"Rogue.." i spat.

The tall and dark man, laughed.

He had dark brown hair, brown hollow eyes, and a visible scar slashed right across his neck. His jaw line was strongly outlined and his muscles prominent.

He looked at me with sheer predaceousness, a shiny glint in his hollow eyes, "Precisely." He gritted out.

Alpha Harris suddenly bolted out of his seat, calling out to his guards and sending them back to his territory.

We had just signed the alliance paper before he became wary and shifty.

"Alpha Harris," i boomed, towering over him, "What seems to be the problem?" I growled, taking offence.

The Alpha look at me with pure pain and hatred, "Rogues." He spat darkly, his once green eyes now pitch black.

Without hesitation, i mind linked my warrior clan's head, Prepare your warriors and send them to BloodFang territories, they're being attacked by rogues.

Yes, Alpha Aries. He complied.

I turned to Alpha Harris, "We should be on our way now. Reinforcements have been sent." I said.

He looked at me with gratitude, yet i could still sense the uneasiness in his demeanour.

I put my Third in command, Landon, in charge, as i ordered my Beta Jake to assemble a crew so we can head up north, to BloodFang territories.

The rogue started stalking towards me, closer, closer, and closer. Up until the point where he was merely inches away. Although i inwardly shook in fear, i didn't show the slightest emotion. I needed to stay strong, if not for me, for my pack.

I glared at him, looking straight through those dark hollow eyes as he easily sized me up. Suddenly his cold fingers trailed across my cheek, making me flinch, feeling a shiver crawl up my spine in response, as his mocking laugh filled the gym. Michael, Liz, and most of the pack growled, all starting to take action but i raised my hand to stop them. Michael took a defensive position, his body shaking with anger and pure fury.

"What is it that you want?" I inquired him harshly, stiffening.

"Well, it's simple really. We originally came for your land," he stated, as a matter-of-factly, pausing, "But then when i came, i saw something-" he paused, as he eyed me up hungrily, fiddling with the tip of my hair; "Or rather someone-" i pulled away forcefully with disgust evident in my eyes. "Much more worthy." He continued.

Something in me snapped, kicking into full alpha mode, "What if i strike you a deal?" I stated strictly, as i crossed my arms across my chest.

The rogue raised his eyebrow at me, with an amused shimmer in his eyes, "A deal, aye?" I heard echoing laughs all around, then i realised it. Rogues. All around. Guarding the exits of the gym.

How did they get in?

What are you doing? Michael yelled through mind link.

Shush. I scolded him.

"Yes." I spat through gritted teeth.

"What makes you think that you can negotiate?" He inquired mockingly.
