Tempted by the Rogue Alpha 102: Broken Heart
Dexter It’s like someone has stabbed me with a fucking knife over and over again, right in my fucking chest. What the fuck?I keep my eyes glued to the window. When I first parked the car out here, I never thought that I’d have such a perfect view of the house Lara grew up in. I’ve been here only once before, years ago, when I first joined the authorities and started working for them in Victor’s investigation. When Lara came to the window, I couldn’t believe my luck. What were the chances that she’d be in the room that would give me a view of her? She’s been standing there for a few minutes, and although I can’t see her face properly at all, I could see her red hair. But now, someone’s in the room with her—a man—and he’s pushed her against the window and they’re kissing. They’re not anymore, but I haven’t quite gotten over the shock of watching that happen right before my eyes. Who is that guy?I blink and they’re both away from the window now. I look away, my eyes on the steerin
Tempted by the Rogue Alpha 103: The Meeting with the Lycans
Lara I shove Jensen away and stare at him with wide eyes as I step away from the window. “What the hell was that!?” I demand. My voice is shrill and I hate how fast my heart is beating. For a moment there, I thought that he was going to kill me, but he kissed me instead. That doesn’t make any of this better, though. Jensen runs a hand through his hair and the pinches the bridge of his nose. “I’m sorry,” he finally says. “I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I’ve been waiting the whole day to…I’m sorry, Lara, I really am.”I fold my arms across my chest defensively. “Why the hell did you kiss me? I mean, why would you kiss me, Jensen?”He’s silent after I ask him this question and it leaves me feeling agitated. I’m trying not to freak out here, but maybe I should. This was completely out of line. “I shouldn’t have,” he states. “I’ve been trying to convince myself not to the whole damn day, but after seeing you alive, something inside of me snapped. I thought you were dead. I thoug

DexterAfter switching the car with Damson, I head to Lara’s place. That’s where I’ll be meeting her. This matter is too serious for us to have a conversation about it out on the streets. I’ll have to break in. From what I’ve seen, it doesn’t seem so complicated to do so. There’s a part of the back of the house that will allow me to get inside. It’s typically monitored like the whole house, but I’ll just have to watch until my patience thins and someone makes a mistake. That’s the only way people get in. I leave my car up front and start my walk around, making sure I stick to the trees so I’m not seen. This is trickier to do during the day but I can’t delay any of this. I want to hear it from her lips that she wants me to walk away. And also, this will give me a chance to say goodbye to my son, even if it’s only for a little while. I want to get to know him; I’ve made my mind up about that. I know I’m someone with a shit ton of flaws and I’m probably not the best influence for
Tempted by the Rogue Alpha 105: Open Eyes
Lara Directly after the meeting, I contact Jensen and we get going. Finch told me to be extra vigilant and careful, and I intend to. I'm getting a strange energy from Jensen, or maybe it's all in my mind because of the kiss from last night. I don't know; I try to focus on the fact that I'm doing this for Ambrose and Ambrose only.I have to find a way to help him. There's no way around it. Jensen is on the wheel and I'm staring out the window. We're driving back to Kearwood and I feel very anxious. I don't like being away from Ander for this long. I expect to be back before dark. "So," Jensen begins, breaking the ice. "How does it feel like to be Alpha?"I shift uncomfortably in my seat. "It's still very new.""Yeah?" he asks, glancing at me. "There's a lot to change in the werewolf world, particularly in the Lycan community," I explain. “I know I can’t influence what the other Alphas do with their packs, but I intend to change a lot of things for the Lycans.”“Like what?” I glan
Tempted by the Rogue Alpha 106: Closet
LaraJensen and I are in the car, driving toward the café he claims to be around the corner. I’m paranoid now. What if he’s taking me someplace else? Ambrose didn’t have enough time to tell me everything. Jensen didn’t even take long. Someone must have intercepted him a few seconds after he left the room and told him about there being no food in the cafeteria. I keep staring out the window while I think about what to do. I’ve already sent Finch a text. In it, I told him not to call me because Jensen can’t be suspicious of a single thing, not of me or of Ambrose. “How far is this café?” I ask, trying to keep my tone light. He chuckles. “We’re almost there.”When we approach a large building that seems to be a restaurant with a café right next to it, I’m honestly relieved. At least he wasn’t lying about this, and I’m not about to be lured someplace to be killed. Even so, I have to find a way to get away while he’s distracted. My question is this: why would Ambrose try to warn me a
Tempted by the Rogue Alpha 107: Bliss
DexterLara shoots me one more accusatory look before heading toward the door. She opens it a crack and I hear her brother ask, “Is everything okay? Why’s the door locked?”“It’s fine,” she answers, and I realize that we’re going to have that conversation after all. “I just need to spend some time with Ander. We’ll talk about…that thing later.”“Okay,” her brother responds. He sounds suspicious. “I’ll be downstairs if you need me.”Lara closes the door and locks it, and then she turns around to glare at me. Ander is standing next to his bed and he’s looking back and forth between us. I can only imagine his confusion. The poor kid. We have to talk someplace else. “Ander, I want you to stay here for a bit, okay?” Lara says without taking her eyes off my face. “You’ll stay here until I arrive, won’t you?”Ander nods. Lara heads toward the door, opens it, peers out, and then gestures for me to follow her with a nod of her head. I tell Ander, “See you soon, buddy.”“Okay,” he replies j
Tempted by the Rogue Alpha 108: Taking Action
Lara I feel emotional after having sex with him. I want to turn away but at the same time, I want to stay under him with my arms wrapped around him while I inhale his scent. It's such a confusing moment because every time we're together, it feels right and everything's so perfect. But then the feelings of guilt rise inside of me, and I feel terrible for wanting the man who ruined me and caused me so much pain. But I want to forgive him. I want to with all my heart. Maybe a part of me already has. But the memories won't leave me alone. Every time he's near me, my mind will force me to remember what he's done and I'll want to put some distance between us even though in actuality, I don't want that to be the case. I want him to be around Ander. Around us. But my mind doesn't trust him even though my heart has forgiven him. I don't know why that is or how to even make it go away. Dexter shifts and lies on his side. His eyes are on my face while his hand strokes my belly and I once a
Tempted by the Rogue Alpha 109: Awkward
Lara I decide that the best course of action to take is to go to the facility where Ambrose was being kept. My goal is to maybe check the cameras and find out if we can locate the model of the car Jensen used or maybe even get his license plate number. When he picked me up, I didn’t notice those things at all. It’s a mistake I’ll never be making again, that’s for sure. I ask Finch to father seven men to bring with me. He’ll stay behind to watch over Ander and I’ll set off. Ambrose is my father and I’m the one who should be responsible for him. With a fixed plan in mind, everything feels more possible. I’m convinced that I can do this. It’s a two-hour drive and I feel anxious the whole way. I’m hoping that I can find Jensen before I agree to any of his terms. My guess is that he wants money, but something about the last thing he said to me has been racing through my mind. What am I missing here?I don’t know anything about Jensen. He used to work at the bar and had seemed like a n
