I thought I might throw up. Standing there, right in front of me was none other than Enzo Lamberto the king of the very race that had ruined my life. Suddenly such a storm of memories arose within me that it was an effort to even stand still and not fall on my knees.

Sharp canines tore into her skin ripping her throat out in an instance and I just stood there unable to move...I pushed those memories into the back of my mind and averted my gaze from him to Alexander.

I didn't bother to be polite as I asked, "What is he doing here?" Narrowing my eyes at Enzo.

Alexander cleared his throat to explain but before he even had the chance to utter a word Enzo spoke, "I want you to work for me."

Subtle much? I'll give him a point for that, my flame cackled.

I broke out a raspy laugh, "You honestly think that I will work for you? Well then boy, you're in for a surprise." Something in Enzo's gaze sharpened at those words but it vanished away as quickly as it came.

"Seems like you already know me so there won't be any need for introduction," he said

"There has been going on some problems in our territory and it has been rumoured that someone—a coven of witches to be more precise has broken in and I want you to help me find these people. I also need you by my side as my personal Secretary but nobody has to know about it except the people present in this room.

In return, I will be breaking this truce between your country and ours of not stepping foot inside anyone's territory and also I will be providing you with one hundred of our best vampire warriors and if a war is ever to happen I will be sending aid and do everything in my power to help you declare triumph."

I slowly processed the vamp's words and looked over to Alexander his eyes seemed to be pleading for me to say yes and not to mess things up I couldn't help but giggle. Fucking giggle.

Both eyes snapped to me, watching me as if I had grown two heads. I cleared my throat, "What will I have to do?"

The vamp smiled and said, "you will have to pretend to be my slave or pet as you mortals call it. This way nobody will doubt you and when we are with the vampires you will have to do exactly as I say and one wrong move can give you away—don't forget that you will be in the same room as vampires and don't for one moment think that they will not notice you cause they will."

I didn't hear anything after the word slave due to the roaring in my head. His lapdog. No, I couldn't do thi-

"Let's see if the words they say about you are true, assassin." I snapped my eyes to him. Was he really doubting my skills?

"And how do I know that you are not lying? What if I say no?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

In return, he smirked but this time Alexander replied, "There will be a blood oath and no, you can't disagree this is an order." His words left no room for argument and indeed there was a dagger, a bowl and two small cups placed on the table.

I was only doing this for my country and my people, cause I knew it when I beheld the vamp's eyes that if I declined this alliance there would be consequences. I might be the best assassin and a witch but I wasn't powerful enough to take on vampires neither were my people.

Alexander beckoned for me to start. I swallowed and picked the dagger up and sliced it through my palm in a horizontal line and watched the blood drip into the bowl. I passed the dagger over to Enzo and watched him do the same.

Alexander poured the blood into the two cups and handed one to me and another to Enzo and for the first time, I really looked at him. His eyes were crystal blue in colour that reminded me of oceans and seas. He had raven dark hair that was neatly swept aside. He was wearing a dark blue t-shirt that was clinging to his torso like melted chocolate and showing his hard muscles off. There were tattoos covering his arms and neck.

Enzo gave a dip of his chin and we both gulped the blood down at the same time something in Enzo's eyes darkened after drinking the blood.

I thought about it all and it suddenly clicked that Enzo's kingdom is in New York so that means I will be coming with him to New York as if reading my thoughts he replied, "Yes you will." I ignored him and looked over to Alexander.

"When will I be leaving?"

"Now." replied the vampire, "You will be leaving now, this instant. I have already arranged the flight you have an hour to pack up your things and meet me outside the house when you're done." and left without another word. immortal vampire pig.

I whirled to Alexander and glared at him, "How could you? Knowing about my past and still, you sold me off to the vampires like I am some kind of a slave."

Alexander did not seem to be fazed by my words which only resulted in making me more angry and said, "There were reasons-"

"Oh fuck your reasons." I spat at him one minute I was glaring at him and the next I was on the floor clutching my jaw. Suddenly he held me by my hair harshly and lifted me up looking into my eyes. I contemplated hitting him but I knew better than that.

"Don't you ever speak to me like that." he said, raging at me and releasing me with the last blow to my jaw. I may be the best assassin but he was the one who taught me all the things and no matter what I could never beat him.

Unless you- My flame started saying.

Shut up. Now.

I flipped him off and stomped away to my room dripping blood everywhere.

******

I slammed the door shut and quickly walked towards my mirror. There was a large pink gash which was slowly turning purple around my jaw and also I had a split lip.

Anna walked inside and said, "I heard what happened I'm sorry, let me see your face." she said and pulled out the first aid kit.

"I'm fine Anna just go and pack up my things I'm leaving in an hour," I said without looking at her

"But your fac-"

"I said to pack up my things!" I yelled and regretting it the moment I saw her flinch. She quickly scurried off.

I quickly removed my makeup with a makeup wipe hissing at the pain in my jaw. Without makeup the gash looked even worse. I applied a concealer on it and then applied lip and cheek tint.

I walked towards my closet and pulled a black sweater along with ripped jeans and removed my dress, careful not to tear it. I didn't even bother going to the changing room. I quickly donned my clothes on wincing as my hand touched my wound and grabbed my phone.

"I have done all your packing, anything else you need?" She asked without looking at me. Guilt rose up in my chest.

You should say sorry to her.

Never. I don't say sorry.

Why are you so bitchy? The flame hissed.

"Did you pack my books?" I asked.

"Yes I did." she replied and walked away. I quickly put my black boots on and walked out of the room.

I am really doing this. I am really going to be working with a vampire the same race that killed my family and- no I am not going to think about that instead, I'm going to think about things like what if he drains me dry while I am sleeping? or seduce me with his beautiful eyes and smile and then, proceed to drain me dry? Or what if I mess this alliance up? Alexander will kill me for sure.

I reached downstairs and saw that Alexander was already waiting for me I look into his eyes once and I could have swore I saw something like remorse, I rolled my eyes and walked away not bothering to say him goodbye.

Pig. Hah.

I walked outside and there was a Bugatti La Voiture Noire parked nearly identical to the one I have and beside it, Enzo was standing waiting for me, "Took you long enough I thought you wouldn't come." he said with his usual cocky smirk and opened the door for me I scowled and didn't bother to reply as I sat down.

There were two men seated at the front one with blonde hair and one with dyed blue hair. Alexander came and sat beside me and the one with blue hair turned around and gasped dramatically, "yo man is this the girl you were talking about? She's so tiny are you even sure that she is Katherine Giovanna what if Alexander has given you the wro-"

"Call me tiny again and you will find yourself with your tiny favourite part missing." I said giving him a don't-fuck-with-me smile.

The one with the blonde hair started laughing out loud and Enzo joined him shortly after leaving the blue hair one glaring at me, "Wow man, you totally got roasted." the blonde hair one said and started laughing again. I scowled at them both and slipped my phone out of my pocket and started using it.

After about fifteen minutes I realized that I only had thirty percent remaining and I had to last it until we reached the airport and I could get my power bank from my bag. I switched my mobile phone off and glanced at Enzo and caught him staring at me like I am a puzzle that he's trying to solve.
