3rd person’s POV
I want you to take his body to the morgue and have it examined, “I want to know the type of poison he just took.” Dimitri ordered.
Dimitri stood between Loius and Kate the shock hasn’t leave Kate’s face just yet.
She had never witness a Man took his own life just like that.
The Rogues are regrouping, Dimitri said.
We need to let the Council know about this, so I want you to send out a message to the Werewolf Council and the other packs once again about another occurrence of sighting a rogue at our northern border, but this time around he was caught but took his own life by swallowing the poison he had in his mouth already just before we could get him to talk.
Right away, Louis said.
Dimitri turned to face the guards standing, just as you can see, the rogues are regrouping and I see they are planning on something huge, so we must not slacken on our patrols. You all must be on a alert just as you’ve been.
Let’s go, Dimitri said to Kate.
They both turned on their heels and left.

The Elders alongside Sir Cedric the head warrior and Sir Roland the second in command were waiting for Dimitri in the hall,
The murmur reduced as Dimitri and Kate stepped in,
And there was silence immediately Dimitri and Kate took their sit.
We welcome the Alpha and Luna, they greeted in chorus with a slight nod.
Just as Dimitri want to start talking, Louis stepped in and took his sit just in his space.
He gave Dimitri a slight nod to inform him he had done what he requested him to do.
“The guards sighted yet another rogue at the Northern Border, and they were able to capture him but he took his life just before we could get him to talk.” Dimitri said.
“Just as we are on a vigilance, we would continue to be,
I see they are trying to penetrate into our pack and we must not allow them.” He added
“Since they are trying to come in our pack, we need to restrict our people from going out of the pack, so as to ensure their safety.” Sir Lucas said.
Everyone nodded in agreement
I would want you to help join the doctors in the examine of the rogue body, to identify the kind of poison that worked so rapidly like that, ” Dimitri said facing Sir Gareth.
“So we should work on this and stay focused on the preparing more of our Men ready for any battle that might come forth, even if the ally packs will profer support by providing Men, we must be strong on our own and also have it at the back of our mind that all packs are still recovering from the battle against the Zues.” Dimitri said.
“And we don’t what the rogues are planning on, we might not be the only pack they’re targeting, so we need to be prepared” he added.

Later that afternoon, Kate was back at their chamber, sitting in just by the window she was sitting earlier that morning.
Immediately after the meeting with the elders, Dimitri and Louis had been in his office deliberating on how to track down the rogues that had escape during the battle they had fought at the ancient forest, it just some hours to her personal training, and she have been having a lot of thought, the strengthen of the warriors, the building of her own personal self, the having herself prepared for the challenge that lies ahead.
She have been having some conversation with Lyka, conversation she didn’t seem to understand just yet, and she would be needing someone probably an Elder who can help her in understanding something’s.
Then she remembered Madam Elena, her old aunty she is the only one that knows about her third chance life and her death, but going to the Twilight Fang Pack now seem to be impossible especially now that she had already denounce her father and the Twilight Fang Pack.
Now she have no choice than to find someone to confide in here.
Sir Gareth and Madam Alice seem to be a good fit for her, they might have information that could help her in getting ready for whatever that might lie ahead.
The sound of the door opening bring her out of her thought.
Dimitri stepped into the room,
Why is everywhere so quite, Dimitri said.
“I’m just… thinking,” Kate said. “About everything. About what the rogues the magical disappearance, the rapid killing poisonous substance, what he had said about us thinking we have won and wh- she paused as she remember she doesn’t want to bother him with what Lyka had told her is coming just yet,”
Even if she will inform him, she need to tell him about her third chance life first.
Dimitri’s moved closer to her, standing just by the window and have his eyes fixed as he gaze into the forest “I haven’t stopped thinking about that either. If the rogues are planning on something we need to figure it out as soon as we can.”
It’s time for Kate’s personal training, she stood up and went ahead to change into her training gear,
Dimitri also joined in I could use some exercise, he said.
The sudden appearance of the rogues have had Dimitri disturbed more than he is showing it, just when he had thought they had gotten rid of all the rogues, they are here lurking around his pack.
What did they want from his pack, he had wondered.
Even if they’re coming back for the Silverwood Trees why don’t they focus on the ancient forest, why are they closing in on his pack.
He had been having sleepless nights even though he pretends to be sleeping while just lying on the bed silently since two weeks ago, since the first appearance of a rogue and how he had suddenly disappeared into thin air.
And today again another reappearance and another shocking ending of his life.
He needs to inform Kate about his weakness, the weakness that hadn’t only put a dent on his reputation, it has also put fear of losing another close one in his heart, he doesn’t know if he will ever be able put a hold on Drey again or if the presence of Kate could still calm Drey down if it ever happen.
He get dressed as well and she and Kate head to the training yard.
As they reach the training yard, they met Lia who is already waiting for them at the training yard.
Dimitri strode to the other end where weight lift are carefully arranged living Lia and Kate to do their thing.
“I will only be doing meditation today, Kate inform Lia.
Alright then, Lia replied.
Kate sat down on the floor and begin with her meditation.
She did this and started having conversation with Lyka.
Hey Lyka, so you said I should think of why my wolf was suppressed by my step and while having a much deeper thought, I was able to remember some of her words I never gave a thought.
In some occasions when she is hitting me as usual I could remember what my step mother had had blurted out saying something about some prophecy, about her not seeing me becoming the destroyer of a worldender the prophecy had said I would be.
And even if I am she will ensure I didn’t become it.
I could remember how she would threaten whenever she is beating me not to ever let me be who I am suppose to be, how I will always be nothing but an Half Breed weak Wolf.
Does this have anything to do with the purpose you had stated earlier. You had also said I should thought of the reasons why I was given a third chance life.
“And while reading the journal of Queen Amora, who was given a third chance life twenty thousand years ago, I was able to find out she was given a third chance life because there was a prophesy when she was born and the prophesy is how she would be the one to reshape the future, which she was able to do.”
So could the prophesy my stepmother had also be true about and when you say I have a purpose ahead could it be it was this prophesy said when I was born.
But if it is why didn’t my father inform me about, why did he see me as weak, why did he not take good care of me, he had allowed me to be maltreated by my stepmother.
Kate went on and on asking questions about the purpose and the prophesy she just remembered her stepmother use to clamour about.
“Relax,” Lyka cut in
Let’s treat this one by one, yes I said you should try to think of a reason of why your stepmother suppressed your wolf.
And yes you’ve been able to come up with what you remembered whenever she was hitting you, I know it wasn’t easy remembering those hurtful moments but it’s a necessity for you to, so to answer your questions.
Yes their was a prophesy when you were born, you were born during the time of the Half Moon and this is the reason why the Moon Goddess keeps giving you chances when you died without fulfilling the prophesy.
And the challenges I said lies ahead are those that will try to stop you from achieving the prophesy, you must be ready and strong enough to overcome what ever obstacles they might bring your way.
“But how did you know I am the one the prophesy is for, I am not the only one born during the time I was born and there might be someone else that they Moon Goddess has given a third chance life right now somewhere.” Kate said.
Kate sigh, doubts full her mind everything Lyka was saying seem to be confusing to her, her mother was even a human, so how can a Half Breed be born with a prophesy.
You said some people will come to stop me, why.
What is my dealings with them, I can understand my step mother is trying to stop me because she was jealous, how about this people, I don’t have any relationship with them and how will they no me, nobody even knew I am living a third chance life right now, so how will they know I am the one the prophesy is talking about?”
Well on this earth some people are powerful to know the unknown, to see the unseen, that is the kind of person that will try to stop you, Lyka said.
Kate smirk, so you expect me that I don’t even have any power or special skills to fight against the one that has power.
And who told you, you don’t have power, Lyka interjected.
All you just have to do is be patient and keep on working on yourself and let it manifest.
Kate sat down still bewildered with what Lyka just revealed to, her mind full of doubt, the prophesy, the power creature that will try to stop by her, her skills that will manifest.
She shrugged, let wait and see then.
But I need to inform Dimitri, I need to open up to him.
She opened her eyes Dimitri standing in her front, what are you thinking about, I have been calling your name.
Oh I was just reflecting on something, Kate said.
And what is it all about, Dimitri asked.
It’s nothing, Kate said trying to hide her expression.
Hope you know, you can share your thoughts with me.
Dimitri said with a low voice.
For us to build a strong Pack together we shouldn’t hide from ourselves.
I need to tell you something about me, Dimitri said.
