I didn’t know if I could go through another round of their type of punishment. Then, without warning he rose to his feet, his hands stretched towards me in a seemingly non-threatening manner. “I’m not here to hurt you Riven.” He said slowly, as though he was coaxing a child into behaving. “I’m here to talk, The Alpha wants to know more about you and the other rogue.” “My mother.” I muttered before even realising that I was speaking, my voice low and harsh. “What?” He frowned, tilting his head to the side.

Ragnar offers a hand, looking at me earnestly. My eyes dart behind him, at the open doorway. His silver scythe gleams, resting against the doorframe. I know just how fast he could move. He's not really offering me a deal. I realize. I need to buy time, get to Xander and explain to him. For that, I need to be alive. Ragnar smirks like he can read my mind. "Fine," I say finally. I take his hand, knowing that I just make a deal with the devil.

His fur was dripping wet from the pond I had been about to jump into, and the excitement of my escape vanished when his heavy paw pressed down onto the center of my back, his claws digging into my skin. I groaned from the impact, my ribs protesting as I tried to wiggle free and failed due to the enormous wolf holding me down. A combination of fear and a thrilling kind of excitement that I didn’t quite recognize filled me as he released a low, threatening growl and goosebumps rose along my skin. We rarely had rogues this close to the border, but this was no ordinary rogue. From my brief glimpse of him, I knew I was in trouble before he had collided with me. He was twice the size of any ordina

It might not be necessary to shift, and it will be much easier to fight if I’m not wearing a dress. As soon as I’m dressed, I step outside and immediately hear a snarl. I turn to the left and there is a brown rogue wolf stalking towards me. You can always identify the rogues because they look mangey and deranged, like a dog who’s been abused and beaten. His fur is filthy, with a few patches missing, and he smells like vulture vomit. The combination of death and decay mixed with the burning, acidic scent of vomit is the worst possible combination.

The rest will listen to reason. "Cutting off the head of the snake." Stralath rolled back his chair and smirked. "Or fish? The head of the fish?" "I don't like your attitude." Vigtor looked pissed. "How dare you threaten me." Stralath shrugged. "We'd offer money, but cash won't work on a water planet." Darghelm laughed. "We don't use money here either." "Really?" Stralath smiled. "So do the fisheri people know about your Norvegius slush fund? The eight billion dollars sitting in the bank?"

She’d taken them down so expertly that I wondered how she got into the situation in the first place, how they’d managed to ambush her. I thought about stories I’d heard about rogues. There were known to wreak havoc among packs. If she was a typical rogue then I could see how that would be. No wonder pack leaders usually hated them. So much so that if an alpha or luna crossed paths with one, their first instinct would be to kill. I thought about what this meant for my mate, and how my mother would take it. Would my mother try to kill my mate? Of course, I couldn’t let anything happen to her.

Underneath the binder lay a leather-bound book. ‎ ‎The Black Ledger. ‎ ‎I opened it. ‎ ‎It was a list. Hundreds of names. Dates. Prices. ‎ ‎Sarah (Rogue) - Harvested (Failed). Titus's Mate - Holding Cell 4. Rogue Child 104 - Deceased. ‎ ‎It went on for pages. Magnus had been kidnapping Rogues for years, using them to perfect the extraction process before trying it on me. He was running a factory of death. ‎ ‎This was the smoking gun. This was the evidence that would hang Julius and Magnus for treason against the Covenant.

The Aethel-7 Rig let out a sound like a dying god—a deep, metallic groan that vibrated through the soles of Leo’s boots. The self-destruct wasn't a fireball; it was a structural liquefaction. The Anonymous were using high-frequency vibrations to turn the rig’s steel supports into the consistency of wet sand. "Move! Now!" Isabella shouted, grabbing a semi-conscious Meilin and throwing her over her shoulder. Leo stumbled, his head still reeling from the library of ink. "Isabella, the shadows... they’re moving."
