The Alpha and The Assassin

Chapter 1

FALLON POV

I awoke with a start. I whipped my head around the room looking for something. An intruder maybe? I had woke up from a noise. A strange noise. As I looked at my iPhone to see the time- it was 5:30am. I let out a breath of relief since the noise must had been in my sisters room next door. The walls were very thin. I groaned as I slipped out of bed. I knew I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep from all the stress about today, and tomorrow. As I slipped out of my bedroom I found my sister trying to sneak in my room! She had a water gun in her hand. I can only imagine how she was going to wake me up with that thing if I hadn't woken up already.

"Awwww! Cmon go back to sleep. I need to wake u up my traditional way" she cried. My sister- Charlotte always wakes me up with a water gun every time I have a special type of occasion that day. Only the water gun didn't have water in it at times. "No", I stated. "I would very much like to NOT get sprayed this morning. As u know I MUST look flawlessly beautiful"! I winked at her playfully. Charlotte roller her eyes. "mhmmm maybe u really need to get sprayed. U sure are full of yourself missy". A huge smile spreaded across my face.

I walked away from her and went down the hallway and into the kitchen. My mom was up. She hugged me and motioned me to eat breakfast. The whole time I was like wtf it's 5am peeps. "I have the perfect dress picked out for u, Fallon". My mother said. "Great". I said frowning. Mom grabbed the dress and headed to my room to pack the dress in my suitcase. It was June 8th. The first day of the 3-day ceremony. Where all the 7 packs come together and have a 'ooh try and find your mate ceremony'. All the Alphas are required to attend and anyone without a mate from the ages (18-23) Attend. I'm 19, but I'll be 20 in two weeks. I've been a few times but i didn't ever care or pay attention. I've been more worried about college.

My sister snapped me out of my thoughts as she pulled me with her to the bathroom. Charlotte was 17 but she was a damn good makeup artist. She made my face and I looked sexy. I had the usual- foundation, concealer, a beautiful lipgloss, mascara and my brows filled in perfectly. She put my beautiful natural deep red hair in curlers while I got dressed for the airport I put on skinny jeans and a blue crop tank. I wore black heels that I absolutely love, and had even gotten a pedicure with baby pink nail polish done.

I had to fly to California for the ceremony. The 3-day ceremony- by myself. I never was the type who had 'girlfriends' and boys? Ugh they were like wet dogs! Ugh! They expected me to let them slobber on me. Like I would swoon for every muscular male I see in my path. As if!! I could have any male or trick any male into falling in love with me- but as traditional as it sounds, I'm saving myself for my mate. Now yes I've kissed many-manyyy males and maybe felt them up-but I still had my v-card and I was only giving it to my mate.

As I went back to the bathroom and let my long curls down my long hair stoped at my lower back.I had a huge smile and I was ready. My sister whistled as I walked out to get my phone and suitcase. Everything I needed - even the knife and gun that was not visible but hidden on me. I was ready to get this over with. I was not hopeful for finding my mate. As I looked at the time - 8:19am I realized I needed to leave to get to the airport in time for my flight. I kissed and hugged my sister Charlotte and mother goodbye. "Be careful- and be NICE"! My mother yelled when I stepped in the car. My sister yelled, " And bring back a HOT ASS brother-in-law!!"I was laughing at her and I rolled down the widows to say "bye, I love you"! I then rolled the window back up and headed to the airport.

I turned the radio on to try and calm down these nerves I had and the song 'what lies beneath' by Breaking Benjamin came on. One of my favs. I had an uneasy sense in my stomach. Which I never got because I was an assassin. I knew how to hide my feelings and to shove them down. But this feeling wouldn't go away. And oh how I wished I listened to it.
