CHAPTER FORTY | A MURDERER ALENAI grip the dagger like my life depends on it. Technically, it does. We have a plan, an unorganized plan...but a plan anyway. I just hope that it will work. If it doesn't, then I am afraid a lot of us would be joining the moon goddess on the moon, or wherever the hell she is. I signal to the young girl, Matilda. She nods her head and signals to the others. Taking the cue, they start throwing things at the rogue's, ranging from shoes to parts of the fallen building...anything they could find is what they threw. Startled, the rogue's look towards the source and growl. They leave their post and furiously make their way towards the others. My heart is beating erratically and my palms are sweaty and shaky. I know I have to be brave and keep myself calm for the plan to work, so I take a deep calming breath and pray that I don't get killed. I stay hidden behind a table of food that was meant for the ball. Once the rogue is close enough, I lunge at h

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO | THE INVESTIGATIONNATHAN Black. All I see is black. I look to my left, and then to my right. It is still the same...black. I wish it is different. I wish we all don't have to gather here to mourn the death of our family. I can only wish, I can't do anything about it. We decided that we would be burying the dead the next day after the incident. Yesterday, I summoned the surviving pack members and offered my condolences. It was then that we agreed that it is best to bury them the next day. So here we all are, gathered in the cemetery, sending our families to the moon goddess. It is so fucking painful watching the broken heart of my subjects. I wish I could do something to help, but this situation is past my hands. I join the other wolves when they howl while facing the moon. The usual rites are performed and the burial is over. Once everything is over, I leave my position at the front to look for Lucinda, Caleb, and Ralph. We have something important to

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR | CALEB'S MATE NATHANWe all swing to action, trying to make sure the spy doesn't get away. I hastily move to the back door, blocking the exit. Lucinda moves to the front door and Caleb enters into the diner. The fool spying on us must be an unprofessional spy, or maybe the universe is just against him or her.Why would a spy stupidly announce his or her presence? We stay in our spot until a high-pitched scream is heard. Lucinda and I leave out spot and rush into the diner to see what is going on. A young chubby lady is seen, standing directly in front of Caleb.She is staring at him like she just saw a ghost, and he is gazing into her eyes like he just saw a chest full of gold. Wow! Caleb just found his mate. And she is a rogue who was spying on us. We are all still, silently staring at them, wondering what the hell is going to happen now. Caleb seems to be in a trance and just kept staring at her. I look at Lucinda, and she has a really confused expressi

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX | THE ROGUE KINGNATHAN “I don't know who he is." How the fuck doesn't she know who the hell her King is. I mean, she is a rogue right? Which means the rogue king is her King. “Are you fucking with us?" Lucinda asks, looking suspicious of Cara. Finally, someone has noticed that she is pretending. “No, of course not. Why would you think that." She answers meekly. “You said the rogue has a king, but you don't know who the king is, and you are a rogue. That sounds very suspicious to me." Caleb grumbles. Finally, the veil in his eyes has been removed. “I know it sounds like I am lying, but I swear that I am not." “How do you expect us to believe you when you can't explain yourself properly." I impatiently ask. We don't have time for the games she is playing. It is likely that she won't tell us the truth. I think that the best thing to do is to torture the truth out of her mouth. “I know it is hard to believe that I am telling the truth, but you have to." Luc

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT | FLABBERGASTEDNATHANDoctor Alex's statements shock me beyond words. I lower my phone and double-check the number, making sure I am talking to the right person. The contact shows that I am truly talking to Doctor Alex. “Are you sure you have the right number?" I ask. “Of course." My brain still doesn't digest the crazy news I am hearing right now. I feel like I flushed my brain down the fucking toilet. I can hear the shit Doctor Alex is saying, but can't seem to understand it. “Miss Alena must have hit her head against something. She does not recognize her surroundings. She began panicking when she woke up and we had to force her to take sedatives to calm down." I try speaking, but I am unable to. Seems like my brain isn't the only thing that isn't working. “Are you sure you are talking to the right person?" I respond, not quite believing his words.“Yes, I am one hundred percent sure." I am shocked beyond words. In my entire existence, I have never h
