Rogue Wolf's P.O.V My wolf howled inside my mind, drowning out every other voice in the vicinity. My vision was red and I knew exactly what it meant…but I couldn't do anything. I was no longer myself. I was no longer in control. I was a rogue. I tried my best to revisit old memories; comb through the fog that clouded me in from every direction, but I couldn't move past the haze. All I could do was watch through the fog as my wolf ran through miles and miles of woods, searching…raging… I could hear the ferocious noises that came out of my mind, feel the saliva dripping from the side of my mouth…and yet, I couldn't do anything. I was a spectator inside my own body; almost like I was in a coma. Someone who could see everything, feel everything…but do nothing. Why was I in this state? Why was I suddenly a rogue? How did I get here? Did I have anyone who had caused me to become rogue? My mind was so jumbled that I had no idea what I was even s
Alex's P.O.V "Get me the tranquilizer." I shouted at the man following behind me as I held out my hand for the gun. He did so immediately, without hesitation. If the guards were right and this was really a rogue, then there would be no reasoning with it. The best option should have been to get an actual gun and shoot it through the head… But there was this nagging feeling inside my mind that I shouldn't kill it. 'Are you sure we should keep it alive?' One of the patrol guards asked via the mental link. They were currently in the clearing near the beach where the rogue had been spotted, with tattered clothes and blood all over her body. 'Positive', I replied to the guard. 'Keep the patrol unit armed with tranqs, just in case there are more of them to follow.' 'Affirmative.' It was a high risk, keeping a rogue alive, but I had to. My wolf kept telling me that I 'had' to. My wolf had never been this desperate before, especial
Alex's P.O.V "Do you have any idea what's going to happen when Alpha Charles gets back?" Freya snapped at me, pacing the now empty room like a caged tigress. "Cameron was fuming when he heard the news. I can only imagine what Alpha Charles would do when he returns." "She's my mate, Freya!" I told her now, my voice coming out harsher than I had intended. "Did you really expect me to kill her?" "No! God, no!" Freya stopped pacing to look at me wide eyed. "I didn't say you had to kill her, but neither did I say to bring her back to the pack house! And when on earth was I going to find out that we have a fucking dungeon at the basement?" "It…it's a holding cell." I told her hesitantly. "For wolves." "A fucking dungeon!" She snapped, narrowing her eyes at me. "So how about you tell me…what to do next, Alex? Because I don't have a freaking clue! And I'm on the verge of
Alex's P.O.V "Magic?" I asked her incredulously. "As in a witch?" "No." Freya shook her head immediately. "This isn't witch magic…this is different. It's faint, but it's definitely some kind of magic." "You can tell different kinds of magic?" I frowned. I didn't even know magic had sub-divisions. Freya's training must really be paying off. Not to mention she comes from a family of witches that were once a part of their council. "It's not something you notice immediately, but all supernatural creatures possess some form of magic, even wolves." She explained. "For her though, the magic of her wolf is the strongest, but there is an undertone of something else…something that is just as much a part of her as her wolf." "A hybrid." I whispered, looking back at my mate. "They're extremely rare, aren't they?" Freya asked quietly. "I've hardly ever seen a wolf pair
Rogue Wolf's P.O.V "Mom!" I called out as soon as I stepped inside the house. "I'm home!" Only eerie silence greeted me from inside the wide space. I paused, looking around at the open windows and watching the curtains blow back in the warm afternoon wind. The wind chime on one of the windows made a twinkling sound, one that I often found pleasing. But for some reason, that same sound felt ominous today…like the chimes of a knell… "Mom?" I called again. "Dad? Maze?" I called my family one by one, but that eerie silence remained. I found myself rooted to the spot, unable to move, unable to go further inside. Fear gripped my heart in a vice grip, slowly tightening its hold. My father had warned me about this day. The day we might get discovered…the day they might come for us. But I hadn't expected it to be today…I hadn't expected them to ever show up. We hid so well… "M-om? Da-d?" This time
Freya's P.O.V The woman dropped to the floor mid-jump, right after the shot reverberated inside the room. Both Alex and I turned to face the cell door, to find out who had fired the shot…to find Cameron standing with a gun in his hand, followed closely by Sarah. My heart hammered against my ribcage and I desperately wanted to run into the arms of my mate, to be surrounded by his embrace, but my head turned towards the woman instead. "Wh…what?" I swallowed hard, hoping and praying that I didn't see blood gushing out of her body. Alex had gone unnaturally still next to me and I feared that he might snap if I touched him. "She's alive." Cameron's voice was hard, angry, as he stepped inside the cell and grabbed a hold of my hand. "Get to the Alpha's chambers, Alex. We need to talk." With that, he began dragging me out of the cell and out of the dungeons…err, holding rooms. I glanced back to find Alex still standing lik
Alex's P.O.V I don't know how long I stood there, looking down at my mate's fallen form, but it wasn't until Sarah placed a hand on my shoulders that I was finally able to snap out of my trance. "You should go back up," I told her quietly, my voice sounding hoarse to my own ears. "I'll follow soon." "I'll wait, Alex." Sarah came to stand beside me. "I know just how difficult this is for you, even though I can't even begin to understand your pain." "Why did it have to be like this, Sarah?" I tried but failed to hide the tremor in my voice as I knelt down next to her and lifted my mate up carefully into a sitting position. "Why did it have to be like this?" But Sarah didn't have any answers for me as I unlodged the tranquilizer from her shoulder. Blood oozed out of the wound that had been caused by the tranq bullet hitting her at too close proximity. Placing her more comfortably so that
Alex's P.O.V "You called me, Alpha?" I bowed my head, knowing what was about to come, but still, it hurt to listen to the words that I had been dreading. "You have disappointed me, Alex." Alpha Charles's voice wasn't harsh; it was just soft and calm…like he really was disappointed in me. And that was what hurt even more. If only he yelled and got angry… "I'll resign from my duties, if that helps the pack." I kept my head lowered as I spoke. "I know I've disappointed everyone. But that rogue is my mate. I couldn't have abandoned her, Alpha, not even for the pack." "Our mates are our world; I know that more than you ever would." Alpha Charles told me now, rising from his seat to come to stand in front of me. "There is a cellar at the outskirts of the pack for this very reason. To keep prisoners or wolves who we are yet to determine if they are friends or foes. You could have taken her there." His voice w
