Adrian’s POVI walk closer to her tentatively, my eyes stinging against my will at the brutal sight of her back. It was monstrous, what was done to her, to say the least.Her right cheek was resting against the pillow. Her face looked so tired with dark circles under her eyes and a trace of an almost fading, light pink bruise on her left cheek, like she was punched or slapped a while ago.She can’t be more than eighteen, I was certain of that.How the hell did she get involved with the rogues at such a young age?Most of the rogues are way older when they join, and most of them are men rather than women.I can’t imagine what kinds of things she did to earn her place among them. A little girl her age should be full of innocence and kindness, it was hard to imagine that she was newly recruited because she looked like she’s been with them for a long time judging by her unwavering rudeness and lack of respect nor fear when she addressed me.What the hell am I getting myself into with this
Adrian’s POVHe proceeded to tell me how the alpha made her an offer to become his chosen mate and how her wolf took control of her and was on the verge of tearing his head off if she wasn’t bound with silver.“There is something on his mind, an ulterior motive that has nothing to do with suppressing her humanity or taking advantage of her body” said Alec fiercely.My wolf was rattling in my head, roaring with rage about how close she came to being mated to someone else.I barely held my growl; or his growl, from escaping through my lips.“Did she seem to consider it? The girl, not her wolf” I asked tightly.He gave me a small smile and said confidently “She wanted no part of it, believe me. She tried to convince him to give her some time to get her wolf on board and buy enough time for you to come, but I could tell she was scared as hell because she knew she could never say no to him if you didn’t come through”“If he’s not aware of her alpha blood, what else does he need her for as
Adrian’s POV“Before we proceed with the ceremony. There is something else I need to tell you about. During the battle, I found my mate” I said firmly.Alec gave me a worried look, fearing what I’m going to say next.The pack members looked happy for me. Happy that I finally found my Luna and theirs. The pack is always stronger, more united when it has both the Alpha and the Luna living with them. I’m not sure that happiness is going to continue once I say what’s next.“She is the one who sent me Alec’s location and helped save his life. Without her, we would have never been able to find him… alive, nor take out the rest of the rogues. She made a deal with Alec in exchange for her freedom and immunity from getting killed…. She’s one of the rogues from the Victor pack”Silence barely lasted for five seconds after I finished my last word before chaos erupted. People started talking with each other in rage and fear mixed together.I raised my voice and tried my best to have control over
Rhea’s POVI can tell I’m dreaming and that this isn’t real, but what I’m feeling is anything but imaginary.The fear, the hate, the disgust, it’s pouring out of me like a flood. And there is also the physical feeling of being restrained against my will. It felt very very real.My hands were tied above my head with silver. I can feel the sharp stings it was leaving on my wrists. I was pinned on the forest ground while Stefan was stroking his filthy cock in his filthy hands while he was looking at me with a crazy lust in his pale blue eyes.I knew it was a dream because I know deep down that I went through the real thing already. I remember it. I know Stefan won’t get a chance to shove that dirty thing anywhere inside me because he was going to be divided into two pieces in a few seconds.But what made me know for sure that this was a nightmare rather than a memory was when I blinked and Stefan transformed into alpha Victor.He was gazing down at me evilly. His mouth had that devilish
Rhea’s POVI was half expecting him to either lunge at me or throw me out after what I said.Surprisingly, he did neither.He stared at me detestably and shook his head slowly, like I’m a cockroach he can’t wait to stomp on.“Just like I expected. Once a rogue always a rogue” he said in disappointment.His words slashed through my heart but I ignored the feeling and said menacingly “Then let me leave and find someone else suitable enough for you”“Where do you want to go? Back to your old alpha?” he asked curiously.My heart skipped a beat as I stared at him with dread “He’s still alive?”“Yes, he and his warlock were the only survivors” he said firmly.I felt the blood drain from my face at that unfortunate piece of news. Alpha victor definitely knows that I was the one that betrayed him.As if reading my thoughts, “Yeah, he probably wants your head now. I had my warlock place an anti tracking spell on you to keep you hidden from him, but if you leave this territory, the spell will
Rhea’s POVHe raises his eyebrows at me, like I’m in no position to make demands at all. Which was true but I wasn’t going to point that out.I was almost positive he wouldn’t agree to listen or acknowledge my conditions but he surprises me by saying gently “Let’s hear them first then I will decide if I will allow them or not”I rolled my eyes at him.“Well first and most importantly, I will not have you belittle or insult me. I’m not your slave, I’m your equal. If you want me to try and have respect for you in both my words and my actions, you won’t refer to me as savage or rogue. I have a name and you will address me with it during this dreadful period” I said intensely.A small almost faint smile crosses his lips while his eyes crinkle in amusement before he adjusts his look and says firmly “Okay… Rhea. As long as there is mutual respect between us, there will be no problems regarding that matter”The second he says my name, My stupid heart reacts by fluttering against my chest and
Adrian’s POVMy wolf growled angrily when he saw how unnecessarily deep she made the cut on the palm of her hand, followed by a whimper from him as we both registered a slight degree of her pain in our chest. Since the bond wasn’t fully established without a mark, I could make out a faint part of her emotions.That’s how I could tell that she was angry at me when I kept calling her a rogue, in addition to trapping her in a corner with my deal instead of letting her leave.I have to admit; even if to myself only, as annoying as she is with her attitude, indifference, and disrespect for me, she still sparked a flicker of amusement in me.To a rogue like her who grew up experiencing nothing about the great quality of life that a normal pack has to offer, she wasn’t attracted to it whatsoever. She didn’t care about the title I was offering her, nor about the great improvements that would come with it. There was safety, a place to call home, food, power, title, wealth…. All those things co
Rhea’s POVI sigh contentedly as my eyes sweep over the vast bathroom.It was way more white and clean than anything I’ve ever laid eyes on before and I found that very comforting to me. White floor, white walls, white sink, white tub, and white actual toilet; which was like a grand prize for me. I was so over that dirty disgusting way of living that I had before. Where I had to pee in some ditch, barely clean myself once a week in a shallow river if we even found one in the depth of the different forests we stayed in, sleep on the same thin rug which does nothing to ease the hardness of the forest ground underneath it, wear ratty, old, smelly clothes until they couldn’t be worn anymore or wear a shoes that hurts my feet almost all the time because it was already worn out too much, only get to eat raw meat from the animals my wolf could hunt or chew on the green stuff I find around the forest when I get too nauseous from getting my source of food directly through my wolf. I’m so done
First thank you and first acknowledgement always goes to you readers. Another book comes to an end and you are the sole reason that keeps me writing more. Your encouragement is my fuel to keep coming up with new stories to tell and write about. I hope this one won a favorite place in your hearts like the other ones. I always write with my whole being and put myself in the characters’ heads, feeling all their feelings and experiencing everything with them. I hope you were able to relate to both of them throughout the story. Please keep giving me your thoughts and comments because other than writing books, reading how you think about them is the next best thing in my daily life. Alec will get his own book and his own POV, but his story will have to wait until I am fully done developing it in my head. My next book is going to be a CEO genre, if I can get it approved by my editor. If you read my other book ‘On The Border’, then you have a slight idea about my male lead; Jacob Snow,
The Moon Goddess’s POVI smile to myself in tenderness as I stare at my two beautiful children sharing such a romantic and heart melting moment together.Rhea was sitting in Adrian’s lap; both of them preferred this seating arrangement a lot more than the normal one where she sits on his right hand, she was enjoying having dinner from her mate’s hand.They were having their own private celebratory dinner after they won the battle a few hours ago. A victory I’m most definitely proud having witnessed it.I don’t usually watch every single battle my children go through, but this was a very important battle that I needed to see with my own eyes. It was important for more than one reason.First, I wanted to witness Victor’s death with satisfaction. He more than deserved to die and it was way past his due time.The things he’s made my delicate little girl go through made even me sick with revulsion.My poor child truly shook my heart with the way she suffered at his and his pack’s hands al
Adrian’s POVI took off after her, not planning on letting her get away from me. Even if I’m not allowed to kill her, I won’t let her escape for whatever reason my brother wanted her to keep breathing. Maybe he was just as curious as I was to know what the hell happened back there. Or maybe he wanted to kill her himself.At the edge of the territory, she had her supernatural powers back of course and she took advantage of that as she pushed herself harder to run away, knowing I was in hot pursuit behind her.The portal appeared in front of me as she was running towards it, I pushed myself to sprint faster and catch up with her.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw other rogues go through the portal, running away from the losing battle and saving their skins before they meet their downfalls too.I was this close to catching her, I extended my arm, trying to catch her long, straight, light brown hair which was blowing behind her.She gained more speed at the last second and I missed her b
Adrian’s POVAlec’s scream of agony got embedded into my soul.It took us five seconds to snap out of our paralyzing terror, both Lennox and I. Five seconds where dread was coursing through me at the thought of losing my brother forever. I could never recover if that happened. Alec was more than a brother, he was like my other half. He was the only family I had left, the closest one.I shifted my eyes on the girl that made my heart hurt with so much agony. She couldn’t be more than eighteen, maybe even younger. But the look on her face is what baffled me the most. It was filled with venom and direct hate towards Alec. As if this wasn’t about winning a battle on behalf of her rogue alpha, this was personal. She was targeting him specifically. Like she knew exactly who he was even though Alec never spoke before the battle began.When one of the two men surrounding him moved to kick Alec in the face making him drop on his back; making sure the stick that was halfway embedded through his
Adrian’s POVA very menacing growl escaped past alpha Victor’s lips as he bared his teeth at us with so much anger in his eyes, it could light the whole town on fire if it could.I enjoyed the hell out of his reaction and went in to add insult to injury as I spoke harshly “I also know exactly why you took her in when she was just a baby. You wanted her skill. But now, you can’t have it because it got passed on to me and my pack. Rhea gave it to us openly and generously, because despite the cruelty she faced in your pack her entire life, she still has a heart of gold and a pure soul still capable of love. That’s something you can never begin to understand. So I will talk to you in the only language you do understand. I am going to make you pay for every second of pain you made my mate go through, alpha Victor, I will make you experience every bit of it before I rip you to shreds for hurting her in the past fourteen years”He just gave me a cold, evil smile as he said in a condescending
Adrian’s POVEverything was ready.This is going to be the night we rid the world of the most evil rogue alpha in the region along with many of his evil, vile followers.It was such an impactful moment in our pack history that will set the pace for the next generation to come after us.All of my fighters plus Alec’s were standing behind me and Rhea, prepared for the moment the rogues will portal through to end this darkness once and for all.Our training was over, this was the real deal now. This was the real and most important fight we will ever go through and every single person was prepared and ready for it. They were prepared to fight with honor, they were ready to kill and not be killed.We were standing at the edge of my territory, silent and waiting.Rhea held my hand and squeezed it tightly, causing me to look over at her.She was gazing at me with a mixture of nervousness and determination.I squeezed her hand back and told her firmly “We will win”She nodded her head once ti
Rhea’s POV“Yes” my answer was instant, confident, and I gave him more proof by opening my legs to him, giving him direct access to do it.“Nah, I don’t think you are yet. I think we need to bring back some of that moaning and begging that will have you leaking out so hard, that way I can get inside a lot easier and less painfully” he said tauntingly.I groaned in a soft voice. I both loved and hated it when he played with me to intensify my releases, I mean I like the end result but I hate the process because it’s always overwhelming and sweetly torturous to endure.He kissed my lips passionately, making me lean into him to deepen the kiss more. Our tongues fought for access until they were satisfied before he moved down to my mark, licking and sucking it fervently making me writhe under him with renewed pleasure.My nipples came next and when he was done with them, I was left a heaping mess of arousal and desire.Just when I thought he was done, his mouth claimed back my left nipple
Rhea’s POVHe smiled at me warmly but asked carefully “I know you loved it. That’s the only reason I kept going. But despite that, I still want to make sure of something. Did I hurt you in a way that made you remember what happened to you in the past? Please be honest with me”“Not for a single moment, Adrian. Never. I truly loved the power you exerted on me, it turned me on very much, and I’m pretty sure you saw the evidence of that” I said a little shyly.“So you’re saying we can do this every now and then?” he asked curiously with a hint of desire shining in his eyes.I could see how much he really enjoyed that experience with me, how much he loved me submitting myself fully to him, and how much he enjoyed making me come on his own terms.But I could also tell he would never do something I’m not comfortable with even if he himself liked it, and for that, My love for him surged inside me harder at that moment.“Oh yeah, I think even your pain is addicting to me, alpha” I said playfu
Rhea’s POV“No what? You seem to forget my rules very easily, Rhea” he said slowly as his hand rubbed gently on the spot he just hit harshly, slowly easing my pain away with his soft touch.While the blow to my ass cheek made me feel pain, I couldn’t deny that it also gave me pleasure in a weird, complicated sort of way.“I’m sorry alpha, I will not forget them again” I said in a small voice, trying to regulate my suddenly rapid breathing, and sort out through my confusing emotions.“That’s exactly what I want you to think about while I help you learn your lesson through this punishment. Now, I want you to count out loud every time I spank you, and I don’t want you to slip up and miss a certain number or I will have to start all over again from the beginning. Can you do that?” he said firmly while he continued to seductively run his hands over my ass, making my core tighten and tingle in response to his erotic touches.“Yes, alpha”I screamed out again when he unexpectedly hit me on m
