Chapter 23

After the fight between Moonshadow Packs of Shadowborn Kingdom, the Rogues' first

Alpha Draco, called an urgent meeting.

He summoned the presence of his secret agents who served as a spy inside the Shadowborn Palace.

'Is everyone here?", Alpha Draco uttered after making his way to his golden chair.

He was sitting at the center of a long metal table where his loyal comrades are waiting for his upcoming plans.

"My Lord, Caleb linked me that he can't come since his wife Lyca is in labor for their first child." Enzo , Dante 's beta informed Draco which made him roared.

"This meeting is important but he chose to stay with his wife. Well, this will be his last warning!", he said coldly.

Caleb knew that Draco is his cousin's enemies especially in protecting territories but he can't stay loyal to them forever since Queen Aurelia was never been good to him when he was a little boy. He remembered when she slaps his mom in front of many people because she was wrongfully suspected as the palace spy. It was all in the past but Caleb promised before his mom Raquel died that he will become one of the respected Alpha of the Blue Moon Packs and it's happening now.

Since he joined Draco's team, he then met

Enzo and was surprised to know that he's one of the traitors inside the Shadowborn Palace.

Enzo on the other hand shifted his gaze to a mysterious girl wearing a red cape covering her mouth with a black mask.

She came inside and Draco welcomed her presence which made Enzo think who is she.

"You came. Come here, my gem. I know you won't disappoint me and I will never let you down this time!", he said and Enzo 's jaw dropped to realized that it was Cora .

He had no idea that she decided to be on Draco's side.

"Cora ? You're here too? I thought-", he taped his mouth.

Alpha Draco knew what Enzo meant so he continued his words. A smirk came across his face.

" Yes, Enzo . I and Cora knew each other for so long. She asks for my help when Dante dumped her." Draco said and Enzo 's mind turned shady.

If Dante dumped Cora a year ago, why was he kept finding her? Did something happen between the two of them?

Enzo set a smile on his face.

"Well, since both of us are part of the gang, I am glad to see you alive and well Cora . I am hoping for your help in the future!" Dante 's beta announced.

After their conversation, Alpha Draco started their agenda.

"Cora , do you know the monster who attacks you?", he quickly asked her.

Cora took off her mask and all of them saw the deep scars on her face.

"Who did that to you? Is that the one you battled two days ago?", Draco asked her.

"Yes. She made this to me. She's different and she's dangerous. I will come back to kill her for sure." She set a sharp glare.

Gossips and whispers can be heard inside the room. Even Alpha Draco looks troubled. It's his first time to know that there was another hybrid werewolf to be named after centuries had passed. The only hybrid werewolf he knew that looks like a giant Lycan was the newly crowned Alpha King of Shadowborn Kingdom.

He slammed his palm against the metal table.

"Don't focus on her. We need to take down Dante and I heard he has a twin?

Is that true?", his gaze jumps to each one of them until he stops at Enzo .

" Maybe you know the story, right?", his looks seem intriguing.

Enzo quickly cleared his throat. He seems reluctant to tell the story between the twins because even he was shocked when Asher suddenly came and introduced himself as Dante 's long-lost twins. Even the Queen didn't talk about her other son for a long time.

"Mhmm, actually, the truth was, it's my first time to see his twin. I will report you if I'll find anything." He promised the Alpha of the rogues.

After their meeting, Cora and Enzo decide to see each other secretly in the wilderness. These two have their agenda too aside from being the spies for Alpha Draco.

Cora and Enzo we're both have grudges at Dante and his mother except his twin Asher but his twin looks mysteriously hiding secrets too knowing that he lived many years in the human world. They're afraid that he can be a big threat too.

Frostfang Market

A place where Enzo and Cora met for their next plan.

"Did you approach Dante ? We need three more days before we start the plan." He informed Cora .

She, the cursed she-wolf bit her lower lip and smile at him. It looks like she had an advance agenda in her mind.

" Well, I know he still loves me. He can' forget me easily since I am his first girl to mark with his wolf Hugo. Besides, I can bewitch him with Astra's position."

She told me with great confidence.

He just shrugged his shoulders after listening to her.

"How about you? I heard Ashina was kind to you. Did she ask for your help? I thought Dante gave her a hard time. So she's asking your help by now!", Cora started to challenge him.

Enzo raises his eyebrows and sets a smirk on his face. He crossed his arms on his chest and make a heads up high.

"You don't know me, Cora . Watch and I'II do my job well." He mumbled and that ends their conversation.

Cora and Enzo bid goodbyes on each other and he quietly went back to the palace without any troubles.

He was about to go inside his room located behind the palace' when he had a glimpse of Ashina 's image at the peripheral part of his eyes.

He walked back to check if it was her and he was right. He came closer.

He saw Ashina outside in the middle of the night. He was confused.

How can Dante let his slave went out without his permission? Or did he just let her go like this? Something was off.

"Ca--Ashina ? What are you doing outside this midnight?", he asked her until he realized that she's crying.

She quickly wiped off her wet face. She sniffs in between her sobs. She turned to face Enzo whom she recognizes to be a good person.

"Oh, you're Dante 's right-hand right?

The famous Beta Enzo . The one who asks my name at the Frostfang market?", she softly uttered.

Enzo suddenly bursts into laughter.

Ashina then realized that he had great teeth. His tan skin suited to his brown-shaded eyes, thick eyebrows, and thin red lips. He's the type of guy who looks very manly.

"Yeah, it's me. I thought you forget me." he uttered and she shook her head.

"Of course not. I cant forget a guy so shameless like you!", Ashina good to him and he felt hurt about it but in a sarcastic way.

"What? Me? Shameless? No. I'm not a cool guy. Dante isn't the best among the Alphas that's why many girls hooked up to him just like you!", he added but Ashina suddenly changes the mood around them.

Her face saddened. Enzo noticed it.

"Why? Are you crying? Did Dante force you to sleep with you? Tell me!",

Enzo behaved like her night and shining armor at this moment.

She took a deep breath after wiping off the tears on her face.

"He just marks me tonight! I just sneak out while he was sleeping." She told everything to Enzo without even knowing how dangerous he was to all of the people in the palace.

Three hours earlier…

Layla decided to leave the palace with a heavy heart. She has no choice since the omega werewolf had no power to opposed the palace's orders.

Ashina chose to stay with her master Dante even it's against her will.

She had a happy family before. Her life was simple until she was summoned to attend the party and that changes her peaceful life to a miserable one. Until her first night with Dante .

"Are you still nervous?", the alpha king whispers behind her ears while his lips started to kiss her neck down to her

chest.

Ashina was laying below him with her trembling body. She's uncomfortable in their position. It's not just a play. Tonight, Dante decided to mark her as his slave's mate. He doesn't love her, he always told her and it's fine for her just for the sake of her family.

When Dante bit her neck so badly,

Ashina flinched.

"It's okay. You will get used to it every night!", he said and she almost cried out when the Alpha King roughly crawled his hands in between her thighs and pushed his middle finger inside. her virgin hole.

"Shit, Ashina , you're still really a virgin?", he looks thrilled.
