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 scent of rain engulfs me as I once again am flushed against my mate's first bare chest. I am softly panting as I look up at the mid-shifted wolf whose leaden orbs with golden rings bore deep into mine. "Try again, princess.", he speaks in his dual-toned voice and I involuntarily let out a whimper.


"What's with the whining?", the rogue shoots and I hesitate but my legs trembled with fatigue. We have been training for about five hours straight. Minus the kitchen knife, the training is mostly the same. Alex attacks me and I have to find a way to defend myself or at least try not get pinned by him.


Needless to say, I'm failing miserably. His hold around me is too strong to break free from and even trying to slide out hurts the bones and muscles. At least the tingles from his touch makes it worth the while. "..tired...", I whimper.
