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 stay seated on the ground, holding my mate close as he just held me protectively even though his head was dropped on my shoulder. My eyes are fixated at my younger brother at the doorway who was pale in fear.


"Trevor!", the female cries, "Help us! Your sister has lost her mind!! She stabbed your father!!"


Gulping away the lump that formed in my throat, I shake my head, "T-Trevor... I...d-didn't..." Tears spring into my eyes.


"She's lying!", the she-wolf shouts, "Look at her hand! She is still holding the knife! And that is your father's blood!!" I instantly look down at the blade covered in crimson fluid before dropping it.


I look up back at my brother in panic, "Trevor... Believe me... It's not what it looks like..."
