Night of the Rogues: Trapped with the Enemy 43. Declan
Howen’s lost his mind. There’s no other way to describe it. He’s gone and shot at us all Attacked his own so-called allies at the same time. I’ve definitely been hit about ten times, breathing inwards is fucking agony. how he's missed my head I dont know but all down one side of my body is peppered with pinpoint pain. Hearing that shrill little bitch encouraging him is a bitter pill to swallow. How easily her words encourage him to fire upon the men he has known since a teen.We had been fighting. Man to man, scrapping and punching, refusing to yield. I knew Reu had my back. That pistol kept back the meatheads like Fabian who might try to sneak a low blow. It was impossible to see who was betraying who in the dimly lit corridor. A melee of fists, punches and snarling as some brown wolves appeared out of nowhere.My jaw took a pounding from Howen’s huge fists. All the lessons Reu and I gave Howen out in the woods over the years. Tactics he was now using against me. He had a crazed ene
Night of the Rogues: Trapped with the Enemy 44. Lyra
Elvie was right. The fear in Corina’s eyes as she saw us come around the corner was an undeniable rush. We strode out completely naked, heads high, our wolves pushing and urging us to shift. Corina stood there with her mouth dropping open, knowing full well she was caught. “Corina,” Elvie scowled as she backed against the wall. She looked past us, as if help was coming to rescue her. It wasn’t. It was just us three. “I’m not part of this! Howen’s gone mad! He’s just shot everyone, all of them!” “He wouldn’t do that without you agreeing to it,” I replied in a low, flat voice. Knowing the machine gun fire Elvie and I heard had been aimed towards Declan left me feeling woozy. My heart ached just under my ribcage for him. He had to be alive because I am certain that part of me would just crumble and die if he were to leave this earth. She could still be lying. She will say anything to get out trouble. “I’m telling you!” Corina screeched desperately. “I wanted a fist fight but I would
Night of the Rogues: Trapped with the Enemy 45. Lyra
Accompanied by the clanging of door locks and the rumble of the boilers, Reu arrived with the shy, stocky Samir to carry Declan back to his room. Everyone else was locked down in their dorms.I knew other Rogues had been shot and injured but selfishly I only cared about one man. Even so, in the midst of my panic about his dazed state I managed to notice Reu taking another lingering stare at Elvie’s naked body. He must not have taken a full dose of the Monks Pepper because the hunger in his eyes was clear. Even as he struggled with the weight of the passed-out Declan in his shoulders he was diverted. Until he realised I was observing.“Back to your rooms,” he grunted roughly at us both. Samir grabbed Declan's legs to help Reu share the weight. Elvie was eager to fill Mara in on the drama. She explained how she tied up Corina with devilish zeal whilst Mara dried her hair."She's in with Ronan now! Not the same cell which is a shame but still, she's no Luna now!"Mara smiled, she wasn'
Night of the Rogues: Trapped with the Enemy 46. Declan
It took a few days longer to recover than I anticipated. I ended up being laid on my side in the bare Black Hall having three of the bullets in my side extracted by a fiendish Elvie. The wounds had become irritated and swollen. She ruthlessly retrieved shards with a huge pair of metal tweezers. Arlen held me by the shoulders, his own ribs freshly bandaged. His companion Sol, a bald, incredibly nervous man placed all his weight on my hips to stop me jerking as Elvie mercilessly rooted around for shards.Unphased by the blood and gore, instead Elvie clapped her hands together and smiled, “got it! Woo!” Reu was nowhere to be seen. It hadn’t escaped my notice how he had admired Elvie. They had attended meetings together but I realised he often sat where she was out his eyeline. The meetings had been suspended due the lockdown right now, unable to test my theory.The half dozen rogues who had remained loyal patrol the silent corridors. There is no activity other than basic boiler maint
Night of the Rogues: Trapped with the Enemy 47. Lyra
The tension in our room was increasing. It should have been more relaxed, fewer jobs to do, more time to simply hang out in our room. It did the opposite. Without menial tasks oto occupy our thoughts everyone soon starts thinking of everything else.Mainly about how hungry we are. Wondering how Declan is doing. It’s been two weeks since I sprinted away from him in the corridor. We heard Willa gained a black eye after a bust up with her roommate. Male servants were getting into scrappy fist fights. The half-dozen rogues trusted to patrol were being called into action fairly frequently now.It’s because a few days ago rations dropped down to one meal. Some mashed up vegetables, whatever scraps of meat are still about, and a huge pile of rice. It fills the plate, but it's just not enough calories. My stomach growls constantly, as does Mara’s. Elvie is starting to slim down, too. It is inevitable. Her long silvery hair hangs lanker, all of our faces paler, more sickly. The three of us la
Night of the Rogues: Trapped with the Enemy 48. Lyra
Reu quickly let go of my shoulders and took a step backwards. “Nothing. Nothing is going on,” his blue eyes staring daggers at me. "Reu? Everything okay?” “Yeah, I said you were prepping the safes and you didn’t want anyone going in.” Declan stood between us, a tight long sleeved cotton top clinging to every muscle as his hands rested on his hips. These big Rogues needed to eat, if i thought my stomach was hurting, these guys must be in agony. No wonder fights were breaking out. “We’ll talk later,” Declan growled towards Reu. He gave Declan a hard, unimpressed glare before finally stalking off down the corridor. It didn't escsape my notice that his fists were clenched as he left. Beckoning me towards him, Declan asked, “Everything okay?” I nodded and followed him back into the Valdis suite. I gasped in surprise at how much the space had changed. Everything that could be shattered in an explosion had been removed. All the heavy wooden bookcases, meeting table, the desk, the books
Night of the Rogues: Trapped with the Enemy 49. Declan
I fly out of the room slamming the door behind me. Every sentence slammed against my chest. To understand that even from our very first encounter she has deceived me. She has been taking food from right under everyone's nose to feed a stowaway, some random thief! If I pass anybody in the corridor on my way I don’t notice, there is nothing but heat and anger, blurring the edges of my vision. I’ve been made a complete and utter fool.I stand outside the door and stare at it. It isn’t even locked! The door is unlatched, so she has been giving this guy free rein to wander the corridors at night or something? Have they been meeting up secretly? Without even realising I’m sniffing the air, as if I could tell when Lyra was last here. There is nothing. Four and a half months!I pace back and forth, trying to calm down, trying to think about how to handle this like an Alpha and not as a man who just had his world shit upon. My wolf winces in pain, nudging consoling thoughts towards the front
Night of the Rogues: Trapped with the Enemy 50. Lyra
I jumped out of my skin at a bang somewhere outside. The silken sheets still slippery and peculiar to the touch. Had fighting broken out again, was that the sound of Declan killing Viktor? I sat Corinas silken bed with my legs curled up around me. Even if I wanted to go outside and find him, I was locked in here. Surrounded by nothing but memories. i started calculating the accumulated months of my life I had spent cleaning this velvet, fur, and silk-trimmed den for Corina. I knew every inch of this room. Running a hand through my hair, I tried to pull myself together. I could still smell Declan’s heady sandalwood on my purple dress and skin. My body still ached from being consumed by him. I should shower but then I'd lose that dark sandalwood that was so unique to him.. “Shit I’m in such a mess,” I whispered to nobody. The tears had stopped, but I was utterly exhausted. I flopped back onto the silken sheets and stared upwards. No wonder Corina slept soundly every single night. Thi
