Chapter 159
My scowl deepens. “Something about me believing that he would be the only one who wants our pups. What if he is right? Have you heard anything about his pack? Ashburn city?”
“He is trying to mess with your head. Roan will be killed in front of everyone tomorrow. It doesn’t matter what he says.” He presses his lips to my cheek. “But yes, I have had news from Ashburn city. It seems that Roan was getting a bit too power obsessed. The Beta has
stepped into the Alpha role and he has told me that he will be glad to see the back of him as is the pack.”
I frown. It had taken me a while to figure out the importance of an Alpha Beta relationship. But I always thought they had each other’s backs. Though I didn’t have much to base it on. Just Trey and Kyle, and Dane and Eric.
“So they won’t try anything?”
“It seems that way.”
“And what about the Rogue, Salem? Will he be sentenced tomorrow?”
“Raven wants to speak to Salem first.”
“What?” I was completely taken by surprise.
“She has requested it. And I agree. Maybe she can get more information out of him. Because he isn’t talking to you, no matter how many times you try.”
It surprises me that he had agreed. Especially after what the Rogue did to her.
“Are you sure you are okay with that?” I whisper
“Damien and myself will be with her. She won’t be alone with him.”

It was late in the evening when the three of them headed over to the dungeon. Raven was hopping along on crutches much to Damiens frustrations. “She will be okay.” Eric mutters from next to me.
“You don’t know that.”
“You are right, I don’t. But neither of those men are going to let anything else happen to her.”
I watch them disappear from sight and turn back into the house.
“What answer were you hoping to get from him?” Eric asks curiously, following me in.
“I don’t know.”
“Really? Neah, you have been sneaking down in the dungeons for days. There must have been something you wanted him to tell you.”
“I wanted to know how he ended up like that. But he won’t answer any questions.”
“You wanted to know how he became Rogue?”
I nod, feeling the lump form in my throat.
He stares at me for a second. “That won’t happen to you.”
“You don’t know that.”
“Do you crave the taste of flesh?” I hear his amusement
“No. But what if I snap, or lose control? What if I’m lured into it? What if something so bad happens that I let Nyx take over completely? What if…”
“Neah, that is a lot of what ifs.” He grins at me, “You have fully shifted all of a handful of times and only for a short amount of time. I think it would take a lot for you to become permanently like one of them. You have Dane, you have the entire pack behind you. You are not a lone Lycan and right now, you don’t need to worry about them. We have it handled. I promise.”
Maybe I was overthinking it. Maybe I had let the silent Rogue get into my head.
I nod as we walk through the house to the kitchen.
“Do you think there are more?” I ask quietly
“Rogues? According to Klaus, the probability is yes. We don’t know how many they chose to mark. Mallory said the others found her over a span of two years. So I would assume there are more out there.”
“I can’t sense them. Well, Damien I can, because he has made some sort of oath to protect me. But the others, there aren’t even whisperings of them. It’s like they don’t exist but I can see the Rogue and Mallory with my own eyes.”
“And in the forest.” I continue, “It was like my body knew where to go. Like Nyx could sense them, but I couldn’t. How is that possible?”
“Did Nyx know?”
‘No I didn’t!” She snaps
“She says no. How Eric, how was it possible for me to track him without ever laying eyes on him?”
He smiles at me. “You are an Alpha, Neah. It’s ingrained in your blood.”
