A Gamma's Revenge (Zalia) novel Chapter 403

Chapter 403
Mack’s p.o.v.

Hearing her say what she suspected about her Mother and the questions she would ask Diego makes Commander feel proud of them, she saw her Mother for who she was and is. Like everyone else in the room I listen quietly as Maleah is speaking and I see Dad looking at Diego when she admits she had been eavesdropping on them.

I think the biggest shocker for them to hear was that she managed to sneak into that cottage and neither one of them heard her that day, but Commander isn’t pleased to hear she wanted to go after Akar himself. Both of us feeling grateful that his security was so damn tight, she was smart enough to know she couldn’t get close enough to kill him.

Diego looks uncomfortable when she brings up his parents, but his eyes widen when he hears what she found in the attic and I think everyone wants to know what she read in all those journals. Everyone just stares at her when she admits to killing Akar and that she did it by using the knowledge of her ancestors, this woman might just be the best Assassin anyone has ever known.

“I hope you were able to learn a lot before your Mother got rid of everything.” Elyse says and I see Maleah looking at Diego.

“Mother didn’t get rid of anything, I overheard a phone call she had and unfortunately for her the company she called is owned by Pauline’s Brother. Pauline is my assistant and I asked her to talk to her Brother, he moved everything into a storage unit for me.

A year later I asked you if I could use the attic as my home office and you even agreed with me to put a lock and some security on the attic. I had Pauline’s Brother move everything back into the attic and whenever I was working up there I was actually working on a new assignment.

Some of the recipes can be made in bulk and be kept for a long time, but there are a few that need to be used within a few days of making them.” Maleah says and I can hear Diego sigh in relief.

“Okay, so Akar was your first kill. When did you uhm strike again?” Dad asks and I hear her giggle at the words he uses.

“Reince was my next target when I was thirteen, about a month after our current leadership returned home from training. I took out Ernesh when I was fourteen and Akuji when I was sixteen.” She answers Dad.

“After killing Ernesh I realized that I needed a team of my own and I chose males and females that you and Dad trained, Wolves and Lycans that lived in a city or a town. They could keep a better eye on my target and they get me all the information I need.

I know that this Pack always investigates before accepting an assignment and I have used that with my own assignments, I want to make sure my clients have taken every legal step they could. My team is responsible for making the deal, I don’t meet or talk with my clients and no one has ever demanded a meeting with me. If I take an assignment my clients get told that I only have one rule, I kill when I decide to kill and they just have to be patient.” Maleah says.

We all know that those four murders were eventually ruled as a natural death, only because the Council of Elders couldn’t find anything that screamed foul play and if I understand my Angel they never would have.

“Sweetheart, if I have remembered correctly you have four gifts. Did they all come at the same time?” Diego asks and for a moment Maleah looks at her hands.

“I told you that after reading the journals I found out I have every gift an Assassin has ever been granted and I know that you are aware of at least one more gift I should have.” She says as she looks at Diego.

“The gift of hearing.” Dad whispers and I remember him telling us about that gift, but he also mentioned another gift.

So with that information I decided to dig into my Mother’s past, but she was reluctant to tell me anything about her family’s bloodline. I believe she is unaware of it or she would have used it to her advantage and with the tiny bit of information I got from her I started to form a file on her bloodline.

It took me over a year to get all the information I was looking for, but when I did I was also very surprised. The Royal Assassin possessed the gift of sense, he was the best Assassin the King had and when he went missing one day the entire Kingdom was turned upside down.

No one ever found a trace of him and no one ever heard of him again. It took the King five years to accept that his Royal Assassin was gone and there is even a tombstone for him in the Royal Graveyard.

The Royal Assassin didn’t die as everyone suspected, he just decided to disappear. The King had sent him after an Alpha that refused to turn his Daughter over to her Mate and when the Royal Assassin arrived at the Pack he found the Alpha’s Daughter.

His Lycan felt the connection to her and he decided to find out if she was indeed his Mate, which by the way she was. Her Uncle’s Pack is located the furthest away from the Royal Pack and they moved there to live out their lives together.

He is my, I don’t know how many times, Great-Grandfather. I doubt Mother is even aware of the fact that she comes from a long line of Lycans, because if she knew than how can she hate Lycans so much.” I say and everyone starts talking at once, because it makes me the Royal Assassin by birthright.

Colter asks me how I figured out the Royal Assassin was related to me, because he vanished centuries ago and even the King was unable to find him.
