Another tragedy
Two days later,
The rogue’s attacks had not been heard for the last two days, which got Alex worried about what they were planning. He had finished eating his dinner with Ellie that night when Callum suddenly called and told him that the rogues were attacking a human house not too far from the supreme.
“Don’t wait up for me. Go to bed. I’ll be right back.” He kissed her lips before leaving the house.

They all stood in their hiding places, watching the house, until their boss arrived. “Are they still inside?” Alex asked, to which Callum also nodded. “Yes.”
“Then let’s go in.” Some of them walked to the house slowly, while others stayed hidden in the woods. Alex used his hearing abilities to listen to the noises from inside, and from there he knew the humans were still alive and that they were being threatened by the rogues.
He pushed the door, making it fall to the ground with a loud noise. The rogues looked up, and they quickly stood up. Alex and Callum walked into the room only to see the human lady and man on their knees, shivering in fear.
“Consider today your last day.” Alex said, but before he could move closer to them, one of them brought out a knife. He laughed before looking at the five rogues, who were also looking at them with no fear. He dashed towards the one holding the knife, kicking it away before punching him.
His other men also attacked, and they all fought without transforming. The humans took that as an opportunity and ran for their lives.
The men fought as if their lives depended on it. Alex also kept avoiding things as the man ran to the kitchen to pick up a knife. He pointed it towards Alex and dashed towards him, but dodged and kicked him away, making him scream in pain.
He stood up again with the knife, but this time Alex turned him around and used his hands, holding the knife, to slice his neck. The rogue fell to the ground, lifeless. He looked at the lifeless man before he noticed something. “What’s that smell?” He asked himself before noticing that the smell was coming from leaked gas.
Callum, who had also injured the person he was fighting with, walked closer and asked, “Is that gas?”
“We need to leave now,” he said, to which his men also nodded. They were about to leave the house when one of the rogues suddenly screamed. “No one is getting out of here alive. You die today, Alpha.”
They all looked back to see the rogue holding a lighter. “Run!” Alex screamed, and as soon as he said that, a loud sound of an explosion was heard.
A man with a black hood stood far away from the house. He had been watching the house ever since the rogues attacked. He even knew when the Alpha and his people barged into the house, but he was not expecting an explosion.
He kept watching the house as it was burning profusely. He was so shocked and happy, even though he couldn’t even move from the scene. He watched for some time, making sure that no one would come out before leaving the scene.

The next morning, she woke up only to notice that the bed was empty. “Didn’t he come home last night?” She said to herself, looking at the empty side of the bed before standing up to go and get a clean bath.
After her bath, she went downstairs to eat her breakfast. She waited for some time for him to come back so they could eat, but then she couldn’t wait any longer.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
While eating, she noticed how the maids were looking at her. They’ve always looked at her, but it felt different this time around. She was not sure, but she felt that they were looking at her with pity. She just ignored them and kept checking the time because Alex said he wouldn’t take long, but she didn’t know it would take much longer than she expected.
She stepped out of the house after eating to go look for Maya, but was surprised when she got to the main apartment and started hearing wailing. She entered the house only to see Madeline sitting down on the couch and crying with some people beside her.
She walked closer to them, but her heart started beating faster when she saw Maya also sniffing beside a corner, with Darren trying to console her. “Please, what happened? What’s going on?”
Madeline looked at her, and all of a sudden she stood up and almost ran towards Ellie, but was stopped by the people beside her. “You’ve finally achieved your goals. He’s gone. I hope you’re happy.”
Ellie had also started crying. “Who’s gone, please?”
“I told him you’d only bring him doom, but he didn’t listen. You crazy woman. You killed my son.” The word kept resonating in her head before she passed out, but Darren quickly helped her before she would fall to the ground.

She woke up and realized that she was back in her room. Memories of everything that happened a few hours ago started swarming in her head. She was about to get up when she suddenly heard a voice. “No, Ellie. You’re still weak.”
“Christina. You’re here.” Ellie said with a smile. “I’m fine. I just needed to go downstairs to see Alex. He must be waiting.”
But seeing Christina clean her tears, she quickly stood up. “Alex can’t die. He can’t leave me.” She kept crying, while Christina was also hugging her with tears in her eyes. She saw it on the news that the CEO of Warren Corporation and his friend, who was the CEO of Stewart Corporation, got involved in a fire accident. Even though she was angry at him, she felt so scared and sad. The only thing she was praying for was not to find the both of them among the burnt bodies found at the scene.
They both cried in each other’s arms.
