Destinee POV.It has been a week since Titus left to go to the emergency meeting. Everyone from the elders to the Alpha heads of each pack were informed. I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss him.Running the pack has been difficult. Titus runs one of the largest packs in the States. Some members were overjoyed that I was in charge, others however, weren’t. Some wolves still think it’s ridiculous that a female Alpha is running the show, but do I care? No. This is what I was trained for, so while Titus is away, I am in charge.They learnt quickly that I won’t be disrespected or intimidated by anyone. Yes, Titus is notorious for being the literal big bad wolf, but they soon learnt that I am worse. They quickly learned that disrespecting me won’t be tolerated.Titus and I video call every night before bed, but tonight I haven’t heard from him. When I spoke to him last night, he looked exhausted. Some of the Alphas and elders are blaming Titus for the recent attack because he was sleep

Destinee POV.Running towards the Northern border, I stop in my tracks. Rogue women holding their crying babies, rogue males looking relieved yet frightened. Children clinging to their parents in fear. The very sight breaks my heart. For whatever reason, they became rogue. They are still children of Selene.Aura is sitting up in my mind, watching what is happening. I can feel her anger and heartbreak at what she is seeing.“Destinee, this is heartbreaking. Let me forward.” Aura speaks and I comply with her request.“Why are you all here?” she asks and a male and female with children step forward, cautiously, heads down and shaking in fear.“No-one will hurt you, speak.” She says, and the male looks up at her.“Were not part of the rogues who are attacking packs. Those who don’t follow Crystal and Sampson are killed. We managed to get away. We have seen things terribly things. Our desire is to live in peace, and we are different from them. Please help us.” The man drops to his knees an

Destinee POV.After Titus and Marcus got to know some of the families we all headed to the dining hall to have dinner together.I felt comfort sitting beside Titus at the Alpha’s table, but I had already been sitting here all week, even when Titus wasn’t present. The empty head table gave me an odd feeling, yet now it feels comfortable to be seated next to my mate.Looking out and around the dining hall. Hearing the laughter of the children and their parents makes me realise that even when faced with so much death and uncertainty, as they have been. The slightest bit of comfort can make them forget about what had happened. Even if only for a short time.Smiling to myself, I watch as a few rogue children run around playing; they feel safe and at home and that is what I wanted to do for them. To give them and their parents that sense of safety, most packs would have turned them all away and left them to be slaughtered.“You did good babe, look at them all. This is what Selene meant when

Destinee POV.“What do you want, Crystal?” I all but growl out and Titus jolts up in bed and moves towards me, trying to snatch the phone from my hands.I hold my hand up to stop him, and he stops. Moving the phone from my ear, I place the call on loudspeaker and grab my phone to record the call.“Well, I was hoping to speak to my lover, but I suppose you will do.” She chuckles at the end. Aura bristles in my mind and is listening to the call.“Oh, your lover is busy. In fact, I’m looking down at him right now.” I say with a small moan. I want to piss her off, so she will make a mistake and it’s working.“You whore, he is mine.” I chuckle at her words and moan louder.“Oh Titus, don’t stop. Mmm, yes. Just like that.” I say as he smirks at me, knowing what I am doing.“Destinee, I will kill you and take him back from you. I will watch as the rogues rape you, and you will watch as I fuck Titus in front of you.” She snarls out and I smirk. Stupid bitch.“What will Sampson say when he fin

Destinee POV.Darting in between trees and jumping over fallen branches, I track the smell of rogues to a clearing in the forest. I stop and mask my scent.Watching from the treeline I see them. Some rogues who attacked the packs. I knew they were close to Venom Fang, but I didn’t realise they were this close.“Titus, I’ve found the rogues.” I say and he steps forward and we both look. I look around, seeing if I can see the bitch, but she isn’t here.“There is only a handful, maybe 200. She isn’t with them. I will deal with them all now.” I say as Aura steps out of the treeline.“Aura, can you read the minds of one? I need to make sure these are the rogues who are responsible for the attacks.” I say, and she chuckles.“Of course, and if they are?” she asks, tilting her head and I smirk.“Kill them all.” I say with no emotion at all, they deserve death for what they have done.She steps forward and enters the mind of one and it’s confirmed; they are behind the attacks. Hearing a scream
