A Rouge's Discovery
Chapter 5
"Beta, we have a rogue on our territory," Sam, one of the patrollers, urgently mind-linked Lucas, the Beta of the Blue Blood pack. It was a message that sent a shiver down Lucas's spine, for the presence of rogues in their territory was always a matter of great concern.
"Shit, not again," Lucas thought as he received the message. Without hesitation, he made his way towards the pack's administrative office to inform their Alpha, David. Lucas understood the urgency of the situation and the potential dangers it posed.
Lucas knocked on the office door twice, hearing a low growl escape their Alpha's lips. He knew that the Alpha had a lot of responsibilities, and anything not crucial was typically handled by the Beta himself. However, this time, Lucas believed he needed to inform the Alpha and request his permission.
The door opened, and Lucas entered, taking uneasy steps and scratching the back of his neck as he stood in front of his Alpha. David never took his eyes off the paperwork spread before him.
"What is it?" David asked without looking up, his voice tinged with a hint of annoyance.
"Alpha, there was a rogue sighted on the east side of the territory," Lucas began, but he was quickly interrupted by the Alpha's harsh tone.
"Bring me the head," David commanded, his eyes finally rising to meet Lucas's.
Lucas understood the Alpha's frustration and the need to protect their territory, but something about this situation felt different. "Alpha, I think it's crucial to understand the rogue's intentions this time. I'd like your permission to investigate further."
David's gaze bore into Lucas, but after a moment of contemplation, he nodded in agreement. "Very well, Beta. Investigate, but do so swiftly."
Lucas nodded and left the office, knowing that the task at hand was fraught with uncertainties. He needed to determine the rogue's motives, and that meant approaching the situation with caution.
Lucas made his way towards a clearing in the dense forest, a few miles away from the pack houses. He could smell the distinctive and unpleasant scent of a rogue in the air. It was a smell that sent a chill down his spine, a reminder of the dangers lurking in the supernatural world. However, it was odd; he could only smell one rogue with three of the patrollers. As he got closer, he saw her.
A beautiful girl stood seemingly without a care in the world. Her dark eyes held so much power that Lucas nearly bowed his head in submission. Her long black hair was swept away by the soft wind, revealing her sharp yet beautiful features.
She was dressed in black military-style joggers that capped just above her ankles with ankle-length boots. Her fitting black V-neck top with short sleeves showed a bit of skin between where her joggers hugged her hips and where the top ended.
The clothes fit her perfectly, showcasing her fit body with ample muscle and curves. She stood with her arms folded across her chest, her expression giving nothing away. There was no fear in her eyes. The air around her held an indomitable authority that Lucas couldn't quite fathom. It only added to her dominant aura, even though the disgusting scent of the rogue filled the air. She didn't look like a rogue, but she certainly smelled like one, Lucas thought.
Lucas approached her cautiously, his instincts on high alert. "Do you know where you stand?" he questioned.
When she remained silent, he sighed, "You would be stupid to think you can come here as you please. But I don't think you're just a rogue." He paused, looking at her unchanging expression.
"Tell me, why are you here?" Lucas said, his voice slightly higher, searching for answers in her enigmatic gaze.
"I'm only here to take what's mine," Olivia replied finally. Her voice exuded power and authority, her eyes now directly locking onto Lucas's, who somehow managed to resist the urge to submit to her.
"And what would the Blue Blood pack have that a rogue would seek?" he asked, challenging her.
"My mate. I can smell him. Here," Olivia declared, her tone unwavering.
The puzzle began to piece itself together for Lucas. Her motives were now clearer—seeking her mate within the Blue Blood pack territory. Yet, her being a rogue, her unwavering confidence and audacity were truly extraordinary.
He sighed, "You are a fool if you think the Alpha would allow you to join the pack just because your mate is in it. He won't think twice before he snaps that little neck of yours."
She smirked at him, undeterred, and retorted, "Let him come with me then," a bold challenge in her words.
Lucas raised an eyebrow, studying her closely. "You're willing to face the Alpha, challenging his authority and risking your life for this mate of yours?"
Olivia's expression remained firm, conviction in her eyes. "He is my mate. I'll face any challenge to be with him."
Lucas sighed again, torn between his duty to the pack and this intriguing rogue standing before him. He knew she was playing a dangerous game, one that could have severe consequences for her. But something about her conviction tugged at him, made him question the established norms.
"If you're so determined," he started cautiously, "I'll take you to the Alpha. But I won't guarantee your safety."
She nodded, accepting the risk. Her determination was unwavering, and Lucas couldn't help but admire it in some strange way.
"Follow me," he said, leading her towards the heart of the Blue Blood pack's territory, knowing this meeting with Alpha David was going to be intense and possibly life-changing for them both.
