After my eighth birthday everything changed for me, I shifted for the first time and I was able to hide my scent and my Lycan.
Fortune needed to stay a secret, we didn’t want my Mother to know about her and we didn’t want to find out what she had in store for us if she ever found out about Fortune. It made it easier to sneak out of the house though and it gave me the change to train more than the two hours of training I got in school.
My Mother would always ask Dad about the assignment he had been on, but he never answered her questions and I truly believe if he had ever answered her questions she would have sold him out. I would follow Dad whenever he left the house and I overheard every conversation he had with Colter about his assignments, making me and Fortune feeling proud of what he had accomplished.
It is a week after I turned twelve, Dad just got back after being gone for almost two weeks and I can’t remember if he left for that long before. Most of his assignments are done within a few days, but they never take more than a week and for a few days I worried that something might have happened to him.
Mother is yelling at him as she always does after he returns and Dad always remains calm with her, but not today. Today he releases his aura to make her back off and something deep inside me tells me his assignment didn’t go as planned.
An hour later Dad leaves the house with a file in his hand and I follow him at a safe distance, he may not be able to smell my scent but I don’t want him to see me if he turns around. He meets up with Colter in an old cottage on the far side of our territory and as I suspected his assignment failed, his target is to well–guarded for anyone to get close to him.
Colter and Dad walk to the back porch to talk about my Mother and I sneak into the house to read the file Dad left on the coffee table.
His target is a man named Akar and he has bought sixteen year old orphans, pretending to give them a better life. Problem is that he is the kind of Wolf he tells the orphanages he will protect them from and none of them survive their stay with him, but he never mentions that to anyone.
I head back to the house to do some research on the guy, but I am not sure how I can help Dad with this assignment and the more I find on Akar the more I fear he will get away with his crimes.
Dad wasn’t kidding when he told Colter his house is guarded like a fortress, all the information that is available online about his house shows guards everywhere and even my cocky little Lycan isn’t confident that we could get in to his house.
A week passes and I still have no answer to my question, how can I get close enough to Akar to take him out. Dad left this morning for a new assignment and Mother left two hours ago, leaving me alone for however long Dad’s assignment lasts.
“Let’s go to the attic, I want to know what is up there.” Fortune says after I have finished my dinner and I make my way up to the attic with the argument between my parents on my mind.
I had just gotten back from school when I heard my Mother arguing with Dad and Fortune and I were both curious to find out what this argument was about. Mother wanted to clear out the attic, but Dad told her that that wasn’t going to happen and Mother wanted to know why he wanted to keep all the old junk of his parents. Dad told her it belonged to him and that it was his choice to keep their stuff or not.

look at whatever it is my Grandparents left here. I open the door to the attic and I don’t know where to look first, there is so much in the attic.
I see three storage cupboards standing side by side on one side and on the other side there are trunks lined up, in the middle of the attic is a table with two chairs. By the looks of it no one has been here for a very long time and I first have to clean the table.
Before I leave the attic to get supplies to clean up the attic I open the curtains and windows, making sure some fresh air runs through the attic and then I start cleaning. It doesn’t take me long to clean the table and once I am done I open the first trunk, a trunk filled with journals. Each journal is handwritten and I am amazed when I see the date in them, some are centuries old.
I spend the entire weekend up in the attic and I read journal after journal, learning about every Assassin in my family. The following week I sneak up to the attic every chance I get, the only ones that know where I disappear to are Ariel and my other friends and they make sure no one comes looking for me.
After reading every journal I know I am a very special Assassin, I have every ability known to be given to Assassins and I am the only one in my family that ever possessed all of them.
During the weekend I don’t get the chance to sneak up to the attic and I can’t wait for Dad to go on his next assignment, I want to know what is in those cupboards. Monday after school I rushed home, knowing Dad had left again and I knew Mother had followed shortly after Dad left this morning.
The moment I stand in front of the first cupboard I become nervous and it takes me a few minutes before I am opening the first cupboard.
Inside are jars lined up with a label on each of them, some are small while others are larger and some contain liquid while others contain powder. Most of the names don’t ring a bell and I hope I can figure out what they are for.
The second cupboard contains a variety of objects and my best guess is that they are used to mix the contents of the jars, but again I have no idea what everything is used for.
That is until I take a closer look at the contents of the third cupboard, at first I thought I saw more journals about my family and I might have felt a little disappointed.
I guess that the fact they were standing on a wooden book standard should have told me these journals were special and it wasn’t until I stepped closer that I saw writing on each cover. There are a total of ten journals, three on the bottom shelf, three on the shelf above it and three on the top shelf.
On the second shelf from the top there is a big journal and it is opened to a page with a drawing of a very pretty flower, but the skull and crossed bones tell me to stay away from it.
I open the journal with the title Poison and after reading the first few pages I grab the big journal to look up the page mentioned in the other journal, it describes how to make the poison mentioned in the journal
For the next two weeks I read the journals from the third cupboard and I know I have found a way to help
Dad.
It takes another three weeks before I am able to get the last ingredient I need, once I have made the poison I have to wait. I need an opportunity to give him this poison, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to do that and then my luck changes.
Akar will be attending a meeting between Alphas and business men from the cities and this year our Pack has to host the meeting, not something Alpha Max is looking forward to.

If my research is correct he will have one of his men taste his food for him and this poison won’t do anything if it is ingested in a small dosage, but if Akar finishes his plate he will be dead by morning.
Finished
Ariel asks if I want to help out in the kitchen, giving me the opportunity to spike Akar’s food and I even get to serve it to him. I see one of his men take to bites of his food before Akar waves him off and I smile as I see him finishing his plate.
After dinner they all go to the main living room and with the nice weather outside Luna Elyse opens the doors to the patio. I have no idea when everyone left because Dad took me home around ten and it wasn’t until noon the next day we heard the news of Akar’s demise.
