Aurora was very curious to see the Rogue King’s headquarter.

They had heard a lot of rumors about this place, the Grace Ruin. But none of the people they knew had actually set foot here.

Until today.

They arrived at the mysterious land.

It was actually a beautiful city with ancient and exotic architectures. The streets winded through a mosaic of buildings, from towering spires to weathered stone bridges arching gracefully over the

canals.

The scent of spices mingled with the melodies of street musicians, flooding into the car through the lowered window.

“Well, it is actually not that bad.”

Aurora whispered to Damien while watching a group of children running down the street, chasing a falling kite.

“It is nothing like what I have imagined before.”

What have you imagined?” Damien asked while playing with a lock of her hair.

“Like streets filled with blood and corpses? Buildings built with skulls? You know…like hell?”

Damien let out a light snort, “Silas is not stupid. This is his home, his headquarter. If he turns this place to hell, no rogues will ever want to settle down here. He needs the manpower. So he has to make this place welcoming.”

His face turned dark slightly.

“But he is not this nice to other people’s home,” he said in a cold voice.

Aurora was reminded of the soaring fire in the Fox Town, the hung bodies on the flagpoles of the Crimson Fortress.

Silas was a monster for sure. Inside and out.

They needed to end his life before he got another chance of invading their territory.

The car came all the way deep into the belly area of the city and stopped in front of a magnificent palace.

B3 G.

This must be where Silas resided,

Damien and Aurora got off the car.

They looked around and found a group of rogues watching them from the distance. They all dressed like servants and were whispering to one another with horrified faces.

Eventually, one servant plucked up the courage and approached them carefully.

“A–Alpha Damien…and Miss Aurora…Good day.”

The servant bowed, quivering slightly, and continued in a shaky voice:

“The King is expecting you in the main hall, Alpha Damien. He wants to speak to you alone… And in the meantime, Miss Aurora can follow me to the guest room and have some rest….”

Damien let out an icy sneer.

“I am in no mood to see him now,” he said coldly. “Now, show us to our room.”

The servants looked astonished.

He obviously didn’t want to obey Silas’s order. Yet he also didn’t have enough courage to force Damien into anything.

While the servant was still in a trance, Damien held Aurora’s hand and walked past him in long strides and made his way up the staircase.

“H–Hold on a second!”

The servant cried in panic, catching up with them hastily, “This way please…”

On their way to the guest room, they bumped into many servants and maids.

All those people dodged to the sides franticly when they saw Damien and lowered their heads as ‘much as possible to avoid eye contact with him,

Aurora was amazed by this.

“They all seem terrified of you,” she whispered to Damien.

Damien smiled faintly.

“Apparently so,” he said.

“For what? Do you know?”

Damien said in an offhand voice, “I have fought too many battles. Killed too many rogues.”

If this was said by another person, it would sound like bragging.

But not for Damien.

Damien simply said the truth.

Even though they were alone in the Rogue King’s kingdom, these rogues still feared Damien like hell.

They were brought into a suite on the top floor. The room was gorgeously furnished with a great garden view.

Looked like Silas was really treating them like guests, not prisoners. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“What do you think he is up to?” Aurora asked Damien in a low voice. “Bring us back here and treat us so nicely?”

Damien took his seat on the couch very calmly.

“He is apparently up to something. And we will find out about that soon,” he said. “This is a race. Does he get what he wants first, or do we kill him first?”

Aurora smiled and sat down next to him, “I bet my money on the latter.”

They snugged on the couch. Aurora felt a little tired. Damien held her in his arms and told her to a

nap.

Aurora shut her eyes, taking a deep breath of Damien’s scent.

This was amazing.

They were in their enemy’s headquarter. But she didn’t feel afraid at all.

Probably because she knew that she was safe as long as Damien was by her side.

He was the greatest Alpha. Capable of anything in the world.

Aurora fell asleep in Damien’s arms. She slept lightly. After what felt like an hour or so, she heard some low whisperings.

“…I am truly sorry, Alpha Damien. But the King is here, waiting to see you…”

Aurora let out a small yawn and opened her eyes.

A maid knelt on the floor in front of them. She was too afraid to raise her head and look at them.

Aurora rubbed her sleepy eyes, “Silas is here?”

“Yeah, apparently he came himself,” Damien shrugged. “Do you want to sleep a little longer? I am sure he can wait.”

Aurora chuckled, “No, I am fine. Go ahead and see what he wants. He seems really desperate.”

“Do you want to come along?” Damien asked.

“The King wants to see you only, Alpha Damien,” said the maid carefully.

Damien casted a freezing look at her, “Nobody cares what he wants.”

The maid quivered and shut her mouth.

“So?” Damien asked Aurora again.

“No, I am fine. You go ahead,” Aurora smiled. “I have had enough of that face in one day already.”

Damien nodded and stood up, kissing Aurora on her forehead.

“I will be back shortly,” he said.

Damien and the maid left the room.

Aurora stretched her body a bit and walked to the window.

She looked outside.

There were guards patrolling around. And servants were mowing the lawns and trimming the trees under the guard’s watch. If the servants were a minute slow, they would get lashed by the guards immediately.

Aurora’s eyes darkened.

This place wasn’t so peaceful and quiet at a second look.

Just then, a loud noise came from behind her back.

Aurora turned around and found the suite’s room had been busted open and a group of people marched right inside.

The woman walking at the front was nobody else but Chloe.

Aurora narrowed her eyes dangerously.

She was not surprised to see Chloe here.

This evil woman must have been working with Silas when they were still in Crimson Fortress. Together, they killed Veronica.

“Well, hello there, my little sister.”

Chloe curved her lips into a malicious smile.

“Do you miss me?”

“You and I are no sisters.” Aurora said in a cold voice, “Now get the fuck out of my room. I didn’t ask you to come in.”

Chloe bust into roaring laughter abruptly.

“Your room? Oh my, I am laughing my ass off here! This is not your room. This is the Rogue King’s kingdom. You are a fucking nobody here! You better pay me some respect, or I will have you executed right away!”

“Oh yeah?”

Aurora sneered and walked up to Chloe.

Chloe took a quick step back intuitively. Aurora approached her one more step.

“What makes you think that you have the right to execute me?” Aurora hissed.

Chloe was intimidated by Aurora.

She gulped nervously and puffed her chest, pretending to be mighty and tough.

“Because–I am the King’s mate!”

Chloe announced proudly.

Meet the Queen of all rogues, you bitch!”
