The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf

CHAPTER 32 – THREATS OF THE ROGUES

Wright packed his car in front of the county’s tennis club. He had fixed a meeting with Mr. Johnson and

Philip today at the club and it was almost time for the meeting.

He was sure that Philip and Mr. Johnson would be here waiting for his arrival. Due to the importance of

this meeting, Philip flew into Edmonton this morning. It was a very crucial meeting and it required that

they all met physically to talk about it. They also intend to play tennis together by the time they are

through with the meeting.

Wright got down from the car and jugged into the tennis clubhouse. And just as he had envisaged, Mr.

Johnson and Philip were already inside and were playing tennis.

“Hey fellas” he greeted them when he sighted them.

As he walked up to them, he exchanged quick pleasantries with other people that were in the

clubhouse.

“Hey, Wright” Philip called out.

It has been long that Philip had seen his best friend, Wright. After the burial of Evolette, they have only

seen once and that was a long time ago.

“You are here already man. How are you doing?” Mr. Johnson said as he looked up and saw Wright

approaching them.

“Super” Wright responded.

Mr. Johnson and Philip stopped the game and they all went to sit on a bench away from those in the

club.

“How is Rio? I am actually hoping I would see her before I fly back to Regina today” Philip asked.

“She is fine. But I doubt if she will let you go once she gets to meet you. You know it’s been long she

met you and I must say that she misses you so dearly” Wright replied.

“She’s got to understand that I will make out time to be with her soon. I miss her too” Philip said.

“She would love that” Wright replied.

Wright cleared his throat “Okay, about the meeting, I want to know what is going on”

“There had been news of numerous rogues’ intrusion in Edmonton these past weeks” Mr. Johnson

announced.

“What! And how come I have not heard of this?” Wright was shocked.

“Actually, at first we dismissed it as a mere coincidence and attached no meaning to it” Mr. Johnson

replied.

“But then, I got wind of their presence in Edmonton. And even I thought that it was nothing but in order

not to take chances, I decided to investigate them and so, I sent out delegates as spies to them. Our

spied were able to gain their trust and they were able to discover that the rogues were on the lookout

for you and your family. In fact, they have been going about asking for details about your family” Philip

explained.

Wright was perplexed by this news. He had almost believed that the rebels had given up on getting

him. He had given up everything for them, so why were they still looking for him?

“I see. So what is the plan now?” Wright requested.

“We can only keep them off, for now, alpha. But this is a fight that we cannot run away from. We should

be ready to face it soon” Mr. Johnson replied.

“They would not leave, alpha, at least not until they are sure that they have the shadow wolf,” Philip

said.

“And what has that got to do with me? I am not the shadow wolf. In fact, even Tabitha that I had

rejected was not even the shadow wolf. What else do they want from me?” Wright lamented.

When Wright turned sixteen, everyone believed that just like his mum, he would have the shadow wolf

on the night of the full moon. But to the dismay of the pack members, he had shifted to an alpha wolf,

and also, he did not find a mate like his pairs.

He was the only child of his family and would not be able to ascend the throne unless he can get the

shadow wolf. Due to the peculiarities of Tabitha, who was the most cherished and sort after damsel in

the pack and the fact that her blood linage could be traced to the shadow wolf, everyone had believed

that she would be the shadow wolf and thus, they had wanted Wright to marry her.

However, this was not the case with Wright’s cousin, Derrick who in his quest to get the throne by all

means had led a pack of rebels and had forcefully converted Tabitha to his mate since he believed that

she was the only woman alive that can bear a child with the shadow wolf.

spot for his nephew, Derrick and he was annoyed at Wright’s refusal to settle with Tabitha so he

declared that whoever borne the shadow wolf between Wright and Derrick would succeed him.

Wright who was completely against this arrangement by the alpha because of how dangerous Derrick

was especially when he needs something quietly left the pack to start a normal life. However, wright’s

exit did not deter Derrick from taking his fight to Wright.

“Tabitha’s daughter for Derrick just turned sixteen last month” Mr. Johnson announced.

“And so, am I supposed to get her a birthday present?” Wright asked.

“It was the full moon and she was not the shadow wolf” Mr. Johnson explained.

“I still don’t understand why Derrick still wants a fight with me. Everyone knows that I am not the

shadow wolf” Wright responded.

“For some reason, Derrick strongly believes that you would bear the shadow wolf and he does not want

you near the throne” Philip explained.

“Obviously he has gone insane” Wright spat.

“He knows that you have a daughter, alpha. And he thinks she would be the shadow wolf” Philip said.

“Okay. I know I wouldn’t mind Rio taking my nature as a werewolf. But why doesn’t he just allow things

to be for now? Why would he never stop to preempt things?” Wright said. “He is pushing me and I can’t

say how much longer I can hold on”

Wright was already furious. If not for the love he has for his family, he would have started a war with

Derrick right away and he was very sure that Derrick with all his rogues put together would not be able

to defeat him.

“Please you don’t have to allow him to get to you. Remember you are doing this for your family” Philip

said.

“There is a limit to what I can take and if Derrick should as much as to cause a scratch on any of my

family members, then the whole of shadow rank would be razed down,” Wright said.

“Have you considered the fact that Rio might have the shadow wolf?” Mr. Johnson asked.

Wright thought about what Mr. Johnson had said for a second. “Not really, but that would make no

difference”

“Then she might have to return to the shadow rank pack,” Mr. Johnson said.

“I don’t care about that. She belongs here and so she will remain here” Wright objected.

“Then why do you want her to be a werewolf if you so much desire to be a human?” Mr. Johnson

asked.

“I don’t know, that is my nature, Johnson. Or maybe it’s because of the powers that come with being a

werewolf. I want that for her. I would not want her to remain vulnerable” Wright struggled to give a

response.

“If she is a werewolf, then she would have to go back to shadow rank. We all have to go back. That is

who we are and we cannot change that” Mr. Johnson said.

“And with that, Derrick would dare not challenge any of us again,” Philip said.

Wright remained silent he listened to them speak but does not know whether to agree with them.

“Even though you try to hide it, you are our alpha and we know how hard it is for you to leave your

homeland. Yes, I agree that the members of the pack were not fair to you, but we all know how fierce

and dangerous Derrick could be. Everyone knows how much alpha Lucas loves him and they are

aware that they dare not fight against Derrick” Mr. Johnson said.

“Even at my own expense?” Wright muttered.

“Not at your expense. Please you have to forgive us, every one of us. We are one and we should not

neglect our own no matter what. You love your people, alpha, and I know you would do anything to

liberate them so please don’t try to hide it” Mr. Johnson said.

“There is a limit that I can go. If Derrick pushes me, then I would retaliate. No matter whose ass is

gunned. However, should Rio have the shadow wolf, I will not stop her from going to shadow rank if

she wishes to. Derrick had had a field day at the Pack and someone’s got to stop hi soon” Wright

replied.

Even though Wright tried to hide it, he also had that weakest for Derrick. He is the only sibling that he

had and even with how things turned out, they had a very memorable childhood together and he

wondered why he would let his greed for power eat deep into his heart.

“That is a great decision alpha” Philip commended. “Now I have to devise a means to get the rogues

out of Edmonton”

“You should take care of that immediately” Wright instructed.

“That is the best we can do for now. We would get our men to it” Mr. Johnson said.

Wright got up. “Let’s get on with the game boys”

“Yes, we should” Mr. Johnson responded as he got up.

Philip stood up too and they all went to start the game of tennis.
