Scarlett's pov:

"That is the fifth of them," I said while hanging the bodies up. 

    Since the last encounter with the rogues. They kept on appearing by the borders and telling us the same message over and over again. Just like always, we will kill them and hang them up to show our response to these useless threats. 

     If you're wondering how I manage to kill these many people without any regrets then let me tell you it's all about the protection of the pack.

     As much as I don't want to help the pack because my so called mate is in here, I have to think about the other members of the pack excluding Jaxon and Tammy of course. Plus, I wanted to end this 'unknown' threat so that I can get back to Heaven and continue grooming the unicorns and pegasus.

     Yes, we have unicorns and pegasus in Heaven. And no, you cannot ride them.   

"Really stupid to send someone inexperienced this time," Crystal said adjusting her mask. 

     Yes, you heard me, Crystal, the girl that would rather read books than party, and the girl that have killer looks but doesn't know how to flaunt them is now with us running around in creepy but cool outfits killing rogues.

     Apparently, Crystal took it really well when she had her first rogue kill. Although she did suffer from a minor shock, she improved a lot and had been coming out with us more often. 

     When we got her the equipment, she was more than ecstatic. Well to the mask compared to the others, saying that she finally have the legendary mask or something.

"I know right, and here I am thinking that they could have peed their pants earlier" Allison joined in

"Yeah, I mean Royal wasn't even in his true form and they were already screaming" Royal heard his name and he looked up at me before turning and running off somewhere else. 

     Not long later I saw a flock of birds flew out into the night sky, and there is that one particular bird way larger than the others flying behind trying to catch up with his four legs and little wings. 

"No more talking, we need to get moving before someone sees us" Allison butted in.

"Yes mother" I joked and walked back towards the house

"Royal you better be home before midnight and leave those birds alone!" all I got was a bark in return

*__*

Henry's pov:

     I still haven't seen Allison till this day. After the kiss we had. 

"It's not called a kiss! It's a full makeout session that I have every intention to continue if only her stupid twin didn't walk in on us!" Dakota whined in my head

     AS I WAS SAYING!  I even went to her house a few times, but never found the courage to step in, even when I did she wasn't there. 

     So here I am now, walking around the forest trying to clear my mind. 

     Walking around aimlessly I stripped ready to shift into my wolf for a night run when I heard some voices.

     Curiosity got the best of me. Running behind a bunch of bushes I crouched behind them. Peering over the leaves to find three figures a few feet away from me talking aimlessly.

     Dakota growled lowly, thinking that they were rogues until I sniffed the air. Nothing. 

"So what if they don't have a scent. Kill them, they are rogues"

"But we don't know if they are from the pack or what"

"Rogues could block their scents too, just kill them! Who knows if they are after Allison or what but I'm not risking any chances"

     Even if Dakota is right, I didn't make any sudden actions, I still need to make sure. They don't have any scents, and I can't see their face properly because of the lack of light. But I could tell that they were wearing masks. What are they doing?

     I noticed that they were around the trees. When I was about to jump out, they started talking causing me to crouch lower again

"That is the fifth of them," one said

"Really stupid to send someone inexperienced this time,"  why is that voice so familiar? I think I heard it somewhere before. 

     I racked my brain trying to remember the voice when they started moving around. They look like they were tying something. 

"I know right, and here I am thinking that they could have peed their pants earlier," a shorter one said

"Yeah, I mean Royal wasn't even in his true form and they were already screaming" Royal? As in Scarlett's and Allison's pet? Could they? No, it couldn't be. Scarlett and Allison wouldn't be out here in the middle of the night. Plus they don't know how to fight.

"No more talking, we need to get moving before someone sees us" well you are already seen

"Yes mother," one of them said and they start walking towards a direction. I don't know where they are headed to, but I know that it is the direction of the pack house!

     NO! The members would be in danger. How could the patrols let these rogues enter the territory? This isn't good at all. 

     I waited for a few more minutes and ran after them. But I lost track of them before I could do anything. It's just like they disappeared into thin air.

     Running back to the place they were earlier, I was disgusted with the scene in front of me.

     There it is, two dead headless bodies hanging from the trees, with their heads planted neatly by their side. Rogues. Rogues were this close to the border and nobody knew about it. As I looked closer, I noticed initials on the floor 'S.G'

     Pinching my nose to block out the decaying stench, turning around I shifted into my wolf and run to warn Alpha Daggers.

     Ladies and gentleman, I just witness the legends and they are girls...
