Story: Seth
“No, she uses her skills to find the differences between humans and immortals.I have worked with her over the past three years.I get college credit for work experience, which is why I’m graduating after this semester.”
He cupped his hands around the warm mug and took a sip of tea as he watched Aubrey process what he’d already told her.Although he knew that everything Kai, Liv, and the rest of the assassins had told him was to be kept secret, he knew he could trust Aubrey.
“The assassins work for an organization called the Dark Company, founded by Ghost, who is a white wolf shifter.There are more shifters than vampires who work for Ghost.They used to work individually, but when Kai met Liv, she insisted that she would feel better if Kai had someone to watch his back, so Ghost gave the okay for pairs to work together on all missions.It worked well, especially after Reaper met and turned his mate, Ara.Reaper is a timber wolf shifter and Ara—well, Ara is special.When she was human, she was telekinetic.Able to move objects, manipulate her environment and people.She was turned by accident and is now a red wolf shifter.Her powers have grown exponentially and she can heal and regenerate dead tissue.She brought Reaper back from death.
“You’ll meet Reaper and Ara when I introduce you to Liv and Kai, but the others who are usually around are Xander, Hunter, Gunnar, Ax, Jade—who are all shifters—and Thomas, Isaac, and Kane, the vampires.”
Aubrey was quiet for several minutes, processing everything he’d thrown at her, but he wanted her to be prepared.Hearing about them differed greatly from meeting them.
“What do you mean by mate?Is it like wife or husband?”Aubrey’s mouth barely moved, the question quiet.
“From what Kai and Reaper have told me, it’s a deeper connection.When they both caught sight of their mates, they knew that they were meant to be together.Kai had a little rougher go at it.He denied to himself and others that Liv could be his mate, until she was kidnapped and he had to face losing her.Reaper had known Ara was his mate the moment he laid eyes on her.What they feel is love, but they describe it as a deep need to be with their mate, combined with a strong feeling of protectiveness.It’s hard to describe, but when you see how they act with each another, you’ll understand.”
Seth reached for her hand, smiling when she threaded her fingers with his and curled them around his hand.She was starting to trust him more, but he knew that she was confused about the feelings he brought out in her.
“Do they know about me?”
“Yes.I told them the same day I met you.Kai figured it out when I started talking and through their mind link, communicated his thoughts to Liv.Liv is excited for me.”
He could see the doubt reflected in her eyes.
“They want what’s best for me and you are what’s best for me.I noticed you the moment you walked in the classroom.And when you walked away from me the first time, I was devastated.I know that this world is new to you, even though you’ve been a vampire for ten years, but I know something that you don’t.I’m your mate.”
