Chapter 103 Nightshade Alley

What’s wrong?” Ronan rushed back to me.
I shook my head and quickly stood up to find the clearing pulsed with shock and disbelief as a rogue dove over the waterfall’s edge with Grace in his arms. He vanished into the night–mist below,
“No…I clenched my fists.
I could only stare, numb, disbelieving. Everything in me screamed as 1 failed to act in time. More than that. Alpha Jude and Alpha Gideon’s state was alarming.
“GRACE!!!” Alpha Gideon’s roar tore through the air.
Chaos shattered the stillness.
“WHAT THE HELL?!“
“HOW DID A ROGUE E GET IN HERE?!”
“DID HE CLIMB UP THE WATERFALL?!”
Alphas exploded into motion, some running to the edge, others shifting in place, wolves snarling in panic. However, no one. not a single soul, was more explosive than Alpha Jude.
“GRACE!!!” her name was
was torn from his throat, ragged and filled with agony.
He launched himself toward the edge of the waterfall but the moment he neared it, his body slammed against something invisible. Something powerful. An unseen barrier crackled against his skin like a wall of energy. It sent him flying back with brutal force.
He hit the ground, rolled, and came up again like a beast, eyes blazing, jaw clenched.
He charged..
Again, slammed back.
A wall. An invisible force field. A border.
My stomach dropped.
“What is going on? The others jumped from that waterfall earlier so why couldn’t he now?” I whispered, confused as I stood near Ronan who also did not seem to have that answer.
Not far from him. Alpha Gideon had shifted, a monstrous black wolf of absolute wrath. He, tou, bolted toward the edge and was launched back by the same unseen force. He landed with a ground–shaking thud, growling, furious, his massive claws digging trenches into the earth as he tried to force his way through.
Both of them. Jude and Cideon, rammed into the invisible energy like madmen.
Neither could pas
“They can’t get through.” I murmured.
“That’s the edge of the Laune Academy territory, Healer Aran said from the side, his voice grim. “There’s a protective boundary No une with the intration to leave the Academy territory can cross it. Not even instructors”

That’s when a cry rang out. “We caught one”
+8 Pearls
A border patrol wolf arrived dragging a half–conscious rogue, bloodied but alive. He was snarling and writhing as Alpha Hugo marched over and slammed him against a tree.
“WHERE DID THEY TAKE HER?! Hugo bellowed, his fist tightening around the rogue’s throat.
The rogue grinned with bloodied teeth. Remaining silent.
Cassius stepped forward. “These fucking rogues never open their mouth easily. We don’t have time for this!”
“FUCK, TELL ME IF YOU DON’T WANT TO DIE!” Alpha Hugo nearly ripped his ear off to make him speak.
Until, like a phantom from the trees, Ryker appeared.
Shirtless. Bandaged. Quiet.
Deadly.
Without a word, he yanked the rogue from Hugo’s grasp and began beating him. It wasn’t a fight. It wasn’t interrogation. It
was destruction.
One punch. A rib cracked.
A knee dislocated. A femur snapped.
Claw. A scream finally ripped from the rogue’s lips,
Blood sprayed like red mist.
In five seconds, he was nothing but pulp. The sight made the other Alphas stiffen in dread.
-Stop, Ryker. He’ll die,” Alpha Hugo growled. “He’s the only one that knows where Grace was taken!” he growled.
Only Ryker had already broken him. He yanked his head as if about to snap it from its torso and asked in a very low and chilling tone, “So, where did your people take her?”

whimpered blood and teeth falling from his mouth when he finally confessed. “N–Nightshade Alley…”
Dead silence followed it
Complete and utter silence fell over the clearing. While I glanced around all the clueless.
The name seemed to have sent a spike of shocks through every Alpha’s heart. Even Ronan looked unsettled.
“Nightshade Alley..“Alpha Jude stopped breathing.
“They took her where?” Gideon’s eyes widened
“What is Nightshade Alley?” I whispered under my breath but the four Alphas heard me clearly. Their reaction actually
started to clue me in
Pluma wispered in my mind, alarmed, “Could it be a place dut a man should know?”
My muscles tightened Could it make them suspect me?
