Chapter 220

But his scent was strong. He was nearby. Jenson had said something about the Rogue using trees.

I look up but can’t see anything.

“Why don’t you come out to play?” I call out into the silence of the woods. “Or is the little beasty afraid?

I keep my hands free. Wielding a knife right now would only make him less likely to appear. I had to get my timings perfect.

‘I know what you are. And you know what I am.” I call out again. “So why waste my time with these games.”

I feel his presence hovering above me, but I don’t look up. He clearly wants to give me the element of surprise, so I will play him at his own game.

Stepping forwards, I keep my eyes in front of me. He is trying to understand me, they always did. After all, I had climbed the fence and traipsed through the fields in my beautiful Louboutins. A price I had to pay to wear beautiful shoes and to kill my targets.

The rustling above me is a purposeful move. He had worked at concealing himself for a long time. He wanted me to look up, just as he jumped down on me. Instead I move further into the woods which is followed by a grunt of annoyance.

He may be able to lure others to their death, but two could play at that game. “Talk.” I snap. “I know you can.”

“Why are you following me?” He growls from up the tree as I check my nails. “You are causing me problems that I don’t need.”

“You are causing me problems by following me.” He growls

I roll my eyes. “Are you going to come down here so that I can kill you?”

He laughs, a throaty garbled sound that sounds more like he is choking on something. “You look like her, but you don’t smell like her.” He drops directly in front of me. His beast towers over me, bloody drool hanging from its sharp teeth. “You smell weak and you smell delicious.

He slowly drags a tongue over his sharp teeth.

“Is that supposed to scare me?” I cock an eyebrow at him. “Because I’ve dealt with a lot worse than an idiot who likes to play with his food. And I am far from weak.”

He growls agaln, stretching up even taller, but I just stand here, unphased and unbothered. Being massive was not always an advantage. Being = smallef™eans I’m quicker, and-can get Qt of tighter spots. Sometimes carrmove in ways they aren’t expecting.

His claws reach out to grab my shoulders ard I step back, just out of reach. It was a simple but yet

“Why did you target those girls?

He doesn’t answer and staying at full height, he moves around me in a circle, trying to freak me out. His moves are so predictable, I wonder how Dane and the others had struggled to kill him.

He comes to a halt in front of me. “You want them, don’t you. You want her for yourself?” “l can help. I can get in unseen. We could work together. Lycan and Lycan taking over the shitty Wolves.” I held a hand up, pointing to myself. “Lycan.” I slowly turn my hand to point my finger at him. “Rogue. Don’t confuse the two.

That deep throaty gargle ripples through the air. “Would you feel better if I shifted?

He changes back to the chestnut haired man that had lured the git” away. Not even afraid to conced athis naked body. A massive lump of flesh missing from his leg. You wouldn’t think he would be able to walk.

0.” In one fluid movement, I pull a knife from my waistband and jab it into his stomach. Surprise floods his eyes and a cry of anger releases from his throat as I rip the blade upwards to his ribs.

They take too long with their games. Trying to draw it out until they get what they want. With Rogues it was best to be quick. Not allowing them time to plot their next move. Always be unsuspecting.

His hands grab the handle of the knife and he pulls it out, sending a spray of deep red all over me. He starts to heal before my very eyes. I hadn’t gone deep enough

I pull out the other knife and sink it into his bad leg as he tries to knock me down. He goes to pull it out, I fire the gun, the bullet disappearing into his forehead before blowing the back of his head out.

“One down.
