched me, and when I mentioned us being mates, he didn’t seem all that surprised, or maybe he was too concentrated on the new sensation he was feeling and didn’t react to the news, or maybe he knew and that’s why he had kept me at an arms-length I honestly wouldn’t know but the thought irked me, the thought that he knew and kept a safe distance, why? For what? Because he still blamed our pack for the death of his mother, is it worth sacrificing our mate bond for? What on earth have I done to the moon goddess to deserve him as a mate? I lamented inwardly.

Fuck! I cussed under my breath as his member throbbed painfully between my legs, my urge to mate getting stronger and stronger, it wasn’t as painful as being in my omega body but still unsettling nonetheless. I wanna touch it, I wanna touch it so bad but the body isn’t mine, it’s wrong to act on my impulse like that. Let’s…let’s endure it, I thought trying to fall asleep but the scents were getting thicker instead, so…Chris always perceives my pheromones as well, was Lydia a way to satisfy his urges then, I was confused…why on earth does he have to go that far, I understand that we had a loveless marriage but we could have reached an agreement, we could both still made it work…it really doesn’t have to be like this. What was Chris thinking? Despite reacting strongly to me like this? And despite the rarity of mates, he had his delivered to him on a silver platter but yet he strongly opposed me? What on earth have I ever done to him? To deserve such hatred from him.

My heart was pounding in my chest like crazy, the scent was getting thicker and so…I stood from my bed unable to endure the rock-hard member, there has to be a way to fucking get it down and why the hell is this so uncomfortable to walk with, thankfully the maids had taken care of the house and left before this whole bullshit ensued.

Before I knew it, I was already walking towards my room, well…I’m sure Chris has a remedy for this thing, although it’s embarrassing to ask such a thing from him. I halted halfway to my room, a long narrow hallway separated my room from Chris’s, and halfway down that hallway, I heard Chris' voice, which was my voice by the way. “Let go of me” That must be Eric, without thinking I bolted the rest of the distance, slam the door open, and caught Eric pinning Chris to the headboard.

“Chris” Eric seems rather flustered by my presence, he should be since I’m gonna kick his fucking ass for exploiting my body. “Chris I can explain” His voice quivered after seeing my furious expression, oh hell you can, I thought as I throw him a nasty glare. My body moved swiftly towards him after he let Chris go, I grabbed him by the collar of the t-shirt he had on, and give him some steady punches until his mouth was bleeding. I’ve always wanted to do that, I thought as I watched him cough out blood as I continue to rain punches on his devilishly handsome face. I was hoping Chris would stop me but he didn’t, in fact, he seem to enjoy what I was doing to his beta, then I finally let him go after I left his face unrecognisable, though it’ll heal but the effect will last for a while.

“Get out! Now!” I half yelled at him while he forced himself to his feet and hastily walked out of my room with his bleeding mouth. “Are you okay?” I close the distance between Chris and me, ignoring the ache in my knuckles which were now slowly healing.

“Does…does he do this often?” Chris muttered, lowering his head in guilt as he questioned.

“A few times-

“A few times? Why didn’t you tell me?” He shot his head up and I scoffed at his response. Clenching my teeth to stop myself from snapping at him, how dare he get mad.

“I remember telling you though” He flinched, I’m guessing he recalled.

“I…I’m sorry-

“Are you?” I queried staring at him with a heartbroken expression on my face because I know…how broken he left me.

“I…I didn’t expect Eric to do such a thing-

“Well, it doesn’t matter, does it?-

“What do you mean it doesn’t matter he…he took advantage of you-

“And what exactly can you do about it, Chris? What are you gonna do about it? How are you any different from him anyway, no matter how many times I told you, no matter how many times I tried to explain my situation, you never cared, and it doesn’t matter, I learn to endure it, the humiliation you made me go through, while you blamed it all on me when you know I had no choice, how does it feel now Chris…how does it feel to be powerless” His face twisted in pain, while he lowered his head unable to meet my eyes. “Just...sleep, let’s just sleep and get this over with already” I hate the uncomfortable feeling in my chest, even though he had a remorseful expression on his face, it didn’t excuse all the pain and suffering he put me through. “I should go” I turned to leave but he held back my hand. Damn it! I hate the mate bond, while the sudden rush of adrenaline again, this darn feeling.

“Stay,” He said in a low tone that could pass for a whisper. I smirked, annoyed at his sudden change of attitude.

“I don’t need your pity Chris, I’ll do well on my own, just like it’s always been. I was stupid to think I could find just an inch of happiness with you, it’s my fault for not turning down this fucking marriage to begin with” I pushed his hand off mine. Leaving for his room.

I didn’t realise how fast I was walking until I reached Chris' room. I slipped down to my feet as I tried to hold back my brimming tears, I’ll be fine, I tried to reassure myself, the conversation I had with Chris today had been the longest we’ve had, it’ll probably be the only one we’ll ever have. After we get back to our respective bodies, his interest in me will cease as usual and I’ll return to be the boring, plain, abandoned Luna. I sniffled and raise to my feet, moving sluggishly towards the bed where I sat with my head lowered into my palm as my emotions slowly overwhelmed me. I don’t remember when I slept but when I woke up, I was still Chris.

“Oh crap!” I mumbled, “Chris is definitely gonna be mad” I added rising from his bed, I guess I’ve really become Chris, is there really no way we can go to being ourselves, I thought heading out, the moment I stepped out of the door, I heard a loud crash coming from my room. Instinctively I dashed towards it, is Chris crashing my stuff in my room in anger because he couldn’t go back to his body? I speculated while my heart thumped painfully in my chest. No matter how pissed off he is, he shouldn’t be crashing my things, I thought irked by the thought of losing anything in my already shabby room but contrary to my thinking, Chris wasn’t crashing things, rather…he was being pinned down by an assassin that had a sword hovering over his throat, as in my throat, what the fuck?

My body moved instinctively towards the wolf that had Chris pinned, and though he was smart to retract quickly away from him but my body was faster than his, I still have no idea how I was able to close the distance between us so quickly, but I did, grab the dude by the collar and slammed him hard against the wall.

“Wow, I didn’t know I can do that-

“Now’s not the time to be dazed damnit, apprehend him already” Chris yelled while I wonder how to do that, the assassin pushed me back with both his feet to my chest to put a distance between us so I could drop him, and the moment I did that he jumped out of the window. “What the fuck just happened?” I wondered for a minute.

“Did this also happen often, have you been keeping it from me that you get attacked by an assassin, Lena?” He sounded mad.

“Definitely not, I haven’t…that is a first” He blinked in surprise then sighed heavily. First, we are stuck in different bodies and now someone wants to kill you, Lena, Selena is there something you’re not telling me-

“Are you gonna accuse me of trying to get myself killed too?” I narrowed my eyes at him.

“Of course not, I just want to know why you’ll suddenly become a target of assassination, Jesus Lena, is that so little you think of me-

“And how exactly do you expect me to think of you Chris?” I gave him a blank look after retorting to him in annoyance.

“Lena, can we at least put aside our differences and solve this shit, they tried once and failed, what made you think they wouldn’t again so, please-

“I don’t know, this is the first time anyone has ever tried to assassinate me, I’ve always lived a quiet life so not too many people know of my existence except your pack so tell me, Chris, how can I believe this isn’t done by one of your pack members, for all I know they might be trying to assassinate their useless Luna” He flinched to my tone, realisation striking him hard. “But unfortunately for them, they’ll end up murdering their Alpha” He gulped to my words, yeah…I know that stings.
