I'm The Alpha's Assassin Mate

New Target

Harsh rain slapped against the window as lightning flashed, followed by the roaring of thunder.

The perfect opportunity for murder.

"No…wait-please! I beg you!" A kneeling man begged as a lean figure clad in black slowly approach him.

Like a predator stalking prey.

A sword being unsheathed sounded loudly despite the weather, making the kneeling man quake.

"NO, PLEASE! I'll, I'll give you everything, everything you want!! Money? I have lots of them!! How ‘bout a trade?? I give you money, you let me go?? PLEASE!! I’ll do anything!!" The man begged but that only angered the figure further.

'My name is Bethany Lloyd.’

Before the man can even scream, the figure was already in front of him, the sword slashed in a downward arc.

‘And I’m an assassin.’

Bethany sighed through her nose. She flicked her blonde hair out of her face while glaring at the now-dead greedy man whose mouth was open with a silent scream. She rolled her eyes while thinking, ‘When will they realize that begging never helps? You’ll always reap what you sow.’

She walked towards the window, avoiding the dead bodies crowding around the window. She jumped out of the window and disappear through the heavy rain. Even if she heard a horrifying scream rang through the night, she never once give a glance.

Bethany pushed open the main door of her house and saw a man sitting on the couch, looking through some paper.

"Evening Harry." She said to the man.

"A successful mission I presume." The man, Harry, said while reading the papers.

"Come on, give me some credit! Since when did I ever fail you, dear uncle?" She asked with a cheeky grin.

Harry snorted. “Rome.”

Bethany huffed, “One time! And you never stop reminding me of it. I was 13!”

Harry chuckled as he put away the papers. “Someone has to remind you of it. I’m your uncle, it’s my duty to embarrass you. There’s pizza on the counter by the way.”

"PIZZA!!!" She cheered and jogged to the counter.

"Leave some for your brother." He yelled after her.

"No Promises," Bethany said, mouth full of pizza.

Harry gave her a look.

"What? You know he can just run to the nearest pizza store and buy another one." She said and reached for her second slice.

Harry just sighed and walked away so it's just Bethany herself and pizza.

By the time her brother came back, a quarter of the pizza’s already gone.

"I'm home!" He yelled.

"We know Sebastian! You’re loud without doing anything." She yelled back.

He snorted and jumped over the couch, towards the counter.

"Hey sis, didn't know you-is that pizza?" He asked as he saw Bethany stuffing her face with pizza.

"Erm....No?" She said with an innocent look.

"Well, don't you want to share it?" He asked and she shook her head as she grabbed another slice.

"Hey! Leave some for me." He said and try to snatch the pizza box from her.

"There's still some left! I just ate a quarter of it." She said as Sebastian successfully snatched it away form her.

"You Pumbaa." He said sourly. Bethany just rolled her eyes at her brother.

"I'm going to take a shower," I said and walked away.

I was halfway up the stairs when Harry called out.

"After you bathe, both of you, come back down. I have another mission waiting for you." He said and I continue my way back up.

~

After Bethany and Sebastian bathe, they wait for Harry in the living room. "Here." Harry walked over gave them two files.

Bethany pulled out her papers and read them out loud.

"Randolph Stoner…?" She mumbled.

"That's your next target's name, dumb-dumb," Sebastian said while pulling his papers out. Bethany glared at him as he smiled innocently back. He turned back to his papers and raised his brow when he read them.

"Huh? Ramona Stoner?" He said.

"Yea, that's your next target's name, dumb dumb." Bethany copied him. Then he copied me by glaring back at me.

Wait.

Randolph Stoner. Ramona stoner.

"Wait a minute," Bethany looked at Harry. "Our new targets are siblings?"

"What kind of people wants us to assassinate a pair of siblings? Jealous much?" She asked as Harry nodded.

"A pair of twins to be exact. Look, they were born in the same year, month and date." Sebastian said.

"That information is classified, not the twin part," Harry said.

"Why?" Sebastian said.

"As I said, Classified," Harry said. "But, I can tell you one thing." He said, leaning closer.

Bethany and Sebastian also leaned closer to him.

"It's a Mission S." He said and leaned back.

"Mission S? That means...." Sebastian's voice trailed off and turn to his twin.

"The targets are not humans ....but shifters." Bethany continued for him while looking at the wolf on the papers.

After the briefing, Bethany was in the weapon room, packing her daggers and swords. After a few minutes, Sebastian joined her.

While Bethany's weapons were swords-type, Sebastian's were gun-types.

They were packing their weapons because Harry said that they need to go undercover to get closer to their targets. Since their targets are not humans, they need to be extra careful.

Sebastian plopped his bag beside mine, checking through his guns and packing them silently. Ever since Harry told them that their targets are creatures, Sebastian's been acting strange.

Finally, Bethany can't take it anymore. She slammed her dagger on the table and turned to him.

"Okay spit it out." She asked. He sighed as he put down his shotgun not looking at her.

"Do you think we can pull this off?" He said and she looked down. The truth is, She doesn't know either.

When we were 6 years old, their parents died no, was murdered in front of their very own eyes by something they have never seen before. Something un-human, a shifter. He turned into a gigantic wolf before them and attacked their parents.

Their parents were very strong people both physically and mentally. If their parents can't even defeat that one shifter, how can they with two?

Bethany's face soften and put a hand on his shoulder.

"I don't know but we can always try right?" She said.

"Yeah..." He said hesitantly.

"What's our motto." She asked.

He smirked. "We are unstoppable, we are fearless, 'cause we are fear.

"You got that right," Bethany said with a wicked smiled. "Come on, let's finish this up and hit the sack early."

Sebastian nodded and they went back to packing their bags with more faith in themselves.

-Next morning, 5:00 A.M-

When Bethany woke up this morning, Harry told her to wear something less…black. Something about not giving a scary vibe to the students. She groaned and went to the deepest part of her closet where she never touched in a long time.

When she reached the back of her closet, she pulled out a box and open it then poured all the clothes out. She picked out a few clothes and went to get ready.

After She finishes her morning routine, she put on a long sleeve red shirt with a huge LOVE written on it, skinny jeans, a black beanie and a pair of black sneakers. She frowned at her reflection cause after her parents' death she never wore anything else than black. She sighed, god....she missed them.

She shook off that thought and grabbed her backpack and the other bag full of weapons, turn off the light then went downstairs to meet Harry and Sebastian.

She dropped her bags at the living room couch and walked into the kitchen.

"Wow...you looked....normal," Sebastian said. Bethany crosses her arms and raises a brow at him. She scanned him from head to toe, he was wearing a grey baggy sweater with a blue button-down shirt inside, dark blue jeans and a pair of army boots.

"Thanks, you too." She said and sat down beside him. "So which town you’re going to unleashed us at?" Sebastian asked once Harry sat down opposite of them.

"Both of you are going undercover in this school," Harry said and gave them each a file.

"All the things are settled, the schedules and lockers number for both of you are in there and…" He checked his watch."You'll be leaving in 10 minutes so make sure you got everything, weapons, clothes, and others and school starts at 9."

They both nodded and open their files. Harry smiles and walks out of the kitchen. Then he poked his head in.

"Oh, and you need to find a house on your own because I forgot to rent one." With a smile, he poked his head back.

They rolled their eyes and pour out their documents. As Harry said, there's a paper with their schedule and locker pin on it but.... there's another paper. Curious, Bethany picked up the paper and read it.

"Winterville High School?" She said out loud.

"Is it just me or does the school name sound familiar?" She heard Sebastian asked while looking through his copy of documents.

Bethany hummed.

"It does sound familiar." She said and look at the time and cursed.

"s**t! We're gonna be late!!" She exclaimed and quickly put all the documents back into the file and stuff it into her backpack.

She carried both her bags and rushed out of the house and ran towards her Chevrolet Corvette z06. But when I tried to open the door-

"Locked!!!!”

She tried fishing out her car keys from her bag and groaned when she can't find it. Then, she smacked her forehead when she remembers she saw the keys on the table when she rushed out.

She dropped all her stuff and ran back to the house which earned a curious look from Sebastian when she ran past him.

She opened the front door and immediately saw it on the living room table. She grabbed it and was going to rush out again but stopped when she remembered she forgot to inform Harry that they're going. Being the lazy girl that she is, she shouted from the living room.

"HARRY!!! WE'RE OFF!!!" She shouted and waited for his reply. When she heard him gave her a weak 'yep' she was off.

When she reached the car, she saw Sebastian smirking at her. He was going to open his mouth to say something but she beat him to it.

"Did you forgot the keys again? Yes, I did so just shut the hell up and get in the car." Bethany growled, opening the driver seat's door throwing all her bags on the back seats and got in the car.

She heard him let out a chuckled and the passenger seat’s door opened, he poked his head in and threw all his bags on the back seats and got in himself then they're off.

From the window, Harry was watching them depart with a frown. When he saw them drove away he sighed.

"Aw, look at you, all sad and lonely. Missed them already?" He heard a voice mocked.

"Don't test me, Damien," Harry said.

Harry heard him scoffed "Right, are you trying to forget or is it just your age catching up?" Damien said.

"What do you want Damien?" He said watching his reflection from the window and saw no reflection.

"Boss ordered me to check on you." He said.

"For what?" He asked turning around to face a smirking Damien.

"To see if you are following orders." He said still smirking. Harry scoffed then he turns back to look out of the window.

"You know, the boss asked for you to assassinate the twins, why did you say you want your nephew and niece to do it?" He asked.

"That's none of your business." He spat.

Damien clicked his tongue."Well, look at you, all caring and stuff." He said and took a step closer.

"The legendary man who's was once called The Beast of Mortem." He took one more step closer. From the corner of Harry’s eye, he saw a crossbow sitting on the nightstand.

"The man who shows no mercy, no weakness, no love. Until one day." Damien said and stopped walking when he’s too close for Harry’s comfort.

"Tell me, how's Cherlin?" Damien whispered behind Harry’s ears.

Then all Harry saw was red.

He moved so fast that Damien didn’t even know what’s happening before he was shot with an arrow. Damien clutched his chest and shot Harry a glare. The area around the arrow was turning grey.

Harry lowered the crossbow. “Like I said,” Harry glared back. He squad down, “Don’t test me.” He slammed the crossbow onto Damien.

Damien screeched before bursting into a blast of shadows.

Silver can't kill Damien’s kind but it sure can give them a major injury.

They’ll turn into a shadow and return to whatever hell-hole they crawled out from.

He sighed and threw away the crossbow.

'Stay safe' Harry silently prayed for the twins.
