The Alpha and The Enforcer [TATE] (STILL EDITING)

Chapter 23

"You want to test out the full extent of your powers and you should, so go run away," 

He was weary at first, "You sure?" he asked.

"Positive, I'll be at the waterfall, if you need me," I replied and that was all he needed to run ahead. I changed course and headed to the waterfall. On my way to the waterfall, I stopped dead in my tracks for some unknown reason. Something feels...off. I focused on my senses to try and figure out the reason for this feeling. I closed my eyes and focused on my hearing, but suddenly an image of a girl near the pack borders with two other guys came into mind. The girl had a weapon in her hand, which seemed like a broken piece of pipe. They were about to cross the borders. Then I realized something. That girl is the same person that Jacob almost killed. I should inform Jacob or the other pack leaders but I don't know if what I saw was real. I don't even know how I saw what I saw but I have to check it out. The patrol team might take care of it though but I still wanna check it out. 

I headed for the northern pack borders as fast as I can. I dodged trees and branches where necessary and jumped over fallen logs. I was about five minutes out when I caught a raw scent in the air. The smell of a rogue. I stopped in my tracks to figure out what I'm supposed to do. I looked around to see if the patrol team was nearby in their usual hiding spots but there was none. 

Where are they?

This is something Jacob should know about. But he's on his run and probably miles into the territory by now. I'll take a look at things with the rogues and if things escalate, I'll handle it. Besides, it's been a while since I handled a rogue on my own. I should be fine. But as the new Enforcer of the pack, is required of me to report the pack if I see any kind of rogue activity. With a frustrating sigh, I opened a mind link with the new Beta of the pack, Christian. 

"Christian?" 

"What's up?" He answered immediately. "There's a rogue that's about to cross the Northern borders," I answered. 

"The team on site has not reported any kinds of rogue activities," he responded. "Well, that's not surprising seeming that they are not on site. The entire Northern Borders is open and free to anything," 

"That's impossible," you could hear the seriousness in this voice. 

"Well, it seems not," I continued on my path to the Northern border. Once I got there I stood behind a few trees to keep myself hidden from the rogues who seemed cautious about taking a step over the borders. Probably wondering if the patrol team gonna come out and attack them if they did. The girl that I saw earlier in the...vision or whatever it was - was there along with two other guys. "We should inform Jacob," Christian said. "Jacob is out on a run, testing out his heightened abilities, and it is probably far off into the territory. Even if we told him he might not get back in time," I told him as I was approaching the border. 

"I'm on-site," I mind-linked Christian. "How many do you count?" he asked, now sounding calm. "3," I replied. "I can take them out and bring them in," I added quickly. "Are you sure you don't need backup? I can send a group of warriors to your location right now," 

"It's just three rogues Christian, not an army. I can handle it," I reassured him. I observed to see what the rogues were doing and slowly they started to step over the borderline. "I don't doubt that. OK while you're doing that I'm gonna see what happened to the patrol team and send some warriors to replace them," he said and I nod my head, forgetting that he can't see me. "Got it. I'll mind link you when I'm done," was the last thing I said before coming out of the bushes to confront the rogues. The men looked shocked by my appearance but the girl just glared at me as if she was not afraid of me. If looks could kill I would be six feet under already with the glare she gave. She has so much hate in her eyes that it's almost frightening. 

"Get off my pack's land," I commanded. "We don't take orders from you," the girl replied, the hate not leaving her eyes nor the glare that is directed towards me. I raised an eyebrow at her. This is new. 

"You've got a lot of hate for me. I can see it in your eyes," I said as I started to walk closer to them. I don't know this girl, let alone see her except for that one time we fought, yet she held so much hate for me. I suddenly became curious. What have I done to her? She kept silent so I continued. "But I don't understand. I don't know you. I've never seen it before in my life yet when I look at you, all I see is hate," I stopped hoping that she understands what I'm trying to say. "I'd like to know why," This is not the time to be negotiating with the enemy but I don't think that I'll get my answers if she's locked up in an interrogation room under 24-hour surveillance. Besides, I think this is personal. 

"Because you got everything!" she exclaimed with gritted teeth. I flinch at her response. I was still confused though. "What are you talking about?" 

"I'm talking about for almost 22 years of my existence, you have gotten everything. All of it! It should've been me, not you," I stayed silent because I still do not understand why she hates me. Maybe she was just somebody who didn't grow up in the right home or family and I was the person she wanted to be. Yeah right, Ellie, not even you sound so sure of that. She started walking towards me slowly.

"It should've been me who went to school, it should've been me who had a family... a home. You didn't... you didn't deserve any of it," she was directly in front of me now.

"You don't know a thing about me -" I cut her off but before I could finish she cut me off by saying. 

"AND IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME WHO MOM AND DAD DROPPED OFF THE EASTERN BORDERS THAT NIGHT," she exclaimed to me. But something she said caught my attention. The Eastern borders are where Uncle Ted found me. It's where my parents or something dropped me off. Uncle Ted said it was raining that day and that he almost didn't recognize me if I didn't cough. He said even though it was cold, dark, and raining I didn't cry, not a single tear was shed from my eyes. Looking back just seemed too painful so I asked Uncle Ted to not talk about it again. 

"What did you just say?" I asked her. Full in a serious mood right now. "You never wanna know who they are or what they look like. Even if you badly wanna know why they abandon you to be alone in an unknown world all by yourself. It's a shame really that you had to believe that," she pouted her lips to look innocent as she moved away a stray hair from my face and behind my ear. "It's a shame that Precious. Uncle. Ted never saw the basket just a few feet away from yours that night in the rain," I stepped away from her, providing some space between us. She gave me a look that made me sick to the stomach

"I don't understand,"

"It was only a few steps away onto rogue territory and he didn't see me. Even with his werewolf abilities, he still didn't hear my heartbeat,"

"Enough," I said suddenly. "How do you know all this? You know what it doesn't matter. Your lying," I told her because there was no way that this is true. "Hear my heartbeat tell if I'm lying," she said but I didn't do what she told me to because some people can be calm while telling a lie and that can trick anybody, That's why only an Alpha can make sure if you're telling the truth. She sigh before walking around me, "Belief what you want to believe.  But I don't wanna hurt your pack oh no no no... I just wanna hurt you," she stopped beside me and then leaned in to whisper in my ears. 

"Sister,"
