His Rogue Mate You are right.
Karina“You're right.” I conceded, earning her stare.I sighed, stroking the side of my baby I would have never thought that one day I would be a mother, yet less than a year ago everything turned on its head and I learned how to love someone more than my parents.Change came out of nowhere, sometimes as sudden as a spark and others, as gradual as the seasons changing. You didn't knowI smiled slightly. Sam would be so proud if she could hear my thoughts. Turning to face the older woman again, I sensed a twinge of pride in her gaze. Or was it approval.I couldn't feel myself breathing as her green gaze glittered slightly, just like someone else's once did.“I like you already Karina. I think we're going to be good friends.” she spoke lightheartedly, making me blink.Out of anything she could have said, that was the last thing I expected. Beat rose to my cheeks and I looked away.“My son seems to not want to care for you.” With those simple words, something in me sank.I licked my lip

KarinaThe room was bathed in awkward silence. I could barely breathe as I stared helplessly at the empty space where he was supposed to be.Why had he left so abruptly?There was already an answer in my mind, one that told ne that it was my fault. Yet I couldn't decipher why.Was it my presence alone? He had previously called me out of doing the opposite, so why would he be annoyed now?A spark of irritation cut across my confusion. A sigh brought me back to reality. I turned to find his mother staring back at me.“Don't be bothered dear. He must have had a hard time with the elders today.” she said, smiling comfortingly. She looked completely unfazed by her son's sudden attitude.Opposite me, his father nodded.None of their excuses were convincing, but I bit my lip and nodded.It was after the dinner, walking across the hallway that I knew I couldn't let it be.“Excuse me.” I called out to the younger girl as she almost slipped past me, passing an assurring smile to ease the insta

Connor She infuriated me.I tightened my fists to resist the urge to slam something, or maybe even worse, reach out for her.She had easily inserted herself into my mother's life, and would no doubt do the same to my father and I hated it.It wasn't something that should have been blamed on her. They had only recently gotten over the shock of my reveal, only to see her after. I had done my utmost to remind them to understand her, despite the incredibly low chances that my parents were anything less than understanding. It should have been good and yet.Bitterness welled up in my gut like a poison. Seeing her adjusting so easily made me happy, but the dinner was a reminder of the sharp contrast we had.For the half a week I spent chasing her, she had spent pushing me away without telling me the truth. Yet in less than two days she was equally introducing my mother to Levi, the same child she hid from me if not by chance.Karina was right about one thing. I was jealous and angry , but

KarinaWaking up early wasn't hard to do, especially with Levi as my alarm clock of sorts. While my baby was sated for the day, I was on a mission of my own.After last night I was more than eager to do more than staying within the four walls of my room. The reminder of his tone was what set me off.Call it anger or annoyance, but I wasn't going to let him get the last laugh.How dare he be angry at me for interacting with his parents? Such a thought was irrational to me. Most if all, he was the last person I would have thought would do that.‘You're nothing to me.’A knot formed at the base of my throat. I ignored it in lieu of dressing up in more appropriate clothes than pyjamas. None if that mattered now.I took one last look in the mirror, repeating Isabella and Sam's words of trust in my head like a mantra to prepare me for the day. Picking up Levi, we both headed downstairs.I wasn't fully present in time for the breakfast, but on arrival, I only met two figures there.“Connor s
Last Updated : 2024-03-08His Rogue Mate Pleased to meet you.
KarinaIt was one thing to meet a stranger, and another thing altogether for this to eventually lead me back to Connor.I didn't even know what I was thinking by the time I met Ethan, but seeing his spindly form and quiet awkwardness pushed me somewhere inside. Was it the reminder of the kind of person I was? I didn't know.Either way, it wasn't too hard to trust him, but if I knew that following him around would lead me here, perhaps I would have second guessed it.My stomach tightened, but I couldn't keep my eyes off Connor for one moment? Questions raced in my head, the one most of all;Why did I have to see him now?I clenched my jaw, instantly going on the defence as the other man beside him moved forward.“I haven't seen you around. Hey Ethan, where have you been hiding this lady.” He asked as we slowly closed the distance.I had to forcefully tear my gaze away from Connor to face the redheaded man.“Nice to meet you,” he said, about to raise his hand,“Im-”He suddenly broke off

ConnorMy hands tightened into fists. What was wrong with me?The sight of her retreating back was like being doused within the lake during winter. I had no doubt in me that I had inevitably messed up.I wasn't supposed to react that way. Not even when the sight of her with Ethan made me…“Damn it.” I cursed silently, shutting my eyes.The reminder of my harsh words didn't help, but I wasn't going to apologize. Not now Shaking my head, I moved away, back to the incomplete building where Ethan and Ralph still stood, waiting for me.“Something doesn't feel right.” Ralph whistledI turned to find Ethan shuffling slightly on his feet, his stare slightly more shaky. He was the youngest out of us and I could tell he sensed my animosity and was every bit worried. Seeing him in this state held down my animosity.“What happened that you're not telling us Connor?” I turned to find Ralph's face slightly more serious. The shock had worn off and all I could see were questions.I'd kept it from th

ConnorI swallowed thickly. The tone of her voice was too serious for me to avoid this. In other words, I was screwed.Without a word, she pointed to the seat opposite her. I quickly followed and sat down.“Are you going to talk about what happened last night?” she asked,I sucked in a breath immediately, catching her judgemental gaze. She wasn't going to let this go.“Mom, I was in a bad mood last night. I didn't need to take it on you or dad.” I didn't want to deal with this now.“Fine then, then explain to me what happened today.”My breath hitched from disbelief as she leaned in.“Imagine that after we told her to go out, she comes back hours later holding back anger and the first things she said to me was ‘Your son's an idiot.’”Somehow in my twisted imaginations, I could hear Karina saying just that.Except I wasn't happy for too long. Not under the weight of my mother's stare.“You don't understand.” I looked away for a moment.“She-”“I don't care what she did Connor, althoug

KarinaWas I upset? Yes.However, it didn't stop me from moving down to take dinner with them. It took a longer while for me to go while Levi still hadn't gone to sleep, but 30 minutes past the time, I was already there.The dining was silent with only Connor and his mother present. Silence filled the dinner table as we ate and Connor didn't say anything or even look my way.Funny, considering that he had plenty to say that afternoon.I left as soon as I was done.So far, the place didn't seem too bad.I found my way back into the Pack house early in the morning, this time with Levi in my arms. Her caring nature for Levi had me slightly swayed to her side, despite the overall caution I still had but I simply wanted to stay near my baby.Nobody was present. Even Connor hadn't left the place before I did. It was something that I did whenever I was feeling more adventurous during my time travelling; scoping out the place.It helped me get more familiar so I could adapt easier. Although i

Connor‘Alpha? Alpha!”I snapped back to reality to face Fallon who looked at me with a mix of worry and confusion. Rightfully so, considering how I'd just acted. Had I spaced out for that long? I wondered. Shaking my head I gave him a terse smile.“I'm sorry Fallon, but I'll have to talk to you later. Tell the others not to worry, I think I have the solution but I can't give much details yet.” I said, patting his shoulder firmly to affirm myself.He didn't look too pleased or assured despite it all, but I fully understood.“Why don't you guys take a break for today? You can get drinks at Aunt Abby’s place, my treat.” I smiled, encouragingly at him.I could tell how the idea circled his mind temptingly by the way his frowning eased slightly. It was a good idea on both ends to relieve stress and boost morale by a little bit. They had been working hard nonstop since I proposed the project and I had to help them now.Finally he conceded, nodding.“Okay then. I trust you Alpha.” He said.

Chapter 227Elizabeth's POV I woke up later that day and realized that I was in a different room. It was all white and had a window that led out to the hospital courtyard. I got up from my bed and stood by the window looking out at the garden and watched as the wind blew the leaves of the plants gently. I had to admit that the garden was beautiful.As I continued to gaze at the scenery, I heard a knock on the door and I turned around to see who it was. It was Winston."You're awake" he said as he came to stand beside me."Hi" I smiled at him and he smiled back. "Hi""I'm so glad to see you looking much better," he said and I nodded."I'm also glad that the surgery was a success. How is Tiana doing?" I asked and he gave me a genuine smile."She's doing so much better. The doctors say she's progressing very well" he replied and I heaved a sigh of relief."That's good to know. When can I go see her?" I asked eagerly. I was eager to see how she was doing for myself."The doctors say that

Karina.“Hi.” I blinked in surprise as it wasn't only my voice but his. Concern was all over his face as he closed the door behind me. And despite everything that I thought could have gone wrong between us all these while, I still couldn't believe that he would be surprised by everything that was going on. But then again, it was not just him that has been surprised by it all. I also have been.“You seemed strange in the dining room. Did something happen?” he asked. I could read two expressions on his face as he asked the question.One was that of curiosity, the other was that of annoyance. And maybe a hint of worry was etched on the sides of his face despite how obvious he tried to make it appear like it wasn't so.But then again...Oh the irony. I had asked him that same question once before. I shook my head in negative.“Do you want to talk about it?” He asked. It made me huff in response. Small talk, that was what we mostly went for now. I was already getting tired and bored of stu
His Rogue Mate What did you hear?
KarinaI sat up straighter at the mention of ‘connor and scrutiny.Was Connor going through anything?I recalled how stressed he previously looked when he was usually at dinner fresh from working. What were the Elders saying about him? Was he going through any problems?Was it something to do with me?She seemed to recognize my worry as she stood up straighter, frantically shaking my head.“Oh no, please don't think too much about it. It really isn't serious, at least from what I heard.” she quickly corrected.“What did you hear then?” I asked She shrugged looking down at her cup.“This talk was here far before you came, and I would hear people talking about it all the time from the moment he became Alpha.”“Apparently the Elders were complaining about how he hadn't found his mate.”‘Oh.’ I relaxed in my seat, now fully understanding.An alpha usually rises with a Luna. “Is that so?” I raised my eyebrows before taking a sip of the cider drink.“It was strange that he hadn't found hi
His Rogue Mate Don't you try replace me.
KarinaI spent another hour with her before leaving.Emma was kind and compassionate. She was willing to meet me with a smile and a cup of whatever new concoction she had whipped up. She also cared for Alya more than anything. There was nothing wrong with her in any way which made me even more incensed that others had simply decided to ignore her.Shed spoken about it on that same day.“I don't think that theyre doing it fully on ourpose anymore. It feels more like, that's how it is now. My parents are old, but they never reached out even though we aren't so far apart. But aside from that, other treat me relatively normal.”“I think I've also come to embrace the solitude in a way.”‘Thats what happens when your pushed into it.’ I thought to myself. I didn't want to think beyond what was necessary, but at the sane time, it felt like I had no other option other than that to do.By the end of the day after I left with a promise to come back my decision was already firm. In the evening I
His Rogue Mate Fear or eagerness?
Karina The air might as well have been sucked out of the room because the silence was too heavy.The more I waited the more antsy I got and the more uneasy I felt. Her fidgety attitude did nothing to ease my worries.Was this some kind of joke? What motives did she have.“Well,” she cleared her throat blinking frantically fro a moment.“I can't hide it. In all honesty I'm..nervous. and afrair.” she said, lowering herr head slightly.‘Of me.’ the unspoken word hung true.“Bevause I'm a rogue.” I deadpanned, waiting for her reaction, she stiffened before shaking her head, but I stood up already. I was thankful I didn't bring Levi here. Leaving would be easy.Standing up, I headed for the door only for a hand to stop me in place.“Wait, please don't leave just yet.” she cried out.I spun around whipping my hand harshly away from her. The hurt look on her face made guilt bubble up.“You really didn't need to invite me out if obligation. I would have done just fine without.” I said icily.
His Rogue Mate I would love to.
KarinaI laid there in silence. Perhaps it was that exhaustion or the overwhelming events of the day but I didn't know when I fell asleep. I was woken up by Levi's cries in what felt like hours later. The place gleamed a bright orange spelling the evening.I moved to action quickly, patting him and feeding him whilst pacing. It took time to grow fully conscious but after, it was easier to process everything that happened, especially the woman. She had invited me for tea. It was like a fever dream of sorts.After I silently agreed she had given me her directions and told me her name. I listened to it all listlessly, nodding.‘Her name was Emma.’ I noted, nodding to myself.The real question I needed to ask was if I was going. A part of me wanted to reject it, but I didn't want to be rude.Thinking back to the look in her eyes, a part of me resisted. She wouldn't want me to come in the first place.‘Then why would she ask?’ Minutes passed as I patted Levi while he fed from me. There w
His Rogue Mate Dangerous.
My breath hitched as I recognized her. She was hanging on a tree on her own, yet didn't look bothered. About the height.It's dangerous height. How on earth did she even get there?I was moving before I could think, pulling Levi closer while my heart hammered in my chest. Nobody else was in sight. If she hadn't seen her…By the time I reached , she fell and I wanted to scream before Harriet's frame came into view. She'd caught her.Relief instantly flooded me as I came closer. Harriet put her to the ground.“That was dangerous! Where is your mother? Goddess, what if you'd gotten hurt? Goddess.” Harriet was speaking, her voice raised a full octave higher, her hands were threading through her red locks and I could practically feel the panic bleeding from her.The closer I came I could see the young girl clearly. She was staring blankly at Harriet before she caught my gaze. “Miss Karina!” She squealed, quickly recognizing me. Before I could think she ran past Harriet and towards me.As
His Rogue Mate Who is that?
KarinaAfter that, all the tension from earlier seems to seep away. She didn't speak a word for a moment, but peeked at the bundle in my arms several times.A minute or so passed before her voice came.“Is that Alpha Connor's baby?” she asked.I stiffly nodded, “Yeah.”Another pause came, this time lasting for half a minute before she spoke “Can I ask what his name is?”“Levi.” I quickly replied, nodding slightly. She hummed and looked away. My insides clenched. Maybe I wasn't being too forthcoming.“How old are you?” I finally asked, turning to her.Her head turned towards me and she blinked in surprise.“Twenty years old. I just turned two months ago.” She said tentatively though her gaze glittered slightly. She seemed excited that I was asking her questions.I couldn't fully read her. She was wary at first but turned a complete 180 at knowing my identity. She was young and seemed to wear her heart on her sleeve. I couldn't find a hint of ingenuity in her actions.The change I cou
