wolves other lifetime also. The real name is royal pledge. Sure it’s a couple of words to be said, but you have to really mean it in order for it to work.

‘What do you think?’  Derek asked through the now completed bond. The bond is the connection between the royal- the one the pledge was made to- and the pledgist, the one who pledged. The bond is like a mind link in a pack but stronger.

 I couldn't help but smile, a real smile as tears of joy streaked down my cheeks.

“So shall we walk into our new lives” he smirked holding out his hands towards me. I wiped my tears away, my last tears.

“We shall” I took his hand.

We were all still shocked processing the news. But we can’t just stand here. I thought snapping out of it.

“I want fifteen warriors, two trackers and two doctors to get ready” I ordered. “Are we seriously going to go there?” a warrior asked as we all met outside followed by many other protests.

“Enough.” I growled on edge. “Yes, we need to find out whom or what did this and see if they are nearby. We need to know if our pack is in danger” Luke answered before turning towards me. “Everything is ready alpha”

“Good, let’s go” I started towards the forest.

 “Wait!” I heard a desperate high pitched voice. I turned around to see Paige coming towards me before she jumped into my arms and kissed me, she was going to go deeper but I pulled her back. She pouted but otherwise didn't comment.

“Be safe” she gave me one last peck, before going back into the pack house. I turned towards the group, “Alright lead the way” I told the two trackers.

They started walking and sniffing out the previous scents. Soon we were out of our pack’s border.

We followed the trackers and came into a clearing. But they weren't here, no bodies nothing just lingering scents. I smelled the air and saw the trail didn't end here.

“It smells like they were running” one of the trackers spoke still smelling “but then they all went towards one place near here” he said confused. “I don’t know maybe the water is messing with the scent.” Maybe, maybe not.

Why would they go somewhere near here all together if they were running? I smelled the air following the trackers and saw he was right. There was also two scent lingering, one a sweet aroma and another stench of a rogue.

Somewhere along the way I could smell blood. I looked towards my warrior ‘spread out use stealth’ I mind linked them. They nodded and spread out to surround the area.

We came closer to a clearing and the stench of blood became stronger. I was about to jump in when one of my man yelped knocking me off my feet into the clearing.

“What the hell?!” I turned to face the culprit, but he was staring in horror at something near him. I looked and saw it was a bodiless hand. What the-

“Alpha you've got to see this” I turned my attention away from the hand. Getting up turning and facing the clearing, I paled at what I saw.

Blood and body parts were there everywhere. There were also two of the girls that I sent out, one without a head. I looked around and saw her head by one of the men. There were pretty much two girls and three dead men in the clearing, the rest of them were in bits and pieces.

“Alpha” Luke called me over staring at something. A tree?

I got closer and saw a heart in front of that tree, it was very much damaged. I paled. “Is that......” I trailed off looking towards Luke. “It may be” he sighed.

Chris's heart.

I still don’t know how he got back alive, especially when I see his heart right here and pretty much destroyed.

Staring at Chris’s heart another thing caught my attention on the tree where Luke was staring at. I looked closer and found it was a V and S interloping carved into the tree.

“That’s another thing I found” he pointed at the carving no doubt made by the one who killed them.

“Alright clear out this clearing, pack up the bodies-” My command was interrupted by a feral growl. I turned alert and saw one rogue. Luke quickly sprang into action breaking its neck, it fell on the ground dead.

“He can’t be the one who killed them” I stared at the rogue lying dead in human form.

Soon I heard another growl and saw one of my pack warriors fighting off two more rogues. The others quickly helped him to kill the rogues. They can’t be the ones, who killed my pack members either.

“I see what’s going on now” Luke said in realization.

“What is it?” I turned to him.

“Their screams and now the smell of their blood are attracting the rogues" he stated.

“Shit, hurry up and pack the bodies before more come” I commanded. If we stay here any longer we might get killed, who knows how many more rogues are on their way here?

“Someone take pictures” I commanded.

Soon we were on our way back- Body bags and all- All I hope is that we didn't miss any of the body parts for any rogues to maul on but it’s possible. What kind of monster would do this?

I'm wondering if they ever found Violet or died before finding her. Is she dead? Did whoever or whatever did this get to her? Is she hurt or dead? No, I would have felt it through the bond.

Damn it! My wolf is rubbing off on me about her.

I looked at the picture of the mark on the tree.

I will make sure of whoever did this will pay.

“We don’t know whether he really is a threat to our packs” one Alpha spoke staring me down.

“What do you mean? That mutt killed my trackers! Tortured and killed, most were in pieces!” I snarled. How dare they tell me that the rogue isn't any danger?

“Well Alpha, what were your trackers doing on no man’s land? If I remember correctly you sent them out knowing the dangers for reasons unknown to us” another alpha snarled back. Alpha meetings are a bust.

You’ve got alphas from around the world, each wanting dominance and respect. No wonder we have them once a year. Alphas in one single place is a much no no.

But now were discussing about the rogue, no one knows how he looks like. All we know is that he goes around killing rogues and even some pack members. We know it’s the same person, because of the mark. The same mark I found years ago near my dead trackers. No one knows what the V and S meant.

I don't get why the alphas aren't trying to stop him. Sure the rogue mostly killed rogues but he killed other pack member also- Well other than my trackers. He has the ability to go through our territories easily without being caught which infuriates me. He could pounce on us any time he wants that too without us even knowing it.

Looking around at the alpha’s I just growled in defeat.

“As we were saying” the previous alpha continued “we don’t know whether he is really a threat to our packs or he only kills other rogues and traitors. Never has he attacked a pack even when passing through our territories unless they are rogues or as we found out traitors to our packs.” he finished.

“That’s true, I found a group of dead rogues on my territory one day, with his mark nearby. We never knew they were there. And judging by their location and camp they were planning to attack” another alpha spoke up.

“I found one of my trackers dead that day but evidence showed he was smuggling information to a rival pack.” He glared towards another alpha who glared back.

“Whoever he is, we are in his debt. The numbers of the rogues have been decreasing and attacks are even less frequent, especially in this location. Traitors have also been taken care of if found by him.” I clenched my jaw in anger.

In debt? He killed my pack members! These alphas are out of their minds. “How do you know one day that the rogue won’t turn against us? We don’t know who he is, heck we don’t even know how he looks” I spoke out.

“We don’t. That’s why we are also cautious of him; and if this is about your pack members they could have threatened him is some way. We all know how we get with rogues. But why were your trackers in no man's land? Where there that many dangerous rogues lurking around near your pack? Are you ready to tell us your reason yet Alpha Trent?” another alpha snarled. We both went into a little stare down tension clear in the air.

Suddenly someone barged in. We all turned our heads towards the culprit. He looked confused for a second.

“What is it?” the alpha I was having a stare down with, demanded.

The man seemed to regain some sense. “Alphas this came in” he said and held out his hand, holding an envelope. An envelope bearing the rogues mark. I couldn't help the hate that went through me.

Sure I sent them there knowing the dangers. But I never knew such a vile creature was there. Filthy rogue tortured them, even if they were pack members. They couldn't have threatened him, they were specifically ordered to find her without any distractions.

Besides this rogue scum shouldn't even be allowed to live. His mere existence causes trouble. My trackers should have had every right to kill them and not the other way around.

Her scent was nearby along with the other rogues. I still couldn't figure out a connection other than the impossible one; she did it. Yeah right, it must have been the rogue nearby.

It’s been a year, and we still haven't found her. I know she's not dead. I can feel she's still alive. But it feels like she dropped from the face of the Earth, not to mention the killings happening all around by this rogue.

This rogue kills all other rogues in its path, even tortures. But never attacks the pack members and if he does they are always found as traitors or have committed a crime. Not only that but he can slip in and out of your territory without even you knowing. Unless you find a rogue's dead body somewhere in your
