Chapter 3 Encounter with Rogues

Cara povs

The party was in full swing by the time my escort and I arrived at the grand pack hall.

The air was thick with chatter and laughter, the room illuminated by dazzling chandeliers. At the centre of it all stood the Alpha, hosting his esteemed guests. Surrounding him were the pack's most important figures, Beta and Delta families, elders, and emissaries from a neighbouring pack. Their presence was both intimidating and ominous, signalling the magnitude of the night's event.

I was led to the stage where the other chosen girls were already seated. My entrance drew curious glances, though I barely registered them. I felt the weight of my situation press down on me like a physical burden.

Taking my seat among the girls, I couldn't help but notice their beaming smiles. They looked like they were attending a gala, not a negotiation of their fates. Disgust churned in my stomach. How could they be so excited, knowing what awaited us?

At the Climax of the party Alpha Black stood up and after greeting the guest started giving his speech of the park looking forward to unite with the other park to fight against the "King of rogues" incase he attacks. I between his speech he also spoke of it being an honour for the girls going that it will do the pack a favour and their names will be remembered.

Everybody was celebrating, and even the emissaries all had happy looks as their gazes lightened up with dark light as they stared at us and checked us out.

Amid the celebration, I felt a burning gaze. One of the emissaries, a hunched man with a bald head and foul yellowed teeth, was staring at me. His lips curled into a grotesque smile.

I scrounged my face in disgust.

"This one is beautiful" I heard him say to his friends, making them turn their lecherous gaze on me.

I pulled my eyes down as I could feel their burning gaze on me.

"Hey little one, your elder is talking to you" he said angrily, standing up

I felt deep fear on my bones ,the lecherous man was a powerful elder in his pack. His pressure descended on me, causing me to whimper.

The drama got people's attention as my pack. members started frowning while the other girls were looking at me like I committed one grave offence in their books.

My Alpha, Alpha Black, came over looking enraged, "forgive her, my amiable guest, I will discipline her" he pleaded with the lecherous man.

The man nodded, going back to his seat.

With a speed I could not follow, my alpha was standing beside me, and he extended his hands towards my face.

Twack!

The sound echoed as I saw a flash of White for a brief second, the power as his slap blew me off the stage.

"Learn to be a good girl" he scowled at me, looking at me with disgust.

Tears blinded my vision, but I fought it from coming out. I looked at my Alpha with every hate possible in this world. The same man who has always treated me like me, turning a blind eye to all the abuses I have been receiving, now tries to butt lick the emissaries to gain favour by punishing me.

I don't know what happened or the devil at work that was bent on ruining my day, but when he turned his back at me, I spat at him.

The hall, if it was quiet before, was like a graveyard now, as my eyes widened on realising what I had done.

The lecherous man chuckled in his seat "interesting"

His fellow colleagues have faces of shock.

My pack members had shock written on their faces as they could not believe what they just saw

My Alpha. Alpha Black was the most stunned, his eyes glowing yellow as his Fangs enlarged with unbelievable sharp glints at the edges.

I embrace my fate at what was about to come , closing my eyes. I waited for death to come. That's when it happened.....

Without warning, the silence in the hall shattered. Massive bloodthirsty wolves of different sizes invaded the hall from all angles. Chaos reigned down the party hall as everyone was caught unawares.

"Rogue attack!!, Rogue attack!!" I don't know who shouted, but the shout unfroze everyone from their shock.

Sounds of snarls and growls filled the night as the warriors of the pack rushed in to meet face to face with the rogues.

I peered from where I was on the ground as unspeakable fear came over me.

The rogues are attacking!

Memories that have buried themselves in my mind were surging through my blood. Trying to surface

"Cara, be strong! This is the time to escape!" I chanted to myself, biting my upper lips and drew blood, snapping me out of my shock .

My wolf instinct came over me, and I sprang up from the floor running out of the hall into the nearby forest.

By now, everybody has dispersed as those that have families rushed to tend to their families. Alpha black and the soldiers of the pack were already fighting the rogues. Thick scent of blood hung in the air as I ran with all my might across the pack, going straight into the woods.

Blood was pounding in my head, as I ran for my dear life. I was still a distance away from my pack when the powerful roar of alpha black echoed throughout the woods. I fell on the ground, affected by the roar. my inner wolf crawled out forcefully.

That was "a shout of call to fight" a roar alphas use when they are facing stronger enemies, the roar will prompt whoever Is in the pack to transform and join the alpha in protecting the pack.

I tried resisting the pull, but my wolf won't let me. The pain of transformation overcame me as I transformed into my wolf powerlessly, a white wolf with a line of gold running from the head down to its belly.

My vision changed like I was wearing ultra night goggles. Everything changed like it was in the daytime. I could make out the life signature of squirrels running across the trees and the insects and crickets miles away.

My wolf turned helplessly and was about to run back to the pack to answer the call of Alpha Black when I felt another pull from the opposite direction. The foreign pull was intoxicating. It clashed with alpha black pull, fighting for dominance. After what felt like hours, the war that was happening inside me stopped. making me regain my clarity.

I was suddenly free from any compelling spell. confused. I looked around, but I didn't see anyone. Instinctively, I knew I had to follow the intoxicating pull. I sprang up in a dash following the pull deep into the woods.

I continued running, pushing my tired limbs. By now, I was deep in the forest. but the feeling like I was being followed kept on increasing as I ran faster,

I saw from the edge of my vision a red glow of light in the darkness. I had tried to escape them by running, but they were faster. My wolf was tired, I could feel it, I prayed for a miracle, but I got none. with a painful sound i crashed on the hard ground, my wolf whimpered, she was exhausted and couldn't continue. When I saw them, Four of them came out of the darkness.

They were like the one that attacked my pack earlier on. The evil glow in their eyes was shining with thirst for blood and murder. They cornered every possible track for me to run away from, like a predator stalking its prey they started coming closer.

They were Rogues, the dangerous wolves that kill whenever they come across other wolf's, no reasoning or trick can save you when you encounter a rogue. Unfortunately, they were four in number.

I could see their smiles as they advance slowly toward me, saliva drooling from their mouths.

The pull came again, but with greater force and strength, it was coming from a direction behind me, but I couldn't look away from the rogues. Because any slight distraction from me will give the rogues the opportunity to strike.

The eyes of the Rogues flashed with fear as they saw what was behind me. My heart pounded like it would beat out of my chest

I felt a powerful presence behind me, and before I could do anything, the thing behind me lunged at the rogues in front of me amidst claws and snarling. My hairs stood on end as the beast aura washed on me, pressing my wolf to the ground in submission.

The rogues were also affected by the aura of the monster. The four of them had already lowered their heads into submission.

Through my foggy vision, I could make out a human figure fighting the rogues. The figure lunged at a rogue, their body colliding mid air but Crack of bone can be heard as the bone of the Rogue wolf was dislocated, blood stained the ground when the human figure clawed at the first rogue neck, killing it on the spot.

The rogues madly press their attack on the figure, but he was not fazed. He attacked with sharp daggers plunging it on the other rogue's fur. killing it on the spot.

Leaping like a monkey, it mauneverd around the remaining three rogues, then like a flash, a dagger appeared before disappearing into two of the wolves in synch. leaving only one alive.

The only one tried to run but was immediately tackled to the ground. I heard one last shout of the Rogue wolf before all was silent, the human figure had defeated the group of Rogues in just a second of time.

I looked up, trembling. The figure stood bathed in moonlight, half-human, half-wolf, with blood dribbling from his blade, like the dark ripper.

He stepped closer, and I caught a glimpse of his face. It was devastatingly handsome, yet terrifying. He was a half human half wolf, from his upper body was like a wolf, the claws , and the unnaturally Hairy skin with his red glowing eyes piercing through the night as if looking into my soul.

I tried running, but it seemed all my limbs were trapped by an unknown power, keeping me still like a slab of meat on the butcher's table waiting to be cutted.

The pull I felt earlier was at its highest tugging me to the monster before me. When my wolf couldn't take it more. I turned back to my human self.

His red eyes widened as he sniffed at me numerous times. I looked up slowly in fear as our gaze collided together, and immediately heat spread throughout my body.

then, like a loaded spring, he backed away like he had seen a ghost

"mate?...mate?" he mumbled with a deep voice that sent shivers down my shaky limbs that wanted to give out. "No it can't ...be" he continued muttering to himself, backing away.

"Please don't go, I don't know where else to go" I quickly pleaded.

He continued backing away like I was poison.

"please i'm begging you" i continued begging him not to leave me as i figured since he hadn't killed me. He won't harm me.

"impossible..."

I heard him mutter again one last time before he turned his back and vanished into the woods, leaving me with an empty feeling that tore through my heart, a feeling that I can't seem to explain.
