The Alphas Rogue

Vincents pt. "Keep holding strong warriors, only a few are left to be dropped so let's take these b*****d's down!" I mind linked to my pack warriors. We are currently in yet another battle with rogues, this being the 3rd this month. Thankfully being Alpha to the most powerful and largest pack, Blue Moon Pack, in England we've had nothing more than minor injuries but it can still be an inconvenience. "Alpha the last of them are down but we have one surrounded, what shall we do with him" my beta and best friend Kane mind linked me. "Take him to the dungeons, hopefully this one will be more cooperative with us" I replied with a slight annoyance to my voice. These rogues may be annoying, filthy things but they are so stubborn and surprisingly loyal when it comes to speaking of their 'King Alpha'. "I hope not" Kane said with a slight dark amusement to his voice, he's my best friend and a really caring guy but ever since rogues killed his mother he has developed a sadistic side when it comes to t*******g them. I can't blame him though, I would be the same if that was me. On my way to the pack house I check all warriors are unharmed and that the ones who are, have been taken to the pack hospital for medical checks. I know we heal extremely quick, most of the time the pack hospital isn't even necessary but I will never risk it. My pack are like my family, hell they are my family so I will always want their health as perfect as it can be. I congratulate my warriors and pack through mind link and tell them evening training will be dismissed tonight so they can enjoy a night with their family's and mates. Mates. Every time I mention that word it brings sadness to me, you see I'm 25 and am yet to still find my mate. I know she's still alive as I'd have the mark of a 'lifeless wolf' on the back of my neck. The mark is the full moon covered by dark clouds and a wolf just underneath it hanging it's head, I only know this as my little sister Lila has it, she was heartbroken when she found out what the mark was even though she has never met him but she grew to accept it and I must say is one the strongest woman I know and I'm very proud to be her brother. I arrived to my room, the bed looking insanely comfortable but I force myself to the shower, I stink of rogue and its driving my wolf insane.  "Calm down Axel, the smell will be gone in a minute okay?!' I yell at him in my mind. "I'll calm down when it's damn well vanished, if you would have let me take charge a rogue wouldn't have got close enough to spill b***d on your clothes" Axel snapped back at me. I rolled my eyes in annoyance and closed off the link. Usually Axel is very laid back but since the rogue attacks he's become very uneasy, it's as if he tries to force control and is on the hunt for something every battle we've had this month. I ask him about it but he never tells me, just says I'm being paranoid.  I strip off my clothes and jump in a hot shower, enjoying the silence besides the water hitting at my skin. I never realised a shower could be so peaceful, so calming. I remain there for about 15 minutes before I wash and hop out but not without tripping over thin air and hitting my head on the shower door. Of cause I can avoid injury from savage rogues but a shower door? Noooooo, my skills don't seem to go that far.  I chuck on some comfy grey sweat pants and a plain white top, leaving my hair to air dry. Heading downstairs I hear my mother and father laughing with each other. They're story of how they came to be is like no other that I have heard of. He was an Alphas son and supposed to be the next Alpha however on his 18th he met my mother. She was only there by the off chance she ignored her father and snuck on the plane to America. My grandfather banned her from coming because apparently my father's pack was known to be the most brutal, hateful pack in America. However just like my sister, my mother was a very curious person and would never pass on an opportunity to see if the rumours are true so she did what every 17 year old girl would do.... ignored her dad and did the complete opposite of what he wished. Anyway the moment he saw her he says he fell inlove, the way her eyes held admiration, the way her hair rested on her shoulders, the way her face held innocence yet determination. My grandfather however stepped in front of my mother telling him he would never leave his only daughter in another country with a pack who has such evil ways and a cruel reputation. Usually an Alpha or a born Alpha will kill whoever even tries to take away or separate them from their mate but my father did something no one expected. He bowed his head down and told my grandfather he will happily and with no regrets give up his title as alpha and come to England to prove his love and devotion to my mother. My grandfather at first rejected his offer and still was determined to take my mother away but she threatened to stay in America if he did not accept him, told him if she stayed there her father would have no way to protect her, no way to see she is safe and happy and just at that thought my grandfather agreed. My father proved his love for my mother, did everything my grandfather asked and soon my grandfather accepted him like he was a son of his own. "Hey mum, hey dad how come you aren't at home?" I asked them, they moved into a cottage near the woods after I became Alpha for privacy. I've noticed you don't really get that once you're alpha, everyone wants to know everything. "Well son..." My dad started to speak before looking over to my mother. "Don't look at me Richard it was your idea" she said to him as she sat down on one of the stools crossing one leg over the other resting her head in her hands as if waiting for a show. "Okay so here's the thing, you're 25 with no mate or Luna so we were hopi...." Richard was cut off by Sophia, Vincent's mother, doing a fake cough "YOU. You were hoping dear" Richard rolled his eyes. "Fine I was hoping that you may consider a chosen mate, I'm not in any way forcing you or trying to make you feel like you have to but I think it's time you consider it. It's been 7 years since you started searching and I'm worried for you son. You know I only want the very best for you and to see your happiness". I must admit I'm not shocked at this, to be honest I'm surprised he didn't bring it up sooner. I never considered it though, ever since I was a little boy and was taught about mates that's all I've ever wanted. I saved everything for her, my first dance, my first date, my first kiss. I would wait forever for her and search the world a hundred times over for her. "Dad, I understand. I'm not upset or mad that you suggested this but please understand I will only ever want my mate. I know I haven't found her yet but I will never give up hope, just as I know you never would have given up hope on finding mum." My father smiled and instantly accepted my decision, my 'graceful' mum on the other hand cheered before jumping up and pointing at my father saying "in your face Richard I told you he'd never go for it. That's 50 big ones Mr". My father just groaned at her childish behaviour before laughing but paying up. "Alpha we found a rogue on our land!" Kane mind linked me but there was something different about his voice, concern maybe? But why for a rogue? "Okay? Just kill it, we already have one locked away and I don't wish to hold more on my land longer than needed to." I replied a little frustrated, I hate rogues. "You may want to come here, I..I can't just kill her. There's something about this rogue Alpha" okay now I'm really starting to worry. "Kane what the hell are you on about?" There was a minute silence before a reply came through. "Vincent....please" was all Kane said before he closed the link so I did the only thing I could. I headed for the spot they found this rogue to end it myself. Why did the thought of that feel so wrong?
