My heart felt like it had stopped. I was always certain I would never have a second chance mate. My aura so dark after I lost my fated mate, I thought I was a lost soul, never to be fixed. Unable to heal. Why would the moon goddess have chosen me for this goddess in front of me? She was heavenly, of that there was no doubt, but did I deserve her?

Her wailing stopped and she fell to the floor, seemingly in sleep, or collapsed from tiredness, I was truly unsure. But one thing of which I was sure, was that I needed to return her to the safety of Mystic Shadow Pack, to the Alpha and The Beta there, they would know what needed to be done. I was yet to decide of what I should do about the fact she was my mate.

She was beautiful. And clearly had the affection already of a strong and handsome Alpha and Beta. Two men perhaps more worthy of her than I ever could be. I may have been blessed with her as a mate, a second chance, but I was nothing but a rogue now. Living on the terr

    I was in the forest a moment ago, I was sure of it. I was crying. Now I am in the arms of this man. This handsome man. Suddenly Orla is there, back within my mind. She had gone. she had left me, abandoned within the forest, all alone. Broken by the events of the afternoon. And yet, she was suddenly back. Giddy within my mind. What was happening? This man’s grip around me seems to tighten as I move slightly. My nose suddenly filled with the strongest scent of ginger and spice. So rich. Manly. Orla felt like she was bouncing around in my mind like a little pup. Why had she gone from being broken to so excited? ‘Mate!’ she squealed. ‘We have another! Mate! Mate!’ My eyes widened at her words. She had to be mistaken. We had just lost our fated mate, literally hours ago. How can this be our mate? My head jerks upward to look at him, and he is looking down now, to look at me, his short, slightly curly blond hair flopped over his face slightly, big green eyes meet mine

    To receive that mindlink to say Evelyn was back on our territory filled me with relief. I had done nothing but freak out since we had come off the phone to her brother Jacob and heard she had never returned to pack. Hearing what had happened to her had broken my heart. I knew that pain. That loss you feel when you lose your mate. And to know she went through it alone. A pack member being the cause must have been hell for her and her wolf, likely sending them into a blind panic. The way the actions of her wolf were described sounded crazed, she was struggling. She was in pieces. She needed someone there for her. I wish I had been there for her. Instead, she was alone. All alone, unsure of what to do. Fearful of her own pack, and in a panic. But for her then to have disappeared with no response sent me and Cayden into a blind panic too. Yet Jacob told us not to hunt for her, to stay on our own territory. Not to risk ourselves for her. He had no clue, that I think I would di

    My heart had been feeling instantly lighter hearing Evelyn was back, knowing she was safe again after worrying non-stop since the moment she had left pack, even more so after hearing what had happened to her, knowing she had suffered through that traumatic experience alone had broken my heart for her, I desperately wanted to be there for her. She did not deserve to go through that alone. So the relief of knowing she was back here where we could take care of her, where I could try to be a support to her was so immense. But then the sudden shift to my heart in a matter of hours was drastic, it had felt like it had fallen through the fucking floor the moment Jackson told me the things he had been feeling as he walked toward her when she had been brought to our borders. Everything you feel as you meet your fated mate. Everything I had experienced as I met Lily. Everything he will already have experienced when he first met Ava, and was now getting to experience them all over a

    I stood in my office, talking to Beta Jacob of River Ash Pack, Evelyn’s brother, on the phone. He had been desperate for news on his sister. Understandably so, as had we when we had heard she had fled their pack after the events of earlier today. “Evelyn is with us.” I told him as soon as I had greeted him. “What?! Thank fuck. Bring her home.” He tells me. “No.” I say bluntly. “What do you mean no? You know she follows the orders of her Alpha. And he summoned her to come home, return to pack, so you tell her to get over what happened, stop throwing a tantrum, and realize her pack needs her.” Jacob says, and I have to say I am shocked at how cold he actually sounds. This is his sister! She had lost her mate earlier at the hands of one of her own pack mates. How can he have no compassion or sympathy toward her? “Erm, excuse me, but things have changed. She will not be returning to you, now or ever. Firstly, do you have no fucking heart? She is suffering the

    The shock coursing through my body at the realisation this she-wolf in front of me is Evelyn is like nothing I have experienced before. My wolf, Kali is pacing so anxioulsy within my mind, only adding to the bizarre feeling I am experiencing. How can this have happened? This does not feel right. But I am intensely aware of the fact Evelyn needs our help. I look down to her, the alluring scent of the violet and vanilla is almost being overpowered by the scent of blood from her injuries. Evelyn is curled up on the forest floor, in the foetal position, I assumed to have protected herself from attack, but still she was badly wounded, and now unconscious. I slowly and gently laid her so she was on her back to see the extent of her injuries. There were wounds down her legs - bite marks and scratches. Some of the same along her arms. And what looked to be an attempt at her neck, which somehow she had escaped, which I instantly feel relief to see she escaped or else that would have

    Hearing the words of the doctor within the hospital, I had no clue what made me follow the doctors to the forest. My priority had been to search for Evelyn, but I knew my friend may need my support too. Yet a part of me hoped that with the fact Cleo had mentioned she had seen Evelyn head in the direction of the forest on the security footage we may see her on the way, or when we get to Cayden he may have seen her if he had been running out in the forest… Never did I imagine I would find this upon my arrival here. This is not what I thought I would see. Cayden on his knees, next to what he says is his new second-chance mate. Telling the doctors he has marked her. To save her life. Which when their wolf is absent through trauma or other cause this is not an unexpected action, one of desperation to bring your fated mate back to you. A means of saving their life. Then to say he had licked her wounds too. Something so personal, so private. Intimate. Something only close family o

    I rush along the familiar forest trails after the two doctors, now taking Evelyn to the hospital to finally check her over. Her laid out on the collapsible hospital stretcher, looking vulnerable and broken. They say she is healing, but until I see her awake, speaking telling me she is okay I will not settle. My heart is in pieces in worry for her, yet my body filled with rage for the things my so-called best friend had implied. When he had told me she was his second-chance mate earlier it had hurt, all the things he knew I felt for her, yet he told me through mindlink. There were better ways to have done this, and he knows it. But I accepted it, despite the pain within my heart. Despite the fact I had allowed the sweet girl into my heart, albeit reluctantly and fearfully at first. But she had brought a lightness I could not explain. And one I did not want to lose. Yet hearing the words she was his second-chance mate, while it hurt, I had taken and given them their spa

    The words of the rogue hit my ears and I feel myself falter slightly. I look to Cayden and then to the rogue. “What?” I try to find some voice from within me. Right now I feel like I am disintegrating. I had imagined a new life with a new fated mate. Never had I imagined having to share her with my best friend. I had heard of werewolves with more than one fated mate, yet had never actually come across them, it was not particularly common. I had seen Evelyn as mine the moment I had realised she was my fated mate. There had been feelings beginning to develop prior to that. She was already forming a place within my heart. Bringing sunshine into my previously very dull life. Making me smile so easily, and making me look forward to seeing her each day. I had no clue if the feelings were reciprocated. Though when I had moved to kiss her that once in the office, before Cayden had interrupted us she had not pushed me away… That was my hope she did not find me completely repulsive.

  • The Alpha, The Beta or The Rogue?   Epilogue - Evelyn

    2 years later. I adjust my dress, it is so uncomfortable being this heavily pregnant, especially in this heat, but we are heading to Midnight Blood Pack, to see Frankie and Cara and their little one. They had their first son a few days ago and were having a pack party today to celebrate. We, of course were invited, as were the Alphas from all the other packs within our region. Any major event within our packs now was celebrated as one region. Since that day we were all united, and so much closer. Each pack had their own Alpha but they worked alongside one another, and sought out one another’s advice on things. The packs had worked hard together to fix all the damage done to the packs, returning them to their former glory. Allowing the refugees residing within our many packs return home. For the refugees whose packs had been destroyed and absorbed into others, they now had new homes within two new packs in what had been Night Shade Pack. Our region was completely ren

    We walk through the pack to the training field. Each one of my mates is desperate in one way or another to be touching me. I find it incredibly sweet, but can’t help but wonder how I am going to get anything done… “The whole pack is waiting for us, are you excited?” Cayden asks, as he pulls me closer to him. “Not really. I hate being the centre of attention, so if you want to put all of that onto Aiden, that is good with me.” I say while grinning at Aiden, who shakes his head at me. “Hmm, I think meeting their new Luna will be a big deal. Especially one who took out that prick.” He winks at me. “I’m just a surplus Alpha that the moon goddess decided to throw in for some reason.” “Don’t say things like that.” Jackson snarls, with a shake of his head. “We are all even. So, you are not surplus Aiden. Though in bed… maybe.” He teases with a grin. “You didn’t think I was surplus when you were snuggled up to me during the night.” Aiden responds with an e

    My mouth meets hers in the moment I have been waiting for since she left. Yes, I have kissed her since she arrived home, but only fleetingly. Not wishing to push her. Not wanting to be too much. But this, this feels like it is going somewhere. My hands run through the waves of her long blond hair. Fuck… I have missed our girl… I feel Evelyn slide forward slightly on the countertop, hooking her legs around my waist and I find myself smiling against her lips. Hmm, seems my naughty little mate may have the same thoughts I did… I allowed my hands to drop from her hair to her babydoll night-dress, to slip it up and over her head, leaving Evelyn suddenly naked and exposed to me. My eyes instantly eating up the beautiful sight of my mate’s naked body. I felt Evelyn’s fingers upon my chin, lifting my gaze back to her, as she brought my lips back to hers in what was quite the possessive move. And, I have to say, I quite liked it… The kisses were gentle… teasing… slow

  • The Alpha, The Beta or The Rogue?   Chapter 149 - Evelyn

    I awoke the following morning, terrified by the presence of three bodies surrounding me. I quickly sat up, my heart racing in the darkness, the room unfamiliar to me, terrified about where I was. “Ev?” I feel Cayden’s hand suddenly around me, pulling me back to reality, as the realisation of where I am hits me. Our new home. Our new bedroom and the large bed that Aiden and his brother had built for us… I had forgotten… in my sleepy dazed state, I had forgotten! Aiden was suddenly up and next to me on his knees. “Sweetheart, are you okay? Did you have a bad dream? Your heart rate is through the roof!” Jackson however was still passed out, almost purring in his sleep, quite content it would seem by having his three mates finally by his side. Cayden told me he had barely been sleeping, but last night he had dropped off first, in barely no time at all. And, I can’t help but think that may have something to do with the fact we are altogether in one place, no mat

  • The Alpha, The Beta or The Rogue?   Chapter 148 - Cayden

    We left Night Shade Pack together. The four of us. It had been a while since the four of us had all been together, and despite the earlier animosity it felt good. My wolf, Kali felt the calmest and most content he had done in a long time. “Do you think the things we discussed with them will work?” Evelyn asks as we edge our way past the crowds of other Alphas, and the many warriors in the parking area, and she glances out toward them, a look of uncertainty on her face. I don’t suppose I can blame her for that… “Time will only tell. But there is a solid plan in place, which we will reinforce.” Jackson reassures her. Evelyn nods. “I do not like that Alpha Saul.” She mutters, and I cannot help but smirk, she had not been holding back in her words with him, which had took me by surprise, I have to say. That was not like Evelyn at all. “You would never have guessed.” Aiden teases her gently, I think he is being a little wary, he knows he upset her earlier, and

  • The Alpha, The Beta or The Rogue?   Chapter 147 - Evelyn

    I stand in a daze in the grounds of the pack I had been held a virtual prisoner at. Listening to the voices of many Alphas trying to pull rank now. Of course, they had worked together to end the reign of Alpha evil himself. But, now, they seemed unable to work together… bickering like young school boys… I look to Aiden and Cayden is desperation, my head pounding from the noise. I did not want to be back here. This place held too many horrible memories as it was, but this situation on top of that was only adding to the pressure building within my mind. We were supposed to be coming to deal with the pack members, I am sure that is what they had said… not creating another conflict between every other remaining pack! ‘Are you okay sweetheart?’ Aiden’s voice echoes through the mindlink as we walk toward our destination. I want to hate him for how he treated me earlier, and no doubt I would be angry at him for some time, but he was trying hard at the moment to take care of

    I watch the woman in front of us, and the coldness emanating from her. It is piercing my heart like a dagger each time she looks at me coldly. This was not the Evelyn who left us. But, I don’t think it would be fair to expect her to be the same considering what she had had to endure. But, I had hoped she would be as pleased to see us as we were her! Although, Aiden’s behaviour seemed truly inexplicable. He was rude and argumentative when he saw her. And, I cannot help but wonder if that is the reasoning for her cold front with us all. After all, it would not be the first time she had punished us as a group… “I want to be alone. Can you take me home.” Evelyn tells us, making me frown. I understand nothing more than the need to go home. I would love the exact same thing for us all. Of course I would. But we had commitments to our warriors. To the other packs defending our region alongside ours. We could not just walk out on the plan we had devised together. We needed to s

    I paced on through the edges of the forest, anxiously. Knowing I was out of the borders of Night Shade Pack now. But also knowing that Blake’s body had to have been found now, because as Cara left she sent a crazed mindlink out to all of her pack that she had found the dead body of their Alpha. She told me she thought it would be a good idea to allow the pack to know their Alpha was dead, so they may surrender the fighting. And, as terrified as I was for the consequences of my actions, I think she may be right. Because if the warriors of Night Shade Pack learn of Alpha Blake’s death they may choose to surrender of their own accord. Bring the plan me and my mates had to a conclusion. This could bring this decades long conflict to an end finally. Blake’s life would be at an end, along with the war he envisioned. ‘Orla, do you feel anything? Are they still fighting?’ I ask my wolf as we move through the trees towards the place I need to meet my mates. Dreading the

  • The Alpha, The Beta or The Rogue?   Chapter 144 - Jacob

    Our pack was suddenly swamped under supporting troops from our surrounding packs. This was the denfensive attack we had been told of. I only hoped my sister was safe as they had forewarned us. I cannot lie, I hated myself for having to give her up in order to protect our mother. But, I had been naïve in believing she would bring her mates, but even then, I believed her mates would save her. Yet, I have awaited each day for news. News of her safe return to their pack, but there has been nothing. No news. And each time I questioned it, I learned Evelyn was staying with Alpha Blake. Rumours were spreading he planned to make her his Luna. Something had gone wrong. So wrong. Evelyn had mates. Three of them. What would she want with a man so much older than her? One that was so evil and sinister? It had made no sense to me… All until this plan had been unveiled to us. Then, the truth became apparent. My sister was deceiving the Alpha. They all were. Which is why her mates ha
