Chapter 24 Sam’s POV Three years later I was alone in our room, and I was not feeling very well. The last couple of years had been rough but also a blessing. I could finally live how I wanted, and I never had a day of mockery or harsh words against me. They accepted me. I was the Queen of the Rouges, and tomorrow we would finally make it official to the rest of the community of werewolves. It took me three years to accept that this was the life I wanted. Yes, I had wished to be a rouge for a long time, but it was very different from being in a pack. Some things resembled the pack life, but others didn’t. I was still working at one of many nightclubs that Logan owned, and I could do pretty much what I wanted. I was cage-fighting, gambling, or just getting drunk. It was an easy life, all I ever wanted, right? But somehow, it wasn’t. I thought it was just a sudden change and needed time, but it never felt 100 percent right. It was something that was miss
Chapter 25 Blair’s POV The day Sam left still haunts me. I didn’t deserve her after all since I did nothing to defend her. She almost died, and still, I did nothing. My heart broke when Logan, the King of the fucking Rouges, claimed to be married to her for almost two years. But the reason behind it, a deal she made to save my life, absolutely crushed me. She did this for me? After that day, I couldn’t breathe. It was impossible to breathe without feeling the pain of the loss of my mate. I was no longer the same man. I was a coward for not defending her. But I had my reasons. I was planning on overpowering my father, and I had everything planned, except that I would meet my mate. I needed to pretend to be as cold as him, to keep him off my back, but in the end, I lost everything. I tried to remember my mate, her features, scent, and everything about her, but as time passed, I was losing my mind. Eventually, I did kill my father, and I didn’t even regret it. Time
Chapter 26 Sam’s POV Where the hell is Logan? He leaves me for five minutes, and Blake and Blair are all over me. They were desperately trying to get me to listen to them. What the hell is their problem? We are done. We are through. There is no love or affection for any of them. I’m numb to their advances. After the outburst about Lily’s feelings towards Blake, they left me alone, at least for now. I decided to look for Logan, and I was unprepared for what I saw. A heartbreak all over again. Can it be true? Can it? He loves me, right? At least that was what I thought. Abruptly he turned around and locked eyes with me. He let the girl he was making out with down from the wall he held her at. She arranged her slutty pink dress and stood by him, grinning. She looked like she had just sealed a deal, and Logan was the price. “It’s not what it looks like, Foxy.” Logan tried to say to me. I couldn’t even respond. I was so shocked that he could do this to me. Did
Chapter 27 Sam’s POV I ran and ran and only stopped when I needed to drink or hunt. I don’t even know what day it is. The betrayal was so painful that I don’t know if I will ever be okay again. And to make it all worse, Blake and Blair were there to witness it all after I said how much in love I was with Logan. When you are alone, you get to know yourself better. I have spent so much time in pain, sorrow, or worrying about my brother, ex-lovers, or Logan that I never considered what I wanted. I may still be married to Logan, but he will never find me again. The journey to my safe place forced me to deal with my inner emotions and troubled past. It was true. I only could rely on myself. I knew my brother only wanted what was best for me, but how come everyone seemed to think they could decide for me. From now on, only I will determine what is best for me. On the road, I passed dense forests, exciting towns, and impressive mountains. It makes me take the time t
Chapter 28 Ace’s POV I hear a faint knock on the door, thinking it would probably be Kate since she said she would visit me someday while Beth was out. But the view in front of me when I opened the door, I thought I had died and come to heaven. There in all her glory was Foxy. The girl I have been crushing on for years. I knew from the last gossip that Logan had somehow fucked up and that Foxy had left him. But I could never believe that she would come to my place seeking shelter. I felt like my heart would explode with contentment and pride. She chooses to go here to ask me for help. She looked stunning. Her wet hair was covering her breasts, but except for that, she was completely bare. A fucking goddess to humankind. And then Foxy asked me f she could stay here. With me. With us. I knew Logan was looking for her, but the gossip said he cheated on her, making me see red. What low scums cheats on his girl? Or his wife!! It made me feel pissed and protective
Chapter 29 Logans POV The heartache of losing Foxy was eating me alive. I lost her. I fucking lost her because of some stupid mistake. Shit, I knew she had been screwed over before, and she didn’t need another heartbreak in this life. But now, I was one of them. One of the losers that had betrayed her. I missed her. I missed her so fucking much that I couldn’t sleep, eat or live. She had told me she never wanted to see me again, and I knew she meant it. I should give up; I would probably never find her on my own. What the hell could I do to make her be with me again? I had fucked up, the best thing in my fucking life. It’s been almost two months since she left, and I had teamed up with the other fuckers, Blake and Alpha Blair, to find her and her brother. I knew she was an expert in hiding her scent, and I knew that if she didn’t want to be found, I wouldn’t find her. I searched all over the fucking country for her. I made sure all rouges were to kee
Chapter 30 Alpha Blair’s POV Every fucking night it’s the same. I wake up in the middle of the night. Nightmares. Nightmares about what I lost. The dream is always the same. It’s about the evening games and the fight. The fight almost killed my mate, my Sam. I need to find her. I need to find my mate. She is still everything I think about, day and night. It’s been more than four years since I lost her and one year since I last saw her. That awful day when I didn’t stand up for her. I regret it so bad and will for the rest of this shitty life. I should just have saved her. I claimed her no matter what my father thought or my plans to kill him. She was mine, and she still is mine. But fate and wrong choices have made it almost impossible to be with her. Logan saved her, and no matter how much I wish it were I who saved her, it wasn’t. It was the King of the Rouge that saved her almost three years ago. For months, for years, I waited for him to fuck up a
Chapter 31 Alpha Blair “Are you kidding me?” “What..?” “It’s that your plan? It seems kind of lame. You don’t know the girl, she may be your mate, but as far as I remember, she doesn’t really like you.” “Well, that was before Drake. I’m a new, changed man. I’m nothing like my father, and I need to prove that to her. I need to make her want me.” “And you plan to make her jealous? Sounds kind of stupid to me, Alpha.” “ When I saw her at the restaurant, she looked more human than a werewolf; it’s almost like her wolves are gone. She didn’t even sense me there. Something is wrong, and I need to fix it.” “I think it sounds like she doesn’t want anything to do with the werewolf community anymore and is trying to be as human as possible. Maybe this time, you should give up. She has been running from you for almost five years.” “I’m a persistent man. I can wait a lifetime to be with her. Soon she will realize that she belongs with me and not that stup
