With hesitant steps and a kitchen knife in hand, Claire makes her way to the storeroom where the noise came from. The lights in the tiny room were off as usual yet the soft wind hitting her nose tells her that she had forgotten to shut the window. As she walks over to the window, the door shuts close behind her, making her yelp and turn around. She isn't alone. Before she could think of her next move, the brunette is pinned to the wall behind her by a firm grip on her neck.
She couldn't see the face of her attacker but his strong scent of rain mixed with the metallic smell of his blood hits her nostrils. Claire could tell the Rogue is smirking with his face so close to hers and as his grip tightens on her throat, her air supply gets cut short. Her lips quiver only to say one word, "..Mate..."
______________________________________________
Claire Skylar has already turned 27 but didn't find her mate. With her being too weak to protect herself or her family, her parents forced her to be in a live-in relationship with a pack warrior. Another rogue attack at her pack leads her with an unexpected encounter with her destined one, Alex Cooper, a rogue.

Protecting Rogue Mate

I stand in the kitchen, cooking breakfast for me and the new guest as my mind keeps repeating his words, "You abandoned me long before we even met. You abandoned your mate." I had no strength left in me to chase him when he finished and left the bedroom to be a bit on his own in the living room. Mate bond. One thing I had put all my faith in. One thing I used as the reason to continue with this useless life. And now I'm losing it because I am a weakling. I stare at the tiled wall ahead of me as I recall how my father said that my mate would abandon me for my weakness.
