Secret Lies

Chapter 3

~Ari~

"Hey, I just finished digging out his daily schedule. I just need to find a opening." I said, walking into my living room. "So,when are you gonna take action ?"A husky voice reached my ears and sent shivers down my spine.

I stopped dead in my tracks and looked up. There was Kaine, leaning against my wall. Damn, he is a fine specimen of a man. At six feet seven, he over towers me easily. He has a mess of fine, light brown hair, a ripped body and a face that would have women falling at his feet was completed with deep emerald green eyes."Stop treating this place like it's your house.You can't just come and go as you like." I said,annoyance dripping from my voice, even though I'm secretly happy to see him. I will never admit it, though.

I met Kaine about three years ago, when I first moved to New Orleans. I was moving my stuff in when he came over. I immediately got this tingling sense come over me. "Hi, are you new here?" I looked up to see where the voice came from. An incredibly hot guy was standing in front of me.

"Are you blind or something? Can't you see me moving my things in? I'm obviously new." I replied with my usual sarcasm. "Wow, feisty. Okay, anyway, my name is Kaine. What's yours?" he asked, smiling at me.

"Ari."

I replied while continuing to move my boxes in to my new apartment.

"You must be immortal." Kaine said in an observing voice.

I froze.

I slowly turned around before asking, "what makes you think so?"

I said, narrowing my eyes at him suspiciously.

"Its just that your eyes don't look like normal human eyes. It is more like luminous,and by the looks if it, you are a reaper.Most reapers chose assassination as a job, but don't worry, I'm a werewolf.Oh, and I like your eyes." he said, winking at me.

My eyes is purple in colour.I was taken aback by how perceptive he was.

I scanned him from head to toe and back again. When I finally looked at his eyes, he said, "So, do I pass your test?" He smirked at me.

He doesn't look like a werewolf to me, but I guess looks can be deceiving. I went back to moving my things."Here, let me help you." Kaine started to bend down and carried my boxes into my house. I wasn't comfortable with a guy going into my house but I could use an extra hand so I kept quiet. After about an hour, we finally finished unpacking my stuff. I invited him into my house to thank him for helping me. We sat at my sofa and started talking. We talked about random stuff like"Why did I move to New Orleans?" and "What do I do for a living?"

Finally, I could not hold it in anymore.

I asked, "Why did you help me when you don't even know me." Kaine stayed silent. I waited impatiently for him to answer my question.Patience was not my forte."You know werewolves can tell if their mate is nearby, right?" I nodded, not getting where it was going. Kaine took a long pause before continuing."Well, I sensed that you are my mate." he said looking at me, gauging my reaction. I slowly stood up, walking towards my window. "What's that supposed to mean?" I said finally."It's when a werewolf finds his mate, we will have this connection. Don't tell me you didn't feel it?" he asked, his gaze probing."I......Um..." I tried to grasp for an answer. After a long pause, I said "Look, I know you think that I'm your mate but, you won't be happy with me and it might be a mistake that I'm your mate. Besides, I have my own stuff to deal with." I brace myself as I look into his eyes. I felt myself drowning in his eyes. Mushy, I know.But the truth is what it is. Kaine looked resigned like he knew what my response would be, beforehand. "You work as an assassin, right? I can be your handler, since you are adamant about not being my mate, and I do not want to leave you alone. I know people around here so I can find you assignments without having to worry about you." he said looking at me, his eyes beseeching me to agree. I thought about it for a while, weighing the pros and cons. I didn't have anything to lose, so I agreed. I got my assignments, we worked well and the rest was history.

"I'm going to need to check out the places he goes." I said to reply his question.

"Who are you?" asked Dare in a hostile tone while Denise curious, as they came from their bedroom.I turned around to look at them, before looking back at Kaine, who was looking at me with jealousy burning in his eyes. I never did tell my brother about Kaine and Kaine about my brother.

Shit just got real.
