Chapter 90
While she had ordered for him to never step foot back into her house, she had never mentioned anything about sleeping outside it. However, since he didn’t wish to face any more of her wrath and risk upsetting her or worsening the situation further, he made a point of leaving before she woke up to discover him.
Unfortunately, that thought very quickly vanished from his mind as he came to an abrupt stop, able to sense that something was not quite right. Despite having reached the border of their pack, Marcellus stilled and mind linked all the wolves to follow his lead as the scent of rogues wafted through the air toward them.
“We’re going to get caught.” The first voice sounded quietly as he whispered harshly.
“Why are you so fucking negative all the time?” A second, gruffer and harsher voice sounded as the crunching of twigs and branches from under them sounded louder as they got closer.
Marcellus pressed his index finger against his lips as he glanced over his shoulder.
If any of you make a sound, I’ll personally see to it that you do a hundred laps around the perimeter of the forest. He growled through the mind link, making sure to emphasise on every word so all of them would understand just how serious he was.
Luke, Arnold and Amir. He called out the first three names that came to mind. Go around the back but don’t get caught.
Yes, Alpha! All three of them responded almost instantly, more than willing to help out the Alpha.
The rest of the wolves followed his lead as they hunched low to keep out of sight, waiting for their prey to make their way into their vision and direct line of attack. It was evident that whatever these rogues were doing, they were clearly not paying attention or they would have been able to scent out that they weren’t the only wolves on the other side of the border.
The seconds stretched out as they passed and the previously muffled voices now got louder as the two rogues continued bickering until finally, they came into view.
Marcellus’ eyebrows rose in surprise and confusion as what he had previously assumed to be two simple rogues turned out to be two kidnappers; the latter evident as one of them carried an unconscious female over his shoulder, not even bothering to be gentle with her as they ran through the trees, the branches scratching over her bare arms and legs.
Finally rising to full height, Marcellus crossed his arms over his chest and cocked a questioning brow as he moved to stand in front of the two wolves, silently daring them to continue trespassing so close to his pack borders.
Both of their eyes widened but before either of them could try and escape, the three wolves from earlier already had them covered from behind. Before either of the rogues could even question what was going on, they were detained by Luke and Arnold, twisting the rogue’s arms behind their backs.
“And what’s going on here?” Marcellus whistled lowly as he clasped his hands together behind his back with a mock thoughtful expression on his face, glancing between both of the rogues who were clearly trying to get away with a kidnap attempt; their hostage currently unconscious.
Both of the rogues gulped and turned their heads to face each other, almost as if mind linking each other which couldn’t be possible as they were rogues and not pack wolves.
Marcellus’ frown deepened as he continued to watch them silently communicate with each other and without warning, he growled loudly, not the least bit pleased or appreciative of the fact that they had just ignored him. As if he wasn’t worthy of their time.
“What should we do with them, Alpha Marcellus?” Amir asked as he held the unconscious female in his arms asked, a concerned look on his face as he awaited further instruction
Marcellus frowned as he appraised the situation, unable to comprehend exactly what they had just walked in on.
The way that had coincidentally stumbled across these rogues in the process of kidnapping a she-wolf whom none of them recognised – making it clear that she wasn’t from the Lupum Griseo pack – almost seemed easy. Too easy.
His frown deepened as he struggled to wrap his mind around the situation, none of it truly making sense. As well as being caught, neither of them had put up much of a fight but rather, threw around weak punches and blows which caused minimum damage; Almost as if they wanted to be caught.
“Put them in the dungeon.” He instructed in a loud, firm voice, making sure to make eye contact with both of the rogue, a dark, promising look in his eyes.
He still didn’t quite understand what had happened or what was going on, or even what these wolves were trying to pull as it was clear this wasn’t the typical kidnapping attempt, but he was determined to get to the bottom of it, even if it was the last thing they did.
