Chapter 757 - ROGUE (2)

The light struck the sky and illuminated the gruesome scene for a few seconds, giving out the details of the bloody battle, which just ended a few minutes ago.

Blood dripped from the three Donovan's hands as their wounds started to close in and their scratches had disappeared.

They had never seen this many rogue at the same time and attacked a town.

Dead bodies piled up in one spot, some of them were still in their beast form and many had turned into their human skin.

"How it is possible there were a lot of rogues here?" Torak wiped his bloody hands on the shirt of the last rogue that he had killed.

Rogue, usually would attack individual, not populated place like this town. Moreover, as long as Torak could remember, there never was a massive amount of rogue like this. They could create their own pack in this number.

"This is the first time," Jedrek replied. He crouched down and pulled a dead body by its collar and looked at closely, it was a young werewolf in the early age. "Find out about this," Jedrek talked to Lyrus, who was standing next to him.

"Yes, your majesty." Lyrus walked away from Jedrek's side while giving an order to the other guards.

"They are not from this realm." Kace sniffed his bloody hands. "I think their scent is familiar… I have smelled it somewhere…" he contemplated for a while.

"What do you mean they are not from this realm?" Jedrek asked, as he shifted his attention toward Torak.

If those shifters were not from this realm, the other possibility was; they were coming from the other realm, which Torak ruled.

"There were a few cases of rogue, but they never reached this many." Torak narrowed his eyes at the sudden light from the lightning on the sky. It seemed rain would pour this area, the fire from the torches created a long shadow that outlined how many rogues and their people that had been killed during an hour of battle.

This was not a common event.

"They are not from Torak's territory as well." Kace was trying to remember where he had ever smelled this scent.

"Northern coven realm?" Someone chimed in and when Kace and Torak turned around they found their father's Beta, Eaton, while Jedrek was aware that he was here since a few moment ago. He had been listening to them.

"Eaton? How can you be here?" Kace frowned. Rumor said it that Beta Eaton suddenly disappeared when his mate died because of rogue attack not long after Jedrek ascended the throne and was crowned as the king for all the lycanthrope, replacing their father.

When they heard the guard mentioned someone named Eaton, Kace and Torak didn't think he was the same Eaton, the man that they had known during their younger age.

"Hai, Torak." Eaton flashed Torak a smile and messed up Kace's hair like he used to do many decades ago. "So, is it northern coven realm? I heard the witches and vampires there have joined force."

Kace was surprised to see this man, but then he focused in the matter at hand. "No, it was not northern coven realm. This place is not Torak's territory."

"There are only a few places that are not his territory." Eaton nodded at Torak. He missed to see the two boys that had grown up to be someone respectable just like their father, when Janus was still in his right mind.

"Rieka." Kace frowned. "I think I had smelled this scent from Rieka country."

"Rieka?" Jedrek also knitted his brows. "It was the area where the first war took place."

Torak also knew that place, not long ago, he took Raine there to see the stone that could tell you everything, where Raine was so frightened by what she saw at that time.

Rieka was not in Torak's territory, but it was not any other creatures' territory as well. Hence, that place could be said as a free land.

"What were you doing there?" Torak asked Kace. That place was far from where he found Kace or where he lived with his mate, Serefina and Lana.

"I was avoiding his people," Kace grunted at Jedrek with distaste in every word that he spoke. "Thanks to him, I have a chance to visit many places that you would never imagine."

Though the sarcasm in the way Kace spoke to him was very thick, but Jedrek responded to it coldly. "No need to thank me."

"Alright!" Eaton clapped his hands to cut off Kace's angry words and eased the unpleasant atmosphere between the two of them. "So, how you know they are the same people that you met in Rieka?"

"I experienced an event that left a deep impression there." Kace watched as the dead body in front of him was being lifted by Jedrek's guards. "I met two rogues eight years ago in Rieka. But, they looked strange for me."

"What do you meant?" Torak tried to mind- linked Raphael or Calleb, but he couldn't reach them, while Raine had always blocked her mind ever since she knew how to do it.

"They didn't talk, they didn't respond anything when I asked them, and didn't seem aware about their surroundings." Kace remembered that clearly. "They only said; 'the darkness will spread this place', and repeat that words again and again."

"The devils," Torak concluded. He stared at the wall, where the castle was located behind it. "We need to go back to the castle. I can't mind link my Beta and Gamma from here."

"I think they put some magic here, so we can't mind- link the other shifter," Eaton said.

"I will ask Serefina to take care of it." Kace walked ahead, he didn't like to know that he also couldn't hear Hope's thought from here. "I will go back to the castle."

Eaton looked at Jedrek and watched how he scrunched his brows. "Go. I will take care of this."
