Chapter 77 

The room lapsed into silence again hearing about Angelina’s words. 

What she was saying about the Rogue King got everyone intrigued. 

“You know the Rogue King personally?” Glen asked. “What is the Rogue King like? We know so little about this person that we aren’t even sure about the person’s gender.” 

“And neither do I. Rogue King is quite a mysterious person. Like the God to rogues, everyone has heard about the name, but none had seen the guy in person. I think the Rogue King did this on purpose. The aura of mystery and intrigue reinforces its supremacy.” 

Angelina walked over and sat down by Aurora’s side. 

“Tell us more,” Maxie demanded eagerly. “What else do you know about this guy?” 

“All I heard are rumors. The Rogue King wasn’t born to be a ruler. Unlike us, the rogues don’t have a clear system of inheritance-” 

“But we don’t either,” Jeff frowned. “We only chose to follow our Alphas because they are strong and capable.” 

“Yet they had their Alpha bloodline, which gives them the Alpha aura. That’s why in our society, the Alpha family’s offspring is destined to be the strongest ones.” 

Aurora nodded approvingly. 

Before she was claimed back to Ever Moon Pack, she too was a weak girl who got nothing to fight back to her bullies. Her Alpha aura was awakened once she claimed her last name back and that gave her strength and power. 

Of course, her becoming the Gamma had a lot to do with her tough trainings. But she couldn’t have done it without her aura. 

Steven clicked his tongue impatiently, “So now you are giving us a history on Werewolf inheritance? How is this related to the Rogue King?” 

“I am just getting to my point,” Angelina said. “Rogues are mostly commoners, including the Rogue King himself. Most of them don’t have a strong physique and trained fighting skills like we do. And that guy didn’t become the King because he is a great warrior or anything… He depends on his mind.” 

“You mean he is smart?” Steven asked. 

“More than smart, the Rogue King is cunning, manipulative, and witted. There once were two groups of rogues who weren’t happy with his reign. Instead of attacking them both, the King managed to turn them against each other and let them take care of themselves. Don’t you see the issue here? He is doing the same to you guys!” 

An awkward silence fell upon the room. 

Steven moved uneasily in his seat. He opened his mouth wanting to challenge Angelina back, but no words came out. 

“Planting a mole among us is no big deal. Sooner or later, we will dig the mole out. But he has gotten you to distrust your fellow soldiers, and that is the scariest part.” Angelina said with a stern voice, “The rogues are not as trained as we do. But we must watch out for their dirty schemes.” 

Maxie, Aurora and Glen all nodded with approval. Yet Steven still seemed unconvinced. 

“That was a lot of pretty words you said, but how does that help with our current situation?” he snorted. “We are about to discuss our next move. Should we exclude anyone from this discussion? If we should, who do we exclude?” 

Angelina said, “We can learn from the Rogue’s wit. Choose a leader from this alliance and follow his or her orders with no questions asked. And the leader only shares parts of the battle plan to the subordinates. This way we can keep the mole from knowing too much.” 

The Gammas looked at one another. 

“That is actually not a bad idea,” Jeff shrugged. “I guess we do need a leader sooner or later. And I vote for Alpha Damien. Silver Blade Pack was the first to propose this alliance. And I am willing to follow his command.” 

“Me too,” Glen said. “He has the experience.” 

“And ability,” Maxie added. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Aurora looked towards Damien with a smile. Her eyes gleamed brightly, “I trust him with my full heart.” 

Damien looked back at her, his gaze soft. 

“Alright, you love birds!” Jeff cried and turned towards Steven, “That leaves you to vote man. Are you with us or not?”

“I don’t see what other choices I have. It’s 4 against I no matter what,” said Steven grumpily. 

“Alright! It settles then,” Jeff clapped his hands together. “Alpha Damien is officially our new leader.” 

“But what about the pack business? Can you leave Silver Blade for that long?” Aurora asked. 

Damien nodded, “The elders can manage. They can shoot me a message whenever something urgent comes up…Now. Let’s get back to our next 

move.” 

He tapped his finger on the map. 

“Tomorrow at dawn we will leave for Crimson Fortress. We don’t have much time. So get your soldiers ready,” he said. 

“What about the mole?” Steven asked. 

“I’ll figure out a plan,” Damien replied with a deadpan face. 

“What plan? Don’t tell me you are just going to leave it—” 

“You have just agreed to take my orders with no question asked. And it is how this ruse works,” Damien said icily. “Don’t make me repeat myself again.” 

Steven’s jaw tightens. He quivered away from Damien’s gaze. 

“The meeting is dismissed,” Damien said. 

All Gammas stood up and filed out through the door. Aurora was behind Angelina. When they came out to the hallway, she was stunned to find a woman sitting on the bench outside. 

It was Chloe. 

Chloe seemed even more wore out than the last time Aurora saw her. She was nibbling her nails and murmuring something hysterically. Aurora vaguely caught a few words like “Luna” “bitch” “go to hell.” 

“Do you take her with you everywhere?” Aurora asked Angelina. 

“I kinda have to. She needs a guardian. Or the minute I am gone, she snaps,” Angelina frowned, “Truth to be told, I am not sure if she is faking it to let my guard down. So I have to keep a close eye on her.” 

Then she looked towards Maxie by Aurora’s side, “Gamma Maxie, I have a request. I am thinking about going to the battlefield with you. My past experience with the rogues might be helpful.” 

“Umm, yeah. But your situation is a bit tricky…” Maxie replied reluctantly. 

“I have the smith crafted a pair of artificial hands for me. So don’t worry. I can keep myself safe.” 

Maxie looked to Aurora asking for her advice. Aurora thought for a moment and nodded, “I don’t see why. We need as much helps as we can find. Just remember to watch out for Chloe if you are bringing her.” 

“No problem. Thank you for this opportunity. I promise to be useful,” Angelina smiled. 

Angelina walked to Chloe and got her out of the bench. Chloe was giggling like a lunatic, drooling all over the place. It seemed that she had really lost her sanity. 

Maxie looked at Angelina and Chloe’s back and let out a long sigh, “Don’t know why…but I just have a really bad feeling about this upcoming war. With the Rogue King and the mole… Who do you think the mole can be?” 

“Could be anyone,” Aurora shook her head. 

“I just kept wondering in my head,” Maxie looked around them and lowered her voice. “Hey, does Steven look suspicious to you? He seemed really jumpy since yesterday.” 

Aurora bit her lips and said nothing. 

Angelina told them to forget about their doubts and worked together. 

But could they really do it? 

Suspicion was a part of the human nature. Even though they all shook hands on Damien being the leader, who knew what everyone had been thinking internally? 

Till the mole was dug out, this alliance would still be at stake.
