Dn''s POV


    "There''s trouble outside!" Johnny yelled, barging into my room as I spoke with Sophia.


    As he opened the door, I heard somemotion outside and I immediately walked out of the room to check out what the problem was.


    I saw four rogues fighting. Each held a long stick with which they hit themselves with no mercy whatsoever.


    It seemed to me that all four had a big issue with themselves. I had thought that it was a fight of two against two but it wasn''t. They all fought whoever was closest to them while the other wolves surrounded and cheered them on as they kept at it.


    I turned to Johnny wondering why he''d call me out for something as trivial as that. It was a rogue Pack and so these kinds of fights were expected. It wasn''t the first time that it happened. Indeed, a wolf lost his life thest time and the entire Pack moved on as if nothing happened.


    "Is this why you called me out of my room?" I asked Johnny, so full of anger. "Is this why you barged into my room, uninvited when I was having private time with Sophia?"


    He took a few steps backwards, shaking his head. "I thought it was something you''d want to handle, especially because they are slugging it out just outside your room," he stuttered in fear.


    "Then you should have easily handled it, shouldn''t you?" I yelled, grabbing him by the cor and pushing him to the wall.


    "Don''t you ever interrupt my meeting for unimportant news like this," I warned him sternly. "I will not take it kindly from you or anyone else. Do I make myself clear?"


    He nodded and I let go of his shirt. "Now, go find something better to do with your life."


    I turned around and walked back into the room, wondering why he''d do what he did. Then it dawned on me. He had eyes on Sophia. He was probably unhappy that I was spending so much time with her. Such guts. He was lucky that he was my friend. I needed him. I needed him so much.


    "Hey. What happened?" Sophia asked as I walked into the room still full of anger.


    "It''s nothing you should bother yourself with," I replied, before seeing the smirk on her face. "Fine. There was a scuffle outside. I think it''s still going on. I can''t believe that Johnny would call me out for something as trivial as that. How am I supposed to separate fights between these lowly rogues? He must think so low of me because of the situation I''ve found myself in."


    "Calm down, Dn," she said, rubbing her palm around my head in a circr motion. I was always calm whenever she did that. It felt so good that I shut my eyes to savour the moment. She seemed to have noticed as I heard her giggle.


    "Maybe, he didn''t mean it in the wrong way," she said, kissing me on my shoulder as she kept rubbing my head.


    "Then he should think better, instead of taking any decision thates into his head without properly checking if it''s worth taking... I"


    My speech was interrupted once again by a knock on the door. "Who''s there?" I asked. "You cane in."


    The door opened and it was Johnny again. He didn''t look like the man who was put in his ce just a few moments ago and I wondered what had brought him back again.


    "You again?" I asked. "What is it this time?"


    "It''s the Alpha King from Mansoor Pack," he said with a smirk. "He''s in the Pack now and currently heading towards this ce."


    "Okay. I need to get to him immediately then. We need to discuss some good business," I said, standing on my feet and helping Sophia up so that we could head out of the room.


    "Who''s this Alpha King?" Sophia asked. "I''ve never heard of him."


    "That''s because I''ve never mentioned him to anyone except for the Rogue Alpha and Johnny. We aren''t close in any way but we do have one thing inmon; hatred for Alex and my father. Well, I used to be part of his enemies but since I want them dead, fate has indeed brought us together. I hope my talk with him will be very fruitful."


    "I hope so too," I concurred, as we kept walking.


    "Dn!" The Alpha King yelled on seeing me. "So good to see you again after thest time. We sure don''t have fond memories of ourst meeting but I hope we''d create better memories this time."


    "I hope so too, Alpha Dwayne," I smiled, extending my hand for a handshake as he did the same. "I hope for something more pleasant this time. Anything but two men doing their best to help each other lose their heads. I''m thankful we both failed."


    Weughed so hard. It wasn''t so funny back then. We were determined to kill each other. Now, we intended to channel the same passion to my father and Alex Bane.


    "Hey, prettydy," he greeted Sophia, seemingly sizing her up from head to toe with a stare that screamed lust.


    I didn''t like it at all. He should have seen that she was with me. It was never great to be disrespected and I had hoped that we were going to start up our newfound rtionship based on trust and mutual respect.


    One was already off the table and the second was bound to be nonexistent with time. I just stared with my mouth wide open as he shamelessly gawked at her.


    "Hey, handsome," she replied, waving at him with her right hand before winking. "Wee to the Pack."


    "Thank you," he said, licking his lips. "Such a beautiful woman like you belongs somewhere better. I mean, you look stunning, woman."


    "You don''t say." Sophia reached out with her right hand and he shook her softly before bringing her hand up to his face and kissing it. "You seem sweet, Alpha King. I''m Sophia by the way; the Princess of the Silver Moon Pack."


    I couldn''t believe my eyes. Not only was the man flirting with Sophia, but she was also offering no resistance. Indeed, she was edging him on by flirting back. She was so shameless.


    I tapped her on the shoulder, just to remind her that I was right there but she swiftly brushed off my hand and kept on with what she was doing which further got me annoyed.


    I couldn''t tell the Alpha to stop even though I badly wanted to. I needed his help and if I were to get it, I had to stay put. I couldn''t do anything to make him angry or else he''d change his mind and I knew that there was hardly a chance for us to beat Alex without his help.


    "Could we go inside, to my chambers, so we can properly talk, man to man?" I asked with a smile on my face. "I can''t keep a man like you standing outside for so long."


    "Sure. Thank you for your kind gesture." He turned to Sophia and said, "She''s going with us, right? I think she should hear what we have to say too. Perhaps, she might have things to contribute. Who knows? I do want to talk to the prettydy afterwards."


    I didn''t want that. His words only made me very jealous. I felt like ripping his heart out that instant but I had to maintain myposure by all means necessary. I didn''t want him to even notice that I wasn''t pleased.


    "She can join us," I said with a smile. "She''s always free to join us."


    As we walked to the room, I decided within myself to have a very stern talk with Sophia. I needed to earn her that I''d never allow anyone else to have. She was exclusive to me and it had to remain that way.
