4 Chapter 4 - Rogues Attack

Reina POV

Everyone of us have a shock on our faces, it has been few years before we encounter one like this. Why now, everything is so peaceful before. Why would some rogues began to attack us?

"Reina !" My father shouted at me giving me a snap out from my thoughts. I quickly turn my gaze on him and saw the seriousness on his face but mixed with concern, he knew right away that something was off. Did he know about this?

"Bring the all the mother and child to the safe house, do not go outside until I say so. The rest of you who can fight, come with me. " He commanded, some of our women who knew how to fight go along with him together with the other warriors and fighters. They are moving towards the gate when my father mind linked me,

"After you bring others to the safe house, come immediately to my office, look for an old book covered in red velvet, it was located under one of the cabinet's shelves. Do not open it. Then run towards the southern border of the capital, follow the west route. Do not look back. Whatever happen, keep the book safe !" He told me while I am still guiding the mother and the young pups to the safe house, I am as shock as everyone else and bit of curious, why would my father wanted me to keep safe an old book in a situation like this?. Is it more valuable than to fight and protect our pack? I wanted to go with him after this so I could fight alongside him too, but instead, he wanted me to go somewhere else? I have so many questions lurking in my mind, but my priority is to keep these young pups together with other she-wolves who don’t know how to fight yet.

I guided them towards our safe house, and fought some of rogues who we encountered along the way. These rogues, something is off. Their eyes are glowing in red and their canines are salivating much more than a normal one.

We quickly enter the safe house and lock the doors and windows, I told them to stay hidden and not to go outside until further instructions, after that I run towards outside and encounters a few rogues, I fight them and claws their heads off. This is very unusual, they seems to attack whatever in their way, they have no control, they just clawed and jumped on to someone, killing everyone.

I enter our pack house and runs up towards my father's office, I open the door and see 3 types of cabinets, now I'm confused, which cabinet is it? I tried to mind link my father but he seems too busy fighting, unable to answer me.

I start to search the small desk cabinet, where my father mostly do his paperwork, this serves as his table desk with its smooth finish on top and pure wooden material, but on its other side, it composes with 2 layers shelves encloses by a wooden sliding door. Rectangular framed with metal hinges. It had a lot of mess in here, my father is not really a neat person when he's on work mode. I look from top to bottom, side to side and underneath it but there was nothing an old book with red velvet fabric cover.

I switch to the other bookcase in left area of the room, that composed of different kinds of books, mostly are about the world we are living, some has national geographic title on it and some are encyclopedias. The books were arranged per volume to each shelves with swing glass door. Again I looked all over it but there found nothing similar to what my father described to me.

Lastly, I turn my gaze to the modular type cabinet on the other side, it is quite odd because it seems modern and I knew that my father is an old fashion one in terms of his things, it has a simple cubic shape with a laminated wooden frame, coated with matte white color, it has metal hinges and have 4 layers open shelves. It free stand to the corner of the room, and I quickly scans it and tries to look for the book, but it just composed of most magazines and sports articles. I lost hope and tries to mind link again my father but still no response. I sighs and leans my back to it when suddenly, I hear a clicking sound, it appears that one of the partition supports, of the shelf, is something that can be push a little, after a while a string of velvet fabric falls down clashes to the other books, it was located underneath a top shelf of the cabinet.

Finally !, I said to myself. I pick it up and run outside of the room.

When I'm outside, my eyes grew wide, I see that the once snowy ground is now full of blood. This is my first time seeing this happen to us. I saw the betas, gammas, and other warriors fighting with some rogues, it seems that we are outnumbered, the rogues are just keep on coming. I scan my eyes to look for my father and sees him outside the gate near the woods.

"He's bleeding a lot" concerned, when I noticed that some of the wounds of my father and other warriors in my area are not healing quickly. Why,we were supposed to heal quickly due to our wolves, right?

My father's wolf has a black fur and blue eyes, it doubled the size of our beta, but the werewolf in front of him is twice of his size. It has a brown fur and glowing red color eyes, its canines are salivating more, its claws are much longer. I am about to run towards the west route as my father told me earlier, but seeing his enemy had me concerned, so instead, I run towards them as fast as I can because the moment later, I saw the rogue is about to jump to my father aiming for his neck.
