Chapter 7: The Rogue's Confession PT 3
1120 Words
Connor's POV:
She still doesn’t know what I am talking about, but I don’t need her scent flavoring the room more.
C: I will tell you later, but I don’t need the rogue waking up to a s****l charged room.
L: That is fine, but you will tell me later.
She cuts the mind link off, grabbing a bucket. She dumps what appears to be ice water on the rogue and he wakes with a start. He is spitting the water out of his face since cannot move it away with his cuffed hands. “What the f**k is going on?” he spews.
Lexi backhands him and yells, “You will not address us like that again. I am the Luna of Crimson Forest and this is the Alpha and Beta. You will address us with respect, or I will slice your skin off a piece at a time.”
He gulps his saliva down and you can physically see it as well as hear him. I look at Derik with a huge smirk on my face. Yes, babe, you tell that disgusting mutt who we are and what we expect. I step forward and his eyes get huge. My reputation must proceed me as always and he bows his head. I know his respect won’t last long.
“Who are you and why were you on our property?” I ask him.
“My name is Marcus,” was his lonely response.
“I asked you a question. Why were you on our property?” I ask again as I get in his face.
He spits in my face and I retreat to clean my face. Lexi growls and tells Derik to hold his head back against the chair. I have never seen her torture someone, so this will be new. She takes the knife and slices his ears on the side from the top of his ear to the bottom of his lobe. He is screaming in pain and trying to buck them off, but to no avail.
“Why were you on our property?” I spit my question at him as I hold his head back by his hair, inches from his face.
“We were chasing the girl,” he growls through his teeth. Not giving anymore information away I jerk his head back further baring his neck.
“Why were you chasing the girl?” I ask him. I know he is in an uncomfortable position. Most male wolves do not bare their neck to another male.
Even with Lexi’s cuts, he still feels the need to ignore us further. “f**k off. You are not my alpha and I don’t answer to you.”
What does he mean by my alpha? Rogues don’t have alphas. I was thinking the same thing. I hear Lexi trying to get through on the mind link.
L: What does he mean?
D: I don’t know I have never hear of a rogue having an Alpha.
We have the ability to project our mind links to more than one people if we choose to.
C: Mav and I were just discussing the same thing. I have never heard of a pack of rogues big enough to have an Alpha let alone that they are compliant enough to listen.
D: Same. The way he said that it seems like he has one.
L: I agree.
I cut the mind link off with every intention of asking him what he means, but he speaks first. “I can tell you were all chatting. Yes, I have an Alpha and he is going to take you down. Your pack will fall to it’s knees and he will rule this land.” He starts laughing and Lexi loses control over Alice.
With Alice in control, Lexi rips a hole in the rogue’s pants and very quickly cuts his d**k off. I see Derik groan and grab his crotch. I have never seen such interrogation methods. Generally, it is higher-ranking males doing them, and I don’t think I will ever cut another dude’s d**k off, but this seems to have potentially loosened his mouth.
He is trembling from the pain and I am surprised he hasn’t passed out. Lexi looks him right in the eyes and with a very controlled voice says, “Tell us what we need to know and I will kill you quickly instead of you bleed to death.”
He manages to spit out, “We know who she is and what she means to you both. We have been watching her and your borders for months. It seemed you were getting closer to discovering who she was during your patrols, so we were ordered to take care of her. We knew there was a break in your patrol during the time that she ran, but we didn’t expect her to fight.”
He has to take a break as he starts to cough from the blood loss. He is getting weaker, and he knows the only way to a quicker death is to tell us everything. “My Alpha is someone you know. You took down his pack five years ago when you first became Alpha of this wretched so-called pack.”
Lexi lashes out and slashes a huge gash across his chest and he screams in pain. “DO NOT INSULT MY PACK,” she roars in his face.
“She cannot stay alive because she is the only….” he stops midsentence as his eyes cloud over. He is receiving a mind link.
Instinctively my claws extend, and I rip his throat out. Whoever was mind linking him is obviously connected to the Alpha of the Rogues and they must not know we know the Alpha exists. His head droops as the last bit of blood drains from the already bleeding body.
I am pissed because he was about to tell us what we needed to know. “f**k!” I shout. “We needed that information. How can they be mobilizing and that grounded that they can mind link from distances?” I ask not really expecting an answer.
We are interrupted by an urgent mind link form Andrew. He seems panicked. What the hell is going on.
A: Brittany is in the hospital. She fell down the stairs and is bleeding. Teresa said the baby and her are in grave danger.
When he cuts the link, the three of us run straight to the pack hospital, putting the rogue far from our minds.
