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

"Here...", Nadia murmurs as she hesitantly places the silver dagger with wooden handle on my palm. "Do you even know how dangerous it was to retrieve it from over the border? What would I have had said if caught by a patrol guard?"


My brown orbs fixate at the shining metal and I feel a lump form in my throat just by having it in my hold. Suddenly it's taken away by the rogue who leans over us females, lifting the blade up into the light to inspect it.


I just quietly watch him as he checks the dagger from different angles and tries to see its weight on his two fingers. "Easy", Alex answers, "Just say that you brought it with you in case you encounter a rogue out there."


With that the male looks down with a smirk as his face lightly darkens and a scary aura oozes out of him, "After all, rogues are something to be feared~"
