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

Next morning, after talking a shower and wearing presentable clothes, I head downstairs to the living room. I glance at Alex who was still finishing the breakfast I had cooked earlier. After quietly observing him and making sure he's in good health, I make my way to the main door. As soon as my hand grabs the handle, I'm pinned to the door with my chest against the wooden surface. I yelp at the sudden impact before going quiet as I hear the rogue growl from behind me. I lightly move my head to the side and find his face inches away from mine. Golden rings were around his orbs when he speaks in two-toned voice, "You trying to escape, princess?"


I let out a small huff before meeting his threatening gaze, "I was only trying to go shopping like I told you yesterday... Why must you keep doubting me?"
