All Chapters of Alpha Ivan's Rogue Mate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

After lunch, Nova elects to take a nap. With how malnourished, abused, and freshly beaten up she was when we got her to the hospital, it’s a wonder that she’s able to walk around at all, let alone having to deal with everything that has been thrown at her recently. Especially without a complete connection to her wolf. She still gets tired easily and needs to rest frequently. I would have loved to have stayed in the room with her, just holding her while she slept. But we’re not quite there yet. Not since she’s come back from the hospital at least. And in light of everything that I’ve found out about her, I understand that I need to take things slow with her. So, even though Fang is pushing for me to stay and watch over her, I head to my office to try to get some work done. I’ve pushed off but the most urgent things to be with Nova while she’s been healing. I’ve got to get on top of things while I can. Unfortunately, I’m only in there for about ten minutes before there’s a

Roy’s story comes out in fits and starts between him being an asshole and having to stop because of the pain that he’s in. His wolf is still trying to heal him. It’s just not working. Is it bad that I’m finding satisfaction in that? The Goddess will have to give me some leeway here because I just can’t find it in me to be upset about it. The story that Roy told went like this: He was the second born of the beta of the pack. His brother, Robert, was given everything: all of the attention, all of the support, all of the power. (Huge eye roll from me, but I could feel Ivan tensing beside me. I know that Roy was glossing over shit and making himself the victim, but it seems that there is more to it. I’ll have to ask about it later.) Roy was left to fend for himself and he had always known that he would be a better beta than his brother. Roy had a mind of his own, ideas to help the pack succeed, and the ability to make people listen. Robert was just a people pleaser. He wo

Nova fell asleep leaning against me in the car. She’s still recovering and her crying jag left her exhausted. If I hadn’t been so worried about Nova and what seeing me killing her father in front of her would do to her, Roy would have been dead before he had gotten to say half of the shit that he did. How? How did my father allow Nova to go back into his care without checking in on her? By all accounts, even his own, Roy is a shithead. The biggest fucking piece of trash that I’ve ever seen. He should have been taken care of years ago and Nova been brought to live in the packhouse as a member of the former beta family. Instead, Nova was left alone and at his mercy for years. While she sleeps, I can’t stop touching her. Nothing pervy. I have my dignity and honor as an alpha and a male that doesn’t take advantage of she-wolves. But any exposed skin, skin that when against mine causes the fated sparks to bloom everywhere…well, that’s a bit different. My fingers brush t

I wake up all at once, a gasp leaving my mouth as I try to get my bearings. It takes entirely too long for me to realize that I’m in Alpha Ivan’s bedroom, laying on his bed. Alone. I strain my wolf hearing and scent, attempting to see if anyone else is in the suite with me, but I seem to be alone. I’m not sure what woke me up with such a start, but something feels different. Not exactly wrong different, but definitely…different. Like something’s happening…inside of me. It’s almost like when I shifted for the first time and I immediately turn my mind away from those thoughts. They’re too painful. Too horrific. I had been in the rogue camp still. In the “red tent,” called that for the amount of blood that had been lost to virginities and punishments. I had been on top of a male, one that had just been brought to the camp and was being trained as a sex slave. When the shift came, it was nothing that I could have stopped. Especially not the first shift. And the rearra

The growl that rips through me is filled with not just my fury, but with Fang’s as well. It shakes the mirror and the items on the sink countertop. She can’t leave. I won’t let her. She’s mine. My mate. My everything. I’ve already started to fall in love with her.That’s a lie. I am in love with her. I started falling the second that I saw her and I’ve been falling every single day since. If she leaves and I hit bottom…I’ll never recover.Pushing down my anger and practically shoving Fang away from the forefront of my mind, I try to be calm enough to talk to her. “I can help you find him – “But she’s already shaking her head. “No. The second that he knew that you were after him, he’d be in the wind. You’d never find him. It’s me or nothing. And I’m not leaving him. He’s too important.” Her jaw is set in determination. Her eyes are steely. Changing her mind is going to be difficult. Is this why she was saving all that money? To go find him and what? Leave the p
