The Assassin’s Mate
Misunderstanding

"Mila, put the knife down. You don't know what you're talking about."

"No I know exactly what's going on here. You tried to set me up. You wanted me to go there to be part of this sex ring. But you didn't expect me to come out, did you? How many girls have you done this to? HUH?"

He walked towards me with his hands up in surrender and said "Mila you are making a mistake. I'm not a part of this. I'm trying to fix it. You have to believe me."

His eyes were full of so many emotions that I couldn't concentrate on just one but my wolf knew he was telling the truth and was begging me to hear him out.

"Talk." I said still standing there with my knife in my hand ready to lunge at the slightest hint of trouble.

"I was never supposed to be Alpha."

I looked at him with the biggest, what the fuck face I could muster and dropped my arms to my sides as he ran his hand down his face and walked to the couch to sit down. He paused for a moment then inhaled deeply before he looked at me and started to speak.

"My older brother Cooper took over the pack when he turned 25, I was only 5 years old and coincidently so was his daughter Olivia. We grew up together and were the best of friends. We were so close that people thought we were twins. When I turned 18 I was accepted into the WBI academy. 6 months later our unit was briefed on a sex trafficking operation."

"You mean the same one I just blew up?"

"Yeah." He said hanging his head down.

"I'm sorry Tanner. I didn't know."

"No one does except for Rory my Beta. We were at the academy together and became really good friends. He was on the assignment with me when we got the call that Olivia was missing and he even helped us look for her. We searched for almost a year without any word from her. Then one day the WBI received an anonymous letter with names and pictures of women that were involved in this ring. Olivia was one of them."

I put my knife down and walked over to the couch. Sitting down next to him, I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. He looked at me with eyes full of sadness and kept talking.

"When my brother found out he gathered a group of men and went to find her. The letter said she had been sold to some rich guy in Canada so he was going to get her back. I told him it was a bad idea going after her but how could he let her be out there being forced to do goddess knows what when he was at home doing nothing? I alerted the WBI and we were going to follow him and do it our way but he ignored my orders and ran into the house where she was being held. He was killed the moment he stepped foot in the door then they killed all the girls in the house, Olivia included. Whoever it was that killed them, disappeared. We lost track of them for almost 3 years, until the night you told me what you saw. After I contacted the WBI we set up surveillance on the building but were never able to catch the leader. Then you asked me to bring you there and I didn't want to do it but you were persistent so I alerted them of the plan and we had teams set up along a 10 mile radius of the building."

"Why didn't you just tell me? I could have stayed and found out who they were. But instead you let me go in and demolish the fucking place."

"Mila, it isn't your job to find him. You got those girls out safe and that means more than you will ever know. But finding this evil person, is my main goal in life. And I won't stop until I do." He got up from the couch and walked to the stairs.

"But you don't have to do it alone. I can help you." I said following after him.

"No, Mila. I already put you in enough danger letting you walk into the lions den alone, while you stupidly drugged yourself without telling me might I add. I won't be doing it again." He clenched his fists together at his sides as he tried to calm his anger.

"I did what I had to do and I won't apologize for it but I can handle myself I don't need you to save me." I screamed back and stepped closer standing toe to toe with him.

"You went against my orders but somehow managed to get them out before blowing the place up. You could have gotten hurt." He said as he moved closer causing our noses to touch.

"But. I. Didn't." I said huffing from the anger that was begging to be set free.

"I said NO! And you will NOT defy me again or I will chain you to my bed and fuck you until you obey. Do you understand me?" His hot breath against my lips caused my legs to clamp together and a pool of lust to collect in my panties.

My wolf was standing at attention, whimpering from his command, waiting for our next move when he placed his hand behind my neck and pulled me to him crashing his lips to mine. Teeth clashing and hands grabbing, I threw my arms around his neck as he squeezed my ass hard lifting me up so effortlessly and wrapping my legs around him.

He walked us upstairs as we devoured each other's mouths barely coming up to breathe. We reached his bedroom and he sat me on his bed. We broke apart panting as he slid his hand up the side of my dress all the way to my neck, hooking his finger into the material and ripped it off in one quick motion and threw it to the floor. I sat there in nothing but my silk thong as he eyed me up and down and licking his lips.

He pulled me by my legs to the edge of the bed then flipped me over and yanked my ass up in the air. I felt so vulnerable and so hot I didn't know what to expect next and when he rubbed him self against my ass while sliding his hands up and down my back, my entire body shuttered at his touch.

"Tanner." I said with such need in my voice that I thought I would die if he didn't do something to me soon.

He grabbed my hair, wrapping it around his fist and yanked my head up. "Did I say you could talk?"

I gasped as he slapped my ass hard leaving a delicious sting lingering along my flushed skin.

"Do not talk unless I tell you to, wild one. Do you understand?"

I nodded my head as his grip on my hair loosened slightly. "Good girl."

He walked away from the bed leaving me an anxious ball of excitement and soon he returned with a silk tie. He placed my hands behind my back and tightly tied it around my wrists. "Just in case you try to get away." He whispered against my back as he trailed soft kisses down my spine. "I'm going to fuck you so hard that every time you want to defy me, you'll think of this moment and be reminded not to."
