The Rogue & The Rose Settling Nothing
Ty found Rose in the kitchen unpacking a box frantically. “Hey, you’re here with me. Talk to me.” He came to stand directly behind her and took a bag of utensils from her and dropped them on the counter. Then wrapped her in his arms. “I know he hates me. I always thought he hated me because I was what made my mother leave. Now, you tell me he had her killed because I was born a girl? Am I understanding this right or am I wrong?” “I don’t know Rose. Not for sure, but if he’s trying to profit your indenture or kill you off, then I’ll gladly take you off his hands. Gods, I don’t know a worse monster. I can’t even think of how a monster like him comes into being. Your mother, from what I remember, was sweet and kind. I remember her sugar cookies were the best.” “She baked?” Rose turn then and buried her face in his shirt as she cried. “I didn’t realize you knew her.” “A little. I was small, remember? But I have a lot of vague memories of people. I remember your p

“Should we go find them? Make sure they are, okay?” Jules wasn’t sure if Ty found Rose. “I don’t believe they want to be disturbed. We’ll consider them busy.” “Doing wh… oh… that.” Just the thought of the act made Jules twitch excitedly in strategic places. “I think I’m jealous. Too bad you have to oversee this event. I think they have the right idea.” Jules stood behind him, caressing his butt. He clenched in response, which made his pants tighter, and he now needed to do something about it. “You were yelling at me earlier for taking you without a condom. Babe, if we do it again, we’ll do it the same way.” “It’s a little late to think about it now. We might as well enjoy while we can.” He turned around and then found her hands on his crotch. “Fine, but we aren’t going to be the pack’s entertainment. Come with me.” He took her to the tree line and leaned her against a tree trunk, away from the eyes of the curious pack. “You like th

“So? When are you going to tell me if you intend to kill my father? Or do you plan on doing something else with him? I mean, you claim that he’s stolen your pack. Aren’t there two sets of rules for this?” Rose sat on the deck of the packhouse now and watch the man who was now her mate. Gods, what a mess this was. “There are two ways to deal with this. As it stands, I can’t take this to the Ruling Council. The evidence we have doesn’t point to your father directly enough. He could walk away from it by saying he was stewarding the pack and guarding the town for me until my return. Then he’d never be punished for the deaths that have occurred. Jules’ father probably would be thrown under the bus in that case to take the blame for killing them. Your father has the excuse that he knew nothing about it, and I was just a pup. Too young to understand what a tragic accident it was for my father’s death. Your mother? Well, he’s already said he doesn’t know what happened to the

Anita tucked the pack of gum back into her bra. She’d be glad when this spying was over and done with. She was sick of pretending to enjoy being pawed by Russell. But it was an end to a means. She didn’t need to pretend to love the ugly jerk. Anita just needed to keep him away from his daughter. So far, her curves were enough to keep him occupied. The wolf was sick, but he thought he hid it well. Sick in the head, that is. Not ill physically. He liked freaky sex, and he liked it often. Russell didn’t play, but he loved to dominate his lovers. He had to feel in control all the time. Right now, he wanted her with him. By the sound of his gruff voice on the phone. He’d had a bad day. Anita had to pretend she didn’t know that his daughter ran away with the nephew of the Blue Delia Pack’s Alpha. Which for Anita eased her mind. The girl was safe from her father’s schemes. Anita was the one who’d recorded and witnessed Russell’s plans to sell his daughter to a stranger. A s
Last Updated : 2022-07-23The Rogue & The Rose Rose Sees Her Father’s Greed
Rose watched Ty with his pack as he instructed them on what his wishes were. He’d been very careful with how he wanted them to conduct themselves in town. They were to expect trouble and to be followed. His people were to avoid bringing any tails home with them. By using the back roads and backtracking on their trails. They knew the ways to fool the lazy country bumpkins. She’d need to talk to Ty about the way he spoke of the pack he wished to take control of. If they were lazy country bumpkins, then why would he want to take control of the pack? Later, he explained he didn’t see the pack as lazy or bumpkins. He saw her father and his men. That, she admitted, made more sense, as her father and his men didn’t do much of anything for the pack. She felt horrible right now because the pack didn’t have anyone to take her place and help them fix their problems. Rose was the one that dealt with the day-to-day issues. She kept the lights on and the food coming in.
Last Updated : 2022-07-23The Rogue & The Rose Ben Gets Jules to Accept
Jules was struggling with the entire idea of mating. She’d seen what mating did to her father. Her mother fled from him. She was sure it was because of how he changed after mating. No wait. That’s not what Tyler claimed. He claimed she was dead. It explained why she could find no trace of her mother. The very thought made her want to cry. She may not have known her mother, but she wanted to. No, she needed to know her. This was part of what bonded her friendship with Rose. They both grew up with fathers who couldn’t stand to look at them, and missing mothers. There weren’t even pictures of their mothers around the packhouse. Now Ben expected her to accept him as the one and only male in her life. She was used to finding her entertainment wherever she wanted and with whoever. This meant she controlled the encounters from beginning to end. That’s what Jules liked. Now he had a say in every aspect of her life. Gods. This was a mess. Her mind kept getting side

“Ty, we need to do something. Russell’s harassing people in town. He’s sure they’re hiding out the location from him.” Ben came back with a couple of the guys from a grocery run to the next town over, along with other chores. This is what he found out when he stopped by the post office to pick up the mail. “The postmaster was being harassed when I got there by a couple of Russell’s men. They think she’s hiding from him.” Rose stood in the hallway outside of the kitchen, listening in. Her heart was in her throat. Her father was still looking for her. When would he stop? He never cared before this, so why now? Did he have a buyer for her? She wouldn’t become a slave to anyone. The urge to run and run far away was a struggle for her now. “Which is probably why there’s not a huge hunt for us. You’d think he’d have found our scent by now. Did you talk to Rose’s healer friend?” Ty changed the subject as they unpacked the groceries. Rose listened quietly, hating everything
Last Updated : 2022-07-25The Rogue & The Rose Jay Meets Heather
Heather sat at the reception desk in her father’s office. The morning was slow as molasses. She was bored. All the filing and billing were done. There were no referrals, appointment reminders, or requests for test pick ups to be made. All she was there to do was warm the seat in case someone arrived or called. Her father was in the back doing only the gods knew what. This was his day most days. The time came for her lunch, and she popped her head into her father’s office. He didn’t like her bothering him unless it was him talking to her. She was to be seen and not heard. For her, that was too old-fashioned. He’d let her develop her healing abilities, but he wouldn’t let her use them. That annoyed her like crazy because he wouldn’t tell her why. Heather could only think he saw her as a threat. She was a threat to his livelihood. He was the man of the house. His job gave him his status. If she practiced her healing skills on people, somehow, she stole that sta

The Rogue & The Rose Chapter 131–Epilogue
- 2 years later– “Hey that’s enough, you guys. If you don’t settle down, someone is going to get clawed and we’ll need to get Heather over here to patch you up. Then you won’t be able to go swimming until it heals. Do you want to sit in the bank while everyone else swims?” Frowned as she chastised several young pups and their poppas. The pack had grown in recent years, and they had a few pups to keep everyone on their toes. Gone were the days of beer on the patio and loud music at all hours of the night. They now had a second extension on the packhouse, and this included a large space to pack all the pups for naps and such. It wasn’t something that happened for humans, but in a pack; it was common for pups to bond with other pack close to their age. Growing up together, they either loved or hated each other. There wasn’t a third option, and sometimes the pups could vacillate between love and hate. But they were always pack. Rose’s boys were the eldest of th
The Rogue & The Rose Chapter 130-Rose Meets Her Father
Rose clutched Ty’s hand nervously as they entered the private restaurant. This place was for the elite of the shifter world, and it turned out to be run by Rose’s biologist father. This would be the first time they’d met. They talked on the phone, and that’s all. It had been hard for him. Because no one ever breathed the word about Lily, Rose’s mother’s death, or the fact that Rose existed. Lily was supposed to meet him once he got settled, but he couldn’t contact her after that. She wouldn’t or couldn’t take his calls. He couldn’t go back, not after what happened between Russell, Ethan, and himself. They’d gotten into a fight that now, years later, Alec suspected, was instigated by Russell. Lily had mated with Alec before Russell got his hands on her. But Alec insisted he knew nothing about Rose’s existence. He’d always held out hope that Lily lived and was happy. Now it saddened him to know how mistreated she’d been. Alec was the one that broke the
The Rogue & The Rose Chapter 129—Prison Break
Jack could feel Russell’s fist pounding on the inside of his mind. He couldn’t sleep anymore. If he did the Russell would take the wheel of Jack’s body. Jack was fine living the rest of his existence in a quiet cell alone. Russell wanted out. He wanted to burn the world as they knew it for his death and punishment. Russell also didn’t want to share Jack’s body. He wanted to own it. Russell wanted Jack to go permanently. Russell wanted to start by burning the prison and he wouldn’t hear that it would not be possible. The mages saw to that. Russell wanted to kill everyone around them. No, not just kill. He wanted to rape, tear, and mangle every single one. Jack witnessed every single gory image Russell shared with him. Even when he didn’t want to see it. Jack hated his life and the surrounding people. Sure, he did as Russell ordered for years, and sometimes he had fun with it. But Russell never showed him this side of him. If there was a monster in th
The Rogue & The Rose Chapter 128—Surprise
Ty received a text message from Rose as his truck rolled into town that morning. She asked him to pick up a package from the post office they wouldn’t deliver. This happened when the package was larger. He didn’t think much about it until the afternoon when he got to the post office and found it wasn’t one package. But several large packages. Along with the packages was a note for him to stop at the hardware store in town and pick up something there. Now Ty didn’t know what to make of this. It wasn’t something Rose did often. So Ty indulged her. At the hardware store, he found the order was for paint and supplies. He wasn’t sure what she planned to do or what room this was for. Then he was handed another note. This one had him going to the pharmacy and the grocery store to pick up things there, too. This was taking a while, and he was running out of the room in the back of the truck. Now he understood why she insisted he took it. But he didn’t think it was any
The Rogue & The Rose Chapter 127—Heath And Amber Break Up
Amber hadn’t learned a single lesson about what Heath wanted in life and she didn’t seem to care that Heath wasn’t happy.No, Heath knew he just wasn’t unhappy. He was miserable. Was this the fate he was dealt or was it entirely a mistake? Did he want a mate so badly that he took the first she-wolf that might be compatible? Was she even compatible? Heath didn’t know.With everyone around him so busy with all the changes and the work to fix things. It was difficult for him to find anyone to be a sane and good sounding board for him.That and he was embarrassed to mention how badly it was going between them. How did fate give him someone so controlling and selfish? She’s jealous of everything her friends have in their mates. Did she settle for him to feel like she was part of the group? Heath hated to think that way, but it was clear now that was what was happening, and he was a little sad.Deep down, he wanted it to work out, and they’d live a charmed life. But nothing seemed right for
The Rogue & The Rose Chapter 126—Parenting Never Too Late To Start
The fact that Bill arranged a ride to the healing centre the very next day, much too many people’s surprise. Mikey and Heather both worried he’d hold a grudge against Michael for competing with him and winning Mae. But when Bill realized Mae had a change of heart about accepting the rejection of their triad relationship. She’d been kidnapped and unable to communicate with anyone. That this was all complicated by external circumstances they couldn’t have controlled. Bill only wanted to know if it was too late for them to try again. Michael, on the other hand, crumbled at the sight of his other mate, leaving everyone stunned. He clung to Bill once he finished stating his interest in exploring the possibility of them exploring their relationship and bond. Mae’s healer had several questions and the three later sat down with the healer. He wanted to know several things. There were tests he wanted to perform. But he needed samples from all three. There was new research on the
The Rogue & The Rose Talking To Bill
Mikey and Jay finally finished up with their efforts and, with the results in hand, returned to the pack. Excited to tell everyone the news of what they’d found and achieved.When they got back to the healing center, Heather was there with her parents and all three faces looked hopefully toward the two wolves. Mikey had to admit, he felt like he was a conquering hero coming back from the war with a chest full of medals.Jay looked pretty much how Mikey felt, so he figured Jay felt just as successful as he did.Heather stood up from the chair she sat in and came forward to greet them. Once she was done hugging them and grabbing a kiss from each, her manner sobered. “So… What happened? What did you find out about my other father?”“First, we found him. Second, no, he didn’t find a second chance mate. Third, he is living and working at the rehabilitation facility. Fourth, he wants to meet with all of you to find out if there’s a future with you. Fifth, he wants me to call him with a date
The Rogue & The Rose Mikey Gets Some
“Yes, yes. I see. I can contact my clients right away and set something up with them.” Mikey’s grin broadened as he spoke sporadically between listening to the doctor. “He may have to go to them if he can. She’s not been cleared to leave the healing centre and it may be a while yet.” Again, he listened. “I’ll get right on it. Thank you and have a nice day. I’ll call and I’ll arrange a time and date for their first meeting.” He disconnected the call and his smile lit up the room with how excited he’d become with the outcome of that call. “He wants to meet with them and talk. Bill also wants to meet Heather and us. It’s looking good for this.” “I can’t wait to see Heather’s face and Mae will be over the moon about having both her mates. You know, I don’t think I could have chosen between you and Heather. I’d have felt like there was someone missing in my life all the time.” Jay could help with it. This was the best outcome they could have received and now it just kept gett
The Rogue & The Rose Jay Gets Good News Sort Of
Mikey sent the photos and left his number so that the Alpha could decide on what he would do about this situation. That was the best Mikey could do. This wasn’t his problem to decide on. All he could do was think of everyone’s feelings about the matter as he followed the information. He’d barely had a moment to fill Jay in on the news and no time to discuss what that could mean for them. When Jay jumped out of his skin when Mikey’s phone rang in his hand. Mikey snatched it from Jay before he could accidentally drop it. “Go grab us something to eat. I’ll try to work my magic on this doctor.” Jay frowned. He wanted to be there for the talk. He didn’t want to hear about it second or third hand. “You suck love.” But he was hungry, and they’d not eaten today before they started all of this. So, Jay left, slamming the motel room door behind him in a huff. Mikey would make it up to him. But Mikey didn’t want to have to deal with his disappointment if this w
