Chapter 74
The room lapsed into silence again hearing about Angelina’s words.
What she was saying about the Rogue King got everyone intrigued.
“You know the Rogue King personally?” Glen asked. “What is the Rogue King like? We know so little
about this person that we aren’t even sure about the person’s gender.”
“And neither do I. Rogue King is quite a mysterious person. Like the God to rogues, everyone had Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
heard about the name, but none had seen the guy in person. I think the
Rogue King did this on purpose. The aura of mystery and intrigue reinforces its supremacy.”
Angelina walked over and sat down by Janet’s side.
“Tell us more,” Maxie demanded eagerly. “What else do you know about this guy?”
“All I heard are rumors. The Rogue King wasn’t born to be a ruler. Unlike us, the rogues don’t have a
clear system of inheritance—”
“But we don’t either,” Jeff frowned. “We only chose to follow our Alphas because they are strong and
capable.”
“Yet they had their Alpha bloodline, which gives them the Alpha aura. That’s why in our society, the
Alpha family’s offspring are destined to be the strongest ones.
Janet nodded approvingly.
Before she was claimed back to Blood Moon Pack, she too was a weak girl who had nothing to fight
back against her bullies. Her Alpha aura was awakened once she claimed her last name back and that
gave her strength and power.
Of course, her becoming the Gamma had a lot to do with her tough training. But she couldn’t have
done it without her aura.
Steven clicked his tongue impatiently, “So now you are giving us a history of Werewolf inheritance?
How is this related to the Rogue King?”
“I am just getting to my point,” Angelina said. “Rogues are mostly commoners, including the Rogue
King himself. Most of them don’t have a strong physique and trained fighting skills like we do. And that
guy didn’t become the King because he is a great warrior or anything…He depends on his mind.”
“You meant that he is smart?” Steven asked.
“More than smart, the Rogue King is cunning, manipulative, and witted. There once were two groups of
rogues who weren’t happy with his reign. Instead of attacking them both, the King managed to turn
them against each other and let them take care of themselves. Don’t you see the issue here? He is
doing the same to you guys!”
An awkward silence fell upon the room.
Steven moved uneasily in his seat. He opened his mouth wanting to challenge Angelina back, but no
words came out.
“Planting a mole among us is no big deal. Sooner or later, we will dig the mole out. But he has gotten
you to distrust your fellow soldiers, and that is the scariest part.” Angelina said with a stern voice, “The
rogues are not as trained as we do. But we must watch out for their dirty schemes.”
ULLUVULIVA
Maxie, Janet, and Glen all nodded with approval. Yet Steven still seemed unconvinced.
“That was a lot of pretty words you said, but how does that help with our current situation?” he snorted.
“We are about to discuss our next move. Should we exclude anyone from this discussion? If we should,
who do we exclude?”
Angelina said, “We can learn from the Rogue’s wit. Choose a leader from this alliance and follow his or
her orders with no questions asked. And the leader only shares parts of the battle plan with the
subordinates. This way we can keep the mole from knowing too much.”
The Gammas looked at one another.
“That is actually not a bad idea,” Jeff shrugged. “I guess we do need a leader sooner or later. And I
vote for Alpha Daran. Riverside Pack was the first to propose this alliance. And I am willing to follow his
command.”
“Me too,” Glen said. “He has the experience.”
“And ability,” Maxie added.
Janet looked towards Daran with a smile. Her eyes gleamed brightly, “I trust him with my full heart.”
Daran looked back at her, his gaze soft.
“Alright, you love birds!” Jeff cried and turned towards Steven, “That leaves you to vote man. Are you
with us or not?”
“I don’t see what other choices I have. It’s 4 against 1 no matter what,” said Steven grumpily.
“Alright! It settles then,” Jeff clapped his hands together. “Alpha Daran is officially our new leader.”
“But what about the pack business? Can you leave Riverside for that long?” Janet asked.
Daran nodded, “The elders can manage. They can shoot me a message whenever something urgent
comes up…Now. Let’s get back to our next move.‘
He tapped his finger on the map.
“Tomorrow at dawn we will leave for Crimson Fortress. We don’t have much time. So get your soldiers
ready,” he said.
“What about the mole?” Steven asked.
“I’ll figure out a plan,” Daran replied with a deadpan face.
“What plan? Don’t tell me you are just going to leave it–”
“You have just agreed to take my orders with no questions asked. And it is how this ruse works,” Daran
said icily. “Don’t make me repeat myself again and again.”
Steven’s jaw tightens. He quivered away from Daran’s gaze.
“The meeting is dismissed,” Daran said.
All Gammas stood up and filed out through the door. Janet was behind Angelina. When they came out
to the hallway, she was stunned to find a woman sitting on the
bench outside
It was Harper.
Harper seemed even more worn out than the last time Janet saw her. She was nibbling her nails and
murmuring something hysterically. Janet vaguely caught a few words like “Luna” “bitch” and “go to hell.”
“Do you take her with you everywhere?” Janet asked Angelina.
“I kinda have to. She needs a guardian. Or the minute I am gone,
she snaps,” Angelina frowned, “Truth be told, I am not sure if she is faking it to let my guard down. So I
have to keep a close eye on her.”
“Umm, yeah. But your situation is a bit tricky…” Maxie replied reluctantly.
“I have the smith crafted a pair of artificial hands for me. So don’t worry. I can keep myself safe.”
“No problem. Thank you for this opportunity. I promise to be useful,” Angelina smiled.
“Could be anyone,” Janet shook her head.
“I just kept wondering in my head,” Maxie looked around them and lowered her voice. “Hey, does
Steven look suspicious to you? He seemed really jumpy since yesterday.”
Janet bit her lips and said nothing.
Angelina told them to forget about their doubts and work together.
But could they really do it?
Suspicion is a part of human nature. Even though they all shook hands on Daran being the leader, who
knew what everyone had been thinking internally?
Till the mole was dug out, this alliance would still be at stake.
Plus, Janet had her dark secret with her…About Kass and his rogue identity.
It was like an active bomb that could blow up at any second.
