Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna novel Chapter 26

Ch 26 Rogue

A rogue was chasing Thea.

She was alone in the woods.

This wasn’t good. The way the rogue was leering at her, she knew it had bad intentions, and it was gaining on her. He wasn’t far from tackling her. She faced forward and ran faster, as fast as she could. There should be patrols around the border and throughout the woods. With their werewolf hearing, someone should hear her scream. 

“Rogue!” she yelled at the top of her lungs.

She heard howls in the distance acknowledging her, and the wolf behind her hesitated then took off in the opposite direction. Within moments she was surrounded by patrol members and part of the Delta team, all in wolf form. She stopped running. Liam shifted to his human form to talk to Thea.

“Where?” Liam said. He was completely focused on Thea, not caring he was naked.

Thea pointed in the direction the wolf ran. The rest of Delta team took off in wolf form.

“What did you see?” Liam said. A few patrol members shifted and handed Liam a pair of basketball shorts they had stashed around. He put them on, and they did the same.

“I was jogging from the gates towards the pack house, heard something, saw a brown wolf chasing me. I didn’t recognize him, and he didn’t have a scent. When he heard your howls, he took off.”

Liam’s eyes glazed over as he mind linked the Delta team, relaying the information.

“If he masked his scent and knew our patrol schedules, that would explain how he got past the borders,” one of the patrolmen said.

Liam nodded. “I’m going to escort the Luna back to the pack house,” he said.

 “We’ll talk later when my men come back with a report. In the meanwhile, get everyone out to do a sweep of the entire pack lands. There could be others lying in wait.”

The patrolmen nodded, mind linked, shifted, and took off back to their posts.

Liam and Thea started walking toward the pack house.

“How were you here so quickly? Or at all?” Thea said.

“We were driving down the road to escort you. We heard your scream.”

“How would someone know our patrol schedules?” Thea said.

“That is the question I don’t like the answers to,” Liam said.

 “From spies, traitors, to organized surveillance, this is going to be a tricky investigation.” ‘

“We have to investigate our own.” 

It wasn’t a question. 

“Could it have been simple luck? A dumb rogue stumbled into our territory at the right moment?” She didn’t like thinking any of her pack members would want to hurt the pack.

“One that had the forethought to mask his scent? One that knew who you are? Waited for you.”

“We don’t know that he did.”
