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

Holding my flaming cheek with my trembling cold hand, I look at the older couple with wide eyes. "How dare you try to ignore us??", the male shouted before striding into the house, making me step back instinctively.


As soon as they enter, they cover their noses to shield them from the high fragrance. "What's with the smell..?", mother murmurs uncomfortably.


I look at her with a frown but the male snaps his fingers in front of my face, "You listen to me! Who do you even think you are?? First you broke up with Harry and then dared answer back on the phone?!"


With that he shoves me back and I stagger back but manage to keep my balance. Looking at them in panic, I move further back to avoid any more attacks. "And who was the guy that talked on the phone?! Call him here!!", the male growls.
