#Chapter 404 They’re After Her

Gavin’s POV I could smell them before I could hear them. I knew immediately that something was wrong. Rogues didn’t usually come this close to my territory. Not like this, at least. Not without a death wish. And they sure as hell didn’t move with this kind of purpose. They weren’t wandering; they weren’t hunting for food. They were heading straight for my damn house. I shifted mid-run, muscles cramping, bones reshaping. The wolf took over fast; my vision sharpened, scent exploding in my nose. Two rogues—male, underfed, and desperate. A growl ripped from my throat, so loud it echoed across the yard. I wasn’t the only one who smelled the rogues; Erik was there, as well as a few of my other gammas. They were ready for a fight. I turned to Erik, my wolf’s eyes blazing with pent-up fury. “I need you to check on Judy,” I told him. “And Irene and Matt. I need to make sure my family is safe. There are gammas inside still, but I need someone I trust to keep an eye on them.”
