through the monitor.

“Thank you, The Haven, for making my spying so easy.” He

snorted as he continued to tap the monitor.

His mind wandered back a few days ago to the time he spent in

the warehouse. He had stayed hidden when the ambulances and police

came for Triala and the humans. He waited until the ambulances had

loaded their patients in and rolled on their way. Then he followed the

vehicles from a safe distance. That’s when he learned their true

destination and went back home to figure out what to do next.

This morning, he decided he’d sneak into The Haven and wait for

the opportune time to come finish them off.

But now, after hearing what Thorak had said about possible

Rogue spies in The Haven, plus his vision about something

destructive coming at the hands of the Rogues, he realized he was

wasting his time going after Triala and her lovers.

“Far bigger fish in the sea to look for now,” he said as he stared at

Triala and her lovers in the other room. His plans had now taken a full

turn. He needed to forget about these three and search for more

imperative things. Thorak’s words had freaked him out. Rotan’s

instincts were right. They always have been. Something big was

coming.

There were deeply embedded secrets in the Rogue clan that he and

his fellow Rogue werewolves were ignorant to. Yes, many, many

secrets that might in the future indirectly cause him harm, or worse,

death.

The plague of not knowing haunted him. For a werewolf who

prided himself on always knowing exactly what was in the water

before he placed his foot in it, he didn’t like this one bit. The water

before him looked murkier than Loch Ness, and he’d be damned if

he’d sink his feet even deeper in it until he knew without a shadow of

a doubt that the Loch Ness Monster didn’t come after him ready to

chop off his extremities.

Making his way to the door, he slowly and quietly unlocked it and

exited. He had a big and difficult job ahead of him. One that involved

digging deep into the dirty, dark secrets of the new Rogue clan he was

a member of.

It would take time, but he’d get the answers he looked for.

For the past few minutes, Triala’s worried mind wandered from

one thought to another. Thorak’s visit and troubling words were the

cause of her preoccupation.

“Things are a lot more serious than we first thought.” She looked

at Jake and Sam.

Jake nodded. “Yeah, and a whole lot more complicated. It’s not

going to be an easy job, especially now that our covers have been

compromised and we’ll have to work from the outside rather than the

inside.” Jake turned to Sam. “So what’s the plan?”

Sam didn’t respond to Jake’s question. He had a faraway look in

his eyes, Triala perceived.

Jake raised his voice and snapped his fingers. “Earth calling Sam.

Can you hear us?”

Sam shook his head and focused on his partner. “Hmm, what?”

“I asked about the plan.”

“Plan?” Sam frowned, sounding confused.

“In all the years I’ve known you, Sam, you’ve always had a plan.”

“No, I don’t have one, not yet anyway.”

“Yeah, but that look on your face tells me the gears in your brain

are moving at full speed. So something is up.” Jake came to sit next to

him.

Curious and concerned, Triala followed Jake and sat beside him,

next to Sam. “What is it?”

Sam shook his head. “Nothing yet. It’s just something Thorak let

slip out when he came to visit me, asking me to take on this case, that

keeps creeping back into my head.”

“What was that?” Jake scratched his head.

“A comment about him thinking he would be asking for my help

much later than sooner.”

“Huh?” Jake sneered.

Sam nodded. “Yeah, exactly. I found it weird and asked him what

he meant by that. He brushed it off by saying he wanted to visit me in

a month or so to see how I was doing, but because of the volatile

situation with the Rogue werewolves, he came now asking for my

help.”

“That sounds plausible,” Jake commented.

“Yeah, but the look he had on his face when he first let the

comment slip out was the same look he had now when he let slip out

that we need to get answers soon on these Rogue werewolves before

it’s too late.”

Sam stared at Triala with a serious expression. “You’ve known

him much longer than I have, Triala. Didn’t you find his behavior

before a little odd, like he was hiding something?”

After a short pause, she nodded. “Yes, it was odd. I thought the

reason for his weird behavior was because of what he had to tell us.

But now that I think about it, I, too, felt he wasn’t telling us the whole

story.”

Jake combed his fingers through his hair. “Well, that’s freaking

great! That means there is more shit we don’t know about other than a

doomsday scenario.”

Triala put her hand to Sam’s chest as her heart drummed with fear

and worry. “Then that also means you’ll be playing a bigger part in

this crazy Rogue situation and that uncontrollable thing Thorak hinted

about.”

Tenderness and love shone in Sam’s eyes. “No, baby, not only

me. You, Jake, and I are together now.”

Taking Jake’s hand, he merged their hands together. “We make

one hell of a team. Now that Jake and I found our perfect partner in

work as well as in love, we are never letting you go.”

“Never,” Jake repeated, smiling. Wiping the tear that fell down

Triala’s right cheek, he added, “Whatever the future holds, we’ll face

it together. O ur love will keep us happy and strong.”

Triala sniffled as she dried the other tear streaming down her left

cheek. She had found her soul mates, whom she loved with all her

heart, and yes, she’d be able to face whatever was coming because

Jake and Sam would always be by her side, loving her, and she loving

them.

Reciprocating their smiles, she said, “Yes, my loves, our love is

all we’ll ever need.”
