Poisoned rogues
Ellie finished her breakfast and took some painkillers. She wanted to go back to bed since she wasn’t going to work, and the whole house was boring. But something popped into her mind.
She walked through the hallways and stood in front of a door. She looked at the door for some time before opening it.
She knew that the room was Alex’s study, and she had seen some fantasy books there before. She thought maybe she could see some things that could break the bond.
She walked to the shelves and searched around for any books that involved werewolves. She picked up a book from the shelf. The book had a picture of a black wolf in front of the title. “Werewolves rule.” She remembered that she had seen the book before.
The book was for anyone who had just transformed for the first time. It was for the new wolves to know and follow certain rules.
“Maybe it might have something to do with how to break it.” She said , flipping the book. It was a book with a lot of tiny writing. She flipped it for some time, until she got bored. She was about to drop it when something caught her attention.
“Wolves are not allowed to have anything to do with the opposite sex after marking their mate. Otherwise, the mate will feel unbearable pain.” She read it aloud but did not understand what it meant. She continued reading because she thought she might see something else about Mate. She finally closed the book and returned it when she saw nothing.
She took another book, which had no title or picture, but she did not see anything that had a mate bond. She only saw a picture of a white wolf with green eyes. She read a little about the white wolf and saw that they are very rare.
She read about the white wolf for some time before she finally remembered what she was there for. “I almost got carried away.” She said this before putting the book back where it belongs.
She went through some books, but couldn’t find anything. She was still reading a book when her phone suddenly rang.
She checked it and saw that it was Christina. She picked it up. Hey Christina! How are you doing?NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Hi! I’m fine, and you? I called because I was worried if you were alright.” Christina said. She called because she couldn’t stop thinking about her, even when Callum had told her she was alright.
“I’m okay. I’m sorry. I should have called you instead, but I was busy, and I forgot.” Ellie said. She blamed herself for forgetting to call her.
“It’s fine. I’m glad you’re fine.” Christina said with a low voice. Ellie knew that something was wrong; she wanted to ask her, but she knew that she might not want to say it.
“Are you okay?” Ellie asked, to which she also replied, before hanging up. “I’m fine. OK, bye.” Christina actually called because she needed someone to talk to, and hearing her friend’s voice was something that gave her more happiness.
Ellie just sighed. She looked at the mess she had created in his study. She quickly stood up and arranged everything back before going downstairs to have her lunch.

Late in the night.
A group of rogues could be seen attacking a small house. They killed every creature in the house and were about to leave when some wolves suddenly attacked them.
The rogue wolves could not run for their lives because the whole house was surrounded by wolves. The wolves burst into the house and attacked the rogues.
But despite their fighting, they realized that none of the rogues had been taken down. They were the ones losing. They noticed that the rogues were faster and more aggressive.
I see that a lot of them have lost their lives. The others quickly ran for their lives.
He walked into the room, only to see some men whose wounds were being tended to. “What’s going on here? Why are there a lot of injured men?” Alex asked, turning to Callum, who was standing at his back.
He was in the office and planning to go home soon when Callum called him because of an emergency. He quickly drove his car there without asking him anything.
“It seems the rogues have gained some power.” Callum said, looking at the men, who were groaning in pain.
“Power? What power?” Alex asked with confusion. He did not understand what he meant by power. He was only concerned about the injured men.
“Follow me.” Callum said before walking out of the room. He walked to the next door and opened it with the key he had taken from his pocket.
They both walked into the room. He saw a wolf, whose hands and legs were tied with a big chain. This is one of our men. Why is he tied to the ground? Alex asked, looking at the wolf growling on the floor.
“He was poisoned.” Callum answered.
“Poisoned?” He asked, surprised.
“Yes. He was poisoned by something that made him so aggressive. We don’t know what it was, but I’m guessing it was black magic.” Callum said. He was also surprised when he heard what the rogues had become.
“Black magic? You mean, like a black witch?” Alex asked.
“Yes. The rogues have become so powerful that they killed a lot of our men.” Callum replied; he was angry about the men they’d lost to the rogues.
“Not only are rogues disturbing the city, Now there is a new set of strong ones that can poison other wolves.” Alex scoffed. He wasn’t expecting that a witch would still add to the problem.
A witch that has access to the black forest must be a very powerful one. The gates of the black forest are sealed with powerful spells. How can a witch keep going in and out? Alex said.
Callum, who also knew what he was trying to say, “At this point, I also suspect Elena. After all, someone who knows everything about the pack must be the one behind this,” Callum said. He knew that Elena was the only powerful witch who could have the power to go in and out of the black forest.
“Now. I have to keep an eye on Elena myself. The witch behind this is now the only one who knows who the head of the rogues is.” He continued before walking out of the room.
“What would be done to him?” Alex asked Callum; he was referring to the man who was poisoned.
“We don’t know yet. We’ll look for a way.” Callum replied.
“Get them treated, and call me in case anything happens.” Alex said before walking out of the house.
