Fated to the Broken Rogue Chapter Thirteen_ I can't... we can't...
Elliot.I had convinced myself that coming back to work would be easy. Even with the mayor’s backing, Frank would have moved on to the next story and let me dig into my own half-baked storylines.Boy, was I wrong.Horribly wrong.The moment I stepped onto the office floor, Frank practically ambushed me."Elliot!" His voice was loud, overly enthusiastic, and way too early for the caffeine levels in my system. "Glad to see you took my advice and rested for a while. And now, you're back in action. I've been doing some digging on my own since you seemed... let's say, less-than-motivated."My legs stopped moving. "Oh? And what exactly did you 'dig up'?"Frank grinned, looking far too pleased with himself. "I did some background search on your little friend... Damien. He showed up after you took a hit, so I'm not too fond of him."Bile rose in my throat, though I forced a casual shrug. "He's just a friend, Frank. There's nothing connecting him to the town but me.""Oh, but that's where you'
Fated to the Broken Rogue Chapter Fourteen_ Go back to the cabin, Elliot.
Elliot.What was wrong with me?I had been so relieved that Damien would stay with me. He made me laugh most times and helped out with the chores in the cabin without me asking him to.It was very easy to forget that he was a werewolf.But as I left the cabin the next morning, all I felt was the tension simmering in my chest, that strange pull between two different versions of myself.One that wanted Damien, that needed him in ways I hadn't dared acknowledge... and the other that didn't understand what the fuck was going on.Returning to work felt like some kind of temporary escape, even if the peace didn't last.Frank was officially a thorn in my flesh.He leaned against my desk with that look that meant trouble."Morning, Elliot," He greeted, with a voice that was too casual.I couldn't help the eyeroll that followed. "Let me guess. You've got another wild theory?"Frank's grin widened. "You know me too well. But it's not just a theory this time." He leaned in. "I have proof."“Proo
Fated to the Broken Rogue Chapter Fifteen_ I would fight for him
Elliot.The pain shot through my body like fire, but I forced myself to stand up, groaning as I tried to clear the black spots in my vision.I caught a glimpse of Damien's wolf form darting toward the creature, intercepting it before it could reach me again.Fuck."Elliot, stay down!" Damien's voice echoed in my head, sharp with warning.But I wasn't about to just sit back and watch him risk his life alone.I pushed myself to my feet, staggering. That was when the second set of footsteps broke through the clearing. I barely had the time to process the sound before Frank stormed into view, his eyes widening in shock as he took in the view.It was over before it even started.The shock moved quickly to something colder. Anger.His eyes were fixed on the black wolf, whom he must have recognized as Damien somehow, and he raised his weapon... a gun that gleamed under the fading light."No..."My voice wasn't audible enough to break through the chaos that was the creature and Damien fighti
Fated to the Broken Rogue Chapter Sixteen_ One kiss
Elliot.The cabin was silent, save for Damien's ragged breaths echoing through the room. Just like the day I saved him, his blood painted my hands and smeared across my arms as I pressed cloth after cloth to his side.Anything to stop the blood rush. But it kept seeping through, staining everything a deeper shade of crimson."Stay still, okay?" I muttered, trying to keep the worry out of my voice.I wasn't fooling anyone.Damien managed a weak smirk. "You know, I think I look worse than I feel. You can stop fussing, alright?"Moron."Damien, shut up. I swear, if you don't stop talking, I'll knock you out myself." The words came out sharper than I intended, but I couldn't help it.He had been fine when we were coming out of the woods. Fine when he sat on the couch.Then he just started bleeding again, and now my hands were trembling, and it felt like I was trying to hold water in my palms instead of his life.He was a werewolf with unusually fast healing abilities. What was wrong now?
Fated to the Broken Rogue Chapter Seventeen _I liked Damien
Elliot.I could see my breath under the night light, curling and dissipating as I leaned against the tree.The cabin lights were turned on, casting a faint glow from the distance.I'd stormed out of there the moment Damien was knocked out cold. I needed space, a place to gather my thoughts that didn't reek of bleach and housed a smirking Damien.A kiss. That was all it took to heal Damien.It shouldn't matter anymore. It was a lapse in judgement, an attempt to save Damien's life, nothing more.So why was my mund refusing to let it go, replaying that same moment over and over again in excruciating detail?Why could I still feel the warmth, the flush of adrenaline mixed with something unfamiliar in my chest.Even the last kiss I had five years ago hadn't felt like this.From Janice.I could see her blond curls flying in the wind, once a constant presence in my life, until that night...I hadn't felt like this in a long time. I hadn't felt like this ever.A shiver ran through me, and I
Fated to the Broken Rogue Chapter Eighteen_ One step forward
Damien.It was always one step forward with Elliot and two steps backwards.Ahhhhhh.The town was coming to life when I walked into it, the first days of sunlight chasing away the lingering darkness of the town.This wasn't my first time here.I hadn't liked the other times I came, but I needed to put as much distance as I could between myself and the cabin.... Elliot."I would never like someone like you. Not in a million years."I scoffed, kicking a stray can down the street."Stupid," I muttered to myself. "You're an idiot, Damien.""Are we really going to walk away?" My wolf’s voice crept into my thoughts, discontented and raw.The damn creature was always so loud, always so sure he knew what he wanted. He hadn't stopped growling since I'd stepped out, moving in my mind like some trapped beast."This is your fault," I snapped at him. "You're the one who made me come back, thinking someone like him could ever care about us."I felt my wolf snarling, fighting me, like he wanted to t
Fated to the Broken Rogue Chapter Nineteen_ What just happened?
Elliot.The empty cabin felt colder without him here, which annoyed me because I had stayed alone for the last five years. I passed his open room door multiple times than I should have, just to star at the neatly folded blanket on the bed, half-expecting Damien to be under it, sprawled out, and asleepThere was nothing.I ran a hand through my hair, fighting the growing pit of unease in my stomach.Where had he gone?Memories from the last time we talked clung to me. The way he'd looked at me, as if I were something that mattered. Then I opened my mouth and said things I couldn't take back.Things I hadn't meant.And now, he was just... gone.I tried to shake it off, focusing on the article I was to send to Frank later, though the words on the screen blurred as I tapped aimlessly at the keyboard. The piece was for old Mr. Harding’s 70th birthday next week, an easy write-up that should’ve taken an hour at most, but u couldn't string two basic sentences together.My thoughts kept drif
Fated to the Broken Rogue Chapter Twenty_ Elliot - one
Elliot.Damien didn't come back till nighttime.The door creaked open in my quiet cabin, and I knew immediately who it was.I didn't need to look up from my laptop screen to feel the tug towards him, to feel him filling the space. I heard him stop in the doorway, and I felt his eyes on me, watching in that way he did, as though he could see past everything I was trying to hide. I kept typing, ignoring the pounding of my heart, and the tug pulling me to look his way.“What?” I muttered, my fingers hovering over the keys.Damien cleared his throat, and I could feel his hesitation, which only made me angrier. “You left pretty quickly back there,” he said finally.I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "It was only appropriate. You were... occupied."Even without looking back I could tell his jaw was clenched. "She was just an acquaintance."“Sure,” I replied, feigning indifference as I closed my laptop and stood up, unable to stay seated any longer. “None of my business anyway. You don’t have to
