“Who ordered you?” Imanded.
Denny shook his head. “We don’t know his name,” he replied nervously. “We always just call him
Boss.”
“Okay, Denny,” I said with a small smile. “But you’ve seen him, haven‘ t you?”
“Just once,” he replied. “But it was dark. There was a big group of us. Maybe thirty or forty rogues.
They did some kind of ritual.”
“Did the ritual mention someone named Dominis?” Theomanded.
Denny nodded. “Yes.”
“It was themand.” I stated.
“Which has now been broken,” Theo confirmed.
“How can you tell?” Kingston asked.
“Theomanded information about the Dominis family. He wouldn’t have been able to answer if I
hadn’t beenmanding him,” I exined. “Denny, do you know why theymanded you to attack
us? Why do they want to organize the rogues against the Greytooth and Sablemane packs?”
“I… I don’t know about Sablemane, but…” He swallowed hesitantly. He was scared.
“It’s okay, Denny,” I said calmly. “We won’t hurt you. We just need your help. If you can give it to us.”

I could feel Theo’s and Kingston’s eyes boring into me. This isn’t how either of them had expected this
conversation to go, but I didn’t care. This man wasn’t defiant. He was reluctant to answer me, but he
wasn’t fighting mymands either. I could feel it. He was scared.
“Denny, were you one of the rogues that hurt people in Bonnerville?” I ordered. “Did you kill any of our
pack members?”
“No,” he rushed honestly. “I only damaged property. I avoided the people. That’s how I was caught. I
was running from the big fight, and an officer grabbed me. But I swear, I didn’t hurt anyone.”
I nodded. “Okay.” I looked at Theo. ‘Can I talk to you outside?‘ I linked him.
He nodded and I stood, motioning for Kingston to follow. We left the cell and returned to the
investigation room.
“I want to offer him a ce in the pack,” I stated once we were away from the guards.
“What?” Kingston eximed. Theo sighed, pinching the bridge of his
nose.
“A,” Kingston said, “A wolf who has been a rogue as long as he has wouldn’t know what to do in a
pack.”
“Then we teach him,” I replied.
“You saw him in there, Theo. He’s scared, not angry.”
“He doesn’t seem like the same rogue 1 interviewed in Bonnerville, no,” Theo conceded. “But it could
just be an act, babe. He could be ying us. He’s had over a week to get his story together, and you
haven’t put much pressure on him.”

“I know that,” I said. “That’s why I want to offer to bring him into the pack. But I want to swear him in.”
Theo chuckled.
“That’s reckless. A.” Kingston said.
“Not if she is the Blessed One,” Theo replied.
“There was a passage in Harry’s journal,” I exined. “He theorized that anyone sworn to the Blessed
One’s pack would have an unusually strong devotion to her and the pack.”
“Essentially, they would be incapable of betraying us,” Theo rified.
“You really want to trust her safety to a theory?”
“It’s a strong theory.” I added.
“We’ve found supporting evidence. And Randy confirmed it was one of the wear Pak’s concerns with
the Blessed One’s suspected abilities.”
Kingston crossed his arms. “I still think it’s too much of a risk.”
“Then I guess it’s a good thing I’m not offering him to join Sablemane,” I snapped.
Kingston backed off. I felt a little guilty for the jab, but he was babying me again.
Theo held my shoulders. “Look, A, I trust you and your judgment. We can’t guarantee him a fast or
easy transition. But if you think doing this will help us, then that’s what we’ll do.”

I took his hands. “Thank you.” I turned to Kingston. “Do you have a picture or something of Grogan you
could show him? It may help.”

Kingston pulled out his phone. “I have a grainy capture from a surveince camera, but it may work.”
“Good.”
We returned to the cell and I sat back down in front of our prisoner.
“Okay, Denny, “I said,” I have a proposal for you.”
He looked up at me nervously.
“I would like for you to tell us everything you know about the rogue groups and this Boss,” I continued.
“If you can do that, we would be willing to make you a member of our pack.”
Denny’s widened and his mouth fell open. “But… I… I don’t… Why?”
“We need information,” I said with a shrug. “And I’d rather not waste time trying to fight it out you. We
all understand your position here, being a rogue. They typically don’t survive this long within pack
territory.” Denny flinched. “Just a stated fact, not a threat,” I assured him. “Either way, I’m not sure what
else to offer a rogue. So, unless you have a different request, that’s what is on the table.”
Denny looked between the three of us. “I would never be epted.”
“If you help save and protect our Luna, you will be,” Theo told him.
“You’re a rogue because of someone else’s actions,” I said gently. “We won’t hold that against you.”
“Do you know why they are doing all of this?” Theo asked.
“They’re looking for someone,” Denny said. “They never actually told us who, but we started to hear
stories about a Blessed One throughout the camps. It was all some nonsense about some family taking

the packs and conquering the world or something.”
I snorted.
Theo rested his hands on my shoulders from behind me. “They want her.”
“And I will swear to you right now, Denny,” I said firmly, “I have no intention of taking over any other
pack, let alone the world. So, if you are willing to tell us what you know about these groups, including
your friend in the other cell, you’ll have a ce here.”
“I don’t know much,” he insisted. “What if the information is useless?”
“As long as you tell us what you do know,” I said, “then the deal stands.”
“And if I say no?”
“We still need the information,” Theo said gravely. “We still have tomand you to verify what you
say is the truth. If you fight it, it won‘ t end well for you.”
Denny thought for a long while, but I was patient. I hoped he would see that this was more than a
mercy to him. We didn’t need to offer him anything. But I wanted to. Finally, he took a deep breath.
“Okay.”
