ZAIN POV
“Alpha a female rogue was caught entering the pack.”
I growled out in anger.
I have said it over and over again, I don’t like it when rogues come into my territory.
They bring nothing but painful memories.
It’s all thanks to them that I lost my best friend and the only love of my life.
Although half of the blame is also on me. I shouldn’t have left her all alone. Till this moment, I keep beating myself up.
It’s been three years and eight months since I last saw her, touched her, hugged her, and kissed her.
People keep telling me to move on already because it has been a long time. But what they don’t know is, to them it might be a long time but to me, it feels like just yesterday I held her cold body in my arms shouting her name hoping she opens her beautiful emerald eyes.
I should have lost it the very moment she left this world. I badly wanted to end my life and join her, but I couldn’t.
All because she left a huge responsibility for me to take care of.
Now the same rogues is back.
There is no way I am going to let whoever it is go alive.
I don’t care if it’s a woman.
A rogue is a rogue.
I stood up angrily and walked out of my bedroom.
I left my house without turning back.
As I got to the gates of the prison, Zander, my wolf who hardly comes around except when there is a threat, began to act strangely.
He hasn’t acted out of place since we lost our mate. In fact, we hardly communicated after the incident.
Now he is acting strange, which is so confusing.
I wanted to know what was wrong with him, but I couldn’t bring myself to ask him any questions.
I have something important to do, and that is getting rid of that rogue.
I kept walking, and as I got slowly to the cell, the sweet scent of lavender and vanilla rushed into my nostrils.
I stopped and closed my eyes as I took in a deep breath.
The scent invaded my mind and whole being, and then it calmed me down.
I realised what I was doing and quickly opened my eyes.
This is so weird.
Where the hell is that scent coming from, and why am I enjoying it? This is a prison that is always filled with a strong smell. So why is it different today, or could it be that someone spray an air spray or perfume here?
I almost forgot about the rogue.
I decided to go to the rogue first before investigating on the sweet scent.
I began to walk, passing empty cells.
The more I got closer to the cell the rogue is, the stronger I could perceive the scent.
I opened the cell, and my eyes went straight to a girl who was bounded with chains.
She raised her head and looked at me.
Everywhere became so silent, and it felt like it was just us.
“She is our mate.” Zander speaks.
Shock was not the word to describe how I felt when I heard Zander say that.
“That is impossible. How can you even say that? Have you completely lost your mind or something?” I asked him after I got myself together.
“You need to believe me. She is our second chance mate. The moon goddess blessed us with another mate.” he said, feeling so excited.
But I was not feeling it at all.
I can’t cheat on my mate with another lady who I know nothing about. The only mate I recognise is the love of my life and no one else.
She is the only one who has my heart.
“I never said I wanted a second chance mate. I don’t know what the moon goddess is doing, and I really don’t care, but I have only one mate who is Wendy. I am not going to accept just anyone, and you can’t force me to.” I told him.
“Can you not give her a chance. She might heal us.” he sounded desperate, which is so unlike him.
What happened to him being strong and dominant?
Right now, he is acting like a weakling only because of a rogue. Like hell, I will allow her to ruin my beast. She can’t stay alive.
“Zain don’t even think of it.” he warned me, but I blocked him from my mind.
“I don’t want to see her ever again. Execute her.” I ordered Damien my gamma, who was in the cell with her before I walked in.
I turned to leave when I heard a soft and beautiful voice speaking.
“Wait a minute.”
I turned to look at her. I didn’t want to, but it felt like I had no control over my body.
With a frown on my face, I stared at her.
“You can’t just order for me to be killed. You don’t even know me, and you didn’t interrogate me to know why I trespassed your territory.” she said, looking at me dead in my eyes.
She didn’t show any bit of fear, which I must say is remarkable.
Others would never look me in the eyes, but she is different.
From the corner of my eyes, I could see Damien looking at her with a stunned look on his face.
“So?” I asked.
A look of shock flashed in her face, but she covered it up.
“Really? Is that all you can say to me?” she asked.
“What are you expecting?”
“You can’t kill me, and you know better why you shouldn’t do that.” she said.
I let out a chuckle.
I understand clearly what she meant by that.
She is referring to us being mates.
“Do you think I give a f**k about that? You must be delusional to think I will just accept you.” I said.
Her eyes darken and I could tell what I said got to her.
She closed her eyes and began to move her lips like she was having a silent discussion with herself.
She opened her eyes and I was almost taken aback by the look on her face.
Note the word; almost.
“I shouldn’t be surprised to hear you say that. I mean you are the Great Alpha King, Zain. What would you do with someone like me right? Besides I have heard a lot about you by the way and the rumors are so true about you. Not only are you full of arrogance but also egoist. Not just that but you are also a sadist.” she said not even flinching as she looked at me.
“What did you just say?” I asked her.
“Oh you heard me so right.” she answered back.
“Know your place rogue. You are in my territory so show me some respect. I won’t tolerate any insult from you. Keep that mouth of yours shut or I do something that will make you to never talk ever again.” I warned her.
I haven’t given her the right to be my mate so she has no right to talk to me like I am her equal. I won’t accept such disrespect.
“What more are you going to do me? Beside you have made up your mind to kill me so I might as well enjoy my last moments.” she said stubbornly.
Zander was enjoying every bit of how she was speaking back at me when he should be upset that she isn’t respecting us.
I studied her closely and noticed that she is an omega. I have never come across any rogue who is an omega which is strange.
I know all omegas to be nothing but weak and powerless.
“You are an omega.” I stated.
“Took you long enough to notice. And I thought you were smart.” she replied.
I had to stop a growl from coming out of my mouth.
“You being an omega doesn’t add any value to my life. It is like you being completely useless.” I said back at her hoping it gets to her also.
I was expecting her to feel sad at the choice of my words but she smiled instead.
“Tell me something I haven’t heard before. You also don’t add anything to my life. Don’t make yourself feel so special.”
She does look weak but her mouth is more powerful with the words that comes out of it.
But then, how is she able to cope as a rogue? Or could she be a spy?
“How did you find your way into my pack? What do you want.” I asked her.
She smiled again.
“I thought you would never ask. Now you are curious about how I got here after I begged for a listening ear. Well I can’t tell you because I have lost interest. It won’t change anything because you will still execute me.” she rolled her eyes.
I let out a warning growl.
“Don’t f*****g roll your eyes at me.”
“What if I do?”
She is clearly tasting my patience.
“I honestly have no f*****g time for this. Damien over to you.” I said and decided to leave.
“Look who is running now. Weak asshole.” I heard her whisper.
There is one word I hate so much. And that is being called weak.
I am a full blood Alpha, there is no way I am weak.
The insult agitated something inside of me.
I walked to her and held her neck with my hand.
“I will show you that I am not weak. It might be the last thing you will see before I suck your life away from you.” I said as I squeezed her neck harder.
She tried to fight me but her hands were bounded to a chain. Tears started to fall from her eyes.
Zander went wild and tried to take control but I was stronger than him. He begged me to leave her alone but I refused to listen.
My mind is made up already and I am not changing my mind. She needs to die.
Slowly, her eyes were fighting to stay open as she fought to stay alive.
I watched as she was finally about to close her eyes.
“Daddy what are you doing?”
That was all it took for me to let her go and freeze.
