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 just keep looking at the face of the high ranked male in front of me. This gave me the chance to actually see how he looks. The Alpha has dirty-blonde hair that are a bit long yet brushed back in a mesmerizing manner. His strong jawline is shaved making his skin smooth like a baby's. His light blue eyes bore into my brown ones. The male is wearing a brown tux which suited his formal elegant look.


Alpha Julian slowly retrieves his hand from my chin and wears a small smile on his face before his gaze flickers to my friend beside me. "You too don't have to keep your head low. Now, if you don't mind, please step out of the line?"


Although his tone was soft as a feather, his authoritative demeanor left no place for defiance. As he steps back a little, we both follow him, stepping out of the line. I could feel the eyes that were on us three at the moment.
