“Should you be telling me that?” I laugh. There’s really nothing I can hide from her. She reads minds. I guess the only question I have is how deep into the mind can she see or is it just the surface thought
“Well, you unintentionally told me a secret, so now we’re even, she shrugs. “That’s all I’m telling
Thanks,” I smile and turn back so she can see me putting my index finger to my lips. She gives me a single not
I pull my hood over my head and cover my mouth as I shut my eyes to focus on everything around me. There aren’t as many people as I thought there would be. I make sure she covers up her very distinctive features.
-Stay with me.- I tell her.
I remove my stun gun from its holster once again and begin to push towards the center of the compound. It’s late enough that most of the people present are likely asleep. However, rogues are insanely sensitive to intruders. It is literally what they re n for, surviving outside of the packs, and there are hundreds here. Each one is self–taught to survive by any
means.
-I’m not going to lie to you, your highness. Now that we’re here, I’ve talked myself into being scared.-
-I know. You’re scaring me, too. You think way too much. This is all instinct.-
-It is not.- I disagree.
It becomes instinct much later when it’s well–versed in our heads, but right now, I have every right to fear for our fives knowing we can probably kill our way out of here. Underestimating one of these things can be deadly. We both step bac into the shadows when we reach the row of villas that surround the dome.
I must admit that I am rather impressed with the thought that went into constructing all of this. There is no doubt in my mind that the Rogue King intended what these compounds now represent. What bothers me is that they likely ens because of the shady deals they have with the Alpha King. If something were to go wrong, the targets are way too easy
My hand lashes out when I feel his presence. I take a deep breath without taking my eyes off him have been armural thes man to know him simply by his presence alone. Every instinct in my body always screams threat, and I hate it. I hated farina around him when he came by the pack house. I avoided him like the plague. Although I always thought i was because of his position and mine.
-The Alpha King is here.- I inform Ragnar.
-Where?– he responds immediately. That’s impossible. He’s scheduled to be in Massachusetts today. It’s the only prasan we’re here.
-I’m looking right at him.-
A couple of rogues come out of the stronghold with towels and a robe I press my arta info Aurora’s belly when he tries move. I shake my head, just barely and continue to watch. This is something we definitely don’t want to mim, Aba W move and get spotted, we’re going to get hurt, even if we can get away. They i know were here.
This fucking omega is fucking everything up for us. Alexie one of the rogues growls
Who the fuck is Alexie? I ask, mostly myself.

My heart skips when steam begins to come off the Alphs King’s bare skin as he reins his clothes. The naan frses his muscles, the skin splits, and breaks apart when he left out a low, pain–filled howt

-Sophie, baby. What’s going on? Your mood is shifting.- Ragnar screams in my head with urgency.

-He’s a shadow wolf.- I say with disbelief. -Holy moonstones, Ragnar. There is no Alpha King or Rogue King. That’s a fucking shadow wolf. Those other rogues called him Alexie.-
By sheer chance, the man known as Alexie turns around to face in my direction as he takes the towel from the rogue who offers him a towel. He pulls what’s on his head off and tosses it on the ground just a few feet away from me. The face part and his hair part come right off. He wipes his face and lets out a heavy breath. I can’t really make out any of his features while he’s covered in blood.
“I hate this shit,” he says, reaching for the changing skin on his arms. “This meat suit is too tight. I would rather be Rhythe. Where is Aleks?”
“He should be here soon. You shouldn’t worry about him. Papa is very upset with you for losing control of that little girl. The other rogue hands him the robe.
“And what the fuck was I supposed to do? She belongs to them. Not just to any Lycan piece of shit, but to the King. If you had done your job properly, you would have been able to get Ivar,” he smacks him. “And none of this shit would have happened. If anyone is to blame, it’s you. You useless little sack of shit. The rest of us now need to fix your fuck up”
The three of them continue to argue about who is to blame. I quickly jump forward as soon as they’re out of sight and as disgusting as I find it, I pick up the face part of the skin suit and shove it into the front compartment of my backpack.
-I have a sample of his skin. The face part. How do I proceed? Do you still want me to go in there, or are we done here
-We’re done, baby. I’m headed back. Get back to your drop–off location as fast as you can. I am on my way-
The sound of footsteps closing in on us from all sides echoes in my ears. I look around and push my hoodie off my head and help Aurora pull hers to cover her face up a little more. Her build is bigger than mine. I pull her into me and wrap my arms around her neck so we can be as close as possible. Her eyes are wide, but she seems to understand what I’m trying to pull off because she tilts her head and begins to breathe heavily.
“Hey,” someone shouts. I rub my face on her shoulder before pulling away to look to see who is coming towards us. The woman shakes her head. “Get the hell out of here, you two. It’s going to be a rough night out. Go home.”
“Sorry,” the two of us say at the same time.
Aurora takes my hand and pulls me off a little roughly. The woman laughs and says something about stupid kids. We make i back to the gate. I make sure the camera is still out of service. It’s gone, likely to be replaced. The two of us get over the gate
as fast as we can.
-We’re out. I inform Ragnar.
-I’m almost there. Stay hidden.-
Aurora pulls me to her and pins me against a tree when the sound of steps in the wet soil comes from the direction we’re going in. They stop for a moment and then continue in the direction we came from. I recognize han immediately. The rogue king has a reputation for being something of a womanizer. He’s gorgeous. He stops once again and looks around, but sees nothing that interests him before he keeps moving. I can’t believe they re not real. How the fuck did that happen, and how has no one noticed before? How long has this been a thing?
I almost cry out when Aurora lifts me up. I don’t question it, I just wrap myself around her, and she takes off in a full vampire speed run. The truck comes to a stop not too far from us, and she takes no time in getting to it. As soon as we’re inside, she shuts us in, and the two of us take a couple of deep breaths, trying to process what we just goe
“That was-” she chokes out.

“Yup,” I nod.
“And he-”
‘He did, I swallow hard.
‘You touched it,” she squeaks with disgust.
I did,” I shut my eyes, trying not to think about it.
I hated that so much,” she lets out a sigh of relief once we’re away from the compound.

“They’re not real,” I whisper. I reach for my backpack and look inside to find that it wasn’t a figment of my imagination.
isa figment of my imagination too,” Aurora says quietly. “I didn’t know there were shifters that can do that.”
Alpha–ranked shadow wolves can do that,” I clear my throat. “The Kings use them for deep cover investigations. There are only six active families left, and none of them is Russian. I think there’s a new player on the board.”
