Chapter 79
“IMPOSSIBLE-
Sterning was in the middle of a furious roar when his body became stiff abruptly. Slowly, he looked
down to his own chest.
A wolf paw had stuck into his chest. Steaming blood gushing out from this lethal wound.
Sterning rounded his eyes slightly. Everything happened too fast. He did not even have the time to
feel the pain.
Daran stood in front of him. And with one hard pull, he withdrew his wolf paw from Sterning’s chest.
Lying in his palm was a beating heart.
Sterning gave onest look at therge hole in his own chest. And then back at his heart in Daran’s
hand.
He had not even fully understood how they lost this battle, or how Daran defeated him, and his
enormous body copsed to the ground.
His eyes were enveloped in the gloom of death.
Sterning was dead.
The Rogue King’s most trusted man, Sterning, was dead!
Daran raised his hand up in the air, still holding Sterning’s heart, and shouted out one word:
11 -VICTORY!!”
His booming voice spread out across the field. Everyone looked at him and echoed him with a
round of roaring apuse.
Glen held his breath and gazed at Daran with an awed look.
“How did he…” Glen gulped, “How did Alpha Daran… I thought we were going to lose for sure…”
J stood by his side and was looking at Daran as well.
This scene reminded her of the reason she fell in love with Daran in the first ce.
Daran may have wronged her in the past. But without a doubt, he was still the strongest, most
powerful Alpha in the world.
J looked up to him since she was a little girl.
And this admiration is still deeply rooted in her heart even today.
“Let’s go.”
J took her eyes off Daran and said to Glen, “The Rogue King is still in the Crimson Fort.
Hopefully, we can catch him before he runs away.
Jostled by the crowd of soldiers, they swarmed into the Crimson Fort through the North Gate. The
gate was wide open now, thanks to Jeff and Steven.

Jostled by the crowd of soldiers, they swarmed into the Crimson Fort through the North Gate. The
gate was wide open now, thanks to Jeff and Steven.
Yet the city was still inplete chaos, with rogues running around like rats on the street and taking
civilians as their hostages.
J and her soldiers immediately got to work.
They spread out through the city and helped to rescue civilians from the rogue’s hand and put down
the fire that the rogues set.
J caught a rogue under the rampart.
The rogue was about to climb up to the wall and escape. But J grabbed him by his ankle and
dragged him down forcefully.
“Where is the Rogue King?”
J seized his throat and hissed in a dangerous voice.
The rogue
ugly grin.
looked back at her, breathing heavily. His yellow teeth are based on an
“You will never catch the King,” he said arrogantly.
J added pressure to his throat. Her thumb pressed down on his Adam’s apple.
“You lost,” she said. “Answer wisely or I will snap your f**king n*ck like a twig. Now let us try this
again–Where. Is. The. King?!”
The rogue quivered.
He said slowly through his gritted teeth, “I said…you will never catch the King-”
J tightened her grip abruptly as though she was about to break his neck the next second.
“B–Because-”
The rogue said urgently before she killed him.
“…We don’t know who the Rogue King is ourselves!” he gasped.
J froze.
“You have got to be kidding me,” she said.
“No, it is true! Nobody knows,” the rogue murmured. “We took all of our orders from Sterning. We
never met the King once. We don’t even know if the King is a man or a woman. You caught
Sterning…You should ask Sterning these questions!”
The fight between Daran and Sterning was life or death.
Daran did not have any time to interrogate Sterning before killing him.
And with Sterning dropping dead, nobody knew who the Rogue King was, not even these rogues.
How clever.
“Please…let me go,” the rogue begged J. “I told you everything that I know. No one is around.
They won’t know if you set me free-”
J tightened her grip mercilessly.
J tightened her grip mercilessly.
With a snapping sound, the rogue was broken. He was dead almost instantly. J gave one cold
look at his body and gazed into the distance.
The Rogue King could be anywhere now.
He, or she, could still be in the city. Or already fled away.
Yet J would have no way of knowing for sure because she didn’t know what the King looked
like.
They took down Crimson Fort. But there were still many things to be worried about.
A horrified cry came from the distance.
J immediately turned around and rushed forward following that sound.
When she got there, she found a group of soldiers surrounding a house on fire. Cries and yells were
coming from the house.
A young couple and their child were taken hostage by a rogue.
The rogue refused to step out nor let them go.
The roof was about to crash down in fire.
“Just step out already!” a soldier yelled at the rogue, “You will all going to die like this!”
The rogue held a knife against the couple’s back. A maniacal light gleamed in his bulging eyes.

“You will f**king kill me anyway! So I am taking these people with me! We are all going to die in the
fire! Today!”
He roared with fanaticughter.
The wife gasped a sob. Her husband held her waist tightly. His body was also trembling with fear.
The roof would crash down any minute.
They were running out of time.
“Step back,” J said to those soldiers.
“Gamma J! What are you going to do? It is too dangerous-”
“STEP BACK!”
J rushed straight at the house, shifting into a silver wolf in the midair. She bit on
the rogue’s shoulder fiercely. The roof made a horrible squeaking sound at the
same time.
“Take cover underneath my body!” J cried.
With a loud noise, the roof fell,ing down with burning mes. But it did not hit on the young
couple and their child. Instead, itnded on the silver wolf’s back.
The group of soldiers rushed in and rescued them out of the burning house. The rogue’s body was
left on the ground. It was soon engulfed by the fire.
“Thank you…thank you…”
The husband held his crying wife with one hand and reached out another hand to J.
His face was lit by the joy of survival.
“Thank you so much,” he repeated over and over again. “If it weren’t for you, we would have died by
now. You saved my family’s life!”
J shifted back to human and shook his hand.
“You are wee. We are just doing our job,” she said.
She took one particr look at the husband.
This was a handsome man. Even with ashes and tear stains on his face, he still managed to stand
out from the crowd with his appearance.
Even though he was dressed in amoner’s clothes, he still looked like a noble.
“What is your name?” J asked.
“Lance Adler. And this is my wife, La. I am the local smith.”
J nodded to them with a smile, “How is your child doing? I didn’t scare him, did I?”
La showed J the baby in her arms. Luckily, the baby was sleeping soundly.
J was about to ask this family a few more questions when the sound of trumpets
rang in the distance.
“What is that noise!” La asked, sounding startled. “Are the roguesing back?”
“No, it ising from our army. The Alpha is summoning us,” J reassured. “You are perfectly
safe. But I should go now.”
She waved the Alders goodbye and went for the sound of the trumpets.
This sound meant that the city was under control now.
Daran was asking them to get together.
They still had no idea who the Rogue King was. But there was a more urgent task.
It was the time for them to dig out the mole.
