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 wake up in my mate's embrace, looking up to see his beautiful asleep face. Reaching up, I brush a strand of his hair off his forehead. Staying in his arms was surely enticing but I wished to use the bathroom real quick.


Carefully slipping out of his hold, with small winces, I get off the bed. My knees give out instantly and I fall but before I could hit the ground, I was caught in a pair of warm arms. Scooped up like I weigh nothing, Alex stood with me in his arms in bridal style.


I quickly look up at him with my eyes wide from shock. I was sure that I am going to hit my head against something or worse but when I meet his gaze, I get even more shocked. The rogue had such a sweet and warm smile on his face instead of his signature smirk.
