Chapter 29

Hey guys, I forgot about Luna, their first daughter. She's 24 now, and she's in college, so I needed to bring her into this. Someone mentioned her in the comments. Like I said, I'm bringing her in with a friend from her school, so please bear with me, okay? Thanks, guys.

Luna, Isaiah, and Ava's first daughter.

I was off at college trying to earn my teaching degree. I had only a year left, but I missed my life back home. I'd missed the excitement of going on collections and kicking people's asses. Mom called me and told me that Kayla would be shifting soon, so I wanted to be there for her. I was going to take a leave and head back home. A week later, she called me and told me I was going to be a big sister again. I was more excited about this as I felt like I was missing out on things at home. When I turned 18 and shifted for the first time, I found my mate, but he rejected me because he said he couldn’t keep up with my family. He claimed we were too dangerous, but in reality, he was just too weak to keep up. Dad even took him on one of his collections, where he almost got himself killed. That’s when he rejected me. I accepted the rejection, and we parted on good terms. I wished him luck in finding his second chance, mate. On the other hand, I have been looking, but I haven’t found my second chance yet. I'm okay with that. I had my studies. I became friends with this other girl, Renee. It turns out she was a wolf just like me. She had hidden her scent from me because she didn’t want anyone to know she was a wolf. Once we realized we were the only two werewolves in a human college, she was fine letting me know. We even roomed together since her human roommate decided she wanted to drop out and head back home. For weeks, I felt like something was wrong. So I called my dad, and he told me they were heading up to see a lycan king who needed their help. I felt very uneasy and told him to inform this so-called lycan king that I would be there soon with a friend. I wasn’t going to leave her behind. After the end of class, I told Renee to pack a few bags. We were leaving to meet this lycan king that my dad and family went to see. She nodded, packed a few bags, and off we went. I put the address in the GPS, and we will be there in four days. That's too long, but we will get there. I called dad to let him know how long it would take us to get there.

“It's okay; just get here when you can.”

“I'm bringing Renne. She's a wolf like us. I didn't want her staying in a human school on her own.”

“That's fine. Just be safe. Carry your guns just in case. You know how to shoot.”

“Yes, Dad, I remember.” We got off the phone because Dad said they were going inside a dungeon. Before I could ask him what he meant by that, he hung up the phone. I did not like this at all. We got into the car, set the GPS, and then sped off.

“Girl, slow down. You don't want to kill anyone while we are heading there.” I wanted to laugh because I even scared myself a little. If someone touches my sister or my parents, I'm going to kill every single one of them, and I don't care if you are the king of Hong Kong; I'm going to rip your head off.

Rogue Kavin POV

I couldn't believe this girl broke my bones. I could say everything that had broken, but there were too many bones to name. She held the needle to my neck. I could smell the wolfsbane and silver, but there was something else in there that I smelled, something that would kill me when the liquid was injected into my neck. I smelled this before, but I couldn't remember the name. This girl was a beautiful badass, and I liked her. My boss has been wrong since day one; some women are badasses, not all are good just for one thing. We have been trying to find women to do our bidding, to break them, do what we want with them, and then kill them off. But this one, I was actually scared of. I looked into her eyes and saw two things, hatred and a lycan. I also saw a glimpse of something else, but I couldn't tell what it was. Maybe she was a hybrid, part witch as well. The boss would love her, but if I don't get out of here, he won't get what he wants. He’s looking for a powerful female to breed with, to breed dangerous lycans to kill the king. But what he doesn't think about is that it takes six months to have a pup, and then it takes another sixteen years to have them grown and trained. So, I don't see how he can have dangerous lycans to kill the king. But I better say something before this girl injects that substance into my skin.

"No, no, please don't do this. We are ordered to destroy the land and kill anyone that stands in our way. We are looking for a strong female so she can be the breeder of our boss. He's wanting to breed strong lycans so they can destroy the king. What the heck did I just reveal about the boss's plan? I heard yelling from the other guys. I was in some deep trouble now. I knew the boss already knew what I did. It was just a matter of time until I'm dead anyway.

"YOU DUMB SON OF A B*TCH! YOU KNOW THE BOSS SAID TO KEEP YOUR FREAKING MOUTH SHUT. LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE NOW!" I yelled back at them because if I didn't, they would realize I was about to give up. I would rather be dead before the boss gets hold of me. At least the injection would be fast and painless.

"SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU! REMEMBER, DO NOT SAY A WORD TO THESE GUYS. THE BOSS WILL KILL YOU!" They knew what I was about to do, and I did it swiftly. I jerked my head so the needle would go into my neck. The liquid was injected swiftly. I felt it coursing through my bloodstream, screaming in pain as it made my whole body shake. Then, I started foaming at the mouth. All I could see was black dots, then I blacked out.

Kayla's POV

I was standing there with the needle at this rogue's neck. His friends started yelling at him, and then he yelled back. We weren't prepared for what happened next. He jerked his neck to the side, making the needle poke inside his neck. The liquid started going inside his body. He started convulsing. I watched as he began foaming at the mouth, and then he was out. I felt his neck; he was barely alive.

"Dad, what should we do?" He shrugged his shoulders. I felt like I already knew what he was going to say. This was the bad guy. Let him die. I knew. But he started groaning as if in pain. Then his head snapped up, his eyes wide, as if high on a drug. He started screaming, snatching at the chains, wanting to get up. "F*ck this. This is just too crazy." Pulling out the gun I had hidden in my back pocket, I aimed at his head. I shot a hole right in his forehead. He jerked back, and then he was gone. The guards walked over, trying not to step in the blood.

"Get this rogue out of here. Throw him in the middle of the woods. It's a warning to the rest: 'F*ck with the king, you die.'" They nodded at me, then looked up at the guy they called the king. He nodded as well. They put a bag over his head so the blood wouldn’t drain on their clothes. They dragged the body out of the dungeon. His friends started screaming at us.

"The boss will kill all of you! He knows what you did and he is going to come and kill you, you f*cking b*tch!" I'd had enough of these sons of b*tches. They kept calling me a b*tch, so I didn't kill them. But I shot the three guys in the kneecaps. The last one tried to dodge the bullets but got shot in the foot and left leg. He went down hard as the others screamed.

"Yeah, you're not so loud now, are you a**holes? The bullets are made of silver, so your bodies should start burning right about now. Your skin will feel like bugs are crawling on you, your vision will start going blurry." I knew I was full of shit. The silver would just start burning their bodies, and they would heal slowly. But I learned that once you tell them what's going to happen to them and what they will start feeling, they will start thinking that it's going to happen. I find it funny when they start screaming in pain and then try to scratch to make the bugs stop crawling on their bodies. They will heal in a day or two, but their minds will never be the same. We walked out of the dungeon, and all I wanted was to take a shower to get the smell of the dungeon off of me. When we walked back into the castle, I went to my room, but I didn't know Lucas was walking behind me. Before I could touch the doorknob to my room, he touched my arm. I turned; I was about to punch someone in the face. I'm not used to someone following me. When I realized who it was, I was still on my guard. I moved backward, my back hitting the door.

"Can I help you with something? Do you want me to move my things down to the third floor with my parents?" I heard him chuckle; he had a cute chuckle. I tried to see what kind of tattoo he had on his neck, but all I could see was a photo of a wolf, that's about it.

"No, I don't want you to move to the third floor. I just wanted to tell you how cool it was, how you handled things down there. I've never seen a female shoot anyone in the head like that. Your mate is a lucky guy." It was my turn to softly laugh. I thought to myself, "Mate? We don't have a mate, and I'm sure he will reject me once he learns what family I am from."

"I do not have a mate, and I'm sure when he finds me, he will reject me right away once he finds out what family I am from. I'm not changing for anyone; this is my family. He will take me as I am, or he can step away. I won't beg someone to be with me; either he will or he won't. No big deal for me." He nodded at me with a big smile on his face. I wondered why he was still standing there, so eager to talk to me. Did he know something I didn't? What's going on? If he tries anything with me, I'm going to kick him where it will hurt the most—his balls. I was looking into his sexy green eyes; I could just get lost in them. I had to shake this off quickly.

"If you'll excuse me, I'm going into my room now. I need a shower to get the smell of that dungeon off of me." I quickly opened the door and closed it behind me. I stood there, waiting to hear his footsteps walking away. When I heard him walk away, I hurried to the shower, washed, dried off, and then put on my hoodie and sweatpants. I loved sleeping in these.

Lucas's POV

When we were in the dungeon, I couldn't help but watch my mate. Even though I didn't want this female, I couldn't help but be drawn to her. I watched everything she did. It amazed me how she took that hammer, breaking the rogue's kneecaps, and how she grabbed his fingers, breaking them one at a time. The man was in so much pain. I thought he would go insane, and then I would have to put him in the hanging cage. When the man simply jerked his head, the needle went right into his neck. We thought he died. But he woke up screaming and twitching, wanting to get free. She pulled out a gun, shooting him right in the head. She told the guards to take the body in the middle of the woods, so the others would know not to mess with me. Then, the others started screaming at her. She ended up shooting them with silver-coated bullets but made them think things. It was funny because they began to scratch, wanting the bugs off of them. I knew they would heal, but it would be a few days before that happened. I followed her to her room once when we got back to the castle. I wanted to see if she knew we were mates. If she didn't, then I was in the clear. I wasn't ready for a mate right now. I had too much to do, and I wanted to make sure I was strong enough. I wanted this all done before I accepted her as my mate. I didn't want to be working on this and not be able to spend any time with her. When I found out that she had no clue that we were mates, I was in the clear. I didn’t have to worry about spending time with her when I have work to do. I need to know who has been taking money from the files. Once I figure that out, then I can give punishment. We already found out why the rogues keep coming and killing. They are looking for a strong breeder. Now, all we have to do is keep the women inside and make sure they are safe. Some are strong warriors; they can take care of themselves. But the others need to be careful. I need to start training them so they can grow strong. I'll have a meeting in a few days, but right now, I need to figure out who's stealing from my kingdom.
