“See?”
“Can you keep scratching anyway?”
My gosh, is he a wolf or a dog?
Anyway, it’s good to know I can talk to Bobo like this, but it’s hard for me to concentrate on a single Beta’s inner wolf. Damian, Tonia, and Neal leave for his office, but I guess this is not really something I should be concerned with. Instead, I get up and head to the small kitchen. At least he has what I need to make myself some tea...
When my cup is ready, I exit the kitchen to get back to Bobo. However, I hear voices before coming in. Nathaniel and Elena are having a heated conversation, and neither of them heard me. Unsure what to do, I stay at the door a few seconds and hear some of it.
“Talk to me! Elena, I can’t go on like this!”
“I told you, I’m fine, Nate. Stop asking, please.”
“I don’t believe you! You’ve been avoiding me for days; I can’t take it! Do you think I haven’t noticed it? You’re pale, you lost weight... Elena, are you sick?”
“What? No, I’m not, I swear, Nate. I’m fine, okay? I really am.”
“Then why...?”
“I’ll tell you later, okay?”
“Later? What later! Elena... When?”
“After the pack meeting. Once it’s over, we can talk. I promise, but not now. It’s not the right time, with all that is going on. Nate, please.”
I hear him sigh.
“Okay, but... you have to stop avoiding me, please. ...I miss you.”
My cousin whispers something I can’t hear, and after a few seconds, I hear enough to know I can’t come in now. I’m blushing, but I’m happy for my cousin... From what I just overheard, Nathaniel really does love her, right?
I feel a gentle push behind me. Bobo! So, he left the living room after all. I get to his level and sigh deeply while playing with my best friend’s fur.
“Bobo, everything is going to be okay, right?”
“I got your back.”
I smile, feeling a bit better. I’m about to suggest we go back to Damian and the others, when I hear someone running across the apartment. What is going on? Bobo and I both get to the entrance, and I almost run into Sean, who just barged in, panting.
“Sean? What is going?”
“Where’s the Boss?”
“In his office, but what is it?”
“The rogues. A hell lot of them. They are gathering at the borders!” He yells while running to Damian’s office.
Oh, crap. Why now...?
When I arrive, right behind Sean, Damian is already standing in front of the glass wall. I slowly walk to my mate, and he naturally puts an arm around my waist as I stand next to him. He probably already knows. I follow his stare, and indeed, he is looking at our borders.
Close to the East border, I see them. A large group of people and wolves. It’s hard to tell from here, but... There should be about a hundred, two hundred people. What is going on? I have never seen so many rogues gathering...
“What are they doing?” I ask.
“For now, nothing. They all suddenly started gathering a few minutes ago, but now, they just stand at our borders.It’s really weird, Boss. They are not doing anything,” explains Sean.
Why then...? Is this a threat? But rogues don’t usually wait, they just burst into territories and attack. They are not supposed to be organized at all, and never in such large groups. It doesn’t seem normal at all... From here, they seem rather calm. I use the mind-link to reach Vince.
