The Rogue's Luna Is The Alpha's Mate

Jennita’s pov“To the public, you are my Luna, but while in this Packhouse, you will be reminded that this union was just one of convenience. You shall abide by my rules with obedience and respect, for our bond is one of necessity, not passion. I want you to keep this in mind till you die. I will never love you, Jennita.”Those were Alpha Antonio’s words on the night we had just completed our mating ritual. It was cruel and coldly stated, but before I had consented to the union, I knew what I was getting myself into.At first, a small part of me had been glad when he had asked for my hand, after all, I had loved Antonio right from the moment he sat in front of me in a high school class and we had become friends, but a greater part of me knew I was nothing more of a substitute for his real mate, his first love, Alessandra.She had traveled abroad, wanting to explore the world more rather than be shackled with the role of a Luna, leaving Antonio so heartbroken he turned into a cold mons

Antonio’s povWaking up to the love of my life in my matrimonial bed felt like a dream, but it was not. Alessandra was really in my arms, her naked body warm against mine.As I kissed her neck, breathing in the scent of my mate, she was still sound asleep, a testament to last night. A smirk crossed my lips as I kissed her one last time before I left her to sleep.She would need her rest as we had a scheduled prenatal appointment at the Pack Hospital.As I pulled the strings of my robe together, the smile on my face instantly vanished replaced by a cold one as I headed to my office.Such behavior from Jennita would not be tolerated. I let her off with a warning, but I needed to let her know that if she still wanted to live under my roof, she’d have to abide strictly by a new set of rules which included not bearing any malice towards her sister, my mate and her unborn baby.In my office now, I contacted my Beta using the mind link. ‘Have Jennita brought to my office immediately.’‘Yes s

Antonio’s povHer scent hit me before I saw her- a familiar mix of lavender and wild berries I hadn’t encountered in years. Jennita. My heart raced, every pain coursing through my body evaporating like mere gas as I pulled her into my arms upon instinct.It was her. I resisted the urge to let out a pained chuckle. Who would have thought we would meet in such a situation after three years? Her eyes, intense and green were sharp, no more the soft-hearted kind I had grown accustomed to. Her hair, still raven black, was longer now, short curls framing a face that had lost its youthful roughness from then, but now gained a fierce beauty.“Jennita,” I breathed, unable to hide my surprise.“Beta Jennita.” My face scowled and my wolf flew on high alert when I smelt company. Rogues.Jennita shot me a calm, cold glance before pulling away, although I couldn’t fathom what I saw in her eyes just before she disappeared.I groaned as I leaned back into the seat, feeling the familiar pain jolt up my

Antonio’s pov At Alpha Marcus's question, murmurs enveloped the room, and my gaze casually went to hers which seemed to want to burn a hole through his face had it been possible. I snickered, calmly resting my chin on my knuckles as I anticipated how she would wriggle out of the spotlight he had put her in. She had seemed so bold and audacious when we had met hours ago. How did she intend to face Alpha Marcus? “Silence!” King Ray’s voice resonated through the hall, and a pin drop silence instantly followed as everyone submitted under the aura of his wolf. However, their expressions still bore various hints of mixed emotions; dissatisfaction, anger, irritation, annoyance. “Your majesty…” Alpha Marcus seemed insistent. “That’s enough, Alpha Marcus. I’d reckon you’d even show the same level of respect to Alpha Jamal if he were here. You’ve been nothing but bitter towards the Rogues.” “Rogue or not. It still stands that she is the only woman in the room. What could a mere woman like

Jennita’s povIt wasn't until then I realized I had been holding my breath.We both turned away from each other, avoiding each other’s gazes as we apologized for letting the situation escalate out of hand. Well, I did. He just sat there, his jaw clenched, his gaze trying to settle anywhere else but on me.“Your suggestion seemed to be well thought out and strategized, Beta Jennita, but Alpha Antonio is right. Unless we can be able to certify that the spies we’d be sending out would be cautious and easily blend in without drawing major attention to us, we can’t proceed with it.”I nod quietly, feeling my body still brimming in anger from what had just ensued. “Yes, Your Majesty.”The meeting continued, this time, the conversation seemed to flow more naturally between us all. Antonio chipped in once in a while, ensuring to avoid directly answering me, but I could tell as he slouched in his seat, arms folded and head tilted to the side, he looked anything but ecstatic to be here.“That c
