Alpha Caleb.
As I stare at him, my face flushed, I see nothing but contempt flash in his eyes. Shaking my head to clear the fog, I'm instantly nauseous at my reaction. Of course he's absolutely gorgeous as most alpha's are with his dark blonde hair, green eyes, muscular build, and serious height; but he's also arrogant, rude, and a complete bully. I have no respect for someone who is supposed to be a leader preying on those that are weaker than him.
Instead of backing away, he shoves me off of him and sticks his foot out causing me to faceplant like a starfish in the hallway, while my books go flying across the floor. Rather than give him the satisfaction of getting mad or reacting, I choose to ignore him. But when I try to stand Alpha Caleb's girlfriend, Stephanie comes around the corner in time to kick my hands out from underneath me causing me to face plant again and laughs.
Ugh. That high pitched nasal laugh makes me want to rip my ears off. I have no idea how Caleb puts up with it all the time. She's dressed in a highlighter pink strapless dress that ends at her mid thigh and a red sweater with 5 inch silver heels. Her face is plastered in such thick makeup, I can't help but cringe. She looks like Barbie after a drunken night on the town. Yikes. She's probably over six feet tall, with model legs, long blonde hair, and honey brown eyes. Stephanie could be pretty if she didn't try so hard. Well, that and if she didn't have the personality of a piece of cardboard.
Despite being on the floor I can't stop the words from coming out of my mouth, "Oh hello, Stephanie, have a rough night last night?"
Me and my damn mouth. One day it's really going to get me into some serious trouble.
I want to rage at him. My skin vibrates with the need to hurt him like he is hurting me. I want to spit in his face so badly, I can taste the blood from biting my tongue to prevent myself from doing it. My mother was a warrior, my father a beta, I don't deserve this treatment. I will not kiss his boot or anyone else's.
I am still staring at him, the words on the tip of my tongue when a teacher comes around the corner. Before I can say anything, Alpha Caleb jumps in and tells her that I just tripped walking through the doors and they were helping me pick up my books.
I don't think she believes him but what can she do? He's the alpha's son, he's practically a god here. I can't stop the whimper that passes through my lips as she turns around to go back into her classroom.
My heart drops as the alpha turns towards me again and grabs my chin between his thumb and forefinger harshly, "This isn't over," he spits in my face. As he turns to walk away, Stephanie pours her drink all over my books and starts ripping the pages out. She throws the mess at me and turns on her heels, walking the other direction.
I stare after them in disbelief. I keep reminding myself of the fact I only have a few more days until I graduate, a few more days until I'm free. My brother pulls me up by my elbow, helping me grab my books.
"You really shouldn't provoke them you know," Tobias says. "They wouldv'e left you alone if you had not been so stubborn and just kissed his boot. Why do you always have to cause a scene?"
The feeling of betrayal seeps through my pores, settling into my bones. I think my heart breaks a little bit at his admission.
"You think I'M the one who caused a scene!? You don't think there was anything wrong with his behavior?" I ask in a low voice, I can't believe he's even suggesting this.
"Come on Elena, he's the alpha. He can do whatever he wants, it's best to just stay as far away from him as you can get."
He walks away and all I can do is stare after him. I can't tell if I'm more shocked, angry, or hurt by what he said.

Elena POV I gather what is left of my books and make my way to class. When I get inside, I slam my books on my desk, sit down with my head in my hands, and let out a hough of air. "Woah, what happened to you?" a voice says as I lift my head up. I look up to see my best friend Quinn staring at me with worry. We've been friends since the 1st grade when our current alpha, Alpha Jaxon, adopted her... which makes her Caleb's sister. Despite how close we are though, Quinn and I are total opposites. She's a girly-girl, who loves to shop, dress up, paint her nails, isn't the least bit interested in school, and has been dreaming of her mate since she even knew what dreaming was. Where I like to dress more casual, read books, spend all my free time studying, and have been dreaming about tasting the freedom of running in my wolf form more than meeting a mate. "Nothing I can't handle," I say back to her, not wanting to relive the horror

Elena POV By the time I make it out of the doors of the high school, I see Quinn waiting for me in her car with the windows rolled down singing loudly and very off key to some song by Billie Eilish, which makes me laugh. I slide into the seat of her BMW, thankful that Caleb and his posse weren't in their usual spot outside. "You ready to shop until your feet fall off?" Quinn says raising her eyebrows. I groan, "I thought we were just going to pick out a dress and then come back home? I have an essay I have to submit for one of my scholarship applications and I want to get started on it as soon as possible," I say hoping she lets me off the hook. "Come on, young grasshopper," she responds, "let me teach you my ways! Or at least let me dress you up like my own personal barbie doll. I have been dreaming of the moment you would finally let me do this!" What a weirdo, I think to myself as a smile splits across my face. "Fine,"

Elena POVThe rest of the week passes by in a blur and luckily with alpha ceremony preperations, I don't see much of Alpha Caleb and his band of brats. I giggle to myself at the nickname.I wake up the morning of the alpha ceremony with a splitting headache. I struggle out of bed, my eyes watering from the sunlight pouring through the windows and try to make my way to the kitchen so I can grab some tylenol for my headache. After taking two pills, I go to lay down on the couch until my headache starts to subside and I feel like I can actually function again.The house is empty as usual, and I am going back into the kitchen to make myself some coffee when I hear a knock at the door. Once open, I see Quinn standing there with Starbucks and a huge smile splitting her face with what looks like an army of people behind her. It gives the whole, 'I'll have my people call your people' kind of vibe."Quinn, you do realise the ceremony isn'

Elena POVAfter hours of being shaved, plucked, waxed, pinned, and tucked, hair, and make-up finished, I am finally done. As I look in the mirror, I feel overwhelmed by the person looking back at me yet again. My eyes seem to glow more brown than green under the smokey eyeshadow. My lips are painted with a deeper pink that accentuates my eye shadow and golden skin. My hair is smooth and curled, falling in soft waves down my back. I think my favorite part though is my dress. It's a deep purple color and is made from velvet which pools around my feet like a liquid lake of the purest amethyst with a slit on both sides running up to my hips. When I walk it waterfalls around me in the most beautiful rhythm. It also has a halter neckline which has a cuff around my neck and drops into a low back that rests right above my low back. It hugs my body perfectly and accentuates all my curves."You look like an amazon," Quinn says from behind me.She
King of the Rogues 8 | Mate
Elena POV As we pull up to the venue, I'm overwhelmed with how many people are here. Most of those in attendance are alphas and their betas or families. Usually when a new alpha is initiated, many alphas will come from all over the country to show their support and sign treaties or trade agreements. Once the ceremony is done, all the alphas will meet over the period of a week to discuss the terms of the agreements, peace treaties, and other contracts. It also gives them a reason to have more parties- the more extravagant the better since it shows other packs how well an alpha can provide for their own people. Alpha Caleb has earned a bit of a reputation for being arrogant and prideful. He isn't considerate of other packs and he is only interested in taking for himself. There are rumors that a lot of the alphas are hesitant to sign a treaty or trade agreement with him. I do feel bad for the pack since a lot of their businesses

When he reaches behind himself to lock the door, the hair on the back of my neck stands on end.He growls loud enough to make the stall doors shake, breaking me from my shock and causing me to take a step back, pressing my back into the counter and clutching onto the edge to try and keep myself upright.He takes slow steps towards me, stalking me like prey and reaches out to slowly curl his fingers around my throat, cutting off my air supply. Sparks shoot down my neck where his skin touches mine and my breathing grows shallow. He starts to squeeze tighter before suddenly shoving me against the mirror on the other side of the room, shattering the glass.I crumple to the floor, unable to stand at the sudden movement.

Elena POV I try to yell as I see him lunge, but he covers my mouth with his hand. I bite down hard and flinch when the coppery taste of blood coats my tongue. He grunts in pain, "You bitch!" he screams. I continue to kick and fight hoping someone will hear me but his fist connects with my face and my vision goes a little fuzzy. He hits me two more times, effectively silencing me. I'm trying not to let the darkness pull me under. Trying not to slip from consciousness or stop fighting this monster off of me. As I feel his hand start sliding up the slit in my skirt, bile rises in the back of my throat and I can't stop the terror from sliding over my skin. I hear a rip as his hands continue to move up my dress and he starts biting and sucking on my neck, leaving marks. The length of his desire pressing into my thigh. I feel a rough tug on my hips and hear another rip when the realization dawns on me that he just ripped my underwear of
