Chapter 57

Alpha Blake
It didn’t take long for Luca to come back to my office with Ga*ma Connor. I wanted to look into everything before making the decision to send my warriors. If these rogues are acting like a pack, maybe they were one. While I was waiting for Luca, I emailed a request to the council for a list of all packs that have been taken over. I asked for all to not raise suspicion. I’m sure Alpha Dorian has people in the council building.
I was in the middle of explaining this to Luca and Connor when my father entered my office.
“Shouldn’t you be keeping an eye on mom?” I asked him.
“She went shopping with some friends. So, now I can be useful. What do we know so far? And where is Alpha Dorian?” He questioned, looking around the room.
“I gave him and his men rooms. None of this is making much sense, Dad. Why would rogues work as a pack and only attack warriors.” I pondered.
“And they have killed twenty-five warriors compared to the one rogue they have killed,” Luca told him.
“This is not random attacks. They are going after his warriors. Did you ask him?” Connor asked.
“I did. He said he didn’t know why they would be targeting his pack.” I answered.

“Well someone is lying. They may be rogues now, but I suspect these rogues were all a part of the same pack. And they are holding a grudge against Alpha Dorian.” My father said. And we all agreed with him.
“I requested a list of all takeovers from the council. But in the meantime, what do you think we should do?” I asked them.
“I think you should send some warriors. If this is about attacking warriors in their pack then they won’t touch ours. We can try to capture one and ask them what this is all about.” My father suggested.
“I know for a fact our warriors are better-trained but we don’t know the
area. It puts us at a disadvantage. But let’s see if there is a pattern to the attacks.” Connor said.
I grabbed a map while Luca opened the email that was sent over by Alpha Dorian’s beta. After placing a sticky note on each attack area and dates, there didn’t seem to be a pattern. They would hit, north, west, south, then west again. But there was never an attack on the east.
“What about this area?” I pointed to the map.
“Let me pull up a satellite image of the area,” Luca said. He was sitting behind my desk, working off my computer. I looked over his shoulder as he typed away until an image of the area was loaded.
“Look there,” he pointed at the screen and the other two came over to look as well.
“There’s a canyon with a river. There also isn’t very much cover in the area. The rogues must know this area is dangerous.” Luca told us.
“Or there aren’t any warriors patrolling there. No one could jump over the river banks and climb up. The sides look fairly smooth.” Connor said, observing the images.

“I don’t think the goal is to get into the pack. If this area is under protection and these rogues know the area then it would make sense for them to enter here. I think they want to attack the Warriors. They want their presence known.” My father said.
“Connor, you and your team, head out tomorrow to the pack. Get a feel of the situation. Talk with warriors who have been a part of the earlier attacks. And in a few days, I’ll visit the pack. And hopefully, they will leave some kind of a message.”
“I’ll get the team ready to leave tomorrow morning,” Connor said before leaving my office. I flopped down in a chair in front of my desk. Luca was still typing away on the computer.
“Son, what’s bothering you?” My father asked, he was sitting beside
me.
“The alpha seemed distracted.”
“I noticed that as well. After you spoke to him yesterday his beta called me. He seemed grateful for our help. And today, his ga*ma seemed more grateful than Alpha Dorian.” Luca added.
“He could just be stressed. We don’t know what else could be happening in his life.” My father defended. But something just didn’t feel right.
“Dad!” Aspen yelled through the link.
“Dad, we need you. Someone just broke into Ryley’s house. She told us to run.”
“Get men to Ryley’s house,” I yelled out, standing up from my seat.
“Aspen, I’m on my way. Tell me what happened.” I rushed through the link.

“I don’t know, she told us to run. Dad, something is wrong.” He exclaimed.
“Are you hurt?” I yelled but I didn’t get an answer. Gunner let out a murderous growl as I ran out of the pack house.
“Blake, what happened?” Luca called to me, as he followed.
“I don’t know.”
A few of my warriors, met up with us as we ran in the direction of Ryley’s place. My heart was pounding against my chest as panic filled me. I heard growls, before the sound of shattering glass. There was a loud yelp before the scene came into a few.
A big black wolf was attacking a smaller black and white wolf. The smaller wolf had a piece of wood embedded in its side. The front window of the house was broken and the railing of the porch. The smaller wolf, only took its eyes off the black one to pull the piece of wood from its side.
The black one was about to pounce when two massive wolves jumped out from behind the house. One was black with some grey and the other was white. They blocked the smaller one. I knew the black one was Aspen. He had shifted early.
The black one shifted revealing Alpha Dorian. My warriors instantly surrounded him. He held up his hands in surrender.
“What the hell is going on?” I demanded.
“Always making things difficult, Evelyn,” he growled, as I rushed over. My son and the other wolf growled, baring their teeth to the alpha. Evelyn?
“F*ck you,” I turned to find the smaller of the wolves had shifted back

into Ryley. I could barely see her as my son and the other wolf stood over her. The white wolf shifted and Channing was now standing over his mother, protecting her.
“Stay the f*ck away from my mother!
