Claimed By The Rogue Alpha novel Chapter 60

A knock came through, snatching me from my lifeless gaze. I glanced at the door, shut my eyes close and threw my head back at my swivel chair.

I grumbled a 'come in'.

The door pulled open, and there was a moment of silence.

"Sir—"

"What you got?"

Yosef cleared his throat. "The curfew has extended to Brookehurt, starting from 7 in the evening to 8 in the night."

The raid had temporarily interfered with internet connection. Yosef, however, saw to it that it was promptly fixed.

"Is that all?"

He was silent for a while before replying. "A lot of buildings were...destroyed . Vintage happened to be one of them, unfortunately."

"And? What're the statistics?"

"Total. Total raid."

I shut my eyes tight. Emotions eating me raw. I swallowed the bile that'd found its way into my mouth, and even getting it removed hurt. The lump in my throat was a stumbling block.

A lone tear ran down from my left eye. I didn't bother to wipe it off.

"Sir…A body was found two nights ago. That's the instigator." I didn't say anything, but rather turned to look at him. "It was determined as a work of a wolf. The grievance of Fridgeton citizens is born from the fact that the three bodies were all victims of a wolf attack."

I frowned at him, despite my depressed state. "What're talking about? What three bodies?"

"Over two past months, there have been cases—"

"What am I to you? A daftie?"

"Certainly not," Yosef said, shaking his head.

I eyed him, but then soon shook out if my annoyance. "So, there is the guy from… the highway. Lane what is that?"

"114."

"So, who's the third?"

Yosef hesitated. He then straightened up and said, "Pete Haynes."

I pulled back. "What?"

Despite being several inches shorter than Yvonne, Andrea wasn't intimidated. If anything, her resolve to tackle her potential threat increased.

Andrea crossed the distance between them, her eyes still fixed on her. She flashed the phone before Yvonne whose face expressed utter confusion. Yvonne glanced at the phone, her lips making a little circle. Andrea banked on it. That singular action pierced a hole in any hope she'd had that this was a joke.

Yvonne soon got a grip on herself and tore her gaze from the screen. She fixed it on Andrea. "Okay, what the fuck is going on here?"

"Do you know him?"

Yvonne regarded her with contempt before heading to the room. Andrea rushed towards her and barred her way.

If looks could kill, Andrea would have been six feet underground by now. But she didn't care. Nothing else mattered.

"Answer the fucking question!"

"Yes, I know him." Yvonne snapped back. "What, can you let me be now?"

One blow to the stomach, it was. However, she fought to keep calm. She couldn't just blow up without learning the extent of Yvonne's knowing to The Master.

"Did you guys have sex?"

Yvonne raised her brow, her right eye batting. It was all the reply Andrea needed. "You're so fucking unbelievable," Yvonne spat, pushing her off her way.

Andrea didn't chase after her. She had gotten all the answers she needed. She'd always known The Master was a fuckboy. She'd always known his libido was so high, it only made her wonder if he thought about sex every hour of the day. But never had it crossed her mind that this person she'd pledged her heart to would be so callous as to sleep with her friend. The line had ultimately been crossed and she would do everything in her fucking power to bring The Master down. Everything.
