JilgueraOhh, Kalen was playing dirty. What do you think he'll say is his reason for bringing her there?

A mix of emotions flashed over Kalen’s face, all of them too quickly for me to read before his expression hardened.“I don’t allow anyone to take what belongs to me,” he says, then a hint of anger and maybe disgust sparked into his eyes. “Even if I don’t want it anymore.”I gasped, then flinched away from him, my eyes filling with tears. His admission sent pain through me. I stared off to the side, unable to believe that I really was just a thing to him. Something to own, hurt, use or abuse how he wanted. My feelings didn’t matter. That I was a person didn’t matter.Anger replaced the hurt. I wasn’t a thing, but a person! I looked back at Kalen and his expression of cold indifference. Jumping to my feet, I wanted to hit him, hurt him, make him show some kind of emotion. My hands curled into fists, shaking with my fury.Kalen laughed when he saw my expression. “Don’t waste your strength, Alyssa. You can’t do anything more to me, but piss me off and we both know what happens if you do.”

Startled, I turned and saw Thomas leaning in the doorway.“Admit it, Chelsie, she got you there.” He walked into the room, humor sparkling in his eyes. “Who knew you were so funny, Alyssa?” he said, grinning.Relief made me return his smile. “I was-” I started, but the woman, Chelsie, cut me off.“What are you doing, Thomas?” she demanded. “Why are you defending her? You realize she’s a pack bitch! They’re our enemy! Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with a pack bitch, Thomas!”At that moment, Kalen walked into the room and froze. His eyes darted around, falling on each one of us. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Thomas. Chelsie immediately rushed forward and clung to Kalen’s arm.“Alpha, she’s trying to seduce your people,” she said. “I came in here and found her practically throwing herself at Thomas instead of doing the work you ordered her to.”My eyes widened and Thomas wore a similar expression of shock.“Alpha-” Thomas started to say when Kalen glared at him.“Save it,” he sn

I spent more time than I should wondering what might be going on with Kalen. I’ve never seen anyone whose eyes change like his does. So far they’ve gone from near black to an icy blue. Maybe that was a rogue thing. I shook my head. Out of the things that were my problem, Kalen and his eyes weren’t even on the list. Instead, I focused on sorting the documents.It was late by the time I finished. When I stood up from my chair, I stumbled, feeling a bit dizzy. I took a moment to steady myself, and decided before going to my new room in the pack house, I decided to take a bit of fresh air.Stepping outside, I closed my eyes and let the cool night air wash over me. The chilly bite of the air helped my head clear and some of the tension eased. When I opened my eyes, I saw Thomas walking up to me with a girl, maybe twelve or thirteen, with him.“Hey, everything, alright?” Thomas asked.“Yeah, just getting a bit of air. What about you? You’re out late,” I replied.“Since I was stuck training t

“I’ve been doing what you asked. Only now did I finish,” I told Kalen, irritated and unsure at the same time. I’d never seen him drunk before.“Liar,” Kalen spat out at me.Anger filled me. “It takes one to know one.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“It means you’re not a paragon of truth either, Kalen,” I told him, tired of him throwing accusations at me when he believed Carl and all that he said instead of me.“What is it you want, Kalen? Because it seems everything I do just seems to piss you off, so what the hell do you want?”“I don’t want anything from you,” Kalen said, his tone sharp and barking. He took a step towards me. “I already own you, Alyssa.”“So very caveman of you,” I said, rolling my eyes.“Is that what you like, Alyssa?” he said, and suddenly grabbed me and pulled me against him.“You want to be pushed around and dominated?” Kalen now grabbed my face, forcing me to look at him.“Kalen, what are you doing? Let me-” His lips crashed down on mine in a bruising kiss. Sh

Kalen’s PoVThe warmth of the morning sun dragged me from sleep, and I frowned, glancing at the window as I sat up. Morning already? I hadn’t slept through the night like this since the war began. Even stranger, I felt no tension, no haunting dreams--just a rare calm. My wolf was quiet, neither growling nor demanding control. For once, I actually felt…good.“Good, you’re awake,” a soft voice purred, and I felt Chelsie’s hand slide over my shoulder and down my chest, her bare skin pressed against my back.Shock ran through me, forcing me fully awake now. “What?” I demanded, pushing her hand off me. I got up from the bed, only to realize I was also naked.Chelsie smirked, a glint of mischief in her eyes as she admired me. Her gaze heated. I grabbed my clothes, which lay scattered on the floor, and started dressing.“Last night was wonderful, Kalen,” Chelsie purred, using my first name. It sent a wave of anger through me, but then her words caught up to me and my stomach sank.“Last night

I forced myself not to look at Kalen, even though Chelsie draped over him like she belonged there. I should have known what happened last night was all a lie. When I left Kalen’s room, I’d repeated it to myself over and over so I wouldn’t forget. What happened wasn’t real. Whatever had come over Kalen was just a passing thing, maybe even a trick. Watching him let that shallow blonde idiot cling to him. It seemed more likely he’d just wanted to manipulate me, to prove he could.But knowing that didn’t make it hurt less. Why could I still feel this much pain?Gritting my teeth, I approached them with a tray of food and drink. Chelsie shot me a smug, self-satisfied smirk, her heavily painted lips curling with contempt. “Just leave it there, servant,” she said, waving me off like I was beneath her notice.Kalen’s gaze flicked up to meet mine, but his eyes were cold and distant—a stark contrast to everything I’d seen in them last night. Chelsie leaned closer to him, her fingers tracing his

“Thomas, please,” I begged, feeling his hands tightened around my neck. “Listen to my voice. Remember me. I’m Alyssa, your friend. Wake up, Thomas.”Thomas didn’t let me go, but his grip didn’t tighten. Keeping my tone even and calm, I said, “That’s it. Just keep listening to me.”The sounds of people rushing towards us broke the silence of the forest. A moment later, Kalen and several others burst out of the brush and trees. Kalen’s eyes scanned the area, then fell on Thomas and me. His eyes darkened to a deep blue as a wild fury glowed in them. “Get your hands off her,” he demanded. His voice was a gruff roar echoing through the trees, making several birds take flight.Startled, Thomas jerked, spinning me around and yanking me close with his arm tight around my neck, one hand twisted painfully in my hair. “You won’t take me alive!” he shouted, wild-eyed.Kalen snarled, taking a step forward, but Thomas only tightened his hold, making me wince in pain. Kalen’s expression promised viol

Kalen’s PoVI ran, well, more like sprinted through the woods, trying to sweat out the last remnants of anger, anxiety, jealousy and fear coursing through me. Yet, I couldn’t get the image of Thomas’ hands round Alyssa’s neck, squeezing the life out of her or the one where she threw herself at him to protect him from me. Why was she so eager to give herself to anyone that wasn’t me? Shaking my head, I tried to get rid of the question and all these emotions that weren’t doing me any good.Exhausted, I headed back. I took a shower, then went to meet Jack for our meeting. “What do you have for me?” I asked as I sat down in my chair.“Thomas is fine. No lasting damage,” Jack replied. “Though he is desperate to make sure Alyssa knows he’s sorry.”Despite that, I knew I hit him hard that day since my wolf took me over for a moment. I worked my jaw, jealousy still filling me. “Did he say what he was doing with her?” I tried to keep the bitterness out of my voice.Jack looked a little uncomfor

I shook out my fur once I finished shifting. I growled at the woman and stared towards her when Kalen stepped between us.“Remember the child,” Kalen said to me, but he kept his eyes are on the woman. When he spoke again, he was speaking to her. “You aren’t going to escape us. If you run, she’s going to chase you down, and I’ll be right behind her, but not before I yell to the others. Among those others include the rogue king. Now, why don’t you do the best thing, hand the child to me and we can all end this day unharmed.”The woman’s lips curled into a sneer, her grip tightening on the baby in her arms. “No, she’s mine,” the woman insisted again. “James said she was mine now.” I could feel my claws itching to extend, my wolf straining against the reins I barely managed to hold. The child’s scent, innocent, vulnerable, mixed with the sharp tang of fear, and it was all I could do to keep from lunging at the woman and tearing her apart.Kalen didn’t flinch, his voice calm but steel-edge

I leaned against the tree, my arms crossed over my chest, with Kalen next to me. He paced back and forth nervously. We were far enough from the building to be safe, but close enough to see whoever came out.It had taken the lycan king’s trackers and the rogue scouts two more days to finish their intel on the place. While I couldn’t go inside with them, Kalen’s father let me go with the team. That was good enough for me, or it was until I heard the fighting. The rogue king had made it very clear this morning. I was not allowed to set a single foot inside that building.The distant guttural growls echoed through the woods, sending a chill down my spine. I clenched my fists, forcing myself to stay rooted to the spot. Kalen’s pacing quickened, his boots crunching against the frost-covered ground.“They’ve got it under control,” he muttered, though the tremor in his voice betrayed his doubt.I didn’t respond. My ears strained to pick up every sound from the skirmish going on inside the bui

I stepped out of the shower and dried myself off. Danielle had finally started moving on from meditation and we began doing some exercises. I didn’t know if it was because of the baby or because I was out of shape, but I found it all exhausting.When I stepped out of the shower, I saw Kalen sitting on the bed. As soon as he saw me, he stood. “Hey, Dad says he has an update for us.”“Really?” I said, unable to hide my excitement. “Where is he?”“He’s waiting for us in the office,” Kalen replied, and I swear I heard a hint of excitement in his voice, too.I followed him out of the room and into what I had thought was Kalen’s office. His father sat behind the desk, looking over the papers. “We’re here,” Kalen said as we walked inside.The rogue king looked up and nodded at us with a small smile on the edge of his mouth. “We’ve found a building that looks like it’s one of James’ safe houses, and the scouts seem to think there is a good chance Caden is being held there.” “Really? What did
The Luna's Rogue Chapter 72
As soon as I arrived back at the rogue encampment, Kalen’s father called a meeting. We all met in what once was Kalen’s office, though it seemed it was more like his father’s now. “So how did it go?”“You can expect the lycan king’s best trackers in a few days to help look for James,” I told them, enjoying the shocked expressions on everyone’s faces.“He agrees to help?” the rogue king asked, giving me now a strange speculative look. “How did you do it?”“Honestly, I’m not sure myself. All l did was call him out and his childish grudges and power plays,” I replied with a shrug.The room fell silent for a moment, the weight of my words hanging in the air. Kalen’s father, the rogue king, leaned back in the chair that used to be his son’s, steepling his fingers as his sharp gaze pinned me in place.“You called him out?” he repeated, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “And that worked?”“That would work,” Kalen’s mom said with a small smile. “He usually respects honesty…tho

A wave of relief washed over Adelaide and Thomas’ face when I joined them in the main room again. Before they could ask, I said, “Let’s find our rooms for the night.”Thomas nodded and look over at the others waiting as well. “Let’s go. We’re in the east wing tonight. Pair up and we’ll meet here, bright and early,” he told the others, and they followed me up an enormous staircase and took the hall to the right.Once we were in a room, Adelaide took a seat in a chair. “So what happened? What did he say? Did he listen? Is he going to help?”I laughed and took a seat next to her. “Short version is, I don’t know if he’ll help. He’ll probably tell me tomorrow, hopefully,” I replied.“And the long version?”“To start with, the king tried to pull the same old tricks he did when Kalen and I met him last time. He tried to bribe me if I could get Kalen to betray his father and be loyal only to him,” I said, and Adelaide’s disgusted look matched my own.Thomas sighed and shook his head. “Then wh
The Luna's Rogue Chapter 70
The lycan king’s eyes blazed with anger, but I kept talking. If I was going to get myself in trouble, I might as well make it worth it. “I know I am no one, but shouldn’t a king’s job be to protect his people, make sure they’re happy, healthy and working together for the benefit of the whole?”The king worked his jaw and slowly nodded. “Ideally, yes.”“Well, that’s not how the packs are working,” I told him, crossing my arms. “Almost every single alpha is some version of a tyrant. I’ve seen insecure alphas who’d snap at anyone who might suggest their not powerful, misogynistic asses who seemed more concerned with creating a harem of lunas than actually being alpha, then you have the ones that can only prove their powerful by stepping on the ones beneath them, the ones that they were supposed to protect.”“What is the point of this?” the king demanded, his voice slightly growly.I held his gaze, refusing to flinch at the edge in his voice. “The point,” I said, my tone steady but sharp,
The Luna's Rogue Chapter 69
The rogue king sent six of his wolves, along with Adelaide and Thomas with me to meet the Lycan King. The closer we got to the meeting point, a hunting lodge in the middle of nowhere, I was getting more than a little nervous. “Don't worry, you got this,” Thomas said, giving me I guess what was supposed to be a reassuring smile.“He's right,” Adelaide agreed. “The king wouldn't send you here if he didn't think you could do it.”“You're right,” I said with a smile that was only mostly forced. The king also believed a slap on the wrist was enough for his misdeeds. Yet James was running amuck, so I didn't put much stock into what the king believed. “Let's do this.”We arrived almost at the same time as the lycan king did. To my surprise he came in person. &ldqu

My throat closed as I processed what Kalen told me. To witness meaningless death like that and not be able to do anything about it.. everything he did made a little more sense now. However, that made me think about the here and now. “What happened?”Kalen looked at me, confused. “What do you mean, what happened? When?”“What happened to make you change?” I asked. “You aren’t as tense or angry. I don’t believe it’s just your wolf calming down.”He didn’t answer me at first. Kalen seemed pensive for a long moment, then said, “I broke the pendants of your necklace.” Now, I was confused. I know him breaking them devastated me, but why would that make him suddenly change?Seeing my confusion, Kalen explained, “My anger took me over at that moment, causing me to make assumptions without actually thinking about them and I broke something that was so dear to you, it physically hurt you to lose it. As any sane, logical person would’ve done, you left. That moment the haze of anger disappeared,
The Luna's Rogue Chapter 67
Once Kalen and I were alone, he handed me a folder. “This is the report we have on your father,” he said, a look of guilt on his face. “Sorry. I am so sorry, Alyssa. From the beginning I should’ve told you, but… I didn’t want to give you a mysterious tragedy. Instead, I wanted to…” he sighed and shrugged. “I wanted to play the hero. Find the one responsible, punish him, then deliver his head to you… I know how stupid that is now.”Taking the folder from him, I nodded. “I appreciate the thought, Kalen. I really do, but you made me feel like an idiot. Like someone, no one feels the need to take it seriously. Just a toy to lay claim, play with when someone felt like it, then put me on the shelf until they’re bored again. You have no idea how demanding and dehumanising that is.”Kalen winced, his shoulders slumping as if the weight of my words pressed down on him. “You’re right,” he said quietly, his voice tinged with regret. “I was wrong to treat you that way. You deserved the truth from
