Chapter 20

•Alexis•

Rogues. Freaking rogues. How did I not see this coming. Blake just has to ruin everything. As you can tell, I'm pretty mad. I am currently running through the woods in my golden wolf. I got so mad I shifted and ruined a really good outfit.

I make it to the end of my land where I can see Blake and 10 other rogues, guards surrounding them. I shifted, my hair covering my chest while Xander comes up in wolf form to block everything else. "Why are you here Blake?"

"You're still looking good Alexis, even better than before." He smirks, looking me up and down, well the parts he can actually see. Me and Xander give him a warning growl.

"Still short tempered I see." He chuckles softly, looking to the sky before looking back at me. I stop him when he trys to speak, a guard coming up with a new set of clothes. I slip on the old t-shirt and leggings, my royal guards forming a barrier so I can't be seen while I dress.

"What do you want?" I cross my arms across my chest. "I'm here on official business, it's about the war between you and Jack." His look softens, and I glare at him.

"I already know some of your rogues are helping him." He sighs in frustration. "It's not about that. I'm trying to help you, but I need to speak to you without that pet of yours." He points to Xander who is currently sitting by my feet, he still hasn't shifted.

"Why would you want to help me?" I raise my left eyebrow in confusion. "Because Jack plans to turn against me when we defeat you. I wanna make a deal with you." I think for a second before deciding to listen to him.

"We can speak in my office, your rogues have to leave my land though." I leave before he can question me, he joins up with me a few minutes later while some guards escort the rogues far away.

An hour or so later we're at my house and sitting in my office. "We need to talk alone." We've been sitting here for 10 minutes while him and Xander have a staring contest. "No."

Sam, Josh, Danny, and Xander all say. Damn it, why are they all here. "Out, all of you. You're not to come in unless I call for you." They all looked shocked by my choice, but leave. "Now get to the point Blake, what do you want?"

"When Jack attacks, me and my rogues will join your side, taking him by surprise." He gives me a too friendly of a smile. "In exchange for what?"

"For you of course and the position as King." He leans forward, resting his elbows on my desk. I start laughing, like full blown laughing in his face. "I told you long ago that if you ever tried or even hinted at having the King title, I'd lock you and all your rogues up, put on death row."

He scowls at me and I sit back in my chair, a smirk spread across my face. "Don't you want the witch who killed your mom? She's how I got the celestial silver you know. I'll give you her and the coordinates to the silver. I'll even give you all the wanted rogues."

"I can't believe I was ever scared of you. You're nothing but a coward." He growls at me, throwing his fist down on the desk, cracking it. "I am not a coward."

"Really? What leader just gives away their people or goes back on his deal just to save himself. You're supposed to protect your people, not send them to their deaths." I yell in his face. In a flash he's in front of me, pinning me to the wall by my throat.

"You're nothing Blake." He tightens his hold on my neck, closing off my air way. "Looks like you're the coward to me, you can't even fight back." I give him an evil smile, my eyes going black.

My nails elongate and I scratch him down his face. He screams out, letting go of me and stumbling back. "You think you can take on me? You're not of Royal blood, only Alpha. You're not fit to be King of anyone, not even rogues."

He jumps at me but I quickly​ pin him to the wall. "You've caused too much harm to me and this pack. I would never do business with you."

"You made a mistake of coming here. Now I can punish you for your crimes." I toss him to the floor when his face starts to turn blue, and he begins to gasp for breath.

"Sam, come here and take Blake away to the dungeons." I shout out. Everyone comes bundling in, going on high alert when they spot Blake on the floor and a red handprint around my neck.

Xander's instantly at my side, checking for any other signs of harm. "Are you okay?" He ask as I sway a little on my feet. "I'm fine, I just need some sleep." He's holding me up as I lean on him. I quickly wave him off, but when I'm free from his grasp, I fall to the floor. Everything going dark.
