Rogue Desires Thirty-Nine: Sloane
It was humiliating to sit with the packs in the dining hall with a guard standing right behind me. Everyone knew I had run away during the lockdown, and my father made sure to send his message loud and clear that I was currently on the outs with him by the cold shoulder he was giving me in addition to the guard.It was a crowded pack dinner, celebrating Ben's win during the second challenge. Yet, even in a room with everyone sitting, eating, and drinking, someone stood no less than two feet behind my chair, ready to grab me if I ran.The guard was unnecessary and frustrating. Even if I wanted to run away from the pack dinner, everyone would see me stand up and do so. There was no way to sneak off, and it irritated me that my father was trying to humiliate me this way.Even Aiden wouldn't look at me for a while, knowing interacting with me would cause him to go on my father's shit list too. Still, he did nudge my shoe with his at one point to let me know that even though I was currently

When dinner was over, I was relieved to find my room just as I had left it. The only difference was a new lock on my door, but I would still be moving a piece of furniture in front of it at night to keep intruders out.Mainly, Ethan.A knock on my door had me rushing to it, and as I pulled it open, I found my tall, lanky little brother standing there. I grabbed his arm and pulled him inside.Aiden grunted at the force of my pull, and I didn't bother exchanging pleasantries with the guard, who immediately moved to stand in front of my door again as I slammed it shut."What did Ellie say? What the hell was that about at dinner?" I rushed to ask him, but he was more focused on the mess in my room as I hadn't had time to finish cleaning it back up yet."Forget dinner. What the hell happened in here?" Aiden asked, looking horrified when he spotted my closet.I waved my hand dismissively before rushing out my reasoning, "I think Ethan trashed my room and stole my cell phone, but that's not i

The candles were lit, and music filled the cave softly from the cheap phone I was still holding a grudge against. It played music but wouldn't let any of my messages come through. What kind of a bullshit scam was that?I took a deep breath, needing to calm myself before Sloane arrived.I had spent a good twenty minutes pacing, then twenty more sitting on the ground with my arms on my knees before I saw the water ripple, signaling that she had just jumped into the pond.It was only a matter of a second now before I would be able to see for myself that she was safe, and I was counting each one.I saw the black waterproof bag come up first, but the hands gripping it weren't Sloane's. The fingers were longer, the palms wider, and the nails were unpainted.Before the intruder could surface, I had jumped to my feet and moved back into the shadows, turning off the flashlight and cursing myself for trying to give the cave a romantic feel with the candles and music. I had barely turned off the

I hurried out of bed, my hands up with my palms facing my siblings as they glared at me. If there was ever a time to be nervous, this was it. Ethan was the least of my worries right now."Listen," I started, but Aiden stepped forward, grabbing his hair and pacing back and forth. Never before had I seen him so stressed, but I was also really curious about what happened. Every few paces, my little brother would stop to glare at me. "It's not as bad as it sounds.""How could it not be as bad as it sounds, Sloane? How?! You could be starting a war right now! Hell, if anyone found out, the war would be the least of your issues because you would be exiled!" Aiden whispered aggressively."I'm confused, when did this start?" Ellie asked from my bed as she pushed the pillow between her and the headboard to lean back on it."It's only been a week!""You're risking everything over a man you've only known for a week?" Aiden exclaimed with exasperation."Technically, I first met him about ten years

My lips pursed together as I tried to avoid looking at Ben.While Ethan had chosen a picnic on the edge of town for everyone to see, Ben had chosen a private date in the garden.The flowers surrounding us looked beautiful, and the air was still slightly chilled as he had chosen a brunch instead of a dinner. I was glad he had because I got to avoid breakfast with Ethan and my father, and I didn't have to worry about it being too romantic.It was nice and comfortable… or it would be if Ben hadn't been staring at me the entire time like he was physically biting his tongue. His cheeks were pink, and his eyes were wider than usual.He couldn't possibly know about me and Greyson, but he knew something."Are you okay?" I asked, trying to be discreet as I leaned back in my chair to put some space between us. He wasn't making me nervous, but he was fidgeting quite a bit, and I was expecting him to knock something over at any second."Who me? I'm grand! Great…I meant great! No one says grand any

"Sloane, dear," My mother called out to me, and I moved to her side. "Can you please go and fetch me my reading glasses?"I widened my eyes at her.Wolves didn't need glasses, and everyone in the room knew it, but no one said anything. My father turned to her with a skeptical look, but she refused to acknowledge him as she raised her eyebrows, expecting a response from me.Had her glasses even existed, it was something that one of the servants could have easily done, but knowing that my siblings had somehow convinced my mother to help me get out of the room and keep Ethan distracted motivated me to get this done and do it quickly."Of course, mother. I'll be right back." I said, sliding past my father's chair and making my way out of the room."Ethan, why don't you start? Tell us something about yourself." Ellie ordered as the door closed behind me.As soon as it did, I took off, ignoring the maids, guards, and servants as I sped past them. I was on a mission and refused to be distract

Sloane: I was thinking of taking a day trip to see you…I paused mid-bite, staring at my phone as my heart beat faster than before.The diner was packed and filled with loud talking and laughter. I usually avoided eating here when it was so busy, but something had been pulling me in. Everyone seemed so happy still. They were enjoying their meals and the company around them, and I was starting to feel the same.A few heads turned my way as I set my fork down on my plate loudly to text Sloane back.Greyson: Oh, when would that be?I couldn't help the smile that stretched over my face as three dots appeared on my screen to signal that she was typing."How is everything?" Jessi asked, looking exhausted, but I knew she was excited by how busy the diner was today. More customers meant more tips. "Can I get you anything else?""Everything is great, Jessi. Delicious as always." I looked down at my phone as it vibrated and smiled wider.Sloane: Today. In about an hour?"Actually, can I get half

Benjamin Reid, Nightshade: 25 Points Tatum Blair, Shadow Paw: 20 points Declan McCoy, Iron Hide: 17 Points Ethan Dunn, Night Walker: 17 Points *** "You don't seem happy." My mother said as she sat beside me on the castle's steps. I had left the party early but hadn't hidden away as I knew it would only anger my father further and put me in danger with Ethan. Man-bun had been watching me all night, and as soon as I started to pull away from the crowd, he moved in. It made me change my mind about trying to sneak out or hide in my room. It wasn't safe to leave the public eye. I wanted to ensure there were witnesses in case he did anything, so I stayed where I could be seen without being down in the chaos. "I am, just not here." I disagreed, staring out at the crowd surrounding the bonfire. Ben was celebrating harder than I expected, but every once in a while, he would let his smile fall and looked devastated. I didn't want to be forced into mating one of them, but I would be rega

Thank you so much for joining me on this journey! I have loved writing Sloane and Greyson's story and seeing all your comments, votes, and reviews. I read every comment and appreciate all of you for the feedback and engagement. As most of you know, I normally love to write other character's stories to continue the series like I did in The Alpha's Girl Series and The Beast and The Blessed Series. Sadly, this book did not perform as well as I had hoped, and I must move on with new characters and a new world, so this will be a stand-alone novel.I love and appreciate you all so much! Thank you! I'll see you soon with my next book release over the next month!
Rogue Desires Epilogue: Sloane
Four months later: I couldn't help but giggle as Freya, and I slumped back onto the couch. The giddy excitement caused me to sound pretty unstable, but I couldn't calm down if I wanted to. I was too excited for Greyson to get home. He had been out all day, running patrol and helping the pack fix Earl's house. The poor, grumpy old man had broken his good leg trying to cliff dive with the pack after having a few drinks and could no longer justify refusing the changes that needed to be made in his home to make it more accessible. Due to his age, his healing was slower than most wolves, but he was determined to refuse help…not that anyone listened to him. The pack had rallied together and gathered all of the necessary tools to make his two-story home more usable. He reluctantly gave in under the condition that we rip it all back out once his leg healed in a few weeks. Jessi was busy with the diner, so she hadn't had the time she would have needed to help Earl around his house, even th

I hugged Aiden one last time, not ready to let go as I stood under the midday sun by the pond with Greyson. My little brother had insisted on walking me back, but this was the farthest he wanted to go. I wouldn't admit it to him, but I was secretly happy he had come with me. I wasn't ready to say goodbye, even if it was only temporarily.I hadn't been exiled, but I was moving away, about to start a new life and my own family.Aiden, Ellie, and I would still be close, but not as close as before. There was no way for us to continue as we once were. Our relationship, as it was now, spending every day together would be brought down to texts, phone calls, and the occasional visit.Although, I was hoping to have Aiden come stay with Greyson and me whenever he wanted.I had the feeling Ellie wouldn't be staying at my parent's place long. She was eighteen and old enough to receive a mark if Declan chose to gift her with one.I anticipated that would be soon so Ellie could avoid going through t
Rogue Desires Sixty-Three: Greyson
I never imagined I would be sitting in Charles McKenna's office. It was even more unbelievable than Sloane and I being fated mates, destined for one another by the Goddess. I had always known we were meant to be together, regardless of the Goddess choosing her for me. She would have been mine with or without divine intervention. “Son,” Charles said, and my lip curled up in disgust. “Don't call me that,” I snapped, feeling my anger instantly fade as Sloane laced her fingers with mine. Taking a deep breath, I tried again. “I am here out of respect for your daughter, nothing more.” “I understand that,” Charles said, staring at my hand in his daughters. “However, now that you are mated, we will want to discuss a treaty.” I felt my beast bristle at the idea of being connected to this man and his pack by more than just Sloane. He didn’t have anything to offer me that I couldn’t find elsewhere, but as we were a new pack, we needed support and fast. I was resistant to having an alliance
Rogue Desires Sixty-Two: Sloane
I was on cloud nine. I could feel everything through our bond. Grey's happiness, excitement, fear, and anger.Most importantly, I could feel his love for me. There was so much of it. More than I ever thought possible.My hand moved up to my neck, and a rush of pleasure went through me at the contact. From the way Grey stiffened behind me and his grip tightened on my hips, he felt it, too. The connection we had was incredible. I could feel him so clearly that I suspected if I tried hard enough, I could hear his thoughts."Soulmates," I repeated the word. Regardless of what my father said now, he wouldn't be able to force me into mating with Ben. I was already claimed, and even if Grey were to die today, my soul would always belong to him."He is a rogue!" Ethan yelled, and I leaned further back into Grey's chest. Even with everyone around me, the thought of him being close to me sent alarm bells blaring through my mind.He was unstable and evil."Ethan Dunn," Charles yelled, turning to
Rogue Desires Sixty-One: Greyson
Aiden eyed the tree line I was hiding in from his place next to his father. The sun had risen over the trees only an hour ago, but Charles seemed to be in a hurry to get rid of his daughter. We had barely made it back in time for the ceremony, and I expected Charles to have something to say to his son about that, but he kept his gaze on the castle doors where my woman was about to emerge. I had to keep reminding myself that she had chosen me. She wanted to be with me, and nothing would prevent me from stopping this ceremony and claiming her for myself. Since her father was outside, I assumed he was either being true to his cruel nature or Sloane was feeling better and would be down shortly. I needed it to be the latter so I could see for myself that she was okay. Ben stood in a suit at the end of the aisle. I shook with anger, knowing that he had won and was there to mate with my woman. He should be proud and excited, yet he looked broken. His eyes were downcast, and his hands wer

Benjamin Reid, Nightshade: 51 PointsTatum Blair, Shadow Paw: 46 PointsDeclan McCoy, Iron Hide: 34 PointsEthan Dunn, Night Walker: 29 Points***My eyes hurt as I forced them open, feeling Ellie's hand shaking me awake for what must have been the tenth time. The room was spinning, and my muscles felt frozen. She tried to get me to speak, move, or make a noise each time she woke me.Yet, each time, I would lay there trapped inside my own body, terrified and angry.Ethan hadn't been here long. The silver restraints he used had only been on me for a few minutes as he dragged me to the bed before injecting me with something. Still, they had done significant damage in the little time I had them on me.I could feel the effects of the silver chains in my bones still, but that also could have been whatever Ethan had injected me with."Sloane, you need to wake up. Mom will be here any minute to get you ready for the ceremony. I've called that pack doctor back, too." Ellie looked so worried as

My fingers tapped on the counter as I glared down at the human. She shook, and the stench of stress, fear, and onions oozed from her every pore. I wanted to get as far away from her as possible.Her oily skin, frizzy hair, and smell attested to her poor diet. It had always amazed me how many chemicals humans put in their foods to replace fresh ingredients. It was no wonder they were always sick or dying."This is your specialty, is it not?" I growled, and she shrank back as she heard the displeasure in my tone."I just handle the sales. Like I said earlier, our tech team should be back from lunch shortly," She gestured over her shoulder with her thumb to the back room.My claws extended, and my nails clicked loudly against the hard surface as I took several deep breaths. She had been saying that for two hours, practically begging me to come back another time. I had the feeling this would be her last day of work at this establishment, and if I did come back, someone else would be forced
Rogue Desires Fifty-Eight: Sloane
It was difficult trying to figure out how to pack just enough that it wouldn't weigh me down when I made my escape while also bringing enough that I wouldn't break the bank having to buy clothes or personal items.The bag on my bed was only half full when I heard the knock on my door. My back tensed, and I quickly grabbed it and rushed to the closet, pulling the door closed behind me.A light layer of sweat was on my forehead, and my heart raced with excitement to escape and see Greyson again. I wanted to throw myself into his arms and tell him I loved him a million times or until I lost my voice.I never should have gone back with Ethan and Ben during the challenge.Grey and I should have run, even if it meant the other packs would hunt us down. At least then, we would be together, and there wouldn't be this uncertainty between us with him not answering my calls.I recognized how careless that thought was as soon as I had it. A war over a few missed calls…Still, my running away would
