All Chapters of Raija's Rogue Alpha Mate : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Raija's pov "Can you swim?" I nodded as I laid my cheek against Axel's firm warm chest. My eyes adjusted to the darkness while Axel's glowed, lighting the path through the rugged narrow space. I heard him grimace and suggested that he let me walk so he didn't scrape his arms against the cave walls."I'm fine, little mate, and am only trying to remember which is the correct path to take. The Alphas could have someone at the back exit," he scowled. Frowning, I blurted," Or they could be starting a fire there as well, keeping us trapped." His lip curled as we started descending further through the cave system. Hearing running water, I turned in his arms to see a waterfall raging dangerously down the rock wall."Hold your breath and wrap your arms around my neck. Do not let go! I'm going to dive into the pool and let the current take us outside to the river." Panicking, I was about to tell him I'd need to inhale again once we broke the surface of the water below but he had jumped down be

Axel's pov Watching Raija getting smaller the further we drove away made my heart hurt. I had grown fond of my tiny mate in our brief time together. I hoped I wasn't being overly confident in Daniel's friendship. I hadn't been completely honest with him about my past.When the truck turned onto a dirt road I peered out at the thick evergreens that covered the terrain. The Black Mountain peaks could be seen through the space between the branches. Traveling further into the forest and turning several more times the truck skidded to a stop before a large resort-looking building."This is impressive," I said honestly and the two men in front agreed."You're going to be taken to the Alpha's office for him to question you and decide your fate," one of them growled. Not giving either man a difficult time I simply nodded and followed their instructions. Glancing around I got the sense that this pack was very dedicated to their Alpha and very powerful. We headed into the large building that w

Raija's povWatching my mother answer the telephone and give me the "eye" I frowned. I grabbed my new cell phone, added my mom's number, and stuffed it into my purse. I would have it in case there was a need for me to dial 911. "Brock is out front!""I will go out back and down the metal stairs in the alleyway," I muttered. Smiling, she told me she would watch me through the window. Not creepy at all, Mom!Taking my time going down the stairs I inhaled deeply as I turned the corner of the building and saw the back of my date. Brock was wearing black jeans and a gray dress shirt. "Hey, I'm here," I said rather bitterly. Once he turned I swallowed uncomfortably. Brock Johnson had changed and didn't look at all like the lanky dork I remembered from school. His hair was black and nicely styled making his green eyes pop. Still, I wasn't enamored, oh hell no, I felt a shiver go down my backbone in alert. I wondered if what Alpha Daniel had said was true about his family joining the other

Raija's povAfter ending the call with Axel I hugged Sawyer to my chest."I told him that I liked him, Sawyer!" Biting my lip over thinking about my Mom's reaction if she had heard my confession made me suddenly shiver.Brock was her choice but he just wasn't the one to make my heart race. "That Brock boy is disgusting," I murmured to my cat and he meowed in response. My phone dinged and I read the message Axel had sent and giggled. My heart pounding in my chest was a sure sign that Axel was who I should be dating. Sitting up quickly I scrolled through the apps on my phone in search of the calendar to see when the next full moon was. Counting the days I had nine to wait. Frowning about having to deal with my mom forcing me to date a person that I had no interest in was going to drive me to the brink of insanity. "I could just go with it and trick her into believing that I had a change of heart," I mused as I tapped on Sawyer's fur. "I will do a spell that will keep her from seein

Axel's povNick finally made it safely to the pack house and due to the rain, most of the pack members were lounging around inside of their section. Their faces peered out of the windows watching us as we drove up the slippery mud drive in front of the Alpha's section."Take her up to your room. If the witches arrive they won't look there," Nick suggested. "Her mother knows exactly where my room is because your dad took her there the last time she was here!"Nick huffed and went to help me with the front door. Getting out with the rain pelting me I sighed in irritation. Opening the back door I peered down at my tiny mate. Gathering Raija in my arms I grin at her due to her intoxicating scent filling my sensitive nose."Sorry mate, you might get wet," I laughed at the suggestive nature of my words. Raija was still glaring at me, dampening my raunchy humor. Lifting her, I carried her quickly to the door Nick held open for me and went to the stairs. As we were ascending Daniel came down
