Rejected Mate, Innocent Assassin.

Chapter 36

Anya POV

When i saw him i was stunned by how good looking he was. But then he saw me. He looked right at me and headed towards me, jaw clenched tightly, I could tell he was angry. How he saw through my Glamour Spell was a mystery to me, I  knew I was in deep shit. He pulled me to what I assumed was his office, Mitch there looking worried. "Explain," he growled pointing to me while addressing his beta. "Charles called in a favour" Mitch said quickly. Scowling he looked at me asking "Who are you? Why are you here and why is Charles helping an Omega like you?" Well shit was all I could think. What do I say? I decided to stick with the original story. Pretending to be in full omega role I stuttered my answer. : I...I'm A....Anya Smith, an O...Omega who is tr...travelling to different p...packs hoping to meet my m...mate. I helped Ch...Charles with something s..so he is just returning the fa...favor. I finishing painfully, hoping he believed me. But instead he narrowed his eyes and gave a penetrating stare. "Leave us," he barked at Mitch making Mitch jump and scramble out the door.

As Xander stalked slowly toward me I kept stepping back, hopefully towards the door. I found myself plastered to a wall a good distance from the door. Placing his hands on either side of me, leaning down with a sneer gracing his lips, "You are no omega" he spat. "I'll ask you again Anya Smith, why.are.you.here? He asked again gripping my shoulders painfully. I looked him in the eye and realized that lying was out of the question, he was too perceptive. I narrowed my eyes, smiled at him. "You right, Rogue King," I quipped pulling his hands off my shoulders. He suddenly smiled. A smile that had me feeling uneasy as he gently stroked my cheek.

"You still have his scent on you, your mate's scent. Let's change that, shall we?" Next thing I knew my arms were locked in a death grip above my head and his lips were on mine, gently nipping and sucking my lips. Using his body he pressed me against the wall, using his free hand he pull my head back so that he got better access to my lips, plunging his tongue inside my mouth. He tasted dangerous and so was his kiss. By the time he lifted his head we were both breathing heavily. "Well sweetheart, fancy finding you here. You sure have been hard to find. Pity my brother got you first."

He laughed seeming quite happy. "Thank you for coming to me. Tonight I will make you my Luna." I felt shock run through me at his words. "Is that why you have been looking for me?You want to make me your mate? You know who I am, what I am, do you honestly believe that it will be that easy? That I won't kill you?" Anya asked incredulously. 

"Oh sweetheart, that's the best part. My mark will make you feel things, want things that you will have no control over" he smirked as leaned forward nipping my neck.  I found myself panicking. He still held my hands bound over my head. Damien's  face swam before my eyes. I couldn't let him mark me. I started chanting a spell that used the void element moving me through space when I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I fought the dizziness and the darkness that was trying to claim me, finishing the spell. I had managed to transport myself to my room. Barely able to hold on to my consciousness, I grabbed my bag, with my essentials and ran as fast as I could since I didn't have energy to use another teleportation spell. I managed to make it to where the vehicles were parked stealing a motor bike I sped out of the compound following Safyra instincts. Using the elements to hide my track as best as I could I made it to a cave a few miles away losing consciousness.

When I awoke the sun was already high in the sky, I had been out for almost twelve hours. Using elemental magic I check my barriers and my surroundings noting that I was safe. I was almost completely healed just a bit hungry. Shifting, I let Safyra hunt for our meal. I decided to stay in the cave to figure out my next move.

I.was angry with myself and Safyra was angry with Xander. I couldn't stop.apologizing to her for what had happened but she didn't blame me. I wonder what Xander mark looked like, Damien's mark was beautiful, almost the same as his tattoo. I missed it, I missed him. I wondered if he felt it when Xander marked me. Did he feel pain as I did when he marked someone else? I quickly put a stop to my thoughts, having been marked again was making me nostalgic.

Damien's POV

I was in yet another meeting with my mother, father and Diana. The topic once again was my marriage date with they urging me to bring up the date. Apparently, they could not wait another five months but I had no intention of moving it forward. In fact I needed more time, time to find a way to get my Anya back and make her my queen. My mother had gone insane when she found out about Sofia and the fact that my father had a child with her. She demanded that my father give up the throne since she will not be supporting him ever again.  My father had no choice but to agree, hence my hasty engagement to a woman my mother had chosen years ago. I now had to follow my own advice, Mark but don't Mate.  I suddenly felt a pain in my chest and Malik immediately retreated to the back of my mind. Not long after the pain stopped but I knew what it meant....Anya. It's been about eight months since I marked Diana yet I could not believe that she would betray me. I hastily got up and left without a word to anyone. They were calling me but I ignored them, I was too angry to talk, too hurt to think. As soon as I got to my room a sharp pain hit me in the chest spreading throughout my body. She had been Marked. Someone had marked my mate. My mate let someone else mark her. I felt lost. My hope was gone. Instead jealousy and rage burned along with the pain of her betrayal. I was going to kill her new mate and she was going to pay.
