The Hunters Mate

Chapter 21; Traitor

Allison's P.O.V

I grab the pale brown box eagerly. Jason and I have always agreed that we will never meet in person, just in case someone is watching, lets just say that he cant protect himself very well against angry werewolves who are attacking him for helping the Marked Assassin.

I tear open the box and take a whiff of that new clothes smell. The great scent intrudes my nostrils and they welcome it gladly, my new uniforms always smell the same. Leather, lavender and... Rogue? I sniff it again and notice the faint trace of rogue has vanished, I must have been imagining it.

Being so far away from my mate is affecting me, I don't want it to.

I take my suit behind a tree and slip it on, attaching the holster along my hip. I place all my weapons on and a devilish smirk enters my face.

Show time.

I hide my bags well and take off, dodging tree after tree and every now and again landing gracefully on a stump. I sniff the air, a group of rogues are nearby. I sprint off in the direction of the smell until I am watching them carefully from a tree.

Seven rogue are all gathered around something I cant quite see from my vantage point so I use my ears instead.

"Never! I will never take you to her." A man growls viciously.

"You will take us to the Marked Assassin and you will help us kill her." A burly rogue snaps. This catches my attention, so they are looking for me?

"Idiots one through seven up here!" I shout, standing up and leaning against the trunk. They all stiffen until one by one they turn to face me up in my tree. I jump down and stalk towards them, twirling a blade around my finger.

"So I heard you were looking to issue a challenge to me." I state casually, looking purely at my knife. Cocky, I know but they cant beat me with just seven of them.

"Ah, so she has finally arrived. I hope you enjoyed our show, you Jason are no longer of service. We have already got what we want." One of the rouges say before another rips him to shreds. My face remains emotionless but on the inside I am screaming. Jason, my unknown right hand man. I have known him for years yet never met him face to face and the first time I see him he is ripped to shreds in front of my eyes. Defending me.

"You are going to regret that." I whisper, face remaining impassive.

"Am I?" The rouge question, raising an eyebrow.

"Mmhmm." I mumble and in a split second the dagger I was playing with is lodged in his throat. I eye up the others. "Who's next?" I seethe, anger filling my face finally.

"We will destroy you Allison, just like we did your parents." Another rogue voices, I see red. So these are the ones responsible for my parents death.

"I am going to torture you, staring with cutting off your fingers. Followed with you hands then your arms and so fourth." I say, voice dripping with venom. My target has been located, I eye up the rogue that spoke and take aim with my bow.

"Don't try any of that little Allison. You can either come with us willingly or we will kill you." He says.

"Oh yeah? You and what army?" I reply. And just like that at least one hundred rogues materialise out of thin air along with a warlock and a lady I have seen somewhere before, but I just cant place it. It is when these monsters form I realise, I just walked straight into a war.

And this time I am not going to win.

Only one thing left to do.

I smile and perform a backflip, landing into a tree.

"Ciao" I holler with a smile before taking off, jumping from tree to tree and leading them deeper into the forest.

Deeper into my territory.

And back to all my potions.

The one thing left to do is put up a fight and take out as many of them as possible.

I take a sip of every potion I can use as my advantage except for one and turn to face the crowd tat has been tracking me.

"Don't you guys think this is a bit unfair?" I sit down on a thick branch and casually swing my legs back and fourth. "I mean there is like a hundred of you."

"Come dear Allison you are the great Marked Assassin and Luna of the Blood Moon pack." The strange lady replies. I scoff, former Luna.

"Exactly, you should have brought two hundred." I state before downing the last potion, turning me invisible. I start shooting at the crowd and they all go down at a rapid speed. When I run out of arrows I pull out my guns and shoot faster than lightning. What's left of the crowd growls and springs into action. Circling the tree and shifting into their wolves. I take out my sword and jump down, hashing at the wolves and they cant do anything about it.

"Enough!" A powerful force hits me and sends me flying into a tree. I blink my eyes rapidly, trying to say awake. Strange lady walks into my view.

"Oh my dear Allison, thanks you for taking care of my daughter, now that she is in the dungeon and you are away my life is so much easier now." She whispers. Her daughter? "And to think, all I had to do was place a fake bond on her, lead Colton into believing that marking you was the only way to save his pack, frame you for murder and hide behind my sweet innocent mask. It is all easy for the other of the most powerful witch ever. Right honey?" She asks the warlock next to her who nods gruffly.

What is she even on about?

Just as I am drifting off into sleep it all clicks into place. The rogue, the bond, the arguments, Mal's parents, all of it. I know who this lady is.

The crowd turns around and so does the traitor. "Sweet Allison, you were really a great Luna. You should have really come with us willingly, I really didn't want to do this." The traitor sighs before using her magic to lift up one of my daggers and throwing it straight into me. "To think, the mighty Marked Assassin has been killed by one of her own weapons." She says before making her whole pack disappear into this air.

I cant let her win.

I dip my fingers into my blood and weakly start writing in the dirt. I look at my message proudly before closing my eyes.

Ida, I am are going to die. I state blandly. Can you do one thing before that happens?

Yes Allison, anything. She replies, already drifting off into her forever sleep.

Howl, howl for our mate.

And she does.

A/N

Sooooooo, questions!

Who do you think the traitor is?

What was her message?

Will Colton hear her?

Is Allison going to die?
