The Alpha's Rogue Mate Chapter 24
Annabelle and I carried on walking until we got to the training grounds and by Goddess was it a sight to behold. I had seen it from a distance earlier but being face to face with it made it all the more amazing. The schooling house was just around the corner and the changing rooms were just in front of the field so people were able to change just before beginning their training. The field itself was a lush green that looked like it could run on for miles stretching into the forest, a pond somewhere close by and different pieces of equipment littered against the grass such as dumbbells and hurdles. "Why are there so many things?""Oh, some people have their own private routines, others like to work in groups but combat training and regular P.T. is done as a pack.""We didn’t have mandatory pack training," I replied, watching people begin to put away their equipment. "But we did have groups get together and not everyone was exactly willing."Annabelle gave me a sad and knowing smile b

I stumbled into Alpha Jackson before I could stop myself, landing face-first on his chest. I shoved him away after I regained my balance and glowered at the alpha. I took back everything I said about him not being an asshole. He was a prick."And why not?" I asked defensively, "Why let me come here only to tell me to fuck off?"He had the gall to look amused as he crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at me, "Did the words ‘fuck off’ come out of my mouth?" He retorted and I hated the way he seemed to be laughing at me for it. "Isn’t that what you’re doing? I can’t shift and your entire pack is here so what are you so afraid of?"There was no way that he could hate rogues this much to do this. This felt personal, for all the times I’d spoken out against him, for making him question Annabelle’s loyalty and my god damned snarky comments. He was pathetic if this was supposed to be an attempt at humiliation and punishment. I wanted to go and run with the pack anyway just to see what he w

I’d only managed to get a few more punches in before the last few members of the pack finished up their laps and returned to the middle of the field. Some were lolling their tongues still in their wolf form in exhaustion, others seemed like they still had a lot of energy as they jogged on the spot. After the final pack member came they all shifted back into their human form waiting for further instructions. Alpha Jackson smirked as he pulled off his first pad with his mouth, the velcro ripping as he dropped them to the floor. I held out my gloved hands for him to help me but he just turned around, leaving my face burning red as I mimicked what he had just done and let my gloves fall to the floor. I wished I’d missed one of my punches and landed it in his face instead. "Are we all warmed up?" He asked the pack, looking for any signs of exhaustion or injury in case anyone had ignored his warnings. They all yelled out a ‘yes, Alpha,’ in response."Alright, get into pairs," He announce

"You did such a good job for your first session!" Annabelle squealed as she joined me for a little bit in my house. She showed me how to work the TV properly and we put some music on for background sound to relax after the long day. I’d managed to get the stance pretty spot on to the point Alpha Jackson stopped correcting me about it. We switched after a little while so that he was the one punching and I was defending. His punches were powerful and precise. I ended up stumbling back slightly every so often from his pure strength even as I tried to stand my ground."You need to ground yourself," He had told me, shoving my legs with his feet to correct my stance, "Your centre of gravity needs to stay still and firm, I can’t knock you over if you don’t let me.""Yeah, but I’m sure you’d find it hilarious.""Maybe just a little bit.""Asshole." Annabelle and I sat on the sofa, cups of tea in our hands as a reward for the training and the rest of the day. After we’d finished training we

Annabelle left sometime around one a.m. We hadn’t realised the time, and she had to rush off to head home. The room that was filled with light and laughter and friendship suddenly became cold and lonely. Even with the lights and heating on, the cold still seeped through my bones as if to remind me of what I didn’t have when Annabelle left.From all the emotions and adrenaline the past couple of days, being alone and rested made me realise just how lonely I was. I couldn’t accept this place as my home because my family weren’t there. My mother wasn’t singing songs at random, my father wasn’t reading a book in his chair and my brother wasn’t annoying the hell out of me. They were dead, maybe not even buried, and they weren’t coming back.The walls felt like they were closing in, trying to bury me in the cold and grief as I thought of my family. As I thought of Fredrick torturing my father and making me watch and my mother and brother’s body a bloodied mess. How was that only three days

JacksonI hadn’t expected to see her like that. In all honesty, I thought she’d attempted to escape again despite the consequences of the night before and was more than ready to have her carted off to a cell. A second escape attempt would increase my suspicions that she had ulterior motives for getting away from my pack. What I saw couldn’t have been farther from the truth. Clarissa alerted me that the anklet had set off the signal that Elise was moving away from the pack, albeit slower than before. I assumed this was because of her injured leg and thought she must’ve been an utter idiot to try it again so soon. I didn’t see the need to shift as I leisurely walked to where she was located. I’d offer her no sympathy this time. In fact, I’d rip her leg off myself so that she’d be free of that anklet and I’d be free of her and wouldn’t be responsible for a rogue anymore.But then I heard it, a low, mournful, broken howl that scattered through someone’s throat like a desperate prayer.

I was changed after that night. Before it felt like I was drowning with an anchor attached to my leg, like no matter how hard I fought the current, nothing would work and I was slowly running out of air. Now, it was like the anchor had been broken off and I was left trying to swim on my own. So no, everything wasn’t suddenly okay, but it was more manageable and I finally felt like I had some semblance of control. After a couple of weeks, I felt a lot more comfortable in the pack, I still had plans to leave once the stupid anklet was off my leg, but at least I wasn’t running to get it burned off... Again. "Are you still having nightmares?" Doctor Heath asked, looking at my leg for the last time to make sure it was fully healed so I could take part in the full training. No more standing by and watching the others run or being a punching bag."No," I lied. When I visited Doctor Heath last week, I told him my nightmares were still there but I wasn’t struggling to sleep. To be honest I w

“Looks like that broken nose didn’t teach you anything.’ I retorted, my hand moving to her foot and I winced as she stomped harder against my shoulder, but I didn’t let go of my grip. The second she gave me any leeway she’d be on the ground and I'd be dusting myself off.Poppy and her groupies didn’t seem to appreciate my sense of humour as a defensive growl rumbled from them. No one seemed inclined to help or interfere as pack members walked past us. Parents ushered their kids away as some of them lingered to see what was going on, and some onlookers took a second look to see who was involved and if they needed to step in, but once they noticed it was me at the mercy of their future luna they walked away. Not that I wanted their help that was. I'd managed just fine on my own against this bitch so far."You wanna say that again, rogue?" She bared her teeth at me as if to scare me.If I could’ve shrugged to show my indifference I would’ve, but I simply said, "Kind of, yeah.""Don’t you

I had gotten so used to these dreams now that I wasn’t even surprised as I found myself floating in the sky above a familiar forest. I was pulled towards one direction and it felt like it would take forever before I ended up where I needed to be, even as the moon stayed stagnant and bright. Finally, I saw where I had floated towards. It was the New Moon pack. I tried to turn around and fly away, wanting nothing more than to never see this pack again, but there was a pull my body couldn’t ignore no matter how hard I tried.My body lowered itself to the pack house and I was forced to take a step closer towards the door that led me to my father’s fate.This time, I didn’t go down those steps, but rather I went up and some part of me was aware that this was the way to the Alpha’s Room. Frederick had the entire floor to himself and made it so he could access anything he needed. He had his bedroom, meeting room, an en suite and much more on that floor.It was cloaked in a black shadow and

We didn’t say much else after the crying session. We managed to compose ourselves and had a few minutes in silence. It wasn’t an uncomfortable silence but more one that we didn’t need to talk to understand one another.Jackson was the first person to stand up and dust himself off.“I’ll give you some more time with your family,” he said before placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder, “Think about the offer I made you.”I only nodded, offering a small smile, “Thank you.” I didn’t need to add the ‘for everything’ for him to know what I meant. He smiled back at me and turned to go before he remembered something. He knelt again and with a small click, the silver band around my ankle was freed. He pocketed the item and offered another small smile before he headed away, giving me that valuable time with my family.I rubbed at my ankle, the cold air feeling strange against it. It was like the anklet had become another part of me and some weird part of me felt sad that it was now gone. Anoth

I barely said a word when I got back from the Pack House. My mother had only asked one question:“Is your father okay?”I couldn’t stop myself from bursting into tears at the question, wishing I could give her any other answer. But I couldn’t. And soon she pulled me into her arms tearfully, sobbing into my hair before we both sunk to our knees, weak from the stress and sorrow. My brother got angry instead, swearing that he was going to rip Fredrick’s head from his body.It took my mother standing in front of the door, tears streaming down her face to stop my brother from leaving the house. He tried to get past her but she held him tightly, begging him.“If you challenge the alpha you’ll end up just like your father,” She cried, clinging onto him for dear life. “He needs to pay! I’m going to tear him limb from limb,” He screamed.“Please,” My mother whimpered and I’d never heard her voice be so small in my entire life, “Please son. I won’t be able to take losing both of you.”That was

It was worse than any of us had imagined. I smelt it before I saw him as I was encouraged to walk down the thin corridor that led to the basement of the Pack House. I could taste the ash from the candles and smell the burning of skin the second I walked down the first step. Frederick wanted that, to prolong my thoughts and fears of what he’d been doing to my father. I was almost sick from the anxiety, and still we walked. It felt like we would never reach the bottom.The claustrophobic corridor began to open up and the first thing I saw was Fredrick smiling at me with that sadistic smirk on his face that made me flinch. He held out a hand like a groom accepting his bride and I trembled as I took it. He led me to a silver-lined door with bars and inside was my father, bound in silver, lying on the floor, screaming in agony through his gag.I rushed to try to open the door, but Fredrick held me back, firstly by my shoulder, then by encircling his arms around me like a lover’s embrace. I

I don’t know why it affected me so much, him saying those words with a deep sense of promise. He was offering me something I hadn’t had in a long time, a home. Even with Annabelle I had felt so alone because it felt so temporary but now... now I could stay.I thought about it for what felt like forever before I opened my mouth.“I don’t know what it is I want anymore,” I whispered, looking at my family’s grave. They had tried so hard to protect me from one pack only for me to be trapped in another. How would they feel if I gave myself to this pack so easily, as if to forget them? Why was I allowed to move on when they were still stuck there?But didn’t I deserve that? I desreved a chance to start a new life, have a new home and maybe even find someone to love. You weren’t a blessing! I heard my father’s voice from that dream so long ago You were a curse! It made me shudder, immediately making me feel guilty.No… No I didn’t deserve something new, not when it was my fault that they we
The Alpha's Rogue Mate Chapter 44
This path through the forest was familiar to me. I came here at least once a week to visit the graves of my family and to offer a prayer to the Moon Goddess that their spirits were safe with her. It didn’t surprise me that the alpha knew the way here too considering he’d seen me make them.As we rounded towards the three small mounds that had begun to grow grass on them, I noticed the small daisies placed on top of one another. The small bundles looked new and I was sure they were because I hadn’t seen them before.“What are you trying to do here?” I asked suspiciously, turning towards him. “Nothing bad, I promise. If there’s one thing I respect, it’s mourning,” He replied with sincerity as he moved towards my family’s grave and kneeled just in front of it. I hesitated before I took a deep breath and sat beside him, looking at the dainty flowers on the ground.“Did you do that?” I mumbled, feeling the tiny stem of one of the daisies that was on my mother’s grave. It wasn't much, but

“How would we get it out?” I asked desperately. I had never dreamed that I would be able to meet my wolf in real life. I wondered what her name could be and what she would look like. What would our first conversation be like? Had she seen everything I’d seen but been unable to do anything about it? But never had I truly thought I would be able to meet her.Clarissa thought for a moment, looking at my shoulder once again, “I don’t know how deeply the Blessed Silver is embedded. I would have to make an incision into each scar to find out first. The procedure to extract it will be painful and we’ll need to get help from a healer just in case it.”I bit my lip nervously, “Do… do we need to tell them why?”“Does anyone outside of me and you know about this?” She asked me out of professional curiosity to see who could be trusted with this secret.“No,” I shook my head, “I haven’t told anyone… But I think Doctor Heath suspects.”“Why would he have reason to suspect this?”I remembered the g

That question. That damned question! This was exactly why I didn’t want anything to do with a witch because deep down I knew she would find out! I spun towards her with a fear I hadn’t known before clawing through my body and I shifted away from her, knowing that I was completely at her mercy. Who knows what she would do with that information? Would she tell Alpha Jackson? Would she try to blackmail me? Only my family knew about my lack of a wolf and I trusted them, but I didn’t trust Clarissa, not that much anyway.“Elise,” She said softly, not making any movements to try to get closer to me, “Elise, I’m not going to hurt you, I-”“You’ll just need to tell the Alpha, is that right?” I cut her off harshly, my hands curling around the bedsheets desperately and I tried to look for a way out.The only exit was a door that was shut. Could I get there before the witch stopped me?My mind was a blur of panic as multiple scenarios shot through my head and my chest grew tighter, so tight th
The Alpha's Rogue Mate Chapter 41
Clarissa let me cry alone for a little while as I bundled myself up on the bed feeling every negative emotion possible: sadness, anger, betrayal, pain. All of it built up into that long, painful crying session. I’d wrapped myself in a blanket so tightly I could barely breathe, or maybe that was just the ache in my chest. I thought we’d gotten past that stage of our hatred and distrust toward one another. I hadn't caused any more problems as far as I was aware and he'd been the one training me. He’d even seen me plant the graves for my family, and I knew it was him who had given me that blanket that night. And yet, he was still blinded by his hatred of rogues and suspicious of me."Miss Clares?" Clarissa knocked at the door before letting herself in, carrying a tray with toast and a cup of tea.Hastily, I wiped away the tears that had left streaks on my cheeks and sat up, the blanket still wrapped around my body as a comfort. I didn’t say anything to her as Clarissa set the tray on t
