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 staring at the dead body of my one and only friend. Her last moments of fear and panic remain frozen her eyes. My mind feels numb as I rack through it for a way to change all this. To bring Nadia back...but we can't bring back the dead.


"..Claire..!", my mate's pained groan snaps me out of it and I instantly look at him. He was suffering and every passing moment was bringing him closer to his own demise. No... I can't lose him too.


"You see", Julian starts while shaking his head, "You made this all happen, Claire. You kept a rogue in your house. You made your friend die for something she wasn't at fault for." His words bring fresh warm tears in my eyes.


My head slowly turns to the Alpha as he moves closer to my mate, making my heart squeeze tight in fear and pain. "You could have prevented all this.", the male continues before grabbing Alex's jaw.
