Mated to the Rogue Alpha Hiding him away.
Isabella.I stared interchangeably at Connor and Leo after I stepped away from our embrace. It was… Goddess, it was so surprising to see even now.Though I had waited and anticipated at times, I had never imagined what it would be like for him to be here. It was as though two separate parts of my life - one in the city whilst the other in the pack - had merged together. It was foolish to think of that, considering that they were never separate at all, but still.I roved over him again. He was evidently tired, yet he still held himself with a strength that made me feel warm inside.But back to the main topic.I turned to Connor.“Explain," I spoke sternly.I watched as Connor carded his hand through his hair before staring at me with a slight exasperation.“Come on, isn't it enough that I brought your mate here?" Referring to Leo as my mate brought heat through my cheeks. Wasn't it ironic? Only yesterday I had continuously explained and referred to him as my mate, and now I was blushin

Isabella.It took time, with plenty of mental work, but when it was ready, I was sure that nothing would get in our way.We maneuvered through the woods. Its familiar terrain had barely changed, even after more than six years, so it was easy for me to bring Leo through without disturbing anyone in view.From the trail, we moved toward my parents home.Entering silently through the back entrance, I held him back quickly, turning to face him.Even from afar, Treasure's voice could be heard. I saw the longing in his eyes at our son's voice. Cupping his cheeks, I made him face me directly only to feel the wide berth of emotions.Longing.We had been away from each other for so long. I could only swipe my tongue against his cheek in assurance.“Stay here," I whispered to him, moving toward the place. The young woman who was taking care of Treasure was still there as I had expected, and so I couldn't take Leo in without getting her out.So leaving the back entrance, I circled my way into th
Mated to the Rogue Alpha No hope.
Isabella.I moved up the stairs, moving to my room. While my parents were busy down the stairs, I had to check on Leo.The moment I opened the door however, I stopped in my pace. Leo was there, standing above the desk and facing it fondly. My gaze turned to his hand, which rested on a standing toy, one of the trinkets that were usually on my desk.I was so enamored that when he finally locked eyes with me, my belly churned.He smiled before looking back to the desk. “This was your childhood home?” He turned to me with a small smile.Shutting the door, I took a step forward. I nodded with a small smile of my own.“Yes it was, although as you can see, some of the furniture has been updated,” I said, gesturing to the rest of the room.I suspected it had happened after I left years ago. My room was no longer frozen in time with my childhood sheets but replaced with plenty of others. Even my bed had been replaced with a bigger one. I was thankful for the change, a sure sign that my paren

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
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
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 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 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
