Bound to the Rogue Alpha 158
The female standing before us had features that mirrored mine in a haunting way, though her gaze held a sharp, jagged edge of entitlement. Johanna’s scent turned stern the second she caught sight of her.“Lila! You shouldn't be out here without your furs! It’s the dead of winter—the frost can bite through your skin in minutes!” Lila didn't listen; she simply threw herself into Johanna’s space, scenting her with the needy clinginess of a pup.“Mother, I just wanted to greet you properly. The scouts told me the carriage finally crossed the gate, so I ran from the inner den. Where have you and Father been hiding? I tracked you to the council halls, but the trail was cold.” She flicked a curious, predatory glance at me. “Who is this stray? You never bring outsiders into the compound.”Johanna didn’t return the embrace. She placed her hands on Lila’s shoulders and physically moved her back, her expression set like stone. “We will speak inside the Great Hall. Your father and I have a revela

"Richard and Evelyn were the ones who took me in, and while it's true our bond was nothing but thorns and cold blood, that cycle is broken now. I’ve severed the tie. I’m no longer a Lawson," I said, wiping the dampness from my cheeks.I was still reeling from the sudden shift in my reality. To have parents who actually looked at me with warmth felt like a foreign language I hadn't learned to speak yet.Johanna pulled me into a fierce, protective embrace. "It’s over now, my pup. If the memories of that den are too bitter to share, then bury them. You don't have to look back."She smoothed my hair with a touch so gentle I felt my inner wolf finally stop its restless pacing.I offered a small, tentative smile. "It's alright. The past is just old scent on a trail. I have a new life now. I’m mated to a male who truly sees me."I glanced at Logan with a look of pure devotion. "My Alpha treats me better than I ever dreamed."Only then did Beal and Johanna turn their attention to Logan, their

The question of my origin was a jagged rock I usually avoided stepping on, but looking at the warmth in Johanna’s eyes, my defensive walls started to crumble."I was a stray taken in by the Lawson Estate," I admitted, my voice dropping to a whisper. "As for my true sire and dam... I have no idea whose blood I carry. I’ve been alone in that sense since my first shift."Johanna’s face transformed instantly. A storm of raw, agonizing emotion swept over her features, her scent turning sharp with shock."You’re saying you were adopted? That you aren't a Lawson by blood?" she pressed, her voice trembling with a desperate urgency.Her sudden intensity was like a physical wave, making my inner wolf stir with confusion. "Yes," I said softly, trying to steady her. "The Lawsons took me in, but I never shared their scent."Tears spilled over Johanna’s lashes. She reached out, her hand hovering over my shoulder before she gripped it. "How did you come to be with them? How did Richard Lawson find y

I walked into the chamber and pulled the ceremonial furs over my shoulders. I knew Logan was doing this for a reason. He wanted to parade me before the High Alphas to cement my status as his Luna. I had to get used to the weight of the crown sooner or later.Once I finished my war paint and adjusted the silver ornaments in my hair, we headed to the gathering. The ritual dinner was unlike any pack meet I’d attended. The air was thick with the scent of ancient bloodlines and power. Everyone moved with a predatory grace, speaking in low, measured tones."High Alpha Pierce, your presence honors us." Two elder wolves in dark tunics approached, bowing their heads slightly.Logan didn't look down on them the way he did with common rogues. They must be his territorial allies. They spoke about border patrols and silver mines with a relaxed confidence that showed true mutual respect.I found a stone bench and focused on the roasted meats and fermented nectar, trying to stay invisible. That’s wh

“Why the long face? What just crawled out of your fur? Who was that girl?” Paige Collins asked as she slammed her leather satchel onto the table and claimed the seat the Mooney pup had just fled.“Just a nuisance trying to mark territory that isn't hers. She thought she could provoke me for no reason.” I waited until Cindy was well clear of the tavern before I leaned in, keeping my voice low. “She had a lot to say about my status.”“Oh, I get it now. Before, you were mated to Logan Pierce—the outcast, the ghost without a pack. But now? Now the whole Citadel knows he’s the Alpha of Pierce Holdings. Do you have any idea how much weight that title carries in the Shifter world? Logan is prime Alpha blood—strong, lethal, and drowning in resources. Every high-ranking pack in the territories has been trying to bait him into a political union for years, but he’s been like ice. No interest in females, no interest in a permanent bond. The she-wolves who spent seasons tracking him eventually jus

"Is that the Moon-Spire?" I asked, turning toward the jagged silhouette of the Southern citadel. My eyes wouldn't stop tracing the glowing crystals embedded in its ancient stone.Ever since I was a pup dreaming of the Great Hunt, I wanted to see where the First Alpha fell. Logan watched me, his gaze softer than the silver moonlight, before he pulled my freezing hands to his mouth to warm them with his breath."We’ll track that way tomorrow if you want a closer look," he promised.The mountain wind cut through my furs, making me shiver. Logan didn't say another word; he just looped a heavy arm around my shoulders and tucked me inside his thick winter cloak. We walked the perimeter of the outpost like that, our laughter echoing off the pines.I was still buzzing when we finally reached the dens for the night. I collapsed onto the pile of soft furs, limbs sprawled, recounting every relic we’d seen in the Citadel’s hall."I expected the Fang of Fenris to be massive. It looked like a norma
