Chapter 47
***DEREK***
6 YEARS AGO.
We were all on alert.
My eyes were wide open and my pupils had a supernatural glow as I darted my eyes back and forth, closely watching out for the tiniest movement. I looked over my shoulder to see the last man in the group walk in. I turned my head suddenly as the sound of metal clattering against the floor came from the kitchen.
What was that?
That same instant, the house was filled with the sound of cracking of bones and it was soon followed by a loud howl. A 6-foot-tall wolf suddenly emerged from the kitchen and swiftly jumped out of the window, shattering the glass mindlessly.
Damn it!
I growled loudly and in a few seconds, I had transformed into a full grown 6 '5 foot tall wolf that jumped out the same window and ran into the bush with crazy speed. I was soon joined by my crew members who had also transformed into wolves and we chased after the Rogue fleeing from them. The twelve wolves on my side suddenly ran in different directions on receiving a telepathic message from him.
The plan was to close in on the Rogue from all sides as soon as there was a barrier. The wind brushed harshly against My wolf face as I ran through the moonlit clear bath in the bush and with my enhanced vision, I zoomed in on a barrier of thick bushes and thorns meters ahead.
Good.
With a few meters distance apart, the Rogue wolf leaped into the air and skillfully jumped over the barrier, every muscle in the Wolf’s body flexing smoothly. I let out a disappointed growl and followed suit, leaping over the barrier and landing on the other side of the bush. In a few seconds, My wolves also landed and the Rogue suddenly stopped running, transforming back into my human form; a stark naked 5 '9 foot tall man.
I and the others stopped instantly in surprise and we were all taken aback by the multiple howls coming from within the bushes.
I was hit with the realization of what was happening as numerous dots of glowing eyes emerged from the bushes.
It was an ambush.
I slowly moved backward as I saw the wolves slowly walk out of the bush with low growls.
There were so many of them and as we were oblivious of the ambush, they would have torn us apart.
Then it's good that I had come up with a plan in case something like this happened.
I stretched out my hand and Craig, a Delta wolf handed me a small device shaped like a gun.
It contained a bullet filled with a powder herb made of silver. The powder would cause Werewolves or Vampires to lose their abilities and become mundane temporarily
A smirk formed on my lips and I pointed the gun at the forest before pulling the trigger. The air was immediately filled with fog.
I felt the wolf energy in me slowly disappear as I also inhaled the fog in the air. A necessary sacrifice to capture these Rogues.
The wolves with me also began to howl as they forcefully reverted to their human form. Immediately, the other team coming from the opposite direction came out of hiding and began to shoot the Rogues down with silver tranquilizers.
"Round up all of them and have them taken to the slaughterhouse," I said, facing my Craig.
"Alpha Knox will have a good time torturing them."

I walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower and I dried my body with a towel. I put on a gray shirt and black jeans and went to stand in front of my mirror.
I used my hands to ruffle my hair and I rubbed lotion on my face and arms.
It would take at least two days for me to regain my wolf abilities.
I walked out of my room and closed the door.
"Oh My God, can't you do anything right?!" I heard Alvina's ear-piercing voice coming from the Alpha Family dining room and I shook my head. Just the person I was looking for.
I knew it was Larissa she was shouting at.
I walked by the dining room and I slowed down briefly by the entrance. I looked at Alvina and nodded subtly in the direction of my room.
She gave a signal with her eyes that she heard me and I walked past the dining room, going back to my room through another hallway.
I sat on the bed, waiting for Alvina to be done with breakfast with the Alpha family.
We didn't know if we would be mates so the two of us had to keep our relationship a secret from everyone. Plus Jakob would literally kill me if he ever found out.
I heard a low knock on my door and I immediately stood up from my bed. I walked to the door and as soon as I opened it, I grabbed Alvina's hand and pulled her into the room, shutting the door immediately.
She pushed me against the door and kissed me roughly. I groaned and pushed her back.
"I was exposed to silver dust, be gentle," I said and she smirked.
"So tell me, why are you always so harsh on that girl?" I asked as I kissed her on the lips and pushed her hair aside.
"Who? Larissa?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yeah, I could hear your screams all the way from here," I replied and pushed Alvina to the bed.
"I don't know, she irritates me. Don't tell me you feel sympathy for her," Alvina said with a frown on her face.
"No, but she didn't hurt you in any way right? The Rogue attack killed my dad and I don't take it out on her, do I?" I asked.
"Uuurgh, are we going to keep talking about the traitor's daughter or are you going to kiss me?" She asked and I smiled before wrapping my hands around her and kissing her.
