A boy around the age of eight was running as fast as his small legs could. He wasn’t even looking back
and was running with all the dedication and passion in the world while chanting only one thing in his
mind. But he could still hear the sound of those beasts running behind him howling scarily.
‘I have to survive. I will not let them destroy me. I have to survive to take revenge. I will take revenge
for everything that is taken away from me. I will return and take my revenge.’
The more he reminds himself of those words, the faster his legs work in the dark night through the
dangerous forest. He was running through the forest, cutting himself with the fallen branches here and
there but he didn’t care. He soon noticed the road and a smile came up on his face. He was now at the
other side of the city, far enough from that burning fire. Now he is safe or he thought so.
Soon a blaring sound came from his left and a blinding light came from the car which was approaching
him at full speed. And within a few seconds….
“ALPHA!” Nathan raised his voice at last after trying to get his attention for the past two minutes and
this worked as Dominic seemed to be out of the zone he was in.
Dominic looked at Nathan and Justin with a blank face with some past scars clearly expressed through
that look and Nathan instantly knew what he was thinking. At that moment he regretted calling for his
attention because it never brings anything good whenever he is back from the thoughts of the past.
They were discussing what to do with the recent rogue attacks around their area when he suddenly
went silent. He got lost in the thoughts of the past.
“What?” Dominic asked in a dark tone which made a shiver pass through their spines.
His mood was already down as they forced him away from Athena and the memories of the past
worsened it to some other level.
“Uhh, it’s okay. We will be back later when you are in a better mood.” Justin said and was going to
excuse themselves from there but Dominic stopped him.
“You guys should be used to this mood by now.” Dominic stated in a blank which made the two men
sigh. He was right. They should be used to it by now. But everytime they see that expression on his
face, the pressure of that expression makes them cower away
“We can’t get used to it, King. It’s too difficult for us and it’s not only us, it’s hard for our pack members.
And it’s going to be the same for Athena as well.” Nathan said, trying to hint to the fact that even
though Athena was a rogue, she was not at fault in any of that.
He knows how Dominic can get whenever he remembers about his past. He doesn’t want things to get
ruined again.
“Why are you guys here? Just about the rogue attacks?” He asked blankly, swiftly changing
conversation. They didn’t drag it anymore after seeing the look on his face.
“What to do with the rogue that we caught on the party day? It’s been three days since he has been
locked up there, in a miserable state after we threatened him.” Justin informed him. He was talking
about Robert who was stuck because of Athena.
“Bring him here and have a talk with him if he is willing to work under me and get me the things I want.
Because he seems like an exceptionally sneaky rogue. If he agrees, assure him the safety from other
rogues and even if he doesn’t agree, make sure to keep an eye on him after letting him go.” Dominic
ordered, confusing Nathan and Justin. They both frowned at him.
“But alpha, How can he work under you? We don’t know if he used to work for our enemy or not. What
if h e was sent by Derrick only that day?!” Justin exclaimed in utter confusion.
“Just as I said, he is sneaky and selfish. He will work for me.” Dominic stated that like a fact and they
both easily understood what that meant.
“Okay, I will talk to him and let you know.” Nathan said with a nod. “But what to do with Derrick and his
sneaky plans? He used a witch which is forbidden in our community. The water is going out of hands
now. We should do something before it starts to drown us.” He said with a deep frown.
“Don’t worry, Nathan. He has tried to drown us enough. Now it’s time for them to get drowned in the
pitch they are digging.” Dominic said with a dark look on his face.
“And the witch, try to find her. Even though she won’t dare to do anything more than what she did
because she very well knows what it means to mess with me. Her whole community will suffer because
o f her. She won’t want that.” He said and Nathan nodded at him, agreeing with him.
“And as long as it’s about Derrick, don’t worry, I have already laid my traps for him and he is getting
tangled into it everyday, step by step. I will play him some more by using his sneaky plans before giving
him the taste of checkmate.” He said with a smirk.
“Can’t wait for that day, alpha. Just need to find the rogue king. Things will settle back to normal in our
lives again.” Justin added. “Now anything else you want us to do?” He asked after a few seconds of
silence.
“Yes, does Stacey’s father know about the change of events?” He asked with a wicked smile.
“No, Alpha. Not yet.” Justin answered.
“How about we let him know? After all, he worked so hard for this which got ruined.” Dominic said,
mentioning about not making Stacey the Luna anymore.
“That will be a pleasure alpha. I will make the arrangements right away.” Justin said with a smile.
“You can leave now.” He ordered in a blank tone while leaning back on the chair and closing his eyes.
They looked at his expressionless face. He understood that his mood was still dampened from the
previous thoughts of the past. He wondered if there will be a time when those thoughts won’t bother
him more and he will always be happy, always smiling.
