CHRISIf I had been told that I would be mated to a rogue, I would have had the person's tongue cut off and fed to the palace dogs but here I was staring at my rogue mate. Her scent was appealing and it drew me closer to her but I could also feel the rage in her, her eyes were burning with them.She had felt the mate bond too so she ran away from me. I chased after her hoping to at least get her name but she wouldn't stop. I kept chasing her and beckoned her to stop and hear me out but she wouldn't heed my voice until I ran out of breath and couldn't go any further. "Fine, you can run all you want," I said. "I don't want you anyways."I returned to the pack and ordered my soldiers to retreat. This was my mate's home and for an unknown reason, I felt bad for destroying it. I let the women and children I had captured go and returned to my pack after leaving a strict warning to them."I don't want to see any of you anywhere near my pack else I won't be lenient the next time I come to vi
LUCY"This is my chance to prove myself and get my revenge, he won't even see it coming," I said to myself as I trained hard for the duel. I knew he was a skilled fighter and I wasn't going to doubt that so the only way to beat him was to train harder. The duel was in ten days and it felt like forever. I barely spent time at home but rather I was in the woods training. Lothar had stopped by severally to talk me out of it but I turned deaf ears to him.“You can't beat the alpha, it's pointless for you to try,” he said to me.I rolled my eyes at him. “I’m not going to quit, I’ll rather die trying to get my revenge.”“Is this what this is about? Revenge,” Lothar asked“Of course,” I scoffed. “You thought I would merely accept a duel simply because I want to avoid being his mate. you should know me better than that, Lothar.”“You have to stop this, Alpha Chris has nothing to do with what happened to your father.” “I don’t care, he will pay for his father’s sins,” I yelled.“If you’ll li
CHRISI had hoped for a disconnection of our mate's bond too when Lucy pronounced those words. At first, I felt like my heart was going to shred apart for a moment but it was gone within seconds. She ran away into the woods with teary eyes when she realized that her rejection wasn't going to change anything about our fated bond. "We need to leave now my lord," Glen said. "We need to leave before anyone notices that you are gone from the pack."He was right, besides it was the death ceremony to honor the Omega that had lost his life during the attack on our pack weeks ago. The ceremony was to be held in a few hours and my absence would cause a fuss in the pack so we returned. Preparation had begun, everyone painted their nails with charcoal and mud and red clay in mourning.The time for the ceremonial rite began. The body of the late Omega was brought out and laid on the pyre we had prepared. The mage came forward to perform the spiritual rites, then he handed a torch to me.I lacked
LUCY"Father, when are we returning home? You said we would go back soon. I miss home," I whined.My father faked a smile and lifted me in his arms. "We have to stay here for a while until everything settles down at the pack," he said."What is going on at the pack? Is a war going to break out at the pack?" I asked.He smiled again, this time it was real. "You are too inquisitive for your age, Lucy. I'll explain everything to you one day.""Why not now? I'm old enough to know anything," I continued whining."I was asked to leave for something I didn't do. It was a misunderstanding and I'll make sure I clear my name so that you and mother can return home soon alright?""Lucy-"Lucy," "Hey, Nathan, what are you doing here?" I said, wiping the tears off my cheek. "Why are you crying? Did anyone hurt you?" Nathan asked."I'm not crying, something fell into my eye. Why are you here?""I haven't seen you for days now. Oh, how did the duel go between you and your mate,""He's not my mate!"
LUCYThe news of Chris' escape had gotten to the ears of everyone and a search party was sent to look for him knowing that he wouldn't have gone far due to the pain inflicted on him by Maverick and the rest. I was asked to remain in the pack while they went out searching for him. I noticed how everyone glared at me with contempt, some avoided me like the plague, I knew the reason for their behavior so I ignored them. I waited until the rest returned with the hope that they wouldn't find him. There was no way I could warn him since I had been restricted from leaving the pack.I was relieved when I realized that they hadn’t found him where he was hidden, I could tell from the devastation written on their faces and I knew there would be consequences for letting him escape but I didn’t care as long as he was safe.“I told you she wasn’t up to the task but no one listened to me. I’ve always known that you were incompetent,” Maverick yelled.“Let’s hear what she has to say about what happ
CHRISEveryone was surprised to see me after disappearing from the palace a few days ago, they must’ve thought something bad had happened to me. Two of my guards who had been with me at the time I was captured had been arrested and locked up in the dungeon where they were tortured because it was believed that they had a hand in my disappearance. As loyal as they were, they had refused to reveal the secret of my whereabouts to anyone, not even to my mother even after being tortured. I went immediately to the dungeon to have them released and taken care of before I headed to the courtyard where my mother was, sobbing. "What the hell happened to you?" my mother asked, wiping her tears off as I walked into the palace, bruised all over. She ran towards me and wrapped her hands around me and began to cry more, it was like she had been waiting for me for years. "I had something important to do, mother," I said."How important was it that you didn't deem it fit to tell me or anyone? The gu
CHRISEvery Alpha had many enemies, both known and unknown so I wasn’t surprised to hear that anyone would want me dead but I was curious about what she knew. There could be someone out there who must be eyeing the throne and would do anything to bring me down, maybe someone from the rogue pack.“Why are you telling me this? You’d be happier to hear of my death, won’t you?” I said. “As much as I would love to be free from this crazy bond, I can’t stand and watch someone else take your life. Find out what I need to know about my father and I’ll let you know all you need to know,” she said.I became confused, was she concerned about my safety, or was she only concerned about her father’s issue? I thought. “You should leave, I’ll look for you and discuss with you further when I find out everything about your father.”“You know where to find me," she walked off.I instructed the guards to lead her out of the pack safely before returning to my inner chambers to have a word with Lothar alo
LUCYAll my years of being raised as a rogue, the ideology we've always had were that we rogues had equal rights as well as other wolves. That was why we always went to war with other packs, to prove a point. Hearing Cade's desire to kill the Alpha came as a surprise, all we've always wanted was to win our spot as members of our various packs not to ignite more reasons to be seen as outlaws."Kill the Alpha, else I'll let everyone know about what you did," Cade said.I could sense the greed in him, he wouldn't want the Alpha dead if there was nothing in it for him. I was curious to know what it was so I asked."Why do you want the Alpha dead? Is there something in it for you?""The Alpha already has enemies amongst his elders, those that want him out of the way. He has been given a year to find his mate or else he would be dethroned," he said.I now understood why he was adamant about me being his mate, knowing it was against the law to be with a rogue like me."That's not enough reas
