His Rogue Mate Why don't you want to be with me?
Katherine. The tension was thick in the air as the silence lingered. Only the faint sound of breathing filled the air.The urge to scratch at my wrist was overwhelming, but it was hard to consider moving for a moment.More seconds passed, and I felt a tingling sensation at the back of my head.I finally broke out of my frozen state and looked away, yet I could still feel his gaze penetrating mine. ‘Ignore him,' I told myself. Clenching my jaw, I turned away, settling all the discarded jewelry in its place. One by one, I focused on my task as if it was the most important thing on earth.Anything to not face him.“Are you going to ignore me the whole time?”I stiffened at the sound of his voice for a moment, shutting my eyes tightly. I quickly regained my composure before moving again. Every second that passed felt more like torture. I could barely focus on my task anymore, placing jewelry in odd places. Kayla, like the perfectionist she was, would no doubt be livid once she found

Kiara.By the time we were done, I was ready to race out of the place. I did so, eventually, but not before receiving one of Kayla's pack-famous lectures.This time unlike others, she didn't seem as passionate and into it as usual. Perhaps because she noticed that I was so out of it, or perhaps because I was so out of it that I didn't take the full brunt of what she said.Either way, by the time she was done, I ran out like the devil was hot on my heels. Entering my house was the greatest reprieve, only that Mary was there.“Kiara?” She spoke in a hushed tone, her eyes filled with evident worry.Swallowing my pants and attempting to regain my lost composure, I shook my head.“I think I've had enough of Kayla now,” I sputtered out without any hesitation. Inside, I grasped myself.‘Please let her believe me.’ I inwardly prayed, sucking in the guilt that came from lying.Thankfully she did, her face twisting into a sympathetic expression.“That bad, huh?” She asked, moving toward me.A t
Last Updated : 2023-12-15His Rogue Mate Kiara's response.
Kiara.Flashback.“So what do you say?” He asked. Despite his false bravado, I still spotted his fear as he looked at me with a pleading gaze.I had never seen him look this nervous. But it was a given, considering what he said.Pondering over it, there was only one answer.I parted my lips and spoke.“Yes.”….Present.“Are you really bothering over your dress?” He whined.“Yes. Now, hush and focus on the road,” I said.I raised an eyebrow at him, daring him to say anything else. As expected, Felix simply looked away and let me work my magic.Looking at my mirrored reflection, I wiped off the slight excess lipstick at the corner of my lips. There. Picture perfect ready.“Women.” His mutter made me turn to him again, spotting him stiffen as I did.“I just don't understand. You look good already.” The words rushed out of him, no doubt his feeble attempt to save himself.I faked a despondent sigh, turning toward my side of the door and reaching for the handle.“I guess you don't need m

Kariana.Isabella and Leo emerged from the side of the podium, reaching the two other people. Immediately, the place was bathed in an even louder applause, yet I couldn't hear it over my racing heart as I eyed the corner where they came from.‘Was he by chance also going to emerge?' The thought kept me still.Wasn't it more or less bad luck if I met him twice in a row? Even though I now had this new plan, I still needed time to think.“Kiara?” I swiftly turned to meet Felix's gaze. He looked sheepish as he took a step away.“Hate to break it to you, but even I have a level of grip strength I can handle. This tux has even less." He chuckled, raising the arm I'd just released to show the rumples in his tuxedo.I did that, I realised. I hadn't even noticed myself gripping his arm so badly.“Sorry,” I muttered, eyes darting toward the podium to see that there were still only four people there. No green eyed brunette man in sight.Inwardly, I let out a sigh of relief, turning back to Felix
Last Updated : 2023-12-17His Rogue Mate The cafe stranger.
Karina.My presence went unnoticed amongst the crowd that walked past me.Collecting two more glasses of fruity wine, I found my place in the corner of the festivities, sitting on a chair and table whilst looking listlessly at my phone.I was adept at small talk, at asking for information from people. But outright flirting? Hell no.Flitting through my screen, I furrowed my brows.There was no way I could do this properly. I just had to hold on so I didn't get stranded.As I waited for Cafe Stranger's next text, I swiped up to play a game. It was the only alternative to doing absolutely nothing.I couldn't let myself wander. All other worries aside, I didn't want to stray too far from where Felix would meet me.Anytime he actually came, that was.More time passed, and even playing a game felt like too much work. The phone almost slipped out of my hands from how loosely I held it.I wanted to go home, and the pleading croon from Germaine inside me spoke of the same sentiment.I had no

Karina.Returning back to the pack was akin to a rush of fresh air, literally. I embraced the familiar scents around me the moment we entered the pack area, relaxing at the buildings surrounding us.Felix stopped in front of Gino's home, where I had taken Levi to stay in the meantime. Stepping out, I groaned at the slight ache of my heels.“Of freaking course this will happen.” I cursed out, shutting my eyes.I was used to wearing them when it suited me. However, after months of being in maternity and wearing mostly flipflops and sandals, I decided to wear these to fit the occasion, and here I was suffering the consequences.Pain, it seemed, was a universal price to pay for looking good.It was going to lessen soon enough — the wonders of werewolf healing — but not until a few minutes after I took off the shoes.The sound of the car door closing followed by footsteps nearing me made me look up.“You really got yourself in a tizzy, didn't you?” He asked, placing one of my arms to wrap

Karina.The hallway was too quiet, but that was what I needed.Honing my hearing, there was no indication of anyone else nearby. Isabella was likely at her own job—owning and managing her bookshop— whilst Leo was at work. Aside from the faint and muffled noises that no doubt emanated from the kitchen, there was nobody else nearby.It was the perfect setting.I matched his glaring stare with one of my own, trying to ease my racing heart if its trepidation.‘Stay strong.’ Germaine spoke inside me. I took a step forward.“Connor-”“–Is he the reason?”I stopped short, all the circuits in my brain staggering at his words.What?“Wh…what?” I asked out loud, dumbfounded.“Felix. Is he the reason that you don't want to be my mate?” He asked.Surprise struck me, not just at his words and his insinuation. How did he know Felix's name?“I know a lot of people here, thanks to Isabella." He said as a way of reply. I blinked.Had I accidentally said it out loud or had he simply read my mind?Nev

Karina.His gaze was slightly stricken.Hope gleamed in me. Perhaps this was all I needed to do. Maybe now he'd stop trying to reach me.But he didn't say anything for another set of seconds, and slowly my hope turned into worry.I contemplated not moving forward.“Co- you… are you okay?” I asked. His name seemed too powerful to say.He nodded stiltedly before replying, “Yeah. I am.”I breathed out, all the tension and worry deflated like a bubble.“So… we're okay then,” I said tentatively, hoping that he'll agree.But he didn't say a word, or give any gesture. Instead, he turned away for a moment.“Please just answer this question for me.” He said.I nodded. No doubt it would be a question about whether I cared for him. Even if I did care enough to not reject him, it didn't change things.Liking someone wasn't enough, mate or not. I had seen it amongst the humans already, whether it was the gossip of coworkers or strangers or events that happened in my presence.Like wasn't enough. L

His Rogue Mate Saved.
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.
His Rogue Mate mate?
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
His Rogue Mate Lost.
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
