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

The male on top pinned me the same way he had pinned Nadia before. As he brings his canines closer to my face, he lets out a deadly growl, "You're dead meat, bitch!"


I tremble under his hold while trying to pull free. His tight grip on my throat was cutting my air supply while the one on my wrists was putting more bruises. My strength was no match for the warrior on top of me. The silver dagger safely tucked behind my back was poking into my flesh with only leather keeping it from burning my skin.


Tears sting in my eyes as I fail to free my hand from his hold. What good is a dagger if I'm too weak to even reach for it? Weak. Weakling. The words make my tears roll freely down my temples. My mate's face flashes in my head. He was right. I'm too weak.


"You're not strong like other wolves.", his words repeat in my head. “One's wolf helps one become brave. Hopefully, your wolf will be able to help you as well soon...but I still want you to use your willpower.”
