The Rogue Alpha’s Claim Chapter 49
After her run-in with the non-so couple, Ariel wasn’t sure she had it in her to be friendly or social with anyone, and that was the reason she was making a u-turn and heading back to her room.She couldn’t help but lean in closer as she passed through Toby’s floor, and true to her suspicions, she could hear his mate screaming on top of her voice, and she was cringing.Now that she understood the concept behind mates, she could understand why Toby was reluctant to let her go. The lady was literally his soulmate—the only one for him.If he let her go, there was no guarantee he would see her again, and who even lets their soulmates go?She hoped that they would resolve it sooner; if not, she would try and extend a hand of friendship to his mate.It may help their relationship if they were friends.Ariel heaved a sigh of relief as she saw the sturdy brown door of Kane’s room—well, it is now theirs—and she entered, shutting the door behind herself.She dragged herself to the bed, not bothe

For the next few days, Ariel had made it a point to be very far away from Maddie—as far as they could be in the same house. It was obvious the lady hated this place, and she wasn’t going to add to her stress.She had confronted Toby on the issue, and she hadn’t expected the answer he had given her. It happened when she was on her way out, and she bumped into Toby.“I think your mate hates me.” Ariel was telling him, but Toby had broken into a short laugh, which had instantly vanished as he saw the look on her face.“Why do you say so?”“Apart from the fact that she has expressed this several times, she also has a crazy notion that there is something romantic going on between us.”“It is just typical Maddie, but it is nothing personal. She hates everyone, and this place is not helping either.”Ariel nodded her head, although she wasn't sure she could understand what he was trying to say. “How can I help? I understand I am the Luna now, and the pack’s concern is my concern, and I would

“Do you have to go?” Ariel whined as she helped Kane pack a bag for his journey—or would she call it a satchel?“We have gone over this, and it is very necessary that I go. And I am also scouting for a beta.”“I don’t know why you are against the idea of making Maddie the beta. I am sure she will do a good job.” Ariel rolled her eyes.“We have been over this love. Maddie is not going to be the beta, and I don’t want us to have an issue over this. Besides, I am not only scouting for a beta; there are some things I need to do too.”“But why?” Ariel sighed, jutting her lips out in a pout and widening her eyes to give those puppy eyes, but Kane took one look at her, and he shook his head.“You know those don’t work for me again?”Ariel rolled her eyes, angry that her tactics couldn’t work for him any longer. “What will happen to us now?”“This isn’t our first rodeo, Ariel, and this trip is actually important. We need money to maintain the pack and complete the new project that is ongoing.
The Rogue Alpha’s Claim Chapter 52
Maddie had been training for an alpha; well, she obviously had the skill it took to be considered one, and all her training had been centered on being alert.It was not surprising that she was the first to notice the strange happenings around the mansion. She has been trained to rely on her senses more than anything.That was why, when her ears prickled from the rustle of the leaves far away, she knew that trouble was looming. But it was too late; no sooner as she stood up to alert them of the impending doom, the explosive device struck the wall with a loud thud before detonating.Screams went off as the blast ripped through the air, shattering windows and sending shards of glass raining down inside the room.“Ariel!” Voices yelled for their Luna, but it was drowned out by the noise of another explosion, occurring almost simultaneously. The sound of the detonation echoed through their surroundings, their ears ringing from the sound that followed.Ariel stood with wobbly knees, her bo

Meanwhile, back upstairs, the battle was just getting started. No sooner had Ariel gone down to hide did they hear another bang on the door and the wooden entrapment burst open, flying off a far range like it was a light board.But Maddie was ready.She may not have taken this pack as her pack yet, but it was her mate’s pack, and she had a responsibility towards Toby, no matter how much she didn’t want the bond.She has been hearing their footsteps, and she counted about seven of them—a huge mistake on their part.There was no doubt in her heart that someone had leaked the information that the men had gone away, leaving the women, but they had no idea that the women they had left behind were warriors, save for a few.It was going to be an easy win, and Maddie’s lips curled up in a hint of a smile.Her blood was already pumping from the adrenaline that was coursing through her system. It had been long since she let out her animalistic side, and she had been wanting to beat up someone.

Maddie looked down at the crumpled remains of their leader, and she gave an eye signal to the wolves around, and they shifted almost immediately and rounded up all the men, holding a knife to their throats.Maddie shifted to her powerful lean frame, not at all ashamed of her skin, but the men turned bright red at her, and they slowly peeled her eyes away from her body.Maddie cleared her throat, and she tucked her arms inside herself, standing taller and prouder as she looked at the men. “As you can see, your leader is dead, even though he put up a good fight.” And just for effect, Maddie kicked his body, satisfied when it moved a few feet.He had long shifted into a human after he kicked the bucket, and if they weren’t enemies, she would have admitted that he was a fine man.“You can either turn yourselves in and we will not harm you, or you could continue to prove difficult, and we will not hesitate to cut down on every one of you. Your choice.”The men all looked at one another; th

And wait, they did.The first thing they had done was round up the people that had remained. They had lost four women to the fight, and it took everything in Ariel not to puke as she saw their battered bodies.They had wrapped them in Saran Wrap, and Ariel monitored them closely as they went out and conducted a proper burial for them.They had buried them in the spacious garden in the back yard, and as they lowered them to the ground, Ariel couldn’t help the overflowing tears.She had failed her pack and, most especially, Kane.How was she going to face him when he came?“Hmmm.” Ariel shivered as she felt a weight on her shoulders, and she turned her head to the side to see Liza squeezing her shoulders. Her eyes were still moist and reddened from all the crying.“It will be fine.” Liza whispered to her, Luna, trying to give her comfort, but even she didn’t believe her words.“Luna? Psst, Luna, you have to make a speech.” Someone tapped Ariel on her back, and her mouth opened in a sile

“Ariel?”A voice echoed from the figment of her imagination, and Ariel shook her head, adjusting herself to sleep well.She had been thinking of Kane so much that she was imagining his voice.She had made a promise to herself that she was never going to let him go when she next saw him, if she saw him.“Ariel?” The voice was a lot closer than before, and Ariel turned her head in time to see her mate running towards her.She didn’t give it any thought as she flung the cup of coffee she had been cradling, and she was running towards him.“Kane.” Ariel cried out as she collided into him, wrapping her legs around him. The force of her jump made him stagger a little, but Kane was quick to regain his momentum, and he held her tight.“Ariel.”“Kane.” Her voice croaked as she called his name, and she wrapped her hands around his neck tight enough to dispel every doubt she had. He was real and in the flesh.“You are back.” She sighed into his neck, and she angled her face to his neck, taking a

As Ariel stood in the makeshift raised platform that had been constructed in the balcony, staring into the eyes of her mate, she could see nothing but love.All of the moments that brought them here had been a conscious effort on their part, and going for therapy had been a major factor.The first few weeks had been awkward as neither of them was ready to pour out their hearts open, and they had been going around in circles, but they finally broke when the therapist had asked Kane a question.“Is there anything you would like to say to Ariel but you are afraid it will hurt her?”Kane had hesitated at first, his eyes darting to his mate, and he shook his head for a No, there was something about the way Ariel was looking at him, and he didn’t know when he began to talk.“You always act before you think. Most times, you do things that put yourself at risk, not considering people around you, and when it starts getting back, you pull away, leaving us to clean up the mess.”“It is a lie.” Ar

Ariel started devising a plan immediately after she got to her room. Kane had been trying to prove stubborn, but he had no idea she was a greater force to contend with.Ariel was determined to let bygones be bygones and focused on the future, but Kane seemed to think she was still holding onto the pass, and she was determined to prove him wrong.She began by packing a few essentials she was going to need for the night, and she stuffed them in a tote bag. She peeped inside, making sure everything she needed for a sleepover was there, and she nodded her head in satisfaction.Then she picked up the bag, hanging it on her shoulder, and she made for the door. Now outside the door, she let her nose guide her, and she began to look for Kane’s scent.The man had continued to prove stubborn, so drastic times call for drastic action.Ariel was able to trace the scent to the room at the end of the hall, and she held the doorknob, pushing it gently, and a sigh of relief left her as it gave way—gr

Ariel slumped on the bed as she got to her room, the rejection too much for her to bear. She wanted to bury herself in the mattress if it meant never to face him.The rejection had stung so much that she couldn’t believe it.But she had brought it upon herself.This was the least she deserved after the way she had treated him, but that didn’t soothe the ache in her chest.She began to replay all that she had said to him, her pity excuse to get him back, and she was cringing hard, but thinking of it now, therapy seems to be a good idea.Their relationship was founded in lies and deceit; although she couldn’t deny their sexual chemistry, their bond was shaky, and there are so many things that were wrong, and if given the chance, she would want to start afresh.With that determination surging in her veins, Ariel picked up her phone, clicking on the message app, and composing a short text to Maddie. The girl knew whatever was happening in the werewolf world, so there was no doubt she woul

Ariel didn’t wait to see if Kane was going to listen to her; she had decided to take law into her hands, and she grabbed him by his hands and began to pull him away.But she was met with little resistance as he dug his heel on the floor, refusing to follow her, and she turned to look at him, a challenge in her eyes. Goddess, help her; she could claim him right now if he continued like this.There was a twinkle in Kane’s eyes as he understood what she was trying to convey, and he allowed himself to be led by hand until they got to the comfort of his office and she dropped his hands.Ariel tucked her arms in each other, and she fastened her eyes on him, with a look that could burn, but Kane was immune to all this, and he looked at her, although the sides of his mouth tugged up in a small smile.“What were you doing with her?” Ariel demanded, hoping her jealousy didn’t shine through. But who was she kidding? When it comes to Kane, she seems to lose all her senses. “What did you say that

Ariel woke up the next morning with a scowl on my face, annoyed by the sleepless night. She was practically turning and tossing on the bed until it was dawn.She made sure to avoid all of the mirrors or anything that could show her reflection, as she didn’t need to know how horrible she looked.No doubt, there were huge eye bags in her eyes and horrible dark circles, but she refused to care; instead, she splashed water in her eyes and made for downstairs.Her heart lifted as she perceived the scent of pine cones and oranges, and she quickened her pace, hoping she would just get a glimpse of him.But it was just his scent that lingered as he was long gone, and her face fell even more. However, Ariel managed to slap a smile on her face as the pack began to greet her.There was no need to let them know that their leaders were not on speaking terms; instead, she settled on her seat and waited for the food to come while she was scanning for familiar faces.Her eyes met with Liza, and she r

Ariel stared outside the window, the world now at peace as the snow had ceased falling, but she failed to notice the vibrant hues of the sky or the gentle quietness of the morning. Her mind was still consumed with the thoughts of her mate.The pain in his voice was something she couldn’t stand, and she only had herself to blame. What they had shared last night had been mutual, and she had enjoyed every moment of it, but she had allowed her fears to push him away.Ariel cringed as she recalled the word he had called himself. How could she even face him now?And the things he said about her father? It had to be a lie; her father would never do that. At least from the glimpse she had seen of him, he seemed like a good man.She ran her head through her finger several times in frustration.Yet she couldn’t shake the feeling of guilt that settled at the pit of her stomach. He had done everything she had accused him of, and he was also a murderer. If there was anyone that was going to be ang

When Ariel woke up, it was to streaming sunlight from the window slit, the chirping of birds as they sang sweetly in their trees, and her lips curled in a lazy smile, but the smile was quick to fade when she shifted on the bed, and she was met with restriction.A heavy arm encircled her waist, and her ass was painfully close to someone’s crotch, and the hard appendage was poking her ass cheeks. She was feeling a suspicious amount of breeze and freedom in her body.Ariel raised the sheet that had been covering her and looked inside, and she was right. She was stark naked on the bed, and the arm that was swung around her was none other than Kane.She wasn’t one to jump to conclusions, but from the tingles she was still feeling and the delicious soreness in her body, she had no doubt that something had gone down between them, but that didn’t put her to ease one bit.This wasn’t what she wanted.She had thought she could bear the consequences when the morning came, but she was only filled

The tears weren’t stopping anytime soon, no matter how she tried, and it was only pouring down from her eyes. She had cried so much that she had even forgotten the reason she was crying.But she had never felt so pathetic.After everything and all the promises never to go back here, she was back in Kane’s pack and even taking on the role of a Luna; her parents must be rolling in their graves seeing her frolicking with the enemy, and the thoughts pained her.Nothing could improve her mood, and she remained gloomy throughout the day and had laid down on the bed, just feeling pathetic for herself.And somehow, time had run until the door slowly opened and Kane entered inside.“Ariel.” He growled as he stepped inside, marching towards where she lay. “I thought we had gone over this before; I don’t care what happened between us, but you are not going to starve yourself.”Ariel rose up her head to look at him, and Kane caught sight of her red eyes, and he was rushing to her side.“Ariel, wh

The next morning, Kane was gone before she could open her eyes, although she had heard his footsteps as he got dressed, and she opened her eyes in the dark, watching his movement.And when he left, Ariel closed her eyes again, trying to sleep, and this time when she woke up, she was greeted by bright sunlight streaming from the window. Ariel sat up, moving towards the window as if enchanted, and she just stared outside, marveling at the beautiful sight in front of her.She closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath, and inhaled in the clean air, a sharp contrast to when she was in Blue Ridge. Then she slowly exhaled, all of her troubles floating away like the air.It was almost breakfast, and she knew the pack would be gathering downstairs to eat, and Ariel knew she could no longer avoid them.She hurried to the bathroom, splashing water on her face, and she quickly brushed her teeth. When she was through, Ariel got dressed in a light blue dress that stopped above her knees, and she ran
