Chapter 18: meeting Link

- Adrian Gold - P.O.V

sleeping on the floor wasn't something that i hadn't done before but still wasn't a pleasant experience so when they told me I was going to spend the rest of my punishment in my pack's prison I was happy. and my wolf was even happier when we overheard that our mate called for this to happen. I'm not an idiot i knlw she didn't do this out of her own good well but still I'm happy.

now that I'm in the cell. I relaxed myself on the bed

* flashback * 6 years ago
- Adrian Gold age 14 - P.O.V

they said I'm going to meet someone today. I wonder why? I hope he isn't bad. they all bad anyway. at least here I'm alive I should keep that in mind.

the door to my room opened and I was called to one of the offices.

I was at the lily building. here all the people who do office work live. also the people who are in training. I finished my training but having an underage assassin running around with no pack might end up a bad idea. and so I'm here until I'm 18 then I'll be given a list of packs that want lily to be in them. not necessarily the pack more like the location of the pack that they want us to be in.

I reach the office in my work outfit and mask. my mask covered from the tip of my nose to the end of my forehead with metal. it has a kind of material on the eyes that make me see but none could see my eyes.

in the office there was my supervisor and a teenage boy. I bow and close the door behind me. my 'supervisor' don't bother with introduction as he talks to the boy.

" as I was saying your next part of training is observation. you are going to observe him in his work. he will be transformed into the room next to yours and he will be reporting his actions and everything he is doing in the job to you to understand his progress" he said every word carefully to make me understand that his words are for me too. "anyway I have work to attend to now"

the boy was about to say something but he was cut off fast and simple by my supervisor leaving.

"you're like a 10 year old kid!" was the first thing he said to me. at least it wasn't ' I will never be paired with a mutt' that what the last one said before he ran to the lilies to change me for him.

"14" I corrected.

"your two years younger than me. do you even know how to do all of this?" he said waving his hands around. I really hope that turning into a teenager mean stupidity.

I ignore the question " you can call me whenever you want but I'm usually called Andy. not my real name" I look at him but not really look at him.

I learned long ago that looking at the eyes of people above me is rude. and not looking at someone when they are talking is rude and so I look at them and not look at them at the same time. It's a handy technique that I picked up.

"Link. that's my real name. wait do I also get a fake name?? and a mask??" how would I know??

"are you an assassin?" I simply ask.

"no I'm lily worrier. why?" you get a mask so people don't know who you are. a worrier pride in the amount of kills he made. why would he need to hide who he is? oh I so hope I don't grow up to be an idiot.

"no mask. no fake name." just dismiss me so I can move into the room next to you.

the boy stood with a thinking face for a while "alright I think I can live with my real name" he said with a smile "sooo, what do we do know"

"I move into the room next to yours"

"oh" he looked disappointed " I thought were doing something interesting since you are still here" doesn't he know the rules?

"you didn't dismiss me"

"aren't you my superior? why do I dismiss you?"

I rise an eyebrow. he didn't see it of course. " I'm no one's superior "

it was his time to raise an eyebrow "isn't because the whole slave mark thing? you can't even be enslaved doesn't that mean you are superior in a way?"

I don't believe that but I don't argue. I stay silent.

when he finally got that he won't get an answer from me he said "you don't need my permission to leave you know you can just leave"

do I take that as dismiss? no I think I'll wait for him to say it clearly.

I didn't move and he looked ummm frustrated?

"oh god really? I dis. miss. you." he hissed every word "happy now?" why would I be happy?

I just leave. that boy is weird and he didn't tell me what I should call him.

* End of flashback*

this is a weird time to remember him. my mate's brother.
