All Chapters of The Alpha and the Rogue : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I watched the flames dance, slightly impatient that the biscuits were not ready yet, I wanted them to be finished before she returned from the garden but it was never the case, I always had terrible timing. I wanted to tell her not to go to the city tomorrow, that I had a bad feeling pooling in the pit of my stomach, but I didn’t know how to explain and I knew that we needed the trip. We were down to our last four tins of canned food and a bag of rice, the candles melting faster than they do in the summer months before of the longer nights. As if hearing my internal battle, my mother smiled softly, “Riven, I know you hate it when I leave for human territory, but I will always come back to you, just as I have done every month from the time you could walk.” I tucked my hair behind my ears and turned to face her, wishing that I wasn’t so special so that I could go with her to make sure that she was safe, but a human woul

 Instinctively I stumbled back, crashing into the door and beginning to hyperventilate, Kayla screaming at me to run, though not to him as I had imagined she would. She knew from the look in his eyes that he would not be a loving mate, he would be controlling and cruel just as mother said, she wanted badly to reject him right there, but without his name and the name of his pack, we could not. He took a step forward before seeming to realise what he was doing and stopping in his tracks, his voice confused and tense. “Who are you?” He asked. Instead of answering his question I asked one of my own, silent tears sliding down my cheeks as I searched those before me through my hair, knowing they wouldn’t see the odd colour of my eyes nor my freckled face through my thick hair. “Is she dead?” I asked, my voice was barely above a whisper, though I knew each of them had heard me from the

He turned me so that the pack could see me, the same awe I had seen on his packs faces back at the cabin now present on those around us as they saw my eyes, the strange shades of amber and purple. Each of them looked at me, the state of my battered body and smiled slowly, showing me that they were all as cruel as their alpha. It was as though I was some great prize to behold, that my mate had obtained something that no other had. Minutes passed before he released me, my legs instantly collapsing as I fell into the ground, though no sound escaped me as I clenched my jaw, doing all that I could to hide the pain in both my body and mind. I knew in my heart that this was the cause of my bad feeling, that my fate would no longer have a happy ending. Without out a word, the black eyes monster once again threw me over his shoulder and began walking, nodding at people who congratulated him as we passed, yet none acknowledged I even existed. We appro

I felt nothing but pain as I stirred awake, my body weak and slow as I tried to recall what happened, the events of the previous day crashing into me and making me gasp. They killed my mother, took me from my home, the alpha marked me without my consent. I shot upright, my eyes open as alert as I looked around, I was the same room from the night before, I was in his bed, I realised after a few moments that I was alone, his faint scent telling me the bed had been empty for a while. I tried to stand, but when I did something metal dug into my ankle, I threw the covers back, horrified to see that the monster had chained my leg to one of the posts on the bed, the chain small meaning that I would only be able to take a step or two before the metal cuff tore my flesh. I pulled as hard a could on the chain, but it wouldn’t budge even an inch and the cuff was secured with silver, it would burn my skin on contact and weaken my wolf. I curled my bare legs towards my

He had moved to stand beside the bed in a flash, looking down at me as though I was something he could devour and control, watching me in a possessive and yet cruel way. I didn’t move, call it fear or confusion whatever you want, but for reason I knew that challenging him at this moment would only lead to severe pain, a pain I was unsure I would be able to handle. I gulped even though my throat was dry, causing me to cough slightly whilst I built up the courage I would need for my next words. “I-I need the toilet.” I whispered, my voice so low a mortal wouldn’t have heard me. He tilted his head to the side, watching me as though I was some sort of mystery he had yet to solve. “How do I know I can trust you not to try anything?” I rubbed my legs together in discomfort. “Please? I won’t do anything, I really need it.” He laughed, though the sound he
