Chapter 191:
“Nah, this should be enough. We should be able to overpower it,” I muttered.
“Don’t forget,” I said, tossing a mask at him before putting on mine. I couldn’t risk being seen.
As quietly as possible, we made our way to the trap, weapons at the ready in case the animal decided to attack.
Frozen by shock, the long knife in my hands slipped from my grip when I saw a girl lying on the ground. Her head was covered by her hair, and her legs were bleeding.
Peering closer, I could see blood trickling between her legs.
Was she pregnant?
The cold bit into her skin, making her shiver violently. Her hand shielded her stomach from the floor, and she didn’t stop crying.
“Our trap caught a girl!” Dax shouted in horror.
Devin
“A girl?” I repeated, confusion taking over me.
But how could that be?
What was she doing in the woods at this ungodly hour? Shouldn’t she be with her parents or guardians? Who was she running from?
Was she here for us?
How did she find out where we lived?
Fear gripped me at the thought that our hideout had been exposed, and soon, people would be coming in and out. We didn’t want anyone’s presence. We were fine on our own.

The presence of other wolves meant trouble, and that was the last thing we wanted.
“What do you think, Devin? What is she doing here? Is she a rogue?” Dax whispered, looking up at me for answers.
“Trust me, I’m as confused as you are,” I replied, squatting down to retrieve my knife.
“Do you think we still need the knife, now that we know she’s just a girl?” Dax asked quietly, moving closer to the motionless girl.
The last thing we wanted was to startle her.
“Not yet. What if she’s armed? What if she’s a rogue or a spy? We have to be careful.”
I could sense an uncomfortable tension in Dax. Quietly, we tiptoed towards the girl, standing over her.
“Who are you?” My voice boomed, causing her to jerk in fear.
I couldn’t miss the look Dax shot at me.
Why did I sound like an Alpha?
Only Alphas used such an authoritative tone.
My brows furrowed as I tried to think. I’d heard Dax use the same commanding voice before.
What was going on?
