EPISODE 11
The moment Daniel’s scent filled the air, the entire rogue camp stirred with unease. Wolves emerged from their dens, their ears twitching, their bodies tense. His dominance was undeniable, radiating in thick waves that made those of lower rank instinctively lower their heads or step back.
The younger wolves and omegas shrank under the oppressive weight of his presence, while the elders murmured warily amongst themselves.
Despite their natural resilience, rogues lacked the structure of an established pack, making them. vulnerable in moments like this. They had no fortified walls or intricate defensive strategies, only the instincts honed from years of surviving on the fringes of society.
With the presence of pups, women, and elders, an all–out fight was too risky.
But even so, Julio and his warriors didn’t falter. They took their positions, forming a barrier between Daniel and the heart of their territory, their eyes dark with challenge.
Julio stepped forward, his posture exuding authority, though it was not the same as an Alpha with a blessed land. Rogue Alphas held power through strength and fear, not through the Moon Goddess’s blessings.
His expression was calm, but there was an unmistakable wariness in his tone when he addressed Daniel.
‘You’ve stepped into rogue land,” Julio said evenly. “State your purpose.”
Daniel barely acknowledged him. His golden eyes swept over the assembled rogues with an air of disinterest, as though he was staring at nothing more than a gathering of mongrels. There was no urgency in his movements, no need to explain himself to someone he considered

And then he felt something familiar.
His bond with me pulsed, drawing him forward like an undeniable force. His gaze snapped oward the source, his expression darkening. He didn’t hesitate. Without a word, he moved past lulio, his stride purposeful, cutting through the crowd like a predator tracking its prey.

Daniel’s jaw clenched as he took another step closer. His first reaction was to do sign language, ut realizing that I had recovered my hearing a few months ago, he lowered his hands and

“You’re pregnant.”
I refused to answer. My heart pounded against my ribs, but I kept my chin raised, forcing mysel
to appear unaffected. I would not let him see my fear.
I would not let him hold power over me again.
His expression darkened in my silence. “Who is the father?”
I turned away, refusing to give him the satisfaction of an answer. That was all it took to ignite hi fury. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of me, his hand closing around my arm in a grip tha was firm but not cruel.
At least, not yet.
‘Answer me, Maurice.” His voice was low, seething with barely contained anger.
I tried to pull away, but I couldn’t risk putting too much strain on my body. The baby’s safet came first. I gritted my teeth and glared at him, my silence my only act of defiance.
A growl rumbled in his chest, his patience wearing thin. His grip tightened.
“You left my pack, ran from me, and now you’re carrying a child.”
He chuckled dangerously, the hairs on my back rising from the tension.
“So, did you leave me just to get knocked up by a random rouge?”
Before I could respond, a blur of movement shot between us.
It was Julio.
He wrenched Daniel’s hand off me, shoving him backward with a force that made even the Alpha stumble. The tension in the air cracked like lightning as the two men faced off, power radiating
from both of them.
Daniel’s gaze flicked from Julio to me, realization dawning. His lips curled back in a snarl. “Step aside, rogue. This doesn’t concern you.”
Julio let out a low chuckle, his stance unyielding. “See, that’s where you’re wrong. It concerns me more than anyone.” He tilted his head, his eyes glinting with challenge. “She’s carrying my pup.”
Silence crashed over the clearing.
Daniel’s expression darkened into something truly dangerous. His fingers flexed at his sides barely restraining the urge to tear Julio apart. “You lie.”
Julio smirked. “Do I?” He crossed his arms over his chest. “You abandoned her. You rejected her And now, you come here acting like she still belongs to you?” He leaned in slightly, voice. dropping to a mocking whisper. “She doesn’t.”
Daniel’s growl shook the ground beneath us. My breath caught as the weight of the situation. settled over me.
The air crackled with tension, the entire rogue camp waiting to see what the Alpha would do next. One wrong move, and blood would be spilled.
