The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 216

Kieran’s POV

Standing outside the bar on the outskirts of the North Pack, I grumble under my breath. I am getting so tired of these back-door, seedy bar meetings. But it is the only place that these rebels are willing to meet.

Walking in through the back door of the bar, the smell of rogues hits my nose, immediately causing it to wrinkle. I pretend like it doesn’t bother me as I walk to the back room of the bar. I push the door open, the smell of vanilla hits my nose, and my wolf, Karr, begins to jump around excitedly in my mind.

‘Mate!’ Karr says with excitement.

‘We don’t have time for a mate,’ I try to explain to Karr, but he is not listening to me.

I attempt to push him to the back of my mind, but he is too strong. He demands to stay at the forefront in my mind. Internally, I roll my eyes in his direction and try to ignore his incessant howling in my mind.

Looking around the room, I see two familiar faces: Warren and the scarred old woman. But there are two other faces that I do not know. One belongs to a man who looks like he has spent several weeks in a dungeon. Along with the smell of rogue, he reeks of urine and old b***d.

The second face belongs to my mate. She is a curvy brunette with chocolate brown eyes. She is attempting to keep her eyes on the ground, but I cannot help but see the excitement within her eyes as she glances up at me. I lift my nose to the air and realize that she doesn’t smell like a rogue but that could be because she is my mate. I can tell by how she holds herself that she isn’t very high-ranking. Possibly nothing more than an Omega. Definitely not suitable for a Luna of the North Pack or a Queen to rule by my side.

“What is the meaning of this?” I ask, not daring to enter the room. “I thought that I was only meeting with Warren and this one,” I say, pointing to the old woman.

“We thought that you would want to meet two others who are on your side,” the old woman says with a smile on her face.

“What do they have to do with anything?” I ask curiously.

The scarred woman points to the new man, “This is Alpha Harry. He set up one of the attacks on the fake Luna Queen, and this is Elise. She is the one who pushed your sister down the stairs. They are vital members of the alliance that we will need later on.”

I feel a bit of anger surge through my body. “I think you all are forgetting that you are attacking my sister,” I growl. “I thought I have made it clear that my sister is not to be harmed.”

“How else do you expect us to get rid of her?” Warren laughs.

I roll my eyes at Warren. “How are you supposed to claim her as your mate if she is dead, Dumbass?” I snap at him.

It is as if a light switch turns on in Warren’s mind, and he looks in the woman’s direction. “Yeah,” he says. His voice is laced with anger. “How am I supposed to be her mate if she is dead?”

“What you want is secondary,” Alpha Harry scoffs. “This is about what is best for all of the packs that would fall under her rule.”

As much as I want to be King and rule over the packs. I don’t understand why they aren’t positive my sister is not able to do the job. “What makes you so sure my sister isn’t the child of light?” I ask.

“A simple birthmark is not enough to convince me that she is the Luna Queen,” Alpha Harry grumbles. “Why would the Moon Goddess put a woman in charge?”

“Precisely,” the woman says with her arms crossed over her chest. “Are you no longer willing to take the title of the Alpha King?”

“I didn’t say that,” I say quickly. “I just need to know that before I betray my sister, you have proof that I am meant to be the Alpha King.”

“Perhaps we should visit an oracle?” Alpha Harry shouts. He is growing irritated with this meeting. He turns his attention back to the scarred woman. “This meeting is a waste of time if he doesn’t want to be the Alpha King.”

“We thought that you would want to meet two others who are on your side,” the old woman says with a smile on her face.

“I never said that I don’t to be the King,” I yell. “I just need some proof.”

The scarred woman holds her head in frustration. “I will find an oracle,” she says in exasperation. “But after what happened to the last one associated werewolves, they are less likely to help us.”

“Perhaps we can sweeten the pot,” Elise says quietly.

All of our eyes move in the direction of my mate. “Sweeten the pot with what?” I ask curiously.

Elise keeps her eyes glued to the ground. “Maybe if she were guaranteed that her daughter wasn’t rejected by her mate.”

Everyone in the room looks at Elise like she is crazy. They don’t understand that she is blackmailing me.

“Your mother is an oracle,” I say grumpily.

Elise nods her head up and down, but she does not raise her eyes from the ground.

“Who is your mate?” The scarred woman asks Elise.

Elise raises her eyes and looks at me with tears filling her eyes. “I am her mate,” I say sternly. “But she is not Luna material. We will have to find another oracle.”

“Surely, some other arrangement can be made?” The scarred woman asks Elise, but Elise shakes her head.

“I want my mate,” she says quietly.

“I don’t want you,” I say harshly, but Karr growls loudly in my mind.

‘You are making a mistake,’ Karr says with worry in his voice. ‘We need to know what the oracle has to say.’

I look Elise up and down. She looks like she might be able to provide a good time. Just because I don’t reject her doesn’t mean I have to make her my Luna. I could always keep her on the side.

“Fine,” I say quietly. “I won’t reject you.”
