Chapter 0023 Well talk later . why dont you pick up with what you were doing for now ? She nodded and hurried back toward her desk . Everyone but Dahlia looked at me with distaste , and I ignored them . Since youre stepping into the role so completely … He grumbled and placed a folder in my hands . I glanced at it . Shelter ? Ive been trying to get it approved for a while , he explained , leading me into his office . But my brother keeps rejecting it because I lacka luna . Thats why I need you . I opened the folder . What could having a luna do for … I set my jaw , having scanned the first few lines . I closed it and shut the door behind me . You want to harbor rogues ? Are you out of your mind ? Id heard that you were ambitious , but this is taking it too far . Why do you think that ? Rogues are savages on the best of days . Dangerous , violent they cant even keep an oath if they tried . Theyre menaces , and you want to invite them to live in Midnight ? He chuckled at that . You feel strongly about this . Rogues killed my v mother . His eyes widened . What ? Not in your notes on me ? His lips twitched . If you think your brother would actually approve this , luna or not , youre insane . You already have too much clout . Having a massive , untraceable militia force would be Theodores lips twitched upward . Calm down , girl . Dont call me girl . Im two years older than you , boy . He let out a laugh , not offended in the slightest . Fair enough . I narrowed my eyes at him . You dont want the throne , but youre not making that clear to him . Are you going to tell me whats really going on , or just let me assume that youre either a liar or insane ? I think youd be better off seeing it first . He smiled . Take the file with you . Seeing what ? +25 BONUS Chapite naya The rogue settlement at the edge of Midnight , I left less than half an hour later . I took a carriage out of the city toward the settlement , glaring down at the folder in my hands . Everyone knew the danger of rogues . There was no way he was sheltered or naive enough to not understand , so what was he playing at ? The carriage came to a stop . I braced myself and got out and felt like Id been slapped in the face . The first thing I saw was a group of children in dirty clothing playing tag as a young pregnant woman watched on . It took more than a few minutes of scanning the area to even see a man , and he looked anything but dangerous . These people were mostly unmated omegas , survivors of rape who had been exiled for getting pregnant , and other victims made up the rest of them . My heart clenched with sympathy seeing their barely treated injuries . They looked road weary as if they had been walking for years just to arrive here . I shook my head . These werent rogues . They were refugees . I opened the file , scanned the collected documentation , and realized the problem . The legal definition of rogue had been expanded recently to encapsulate anyone whose citizen profile had no pack registration . If they were exiled , they wouldnt be able to move their profile to another pack . It was a dastardly loophole made to punish the victims even more . It felt more cruel than any rogue . I wandered through the settlement , listening to the women speak highly of Theodore- he had shown them kindness , given them a safe place to live when no one else would , not for power or politics , but out of pure compassion . If this was the truth of the plan , then I had to support it . The metallic scent of blood cut through the air . I froze , scanning my surroundings for the source . A man lumbered past me . He was big and burly , eyes flickering with red light . My of muscles tensed , instinct taking over as I inched until I was between him and the group children . He went still and glared at me . Dont look at me like that ! he snarled . I glanced around quickly , looking for a weapon . There wasnt one . I said dont look at me like that ! I dug my heels in , bracing for when he attacked . He howled . Then , Theodores calm voice came from behind me . Whats going on , Ben ? Theres no need to be upset .
