Stolen Bite

Chapter 4

Evelyn's POV

This man is giving me such a competition I am not enjoying this. Not even a bit.

I turn to him again and he is already looking at me. And when he notices that I am staring at him, he winks at me. I will really rip his eyeballs!

My wolf Tasha lends me her energy as well and within seconds, me pinning him to the ground and using the silver handcuffs with my bare hands.

They burn me as I hold them but I don't care at this moment. I take his pinned hands and put the cuffs to his wrists and lock them. He does not even flinch.

Once handcuffed, I walk around so I can face him. And he is looking straight into my eyes. I don't like it. Not even a bit!

So I punch him straight in the jaw. I earn a reaction from his crowd. Their yells and cries only acts as my fuel as I punch him more and more. I don't see where I am punching him, all I know is that I hit him real hard when he pukes blood and falls on to the ground with a thud.

And still, I did not feel like having Mercy.

He is a Rogue.! And rogues are never really worthy of mercy. They are only destined to get killed in hands of identified wolves.

"Ev! Ev!! Ev ev evvv!!!" Liam calls for me as he holds me and drags me back.

My eyes still on the Rogue.

"We must get back before the neighbouring packs hears this news" he says.

I look at him.

"I don't think it would be good if other Alphas know that you are brutally assaulting a rogue even before you have power in your hands" he says.

That makes a point.

"But we also have to visit Red Moon Pack. How do we do it with all this happening?" I ask him.

My brain already working at an impossible rate. Many thoughts strike my mind but none seems to be the good one we might go for. Because this time for me is very crucial, I should be good and try to make an impression to everyone else.. to gain their trust.. so that gives me power. The title of Queen of Werewolf World.

"Let us get back to pack!" I tell him.

"Back to the pack? King would be disappointed!" Liam says.

"What if we tell him that I was not feeling well? Let us also shift this rogue to the silver cells. And as for these people..." I trail looking at the Rogue army.

There are easily a 30 of them. Wow! He gathered thirty of them to attack me. And I am also stunned to see even women in their warrior outfits. I even witnessed few fighting my men very well.. while I was observing from the car.

I might only appreciate this rogue for treating women right, but that still does not gain him mercy.

Like I said, A rogue is always destined to die. To get killed.

"Leave them in no man land. A rogue is still weak. And if they lose their Alpha? They get weaker. They will die on their own" I tell Liam.

"Are you sure, Ev?" He asks.

"Do I need to order you as a princess now?" I raise my eyebrow at him.

He does not say anything else. He shakes his head and gently bows. He walks away to take care of the situation. And I trust him, he would make sure no one from the Rogues clan or the king's army would open their mouth to tell what they witnessed here.

Looking at all the Rogues, my hand itches to kill each and every one of them. But I absolutely cannot take any risk right now. One wrong step and that would throw me far away from the title of Queen.

I look at the rogue who is on the ground unconscious. His head is at my feet. His chin is still stained with blood.

He was strong. I felt that in his blocks, moves and twists. But I made him fall. I was punching him was all I remember. But how many punches? I don't know.

I sit there and observe him. He is wearing nice clothes. Rogues usually don't do that. And he is neat. Well groomed. Sharp facial features. Electric eyes. He does not even look like a Rogue in first glance.

You can say I am pleasantly surprised.

"Everything done, Ev! Let us head back to the capital before the news about this breaks out" Liam's voice reaches my ears.

I nod.

"Throw him in our car. Pull the leather sheets up. No one should know we are taking him until we ourselves admit" I tell him.

"In our seats? Are you serious, ev?" He asks.

I nod.

As promised, Liam makes sure he threw the rogue in the seat before us. We both sitting side by side and the thick leather pulled up around us. We had this car made for us, solely for the king that has seats on either side. That means two instead of four.

"Then what about William Brown?" Liam asks as soon as we start our ride back to our pack.

"Arghhhh!!!!!" I groan because I feel like I lost the best opportunity to meet him and see if I am his mate or not.

My hopes were high since I did not find my mate in any other pack. I was pretty positive. I am still positive about it. Because Moon Goddess will surely pair me with a strong and powerful man. A princess and an Omega wouldn't do well.

So it was my serious hunch that he would be my mate. But looks like even Moon Goddess did not want my mate story to happen smooth.

"I don't know. Maybe I should meet him on the coronation day" I tell him.

"When is it?" Liam asks again.

"Two months from today.! I am still trying to wrap my head around this" I say again.

He looks at me with a smile. I narrow my eyes at me and he smiles a little more. What might be running through his mind right now?!

"Can't believe you are going to be the Queen in two months!" He says.

Even I cannot believe it yet. All I have done so far is what a princess should probably not do. Well, at least according to what the stereotypes say.

I spent my childhood playing, running away from school, being the naughtiest kid along with Celia and Liam. Celia though, she is my best friend ever since I can remember.

We used to pray Moon Goddess to pair us up with the same guy. It was back when we were 6 year olds. Little and stupid.

I smile at the memory. How time flies by. Now we both are being called the ruthless and bratty. I mean, I agree. Because my track record says it all. I killed many. Rogues mostly. I tortured people because I thought that is what makes me powerful. And when people bowed to me because they were afraid, I mistook it for power. It was when I was in my teens. Now I am almost twenty one, I am still the same monster but a tamed one.

I only let my inner monster out when it needs to get out. Like today.

"Zoning out?" Liam asks me.

And I nod.

"To?"

"Naive childhood" I say rolling my eyes.

I look at the Rogue before me. Something in me tells me that I have seen him somewhere. I don't exactly know when. But I definitely saw him.

"Did we meet this filth somewhere?" I ask Liam pointing this Rogue.

"I don't think so" Liam shrugs.

But somewhere, I really feel like I saw him.

"Why princess?" The voice of the Rogue startles me for a moment.

He regained his consciousness back again? I hear the car come to a halt with screech. I see Liam mindlinking someone. And once he is done with mindlink, the car starts moving again.

"You feel like you have seen me somewhere?" He asks me and he again looks straight into my eye.

Where is this confidence coming from?! I wish I can find that confidence, grab that and make sure to stomp it under my feet.

"Shut up!" Is my only reply.

And he laughs. His bloody teeth showing off. He has a bruise on his left cheekbone. Must be from when he fell on the ground after he grew unconscious. His upper lip swollen and lower lip bloodied.

His beard has traces of blood. But his blonde hair is still blonde. Neat. I wonder how.

His green eyes just staring into mine as if he is trying to tell me something. If he were some other person, he would have intrigued me. Made me curious to know him more. But being a Rogue, all he is gaining is hatred and disgust from me.

"Don't look at me like that" he says.

I raise my eyebrow. He tilts his head. He looks at Liam and then me. And then the distance between us. He smiles at me. What is he implying?!

"Like what?" I ask him again.

It goes from smile to smirk.

"Like you want me to devour you right here!" He whispers.

I don't waste a second and punch him once again. He does not even groan in pain and that is irritating me a lot. He is not showing any signs of being in pain. I am sure I kicked and punched him a lot but he is still not showing any pain!

I grab a fistful of his hair and yank his head back. He is still, staring into my eyes.

How dare he!

I slap him hard I am sure my hand left marks on his cheek. He is so fair that his cheek is already red.

And to my surprise, he laughs!

He is freaking laughing!!

"Ev! I feel like we are only entertaining me judging by his laugh and body language" Liam says.

"Seriously, Princess!! It is entertaining to watch you lose your temper" The Rogue says.

I try my best not to lose my cool and sit back in my seat. I see the silver handcuffs still burning his skin. But he is not flinching. I am sure it would leave marks on his wrists but he doesn't seem like he cares.

"For a rogue, where is this attitude coming from?" I ask him.

"You have your answer in the question itself, Princess" he smirks.

I raise my eyebrow at him.

"Attitude. Because I am a Rogue. A rogue Alpha at that. I don't have to bow to anybody!!" He says.

Liam and I exchange looks.

"You might be princess to other packs, but not to me. To us. You will be one, when you acknowledge that even Rogues are werewolves too" he smirks.

And I lost my cool once again. I punch him in his stomach.

"I don't mind. And I don't want to be your princess. I refuse to be a princess to Rogues!" I whisper low.

Liam grabs me and pulls me back towards my seat. I sit in there and look at Liam. He shakes his head slightly.

I should not let this Rogue's words get to my head. But my whole body is not under my control. I cannot sit well knowing that I am travelling to my pack with a Rogue right before me. A rogue who is sitting and looking straight into my eyes. A rogue who is smirking before me.

"Stay calm till the coronation. Once done, whatever you do would be the new rule. Not just this filth, we can wipe out the whole Rogue existence" Tasha reminds me.

I am glad my wolf and I are on good terms in everything. Tasha supports me in almost all the criteria. Killing to watering plants, we do it with standing on the same word. Let it be a kind gesture or a criminal act, she is just there behind me.

In other words, I would say my wolf is my shadow.

"But this Rogue is getting on my nerves, Tas!" I whisper to her.

"I know. I can also feel your blood boil with hatred. But remember, the goal is not too far from now. Just a couple of months. So stay calm and don't ruin this golden opportunity!" She warns me.

True! Indeed a golden opportunity.

I have my plan ready. I would tell my father everything about this. Because if the news of this breaks out before coronation, I don't want him to hang his head low before the council. Instead, I want him to answer. To tell them that his daughter did not do it in secrecy. That he knows what she is doing.

The coronation is still two months away. So meanwhile, I can torture this rogue every single day. And it gives me two benefits.

One... Is that he would be my stress buster. I can take all my anger on him and still go unnoticed by the outside world. I can be cruel but only to rogues. But now, we have the rogue Alpha with us. It would be fun.

Two.. I can gather as much as information I can about the rogues through this filth. If you did not observe, this is my new nickname for him. He might be Cole, Alpha Cole or Rogue Alpha to everyone out there. But to me, he is filth!

I come back to reality when the car comes to a halt again. And I know we might have reached our destination. I ask Liam to take care of filth. To throw him in the silver cells by staying as low as he can and then meet me at the palace.

Once I walk into the palace I walk into my father who looks like he is just about to go take a nap.

"Dad!" I yell for him and my voice takes him by surprise.

"Evelyn! Honey!! Are you okay? You must be at-"

"I am fine dad. Just a feud. I captured filth" I tell him.

"Filth?"

"I mean, Cole. The Rogue Alpha. So I had to come back. He is in the silver cells right now" I tell him.

"But Evelyn-"

"I know dad. Send the Red Moon Pack a message that princess is unwell. I will meet the Alpha at the coronation. Also, just know that I will not let you down. I promise" I tell him.

He looks at me. Searching for answers. I half expected him to shout at me but to my surprise, he nods his head.

"Thanks Dad! You are the best!!!" I squeal and kiss him on his cheek.

"But Evelyn! I want you to be careful. That man is not as easy as he seems" My dad warns.

"I captured him, Dad! He is no match to my power" I tell my dad.

"I just want to tell you. Do not underestimate that man's power. He defeated most of the Alphas and still did not claim that land" my father says.

And my eyebrows shot up. I know I never really cared about all such things until few months ago because I was busy partying and running away whenever I want to. But defeating many Alphas and still not claiming their packs?

Is he stupid?

"Because he wants to be a Rogue with pride. He want people to know that Rogues are just like them. He wants rogues to have an identity" Dad says.

Dad pats my head and leaves. Maybe this is why he agreed to have him in the cells. I sensed he is powerful. But defeating not just one Alpha but Alphas?

Okay.

I spot Liam walking to me. And he nods his head. That means mission accomplished.

"Maybe you should rest" he says.

I nod. And he turns around to leave.

"Liam!" I call him out and he stops walking.

Turns around.

"How many punches was it? Earlier?" I ask Liam.

"You didn't know how many punches you threw?" He asks me in amusement.

And to that, I shake my head. Because all I saw was red. That he was Rogue. And all I remember was punching him non stop wherever I could reach.

"Ev!! You almost threw sixty punches without a break with your Wolf's strength.!"
