Dylan's POV
"Hey, man, get over her now before I make you!"
"You wouldn't dare try to raise a finger at me. I'll rip your head off your neck before you know it, man. You can't mess with me. Nobody does."
I heard the sound of two rogues quarrelling for reasons best known to them. Usually, I'd simply scream from my window for them to keep mute before I'd make them but on that occasion, I just let them have their fun.
Soon enough, I heard the sound of a bottle being broken on something that I guessed was the head of one of the rogues and a fight ensued. There was commotion everywhere and I heard loud voices of other rogues who probably rushed there to break the fight or simply enjoy the beautiful spectacle. There were always more of the latter than the former.
After I escaped from the hands of my brother and whoever was on his side, I found refuge with the rogues with the help of my friend, Johnny. Contrary to what I used to hear about them, they were quite welcoming.
I only had to beat five of them before they wholeheartedly accepted me into their fold. They were peace-loving people too. They never let little differences come between them. Instead, they drew a line and fought amongst themselves until there was a clear winner. That way, there was peace; a lasting kind of peace.
When Johnny suggested that we should go to their land, I hesitated a bit. I didn't want any trouble at all and I felt they were just barbaric sets of people who didn't have any feelings. But then he explained their ways to me and it kind of suited me perfectly. It was the kind of place that I wanted to be in at the time. That wasn't the best part though.
He assured me that nobody was going to search for us there because it was quite far from our Pack and no one wanted to be there. They hated the wolves with Packs so much and that was why they sent five rogues, just to see if I was worthy to be part of them. A test that I passed with ease. None of them could match my strength and brute force.
"I see these folks are still fighting," Johnny said, walking into my room with a smile.
"Do they ever stop?" I asked. "It's better here than over there though. At least, I get to walk freely without any fear of being arrested by a guard."
"That's true. Besides, no one is chasing after you anymore. Bane and your father have all given up and have moved on with their lives…"
"I know that for a fact but sadly, I haven't moved on with mine," I answered with a wicked smile springing forth because of what I had in mind to do. "This is the perfect place to be. From here, I can plan my revenge and I won't rest until I get it too."
"Well, about that," said Donald to me, as he came a bit closer to me. "I got a piece of news that you will be interested in."
I adjusted myself on the chair, eager to hear what he had to say. I had told him to be on the lookout about five days before that as I needed to be kept abreast with the happenings outside of the Pack of rogues.
"Shoot!"
