Chapter 144 The Rogue King’ Choice

**Ethan’s POV

‘Alpha, we saw a large pack of rogues nearby,’ Richard used the mind-link to tell me what was happening.

He had returned from patrol and was still in his wolf form as he came to a stop in the middle of camp, breathing heavily. ‘They’re headed in this direction.’

Immediately, I snapped to attention. “How many?” | asked.

He shook his head. ‘At least one hundred, maybe more.’

“Almost the same size as us,” Talon said, his eyebrows furrowed.

Rogues, they seemed to be everywhere, and there were so many different packs of them. They could show up at any moment, and we’d be forced to defend ourselves.

The further north we went, the more cautious we had to be, and the more concerned I grew for Rosalie. How would she be able to navigate amongst those ruthless monsters with a baby all by herself?

The only thing that was comforting was that I could still feel the pull of my child, and I prayed to the Moon Goddess every

day to keep them safe.

When we were within twenty miles of the border of the northern territory, I sent Samuel and Richard out to scout the area. I didn’t want to move without making sure that we had done a thorough check of where we were going.

Not because I was afraid, but because I had other priorities, and I didn’t want to waste time and energy.

Samuel, who returned with Richard in his wolf form, jumped in. ‘But these are no ordinary rogues. They’re savages. We saw them rip their preys’ bodies to shreds after killing them for no reason. I mean, rogues are rogues, but those are the worst I’d ever seen.’

‘Their leader is a she-wolf,’ Richard continued. ‘We got a good look at her. She looks… deranged, like some sort of a lunatic. She beat up one of her own wolves just because he killed that victim too soon. Afterwards, she tore the victim’s dead body open and dragged his organs and intestines out… they all came over to lap up his blood. It was… it was gross.’

I could only stare at them for a moment, trying to understand what we were dealing with. It sounded like a pack that wouldn’ t fight fair or follow the usual rules of battle- even rogue rules.

“You said they were coming our way?”
