Chapter 219: A rogue

MAVERICK’S POV

"Sir, are you sure about it? This idea seems pretty –" Clark stopped speaking as he looked at me, hesitancy clear in his eyes.

I raised my brows at him.

"Do you think I would call you back from a mission and waste my time over something I am not serious about?" I asked him, and he shook his head.

I know what they were thinking.

As an alpha who has kept powers to himself and never tries or interfere with matters that don’t interest him, I was indeed making a bold move this time.

However, I was done keeping things in check and acting like the good guy.

’Let me make it clear: no one thinks you are a good guy,’ Reaper interrupted my thoughts.

I glared at the wolf, who smirked at me. He, for sure, knows how to get on my nerves sometimes.

’Would you have taken a different step if you were in my place?’ I asked him.

Reaper tilted his head as he looked at me, more like observing me for a few seconds before he stood from his place and walked ahead.

’What makes you think you and I are different, Maverick? If I had been in your place? Who are you telling this to? Don’t forget Valencia has always been my woman first before you. I was the one who chose her for ourselves,’ Reaper’s eyes turned dark, a clear indication he wouldn’t have any rebellion over his words this time.

I rolled my eyes.

What did he mean he chose her for us? I was the one who fell in love with her first. Besides, she liked me first. Heck, she hasn’t even properly bonded with him. I scoffed before realizing I was competing with my wolf like a wolf, and a sigh left my mouth.

I was losing my mind for real this time.

And the woman who has been the reason for all this mess, I looked at the girl who was happily eating, more like chugging ice cream in the ice cream parlor with a smile.

’And let me remind you, you are not the reason behind her happiness. Dylan bought her that ice cream,’ Reaper said, and I massaged my forehead.

As if my jealousy wasn’t enough, I must suffer through my wolf’s jealousy now.

"Look at her. Isn’t she beautiful?" Reaper asked, and I looked at my woman’s smile before humming, my lips twitching.

"Alpha," Shadow called me, snapping me out of my whipped thoughts, and I cleared my throat.

"As I was saying, I am sure about this move," I said to Kai, who looked at Clark and nodded at him.

We have been staying quiet about the rogues for quite some time, and it has made them think they have the upper hand over us just because I didn’t want to go on another bloodshed trip.

"But what will we say to other packs and the council when they demand an explanation of our people roaming around?" Clark asked, and I looked into his eyes.

Did he seriously ask this question?

"I am sorry, Alpha," He immediately realized his mistake and bowed his head in submission.

This wasn’t even a question. We weren’t answerable to anyone at all.

Why were we roaming around the packs and hunting the rogues again like last year? Because I have just found out a rogue group has been targeting my woman, and everyone who has ever wanted to lay hands on her must die.

As I was busy looking over the route the team would be following to hunt down the rogues; I furrowed my brows when I saw Shadow deep in thought.

He was thinking about linking someone, but it must’ve been necessary for him to do it when I was talking to them.

"Sir, we discovered one of the rogues involved in the airport attack. Our team captured him," Shadow said.

Well, isn’t this great timing?

We sat in the cars to leave for the forests without wasting time.

I wasn’t there with Valencia; instead, I went to look at her in the name of holding a meeting there because I wanted to check things around her and ensure her safety.

Though she was with the council head’s son, I didn’t want to trust anyone when it came to her.

"This way, sir," The man led us to the place where they caught and tied the rogue.

"Do we have everything on the man?" I asked with the hidden meaning, and the man nodded in agreement, making me hum

’Let me take over. I want to interrogate him,’ Reaper said, knowing if the man said one wrong word, my wolf would end up twisting his neck within the blink of an eye without thinking about the consequences. I denied his proposition.

"Let me do it," I said, walking to the cell before asking the guard to open it.

His eyes were hollow. That was precisely how I would describe how he looked at me.

He looked tired and done with life. Someone ready to accept death. My lips twitched at the sight.

Funny.

Did these rogues really think we won’t really do anything because we can’t have fun torturing them with their dead emotions as expressions?

I sat on the stool before him and tilted my head.

No one said anything for some time. I kept looking at him until he became uncomfortable and started looking everywhere but me.

"Who did it?" I asked, my voice turning Cold and dark because of how Reaper was trying to gain control over me.

"I won’t tell you anything," The man said, and I closed my eyes for a few seconds.

Seriously, sometimes, actions like this make me cringe and wonder why these people even try to hide the truth when they know they will utter it sooner or later.

"So, we both don’t have much time to waste. How about you start speaking?" I asked the man, who scoffed at me.

"How about you go and fuck yourself, Alpha Maverick? Then again, you don’t need to do it anymore since you found yourself a new bitch. She has some good skin. Seeing her bathing without any clothes-"

Pat!

I punched the person hard across the face to stop him from speaking anything negative about Valencia because as sure as I was with my wolf, if he uttered one more wrong word about her, I would pull his tongue out and chop him into pieces while keeping him alive all the time as he watches his limbs being sliced into cubes.

"One more word about her, and you will end up being boiled into hot oil," I whispered before tilting my head.

This won’t do.

He was clearly one of those tough heads who think they have the upper hand over everyone and don’t care about their lives.

However, there is hardly a person in this world who doesn’t care about anything.

I wasn’t one of those guys, either.

Before I met Valencia, I used to care about my pack and my people. Keeping them safe was my life’s agenda. And now, after meeting her, keeping her safe and living a good life were my mottos and weaknesses.

I can’t see anything happening to her. She was more of my motivation than my weakness.

And just like almost every other human being breathing on earth, this guy has his weakness, too.

"Bring them in," I said to Shadow, who looked at me with raised brows before nodding.

He clapped his hands, and as soon as he did that, we saw a lady walking inside with a 3-year-old boy in her hands.

I watched the man’s expression turn grimmer as he saw his family right before him, making my lips twitch.

"I knew you wouldn’t tell me anything because you don’t fear death, but I am sure their death fears you," I looked at the man, who gulped.

Hesitation and contemplation were evident on his face.

I was in no hurry.

I waited for the man to open his mouth finally.

However, after a few seconds, he didn’t say anything, and I sighed.

He was pretty loyal to his master, like a trained dog.

"Well, I have a fair chance to speak and save your family, but it looks like your secret matters to you more than your family," I stood from my place and walked to the lady who was almost shaking in her place.

I looked into her eyes, and she immediately reverted her gaze.

"Well, I am sorry, Mrs., but I can’t help you when your husband doesn’t care about your life. I am on a mission to kill all the rogues since I don’t know who exactly has been hurting my family," I whispered.

I looked at the man for a couple of seconds before nodding at Shadow.

The subordinate stepped ahead and forcefully took away the child from the lady.

The kid was crying in pain, and I looked at the little boy.

"What will happen here, remember it for the rest of your life, okay? Your daddy is responsible for this trauma I am about to give you," I said before standing straight.
