Falling for the Rogue CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
“There’s no use running,” Sebastian calls out in a menacing tone.The sound of the other wolves closing in on Lance echoes through the forest. That horrible feeling of danger stretches across the ground and reaches me.I know what Lance wants me to do. He doesn’t want me to just hide in the cave. He wants me to run away so I can get away, and it is possibly the safest option.I can’t shift into a wolf yet, so I can’t run as fast as Lance can’t. Once he meets me here, he’ll have to slow down to keep pace with me. I’ll hold him back if I don’t get a head start now.Something keeps me here though. It’s the pull I have for him. It’s hard to be far away from him. It’s nearly impossible to leave him behind. There’s something more to it though too.To get away, he’ll either have to kill or severely injure all the wolves that have come after us, or he’ll have to cloak his scent so he can get away.Leading them into the cave would just spell disaster. It’d be much more difficult for him t
Falling for the Rogue CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
No one speaks the whole way back to the pack.Lance stares straight ahead. He has to in order to avoid falling. I watch him, hoping that somehow we can escape. Though I know it will be difficult to. I have no idea how we could ever get away from them now. They have us completely helpless, surrounded on all sides. Walking forward is taking us one step closer to our deaths, but there’s nothing we can do but keep walking forward. Everyone is angry and tense. I thought our capture would make them happier and it has seemed to cheer them up a little, but it was a long night for all of us. And they keep looking at Lance like this isn’t done yet. Like they’re far too eager for his death.“They’re here!” Voices reach out to us before the rest of the pack is even in view. They must’ve been listening for our arrival, their senses extra alert. They must all be waiting for us.They rush over as we emerge from the forest. People who were supposed to be part of my pack, who were supposed to
Falling for the Rogue CHAPTER NINETEEN
I wait, helpless as the sun starts to fade from the sky. Sebastian leaves to attend to his plans while I stay locked in his room, left to wait alone for the horror to begin.There are things I can use as weapons in here. At first, I thought it was strange he left me in here with things I can use as weapons. Then, I realized why.I pace, my eyes catching the various sharp and heavy objects. Sebastian has left me in here to prove a point. When we’re married, he’ll expect me to be in this room with him. He’ll expect me to behave while unattended. He’ll probably keep careful watch over me for quite some time, but that won’t always be the case. I’ll have plenty of access to things that could be dangerous.This is him testing me. If I try to attack him, he’ll stop me and punish me.No. I mean, he might, but he’ll likely punish me by hurting Lance. And I can’t bring more pain to him like that.Besides, it’s not like I could leave even if I could escape once Sebastian comes back to get

They all want to kill me.Despite what Sebastian said, it looks like almost everyone here wants to kill me.I’ve gotten used to the pack’s eyes being on me, so though it makes me uncomfortable, it doesn’t trip me up like it might’ve before this. Or maybe it’s just that this is so important. They all became much less important the day I met Lance.Now I ignore Lance’s gaze as I hold Sebastian’s eyes in mine and walk towards him. He has wanted my attention all this time. Now, he has it.“I want to be the one to kill him,” I say. Sebastian’s eyebrows arch. There are whispers passed around the fire.“Is that so?” he asks.“Yes,” I nod. “I know I’m the reason we’re all in this position. I drew the rouge to our pack. I may not have killed anyone, but there is blood on my hands. I’m deeply ashamed of that.“Now, I want to do whatever I can to make it right. I want to be a good mate. I want to be a good Luna. But it’s going to be difficult to do that when I don’t have the respect of t
Falling for the Rogue CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
Sebastian leaps back, but not before I’m able to graze his shoulder with the dagger.I can’t believe it. I’ve never attacked another person like this before. I never thought I’d be attacking Sebastian like this. But Lance and I need to get away, and I’ll do anything to make that happen.Sebastian howls in pain while Violet leaps at me. I spin around and defend myself with the dagger, only trying to injure them enough to get them off us. I just want to create space for us to leave. I don’t want to kill anyone.I will if I have to though. I realize that as I glance over at Lance who’s still trying to get the chains off. I’ll do whatever I need to do to protect him. Everyone’s so shocked, they freeze.That shock wears off quickly though, far too quickly. Sebastian comes back at me, but with the silver dagger, I’m able to defend myself. I stab his shoulder as he reaches for me.Panic clouds everything.There’s no coming back from this. I’ve attacked the Alpha. There’s no way I’
Falling for the Rogue CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
Somehow, an oasis has been formed among the thick canopy of leaves in the treetops. Boards have been placed down to connect the trees, with a bed of blankets, shoddy table, small bookshelf, and other simple, human comforts nestled there.Fireflies rest among the leaves, creating a natural light that illuminates everything. I’ve never seen anything like it before.“This is one of my homes,” Lance explains. “I have a couple hidden around the forest. You have to be careful as a rouge, trying to maintain the balance of living your life without being caught. It’s exhausting sometimes.”I feel bad that he’s had to live such an unstable life, but he’s certainly made the most of it. I can’t imagine how anyone could create something like this under such circumstances.“It’s beautiful,” I say.He shrugs though I can see he’s silently proud. “The home part doesn’t stretch on too far. I want to make sure I don’t get caught, of course. And that kind of thing would raise suspicion. “However
Falling for the Rogue CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
“I tried to fight it,” Lance says. “I tried my best. But it reached a point where I couldn’t any longer. I always thought I could try to go back, but she schemed to get some of the pack members to go after me as soon as I left. I’m lucky to still be alive.”“I’m so sorry that happened to you,” I whisper. “I can’t imagine something so awful. I’m just so grateful you escaped with your life. I’m so grateful you’re here with me.”“I’m grateful to be here with you,” he says, kissing my hand. “After everything I’ve been through, it’s all been worth it for this.”We kiss under the light of the fireflies. “It is,” I agree. “All the craziness of the last few days has been worth every moment just to find you.”We hold each other as if we can hug out all the pain from the world, from our past, and create a bright new future for us. As long as we’re together, I know we’ll be happy. I just need him by my side.“We’ll make an ever better life,” I assure him. “I would never hurt you like she d
Falling for the Rogue CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
“You’re incredible,” Lance whispers as he looks at me in my wolf form. I feel incredible. Now that I can shift and I have my mate, I’m complete. I’m alive in a way I wasn’t before. I’m happy in a way no one can touch.“So are you,” I say, as he shifts in front of me.Together as wolves we fit just as well as we do as humans.“I want to run,” I say. “I need to feel the forest floor beneath my feet. I need to test out what it’s like to be a wolf in my full form.”“We have to be careful,” he reminds me. “They’re going to come after us. We’re safer up here. We can’t risk getting caught.”I nod, disappointed. It’s the worst luck that I’ve shifted and found my mate during at time when we’re being hunted. It feels like I can’t enjoy this process in the same way I should be able to. It’s nothing like how I thought it’d be. But being with Lance is even more incredible than I imagine.“The boards still do stretch for a while though,” Lance relents. “Maybe we can run for just a little bit
