I have always known that these two were trouble, but reading through the file on three of their victims, I now know that the world doesn’t know the full extent of their crimes. I am going to make sure they pay for what they have done. That it also solves a personal problem is a huge plus, and I start to think about where to start–how to get this assignment done as soon as possible.

I need to plan this carefully. I don’t want to push either one of them into hiding, and as I read about the Council’s way of handling this matter, I get a feeling that someone is covering for them. Fortune and I have had a suspicion for ages that someone in the Council is responsible for the cases that get thrown out for various reasons. If this assignment can lead me to the right Council Elder, I will not hesitate to bring him down.

A message comes in from Pauline: both designers will meet with me in the morning. I send her a message back in which I explain that we need to plan my new assignment carefully. I need to know the next time either one of them is staying in a public place, and if I can provide myself with an alibi if I ever need it- something I learned years before I took my first real assignment.

Luckily, my work always provides me with an alibi. Carrying out my assignments while I make public appearances has made sure no one ever suspected me. No one has ever questioned me during all these years. I doubt anyone will be able to make the link, and I know that I am grateful for all the gifts I have gotten–each of them helping me to carry out the task at hand.

I know I need to make sure that this plan is even more waterproof because I know that if someone uses their brain, they will figure out the identity of the Angel of Death. Two names in particular jump to mind, and I am surprised that one of them hasn’t asked questions yet–after all, he knows me better than anyone alive. I am trying to figure out if he might suspect something–after all, I am my Father’s daughter.

Growing up, I always had an interest in any murder case that ended up in the news, always wondering if my Father might have something to do with it or if this one was not related to our Pack at all. Dad always made sure that I didn’t hear too much about what he did for a living. I doubt Mother would have kept it from me, as she would use anything she could to turn me against my Father.

That train of thought brings me back to my Mother and Alpha Bradley. I wonder if he took her as a Mate because of me, and if he did, then what is he expecting to gain out of it. My Mother isn’t the nicest person to live with, and I doubt she will change for the likes of Alpha Bradley–even though I understand that as an Alpha, he can make her do whatever he wants.

Because I doubt there is a Mate–bond between them, I know she will have to comply with him if he gives her an Alpha order. A true Mate–bond would be the only thing that could stop him from using an Alpha order on my Mother, and with everything I know about Alpha Bradley, there is a very slim chance that he would take a Mate with a true Mate–bond.

The Mate–bond has always been something that held my interest. Our Wolves or our Lycans can feel a connection to another Wolf or Lycan, and from there a true Mate–bond can be formed. It will take a few days for the Mate–bond to form after a Wolf or a Lycan has felt the connection, but once that bond starts to form, it is nearly impossible to ignore it. Throughout history, there have only been a handful of Wolves and Lycans that were able to resist it.

It is very different from the old days when, on a Full Moon, a Wolf or a Lycan could find their fated Mate. I am not sure which way I would prefer to find my Mate. Both situations have their ups and their downs. I believe that finding your Mate on a Full Moon makes it difficult for both parties to determine whether they want this Mate–bond or not, and that has everything to do with the fact that in the old days.

Nowadays, you can get to know the Human half before you make that decision, and if a Wolf or a Lycan agrees with their Human half, it is easier to ignore the forming of the bond. That usually happens when the Human half or both halves are known for abuse or sleeping around. There isn’t a female or a male that wants a Mate that doesn’t cherish the Mate–bond or a Mate that has no respect for another living being.
