The Warning

"Alpha"

Hearing my Beta's voice through mind link woke me up from the sudden urgency in her tone.

"Yes, Lillian?" I tried to not sound as groggy as I felt but that plan failed. While trying to fully wake up I moved my legs over the side of the bed until I was stopped by an arm that was wrapped around my waist. The arm was connected to Amanda, and omega, who was laying on her stomach with the bed sheets covering her naked lower body, I looked over my body and saw I was also bare.

"Crap" was all I muttered; now I'm going to have to deal with her constant clinginess. I don't even remember how she got me into bed, did I drink too much whiskey from last night's party? I ran my fingers through my hair trying to remember.

I felt Lillian's mind link back to mine "There are a few rogues here and they want to speak with you.

 Rogues?! There not supposed to be near 100 miles near our lands but now they're in the castle?!

"Why are they here?" I growled, although I wasn't physically there with Lillian I could sense her flinching at my words. I got up and threw Amanda's arm off me and grabbed my clothes from the floor, these rogues must have a death wish if they dared step on my land.

"They won't say, they want to speak to you only" that just made me even furious, they don't have the rights to demand anything from anyone, let alone be in my presence, I might just throw them in right in the dungeons for trespassing on our lands.

                                                           * * *

"So what is it that you wanted to speak about rogues" there was only 4 of them and they reeked of oil and smoke. One took a couple of steps forward and the two guards that were next to my chair snarled making the rogue take a step back.

"Well...Alpha Walker....we have heard rumors of a witch clan planning an attack against you" the rogue that stepped forward had brown greasy hair and his clothes were worn out and dirty. Without a pack, they aren't welcome anywhere so I'm not surprised how their appearances look. With the constant dread and fear of being attacked, working jobs in dangerous conditions, and being the scum of the earth isn't a good life.

"Why would a witch clan attack us?"  I felt my wolf Raed ask and stir underneath my skin

'I'm not sure, but they must be out of their minds to fight my army'

Narrowing my eyes at the rogue standing before me he began to shift his feet uncomfortably at my gaze. 

"And which witch cult would be conspiring against me?" my tone sounding stultified I relaxed into my throne.

"T-the Silver Ravens m-my king" he even kneeled down in front of the steps that led up to my throne

Going through the possible reasons why a witch clan would go against us was very strenuous, the Elder Council even stated they would remain neutral through the war so why would they attack to create another one? Even so, they might harbor hatred for other supernaturals attacking them but why against werewolves?

"Maybe because of the mass killings 200 years ago" Raed stated

'But that was 200 years ago!' I rubbed my eyes trying to make sense of this, we already created a treaty with them creating peace between us two creatures.

"Alpha, the rogues seem to want to ask you something" I heard Lillian say, looking back at the rogues they were still standing there looking hopeful at me.
