Chapter 0138
Elliot's POV
Claws dug into the back of my shoulder blade, and I hissed in pain as I whipped around, canines extended. I ripped out the throat of the rogue attacking me, blood splattered everywhere, coating my wolf's fur. My wolf was huge and was no match for these rogues. My warriors and Beta were also fighting; they were the strongest bunch of warriors in the world, and I was proud of them.
Though we lost some, I was determined not to lose any more of my men.
"Alpha!" Leo shouted through the mindlink. I whipped around to see him being surrounded. There were so many rogues that my mind was spinning.
Where did they all come from and what did they want?
I leaped in the middle of the circle surrounding my Beta and clawed at them, using my Alpha strength to tear them apart. Once I got a good leverage on them, my Beta helped wipe the rest of them out.
Leo's wolf was also large, but I was much bigger. We both had razor-sharp teeth and piercing yellow eyes. My wolf was all black and his wolf was dark grey. Most of my pack were black or grey wolves. Omegas typically had light grey wolves and Alpha's typically had black ones. All the others usually had dark grey, but sometimes they had brown or orange as well.
My mind shifted to Silver, and I wondered what her wolf would look like if she were to have one. My heart skipped a beat at the thought of our wolves running together. I wished more than anything that I did the official Luna ceremony for her and marked her so that I could míndlink her and figure out if she was okay. I'm sure she was worried about me just as I was worried about her.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"Is that all of them?" I asked after what felt like an eternity. We've been fighting for the past hour and the fight has been ongoing since before I arrived.
"I can't tell," Leo said, stepping beside me and searching the perimeter of the forest.
"Alpha! We found something north of the border!" One of my gammas mindlinked.
He sent the mindlink to both Leo and I; we both looked at one another and took off in that direction. When we got there, a bunch of my gammas were already there; most of them in wolf form, and some had shifted into their human forms. They stood naked, though it wasn't a big deal because nudity was common amongst shifters. However, for reasons like this, we kept a bunch of chests around our territory with different-sized clothes so we could change into them if we had to shift.
The gamma that had mindlinked us had already shifted into its human form and was crouching down in front of a piece of fabric. I paused when I saw the familiar symbol on the fabric; it was part of a shirt that must have been shredded when a shifter shifted into their wolf form without removing their clothes first.
I smelled it deeply and a growl escaped my snout.
"It's a rogue," I said through the link for them all to hear.
"But look at the symbol, Alpha," the gamma holding the fabric pointed out; I had already noticed the symbol on the fabric, but it didn't make any sense.
"It's the symbol of the Darknight
pack," I murmured through the link,
still not sure exactly how it was possible. "Why would a rogue steal the clothes of someone in Shirley's pack?"
"Or perhaps the rogue was from her pack," Leo suggested.
I shook my head.
"It's possible, but they wouldn't be allowed to wear this article of clothing with the Darknight symbo Shirley would have made sure they were stripped of everything that had to do with her pack," I said simply.
"Or maybe she was the one who sent them," Luca muttered; he was still in his wolf form, and I could his piercing yellow eyes and the
scow on his wolf's face as he spoke those words through the mindlink.
"This doesn't make any sense," I replied.
"You broke the ties with the Darknight pack. Perhaps this is their way of starting a war," Leo said.
"By using rogues?"
"Are we sure they are rogues?" Another gamma asked. "Maybe we just thought they were because they attacked us. They could just be part of Shirley's pack."
"No, I know the scent of her pack vs. the scent of rogues," I said in a growl. "Something is off... something we aren't aware of..."
Before anyone could say anything else, a new voice appeared in my mind; it was a mindlink from a packmate.
