Chapter 1122: Aurora

The night was so dark with moonlight covered by gloomy clouds, while thunder and lightning flashed in the black sky, indicating that tonight a thunderstorm would come.

Everyone standing guard around the border pulled up their raincoats in preparation for a downpour tonight.

For the past week the weather at night had been unfriendly and forced all the lycan warriors to take cover under their guard posts, while they guarded the border.

For some reason, recently there were several rogues crossing their borders without permission, and when they were being caught and interrogated, they always said that their village had been attacked and there was nothing left there.

This news was indeed quite disturbing for Torak and made him ordered to add security around the border.

Torak has indeed heard about several Alphas who have defected from his dominion since the war, and now intended to build a new world by opposing Torak as the Supreme Alpha. They thought they could replace Torak because there were many other shapeshifters who had died during the war, especially the Alphas and their pack members who were so loyal to the Supreme Alpha.

The defectors thought this was the right time to remove Torak from his position and challenge his rule.

Not just once, but there had been three attacks during this one month to the pack that Torak was leading and even though those attacks didn't take any casualties on Torak's side, but still knowing the nature of the Alpha, he became a little bit more overprotective and made excessive guard especially around his family.

Not only that, a week ago an intruder was found, he managed to break into the pack house, and now Torak even increased security around the border by three times.

This was insane, and the first time this has happened since the war ended.

Even Aurora, who was now a teenager and only two days ago celebrated her seventeenth birthday, was not allowed to leave the house for her safety.

"Is everything okay here?" Kayden asked one of the guards there. He came in his human form and wore his favorite brown leather jacket that Aurora bought for him.

"Yeah, nothing happened," one of them replied, smiling as Kayden approached. "Soon I will be patrolling from the north to the east side."

"I will come with you," Kayden said in a low voice. He then looked up at the dark sky and looked somber again. "Looks like it's going to rain again."

Kayden was old enough to take on his father's position, but he always refused for reasons only he knew, even though Torak had mentioned this many times. Rumor has it that he was still trying to find his mate.

Yes, even when all the lycans his age had found their mate, Kayden had yet to find his.

And another rumor said that the curse Torak had passed on to his son.

Of course no one dared to say that directly in front of Kayden or Torak, they still didn't want to die, after all.

"Okay, let's go," Gin said, one of Kayden's close friends. He was the strongest candidate as Beta if Kayden became Alpha.

Kayden didn't say much, which was what he inherited from Torak, then jumped up and turned into a huge white beast, a very smooth change.

"Wow.." Gin and the other three lycan warriors clicked their tongues at the white beast standing before them, dashed to the darkness.

"I have seen him change many times, but still in awe of his beauty..." Gin shook his head and followed the white beast by turning into his light brown beast.

================

"Where is Kayden?" Aurora asked, she had just come out of her room because she heard the sound of thunder so loud and felt uneasy because the atmosphere in the pack house was too quiet.

"He went with your father," Raine replied, sitting by the window, staring at the raindrops that seemed to race against the frosted glass. It started raining.

"He went on patrol again.." Aurora muttered. Then sat beside her mother and rested her head on Raine's shoulder, looking at the living room which was shining brightly and looked warm.

"What is it?" Raine asked as she gently stroked her daughter's head, she could feel the anxiety from Aurora's tone and this was enough to make her a little worried, because recently her daughter seemed a little restless.

Raine thought it? was because Torak were too strict with her.

"It's okay..." Aurora replied quietly, she shook her head and closed her eyes, feeling her heart beating fast. Something was bothering her and she wasn't sure what she was feeling right now.

Aurora had never felt this way before and she didn't know how to explain it. Maybe it was because it has been raining a lot lately, so it affected her mood.

================

[OVER THERE!] Gin called out to the other two beasts.

The four of them darted through the branches of trees that had fallen to the ground and also past the pines that were hiding their prey.

Meanwhile, it started to rain, making their sense of smell impaired and difficult to see in the thick fog.

Damn!

It was too much trouble when they found out that their territory was being invaded by the rogues again.

There were at least four rogues they managed to find, crossing this border and trying to attack a guard.

[WHERE ARE THE OTHERS?] Gin asked through a mind- link, then a sharp howl sounded in several places, indicating their presence.

[Some are on their way here,] answered one of the beasts through mind- link.

At least they weren't outnumbered and endangered themselves, as these rogues could act recklessly and hurt their attackers, without batting their eyes. They seemed so desperate to move to the east.

[Kayden, you're moving too fast!] Gin shouted, he was lagging far behind, while the white beast had already knocked one beast down and held him on the wet ground, until another lycan warrior came and tackled the creature.

The white beast intended to continue his chase, but, before Kayden could move any further, something hit his side and bit him on the shoulder.

Immediately, a savage howl could be heard from the white beast.
