Chapter 42: Ayla

“Who ordered you?” I commanded.

Denny shook his head. “We don’t know his name,” he replied nervously. “We always just call him Boss.”

“Okay, Denny,” I said with a small smile. “But you’ve seen him, haven‘ t you?”

“Just once,” he replied. “But it was dark. There was a big group of us. Maybe thirty or forty rogues. They did some kind of ritual.”

“Did the ritual mention someone named Dominis?” Theo commanded.

Denny nodded. “Yes.”

“It was the command.” I stated.

“Which has now been broken,” Theo confirmed.

“How can you tell?” Kingston asked.

“Theo commanded information about the Dominis family. He wouldn’t have been able to answer if I hadn’t been commanding him,” I explained. “Denny, do you know why they commanded you to attack us? Why do they want to organize the rogues against the Greytooth and Sablemane packs?”

“I… I don’t know about Sablemane, but…” He swallowed hesitantly. He was scared.

“It’s okay, Denny,” I said calmly. “We won’t hurt you. We just need your help. If you can give it to us.”

“Denny, were you one of the rogues that hurt people in Bonnerville?” I ordered. “Did you kill any of our pack members?”

“No,” he rushed honestly. “I only damaged property. I avoided the people. That’s how I was caught. I was running from the big fight, and an officer grabbed me. But I swear, I didn’t hurt anyone.”
