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

Tears spring in my eyes but my mate ever so gently wipes them away. "...no...", I whimper, "...please don't..." The male lightly frowns at my words. I hold his hand that was cupping my face, scared as if he is going to fade away in the air anytime. "Please don't reject me...", I cry.


"Claire...", Alex sighs before kissing my forehead. I couldn't understand why. Why is he being so gentle towards me yet killing me with his words? Why is stabbing me yet spraying kisses on the wounds?


The golden-brown haired male holds me even closer and I try to hide myself in his warmth. "I'm sure you can survive it...", he whispers and I cling tighter, whimpering loud.


Alex sighs again before just kissing me on the corner of my trembling lips. "Okay then...", he buries my face in his chest and I stay completely still against him. "But you need to do some things."
