The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 157

Alpha Bane's POV

"My Alpha," one of the warriors called out. "I can't see anyone around here."

I looked to my left and my right and I couldn't find anyone. We had arrived at the Rogue Pack after over ten minutes, yet there was no sign of anyone at all and it was quite strange, to say the least.

I sent some of the guards to check the buildings to see if they could find anyone but they all came out with the same report; there was no one there and we couldn't explain that.

I began to wonder if they had received a piece of information that we were heading for their Pack but it still seemed very surprising that they weren't there.

If they were informed, I expected them to prepare for war and not to entirely desert their Pack for some other people to occupy. It was so strange.

As we kept walking, I noticed that there was some kind of commotion in the Pack as tents were burned, leaving everywhere in a very bad state. Then something struck in me that although the entire Pack seemed deserted, there was a place that was certainly going to be well guarded with important people inside.

"Let's head over to the Castle," I ordered my men. "Surely, their Alpha would be there. If we can lay hold on him, a lot can happen."

They all nodded as we proceeded to the Castle which according to what the mole said to me, wasn't so far from where we were. As we moved as quickly as we could, I thought about so many things. I imagined all that I was going to do to the Alpha King as soon as I got the chance to lay my hands on him. He was surely going to regret being a part of whatever happened to my child. Sadly, I wished I could make him sorry for all he had done but dead men didn't feel sorry.

"Attack anyone you see on your way as we head over to the Castle," I barked at my men. "Show no mercy at all. When we get inside the Castle, slay everyone except the Alpha. Leave him to me. I'll do what I need to do."

My men dashed forward and soon enough, we began to see a few men who ran as soon as they spotted us. My men pursued them, overtook them and slayed as many as they could reach.

I and a few guards continued our journey to the Castle, with the other warriors providing cover and also heading to several parts of the Pack to lay waste to everyone there.

"Leave no one alive. Kill them all!" I yelled as I kept approaching the Castle.

I wondered why they were all so scared. They didn't seem to want to fight back. They seemed to only do that because they had no choice. Their first instinct was to run away as soon as they saw any of us. It didn't change anything. We were keen on killing them, so not fighting back until it was already too late was to our advantage and to their detriment, which was okay by me.

As I stepped into the Castle, three guards ran out to attack me but before I could draw my sword, I saw them fall to the ground. My warriors had thrown a silver dagger straight into their chests from behind me where they were. I didn't even need to lift a finger.

Nevertheless, I drew my sword, not wanting to be taken unawares by anyone. It was going to be a very shameful thing to be killed in a Rogue Pack. The thought almost brought me to laughter but it wasn't the time. I was there for a very serious matter.

I walked into the throne room and immediately spotted the Rogue Alpha, who was trying to escape as quickly as he could. Without wasting any time at all, I ran to him and accosted him, making sure there was no way for him to escape. Since he was trying to run away, he had no weapon in his possession and it made things much easier than I had expected. Even if he did, it must have been tucked in his clothes, but I had mine in my hand and it made all the difference.
