The Rogue PackUnknown POV"I said, pretend to hurt me, not try to kill me," the lady in a hoodie dress spoke, as she stood before Kael, the leader of the rogue Pack.The one who had intended to kidnap Alexa."I'm talking to you," Vivian added, revealing her face from the hood."Three. That's how many men we lost last night, because of you and that stupid old man's plans..." he retorted, his hands fisted, as he threw daggers with his eyes on her."You are the stupid one here, Kael," she seethed, "I should have known you were incompetent, but Dexter assured you had done a great job," she huffed."So much accolades, that your dolt self doesn't deserve... Tell me, what's so hard about making me look hurt, and running away...? Instead you stayed back and decided to show yourself," Vivian, shouted, her voice resounding."Watch your mouth you bitch..." Kael, who had been trying to remain composed, said."You should be grateful I did not rat you both out the other time... I thought you were
HectorThe Witch's Lair"You came sooner than expected," her voice echoed in the hall, though I couldn't see her."Yeah..." I replied."So, I sat down and thought to myself, it is high time I visited my witch friend, don't you think so?"Her laughter rang out, and then she appeared. "Sarcastic," she flatly said."Take a seat," she gestured to a seat opposite from her, and I did, holding my dagger close."So, what do you have for me?" she chimed in.The gift of death... I threatened to say, but I gulped down my words."Nothing you would like," I replied, masking my true intentions with a fake smile."I know why you're here..." Selene spoke as she looked unblinkingly at me.Well, who was I kidding... She must have read my mind; after all, she was a witch."Oh, really?" I asked, acting oblivious to what she was saying."Yes," she said with a smile, then threw a blade at my side. It slightly missed, but it cut through my skin lightly."Ouch, you missed," she grumbled, as if I were some ch
AlexaNot in my wildest dreams have I ever imagined Kendell would raise his voice at me.Especially not in a circumstance like this. I was carrying his pups and was about to be nabbed some hours back... But it's fine. It was my fault for expecting any emotions from the beast.I stood up, after recovering from my shock, and walked out of his room, not without banging it behind me.I walked into the room Vivian was in... I was glad another nurse was here, and her wounds had stopped bleeding already. The nurse who was attending to Vivian— I noticed something strange about her. Her hands were terribly greasy.She quickly took up the bowl of water, which now looked like a little blood. "She's stable now, Your Highness," she said as she left, not waiting for me to say anything.Sighs..."You are back already?" Vivian asked, as she tried to sit up on the bed.I held her back. "Don't stress yourself too much, Vi... As to why I'm back so quickly—he didn't buy it this time... Vi, is there not
Kendell"Nooooooo!" his voice came out sharply.I was still surprised he could speak after that.He sent his fists repeatedly to the ground, not minding the blood that gushed out of them.With tears in his eyes and voice cracking, "They were my family," he spoke, as he collapsed into a much deeper tear bath."You should think about that first, before replying to my questions... Now cut the crâp and start talking."He rose to his feet, fire in his eyes. If there was one thing I knew about rogues, it was that they treated themselves as family—besides, only they accepted themselves after being outcast."I'm done with this stupid shît," he spoke. "We were told that if anything goes wrong, we should pin it on the Bright Claw Pack. And also, to tell you the truth, we don't know who is behind all this...""Like a distraction," the words came out of my lips, too sure of it.I knew Norman so well. He wouldn't have done that. And when it dawned on me this rogue was trying to play smart, I had t
KendellIt was evening, and I noticed Alexa wasn't back yet. She was testing my patience. Or had she suddenly met with Hector again? Did they go on a shopping spree, or had Vivian done something bad to her...?My breath fell heavily on my skin. I knew it—a conniving bitch like her wasn't to be trusted...I grabbed the first attire I saw, heading towards my door, moving out with a few guards with me. "Goddess, so help her if as much as a strand of hair gets missing on Alexa's head—she will pay for it..."We had just mounted our horses when I heard a few commotion sounds as the guards I had sent with Alexa returned—one of them carrying someone who was bleeding non-stop. I rushed to see them and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw it was Vivian."Where is Alexa?" I wanted to ask, when I saw her pushing her way through the crowd following after Vivian."Alexa, are you okay?" I grabbed hold of her hand. I could feel her heart beating frantically
AlexaThe leader’s voice still echoed in my head. "Where is the Luna?" Who were they, and what did they want with me?I turned and beheld Vivian's pained face. She had come in the way, taking the arrow for me, and now she was bleeding on her side."Vivian," I turned her to my side. Contemplating taking the arrow out or not."Are you all deaf?" he spoke. "Who is the Luna?" he asked again.We were barely hidden by the side, so he couldn’t quite see us, just the eyes of his subordinates searching around.I quickly lowered my face before the eyes of one of them could meet mine.Their leader was hefty, and the aura of danger overshadowed them. They looked strange, tough, with scar marks all over their faces. The leader especially.Vivian was still gasping, choking for breath, some of her wounds worse than others. "Vivian, please stay with me," I mumbled, slapping her face lightly, trying to keep her in this world. She was starting t
