The Silver Wolf (Diana and Talon) novel Chapter 59

<Chapter Fully fine

Asher shifted into his wolf mid-run, racing toward the border where several warriors had already gathered.

When he arrived, he shifted back to human form beside Tyler-his newly appointed Beta. Tyler stood beside the captain of the Royal Guards, both watching the tree line beyond Crimson Fang’s borders.

And there they were.

Rogues.

Dozens of them.

Standing just beyond the invisible line marking pack territory, but they were not attacking. They were simply… standing there.

“What are they doing?” Asher asked, his voice tense.

Tyler shook his head. “We do not know, Alpha. They just appeared. They have not crossed the border. They have not made any aggressive moves.”

“They are organized,” The Royal Guard captain narrowed his eyes. “Too organized for normal rogues.”

The pack warriors murmured among themselves uneasily.

Then suddenly, one of the rogues stepped forward from the group. A tall male, broad-shouldered, with a calm, confident posture that immediately set him apart from the others.

He stopped a few feet from the border line. “My name is Conall, Beta of the Rogue Pack.”

The words sent immediate whispers through the Crimson Fang warriors.

“Rogue pack?”

“There is no such thing.”

“How can there be a rogue pack?”

“Rogues do not organize.”

Conall’s sharp eyes scanned the group, clearly hearing every whisper, then he looked directly at Asher.

“Do you really allow your pack to speak so freely behind you, Alpha?” Conall asked calmly. “Is this level of disrespect normal in your presence?”

Asher’s face flushed with anger and embarrassment. He turned sharply toward the warriors and barked.” Silence!”

The whispers died instantly.

Then he looked back at the rogue.

“What do you want, Beta Conall?” Asher demanded. “Why are you standing at my border?”

Conall tilted his head slightly. “Hm. You truly do not know why we are here, Alpha?”

“I do not have any idea why rogues would come to my territory aside from ominous reasons,” Asher

replied coldly.

Conall chuckled softly. “You mistake us for feral rogues.”

His gaze hardened. You should know the difference, Alpha. After all your Luna and Beta were able to collude with some of our pack members to kill a certain wolf.”

A ripple of tension passed through the Crimson Fang warriors.

“Those wolves were dealt with,” Asher’s eyes narrowed. “Along with the rogues who attacked us.”

“As they should have been,” Conall agreed calmly, then his lips curved slightly. “And the one who dealt with them… was the female wolf your Luna wanted dead.”

The meaning was unmistakable.

Diana.

“Enough games,” Asher felt a flash of anger, and he said sharply. “Cut to the point. What do you want? Why are you here?”

Conall studied him for a moment before answering. “We came to meet the female wolf.”

He paused. “We wished to see our queen.”

The words shocked everyone present. More whispers erupted.

“Queen?”

“What is he talking about?”

But Asher’s heart sank. “If you know who that female wolf is, then you should also know she is no longer

here.”
