The Assassin’s Mate
Confusion

I ran from the bathroom at top speed trying to get outside before my wolf took over and demolished the entire house. I shifted on the balcony and leaped to the ground taking off into the trees. The sun hadn't risen yet but judging by the cooler temperature it assured me it wasn't far from peaking over the horizon. We ran through the leaves letting the wind ruffle our fur. We reached a creek and slowed down to drink from the trickling rocks that created a small waterfall over the stream.

We heard something rustling in the distance and crouched down low waiting for the chance to pounce. A small bunny poked his head from its burrow and sniffed around before locking eyes with my wolf. She stared at it conflicted from the feelings rushing through her brain. The bunny took off but she didn't move instead standing up pacing in circles as she tried to figure out what just happened. She didn't go after it, why?

I tried to talk to her but there was no response. Instead she whined and growled at the missed opportunity and turned from the creek taking off back to the condo fuming from the fact that she let an easy kill slip through her paws. We reached the condo and she shifted letting my human side break free while she shuffled into the corner to sulk. I climbed up the trelice and onto my balcony heading straight to the shower.

Once I was done I went down to the kitchen to replace Finn lounging on the couch watching TV in nothing but his basketball shorts. I walked past ignoring him as I stopped in front of the fridge when he walked up behind me.

"Mila? Hey uh I just wanted to say I'm sorry about the other night. You know in the limo." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck and looked down at the floor.

"It's ok Finn. We both got a little carried away." I said as I side stepped him and sat at the island with a plate of food.

"Yeah. I just wanted to make sure you understood that. I mean as your bodyguard it would be completely inappropriate for me to do anything like that with you so I promise it won't happen again."

I felt a pang of hurt in my chest from his words. I don't know why they affected me so much but it did. I guess when you've never been around a lot of guys, especially who gave you attention, it makes you start to feel special but now he regretted what happened and promised to never touch me again and that was the worst part. Not like we want him touching us anyway, he'll make us go soft, Li. Don't let down your guard!

My self conscious was right, we don't need anyone. Not some bodyguard who thinks I'm pathetic and definitely not a man who finger fucks women at charity events then walks away like nothing ever happened. I needed to clear my head of them both and the only way I knew possible was to kill.

I hadn't talked to Damon or Romero in weeks so I decided to call them.

"Well if it isn't my long lost assassin! How's it going, Li?"

"It's boring here, Damon. I need something to kill and I don't know if I can wait until the announcement." I said with a huff.

"Li I know you're going stir crazy and I shouldn't be telling you this, but..." he said in a hushed voice then I heard a door close before he spoke again. "Romero got a tip about a Rogue problem around the premiss. Supposedly they are after one of the prospective wolves but no one knows who or why. I'll send you the info on them but I'll warn you, he's very cunning and he has disguised himself."

I was as giddy as a school girl because I needed blood and the only way to satisfy my edge was a ruthless murder of a scummy Rogue. I only hoped this would calm my nerves and reset my brainwaves. I needed to forget those two distractions causing me to become a mess of hornyness and confusion.

I talked with Damon a while longer and after I hung up I heard my phone ping with the information I needed about the target. He was from a revolutionary pack who were trying to overthrow the government but he was using his cause to kill

innocent people and the more I read up about him to angrier I got. I needed to end this vile creature and tonight was the perfect time. He was going to be attending a party that I was coincidently invited to so I would be able to keep an eye on him the whole night.

Again, Julius had the entourage parading through my room, brushing and curling my hair, painting my nails, and smearing an array of colors all over my face. Tonight's theme was cocktail attire and my dress was a bit risqué but I knew I could use it to my advantage.

After I was dressed I walked out the front door towards the limo, without Finn, and smiled at the driver as he looked me up and down. I heard a low growl from behind me causing the man in the suit to quickly avert his eyes and close the door after Finn sat down. I leaned my arm on the door and stared out the window trying to get my mind on the kill but the desirable smell coming from the man in the grey suit next to me had my legs tingling.

We hadn't spoken to each other all day and the tension was palpable. I could feel his tenseness and I'm certain he could feel my mood just as much as I was showing it. I was ready to tear someone's head off and the faster we got through this night, the better. My appetite for blood was quenchless and if this didn't go as planned I would be forced to take drastic measures, ones that I knew wouldn't be acceptable.

We pulled up outside the building and the music thumping inside sounded more like a night club rather than a charity event. The noise was humming through my ears and vibrating down my spine causing shivers up and down my body. Goosebumps formed on every inch of my skin that was exposed and even the tiny areas that weren't. But the most intense feeling came from behind me.

I nonchalantly glanced over my shoulder where a pair of brown eyes raked up and down my legs. I watched as he licked his lips and locked eyes with mine. They were full of lust and hunger. A hunger that could only be satisfied with a hot, sweaty tussle under the sheets where two bodies were tangled together so intricately that no one could tell where one began and the other ended.

My body began to quiver at the thought of him on top of me. His strong hands roaming my body and pleasing me in ways I could never dream of. His tongue licking me up and down. His cock inside of me spilling his hot seed into me as we screamed each other's names.

I watched as a wide grin spread across his face, as if he heard everything I just said in my mind, and marched inside hoping this was the only time I saw him tonight.
