This was a strong pack, with even stronger pack warriors. According to the headcount, there were around sixty rogues that attacked us at our pack border. Out of the forty pack warriors, actively engaged in battle, only five were wounded serious enough to get medical attention. Others are minor injuries and have already healed. The medical camp was set up outside the pack house to ensure the best medical care was given to the five wounded warriors.Agata, a mother of three, lives in a two-storeyed blue house, overlooking the hills in the southern part of the pack. She and her mate are both pack warriors and they fought together in the battle. Her oldest child, Ryanna, barely sixteen years old, made sure her two younger brothers made it to the safe house in time. She has been admitted because of a deep gash in her thigh, extending from the hip to the inside of her knee, tearing her quadricep muscle, and her artery. She would have bled out on the battleground if her husband hadn’t felt t

There was an itch inside me that I just couldn’t scratch. It had all started when the medical camp was finally wrapped up, leaving me with nothing to do. Going to school and resuming my life in a normal fashion seems wrong, somehow. The pack was attacked by a pack of rogues; it was a pretty big deal. How can things go back to normal so quickly? As I look around the pack, everyone’s lives have already started going back to normal. It’s only been a few hours since the last patient was discharged from the camp, but I feel like I need to have some new purpose now.I spring up from my bed, an idea forming in my head. This basic instinct to do something can easily be satisfied by what I have in mind. Energized by this thought, I walk out of my room and head to Noah’s room, faintly remembering his assigned lot from the couple of times I have been there. I breathe a sigh of relief when I realise that he is inside. At least, I won’t have to go around searching for him now. One thing made it ea

I had no expectations when I asked Noah to take me to the pack dungeons where I could meet the captured rogues. I had maybe hoped that meeting them could somehow help me help this pack. I had also hoped that maybe seeing the captured rogues would give me some sort of vindication over all the horrors and terribleness of the attack a few days ago. I hoped seeing them would make me feel that a kind of justice had been meted out to the perpetrators who tried to attack this pack, infiltrate its defenses, and even hurt innocent people.But what the rogue said has baffled my mind and a thousand different thoughts are racing in my head. I don’t have any idea about the hierarchy between the rogues who attacked us but assuming the captured rogues are somewhere in the middle, it would be safe to say that at least a lot of rogues were aware of who my mate is. They knew her name, and probably her history too. At least, they knew that she was once a rogue. The rogues were familiar with her, seemed

Samuel only summoned Lea to his office but Aaron didn’t raise an eyebrow when I volunteered to accompany her. I didn’t know how many people knew about Lea and I being mates but I’m guessing since Aaron didn’t stop me, he knows or Samuel must have hinted to let me come. If it had been any other situation, I wouldn’t have felt the need to be with Lea but since the issue is so sensitive, concerning the rogue attack on the pack and possibly, her father’s involvement in it.The idea hit me when I was running from the dungeons towards the pack house to talk to Lea. I didn’t believe she had anything to do with the rogue attack. I know she’s loyal and holds real regard for Samuel because he accepted her and her brother in his pack and gave them home without any prejudice. It would also be rare for a pack member to have any connections with a rogue and leak pack information for a planned attack. The only thing that made sense was for her father to be the mole. He is only an honorary pack membe

I’d thought Lea’s father was in bad shape but I hadn’t expected it to be this bad. I could see an endless number of tubes going in and out of him, several machines beeping continuously, and he was sedated with such a high dose that I was sure he wouldn’t wake up if someone set him up on fire. His face looked black and blue his whole body is mottled with bruises and it’s crystal clear that he had been brutally beaten by the rogues before being left to die at the pack border for us to find.Lea had gone ghostly white after seeing her father in that condition and I couldn’t blame her. The scene reminded me of the time Brad was stuck in the hospital during the last couple of weeks of his life, how emaciated and weak and sickly he had started to look. It took me back to the time when Mom used to worry about him leaving us behind all the time, how the twins realized that he would leave and never come back. I’m sure these thoughts must be running in Lea’s head too, and I wanted to take her a
