Cassandra:

The boy looked visibly relieved with the tattoo off his back. He then took a deep breath and began talking giving us no reason to threaten or taunt him.

"My name is Ashvath Ramachandran. I'm fourteen years old. I was made a rogue by my pack a few months back," his voice wavered like he remembered something very traumatic. He sniffed.  

Anton squatted down before him. "Which pack were you banished from? I don't remember hearing a report of a fourteen-year-old boy made a rogue."

Ashvath shook his head and choked over his words, "I'm not from any of your packs, Alpha." 

"The pack that I'm from is a very ruthless one!" Ashvath stopped to catch his breath and collect his words.

I raised an eyebrow and thought, "Oh, yeah? And I thought this was the empire that was most feared one!" 

Anton's amused eyes met mine. I just looked away knowing that he heard my thoughts.

"Our pack is the most feared one and for good reasons," He spoke in my head and still looked at me amusingly. I just kept my eyes on a bundle of chains in some corner of the prison and kept my expression in check.

"I'm from the Morana Pack..."

{A/N: From a Slavic root meaning "death, plague" [1]. In Slavic mythology, this was the name of the goddess of winter and death. (Ya know, before you make fun of that name! XD)}

Anton looked at him sternly and the others tensed hearing the name. Anton spoke, "The Morana Pack is a historic one now... My father destroyed it almost two decades back!"

He shook his head frantically, "Alpha, no! They're now living underground and in hiding. They've been mating with the existing members to increase their numbers. Something tells me that they are bidding their time to rise again!"

"We destroyed every member in their records! Both his sons were killed!"

"If I know our history correctly, a good number of them along with the Alpha's third and the youngest son, Andrik were sent into hiding. The third son was always hidden from the outside world. The members' records were torn and burned to leave no evidence of them. It was easy to form it back again since they had an Alpha child who could rule and control the wolves... Alpha, they knew that they had no chance against your empire! Now, they're bidding something big. 

"The last attack was to check your strengths, weaknesses, and your way of decision making. The attack on the old Alpha Andrew and Luna Alina was to eliminate the biggest threat on their list! The old Alpha was said to be stronger than you. The luna was his intellect. It seemed almost impossible to overthrow them! Now that they're down and nobody in this empire knows their weaknesses, they have a good chance of bringing you down. They've joined forces with the kicked out Rogues and there's this man..." His eyebrows furrowed.
