With trembling fingers, I reached for the cabin door and knocked softly. My breath clouded in the icy air, and for a moment, there was no response. I thought of leaving, running back into the darkness to find another way, but the creak of the door interrupted my thoughts.

A woman stood in the doorway, her piercing green eyes locking onto mine. She was older, her silver hair braided over one shoulder, and though her face was lined with age, there was a sharpness to her gaze that warned me she wasn’t to be underestimated.

She sniffed the air and narrowed her eyes. “A rogue,” she said, her voice calm but laced with suspicion. “You’re injured.”

I didn’t deny it. “Please,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “I need shelter, just for tonight.”

Her gaze swept over me, taking in the blood, the bruises, and the desperation in my eyes. She let out a slow breath before stepping aside. “Come in, then. But don’t think I won’t throw you out if you bring trouble.”

I stepped inside, the warmth of the ca

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Teach them a lesson

    I sat frozen, my mind racing as his words echoed in my ears. Was he serious? Would he actually kill someone just to prove a point—or worse, to feed me? A part of me wanted to laugh at the absurdity of it all, but the cold reality was that Alpha Kade wasn’t one to make empty threats.I pulled the blanket tighter around me, my body trembling from more than just hunger. His dominance, his sheer cruelty, clung to me like a suffocating shadow. Yet, beneath it all, there was a fire—a part of me that refused to break no matter how hard he tried to bend me.I forced myself to stand, leaning against the wall for support as I moved to the window. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the packhouse grounds. My wolf stirred within me, restless and angry, urging me to fight back, to run, to do something other than sit and wait for him to come back.But how? The room was locked, and I was weak. My injuries, though healing, had drained me, and I wasn’t sure I could survive anoth

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Still not submissive

    As soon as I was out, the real me hit me so badly. What did I just do?!But they real deserved it.I looked around then noticed that the guards weren't around. I was happy for it. This time I didn't want to escape but I wanted the stupid ruthless bastard. Their Alpha.I walked slowly due to hunger until my eyes landed on one of the workers."Where is Kade?", I asked and when her eyes fall on me, fear showed in her eyes. I was scaring with blood of the rotten meat all over my body.She hesitated for a second but when she saw me open my mouth, she gave in i'mmediately. "He's in the meeting room."My brows furrowed. Meeting room?"Where is that and what meeting?""The meeting with the council. It's downstairs, near the cellar." The servant replied, staring at me with wide eyes. The second the compulsion wore off, she walked away without a single thought of what happened.I remained calm, used the energy I had in me and went downstairs, the underground level of the estate, one I had never

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Change in behaviour

    As I walked back to my room, my mind raced with confusion and anger. Kade's sudden shift in tone had left me reeling. He had spent so much time treating me like an inconvenience—his enemy even. But for a moment, just a fleeting moment, there was something softer in his voice. It wasn’t enough to convince me he wasn’t a monster, but it was enough to keep me awake tonight, questioning everything.I shook my head, scoffing under my breath. "What the hell is wrong with me? Since when does 'clean yourself up' count as sweet?"Yet, I couldn’t deny the flicker of something I’d seen in his eyes. It wasn’t just anger or frustration. There was hesitation, maybe even a hint of… concern? That thought made me stop in my tracks. Concern wasn’t something I associated with Kade. He was a brute, a dictator, someone who seemed to view me as an inconvenience at best and a burden at worst.But then, why hadn’t he punished me for eavesdropping? Why hadn’t he locked me up, as he so often did before? Why ha

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Training session

    The room felt colder after Kade left, his presence lingering like a shadow I couldn’t shake. His words swirled in my head, heavy with implications I couldn’t unravel. You’re asking questions you don’t want the answers to. The truth. That’s what I wanted, but was it what I needed? What could possibly be so dangerous about knowing the truth?I leaned back against the bedpost, staring at the ceiling, my thoughts refusing to settle. Kade is well known as brute, a man who ruled through fear and dominance, yet through out this day, something about him felt... different. Like he wasn’t entirely the monster I’d painted him to be.That thought made me angrier than it should have.I stood abruptly, needing to move, to do something. My room, though bigger than the one I’d been thrown into when I first arrived, still felt like a prison. The clean walls, the soft bed, the untouched clothes—it was all a farce. A pretty cage was still a cage.And there was nothing to do in the room.Tomorrow, he sai

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Sleeping with him

    The rest of the day blurred into a haze of exhaustion. Training with the pack wasn’t just physical; it was mental, a constant test of endurance and focus. The wolves pushed me relentlessly, their disdain obvious in their sneers and muttered comments. I didn’t care. Every blow I blocked, every hit I landed, was another small victory, another step closer to proving I didn’t belong at the bottom of their hierarchy.By the time the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in streaks of red and gold, my body felt like it had been put through a meat grinder. I limped back to my room, muscles screaming in protest with every step. The clean, sterile space greeted me with an emptiness that felt heavier than before.I made my way to the bathroom.I started the shower, and peacefully washed my body. Everything was well and I took my time while showering but everything changed i'mmediately when I opened the bathroom door to get out.My eyes instantly fall on the bastard who was seated on th

    The morning came too soon. A soft beam of sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. My body felt heavy, as though the exhaustion of the previous day had embedded itself deep into my bones. I blinked groggily, disoriented by the unfamiliar warmth cocooning me.And then it hit me.Kade.My heart lurched, and I instinctively jerked back, only to find that the source of warmth was no longer lying beside me. The bed was empty, the sheets on his side rumpled but cold. I let out a shaky breath, a mixture of relief and confusion washing over me.Had he left? Why hadn’t I woken up when he did? The thought that I’d slept so soundly in his presence both unnerved and irritated me.I pushed myself upright, clutching the blanket to my chest as I scanned the room. The bathroom door was closed, but I didn’t hear the sound of running water. My gaze darted to the small desk near the window, where a folded piece of paper caught my eye.Curiosity tugged at me, and I s

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Praising her

    The training dragged on, but I refused to let exhaustion slow me down. Kade's gaze seemed to follow me with every movement, sharp and calculating, as though he were cataloging my every flaw. He didn’t pair with me again after the initial spar, but his presence loomed over me, pushing me harder than I thought possible.By the time the session ended, my muscles felt like they were made of lead. The pack dispersed slowly, some offering me lingering looks, others ignoring me entirely. I stayed behind, leaning against a wooden post to catch my breath.“You held your own today.”The voice startled me. I turned to see Torren standing a few feet away, arms crossed, his smirk less mocking this time.“Barely,” I muttered, wiping the sweat from my brow.“Barely’s better than nothing,” he said with a shrug. “Most don’t land a hit on Kade their first time sparring. You’ve got potential.”His words, while backhanded, felt oddly like praise. I narrowed my eyes at him. “Why does it sound like there’s

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Heat

    The next few days passed in a strange quietness, a calmness that I hadn’t expected after everything that had happened. During the day, I trained alongside the pack, pushing myself further than before. Kade’s presence, though still looming in the background, wasn’t as oppressive as it had been. There was a quiet understanding now—a shift in the way he looked at me. He wasn’t constantly hovering, scrutinizing my every move, but I knew that he was watching from the sidelines, waiting to see if I would keep my word.Training felt different. It wasn’t just about proving myself to the pack anymore. It was about proving it to myself. I focused more than ever, growing stronger each day, each sparring match, and feeling my body begin to adapt to the intensity of the training. There were no more whispers of doubt in my mind, no more insecurities about my place here. I was earning my place, step by step.At night, things remained just as peaceful. Kade didn’t come to my room again, and for that,

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   Crush on him

    I placed both of my arms over the headrest of the couch and placed my chin on them as I watched Alessandro, my back was now facing the TV.I really liked staring at him... does that make me creepy?As if he felt my eyes on him, his gaze flicked directly toward me, making my breath hitch. We just stared at each other in silence. His expressions were nothing but indifferent, and cold, and yet I felt like my whole body was suddenly on fire.He slightly rolled his eyes, just slightly, and god! If it wasn't the hottest eye roll I have ever seen in my life. I smiled in return, I know it was my staring that vexed him.He narrowed his eyes back at me. "How was college?" he asked, his voice rough and demanding.I gave him a wide smile. "Perfect..."Like you-I wanted to add but I didn't.I think I have a huge crush on Alessandro Costello, maybe, it's because he is the first man I have ever known, and maybe I'll grow out of it when I'll meet new people at college. Because being cramped up in a h

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   I can’t kill you

    I approached the woman with sweaty hands and trembling legs, there were just so many people behind her. I have never been a part of a crowd. I have never even been in a place with so many people before. My heart pounded against my ribs as if trying to fulfill a thousand beats. I deeply exhaled, releasing some of the tension that had built up in my muscles."Welcome to Columbia University, Ms. Martinez. My name is Tara Wells and I'll be your guide through everything..."I smiled politely at her. "Thank you...""Although your admission was kind of last-minute, you arrived just in time for the orientation week.""Oh..." was all I could say as I didn't even know what orientation week was.I know Alessandro must have something to do with my last-minute admission, and now I really don't know how I will ever repay everything he has done for me."Let's start with the campus tour"With a smile on my face and anxiety shooting through my veins I followed Tara as she showed me around the campus.

    I unwrapped it and saw a cell phone printed over the box. Alessandro brought me a phone. I grinned as I excitedly opened the box and took out the cell phone."It's a phone!" I squealed.I never had a phone, my parents had them but I wasn't allowed, dad sometimes let me play games on it but that was just it.Alessandro gave me a slight smile like he found my reaction funny or stupid but I was too happy to care. He stood up and I took a step back."Come on, I'm taking you to college."Suddenly words had abandoned me, I watched him stunned. I had a cellphone and now he was taking me to college.Where has this man been my entire life?I couldn't help the scream that left my lips with excitement, I threw myself in Alessandro’s arms. I wrapped both of my arms around his neck as if my life depended on it.At first, he didn't hug me back, disappointment filled my chest, as I thought that I crossed a line. Biting my lower lip, I began to pull away but then I felt his large, warm hand on my low

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   I'm sorry

    I didn't step out of my room yesterday, I stayed inside even though I was extremely hungry but still I didn't step outside of this bedroom door. There were no locks or bolts over it but the fear that has been engraved in my mind was too raw. I couldn't shake it off, even if I tried.It was still early in the morning, and Alexander or Scott hadn't come to my room. I brushed my teeth, showered, and dressed up in clean clothes. My stomach growled with hunger but I wrapped my arms around it, suppressing the sounds.The door opened slightly and I got off my bed in a flash, my eyes tearing up again. I needed a list of rules, I needed to know what I can or can not do. Alessandro can't just expect me to know the rules of his house. He needs to tell me first, he needs to explain them to me.If he had told me not to get out of my room, I would have never done it. I wasn't a brat, I would have listened to him.I dropped my gaze to my feet, I didn't care if it angers him that I didn't look him in

    I shook my head at his words immediately. Tears welled up in my eyes, and my stomach churned. I wanted to throw up. He tugged my head backward outstretching my neck. "No, Alessandro, please, I won't drink, I promise, please"A dark ghost of a smile tugged at the corner of his lips. I couldn't believe how all this was amusing to him. "But as it was your first time, I'll let it slide, Natalya"A breath of relief escaped from my lips. "Thank you..."His eyes raked all over my face. "Next time, I won't be so tolerant with you. Do you understand?"I inhaled sharply and nodded."Words, Natalya!""Yes... I understand"Slowly, his grip on my hair loosened and then he let me go. He stepped back and put both of his hands in his pockets again. He walked backward until his back was against the wall."Freshen up"He just stood there and watched me as I got up from my bed, tugging my t-shirt down. His eyes slowly raked all over my body, I was completely aware of his scrutinizing gaze that burned in

  • The Alpha’s Rogue Mate   In pain

    My head...I woke up with a monster headache, I don't know what happened last night or why I was feeling this way. My eyelids had a ton of weight on them making it difficult for me to even open my eyes.I yawned and stretched my body. My lips were chapped, and my mouth had dried up. I groaned with the blinding headache before retreating under the covers.Why was the room so bright? Didn't I draw the curtains last night? I don't remember... I don't even remember how I got to my room and my bed."Natalya..." a deep voice resounded throughout my room.Someone said my name with such venom that I flinched in my sleep. It wasn't Scott, I knew that much. I prayed that it wasn't Alessandro. Please, don't be Alessandro. I don't think I can talk to him with so much weight over my head.Pushing aside everything I was feeling, I forced a droopy eyelid open.I propped up on my elbows and leaned my head against the soft headboard. I opened both of my eyes with such difficulty that it was so painful

    She got off the bed and I pushed her back over it. "Fucking sleep, you are too out of control""I need to change!"In a swift motion, she took off her fucking blue dress right in front of me. I froze in my spot, she had a body of a fucking goddess. I wanted to bury myself deep inside of her and fuck her till she can't fuck walk the next day.She was wearing blue bra and panties. The color perfectly contrasted with her porcelain skin. She was fucking drunk out of her mind and almost damn naked.My self-restraint was hanging by a fucking thread now. I better get a fucking raise by Alessandro for tolerating this shit.She got up and swayed to the bathroom. I instinctively followed that beautiful taut ass to the bathroom and watched as she turned the shower on and stood under it, her undergarments still on.My dick began to harden at the sight of her showering in her undergarments. I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned against the nearby wall, restraining myself from touching her.Th

    I pushed the blade further into his skin as blood poured out. He screamed, he fucking screamed in agony and fucking hell, it was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.Other than that little fucking whimper of hers.I hate it, I fucking hate babysitting her. Do I fucking look like a man that would babysit an nineteen year-old girl? She was not a fucking child. She was a fucking woman.You could only find tits and ass like that on a fucking woman.It took a lot of self-restraint to not fuck her on that fucking couch. To tell her what the fuck sex is. Fucking demonstrates that shit for her. I fucking wanted to wreck the purity that surrounded her all the fucking time.She has a face of an angel and the body of a devil. If she wasn't Alessandro's I would have taken her for myself. Shit! I should have taken her when I first saw her standing watching her father's dead body being lowered in the grave. That shit was arousing as hell.My attention snapped back to the man that has just bl

    The next thing I knew Scott hovered over me and look directly into my eyes. His weight pressed me into the couch. "You know I'm beginning to suspect if you are as innocent as you claim to be""Wh-what do you mean?" I asked as I turned my face to the side not looking him in the eyes.Then I felt something, it was his warm, rough hand skimming under my dress and working its way up the inside of my thighs. I closed my legs tightly as I felt his fingers kneading the skin on the inside of my thigh.I whimpered and struggled underneath him, whatever he was doing. It was wrong, so very wrong.He leaned in, and in... unless his nose was touching my cheek. He laughed against my skin and I closed my eyes, I don't know if I was afraid or having a heart attack or I was about to die but this all made me want to cry."You're gonna get me killed, you fucking temptation"And then the weight lifted off of me and bright lights fell on my eyelids again. I opened them and saw Scott standing by the couch,
