Chapter 82
Steven shouted out the question that everyone had at heart.
Why?
Why did Glen betray them and choose the rogue’s side?
Glen stood on his spot and let Steven punch him. He groaned lowly after the first punch but didn’t
choose to move away from the upcoming attack.
Steven grabbed Glen’s collar and kept hitting his former friend.
His knuckles were white with anger.
A storm of emotions brewed in his eyes.
Steven thought that they used to be friends. If not friends, at least they were on the same side. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Yet their bond was now shattered with betrayal.
Steven felt stupid for defending Glen fiercely in front of everyone before!
“You…f**king bastard! Why!”
Steven growled, throwing another punch directly at Glen’s nose, knocking him to the ground.
“Just f**king give me a reason! Are you a rogue? How did you manage to become a Gamma if you are
a rogue!”
Glen knelt on the ground and coughed. The corners of his mouth were ripped with blood.
“No, I am not a rogue.”
He wiped away the blood and answered coolly.
“As for my reasons…Well, it doesn’t matter now, does it? I lost and you caught me. And that’s it. I am
ready for whatever punishment that you have in mind.”
Glen raised his head and looked at Daran. There was no fear nor regret on his face. “You can execute
me right now, Alpha Daran. I have nothing else to say,” he said calmly.
Glen’s attitude rendered everyone speechless.
They just got betrayed by one of their closest friends!
How could they let this slide?
‘At least give us an excuse or make one up for f**k’s sake!” Jeff cried loudly, “I don’t believe that you
would choose the rogue’s side without a reason! You saw clearly how they slaughtered those civilians!
So what is it? Did they blackmail you? Did they threaten you?”
Glen shrugged.
“Maybe there is no reason,” he said with an indifferent tone. “Maybe I am just purely evil.”
Jeff let out a frustrated growl. Apparently, he found this hard to accept.
“I think I know about his reasons,” Janet said abruptly.
Glen frowned at her.
His eyes gleamed with suspicion.
Janet walked to the tent entrance and talked briefly to the soldiers outside, “The girl that you caught
last night….Yes, bring her here.”
Moments later, a slim figure appeared by the tent entrance.
It was a pretty girl in her early twenties.
She looked tired and messy. Her hair was all tangled, and her eyes were red and puffy from the tears.
Her clothes were dirty and worn out from running.
Yet even though she looked rough, you could still see in her eyes that she was determined to keep
going despite everything.
“Veronica!”
Glen swooped up and rushed towards the girl. She burst into tears and rushed towards him as well.
They hugged each other tightly, like holding on to the most precious thing in their lives.
“Veronica…what are you doing here?” Glen gasped, “I told you to head south and never come back.
Why didn’t you listen to me!”
The girl named Veronica sobbed, “How can I leave by myself knowing that you are risking your life for
me? I…I have to check on you…and make sure that you are OK…”
“We caught her in the woods last night. She was sneaking and poking around. My men thought that
she looked suspicious and bought her back,” Janet said.
Glen held Veronica in his arms and stroked her messy hair, whispering some comforting words into her
ears.
Steven, Jeff, and Maxie exchanged a look of perplexation.
“Umm… what is going on here?” Jeff starched his head and asked, “Who is this girl again?”
“She is a rogue. And Glen’s lover. I think that she is also the reason that Glen brought us,” Janet said.
“Is that true, Glen?” Maxie asked.
Glen’s face was pale.
Veronica wiped her tears on Glen’s shoulder and turned around to face everyone.
“It is true. Glen did everything…all because of me.
She was quivering with strong emotions.
“We met each other at the border when Glen came to fight back rogues… It was love at first sight. Glen
wanted to take me away to his pack…but I can’t go. Not with my family still in the Rogue King’s hand.”
She took in a deep breath before continuing:
“So I went to see the Rogue King and ask for his mercy to set my families free-
“Wait!”
Janet gasped.
“You have met the Rogue King?”
Veronica shook her head, “No….not in person. The Rogue King was giving orders behind a curtain. But
I can tell from his voice that he is a man.”
A man.
Janet and the others exchanged a look of frustration.
Well, at least now they knew about the Rogue King’s gender.
But that didn’t help to narrow it down.
“So what did the Rogue King say?” Janet pursued, “I bet that he didn’t let you go without a cost.”
“You are right.”
Veronica let out a bitter laugh.
“He heard that I was in love with a Gamma, and he was thrilled…He made me an offer. He promised to
set my entire family free if Glen agreed to be his source of information during the war.”
Glen dropped his eyes.
It was the first time that a look of shame appeared on his face.
Veronica continued in a low voice, “So with my family still in the Rogue King’s hand,
I traveled to Riverside Pack and became a waitress at a local strip club. Glen would come to my club
and pass on the information, and I would send it back to the Rogue King…”
Janet suddenly remembered something.
Before the war broke out, the 5 Gammas had many long meetings in Riverside Pack. They were all
exhausted after those meetings.
Yet somehow, Glen could always find the time and energy to go to the bars after the meetings.
They thought that Glen was just a hyper guy.
But the truth was, he went to see Veronica at those times.
“So that’s it?”
Steven cried out abruptly,
“That is your big reason? You betrayed all of us for a woman?!”
“Steven…”
Maxie tried to calm Steven down. But he shook her hand off roughly.
Steven was losing his temper again.
Steven was losing his temper again.
“You will make it worse by going in there,” Janet said to her. “Now, Calm down. It is OK now. Can you
tell me more about the Rogue King?”
They found out about the mole.
But that was so not enough.
If the Rogue King could implant the first mole among them, he could very well do it again.
He was cunning and calculating beyond imagination.
To win this war, they needed to gather more information about this man.
Janet could tell that Veronica knew more about the Rogue King besides his gender.
“Tell me, Veronica. This is important,” Janet demanded. “We will help you rescue your families back. As
long as you give me the truth.”
Veronica’s lips trembled.
Veronica stared deep into Janet’s eyes, with tears welling up.
“He told me that if we failed, he would skin my family alive…He meant it…So I am sorry…I can’t fail
him…” she sobbed desperately.
Janet took a small step back.
A sudden thrill of foreboding hit her.
But it was too late.
A dagger appeared in Veronica’s hand. The blade shone with a greenish light, indicating that it was
poisoned.
With a sharp cry, Veronica raised the dagger and stabbed Janet!
In a split second, someone shoved Janet aside.
Janet stumbled sideward and jerked around in panic.
Her eyes fixed upon the dagger.
It had sunk deep into Daran’s chest.
