The Alpha's Rogue Mate Chapter 9
Finally, after a few more minutes of walking in silence, Christian brought me to the almost outskirts of the pack where a few small, dingy buildings were clustered together. They didn’t look well cared for, but they were stable and from what I had hoped, secure. We walked a little bit closer and stepped up to the door. I placed my hand on the door knob and tried to pull it open but it wouldn’t budge. Maybe it was a push door? No, that didn’t work either. Christian smiled with that stupid smirk on his face and fished around his pocket when something jingled. In his now outstretched palm was a bronze key with a small grey wolf keyring attached to it, "We wouldn’t just leave these houses unlocked for the taking you know?"He nudged his hand, urging me to take it, and tentatively, I did. The metal felt warm in my hand and I let my stomach stir for a minute as I realised what I was holding; some kind of security and stability. "Would you do the honours?"I turned to look towards the door

"You've gotta admit, I am pretty funny though,' I teased, not having forgotten the way Christian had burst out laughing when I almost landed a punch on his alpha. Christian did a dramatic look around before leaning in to stage whisper, "Just don't tell him I agree, I quite like being Beta."We shared a small chuckle before he started speaking again, "As I promised, you will be protected here. This house is your space and it will remain that way."The beta and I could’ve had this back and forth all day of whys, ifs and buts, but a girl came hurling around the corner, bags in hands looking like she was going to trip over herself and be crushed under the avalanche of shopping bags around her. She was young and pretty, looking like she was just over my age with fiery hair like embers and emerald eyes, like a storybook character made real."I’m so sorry I’m late!" She exclaimed as she finally reached us, setting the bags down as softly as she could, still creating quite a rumble as she di

After what felt like hours, I’d unpacked everything that Annabelle had brought and sat down on the sofa. It was nice to have something to distract me and take my mind off of the last couple of days. Annabelle hadn’t just brought food for me, but also toiletries, decorations and bits and bobs to make this house seem a bit more homely. There was something called a ‘gonk’ that sort of creeped me out, I was worried I'd turn around and he'd end up in a different position, so I put him on guard duty at the front door. One, so I didn't have to look at him, but two, maybe if someone opened the door they would get freaked out and it would deter them from doing anything else. I stored the new towels in a cupboard by the bathroom and sorted through some new clothes. Annabelle had gotten all sorts of colours and sizes and styles just to make sure I would have something to my liking and something that would fit. I laid out a shirt and trousers ready for after my shower before I stepped into the s

Most relationships in the New Moon pack were not arranged out of love, but out of power and alliance. It was almost essential to protect yourself by finding the strongest mate you could. Most would have killed to have the alpha at their door most days, practically begging for their hand in marriage. There were rumours about my supposed engagement to Fredrick, none of them pleasant, especially with my wolfless soul. Some girls my age thought I had seduced him into bed and it led to the boys propositioning me. They were joking for the most part since if there was an inkling that Alpha Fredrick truly wanted me, he wouldn't react to anyone trying to take what was his.My parents were a rare exception and were disowned by their relatives as a result. My mother was engaged to Marcus, and my father was expected to marry the alpha’s cousin, Laura, but the two wanted each other. They weren't fated to be together, but it was a choice and risk they both made. Fated mates were rare under typical

Ah. So that was it. Not only was she the daughter of a Beta, but she was going to be the future Luna of the Full Moon pack. I felt myself growl at the fact. Of course, a girl like her would become a leader of the pack; the worst ones always did. I sucked in a deep breath and stood, offering her a theatrical bow, "Oh my deepest apologies. Had I known better I would have started bowing at your feet the second you walked through the door. Whatever can I do to atone for my impertinence? May I shine your shoes?" I glanced towards Annabelle and stage whispered, "How was that?"If I was being one hundred percent honest, I was a little worried about how Annabelle and Christian would react to that display since I didn't want to make enemies of the only people who had shown me kindness so far and Poppy technically was their future luna. However, since Christian didn't mind me making fun of Alpha Jackson, I took the chance.I let out a smile as Annabelle chuckled softly which had Poppy spinning

The room gasped in shock freezing for a moment.Poppy didn’t stay down for very long, scrambling to her feet like a rat despite the sprinkle of blood dripping from her head. We began to circle one another, eyeing each other’s movements and calculating our next moves. Parents ushered their children out of the mess hall and all eyes were on us. Poppy’s entourage looked like they wanted to jump in, but this had become a challenge between two wolves and help from either side would show weakness more than anything.Christian could do nothing to stop this either despite his role as the second in charge, not whilst we were on equal footing at the very least. Only the alpha could break up a fight within his pack without dishonouring both wolves. Knowing the alpha of this pack, the prick was probably going to end up rooting for that bitch over there. "You’ll pay for that you little whore," she snarled, taking a step forward. I mirrored her, taking a step back, keeping some distance between us

Poppy let out a whimper before stepping off of me and shifting back. She wrapped her arms around Jackson tightly, her broken nose still gushing blood and her body bruised in places. Even though she had been in her wolf form looking like she was about to rip my throat out, in her human form it definitely looked like I'd done the most damage to the poor defenceless maiden. Sorry, I meant cow. At least I had gotten a few hits in. “Jackie!” She cried, arms hooked around his neck, her head resting on his chest, "Oh Jackie she attacked me."Her eyes started watering and she brought a hand up to wipe away her crocodile tears. Rolling my eyes, I stood up from where she had pinned me down, dusting myself off, my bandaged leg aching from the action but I didn't let any sign of it show. I noticed that Alpha Jackson didn’t seem inclined to comfort Poppy much, the look on his face showed he was barely tolerating her hanging off of him.Alpha Jackson turned to Christian, peeling Poppy from around

My wounds weren’t too bad—just a few bruises and cuts—but I think my body was getting sick and tired of patching itself up so much. I didn’t have any medical supplies, so I had to make do with cleaning any cuts myself and cutting up some bedsheets as makeshift bandages. I hadn’t expected Annabelle to bring me a first aid kit or something similar because why would she? She didn’t know I had no wolf to heal me.I ran my cuts under cold water, my blood colouring the clear liquid a pinkish colour as it ran down the sink. I wrapped the torn bedsheet around the worst of the cuts from where Poppy must’ve slashed me with her claws. She hadn’t gotten me too deeply, but enough to make me wince as I fixed myself up. My stomach grumbled, reminding me of why I had been to the mess hall in the first place and the poor delicious dinner that ended up slathering Poppy’s face. That poor, poor dinner. But seeing the look on her face with mashed potato up her nose and gravy dripping down her head was w

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
