The Alpha’s Little Rogue

Chapter 63

Chapter 63 Caden’s POV I’m seated at my desk in the office when the knock comes. “Come in,” I say, sitting up straight and pushing the file in front of me away in favor of another one. The door opens, revealing Raphael and…my late mate’s family. I bolt out of my seat and round my desk. “What happened?” I ask, speaking directly to my mate’s father, Beta Isiah. I’m not trying to be pessimistic but what other reason will he have for coming here if it isn’t a terrible one? The grave look on his face wasn’t helping bring out my positive side. The fact that his other daughter, Veronica is with him just helps solidify that this visit isn’t a friendly one. Something has happened. Possibly something very bad… “Alpha, I saw them at the boulders and they requested to speak with you. Said the matter is crucial.” My heart sinks to my stomach at Raphael’s words. “Thank you for escorting them here. I appreciate that,” I commend, walking closer to the trio. “I’ll take it from here.” Raphael nods and exits the room. My attention goes back to my guest. “What happened?” I echo, anxious to know what may have occurred. Hopefully, it’s something that can be fixed. Though, I highly doubt that.. That face wasn’t the look of someone who has a problem that can be fixed. “Let’s have a seat first.” I need to be sitting when I receive this news.

I go back to my previous seat and set my a s into it, watching as they do the same. Isiah is the first to start talking and as soon as he starts, I wish he would stop talking. “Last week, a rouge stumbled into our pack. Just as we were about to deal with him, he said he knew something. Something about the rogue attack.” It starts before I can stop it. That tiny ball of hope makes its way up to my chest, settling neatly into my frozen heart. Then the questions arise. Could this be it? Could we finally find the person behind all those deaths and years of sadness? “What did he say?” My voice is even and level, hiding away any internal emotion. On the outside, it

may seem like I’m calm and collected but inside? I’m screaming and begging for us to finally get a lead. I’m praying that this is the big break that we have been looking for. “Does he actually know something or was he just looking for a way to bail himself.” It wouldn’t be the first time that it has happened and sadly, I don’t think it will be the last. “He gave us some clues. He gave us a title and some new leads.” He leans forward in his seat, his arms resting on my desk as he lowers his voice. “He said it was orders from a beta of one of our neighboring packs. That’s all the clue he gave us.” A beta of a neighboring pack. It’s more clues than we have ever gotten or ever hoped to get. We have just נ נ Chapter 63 MMMBBBBBBM six surrounding packs so finding out who this John Doe is isn’t going to be all that difficult unless… 811 11:45 “How are you sure that he isn’t stringing us and taking us along for a wide goose chase?” I’m trying to be optimistic here but that doubt keeps creeping out from the back of my head, telling me that it’s never this easy. That something is amiss and that I’m getting my hopes up just for everything to end in another dead end. “I made sure that he got his facts set straight and didn’t change his story. Tortured and starved him for days and he still didn’t change or give us any leads to his story. He settles down in his seat. Im sure he’s telling the truth.” It makes sense. It has to be someone in power doing these attacks. Someone who has enough influence to get people to do his bidding. My pulse fasten, adrenaline pumping through my veins. Then we have to find out who that b a s t a r d is. I’m going to call on all the pack around us and arrange for meetings.”

His shoulders tense and his brows tighten. “You don’t expect us to just waltz in and accuse all the betas of treason until one confesses.” He laughs humorously. “It will be a suicide mission.” That’s why we’re going to observe them. I’m going to bring up topics about the rogue attacks and listen to each pulse, breath, and heartbeat they take. My voice turns deadly low. “Anything out of the ordinary and they’re going to have my claws wrapped around their neck.” He smiles, a satisfied look on his face at my words. I know he shares the same sentiment. That’s when I finally look over at Veronica. She’s watching us with weary eyes. “You guys shouldn’t do anything dangerous.” Her father looks over at her, his face softening. The same look that I’ve seen him give to my mate several times. “I’m doing this for your sister,” he says, placing a hand on her shoulder and giving her a soft squeeze. “You will have to stay here for some time. You can’t be making the distance from your pack to mine every day.” He deserves to be fight beside me when I find out who this person is. He deserves to watch as I drain the life out of them. “I can’t leave Veronica all by herself at the pack house.” He looks at his only daughter with worry in his eyes. “Ever since- I cut him off. “Of course, she can stay here too. We have several available rooms and it will be my pleasure to house both of you for as long as this mission will take.” He smiles, his hand dropping from Veronica’s shoulder. Then that smile wipes away like it was never there.. “The rouge also told me something else before he…” He didn’t need to complete his sentence for me to know what came next. He killed the b a s t a r d after getting the information he needed, but that isn’t what matters now. “What did he say?” I ask anxiously. “Each pack has a spy.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
