บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Rogue Mate: บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

Elise's POVHe wasn’t dead, not yet, but he was close to it. Blood trickled from his forehead and down the corners of his mouth. His breathing was short and shallow and he lifted his head, eyes pained as he slowly realised I was there with him. Jackson made some guttural sound that I’d never heard another person make before as he slowly began to crawl towards me, no matter how broken he was.I could hear his breathing, hoarse like something was blocking it, maybe as if someone had crushed his windpipe. "Elsmmm." Was another sound he made and I was horrified to think that that was my name and he was calling it out so desperately. My heart hurt.I took a step towards him, my body trembling as I took a step forward but no matter how hard I tried to reach him, it was like I was walking in sludge trying to trap me. He was trying so hard to reach me and I wanted to reach him so badly, but I could barely move.Jackson raised his hand, and I wanted nothing more than to grab it and bring him

Elise's POVI thought I was still in my dream when I opened my eyes. One moment I saw his body, bloody and broken on the floor, the next he was in front of me, touching me so tenderly and looking like he was about to cry. I relished in his touch. It was so warm and gentle and my whole body tingled. I wanted to move and hold him and cry all at the same time, but I couldn’t move, my back was still so sore.But I knew the second I opened my eyes that he was my mate. Jackson was my mate. And I had fallen in love with him all on my own even before that.“I’ve always been yours,” He said to me with a smile that made my heart jump, even as tears began to fall down his face.I pulled one of my hands away from his and stroked that stray tear away, “And I’m yours,” I said, proudly and clearly.Jackson’s smile grew wider and despite the situation we were in, no matter how horrifying or painful, he leaned closer towards me, and kissed me.He was careful not to move me too much, but I kissed him

How did he know we were here? We hadn’t been gone for very long, there was no way he could’ve organised all of this in that short time. I wouldn’t have been surprised if there had been a couple of wolves chasing us or a warning howl, but everything had been silent.“Did you really believe I’d leave you unsupervised whilst in recovery?” Frederick asked snarkily as he took a step forward.Jackson tensed, looking at all the wolves surrounding us, debating his odds. If he attacked first how many would he be able to take down before he was overwhelmed? I could see the cogs turning in his head before he turned to me slightly. Another problem, he’d be trying to protect me as well. His odds of winning would decrease rapidly if he had me to think about too.“You have your Blessed Silver,” Jackson spat, “Let her go.”Frederick tutted, “Yes, yes I do, but you see, Jackson,” It was a blatant insult not to use his alpha title in front of the rest of this pack, “there are two things that you fail

Elise's POV The moonless sky gave a sense of impending doom as both alphas glared at each other with different emotions. Fredrick was smiling and cocky like he knew there was no way he was going to win. Jackson was deathly quiet, trying not to give any of his thoughts or feelings away. Did Jackson secretly have that same confidence that Frerick had or was he just as terrified as I was?I could hardly believe what Jackson had just said. He’d challenged Fredrick to a dual. Alpha Fredrick of the New Moon pack, one of the most vicious alphas and packs in our shifter world. If Fredrick were human he would either be a serial killer or a money-hungry politician.Despite Jackson being a powerful alpha and leading a strong pack at such an age, he was still young. I doubted he'd been in real life-threatening fights since he'd lost his parents, or at the very least I doubted that he had fought on his own.Fredrick, however, was a veteran of fights. He had been undefeated for decades and had kil

Elise's POV I should’ve been more prepared knowing that this was a fight to the death. Even if it wasn’t, we were still surrounded by Fredrick’s pack. I knew that this pack wouldn’t play fair and yet I still didn’t anticipate the dirty moves they would pull.I was watching the fight intensely, monitoring every movement both wolves made.Every lunge and bite and scratch was agony to watch as I waited for the final blow, hoping it wouldn’t be Jackson dead on the floor. I flinched every time Fredrick got his claws in my mate as if he was hurting me instead, but every time Jackson pushed back a sense of pride flooded me and I wanted to cheer him on.The first slash that Fredrick had given Jackson seemed to knock him down for a moment and I thought maybe it had just hit a sore or sensitive spot. However, Jackson didn't let his guard down, and he evaded the next attack and used his environment to his advantage.Then Jackson had the upper hand after knocking Fredrick’s head and landing blow
