*6*
I follow behind Decker and the man beside him, if I'm right this is Colt, Decker's beta.
I notice Colt continues to glance at me. Curiosity clouds his eyes and I smirk as his ear twitches lightly, probably trying to listen for my heart beat.
"If you have something you would like to say, say it." I say kindly with a slight smirk to my voice as his eyes widen in shock. "I don't bite, you might have diseases I don't want." I add with more smirk dripping into the sentence.
Colt gives me a disbelieving look as Decker gives me one of disapproval.
"You don't have a heartbeat, yet you're alive, you're a vampire, yet smell like a rogue?" Colt observes causing me to laugh as his false assumption.
It is confusing, I smell like a wolf, yet you can't sense my wolf, I don't have a heart beat, I don't breath.
"I'm not a vampire, I'm a wolf," I state calmly though my smirk widens at Colts confusion and slight concern. The joy of seeing others try to figure out the puzzle warms my cold, dead heart. Not literally, obviously.
"You should be dead then, you don't have a heart beat, I don't hear you breathing either." At Colts words I look to Decker, his face still expressionless though one eyebrow is raised very slightly. He too is curious.
"Well technically I'm dead." I shrug, "but the wonders that dark magic will do." I chuckle lightly causing Colts eyes to almost pop out it seems.
Before Colt can ask more questions we are at the meeting room. Colt stops as he looks to me. "Okay, we will come get you whe-"
"She is coming with us." Decker states cutting Colt off and a burst of excitement goes through me. I'm a nosy person at heart, so nosy I'm the one that will do anything to ease drop on a conversation.
If I'm eating and start listening to a couple or group of people's conversations I will stop eating all together just to listen to every detail. If I'm already in a conversation with someone and accidentally pick up on an interesting topic from another group, I'll stop talking and start ease dropping almost instantly. I know what you're thinking. Curiosity killed the cat.
But satisfaction brought it back.
Colt gives Decker a confused look and they seem to chat in the mind link for a moment before Colt nods and opens the door walking through, Decker right behind him and I behind Decker.
We walk into a room with a large oval table in the middle. Chairs surround the table, filled with men and women of all ages, and eyes glued to me, the smell of books tickles my nose yet their aren't many books in here.
Colt starts to point to a chair that is on the outskirts, closer to the wall, of the table but Decker grabs my arm lightly and drags me with him.
I shrug at Colts confused look towards me before he looks to Decker who is still emotionless. Decker ignores his eyes as he brings me along and sits me at a chair beside him at the front of the oval.
"Let's start the meeting." Decker starts but someone clears their throat, all eyes go to the man, a couple seats down from us, his eyes stay glued to me.
I resist the urge to smirk. I am obviously making the council men and women nervous. "All due respect sir, but she is a rogue." The man doesn't even try to dance around the issue as he spits the word rogue from his mouth. As if I broke into his home and killed his loved ones and made him watch.
"Oooooooo, someone give the man a cookie, he wins 'spy the rogue', next time I'll try and make it harder for you." I laugh lightly causing the man to glare at me. Other members of the council follow his lead and glare at me while others look at me curiously.
"My king, she should be killed at once for her disrespect to a council men!" The man cries out to Decker as he points at me and I almost snicker as I see Colt roll his eyes at the dramatic man.
Of course, Decker removes the urge to snicker as instead he replaces it with the urge to vomit at his words.
"Arnold you should be killed for the disrespect to your queen." With those words everyone loses the color in their face, including myself. If my heart had not already stopped it's beat, those words definitely would have taken my hearts rhythm. "I originally went looking for a rogue to help us with this case, I ended up finding my mate." I look at the king in shock at the truthfulness of his words.
Doubt seeps into my mind and confusion fills me. So maybe he was not lying? Maybe he didn't put a spell on me. Maybe the tingles and the pull of a mate Bond was real. Of course the thought of a mate brings back the memories of Jacob and I clench my jaw, my hands ball into fist and I bury the doubt and I assure myself that this is all a trick, all a spell. He went looking for a rogue to help him, knowing the council wouldn't like that he needed to trick them into believing I was his mate.
Makes perfect sense.
"My apologies, my king." The man bows and he sits in his seat as does the others.
"Now, we have lunas disappearing as well as the occasional other shewolf, but it is mostly lunas." Decker begins as he looks to me. The others do as well and I raise a brow.
"Am I here to speak for all the rogues or something?" I question as I look at everyone around me.
"We hoped you could give us answers, if you know of any rogue groups doing this or if any female rogues were getting kidnapped." Colt ask as he shrugs his shoulders while leaning back in his chair.
"Yes because we all are a big happy family and tell each other every thing we do at our evil comic cons." I say sarcastically. The man from before glares at me he starts to open his mouth but I point at him quickly.
"Shut your pie whole if your going to insult me about being a rogue, I will bite you, and I don't mean in a kinky way either." The mans eyes widen slightly, he looks towards Decker, who has a slight smirk on his face.
"Now honestly, if any lunas were to be killed, I would be the one doing it, but we don't take bodies, we leave them." I explain causing a lot of them to give me confused looks.
"Uh c-could you explain more." Colt ask unsure, obviously not sure if he even wants to know.
"I'm a bounty hunter, a well respected one at that, I'm kinda famous among the rogues, my name is Sin maybe you have heard of me." I shrug with a proud smirk. My smirk grows as some of the members gasp as recognition fills them from my name.
"You've killed betas, even alphas." One woman states in both in awe and fear.
"What can I say, I am damn good at my job." I smirk and shrug my shoulders lightly.
"Monster, just killing people for money." Arnold sneers at me and I roll my eyes.
"Oh fuck off, they weren't angel's honey, the last Alpha I killed was impregnating his daughter and her friends, trying to breed an army. You should say thank you, seeing as I cleaned up a mess before it actually became a mess." A gasp goes through the room and Colt's face pales.
"Wait you killed Alpha Jack's?" I nod my head at his words.
"Look at you finally assuming right young grasshopper." I say playfully. "Now that was a kill I took my time on, I also made sure to expose him, how do you think you got the anonymous tip?" I smirk at the awe on Colts face.
"Now back to the Luna business. Bounty rogues aren't taking your lunas, but I don't know about the rest of them," I shrug as I lean back and cross my arms, a knowing look taking over my face. " but I could definitely find out if they are."

The making of To Fall:
Annie is the one who was not supposed to touch the vial.
As Ittzy stated, the wrong person touches the vial will be fatal. Annie touching the vial caused a butterfly effect.
