Leo.

I shut my eyes tightly until sparks arose from this darkness. Yet, the brief discomfort couldn't rid me of the hollow longing in my heart.

I looked back, quickly adjusting to the file that faced me. It was one of the many documents I had to read, but I couldn't focus anymore. Furthermore did the white of the paper taunt me to think of the much brighter, silvery shade.

I laid my head down onto my hands, the reminder bringing another pang in my heart.

I missed them.

Treasure, who was every bit as smart as he was inquisitive, with a streak for manipulation I knew came thanks to Sierra and his face that was scarily similar to mine. I missed putting him to sleep, coming back to receive his hug.

And Isabella. My mate. I missed her kisses and her scent and her comforting hands. I missed her.

The thought only made me groan into my hands. She had only sent me a message in the morning regarding her and Treasure leaving and since then, there was no other word from her. Rather than taking it

    Isabella.Our reconnection was cut off when only several minutes after, Treasure had woken up, disoriented and confused to see his grandmother there in place of his mother. In the end, we had to cut the discussion short until dinner time when he fell back asleep.Now in my parents' bedroom, my mother looked apologetic.“I'm sorry we didn't tell you.” My mother said. “We thought it was something we could handle. More than that…” “It's okay, dad, mom.” I looked at both of them with the mention before smiling gently.“For now, I'll take on all the gamma duties. I don't care what the pack has to say.”At the mention of the pack, I noticed them stiffen in response, a twinge of… fear?Before I could decipher it, the feeling disappeared. They comforted me before bidding me goodnight.It was Connor that greeted me the next day. I had woken up early, preparing myself for the day ahead and the new berth of responsibilities I was about to take on. Leaving a note for a sleeping Treasure, who wa

    Leo.There was no need for me to travel. The person had come there all by himself.I drove with speed, cutting corners all to reach the destination I had initially settled for.When I finally reached the destination, Gino was outside waiting for me. Together we stepped into the lavish hotel, moving to the room where the person was waiting for us.As we stepped in, the lone dining setting was clear. Surrounded by people I was sure were his men, the man stood at the center, sitting on the chair facing us whilst surrounded by food.“Long time no see. I see that you've made something of yourself over the past few years.” The man said.My eyes narrowed as I recognized who the man was.His plump body, now even far fatter than before, weighed onto a chair. It was Mr. Donovan, the same man whom I had tried to partner with years ago.I sat down whilst Gino stood beside me. He had no doubt anticipated my coming. The question of why he had decided to confront me remained a mystery.I didn't both

    Isabella.My nerves crawled through me like worms as I stared at the face of a man who I once cared for. The man whom I once liked, one of my best friends as a child and was now the one person I loathed with all my heart. His face and frame were as broad as ever. His hair though, had become longer, swiping across his face in a look that I could only describe as 'greasy'. The only notable difference to his appearance though was his face. What was once smooth now held a set of scars, striping across his forehead to his cheekbones. I clearly remembered how that felt, the sensation of warm blood on my hands as panic and adrenaline tore into me.The eye I had slashed across was now a pale gray, though I couldn't be sure if he was blind or not.Though the fear that came with his actions were gone, the disgust and pure hatred remained intact and was now bursting through me with every growl Violet made inside me.He tilted his head at me, the smug smile he bore. “Well, aren't you going to s

    Isabella.Pausing, I smiled at Treasure. Leaning toward him, I gave a mischievous smile, knowing that the news would get him excited.“It's your father," I said, watching the light spark in his eyes as excitement poured out from him.“Daddy!" He squealed. His joy after only being separated from him for two days made me ache.I had to shush him so my parents couldn't overhear his words before answering the phone call, Treasure waiting patiently.“Hello?” The other side crackled for several seconds, which was something I had expected. Finally after half a minute passed, I heard his voice.“Isabella?" He said, his voice coming out crackled.“Hello, Leo,” I replied, my heart warmed at hearing his voice, no matter how worn it was.For a moment, there was silence before his voice came out, clearer than before.“Hi." He said. A grown suddenly replaced my happiness as I noticed how worn he sounded.My mind instantly went to the feeling I had earlier that day.“Leo, are you okay?" Without any

    Isabella.I sighed as I relaxed my shoulders, slumping on the chair.“Are you okay?” I turned to lock eyes with Ethan. He seemed worried as he looked at me.Letting out a sigh, I shook my head. “Yeah. I'm good," I said. In a familiar motion I vaguely recalled my father used to do, I brought my index and thumb to the bridge of my nose in-between my eyes, pressing it together. Though it didn't make much of a difference, I found myself relaxing a bit more at the gesture.When I looked up, his expression was contemplative. Confusion came through me.“What?" I asked. He flinched slightly in response, and I instantly felt apologetic at what could have easily been seen as harsh.“Nothing.” He stuttered, before standing straighter “It's… It's just… you've been working so hard since you arrived. It's only been five days, and yet you've completed so much.” He said.In cue of his words, I looked around. The office was once piled with tons upon tons of work before. Even with my father, Ethan, an

    Isabella.“Are you sure that you're okay?” Sierra's panicked voice came through on the other side.Sighing, I repeated the same words I had said for the past three times. “I'm fine. I didn't get injured at all. Aside from exhaustion, I'm completely well," I said.Thank the goddess for that.I shut my eyes as I swallowed, recalling the briefing of the event Connor had told me.Thankfully, there were no casualties aside from a few injuries which were taken care of. All the other pack members managed to escape, including the girl I had saved, to my relief.Two of the rogue wolves were killed whilst the rest fled and escaped, including the one I was battling.In spite of my fighting, when they began to retreat, I couldn't chase after them. There were other things to do like ensure their safety.I could still recall the incredulous look the pack members gave me as they eyed me sweaty and stained with blood like the rest of them. There was no disdain like I had spied before, merely shock.

    Isabella.Silence reigned for seconds on end. I held my breath, waiting for an answer.“If that is the case…" Sierra drawled, trailing off. When she spoke again, her voice was grave.“Then something is really wrong." I caught myself before she could say anymore. “Maybe we should stop talking about this." I rushed out. “I haven't even seen her, so it'll be wrong to make such assumptions."Another bout of silence came before Sierra sighed through the line.“You're right." She sounded more worn this time, like simply the mentioning of that woman had already drained her of all her energy.“Let's talk about something-"Before she could finish, she suddenly cut herself off. Another whining sound came like a yawn. I waited till she was done, to speak. “You're tired.”She giggled in response, her voice gaining a much lighter tone that eased me. “Kind of. It's been an exhausting day." She said.I nodded to myself.“I guess it's time we say goodnight then,” I said.“Wait.” Before I could e

    Isabella.It was a svelte woman, one who looked slightly older than me.I remembered what Sierra had said last night. Even though we had decided to no longer talk about it, she still felt it important enough to say.“And before you go, there's something else." She sighed on the other side, and I could only wait for her to finish.“Times may have changed but I remember. Lucy? The one I knew? She had green eyes along with her dyed platinum blonde hair. I know it may just be a coincidence, but just in case. Just in case..."There was no doubt in my mind. This woman had to be the same Lucy as before.My eyes moved to her dress, so dark under the lights it may have been mistaken for black whilst it was actually navy blue. The dress hugged her frame almost indecently. but something was so suspiciously strange about it.I looked down as I realized exactly why. My dress, barely a shade lighter than hers.I looked up at the woman leaning into him, roving her frame again.Though her face was va

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   Epilogue.

    Isabella.Treasure played freely amongst other children. The happiness in his eyes made me smile from the window I watched him in.He had taken to them very well, free to reveal his claws at any time, compared to before.After what felt like minutes of watching, I settled back down onto the couch, filled with stacked books I was hoing to remove for the day.I settled into the dark couch where even before I left, it gave comfort. Now I needed that more than ever.It felt like before, yet everything was so different. Now Sierra came occasionally, no longer a resident of the pack yet still belonging to it. She had all the grace of a Luna. It was something I had known for a long time, yet pleased to see nonetheless - nevermind that I still beat her whenever it came to sparring.The biggest difference, however, was me.I had once come here as a guest, hiding myself away from the pack and not wanting to get attached. Now I was here as Leo's mate and the first and new Luna of the rogue pack.

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   Let’s go home.

    Leo.I looked at Isabella who bore a stricken look. The disbelief in her was the same one I faced.This was the first time I had physically seen the person right in front of me, and as I looked at him, an open scar on his face with his hair in disarray and his eyes crazed, I knew what my answer would be.Turning to Isabella, I conveyed all I needed to, squeezing her hand lightly. She seemed to understand as she nodded. I let her go, walking toward the man who looked more pathetic as his hopeful eyes looked up at me.“I have no need to fight you, Darius, because there's nothing to fight with you about."I saw his expression morph into a frown and anger light up in his eyes in response, but I wasn't done.“Isabella is not a bargaining chip, nor an object to fight over or own. I doubt that you will understand that as you are now, but it's the truth. Scum like you deserve a terrible fate, and though I'm glad that Isabella is by my side now, I wished she didn't have to face someone like yo

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   The challenge.

    Isabella.A chill went through me at the news. Looking at the rest of them filled with shock and plenty of questions, there was nothing we could do but wonder.How did they figure it out already? Was this part of their plan from the start? I saw a mix of emotions, none of them positive on everyone's face. It was only a light squeeze that made me turn to him.Leo's startlingly blue eyes couldn't cool down my tension, but it eased it a bit.And for a moment, knowing everything else, I only let one thought reverberate through my mind.Everything will be alright.…..Throughout the next few days, we had mobilized everybody possible.They had announced to the pack and the council of elders everything that had taken place, never leaving a single detail out. The pack was in an uproar, yet in a discussion of our allies, they felt mixed emotions.I looked around at the people around me. People who had once judged me in favor of the person who was now the biggest threat to the pack.When I sp

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   Darius and Lucy escaped.

    Isabella.Together we left for the Alpha's quarters, only to see my parents.Surprise filled me as they also stood up.“What are you two doing here?” My mother demanded, eyeing both of us.“Please," Isabella pleaded.I stayed as she explained every word that she heard in the forest, and I could see every single one of their faces turned grave.“Isabella, are you sure that that was everything you heard?"I wanted to nod, but held back. There was still one thing I was holding back.“When they spoke, Lucy said that he needed her. Not just because of the rogues, but…”I knew that this was sure to hurt, no matter how much I steeled myself to say it was Leo's light squeeze that made me shut my eyes and finally let go.“Because she knew the truth behind his father's death."A shattering sound.“Melissa!”I whipped my head in surprise as I saw that Darius's mother was suddenly laying on the floor unconscious. The implications of my words were clear to everyone.I could only keep still, watch

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   Discovering the truth.

    Leo.The moment she had frozen, I already sensed something was wrong.Two people, whom from the look on her face, she recognized were speaking.Closing my eyes, I heightened my senses to hear what they were saying.The first voice was a rough one that undoubtedly belonged to a man whilst the other was a woman.“You said that it'll work, but they haven't made any moves since.” Said the male one.“I mobilized all these rogues and I promised them domination. Do you think that it was easy?”Rogues? The mention of them.“Or better yet, do you think calming them down was? After they'd lost two people to your damned pack, you should be lucky that they haven't turned on you."“Shut the hell up.” The male voice spat out.“You can't get rid of me. Not when I'm the only one who knows the real secret behind your father's death. Not while you need me to appease the rogues while you mess up and no nothing. Not while I look like your dear–” The woman spat out.“–Shut up!” The words were so loud I wa

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   Our home.

    Isabella.The next morning was far from normal. The only way it could have been described was cold.Neither of my parents were speaking to me, not even as I prepared breakfast earlier in the morning as an appeasement. They avoided my gaze as much as they could, never speaking a word.It hurt, the silent waves of disappointment that ebbed out of them. I braced through it however.Even little Treasure had noticed it.“Where's daddy?” He whispered to me. I noticed that my parents had stopped eating, either hearing or rightly assuming Treasure words.I attempted to smile at him. “He's not here, but we can visit him if you'd like,” I spoke invitingly.Before Treasure could say a word, I heard my mother's voice for the first time that morning.“Treasure dear, why don't you follow us to the pack gardens? There are plenty of beautiful animals there.”I stiffened at her passive aggressive nature. Yet when I looked at Treasure's imploring eyes which silently asked me for what to do, I gave a sl

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   Welcome to the pack.

    Leo.The pain Isabella bore on her face made me want to hold her, yet those doubts and fears I thought I had rid myself of stopped me short, leaving me helpless and hollow.The night was silent and cold. Peaceful. It was a complete contrast to the violence that had occurred in what should have been less than 20 minutes ago.The pain from the hands that choked me still ached every time I swallowed, yet I kept silent.I almost flinched when I felt the brush of a hand, only to relax as there was only one person who could do that. I let her wrap her hand around mine, sighing at the guilty pleasure of her touch.When I turned to look at her again, all the warmth I gained drained away.Her eyes glistened with tears even as she stared stonily at the distance. She was devastated. From her parents' reaction to the way it all came crashing down.I vaguely realized that she was trying to do that. Comfort me. In turn, I held her closer, hoping that she gained a bit of warmth as well.When Connor

    Isabella.My blood ran cold, yet I kept a smile as I turned to Treasure.“Treasure, I think it's time you went to bed," I said.He looked at me for a moment before nodding.“Okay, mommy. Goodnight.” He turned to Leo and oblivious to the tension in the air, told Leo. “Goodnight, daddy.” I heard the slight suck of breath from one of my parents, but I focused solely on my son, nudging him forward.“Go on then," I said, as he yawned before moving up the stairs.I watched him carefully until I was sure that he was out of sight and earshot. The sound of his guest room door shutting made me let out a breath of relief.I shouldn't have let my guard down.It happened instantly. One minute, we were all sitting on the table and in a flash, a person pinned Leo to the wall.“Dad!” I called out, panic filling me as I stood up, speeding across the room.My father was on his full feet, his hands wrapped around Leo's neck. Goddess! He was choking him!Leo remained still. Whether he was still in shock
