The Rogue & The Rose Finally Seeing the Trees
Rose got word on what Ty found and the phone call he received from the mayor about being the town’s protector. The news that the mayor knew nothing about Ty needing to defend himself from being suspected of having done something to Jack and his wolves came as a surprise for everyone. “I don’t get it Rose. Nothing makes sense. The only way I could make sense of what I found when I examined the remains and was writing the reports, was there was no sign of wounds made from fangs or claws. Someone hacked them to pieces after they’d shot or stabbed them to death. So, it looked like humans did the damage rather than wolves.” Heather stood in Ty’s office. They’d taken a painting off the wall and were placing sticky notes on the wall in an attempt to find a logical progression in the timeline of events so that they could ensure that they covered every accusation against Ty. “Which are the humans we believe hid in the canyon before they got trapped in there.” Rose added.
The Rogue & The Rose Lost Wolf
Every wolf with Ty heard the growl, and instantly, every single head turned to the darkened portal. The growl came from within the darkness. Only a cornered animal would make such a threatening sound. But it was but one voice, one nonhuman voice. The great question now was it a shifter growl or a beast growling? Ty hoped it was Jack and they could finally have it out between the two of them. Have it done and over with? One less mess to deal with. One less thing weighing around his neck like some anchor stone that’s hanging over the side of a boat waiting for his one wrong move to pull him down into the watery depths. Ty shifted again into his wolf. He wouldn’t be caught unawares by whatever it was. Ty’s men swung their lights toward the sound and the green lights settle on a wasted she-wolf chained to the wall in the darkened room. Ty crept closer for a look. The she-wolf wasn’t in the best of care. He couldn’t believe she was alive down here in this
The Rogue & The Rose Icehouse Recovery
Ty brought the unconscious she-wolf up into the cool night air and passed her off to others so she could get immediate care. Now he needed to do something with the Icehouse. It was too far gone in too many ways to allow to stand. He knew it was a landmark for the area, but after what they found in there and the amount of rot and ruin, it would be a mercy to burn it down. Burning it was the only way to cleanse the taint from the land, and they would not save it with repairs. They’d have to give those within a chance to be identified at least, and then give them a send-off they deserved before they burned the place to the ground. He knew at some point they would place a reminder here for all of Russell’s victims. He would accept no less. Several pack members went back in to do a last search for the lowest level. No one wanted to leave anyone alive there. In the morning, he’d have wolves here to assist with removing the remains down there. Get He
The Rogue & The Rose Rose's Response
Rose waited most of the night, but she didn’t hear from Ty until early the next morning before the sun had a chance to rise. He’d found a living victim, found, and captured Jack alive, and found the remains of many of the missing wolves from around the region. Ty’s hands were full, but he finally relented and came home to sleep. He had to be carried to bed because he’d crashed sitting up in his desk chair trying to get things started. Rose’s feelings were mixed by what he’d found and Ben’s findings in one of the last storerooms told her all she needed to know. That’s where Russell kept his ill-gotten gains. Antiques taken from the house, along with antiques he’d acquired from his dirty dealings, were stored there waiting for who knows what. Maybe to be sold off or traded to pay off his debts for whatever nightmarish pursuit caught his interest. Rose was disgusted at the thought that this wolf had shared blood with her. He let his pack flounder, knowi
The Rogue & The Rose Gather the Questions
“I’ve got a message from the Ruling Council Rose. They want to know if anyone in our pack wants to face Jack and get answers to questions. Would you or Jules want to confront him?” “I know I have questions, so yes. I know I do. What about you Jules? Do you want to know anything?” “I’ll start making my list of questions. You might want to warn the Ruling Council that I’ll need time to get through all my questions.” “Right. Try to keep it under an hour. We don’t want to hold up the process of justice. They have a busy schedule.” “I can’t promise anything. My father has a lot to answer for.” “I’ll put out a call to both packs and see what the response is. I might have to get everyone to give me their questions and then we’ll record his responses to play it back later for everyone, just so that we can move things along.” Ty was talking about the preparations for Jack’s trial. The Ruling Council weren’t holding back on this beyond getting contact i
The Rogue & The Rose Heather’s Career Change
“Have you heard from Mikey?” Heather asked Jay when she returned with Ben. Jay looked at Ben with an upset expression on his face. Jay was sulking because he’d not been able to find out how it was going in town with Heather and her father. “I only know that they’re making some kind of progress, and no one’s come out of the canyon as of yet. But I’ve been stuck most of my time in and around the Icehouse. It’s going to be a nightmare to torch the place to the ground.” Jay lost some of that sullen look once he embraced Heather and could breathe in her comforting and familiar scent. He’d been missing both of his mates. Jay kept reminding himself that it was because their mating was so known. But he’d always been a needy type of bloke, as his stepfather called him in disgust. “Yeah, well, I’ll trade you my job for that. I must oversee the job of matching up the bones, so we have one skeleton person. Right now, I have boxes of miscellaneous bones that more than l
The Rogue & The Rose Chapter 98—Heather’s Situation
Heather arrived the next morning at her father’s clinic. It was hard to do, because of how many mixed signals were there. Her mother, whom she didn’t remember, rested in a bed above her father’s office. She couldn’t come to call it to their office. He’d always ensured she knew she was nothing more that the administrator, and general office help. She wasn’t sure how to react to her mother. How did one act to the stranger that gave birth to you? It was difficult enough being in a triad mating. She knew how her father felt about them, but she didn’t know how her mother did. Her mother was so fragile right now, physically, and mentally, that Heather couldn’t mention anything like this to her. She didn’t want to argue with her father in front of her. This only made things more difficult as the day went on. She’d taken on more and more of the workload as her father focused on her mother. “Dad, I think we need help here. Why can’t we let some people,
The Rogue & The Rose Cleaning Out the Canyon
Ty stood there and watched as they finally removed the last of the debris from the mound blocking the canyon entrance. Jack wouldn’t tell them anything about what happened after the explosion blocked the canyon. So, they were using drones to see what or who was there. They were using the one piece of technology that the shifter society feared probably the most after cellphones. They had to wait until after nightfall to send the drones in, otherwise they’d be shot down. When the second one in as many weeks was picked off, they knew someone hostile was on the other side. With that sent in, Mikey maneuvered the drone in with it’s night vision camera on. What greeted them was a camp with maybe three humans in it. There was no sight of any wolf shifters. Were they dead? Or hiding somewhere else? It took several hours and almost drained the battery on the drone. They needed to get in there for the humans only. Jack was the survivor of all the wolves that w
