Fated is overrated
Chapter 35

Chris

POV

I snort to myself, wow, she is really going rogue as a female? I have to admit that's ballsy, as it for sure a death wish with the rogues out there and especially for a female.

And if not for the rogues, she will for sure stumble upon other pack lands and get ripped apart on sight. Before I can even answer any of the mind link messages I'm getting, I feel Cezar pushing for control in a way I have never felt before. But I can't shift in here as he will trash the place. I make a run downstairs and head for the door with my fur already sprouting out on my arms.

Calm the f*ck down dude what is wrong with you?!' but of course, still the silent treatment from him, whilst viciously fighting for control and although I'm normally really in control of him he actually won and took over by force this time!' Cezar talk to me!' and finally I get a word out of him, although not really what I was looking for 'f*ck you!'. While he starts running like a mad wolf towards Lola's house.

I suppose this is his Alpha instinct, and I am just being a terrible Alpha actually because I am letting my dislike for women cloud my judgment to protect pack members. Yugh, I hate it when he is right. And I hate it even more when I am wrong in the process. When reaching her cottage he starts sniffing the air and following the trail towards the pack borders, completely ignoring the two siblings awaiting him there.

She wasn't kidding when she said she was going rogue. Suddenly, I start to feel uneasy with all of this. She has actually never done anything wrong to me at all.. In fact, we used to be best friends until I started hating women and firing my vengeance plan on all of them.

Since she was the only one not fawning over me and the only one to actually openly dislike my behavior, she got the worst treatment out of everyone.

And although I still hate all women and trust neither of them, I have to admit she didn't deserve me bullying her into making her go rogue and committing suicide by doing so. F*ck! We do have to replace her, and I'll even let her disobedience slip this time. 'Father, start a search party for Lola if you haven't already. Going out there rogue as a female is a death sentence "already on it of course, son. Do you know what happened for her to do this?' 'no, not really' I lie. I don't think he ever realized how badly I treat women, and Lola in particular.

+No, actually, I am sure he doesn't realize as he would have brought me to my knees for it already. Despite what mom did to him, he was still sympathetic towards women and Lola in particular he felt sorry for, as she came to us as an orphan and then was even more devastated when she lost her mother.

Unlike my piece of sh*t mother, her mother was an actual angel. She was always so sweet to us when we were kids, always letting us get away with all the mischief we pulled, covering for us.

Always taking care of us both as if I were her own as well. If anything, I owe it to her mother to bring her back safely. And maybe treat her a bit better in the future to not make her sign her own death sentence again.

As Cezar reaches the pack borders, I see him sniffing the air frantically." Did you lose her trail?' and to my surprise, he replies to me 'yes I lost her trail', and he lets out a devastating howl for losing his pack member. Someone who trusted us for at least her protection. And we let her down. Cezar doesn't give up and starts dashing out into the unclaimed territory.

Which, even for an Alpha, is not the smartest thing to do on your own. Although I am a big and well-trained Alpha, getting ganged upon by a few rogues could actually end poorly, depending on the strength of the rogues. 'Cezar, shouldn't we wait for the search party my father has sent out?

I know you want to replace her, but it isn't safe for a solo trip, not even for us" have to replace her.' Is all I get back. After running out into the woods for hours and still no sign or smell of Lola, we head back home, feeling defeated.

'Any luck on the search party father? Any sign of her?' 'afraid not son. We have sent out search warrants to all allied and non-allied packs and have made it known she is not to be harmed.

If she were to stumble into another pack she should be fine. Let's just hope she doesn't stay in unclaimed territory for too long. I hope so too...
