The Alpha and The Assassin

Chapter 4

"So I take it Jake's coming with us," Red asks crossing his arms as he looks down at the pair. Ren and Jake finally take a break to look up at Red. How do they manage to go that long without really breathing?

"Yes," Ren states with finality filling her tone before they lock lips once more.

"You know, she scares me when they do this," Drake says looking down at the two. Drake is our vampire.

"I know. It's scary how long they can do that without breathing," Shea mutters. Drake wraps his arms around her tiny body , pulling him into her side. Shea is a pixie, and she's even smaller than me, which is cool. Drake and Shea are mates, which is kind of rare for their kinds to be paired up.

"So Emmet you staying or coming," Red asks looking at me.

"Staying. I don't think he'd let me leave anyways," I purr nudging Hayden with my tail. He rubs my feline ears earning another purr from me as he growls in agreement.

"Alright then. Have fun, but please do use protection. You probably shouldn't get knocked up quite yet," Red says right before they all disappear; including my twin who is still making out with Jake. I lean up to kiss my own mate only for him to pull his head from mine.I growl softly as I look at him with a glare.

"No. Explain what just happened," he says shaking his head.

"Red is my brother. You've already met Ren. Our parents died when we were very young, so we've been on our own for most of my life. Red is the leader to a group of assassins that Ren and I are a part of. Thomas and the hunters have been around for the last couple of years, with Ren and I pretty much just tracking them and keeping an eye on them for the last year or so. They've kind of just given up on the whole hunting thing at this point honestly. Jake is the one that Ren was making out with, and I'm pretty sure they are mates. That literally happens every time. It's ridiculous." Hayden cocks an eyebrow at me as I explain.

"Anything else?"

"Hmm nope. Not that I can think of," I say shaking my head. He nods slightly before an evil grin takes over his face. He presses a quick kiss to my lips before pulling away and heading back towards the bedroom. I glare at him as I cross my arms, entering complete pout mode. One of his hands firmly grasp my rear, earning a soft gasp from me. I lean up, softly rubbing my head against the side of his neck. He growls softly before pulling away, his eyes darkening as he walks. I bite the side of my lip before an idea pops into my head. With a devious smile, I slowly lick up the side of his neck. He growls louder, his fingers digging into my skin as he tightens his hold on me.

"Emmet," he growls out, warning clear in his tone. He's at a disadvantage though as I can see the lust clear in his eyes. I lightly nip at the base of his neck before pulling my head away completely. His form is tense as he opens our bedroom door. The door barely closes before I'm tossed onto the bed, again. His eyes are dark signaling that his wolf is pushing to the surface. I bite my lip softly as I look up at him, batting my eye lashes. He lets out a strangled groan as he crawls up towards me on the bed.

"You put your life at risk today," he growls out. His breath brushes lightly against my ear sending a shiver up my spine. I open my mouth to argue, to tell him that I wasn't at risk, but the look in his eyes shuts me up instantly. "I think you need to be punished now. You need to remember not to risk what is mine." My body heats up slightly at his words, at the indication in his voice. I bite my lip softly while I continue to look up at him.

"Whatever you think is best suited, alpha," I whisper softly. He growls in approval at my behavior before his head darts down and he latches onto the mark. My back arches up from the bed towards his chest at the sudden rush of pleasure.

"Good answer." I gasp softly at he looks down at me, intense heat filling his eyes as he thinks about what he's going to do to me. Oh goddess, this is going to be a long night.
