Isabella’s POV

"What?!"

It was almost humorous how they both spoke at the same time. Perhaps I would have laughed had they not looked with equal shocked and anxious faces.

Claire I could understand, after all I doubted that she would have been comfortable with me working after she practically helped me all through the pregnancy. I couldn't however understand why Sierra gave me the same face.

Despite our now more cordial relationship, I thought that she wanted me out as soon as possible. I had four months to stay until I was finally on my own, and a week had already passed. I truly did need to get a job so I could fend for myself earlier.

So I waited for them to process the information. A feat which didn't take more than a few seconds before they began to speak.

Claire went first. "Isabella, I don't think you should do it. I wouldn't advise you to." Her use of my full name was enough to know her stance.

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   A new friend.

    Isabella. I quickly shoved myself off him as I realized that the hard surface was rather his chest. Taking a few steps back, I looked at the man who looked amused as he smiled at me.He was a male. A human male, with long blonde hair staring at me."Did I scare you? I'm so sorry." He apologized as his smile falters.I felt something slightly warm in my chest before I moved forward shaking my head."No, I'm the one who needs to apologize," I hurriedly say.He looked amused."I don't blame you, That dog barking out of nowhere would've spooked me too," I nodded, looking at the direction where the woman and her dog were far in the distance. Turning back to him, I watched as his hand came out."I'm Adian." He said.Looking at the hand, I felt cautious but shook it."I'm Isabella."I let go quickly. Before I could say anything, he spoke."So, what's a werewolf doing on this side of the city?"His words made me alert. I snapped towards him."How did you-?"His laugh caught me unaware. When

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   No recognition.

    For the next few days, everything else felt better.The night that I had started over with Sierra was the real turning point in our relationship, as that night I ate dinner with her. I had introduced Treasure to her, which to my surprise made her transform, cooing and besotted at the child. After a while of seeing her uncharacteristic actions, she seemed to notice and apologized, embarrassed.“I’m sorry. I’m fond of children but I don’t know why I feel extra close to him.” She said.I wanted to tell her that she was his aunt, because that was the most valid reason, but the secret of my child was solely with me, and I was not planning on divulging. So I simply nodded with a smile and watched as she fawned over him for a few minutes.The days went on. The next day Sierra went to work early, being the morning shift in the bar. I used my time to walk around the house and help Agathe whenever she came around- despite her attempted disapprovals. In the afternoons when she left, I found mys

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   Another encounter.

    Back in my pack, there was once a man we used to call old doe. We would call him that because that was almost all he spoke of. As children, I, Connell, and Darius along with others, would always go to where he always stayed and ask him for stories. Every time, he conceded.As a little girl, I knew nothing of his personal story. It was not until I was older, long after he passed away that I understood. But as a little girl, every time I visited him more than several times a day, offering gifts or food. Every time he would graciously accept, but there was always a look he always had whenever he met me, no matter if it was once or several times a day.I didn’t understand the slight furrow of brows, the hint of mist as he darted around my features. But as I grew older I did.That was the same look that Leo gave me at the moment. It was one of forgetfulness. It was the look one gave a stranger.I willed myself to remain calm and unshaken.“No.” I breathed out.I couldn’t take it anymore.

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   Isabella’s doing.

    Isabella's POV.“What?” I spoke aloud. I felt surprise and anticipation fill me at her statement. Realizing that I had said the words aloud, my eyes went to Leo, who wasn’t too far away. I was relieved to see that he wasn’t looking at us, or actively ignored us. It didn’t matter either way.I turned back to Sierra whose excited face had turned into a musing one, as though she was contemplating something. I shook her lightly to get her attention.“Sierra, what do you mean?” I said in a lower tone. I waited patiently for what she was going to say next.She instead shook her head and waved me off. “I'll tell you later.” She said.But I couldn’t let it go. Over the short period, I had become more than comfortable with her and I was eager to hear what she had to say. I tugged her lightly.“Please just tell me,” I pleaded.She gave me a warning stare. “Didn’t we agree in one week's time?” she spoke, quirking her eyebrow as she looked at me.Her words made me halt. Sierra sighed as she rele

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   Apologies.

    Waking up the next morning, his face still appeared in my mind. I fisted the sheets as guilt filled me.I wanted to blame him. Hate him. He was the rogue who took my innocence, who left me pregnant with a child and didn’t even bother to remember.So why was I feeling so guilty?And the answer still rang true in me. But I refused to acknowledge anything.With a grunt, I trudged from the bed to move towards treasure. Whether it was due to my tumultuous emotions or the fact that I banged the door, he was near inconsolable for the rest of the night, giving me no time to rest until he fell asleep. Now? He was a happy child again. I sighed as I looked into his eyes which reminded me of the same as the day before. This was my new reality.It didn’t matter, I thought to myself as I carried him into my arms, while Violet rumbled satisfactorily at the move. He was still the boy I had carried for months, the one I birthed and the one I was living for. His changed eyes did not deter that.I took

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   Frustrated.

    Leo's POVWhen Sierra told me about her, I was bothered for the wrong reasons. No doubt, when I was informed that Sierra was in the hospital I panicked, thinking the worst. When I saw her in a good condition and even calm, the relief was insurmountable.But then I caught her scent, one which was mixed with that of a foreign wolf. The scent, no matter how faint, smelt of a pack, and a powerful one.When Sierra talked to me, I could barely think, high off the initial adrenaline from thinking my sister was in danger, to the presence of a foreign wolf which she was asking me to take in.I refused, adamantly before leaving.Her scent was from a powerful pack, and I thought she must have run away for some rebellious petty reason. I couldn’t invite trouble into my pack because of that.It took several days for Sierra to come barging into my office, tears in her eyes as she screamed angrily at me. I was confused at how different her attitude was and regret filled me as I found out. The girl

  • Mated to the Rogue Alpha   The new lead.

    Leo's POV If before the thought of her was difficult to get out of my head, now it was downright impossible. The interaction, if it could even be called such, was repetitive in my head, making me believe that yes, I had met her before.Why else would I look at her to see instant fear? Granted, perhaps I was giving myself too much credit and maybe none of my thoughts were actually a reality, but I couldn't help it as the image of her, however sudden, was stuck in my head.It took two more days for me to cave. Free of urgent work, I was strangely filled with the urge to go back. By the time I got home, the sun had already begun to dawn. It was probably time for dinner, I thought to myself. No doubt Sierra was waiting there and when I came in, she was going to give me a snarky reaction.True to my thoughts, I met Sierra in the dining room. Unlike what I had expected however, she hadn't noticed me the moment I walked in. She looked pensive, waiting for either something or someone. As

  • 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
