Chapter 33
“Jackpot!!!” one of the rogues exclaimed, and I felt Camila hold on to me tight before she positioned herself in front of me. I wonder why she did that. Did she think that she would be able to protect me from them? “An omega and a human,” the other one said with an evil smile on his face.
“I didn’t think that they were both worthless; I thought one was the princess,” the one who exclaimed said. Did he just tell us that someone told them about us being here? I looked at Camila and was doing the same, probably thinking the same thing as me.
“Hey, neither of them is good. Make sure to video everything we are going to do to them and send it to her, right?” the other said, reminding everyone with him what they needed to do. Who the hell is the “her” that they were talking about? She’s one from the palace that saw us leave earlier and knew these four idiots.
“Yeah, yeah, I know that already. So, who are you going to take?” “Either one of them is fine,” the other replied.
“Are you thinking that you will be able to take us?” I asked, trying to calm myself. If it were just me, I know that I would be able to fight them. But I am worried about Camila. What if one of them targeted her while I was busy fighting the others? I should not have brought her with me. But we are already here, and it’s not good to regret something while thinking of a way to escape from these monsters.
“Someone is trying to look strong here,” one of them replied. “I am not trying to appear strong. I am strong.” I told them, “Princess,” Camila said, scared.
“So, the human was the princess. I am going to take her. I wanted to send the prince our video fu****g while I was marking her.” The one who was not saying anything finally spoke.
“I am going to leave you barely alive to get the information that I wanted before I murdered you and smashed your head like a mashed potato,” I told him. Pi was already angry and wanted to go for a kill. I had to warn her because we wanted to catch them by surprise. They thought that I was human, so they would surely let down their guard a little.
The rogues laughed loudly, and then I smelled another set of scents. Fu**! There were two others. “You are tough, princess, but how long?” one of the two rogues that I smiled at said after they emerged from behind a tree. Now there are six of them. I thought I wouldn’t have any training now, but I guess the moon goddess wanted me to have it.
Meanwhile, Camila’s mind linked to Rapha and asked for help. ‘Lord Rapha, we are surrounded by six rogues,’ she said.
‘What!!’ Rapha said and looked at the King and Matteo, who had been with him in the king’s office since morning.
“What is it?” the king asked worriedly. “Camila’s mind linked me,”
“And?” he asked. Rapha looked at Matteo, who was waiting for his reply as well. “She said they were surrounded by six rogues.”
“Whose them? Who is with her?” Matteo asked angrily. “Princess,”
“Fu**!!” he said and stood up, followed by Calvin and James. They thought they were just in the bedroom since Rapha canceled the training. “Where are they?” Matteo asked again as they ran down and out of the palace.
“That’s the problem. She mind-linked me earlier and said that they were lost and didn’t know how to go back, so I asked one of the guards to look for them.”
“If there were rogues, then they were already outside the border. Alert everyone, NOW!!!” Matteo shouted. He was very worried and afraid that something might happen to her. He started to blame himself for not showing up for her when they returned. They would not have left the room and are in danger now.
“Son, nothing’s going to happen to them.” King Marco said,
“I’m sorry, Matteo. I should have kept my eyes on her,” James said, feeling sorry. He didn’t reply and shifted. He needed to find her. He would never know what she would do if something happened to her. He tried to track Camila’s scent; it was all over the place, and I think they ran together. He caught a scent of sweat, and he was wondering if it was Freya’s. He followed it, even if it was leading them around and around until they changed paths.
“I’ll go to another side with Camila’s scent,” James told him, and he nodded. It would be better if they separated, and he would be able to find them sooner. They continued the search and got more worried when he felt something in his chest and realized that Freya was hurt.
He ran as fast as he could, following the scents while trying to get out of the worst scenario that kept popping into his head. ‘Son, relax. You won’t be able to concentrate if you are that distraught. Keep your calm and think.’ King Marco said, which he did.
‘This is too far; how did they end up going here?’ Matteo thought. ‘Calvin, what’s going on at your end?’ he asked his future beta through a link.
‘Negative, we have no sightings of them yet.’ he replied. ‘Continue your search,’
‘You don’t need to say that,’ he replied, and cut the link. ‘Rapha, have you found them?’
‘Not yet; we’re still searching.’ he replied, ‘Alright, and please hurry.’
‘I know,’ Matteo sighed and continued running and following scents. He was far away when he received a mind link from James.
‘Matteo, I found them. You’re never going to believe what I am seeing now,’ he said. ‘Where are you?’
‘East, near the cliff we used to play on when we were kids,’ he replied. ‘That’s really outside the border!’ he exclaimed.
‘I know, so you better come fast now before you miss something.’ James said, and he ran as fast as he could while he mind-linked his father, Calvin, and Rapha. His Lycan was really fast and reached them in no time, only to be astounded. He saw Freya fighting two rogues while James and Camila were watching her.
‘Why the fu** are you not helping?’ he asked James. He looked at him and smiled before he answered,
“She didn’t want to because she wanted to vent her anger into something or someone.” He paused and looked at Freya once more before he continued, ‘And who am I going to help? Princess or the rogue that’s going to lose their heads?’
The others started to come too, and even if they wanted to help, they were also amazed at how Freya fought. The two rogues were down, and Freya was about to come to Camila when she stopped and shifted in mid-air, catching another rogue with her mouth who was aiming for Camila and James. What stunned us all was the fact that she was a silver wolf. As in silver, not a grayish color that will only make you think it was silver.
