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

"Nadia...", Alex groans while laying on the couch with his head on my lap. "You...are the Worst...witchy doo doo I've ever...met!", I brush his hair as he slurs. I give my friend a worried look who only nervously smiles.


"Umm...This time.", Nadia speaks nervously, "This time, I promise it would be the right amount of the two powders... Believe me!"


The rogue lazily rubs the spot on his arm that had become irritated by being pierced over and over. I shake my head, "How about I take the antidote this time?"


"Nope! Not happening!", the rogue shouts before grabbing my hand and placing it on his cheek. He suddenly lets out a purr as he nuzzles my palm. My eyes widen and cheeks turn red to see him like this.


He surely was not in his right mind to keep his harsh front up. Now he was displaying his true affection for me but it didn't help that Nadia was here to witness it too.
