Damien and Aurora made the decision to leave for the Great Canyon tomorrow at midnight.

Their main target for this trip was to find out more information about the Rogue King. So that they could be better prepared when they met this mysterious figure again on the battlefield.

And if they saw the Rogue King, they would also take the chance and act on it. Killing that son of a bitch was the best way to end this war.

In order to be more discrete, Damien only planned on telling a small group of people that they were leaving.

On the following day of Veronica’s death, Damien called the Gammas, Jared, Angelina, Kaelan, Rivena and Glen into his tent.

Then Aurora informed them about her and Damien’s plan.

Steven was the one to voice out his objection.

“Are

you guys both crazy?” he cried, “Veronica just died. Right here in this city. Which means that the Rogue King’s man is right by our side! Now we should be focusing on finding the murder, instead of sending our best Alpha and best warrior straight to hell!”

The others didn’t say anything. But Aurora could tell from their facial expression that they all agreed with Steven.

“Damien, you are always a calm and wise person.” Jeff frowned looking at Damien, “This can’t be your idea.”

“In fact, this is exactly my idea.” Damien said deeply, “Even if we can locate the murder this time, the Rogue King can still send more people here and keep stirring the water. This is what he is good at–stabbing us in the back. And we don’t even know who he really is. We need to find a way to force him to come out.”

“And don’t worry about our safety.”

Aurora added to that.

“The Rogue King had never dared to come at us directly. He always hides in the darkness and let his puppets do the dirty work. Which further proves our theory that the Rogue King himself is not a good warrior nor a person with strong physique. Damien and I won’t be in threatening danger.”

Everyone in this room lapsed into silence.

Aurora was right.

Both she and Damien were strong werewolves. Even

“But…but what about the murderer?”

Maxie asked after a long pause.

“If you and Alpha go to the Great Canyon, who will leave behind and lead the searching work? We still need a leader in this city.”

“You guys.”

Damien looked around the room and said, “You are my most

trust my plan. After we leave, you will stay here and keep this city safe.”

He clenched his fists and looked at Damien. His eyes glittered in anger and hatred.

“That bastard killed Veronica. I fucking want to rip his throat apart! So please, give you!” he hissed.

Aurora and Damien exchanged a brief look.

“Sure. If you insist,” Damien nodded.

“Oh please.”

Jared wrapped an arm around his shoulder and smiled.

“You were always there by my side helping me with everything when we were little. Just let me help you out this time, OK?”

He then looked towards Damien, “Permission to get onboard, Alpha Damien?”

“We can use your help but…” Damien pondered. “If you come with us, there will be no Alpha left in this city.”

“I can call Alpha Lance and invite him over later. It won’t be an issue,” Rivena suggested.

Right, Lance.

Aurora rubbed her temple and let out a sigh internally,

She hadn’t got a chance to tell her brother about this plan yet.

She could already imagine his anger when he heard about this later. Lance was a very protective person. He would never agree to this if he were

here.

Good thing was that she would already be gone by the time he got here.

“Alright. So that is settled,” Aurora clapped her hands. “Jared, Glen, Damien, and I will be leaving today around midnight-

“Count me in,” Kaelan said abruptly.

He was standing in the back of this crowd. No one paid any attention to him before he spoke up.

Now he pushed through the crowd and walked up to Damien and Aurora.

“I am coming with you,” he said firmly.

“You?”

Damien narrowed his eyes.

“The people going are either Alpha or Gamma. What makes you think that you are qualified?”

“I was a Rogue.” Kaelan said in a steady voice. “I know about stuffs. If you are going into the rogue’s territory, don’t you someone from the inside?”

Damien frowned slightly. He still didn’t trust Kaelan with his full heart.

“This is your call,” he said to Aurora.

Aurora smiled and offered Kaelan her hand. “Of

am glad that you are here with me.”

“Always,” Kaelan held her hand and said solemnly.

So a small group of 5 was formed with Aurora, Damien, Jared, Glen and Kaelan. This group was just the right size. They got enough help but also wouldn’t have to worry about attracting other’s attention.

After the meeting, Aurora led Angelina to the side and warned her about Chloe.

“I think she has something to do with Veronica’s death,” Aurora said

Angelina widened her eyes, “You do? Do

“I don’t.”

Aurora shook her head.

“And I know that her alibi checks out and the wound size doesn’t make

sense. But my gut is telling me this–Chloe is off.”

Angelina murmured, “I thought she has changed…” Yet even she sounded less sure at this moment.

“Yes, people change, but not that quickly. And I kept thinking back to that day when she was gone all afternoon. She claimed that she was not feeling so well and was resting in her tent. But I clearly saw her around that Smith Shop. Now that I think back to it, I should never let it slide.”

11:34 AM

Aurora looked at Angelina and said in a serious voice, “I am probably just paranoid…but do keep an eye on her. Plus that Silas and his wife from the Smith Shop.”

“Will do,” Angelina nodded.

After a day of preparation, the group of them gathered at the North Gate and was ready to leave the city under the cover of darkness.

The rest who decided to stay all come to see them off.

Aurora hugged her dear friends one by one. When she got to Rivena, she sighed and said, “Don’t let Lance get too mad at me, alright?”

“Well, I can’t control that.” Rivena chuckled, “You can tell him to calm down yourself when you come back safe. Oh and Kaelan, try your best to protect our Gamma, alright?”

Kaelan nodded, “You have my word.”

Angelina stepped up at this moment and handed Aurora a box of snacks, “I packed you some food. Good luck with everything.”

“Thank you,” Aurora smiled.

She looked around her side, “Ready to leave?”

Members of her group nodded together.

They all shifted into their wolves and dashed out of the Crimson Fortress. They were heading north.

Soon they would leave the border line and set foot into the rogue’s territory, a mysterious land full of unknown danger.

This time they would finally get to meet their biggest rival, the Rogue King.
