The Assassin Omega

Chapter 4: The Snake and the Rat

Kai slowly took off the mask revealing his pale skin and dark black hair that now flowed past his shoulders and down his back. The front part of his hair was held back with a long golden ribbon that stood out against the dark black. His eyes were the color of rubies, set a blaze with a mischievous glint. His face was smooth like porcelain, except one dark pink scar that ran across the right side of his face following the line of his defined cheekbone. His piercing red eyes locked onto the Alpha as if he were a snake hunting a rat, one side of his mouth twitched upward in a snarky smirk.

He set the mask down on top of his cloak on the chair, never breaking eye contact with the shocked Alpha. Even with the Omega's new, almost villainous appearance, Alexander couldn't help but take in the natural beauty of his once fated mate.

"Kai-" started Alexander, but before the Alpha could say anything further he was interrupted. The Omega finally broke eye contact, looking over to Kyle.

"Kyle! It's been a long time!" Kai said joyfully, running over to the Beta and enveloping him in a tight embrace. "How is Mandy and the kids?"

Alexander stared at the two conversing normally with an agape mouth. He wasn't used to being interrupted and then completely ignored. This wasn't the same quiet Kai that he was accustomed to all those years ago. This Kai was a totally different creature.

Alexander couldn't help but assess the rest of Kai's body and it was then that the Alpha noticed the two short swords that were attached at Kai's thighs. The sheaths were built into the Omega's bodysuit, only showing the black hilts, a long golden ribbon adorning the tops of each.

"You're not supposed to have weapons in here," Alexander managed to get out, finally coming to the realization that he was the one that was supposed to be in charge. Kai turned towards the Alpha, his eyebrows raising in momentary surprise before another, more devious smirk graced the Omega's lips.

"Are you going to ask for them, Alpha," Kai replied, drawing out the last word in a mocking manner. Shock reached Alexander's face once again. Kai was challenging him?

"Kai, don't." Kyle responded for the Alpha. Kai turned back to Kyle with a playful pout on his face.

"You never let me have any fun anymore, cuz."

Kyle smiled at the Omega's words, "oh trust me Kai, you will have your fun. Just please, not right now." Alexander looked between the two of them questioningly.

"Okay, what am I missing?" The Alpha asked.

"Well, big bad Alpha man," Kai started, laughing before continuing, "according to the Golden Arrows social norms, asking for one's weapon is extremely disrespectful. There is even a punishment that goes along with the act. Do you want to know what that punishment is, Alpha?" Kai paused for dramatic effect, not really expecting Alexander to answer him. "Death, my dear Alpha. Death is the punishment."

The shock in Alexander's face grew as he realized what Kai was implying but before he could say anything, Kai took the threat one step farther.

"It's too bad you didn't make a formal request for my weapons," the Omega pouted. "My babies love the taste of blood, especially Alpha blood. Maybe one day, you will get acquainted with them, Alpha."

"Now that's quite enough!" Alexander finally said, standing up to tower over the Omega, but before he could get around his desk, Kyle stood in between them, his hand on one of the Alpha's shoulders.

"Calm down Alex."

Kai smirked before pulling out the second chair situated in front of the desk and sitting down. "Yeah, calm down, I am only joking. I am not going to kill you," Kai said before whispering to himself, "well at least not today anyways."
