“Are you sure about this?” Eric whispers, grabbing my arm.I nod, “I have to try,” and charge forward leaving Eric behindI could hear Damien talking. It took me a moment to see him, high in a tree. He was in Lycan form. He could talk in beast form?’I think there is a lot we haven’t been told.’ Nyx mutters as I squat behind a bush.Raven screams again and over in another tree is another Lycan, holding on to her with ease. She’s barely fighting and blood splatters onto the ground below her. “SALEM! This isn’t a fucking game!” Damien roars at him.Salem, did he seriously just call him Salem?’As in her first mate?’ Nyx asks curiously.’But he was a Wolf?”Has she ever mentioned that?’ Nyx murmurs’Are you saying that she knew and didn’t tell anyone?”No. Think about it. You said she told you he rejected her once he found out who her pack was. What if someone from Moonshine told him to stay clear?’I look up as Raven screams again. The Rogue Lycan has its teeth buried around her waist. It was killing her right in front of Damien. I couldn’t take it anymore.I step out from my hiding spot. “Let her go.”The Rogue removes its teeth from Raven to look at me.”Let her go!” I repeat.”Gladly.” He drops her. There is a blur of movement as Damien dives down from the tree to try and catch her before she slams against the ground.The Rogue lands in front of me. Standing up to his full height and looming over my small frame.”You are the female Alpha.” It snorts. “What is so special about you?””Nothing.”It lets out a gargled laugh, locking its beady eyes on me. “You protect Wolves? How noble.” “You’re Salem?” I ask. For some unknown reason, I felt no fear, staring into the eyes of death. “I am.””You were mated to her? You were the one who was mated to Raven?””WHAT?!” I hear from behind me. I don’t move a muscle, if I looked to see what Damien was doing, it would be a mistake. Dane had told me that. Dane had said not to look away if I came face to face with it. “Once upon a time.” The Rogue growls.”You rejected her.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.”I did. Wolves and Lycans don’t mix.” He snarls at me, bloody drool dribbles from its jaws. “Though Wolves do taste delicious.” He runs his tongue along his teeth.”Was it your choice, or were you told to reject her?””Like I said, wolves and Lycans don’t mix.””You won’t touch them.” I stare back at him.He lets out that gargled laugh again “You think you can stop me?””I’ve killed Lycans.” I knew my eyes were darkening as I stare at himHe laughs again, but this time, it’s not as gargled and sounds more sceptical”Because you are some almighty Alpha? That doesn’t work with Rogues.”‘Tell him. He hasn’t figured it out.’ Nyx mutters gleefully.I stare up into his beady eyes, “I am your Alpha whether you like it or not, Salem.”He growls at me and takes a step back. “I don’t go by that name anymore and you will never be my Alpha.””You are a product of a Moonshine Lycan, that makes me your Alpha.” I hated using the term, but right now, it was needed and without Nyx, I probably wouldn’t be standing here. “You can’t deny that. You feel it. You know I outrank you whether you want me to or not.” “I am a Rogue.””Keep telling yourself that.””I will kill you.”I don’t respond as Damien creeps up behind him, forcing his claws through Salem’s back before dragging them down through his skin.
