Chapter 5 – The Moon Wolf

“I’m so sorry man. Actually, I mindlinked you to tell you we found a rogue on pack lands earlier today. Dylan told the men to take her to the dungeon, we were waiting for you to come back to decide what to do with her”, Nathan said through the mindlink.

“Rogue? A female rogue? We haven’t had any rogue attack since forever. What were the patrol wolves doing when she came into the pack lands? Did she hurt anyb*dy? And why is she still alive, Nathan?”, I said with anger.

We haven’t had rogue attack for 8 years now, the last one took something precious from me and I hate rogues with passion. They’re vile d*rty creatures that do not deserve any sympathy from anyone.

“Man, she looked so weak and afraid. It was like she was running from something, she wasn’t feral, she was afraid. And she turned back into her human form once she was tranqulized. Besides, it was early hours of the morning, the men on patrol were few”, Nathan tried to make me see reason but I wasn’t having any of it.

“I don’t care Nathan, rogues are dangerous creatures and should be killed on sight. I don’t want her near my pack members, kill her Nathan”, I said angrily through the mindlink and put up my barrier.

As I removed my shirt, I heard Fay, my chosen mate come in. Fay is beautiful and loved by everyone but she’s not my mate, Daxon and I do not feel anything for her. We want mate!

“You’re back, Adrian. I heard you did not find your mate”, she whispered in my hear in what she thought was s*xy and I felt disgusted.

“Get your hands off me and get out of my room, Fay!”, I growled out in my Alpha voice and she scurried out of my room. I did not want to be mated with another one other than my mate. I want to feel everything Mom and Dad have.

I was done bathing and about to get some shut eye when Mom came barging into my room looking angry. Uh oh. I don’t know what I did but Mom can be pretty scary when she’s mad.

“I did not train you to be like this, Adrian Lucas Woods!”, Mom said angrily and i knew I was in trouble because she used my full name.

“I did not do anything,Mom. I just got back from my trip and I came to my room, I haven’t done anything I promise”, I looked at her thinking about what I could have done wrong. Was it because I told Fay to get out? Mom doesn’t even like her like that, she just agreed because she’s the best option for me.

“That’s exactly what you did! You did not do anything! A rogue was caught on the pack lands after 8 years and you were not going to find out what brought her into our land? You’re the next Alpha King, Adrian, you can’t take things lightly like this. What if there are more of them and she’s a spy? What if we can get more information out of her and you gave orders that she should be killed?”, Mom exclaimed angrily and marched out of my room.

I sighed and mindlinked Nathan that I’ll be at the dungeon in half and hour and nothing must be done to the rogue. I dressed up and went downstairs to get something to eat. I’ll need the energy to deal with that mother***king intruder.

I left the pack house and felt Daxon get restless in my head. He’s never restless and that got me worried.

“What’s it, buddy? Is something wrong?”, I asked through our mindlink.

“I don’t know. I have the feeling that something is about to happen at the dungeon, I can’t place what it’s going to be”, Daxon replied me back.

I quickened my pace to the dungeon, I hope I don’t shed blood today. I’m unstoppable once I start, another reason I need my mate. F*ck you, Moon goddess.

Lola’s POV

I woke up to stinging pain in my side, stomach and left leg. Shit, my wounds from when that rogue attacked me hasn’t fully healed. I sat up and saw that I was in chain, silver chains. It was bound to my legs and hands but I did not feel any pain.

Silver is harmful to werewolves, I have seen people in my former pack get hurt when they touch pure sikver. I guess that doesn’t apply to me, lucky me.

I could not feel Jasmine in my head and started panicking, she’s always been quiet but right now she just seems to be missing from my subconscious.

“Jas, Jasmine, are you there girl? Jasmine, please give me a response. Something, anything to confirm that you’re still with me”, I called out in panick in my head, my eyes starting to tear up. I can’t lose Jasmine, she’s the only one I have left in this cruel world. She’s a part of me I don’t ever want to lose.

“I’m trying to get some shut eye Lola. Why the fuck is your voice so loud? I was in my form for days to protect you and disturbing my peace is what you use to pay me back? Ungrateful human”, Jasmine said playfully in my head and I sighed in relief, my tears finally spilling onto my cheeks.

“You scared me girl. I thought I lost you too”. I sobbed into the mindlink. Thank the Moon goddess.

“You can’t get rid of me that easy, girl. You’re stuck with me for the rest of your life”, she said with laughter in her voice and I laughed weakly too. She’s here forever. I need to stop panicking.

“Jas, it’s like we have a kind of connection with dark places and imprisonment. We’re back to being locked up and this time we are in chains”, i said to her with fake happiness and she laughed Jasmine actually laughed. I haven’t heard her beautiful laughter since we became slaves in Moonlit pack.

“We’re intruders, Lola. We can’t be allowed to roam pack lands freely. We’ll probably get punished when the Alpha get here, that’s the only reason why we’re still here in this dungeon”, she said to me and I nodded. She has a point.

“Even if we get killed here, at least that motherf**king son of a gun did not strip us of everything. We’re going to die with our innocence intact, I could not bear the thoughts of being touched by that vile creature that should burn in fire for all of eternity”, I said with some sense of pride and felt Jasmine nod her head.

“Why are you so relaxed Jasmine? You have never been this relaxed or chatty in 8 years, am I missing something?”, I questioned her seeing as she wasn’t bothered about the fact that we were in bondage or imprisoned.

“I don’t know Lola. I just feel at peace on this land. I just know no harm will come to us”, she responded lazily and receded to the back of my mind again.

I was left with my thoughts after Jasmine went to sleep. What did she mean by that? Why are we safe in this pack? My thoughts were running at miles per hour when I heard footsteps coming towards my cell.

The door opened and a man about 6 feet tall came in. I could not really see his features because of the darkness but I saw he was well built and very masculine.

“I see you’re awake, rogue. Care to tell me why you’re on our land?”, He snarled at me and I instinctively made myself small. I’m going to die, Jasmine was wrong.
