Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Rogue Kings I: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

I peeled my eyes open as the sun streamed through my windows. Last night I hadn’t closed my curtains so now the sun shined right though onto my bed. Stretching, my muscles felt like they had been wound too tight. The whole of my body cracked from neck to knees as well. We definitely did too much yesterday. Not to mention if the sun was coming through the window, we definitely missed morning training. Luckily, we weren’t doing anything new so the boys could handle it. If not, one day off wouldn’t be the worst thing.No, the worst thing was most likely waiting for me down stairs. Silas had been absolutely livid last night and I’d hoped some sleep would have made him less mad but it was hard to tell with him. He could hold a fucking grudge like no one I had ever met. So I wasn’t about to put it past him to be even more mad this morning. Getting up, I threw on some sweats and a shirt before quietly exiting my room. If Silas was in his office already, I might be able to have breakfast with

*** Solaris POV ***My eyes narrowed as I looked at the slight movement in the corner of my eyes. It scurried along the floor and just as it went to run by me, I stepped on it. The crunch was loud but set down the crate I was carrying to inspect the now dead insect. It was a cockroach, full grown. Not only was it not the season for them but Finn and I went to great lengths to make sure this place was bug free. It was one of Noah’s greatest fears and really his only one. Cockroaches were on the top of that list next to spiders and centipedes.Scanning the hallway, I didn’t find another but when I opened up the door to our cellar, I could hear them. I leaned back and yelled across the bar.“Finn, we got a problem.”A few moments later, he poked his head out from the stairs. “A problem? You okay?”I chuckled. “I’m fine. But Noah won’t be. Can you pull up the feed for the last few days? I need to run through it.”“Um…sure. Did you want Noah…?”“Nope. Leave him out of it. Unless you want

“We thank you this evening for witnessing our silliness! If anyone would like their own shot of Monte Alban Mezcal, it’s on the house tonight!” Finn yelled as someone started up the music in the corner and started the Friday night swing early. Quite a few more people showed up and soon enough the place was packed. Finn and I manned the bar as Noah lost it after five minutes. The tequila hit and his eyes glazed over. His shirt at some point had become a crop top as he joined the dancing group, going so far as climbing up on a table. Then promptly falling off it after a bunch of people put cash in the top of his jeans. I laughed so hard at his antics and even Charles stayed later than normal to enjoy the show. “You guys are going to have so much against him.”I handed Charles another beer and pointed up to the two camera in the room. “Damn right we will. Show the kids one day.”Charles snorted and shook his head. He finished his beer and motioned me to close him out. I did and tapped

'Silas…''Shut up, Eros. I don’t want to hear it.'He growled. 'Maybe you need to. He’s right and you blowing up at him only proves it.''I said I don’t want to hear it. From you or from him. Or anyone else who wants to put their two cents in my damn business.'Eros swished his tail. 'I think you need to go down and apologize to those three.'Growling, I shoved him back. 'There was no damn way I am apologizing to rogues. I did what I had to do. I will continue to do what is necessary to protect my pack. We will not have a repeat of what happened to my sister. If it means I need to get my hands dirty, then I will.'I tapped my desk as I read over the paperwork delivered yesterday that I had fallen asleep on. Charles had stopped taking my calls and this proved why. The police were provided enough proof that the bar was clean and no minors had snuck in. Slamming the paper on the table, I growled. Nate bringing back three kids who tried to sneak in gave me the idea but the fact that they

I stumbled out the front door and took out a cigarette, but patted my pants. Wrinkling my nose, I turned to go inside when a lighter appeared in front of me. Looking over, Solaris was leaning against the building, a clove cigarette in her other hand. Reaching out, I took it and lit the end before handing it back to her.“Thanks.”She chuckled. “No problem, Alpha.”“Silas.”Her head cocked to the side.“You’re not part of my pack. It’s Silas out here.”Rolling her eyes, she took a drag. “You need a ride home, Silas? Your Beta and Charles left an hour ago.”“I’ll probably stay in town. Ubers don’t like going up into the territory.”She laughed. “Considering the ones that work now are mostly vampires, I’m not surprised. I can give you lift if you can handle the back of a motorcycle.”My eyes narrowed. “Why would you…”“Maybe I just want you off my property, Alpha.”“Si-las. S-i-l-a-s.” Somewhere in spelling my name, the drunkin-ness got to me and I slurred the last three letters of my na
