We both want him dead
He was dragged to a room. He slept on the cold floor for about half an hour, until a rogue came into the room with a bucket of cold water and poured it on him. “Hey! Wake up,” said the strange man.
Sam opened his eyes only to see a muscular man holding a bucket. “You bastard! How dare you?” He screamed as he tried to get up from the ground, but he realized his legs and hands were already tied together.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Despite how he was screaming, the huge rogue did not say anything, nor did he look at him. Suddenly, the door opened with a big sound. And a man with a long black garment and hood covering his head entered the room. His face could not be seen because of the black mask he was putting on. He sat on a chair far away from the guy tied to the floor.
Sam suddenly became quiet as the masked man entered the room with the other two guys. He also saw a frail figure, which he knew was a witch, but he couldn’t see the face because of the hood she was also using to cover her face.
Sam knew the man was the one he was looking for-the head of the rogues. His eyes had been on the rogue group for a long time, and he knew everything about them, even the cafe they used as their secret hideout. But he didn’t know who their leader was because no one had seen his face before, except for the witch.
“Why is he still breathing? I thought you’d take care of him.” The man with the covered face spoke as he faced the huge man behind Sam, but before the huge man could say a word, Sam burst out, screaming. “No, you can’t kill me. You have to spare me.”
The man turned towards the voice and scoffed. “Why do you think I will spare you?”
“Because we both want the same thing desperately. To end him,” he said, only to find the man bursting out into laughter. “And you think I would want to join hands with the one who couldn’t fire a gun when he got the chance?”
“And that is what makes both of us the same thing. You also couldn’t kill him when you got the chance. At least, I pointed a gun at him, but you couldn’t do that.” Sam mocked with a smile, but he quickly stopped when the man suddenly stood up with his tight fist. He knew that the man also wanted to kill Alex, and it could only be because of his position as the Alpha, but he was pained that he didn’t know who the masked man was.
“How will it feel if the great alpha gets killed by the one and only white wolf?” he said with a smile before continuing. “I’ll make sure his mate ends him with her two hands.”
The man looked at him for some time before saying, “Fine. I give you two days to get it done.” The head of the rogues also knew why Sam wanted to kill Alex; he knew that he wanted to avenge his parents’ deaths, and he was also ready to use him for his game, even though Sam didn’t know there were more hidden secrets lurking in the dark.
“Consider it done.” Sam replied with a smile. He already knew that Ellie was the only one that could do the job, and he was assured that she would do it because of her dead parents.
The man behind him pulled him up and dragged him out of the room as soon as the masked man gave him a sign.
The witch behind the head of the rogues walked forward and asked, “What will you do about him?” She was surprised and scared when she heard that there was a half-human who knew their hideout. She was expecting the man to have been dead, but he was still alive and making a deal.
“What will I do about him? Nothing.” He replied.
“Nothing? Don’t you think he might want something after he finishes the job?” The witch asked. She was so worried that the man wasn’t thinking about the possibility of the half-human betraying them; she didn’t want her secrets exposed.
“You think I’m going to spare him?” The man scoffed, turning to the witch behind him. “What do you think he’ll do when I finally become the alpha? Or when he finds out I’m the one he really wants to kill?”
“It’s such a pity you don’t even know who you work for. I let my guard down on that half-human. I should have killed her long before her wolf self came into action. But this time around, I won’t make the same mistake again.
*****
Alex went back home the next morning; he insisted Lincoln, his doctor, discharge him. The doctor, having no choice but to listen to him, also obeyed him and agreed to take care of him at home.
Even though his sister or Callum must not hear that he had left the hospital, He doesn’t care because he spent the whole night thinking about what Callum said to him. “Callum is right. Letting her go would be the best thing to do at this point.” He was still angry at him, but he saw the point he was trying to make.
He took his phone and searched for her number, but he couldn’t bring himself to dial it. “Maybe a text message would be better.” He said this as he tried to type, but he couldn’t construct any words. “Damn it.” He sighed as he ran his hands into his hair. He had never felt that way before, getting nervous about chatting with a girl.
He thought for some time, checking her number, until he decided to take his bath and go to his office. He couldn’t do it because, somewhere in his heart, he was still blaming his family for her parents’ deaths. To him, breaking the bond meant that he was abandoning her. At the same time, not breaking it meant he was punishing her. “I need to clear my head.”
