Chapter 144 The Rogue King’ Choice

**Ethan’s POV

‘Alpha, we saw a large pack of rogues nearby,’ Richard used the mind-link to tell me what was happening.

He had returned from patrol and was still in his wolf form as he came to a stop in the middle of camp, breathing heavily. ‘They’re headed in this direction.’

Immediately, I snapped to attention. “How many?” | asked.

He shook his head. ‘At least one hundred, maybe more.’

“Almost the same size as us,” Talon said, his eyebrows furrowed.

Rogues, they seemed to be everywhere, and there were so many different packs of them. They could show up at any moment, and we’d be forced to defend ourselves.

The further north we went, the more cautious we had to be, and the more concerned I grew for Rosalie. How would she be able to navigate amongst those ruthless monsters with a baby all by herself?

The only thing that was comforting was that I could still feel the pull of my child, and I prayed to the Moon Goddess every

day to keep them safe.

When we were within twenty miles of the border of the northern territory, I sent Samuel and Richard out to scout the area. I didn’t want to move without making sure that we had done a thorough check of where we were going.

Not because I was afraid, but because I had other priorities, and I didn’t want to waste time and energy.

Samuel, who returned with Richard in his wolf form, jumped in. ‘But these are no ordinary rogues. They’re savages. We saw them rip their preys’ bodies to shreds after killing them for no reason. I mean, rogues are rogues, but those are the worst I’d ever seen.’

‘Their leader is a she-wolf,’ Richard continued. ‘We got a good look at her. She looks… deranged, like some sort of a lunatic. She beat up one of her own wolves just because he killed that victim too soon. Afterwards, she tore the victim’s dead body open and dragged his organs and intestines out… they all came over to lap up his blood. It was… it was gross.’

I could only stare at them for a moment, trying to understand what we were dealing with. It sounded like a pack that wouldn’ t fight fair or follow the usual rules of battle- even rogue rules.

“You said they were coming our way?” 

“That’s right. I don’t know why, but it seems to me that she’s looking for something. That’s why they are working their way

village by village.”

“I thought the White Queen was looking after those villages?”

“Alpha,” Richard shifted back to his human form. He was a tough warrior, but from his look, I could tell he didn’t even want to talk about what he had seen. “There were no survivors in those villages. Women, children, even animals. None.”

Vicky gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. Paul immediately wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him.

“Alpha, there are two more villages behind us. Shall we…” Vicky murmured.

I knew what she wanted to ask. Shall we stay and fight off the rogues? Talon and Paul both looked at me, waiting for my decision.

“Talon, ask everyone to shift and get ready to fight. Be prepared for anything. Vicky, be careful.”

“Vicky will stay with me!” Paul tightened his grip on Vicky. Talon patted Paul on the shoulder. He knew Paul could protect her with his life. However, that didn’t mean he wasn’t still concerned for his younger sister, especially against these savage wolves.

“Yes, Alpha. We have over a hundred and twenty now, we should be able to hold them off!” Talon replied.

Ever since Single Eye joined me, in the past few weeks, more groups came to me. Those who challenged me, I put to their eternal death, and they were no longer my concern. The rest volunteered to regard me as their leader.

They called me the Rogue King.

It didn’t matter to me what they called me, especially when that made it easier for me to navigate in the northern territories,

However, soon after the order was given, I heard Single Eye protested against Talon, “What the f*ck?! Why do we need to fight with them? Just let them pass, man! Why do we need this trouble?”

“Because if you don’t fight them, you’ll need to fight me!” | growled.

Single Eye stared at me, and as I stared back, he shrinked and backed away. 

“Fine!” he muttered. He was obviously not happy about my decision, but he dared not argue further.

Within minutes, we all got our belongings ready to go in case we needed to move out quickly before we stripped and shifted. Then, I got my battlelines ready, and we stepped further into the forest in the direction Samuel and Richard had said the rogues were spotted in.

Within a few minutes, red glowing orbs began to appear between the trees. They were here.

As they came running at us, my warriors prepared for impact, getting low and slipping into battle positions. I was in front, and a large male wolf with light gray fur was headed right for

1. me. 

Across the way, I saw Vicky and Paul. He was doing his best against two wolves while Vicky was trying to help, but the rogues were so large and menacing, she was losing her stand.
