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

Me and Alex are seated at the dining table, eating dinner. The male has been quiet the entire day, focusing. He is trying to catch any link he can find with his kinds, the rogues. Standing up, I serve him more and he finally meets my gaze before giving me a smile and a nod. My heart flutters and I take my seat next to him instead of across him.


He doesn't complain and we continue to eat in silence. As he continues to focus and stare at thin air, I take my chance to admire the specimen in front of me. My heart swells at how well the things were working now. He wasn't pushing or resisting me like before. I don't test his limits though, afraid to burst this bubble once again.


He has told me, he has told what fate a weakling carries back where he has come from. A male is eaten when the rogues fail to hunt food and females are used as breeders to keep their population high.
