Michael’s POV
“Alright guys, what are we dealing with??” I asked Derek as soon as I got back inside.
“Am not sure man, but I think that the warriors have found the hideouts of the rogues.” He responded.
“What?? So soon?? How the hell did they find them??” I asked once more.
Derek told me how the warriors discovered the secret hideout of the rogues, deep in the woods. They were simply combing the area surrounding the house I want to buy when they stumbled upon their secret location.
From the way he described their discoveries, it sounded like a pack of wolves that came together to form a pack. It sounds so unbelievable that the rogues could be living together in unity like a normal pack.
I simply can’t believe it until I witness it with my own very eyes. I simply do not want to believe that everything I know about the rogues is a lie. That would simply mean that my father is the villain and I just can’t accept that.
“Get the guys ready Reks, we’re going there right now to check it out. I’ll go freshen up and meet you all at the parking lot.
Oh, before I forget girls, I just canceled your outing date with Arabella. We can all hang out later, when we get back.” I let out.
“Why the hell would you do that??” Josephine asked exasperated.
“Because she is my mate and I deserve to spend more time with her. Is that enough reason??” I asked with sarcasm, laughing out loud as they huffed and whined in a sassy tone, calling me a brute as they stumped out of my suite.
“Thanks man. You’ve succeeded in making the rest of our day miserable.” Derek remarked angrily.
“You do know that you just pissed them off, don’t you??” Brian added.
“Yeah whatever, deal with it.” I responded smugly.
“How do you expect us to deal with them when they are both pissed off at you??? You have to make it up to them man or trust me, I’ll bring them along on our mission and you will be forced to bear the brunt of their anger also.” Derek threatened with an evil smirk on his face.
I know he’s so damn serious. Those ladies can be so damn frustrating when they are pissed. Damn!!! I pray Arabella does not turn out to be like them because it’s going to be so fucking hard to deal with them all if they decide to team up against us.
I don’t even want to imagine it!!
“Alright guys, you win.” I said with a defeated sigh as I mind linked the ladies and promised to take all three of them shopping first before we go out.
They laughed and giggled happily, promising to be in their best behaviors whenever she is around. Hearing them talk about their behavior in her presence just reminded me of our secret so I broadened our mind link and included everyone, including the omega’s and the warriors, and I released my aura on them all as I sounded the warning,
“Arabella does not know that we are Lycans and I want it to remain that way until I decide otherwise. Watch what you say whenever she is around. She thinks I am just an Alpha, She has no idea that I am the prince.
You must address me as Alpha in her presence and never ever mention anything relating to the king and queen when shes around.
That’s an order!!” I said sternly, and they all responded, “Yes Prince Michael,” before I ended our mind link and turned to Derek and Brian who refused to leave until I pacify their pissed off mates.
“You can both leave my room now, they are no longer pissed off, I just promised to take them shopping before we head out for our hang out, And just to be clear, I didn’t do it because you threatened me Reks, I simply do not want them to ruin tonight for Bella and I.
So they are not angry, And you guys don’t need to hide in my room anymore. Everyone is happy now and it’s a win-win situation for me because I still get to spend time with my sweet cupcake.” I said with a huge grin.
“Ewwww, is that what you call her??” Brian asked as he scrunched up his face, feigning disgust.
“That’s none of your fucking business, now get the hell out of my room.” I yelled as I glared at him. They both chuckled as they turned to leave but Derek turned around and said,
“Is there a reason why you don’t want her to know that you are the prince??
You know you can trust us with anything right??” he asked calmly, giving me a very serious look.
“Thanks man, I trust you guys with my life, but I still want to be sure that my suspicions are correct, before I can share it with you guys.”
They nodded their heads in understanding before turning around to leave the room. I did plan to tell them everything someday but not now. But that can only be after I’ve uncovered the mysteries surrounding our destiny.
The mysterious couple in our dreams said her wolf is blessed and we are destined to end this feud between the rogues and the Lycans. I need to know how all these mysterious events are related before I can open up to them.
I turned around and headed back inside to go shower and get ready for our mission. I did not even realize that I’ve been standing on the same spot since they walked out that door.
When I got out of the shower, I got dressed in my black tux and an Italian black shoe, I was going on a diplomatic mission so I needed to look the part. I put on my royal ring that stands as a symbol of my power and authority.
It’s a good thing that I took it off when I arrived here else Arabella would have caught on to my lies because every werewolf recognizes these symbols of authority.
I picked my phone from the dresser table and walked out of the room. When I got to the parking lot, the guys were already standing by the car, waiting for me.
I felt her eyes on me and when I turned around I saw her staring at me from her suite on the fifth floor of her hotel. I smiled warmly at her and she responded with a smile of her own, with a little wave of her smooth soft hand.
“I’ll see you soon cupcake,” I said through our special mind link, watching with my Lycan eyes as a blush spread all over her beautiful face.
“I’ll see you soon, My love.” she answered back, doing that sexy gesture of biting down on her lips. I think she is not conscious of her actions, it is just a part of her.
“Stop doing that it or I’ll be forced to come up there and kiss that sexy, plump lips of yours.” I warned with a warm smile as I turned around and got into the car. I could hear her voice as she chuckled at my threats.
We drove off and headed back to my new house. I did not get the key from Bella so One of the guys picked the lock of the gate so we can drive into the house. We parked our cars on the driveway, leaving some two of the warriors behind while the others lead us through the woods, taking us to the hideouts of the rogues.
I wonder how we would have gotten here if Derek had not sent some of the guys to go get us these SUVs. It would have been super weird if we came back here with those hired cars. The drivers would have called the cops on us when they see us picking the locks and breaking in. It would have been so damn embarrassing.
These guys weren’t joking when they chose these woods as their hideout. Its so fucking deep. We kept going deeper and deeper into the woods and it seems to never end.
The guys signaled us when we got close to their hideout.
Finally!!!
I let out with a sigh.
And Just like I thought, it was built just like a pack. I spotted some warriors patrolling the borders and I know that if we get past them, we would arrive at the packhouse, the same way it is in every werewolf pack.
“Did you guys manage to get past them??” I asked my warriors through our link.
“No, my prince. We came right back to inform you of our discoveries.” the team leader responded calmly.
I nodded approvingly at him, telling him silently that I love the way he handled it. I would have been so pissed if they had attacked without my permission.
“Good call guys, Now let’s go in. We are here to attack them or cause any trouble. Just follow my lead and do exactly as I say.” I ordered them as I walked forward and came up to their border.
“Hold it right there.
Who are you??
This is private property!!!
Turn around right now!!
Leave now or we won’t be held responsible for anything that happens to you.” The warriors warned continuously, throwing threats around.
I smiled smugly as I released my aura to suppress them. I smiled when they realized who I was and their eyes grew wide in absolute shock.
“Don’t release your Aura on them. You won’t be able to conceal it completely before we return back to the hotel, Bella could sense it off you and I don’t want her to find out yet.” I warned them through the link before turning back to the border patrols that looked like they just saw a ghost. Their faces are white with fear and they looked stricken with fear.
“I am Prince Michael Angelo, Son of the king of all wolves, Justin Angelo… Future King of all wolves.. In the name of the King, I demand to see your Alpha right now.” I ordered fiercely, releasing my aura in large waves to suppress them.
They bowed their head in submission, baring their neck open before me.
“You, lead us to the packhouse, The rest of you can stay back here and keep watch on your border.”
He complied immediately and turned around, leading us more deeper and deeper into the Wood’s, it seems like it’s never gonna end. There must be a path, somewhere in these woods that they use whenever they are going into town.
I’ll have to find out from the Alpha because am certainly not walking back through these woods when we are heading back. I just hope our meeting go as planned.
Thirty minutes after we left the border, we arrived at the pack house. It looks better than I imagined. If they weren’t rogues, I would have thought that this was one of the richest packs that I’ve ever visited.
It looks so modern and sophisticated. I guess its all the money they got from raiding other packs and stealing from them. The King would seize and confiscate everything if he finds them.
As we walked towards the extremely large pack house that’s up ahead, I noticed that everyone in the pack were living their lives happily. They don’t look like slaves or prisoners.
The reports we got said that the rogues raids and kidnapped poor innocent members of the packs that they attack. We were led to believe that the rogues were coercing other wolf’s to join their revolt.
But that’s not the vibes am getting around here. They all look so happy and everywhere is so calm and peaceful. Are you sure these people are the rogues that’s causing all those crises with the other packs??
Its just do unthinkable. I just don’t know what to believe anymore. But I know that I have to hear their own side of the story. It could help me understand what is really going on here and I would be able to report back to my father, that is If I find anything worth reporting.
I guess the guys that stayed back at the border must have informed them of or arrival through their mind link. When we arrived at the pack house, the Alpha or should I say leader of the rogues stood outside with his high ranked wolves and some warriors surrounding them, ready for a fight. They must think that we are here for war or something, they look prepared for it and am forced to believe that they have always been ready for when we would finally find them.
“No son of Justin Angelo is welcomed here. Leave now and never come back, we do not want a fight. We just want to live our lives in peace.” Their Alpha said in a fierce and angry tone as he leveled is a very stern gaze.
“Enough with the threats already, we are not here for war. I came here to talk and I ain’t going nowhere until I get the answers to my questions. You can do this the easy way or the hard way, Your choice.” I responded with a smirk that made me look like an evil genius.
I hope he picks the easy way because I really don’t want to hurt anyone. I just want to set things right, just like am destined to.
