Kalen pinned me to the wall, one hand held me by my neck and the other pressed against the wall. His face was mere inches from mine as he accused me of trying to get men’s attention. The pain immediately hit my nerves and left me breathless. My bruised ribs didn’t like Kalen’s rough treatment of me.“Let me go,” I demanded. “You’re hurting me! I have no idea what you’re talking about? I am not doing anything but what you told me.” Placing my hands on his shoulders, I tried to push him back, but he didn’t move an inch.“Don’t play dumb with me,” he growled. “I saw him with you!”What? Was all this about that man who helped me? I swear Kalen almost sounded jealous, but that couldn’t be right. “Thomas?” I said in disbelief. As soon as I said his name, Kalen growled, and his eyes darken.Anger filled me. I was getting tired of men jealously treating me like a thing they owned, and didn’t want anyone else playing with. “Get off me,” I demanded, and tried to push him back again, but he was s

I woke up with a scream. Sweat peppered my entire body. Panic seized me until I recognized the room I was in. It was a storage room in the rogue servants’ building. They refitted it into a bedroom for me to stay in. My nightmares kept the other servants awake, so they moved me to this room to avoid bothering them.Since Carl admitted to what he had done, I had nightmares of Caden’s cries. Every night, I try to get to him before Carl, and every night I fail and can’t save my son. Then I must watch as Carl hurts him and snuffs out his precious life. It all felt so real that my heart was nothing but a gaping, bleeding wound that won’t heal.Setting my feet on the cold cement floor, I leaned forward and buried my hands in my hair. I took a few deep breaths. I felt like I was going to be sick. My chest still hurt, but no longer was it on the side, but more in the middle. I closed my eyes and searched deep inside me.‘Maddie,’ I called out mentally, trying to call out to my wolf. She took my

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

It didn’t take us long to prepare to leave for the lycan king’s territory. At this point, I stopped unpacking my travel bags. It seemed like every week; I was heading off to somewhere new. Travel was uneventful. However, when we arrived, there was a thread of tension in the air that I didn’t like. “Anyone else feel that, or is it just me?” I whispered to the others as they escorted us to the lycan king.“No, I feel it,” Kalen replied.“It’s to be expected,” his father said, his tone soft. “It was practically last week we were enemies in the middle of a war. I’d be more worried if there wasn’t any tension.”“Yes, it would feel like a trap otherwise,” Danielle replied. “But the people’s tension isn’t our concern. It’s my father whose reaction matters.”“Indeed,” the lycan king said, emerging from a room to our left, surprising all of us. “It seems the entire rogue community has come to my doorstep.” He gave Kalen’s father a disapproving look.“Father,” Danielle said, giving that look ri

Kalen and I didn’t go back to the communal building. Instead, we went for a walk outside. We didn’t say anything as we walked for a while. Kalen still had a pensive look on his face. The air was crisp, carrying the scent of damp earth and pine. The sun shone down above us, the warm light reflecting in Kalen’s distant eyes. He had been quiet for too long.“What’s bothering you now?” I asked him as we walked.Kalen exhaled sharply through his nose, like he’d just remembered I was there. “Bothering? Nothing,” Kalen said, then added, “and I mean it this time.”“Then why do you look like your brain is going a mile a minute?”“Oh, I’m thinking, just not about my mistakes or anything like that.”I gave him a curious look. “Okay,” I said, drawing out the word. “That’s not cryptic at all.”He laughed and grinned at me. “Just thinking that all those things you said to Lena weren’t exactly lies.”Still very confused, I asked again, “What do you mean?”Kalen reached out and took my hand in his as

“Well done,” the rogue king said as soon as I left the interrogation room.“Agreed,” Danielle said. “You pushed, but didn’t go too far, used her weaknesses subtly. If you want it, I’d say you could have a bright future in investigative work.”“Thanks,” I said, and just because I wanted to be sure, I asked the king, “I didn’t overstep with the lies about you and all that, did I?”It was Danielle who replied before the king could so much as open his mouth. “The point of an investigation is to get answers by… almost any means necessary.”The king nodded. “Yes, and we’re aware you’re not one for grandstanding or entitlement.”Relief filled me and also a little surprise. While they were right, I didn’t expect them to know that. “Great, thanks.”Danielle offered me a smile and patted my arm as the king said, “I’ll give this information to my people and see what we can do with it.”They started to leave, and I stopped them, asking, “What are you going to do with her?”“What we usually do wit

I stood outside the room with Kalen and his parents. “She’s given us nothing, really,” the rogue king explained. “She claims that James simply introduced her to Carl. He seduced her, convinced her to leave the rogues and join him as his mistress. Lena swears she never worked for James or was involved in any plots. According to her, she is nothing more than a victim of poor judgement and circumstances.Danielle snorted and rolled her eyes as she crossed her arm. “Yeah, right.”“What she said,” I agreed. “She was never a victim.” I drummed my fingers on my thigh as I thought. “What if I go in and talk to her?”The king frown, looking confused. “What do you think you’d get from her that my people didn’t get?”“Something closer to the truth,” I replied. “I saw how she treated the people in Crimson Fang. She said things to me that I bet she wished she could take back now. In short, Lena can’t lie to me. Plus, I bet I can push a few buttons your people didn’t know how to or couldn’t push.”
The Luna's Rogue Chapter 80
We found Danielle and the trackers quickly and she promised us she’d get the news to her father, the lycan king, as soon as possible. Still, unease prickled at the back of my mind. We had to get to them before James did. Kalen suggested we keep ourselves busy. There was one place I could go to keep my mind off things, as I stayed busy. “Alright, I know just where to go. Follow me,” I told him.“This isn’t exactly what I had in mind,” Kalen said when I led him to the kitchen.“I know, but if you want to let off some stress and stay busy, there is no better place,” I replied. “Also, I think it would do you some good to serve for once.” Ignoring the look on Kalen’s face, I walked over to Marcel. “Got some extra hands if you need it,” I said as a way of introduction.He gave me a look and said, “I always need extra hands.” Marcel didn’t waste any time shoving a cutting board and a pile of vegetables in Kalen’s direction. “Start chopping. Even pieces, don’t mangle them.”Kalen stared at th
The Luna's Rogue Chapter 79
I sat at the large desk in the rogue king’s office with several papers in front of me. There were letters between Carl and James. I flipped through the pages, my fingers tightening around the edges as I read. Carl’s resentment against my father seeped through every carefully penned word. He spoke of betrayals, real or imagined, and of how he could do better if only given the chance.James’ responses were more measured, calculated even. He never outright encouraged Carl’s complaints, but fed Carl’s frustration with carefully placed questions and vague statements. It was manipulation at its finest, and Carl had walked right into it blindly. He ate up everything James gave him. Idiot.As much as the letters against my father angered me, the ones mentioning me were worse. He expressed his frustration at our friendship not becoming more, but there was one that was rather crude, talking about what he’d like to do to me. The casual way he wrote about me, as if I were some prize to be claimed
The Luna's Rogue Chapter 78
I moved slowly, mimicking Danielle’s movements. It had been days since we returned from the raid of the safe house. Training Kalen’s mom had gone from a couple times of a day to everyday now. Danielle claimed “if you’re going to get into the middle of everything, you should know how to defend yourself.”I wasn’t about to argue. No one was ever going to get the upper hand on me ever again, and I wasn’t going to stay out of the hunt for Caden. I knew that doing whatever Danielle told me was going to ensure that. She didn’t believe in going easy on me, despite my condition, which I loved. It seemed so many people around here wanted to treat me as if I was made of glass just because I was pregnant. Danielle pivoted on her heel and threw a sharp jab toward my side. I barely had time to react, stepping back and raising my arm to deflect, just as she taught me. But I was too slow. Her fist stopped inches from my ribs, and she arched a brow.“Dead,” she said flatly.I groaned. “I blocked!”“

“Ah, Alyssa, good, you’re here,” the doctor said as soon as he saw me. “Come sit down. I heard you shifted.”“Wow, nothing stays secret for long in his place,” I said as I sat down on the hard exam bed.“No, it doesn’t,” the doctor said with a smile. “With that said, I need to do a checkup and make sure everything is as it should be.”“Alright,” I replied, trying to sound casual, even though my stomach was doing flips. Shifting for the first time after such a long time was great, but I also felt like the rumor mill had now put a giant spotlight on me.The doctor grabbed a clipboard and started scribbling something down. “Any unusual sensations afterward? Fatigue? Nausea? Difficulty shifting back?”I shook my head. “Nope, everything felt... normal, if not great.”He nodded, adjusting his glasses. “Good. That’s a promising sign. Sometimes, after such a long period, shifting can cause issues, not to mention the fact you’re pregnant and suffering from poisoning.”I smiled faintly. He just
The Luna's Rogue Chapter 76
I sat on the floor with the baby Kalen, and I rescued. She seemed to be almost a year old, or at least old enough to almost be ready to take her first steps. Which I hoped she didn’t do until she was with her family. They shouldn’t miss such an important milestone. She giggled, clapping her tiny hands together as I handed her a wooden block to play with. Her laugh was like a fragile thread of hope amid all the terribleness of this war.The baby reached out and tugged on a strand of my hair, babbling. Her innocence was almost painful to witness in a world so full of danger. I gently pried her tiny fingers away and held her close, her warmth grounding me. Trying hard not to get attached to her, I reminded myself it wasn’t her I longed for and wanted to keep in my arms, but my child. I wanted Caden.Yet I couldn’t deny it. Around the little girl, both Maddy and I felt much more relaxed. Maddy… I couldn’t believe it. My wolf was back. She was finally back. We hadn’t talked about what happ
