ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 23
I have tried, and failed, not to think about the night we kissed. I could still feel his lips on mine, the tingling sensation when his hands caressed my body.I shivered a bit watching his back move as he turned the corner. I shook my head, this was not the time to be imagining things like this.He turned back to me, as if hearing my inner thoughts, shot me a pointed look and shook his head teasing me.I felt blood rush to my face. Oh my Goddess he knew, he had to. Why else would he look at me like that?“Come inside” he said, gesturing towards the door of his office.I stepped inside the room and was met with the same men that had come to the old safe house we were in. Mason and his men.“You remember Mason?” He asked, leading me to a chair beside him.I nodded my head and waved to him in greeting and he nodded back at me.“Him and his men succeeded in extracting most of our pack members that were still held captives which included Riley” he said.“Thank you. I'm eternally grateful”
ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 24
We spent the majority of our time together talking, Riley and I, we missed each other's company so much.Riley will not stop teasing me and it was evident I didn't really have a problem with it.Aside from the fact that I was as red as a tomato because of Riley and her lack of a filter, it feels pretty good to just be with my best friend.“So…give me the deets. What has been going on with you two alone in this big house” she asked inquisitively.I just shrugged and looked away from her for a moment.“We've really just been surviving. Nothing special” I said looking down at my nails.“Anddd by nothing special you mean….?” She said waving her hands in a go-on gesture.“I mean, he takes care of me, you know,” I said, sighing heavily.“Okay you're really giving me the turnabout here” she said, throwing her hands up in surrender.I laughed at her incredulous expression. She was so easy to read sometimes.“Seriously, there's nothing else to it. We just tolerate each other and by the way we
ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 25
Riley kept squealing and doing different tricks in the water. It genuinely looked like she was having the time of her life and I was like a proud mother hen for it.I remembered seeing a lake the last time I wandered off on one of those days when my head was everywhere.So my brain let off a light bulb when I thought about what we could do for fun. I also did it to cheer Ri up.I know she deserves to smile. She deserves every bit of happiness I can provide for her.I made my way through the water floating backwards and listening to her screams. It was a perfect day and I was well rested.“You know, I really believed you were bringing me here to execute me” she said chuckling.She swam close to me, watching me float on my back, smiling.“You've always had a creative imagination. But why would I want to ‘execute’ you like you say?” I asked teasingly.“Oh, you know. Revenge for all the things I did to you growing up. All the pranks I pulled on you” she said hysterically.I doubled over i
ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 26
I ran out of my room and into the kitchen as fast as I could. My heart was beating as fast as a drum but I didn't mind.Already, I had played out different scenarios about what could've possibly caused the crash when I got to the kitchen and I saw Christian standing there with blood dripping from his hands and broken glass at his feet.“Oh– are– are you okay?” I said, rushing to his side in a panic.I picked a cloth immediately and ran it under the water for a while and brought it to his hand.“Here” I took his wounded hand and started cleaning the blood from it.He groaned in pain and just seemed to close his eyes for a few seconds and when he opened it he was just staring at me.“What happened to you?” I asked him tentatively.He sighed and ran his free hand through his hair. By the looks of it he seemed to be doing that a lot, his hair was messed up.“I came to get a glass and guess I was just tired so it slipped and broke. I tried to pick it up and…” he said, gesturing to the bloo
ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 27
I had been avoiding Christian for the whole morning. I hadn't left my room and didn't even want to face Riley.She could see right through me and I obviously wasn't ready for that kind of exposure right away.I wasn't really angry anymore and my annoyance was that a part of me wanted, like really really wanted, him to mark me yesterday.But it was wrong on so many levels. One being he had a werewolf mate out there that would one day want his mark on her and vice versa.And second, my mate was out there too. Doing whatever I don't know where but eventually we'll be together, I suppose.“Argh” I said frustrated. I was currently lying on my bed counting the ceilings.I was particularly starving, but leaving this room meant facing everyone and I wasn't really looking forward to doing that.At some point in time I told myself I didn't really need food, I could survive on air and water for the rest of the year and I wouldn't die.Okay, who am I kidding, my hunger has recently worn over my s
ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 28
“Ahhhhh”That was the sound of me attacking my best friend so that she would not embarrass more than she already had.“Celeste get off of me!” She said trying and succeeding to get me off her body.“I will if you would just stop walking towards the door and come with me” I hissed sharply.I dusted the non-existent stint from her clothes and proceeded to ignore me and continue her walk towards his office.“Why are you doing this??” I exclaimed, frustrated and out of breath.“You're keeping things from me and truthfully it sucks. But I will get answers even if it means I'll have to find them from someone else” she gestured towards the door we were currently headed to.“No– you– just stop, okay I told you I was being honest” I said, panicking at this point.Curse my small legs, I couldn't keep up with her as she was walking really fast at this point.“No no, I believe you. I just need extra information from the last person that saw you yesterday” she pointedly.Okay she was just pushing
ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 29
I was trying my possible best to not laugh at Riley's reaction. I mean she basically bugged me to tell her the reason and when I did, this was her reaction?She was currently looking at me like I had grown two heads, and I was curious to see if her eyes would stay in their sockets after all.She was shocked and so was I. But I had had enough time to process everything and honestly I had everything under wraps.The same could not be said for Riley, but I was glad. Oh I was feeling exulted. I had gotten everything off my chest, well not everything but she didn't have to know that.For the most part she knew all the details and now I could probably wrap my head around the whole thing.“How–are you sure he wanted to mark you?” She whispered fearfully.I nodded frantically and sat down next to her sighing heavily.“I cannot believe it” she said, with a far away look on her face.“Yeah, I felt his teeth grazing me over and over again like he was tasting me first, you know?” I said enthusias
ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 30
We jumped apart at the sound of the knock at the door.I coughed into my elbow and she awkwardly went to the door.Reluctantly, she opened the door to answer whoever was there.With surprise on her face, she stepped to let the person in.Lo and behold, it was the same person we had been talking about that stepped into the room.Immediately I saw him I froze up like a deer caught in headlights.What was he doing in my room at this very moment? Wait! Has he been standing at the other side of the door listening in to our conversations all this time?Oh my days! I was as red as a cherry right now. This is so embarrassing. Okay, the best thing I could do for both of us was to pretend like I don't know what he's talking about.If he brings it up, I hope he doesn't bring it up.“Um, hi– hello. How can I–we help you?” I asked, behind him I saw Riley facepalming at my obvious discomfort.Yeah I was sweating buckets and I didn't know how to make it stop.“I just came to check up on you. So how

ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 36
I looked at Riley in surprise, things had started to get scary in familiar territory and I wasn't feeling really safe anymore.I remembered what Riley told me just this morning about the weird things going on in the pack.“We just want to see Alpha Christian, there's no need to throw names at her,” Riley said to the guard.She was very irritated at the behavior but was restraining herself, so was I to be very honest.A lot had changed since we had gotten captured by Derek and his men. The time away had caused the pack’s mentality to change.Most of them at least, I hoped that a few still had their common sense amongst them.“This is absurd. I'm a proud member of this pack!” I exclaimed in defiance when he stubbornly stood in our way.He scoffed, “You're really testing my patience right now, do as I say and turn around before I do something nasty” he growled.I flinched back in disgust, his face had turned ugly. Any single ounce of patience I had left evaporated at the sight of it.“We

“What?” I all but yelled at her. Several people turned to look at me with judgement on their faces but I didn't really care.Riley tried to shush me but I wasn't having it right now.“Please tell me you're joking” I said pleadingly.Even as I said it, I knew it wasn't a joke. This was really happening before my very eyes.“I'm not joking. I don't know what the reason is but he refused to tell anyone you're his mate” she said, whispering the last part.I stayed silent, I knew exactly why he hadn't said anything to anyone. But now it was putting us into trouble.“Why would they give him that kind of ultimatum though? What is going on?” I asked incredulously.I shook my head wildly looking from left to right. Something wasn't right. First they made him a rogue, now he's back they're making him be with someone that is not his mate.“They said…. And it's very ridiculous…if he hasn't found a mate, he has to choose someone and make them Luna” she said exasperated.I was stunned, I tried to t

“No, that's nonsense!” I said, my eyes flashing with anger.What in the hell did she mean by punishing? And I wasn't born from a human. This was definitely nonsense.“They're wrong” I shouted, turning back to walk back towards my house.I wasn't hearing any of this nonsense anymore, but she stopped me.“Hey! Don't just storm out, I– I am just trying to help you, don't go” she said forcing me to halt in my tracks.I sighed heavily, she was right. I didn't mean to be rude to her, it just came out of nowhere.It hurt me deeply to hear that about my dad. They were wrong. They had to be wrong. If they were right then why wouldn't he tell me?“Look” she said, trying to steer me to a tree where we could sit for a while.“We can't know for sure if these rumors are true or false,” she said, shaking her head at me.“I'm sorry I shouted at you” I said solemnly, looking down at my feet.I heard her chuckling, but she didn't say anything immediately.“Why don't you just ask him? It's time you knew
ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 33
My father had tried to distract me throughout our meal, bringing up conversation after conversation of what happened during the time we were hiding.I had entertained him up until I noticed he was finding it hard to breathe as he talked. This bothered me a lot. I wanted to know how serious his health issues are.I wanted to know why he was also keeping it from me, it's not like I wouldn't find out eventually.I didn't know how to go about the conversation and it was beginning to feel like a burden on my chest.“Dad,” I said suddenly, cutting him off as he spoke.He looked at me sharply, probably noticing the change in my countenance.“Are you going to tell me what's wrong with me? Do I have to beg? Tell me, please. I'm sure I can help” I said pleadingly.He looked at me with eyes filled with sorrow. His lips quivering a bit as he continued staring at me.But just like that the look was gone and he was back to his cheery self.“You don't worry about this old man. I will be good before
ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 32
I ran towards him hurriedly, almost tripping on myself in the process.The minute I came in contact with him I felt tears that had been bottled up for the longest time spill out immediately.I missed him so much, just the thought that I wasn't going to be stuck in some house or cellar for the longest time gave me cause to squeeze him even more.“Oh dad” I said, crying on his shoulder like a pup that had been ripped from his mother's breasts.“My baby. Oh Celeste. I thought I had lost you forever” he said, gently patting my back over and over again.Fresh tears threatened to pour out at the sound of that but I maintained my cool. Coughing, I let go of him slightly and just looked at him.He seemed to have aged a lot since the last time I saw him. His weight had greatly reduced and he had worry lines on his face.I frowned, taking in his composure and stance to detect any signs of illness or maybe it was just fatigued.“Dad?...” I began to say but he waved me off and just took my hand.
ROGUE WOLF AND ME CHAPTER 31
I had mixed feelings about leaving the lake house. I was going to miss it dearly.I thought about asking Christian if we would be able to come back here once we were settled but I changed my mind.Assuming we would be together when all was said and done was scary. I hadn't thought that far.As for Riley, I know she was eavesdropping on our conversation yesterday and I also knew that she had a lot to say.But for some reason she was awfully quiet. It was both endearing and scary at the same time.On one hand I knew she just wanted me to think things through but on the other, she would've been buggering me to spill by now.I chalked it up to the fact that we were going back home and she was probably processing now.As for Christian, the last time we spoke about him leaving the pack, he said he was a rogue.Would things still be the same now that he was going back. I had this ever present feeling at the back of my mind.I didn't know what to make of it and that scared me a little. I just
