"They were attacked by rogue wolves." Alpha Mount said and Tess felt her blood boiling. She wanted to storm into the unmarked territories and find each and every single rogue she could see and kill them all till they remained none. Too bad, she didn’t have the powers to do that to anyone. She was a weak alpha wolf, the sad reality of her future was making her cry.

"Rogue wolves huh? they did this right?." She scoffed irritatedly, she should have known that they were making too much noise lately and they should have been expecting them. Bunch of bastards, all of them. She would find all of them and make them pay for everything, she might not have a wolf but she sure had a spirit they can’t match with.

"I'll make them pay, they'll pay for killing Kayla, they'll pay for everyone they've victimized." She said angrily and everyone knew she meant every word she'd said. Though she hadn't gotten her wolf, her strength was unfathomable. She looked like a force they wouldn’t be able to deal with.

"Take their corpses away, we need to determine the cause of their deaths." Alpha Mount ordered. Jason and some of the other pack warriors stepped forward and they took the corpses away. The rest waited, to hear whatever their alpha has to say and determine the next line of action.

"It's clear they were killed with silver." Tess said, only silver was strong enough to make a wolf like Kayla an easy target for all of them to kill in that manner. The more she saw the image of Kayla on the floor in her head, the more she got mad.

"It's either silver or wolfsbane." Wendy suggested, walking closer to Tess, she'd been in the crowd all along. Tess took a pause, administering wolfsbane was as dangerous to the person giving it and the person applying it too. They were both at risk and she doubted if it would be wolfsbane but she kept her theory to herself. She wasn’t in the mood for a theory examination currently.

"Do not conclude yet, we still need to examine the corpses." Alpha Mount stated and they nodded.

"You can go home now, I'll be sure to get to the root of all these, those that lost their loved ones, my condolences, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. From now onwards, no one is allowed to leave the pack or come into the pack by 8pm." Alpha Mount addressed the crowd.

“Curfew starts by 8pm, everyone is obliged to abide by the rules, if anyone is caught trespassing, you wouldn't wanna know your punishment. I would rather have a pack filled with rule abiding wolves than a pack with wolves disrespected and killed. Till we get to the root of this, no one goes in or some out. No one goes to empty places for meditation or other whatnots, do it in your room. I hope I was clear enough?." He asked with his voice carrying so much alpha authority and they all had no choice but to submit to him, they swore their allegiance to him.

"Yes Alpha!." The crowd yelled, since he's already done speaking, they all departed to their various houses, with heavy hearts. They don’t know what's happening or who the next target might be.

"Come with me Tess." Alpha Mount said and he left, Tess trailed behind him.

ROGUES ORGANIZATION (Night time)

As heavy as the wind is, the sky was mercilessly dull, turning the cloud into a pit of darkness. And due to the weather, many didn't go out as they feared getting wet by rain drops. But then, there was no rain, just an awkward night with its chilling breeze. The moon shone brightly, radiating over the dark night. Collins climbed up to the highest mountain, where he could see them all.

"Ah rroooooo!!!” He howled with all his might and when he finished, he watched the other rogue wolves rush out of their various huts, adhering to their leader's call to action. They immediately went on their knees when they saw Collins on the mountain. He sat there in his wolf form, gazing proudly at them for what had happened today.

Today was indeed a great day for them, they've managed to disrupt the Evergreen pack, and this has added more scores to them. They were going closer to their dream and very soon, the would achieve their goal, but for now they would bask in their win tonight. They would take pride in taking a strong werewolf pack unaware and they took out a couple of their power hands. It wasn’t an easy task but they did it.

It was a day of celebration, the Supreme Queen would be gracing their pack with her humble presence. Collins jumped down from the high mountain, he was a fully trained werewolf so it was easy for him to do that.

"Get the drums ready, Supreme Queen will be here soon." He announced as soon as he changed back to his human form and he took the shorts from one of his brothers. He walked away from the celebrations and went back to his cottage to get ready for the supreme queen’s coming. He couldn’t wait to tell her what he had done today with his brothers.

Some werewolves unveiled the huge drum because it was covered with a veil, they took the drum sticks, then banged it on the drum and it released a loud noise. By the time Collins got back, they were drumming in celebration already and he knew the supreme queen would be here anytime soon. He kept on looking around and waiting for her to come. She had gone to heaven knows where and she was due to be back tonight.

They felt her before they saw her, the cold breeze and the soft hum of her favorite nightingale. They all went down on their knees and their heads glued to the ground. Collins laid flat with his eyes shut, not everyone was worthy of seeing the supreme queen. She was a woman they can’t face let alone talk with. She was too pure for any of them and until the world was pure and she cleansed them when she was sure no one would contaminate them, they would remain impure to see her.

A lady dressed in a white clothing walked into their midst, her subordinates also dressed in white clothing were trailing behind her. She had a shiny white veil draped all over her face and yet she still moved effortlessly without any problem. They call her the supreme queen, the main head of the Rogues Organization and it was a title she relished a whole lot. Her dress was made of the finest silk and her beautiful shape was in full display. For a woman who had lived a little above a thousand years, her beauty was still as ravishing as a young woman. She barely aged above twenty and the illuminations that lived in her body was enough for anyone not to stare.

"Come with me Collins." Her angelic voice said, the other werewolves were almost tempted to look, but they just couldn't, the last person who did that was already six feet under. Disrespecting her would make her impure and would stand in the way of the common goal they all share against the pack structure. Their dreams would die and no one wanted to orchestrate that.

Shantel felt her blood boiling when the Supreme Queen asked Collins to come with her, this has been going on for years now. She loved Collins and even though they weren’t mated, Shantel had always hoped they would end up together. But not with the way the supreme queen has a special thing for Collins. Rumors have it that Collins has seen her face before but he neither confirmed nor denied it. He simply would not talk about her if she wasn't there, soon everyone learned that they weren’t permitted to talk about the supreme queen at any point in time.

Collins trudged after the supreme queen while she floated gracefully leading him to her palace. He couldn’t call what she was doing walking because it made no sound and she did it so gracefully that it felt more like floating through the corridors with so much poise and grace. He had always worshiped her since he knew her and he would continue to as long as he is breathing.

When they got to the dark path of the corridors, Collins waited. She went in alone and he waited for her guards to come back and take him to her. She only saw him in person and alone. She said it was a reward for being her best man. The organization was going smoothly because of the dedication of the likes of him to seeing the goals are achieved, they were closing in on the wolves and it was good news.. The supreme Queen was happy about it and so was he.

"You did well Collins, you've managed to kill some werewolves, I hope you were able to steal their wolves?." She asked with a knowing smirk, she knew Collins would do just that. Killing a wolf was useless but taking their will and their wolf as a trophy was something more beautiful. The queen enjoyed it and Collins was starting to enjoy it too.

"Yes I did." Collins replied, still dazed. Even after working with her for a long time, he still found himself getting lost in her pool of attraction that served as both refreshment and punishment to the gazer. Collins had no way to describe the queen or her magical beauty but he knew she was someone you can’t form an opinion against nor deviate from her word. Her face was mesmerizing.

Her beauty is enchanted and charmed. No one knew how she gathered them but they surely knew how she preserved the beauty and kept herself from again. She had been in this same form for over a thousand years and she got more beautiful with each pretty creature that died in the hands of her or her minions. She took the women to be her own target, especially the ones with royal beauty.

"Give me their wolves. I presume you bottled them as usual" She asked with a smile and she looked as enchanting as usual. Collins reached into his pocket and he pulled out the bottle he had kept for the supreme queen, he shook the bottle and he could see the spirits moving against each other in the bottle. He earned a chuckle from the queen who stretched her hands and he dropped the bottle into them. She smiled, immediately the bottle vanished from her hands and Collins knew wherever she had sent it, it was safe.

"You did well Collins." She praised and he nodded. He knew he did exceptionally well today even without the supreme queen’s approval. He was satisfied with himself and what he had done. It was relaxing, they were steps closer to their goal.
