The Alpha's Rogue Mate Chapter 28.5
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

Annabelle was waiting for me after I left the changing rooms, a mischievous smile on her face as she gave me a friendly bump and we went to the circle that was being formed by the pack. I’d managed to only just make it on time and Alpha Jackson threw me a small glare, but it wasn’t as if he could scold me since I wasn’t actually late. Alpha Jackson wore a watch and was checking the time with some scrutiny and my mind briefly went back to Poppy and how I’d taunted her that she would be late. I quickly looked around but she wasn't there of course. If she wanted to get here on time she would’ve had to sprint to catch up to me.Alpha Jackson blew a whistle that hung around his neck, looking at his pack with seriousness and pride, "Good afternoon all." He started each weekly training session the same, but when it was just the two of us all I got was "Come on, hurry up.""Good afternoon, Alpha!" Everyone said simultaneously as they banged their fist against their chest. I still didn’t see t

I knew when my twenty-minute head start was up because a large pack howl sounded, and though I’d managed to get a good distance away in that time I still kept my guard up. I'd seen wolves run before and had been chased by them, and it was not a situation I was eager to replicate. Alpha Jackson had said we could hide, and that might be the best-case scenario.If need be I could climb a tree but I didn’t want to take the chance of being stranded. So I jogged for a minute or two to give myself at least a little bit more distance.From what I'd seen of the pack during their training before, a lot of the pack when in their human forms, spent their warm-ups sprinting and were winded before the proper training had even begun because of it. Those would be some of the first wolves caught by the hunters. But speed and stamina weren't going to win me this thing. Smarts would too. Shit!I quickly looked around me to see if I had made too many tracks and cursed myself that I didn’t think of it so

I stumbled to my feet, quickly whirling around as I watched the four of them surround me whilst they growled and snapped. One went for my leg as if to chomp down on it, I'm sure it was a coincidence that it was my newly healed one too. I moved out of the way just in time as another went to do the same for my arm. She narrowly missed and I kept turning around to make sure they kept back.There was a large stick beside me so I quickly went to pick it up, swinging it around like a crazy person because this was the best chance I would’ve had against them. This wasn’t just a training exercise for this group anymore, this was personal, a way to get back at me.“Still a coward I see,” I taunted, taking another swing at one of the wolves.Poppy growled at the comment and barked a command to her wolves. The three of them stayed in a circle around me but backed away, leaving the focus to be me and Poppy. I guessed she didn’t appreciate those kinds of comments anymore. At least she was trying to

The wolf stalked towards us, head held high and fur the colour of moonlight. Unlike in my dream where he seemed scared and hopeless, he stalked towards Poppy and me with a sense of power, like the trees themselves would uproot if he asked them to. Even underneath Poppy, I was on guard against this new wolf, he could've been a bad omen and I wasn't fond of him coming straight out of my dreams.Even Poppy seemed inclined to bow her head and whimper at the new wolf joining us. I wondered if there would be a fight, perhaps. I didn't know what to expect, nor did I know if Poppy knew him either.Still, she didn’t get off of me, even as the white wolf got closer and closer. A sound like a soft grumble came from her chest. It didn’t seem like she was willing to fight this wolf for me, but she was showing her displeasure at having to give me up. The wolf glared at her, almost in surprise that she hadn't let go of me yet. Poppy's eyes drifted back towards me and another snarl rippled up her th

"Go out? We’re already outside." I stated. We’d just finished our training. How much more ‘out’ did she want?Annabelle shook her head and took my shoulders, bouncing up and down, "I mean to town! To get drinks and have a party! Your leg is better and training went really well today. We deserve a night out.""How about we talk about this after we shower and change?"Annabelle grumbled something about my lack of excitement but we quickly changed and left the training grounds, heading to the Mess Hall for food. My hands were still aching from the climb (and falling) but I didn’t see the need to go back to Doctor Heath. We layered up our plates and sat down, Annabelle looked at me with puppy dog eyes as if asking for permission and I sighed."Fine, talk."She sucked in a huge breath and smiled, "So, human town, drinks, club, are you in?"I almost choked on my food at the sound of a human town. I knew that they were allowed to go there for jobs and to buy extra things the pack needed, but

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

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
