Bound to the Rogue Alpha CHAPTER 7
In my dreams, the mist over the Shifter Citadel finally lifted. Ruth was standing in the sun, her wolf spirit vibrant and whole, the gray sickness purged from her eyes. We were walking back to the old foster den, and for the first time in years, the air didn't taste like ash.Then the sharp, jagged chirp of my comm-link shattered the peace.I bolted upright, my heart hammering against my ribs. It took a agonizing ten seconds to realize I wasn't in my cramped bunk at the Lawson Estate. The stone walls were cold, the air smelled of old woodsmoke and rain. Right. I was a Pierce now. I was mated to an outcast.I crept toward the bedroom door and eased it open.Logan was a tangled mess of limbs on the tiny sofa. He looked absurd—this massive, powerful Alpha, built like a fortress, curled into a ball to fit on a piece of furniture meant for a human child. A threadbare gray wool blanket was draped over his shoulders, and his legs dangled off the end, bare feet resting on a stack of old crate

I stiffened, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs. "If I’m not Madison Lawson, who exactly do you think is standing in front of you? That’s a ridiculous thing to say," I forced out, trying to lace my voice with her trademarked shallow flippancy.Inside, I was screaming. If he realized I was the "defective" replacement, the deal would collapse. Evelyn would pull the credits from Bayview Medical Center, and Ruth would die in that sterile hospital bed before the sun peaked over the Citadel. I had to play the part of the spoiled sister, even if it felt like swallowing glass.Logan’s brow furrowed. I could feel his predatory instincts gnawing at the edges of my lie. He’d probably been told that the Lawson heiress was a vain, scent-obsessed socialite who spent her days draining the pack’s coffers and her nights in the beds of high-ranking Alphas.He’d likely dressed in these rags and brought me to this crumbling Harbor View apartment as a test—expecting me to throw a tantrum,

"Go scrub the scent of the Lawson pack off your skin. I can wait."I flinched, my heels catching on the uneven stone floor of the Harbor View Apartment. My heart was a rabbit drumming against my ribs. I wasn't just a bride; I was a peace offering in a slip dress, and the predator in front of me was finally closing the cage door.I felt like a stray cornered by a High Alpha. Panic was a metallic taste in my mouth, and I was doing a damn poor job of masking it. I didn't know how to exist in the same air as this man—my "husband," a stranger who smelled like the coming of a winter storm.Logan leaned against the scarred wooden table, his dark eyes tracking my every twitch. To him, I was probably just a shivering, scentless omegas.He let out a low, rough chuckle that vibrated in the small room. "Relax, Brooke. I’m not going to tear into you. Not yet. We need to talk."I crossed my arms over my chest, my fingers digging into my own skin as I drifted toward him. Every instinct told me to ru

The Alpha’s gaze caught mine, tracking the way my eyes lingered on that obsidian watch. A heavy, dangerous silence stretched between us until he leaned in. His scent—cold rain and crushed cedar—washed over me, making my skin prickle."It’s a fake, Brooke," he murmured, his voice a low vibration against my ear. "Borrowed it from a rogue friend. I only wear it when I need to look like I’m worth more than the dirt in my boots. Didn't think you had an eye for high-caste trinkets."He slid the watch off and shoved it into his pocket with a careless shrug."It’s a damn good imitation," I whispered, stepping back as my ears began to burn. The heat from his body was staggering.I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Of course. A man cast out of the Pierce Compound would have connections in the black markets of the Shifter Citadel. For a second, I’d actually panicked, thinking I’d been sold to a high-ranking spy or a criminal lord. A street-hustler was much easier to handle.Logan til

The man didn't just walk; he reclaimed the space. He was a pillar of dark, refined power, his Alpha scent suppressed so tightly it felt like the static before a lightning strike.Beside me, Madison’s eyes practically popped. I saw the gears turning in her head—the shallow, greedy click-clack of a Lawson social climber. She probably thought he was one of the High Alphas from the Pierce Compound sent to represent the family. After all, the "Gaston" she’d rejected was supposed to be a mangy street-dog, a gutter-wolf with nothing to his name but a stain. This man looked like he owned the stars and the dirt beneath them.I watched her face flush a deep, thirsty red. She cast a side-glance at Jason, and I almost laughed. My ex-boyfriend, the "big prize" she’d stolen, suddenly looked like a wet pup standing next to a direwolf.Madison actually had the nerve to smooth her hair and sashay toward him. "You must be the elder brother," she purred, her voice dripping with that fake, high-caste hon

I smoothed the cheap white lace of my slip dress, the fabric thin against my skin. It wasn't a wedding gown; it was a shroud for the life I used to want. I didn’t waste silver on a real dress. Every shard of coin I possessed had to go toward the Bayview Medical Center to keep Ruth’s failing heart beating.I had braided a few stems of white baby’s-breath into my hair with a scrap of silk ribbon. In the dim, cold light of the Lawson Estate’s private chapel, I looked like a sacrificial lamb.The pews were mostly empty. The air smelled of damp stone and old incense, but beneath it, the heavy, metallic scent of Alpha blood hung over my father like a suffocating shroud. He kept checking his watch, his jaw tight."Stop pacing, Brooke," Richard Lawson muttered, not even looking at me. "He’s probably just navigating the mist. He’ll be here."My chest felt hollow. I knew the rumors about the man I was traded to. Logan Pierce. A "hollow" Alpha, a man cast out from the Pierce Compound, a gutter-w
