"It's an emergency, your highness!"

"Rogues again?" Nate grunts.

Dylan shakes his head, "No..their leader. Dominic."

Just by hearing his name, the hair on the back of my neck stands up.

"What did he do?" Nate growls.

"Alpha Mathews of our neighboring pack has requested alpha king to send help as many rogues have entered his pack and he believes he will definitely lose the fight against Dominic."

"How many rogues?"

"About ten.."

"You will stay here along with Carl and alpha king, I'll take a warrior to accompany Tom and me. I need Tom to communicate in his wolf form and keep me updated about the situation here." Nate instructs Dylan and glances towards me.

"And you will make sure every she wolf and kids are safe, take them to safe house in the basement if there's an attack here and be careful." He says and I nod.

"But we can send more warriors, you don't have to go, it's the first time Dominic has shown himself with his rogues to attack a pack, that too our neighboring pack, it's definitely a trap set for you..." Dylan says concerned.

"I already know that. I want to see for myself what he is up to?" Nate says and I look at him with widened eyes. What's wrong with him, he is still going despite knowing it's a trap!

"But you are still human! He can kill you!" Dylan says loudly, his words making me flinch.

"Remember to whom you're taking to!" Nate growls and Dylan looks down immediately bowing his head.

"I won't just sit back and watch him take down packs one by one! Now go gather the weapons, I'll be down in a minute." He says and Dylan nods his head, looks at me with worry in his eyes before he rushes out of the room.

Nate takes a deep breath before turning towards me, his eyes immediately softening.

He hides his expression so well no one can even guess what he is thinking right now unlike me, whom you can read perfectly like an open book and the book reads that I'm pissed off.

"Take more warriors with you!" I say.

"I don't need them..." he crosses his arms trying to look intimidating and it's working but I would never admit that to him.

"Five warriors or I'm coming with you." I say crossing my arms and raising my chin.

"No you're not." He narrows his eyes.

"I am." I shrug and walk towards the door.

"Fine! I'll take two warriors with me and you are going to stay here." He sighs running a hand through his hair which he always do when he is frustrated.

"No. You are against ten rogues and Dominic, take atleast five!"

"Two!" He looks at me with challenging eyes.

"Four. Take it or leave it." I glare.

"Fine! Three!" He says and before I can say anything back he presses his lips against mine for a quick kiss.

"You're more scarier than Dominic!" He smirks and I roll my eyes.

"I have to tell you something...after I come back. " He says touching my lower lips with his thumb with a serious expression and I gulp because I already what that might be.
It's about the cure for the spell isn't it?
I want to ask but I don't.
