The Rogue King's Protection
"You're overreacting," he said, stepping toward me.
"What we had was... biological. The mate bond is just instinct. What Jade and I have is real love."
Tehila Morrison has hidden her fated mate bond for months, watching in silence as the man destined for her, Dalton, publicly courts her own sister, Jade. On the day of their engagement announcement, Tehila finds the courage to expose the truth, revealing her mate mark and their secret history.
But her bravery backfires. Dalton rejects her publicly, calling their bond a "mistake," and her entire pack, including her own parents, sides with her betrayers. Humiliated and alone, Tehila's world shatters.
Just as she is about to be punished for her defiance, the pack hall is stormed by the most feared wolf on the continent: Zane Darius, the Rogue King. He stuns everyone by claiming Tehila, offering her sanctuary to repay a life-debt she never knew she was owed.
Forced to flee everything she's ever known, Tehila is thrown into a new world of danger and conspiracy. She learns her old pack is rotting from the inside, entangled with a secret enemy.
Caught between the rogue king who offers her protection and the fated mate who shattered her heart, Tehila must discover who she is when she has nothing left to lose. But the betrayals are far from over, and her mate's greatest sin may not have been choosing another, but the lies he told to keep her.

Chapter: Chapter 11: SeparatedTehila's POVMy grandmother was dead. She had died when I was sixteen, wasting away from some illness the pack healers couldn't cure. I'd held her hand as she took her last breath, watched them burn her body according to wolf tradition. So the voice calling from the darkness was impossible, no it couldn’t be.I was panicking, Dalton and I were alone. The others had vanished into the forest, following Zane toward the Dead Zone. And someone—something—was using my grandmother's voice.The footsteps grew closer. I grabbed Dalton's arm, half-dragging him behind a massive oak tree. His weight nearly pulled me down, but adrenaline gave me strength I didn't know I had. I pressed my hand over his mouth, feeling his labored breathing hot against my palm."Shh," I breathed directly into his ear.Two figures emerged from the darkness. Human, dressed in tactical gear, rifles held ready. Night vision goggles made them look like insects. They moved past our hiding spot, close enough that I could sm

Chapter: Chapter 10: Impossible ChoicesDalton's POVMy father's voice echoed in my head from childhood. "Never enter the Dead Zones, son. Wolves who go in don't come out the same that’s if they come out at all."He had told stories of wolves who turned feral, their humanity stripped away from them. Others who walked in circles until they died of thirst, unable to find their way out. The Dead Zones were where wolf instincts failed, where our greatest strengths became our deepest weaknesses.But they were also completely off the grid. No signals penetrated those areas, and no satellites could track movement. Whatever made them deadly to wolves also made them invisible to technology."You're insane," one of Thorne's former warriors said, backing away. "I'd rather take my chances with the mercenaries.""Then go," Zane said simply. "No one's forcing you."Three wolves immediately turned and

Chapter: Chapter 9: Bloodline RevelationTehila's POVMy heart stopped. Breeding program. The words echoed in my brain. Zane's claws moved inches from Thorne's throat, trembling with the effort of restraint. I wanted him to do it. I really wanted to watch the life drain from the eyes of the man who had judged me while hiding his own monstrous secrets. But the terror in my chest was louder than my rage."Explain," Zane's voice rumbled, still in wolf form. "Now."Thorne coughed, blood staining his teeth. "There's an organization and it’s been operating for decades. They track specific wolf bloodlines, control breeding, eliminate anyone in their way." He laughed. "You think pack politics are brutal? This makes us look like children playing house."Dr. Lorett stepped closer, her rifle lowered but ready. "He's telling the truth. I've seen their files. They call themselves the Preservation Society, but there's nothing noble about it. They're trying to breed 'perfect' wolves—stronger, faster, more controllable."The words landed li

Chapter: Chapter 8: Buried SecretsZane's POVIt was as if time stopped. Alpha Thorne's face drained of color like water flowing from cracked stone. I had seen wolves face death before but this was different. This was a man watching his carefully constructed empire crumble. Dr. Lorett's words hung in the air like smoke, poisoning everything they touched. I'd heard whispers about Thorne's first mate disappearing years ago, but wolves whispered about many things. Most were lies. Some were worse than lies—they were truths nobody wanted to face.Dr. Lorett climbed down from the roof with steady hands, her rifle never wavering from Thorne's chest. She moved like someone who'd waited years for this moment, practiced it in her mind until every step was muscle memory. The battlefield had become a courtroom, and she was the only witness who mattered."Her name was Elena," Dr. Lorett said, her voice carrying to every wolf present. "Beautiful, intelligent, kind. She discovered you were embezzling pack funds, Marcus. Selling pack

Chapter: Chapter 7: The First StandTehila's POVThe windows shattered inward as Alpha Thorne's warriors crashed through them. Glass rained down like ice, cutting through the candlelight. My heart hammered against my ribs so hard I thought it would break free. I had never been in real combat before, watching from the sidelines wasn't the same as standing in the center of death's circle. Every instinct screamed at me to run or hide, to become invisible again. But that girl was dead.Zane shifted beside me, his massive wolf form a wall of black fur and muscle. The rogues and rebel pack members formed defensive lines, but I could see the fear in their eyes. We were like farmers facing soldiers. Omegas facing warriors. Jamie stood to my left, trembling but holding his ground. His courage steadied something inside me.Then I saw movement from the bed. Dalton dragged himself upright, his face gray with pain. Blood seeped through his bandages, spreading like dark flowers across white cloth. He shouldn't have been standing, no

Chapter: Chapter 6: New TerritoryDalton's POVConsciousness returned slowly, like swimming up from deep water. First came the pain – a dull, constant ache in my side where the silver blade had pierced me. Then the sounds – unfamiliar voices, footsteps on wooden floors, wind through different trees.I opened my eyes to candlelight and shadows. The room was simple but clean. Definitely not pack territory."You're awake."I turned my head, wincing at the movement. Zane sat in a chair by the window, watching me with those unnervingly dark eyes."Where—""My territory. A safe house about fifty miles from your former pack."Former pack. The words hit like a physical blow."How long?""Three days. The silver poisoning nearly killed you."Three days. I tried to sit up, gasped at the stabbing pain."Don't," Zane said. "Dr. Lorett said you need at least another day before you can move safely.""Tehila—""Is fine. Worried about you, which frankly puzzles me, considering everything."I deserved that. Deserved worse."Why did you
