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

It's been two days since that incident with Alex happened. He has been avoiding me ever since. I have tried to start a conversation with him but he simply ignores me.


He even sleeps on the couch in the living room. I tried hugging him tight and he stayed in my arms but didn't utter a word and the moment I loosened my grip, he simply left.


"You're still thinking about him?", Nadia asks, sitting opposite to me at the table in the cafe.


I let out a sigh, "I don't like the silent treatment I'm receiving... I didn't want to offend him... It all just went wrong... I do love him..."


"Claire...", my friend reaches out and holds my hand, giving it a squeeze, "He knows that. It's very much clear but he... he is losing his mind because he hasn't marked you still. His wolf is probably going crazy in his head which is making him possessive and insecure."


I frown at her words, "I don't want him to feel that way either..."
