Anja UlvenI could say "I'm sorry" or "You're Welcome" for this mega chapter, depending on how you feel about it, but I just didn't have the heart to split it up into two smaller chapters. I hope you enjoy it, and as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Much Love, Anja <3

Karlie was overjoyed that I decided to join them, but I could tell that Silas was a bit skeptical of my sudden change of heart. He knew I was not interested in joining a pack right now, and I can’t blame him for wondering what changed.I considered telling him about the men at my motel, but a part of me worried that if he knew about them, he might not let me come along. After all, if they were trying to remain inconspicuous, having someone who was being hunted would not help their covertness.When they asked about my things, I just waved it off. “I’ve got all my money on me, and I only had a small bag with a few clothes, but I didn’t really like them anyway.”Silas was weighing my every word, but in the end, he didn’t stop me from joining the group. He even smiled and welcomed me to the pack, unofficially of course. I reminded him that I still wasn’t ready to commit to joining the pack, but that I would use this as my trial period to help me decided.We were on the road about an

The little rogue was very skittish, but I was able to coax her into trusting me as I lead her back towards the cave where my group was staying. The moment she smelled the other wolves in the area she stiffened again, but I kept telling her it was okay, and I was with them. She followed me but continued to look around nervously. When we reached the cave, I knew she wouldn’t want to go in, so I asked her to wait while I grabbed some food. I moved as quickly and quietly as I could and returned quickly with a few snack items. I could tell she was really uncomfortable, but her hunger must have been strong enough to override her fear. She quickly devoured the granola bar and an orange I provided, and happily accepted the snack sized bag of pretzels as well. “Where are your parents?” I probed again while she was eating. This time she swallowed before opening her mouth to speak. “I don’t know.” Her voice was so tiny and weak. It made her appear even younger. “How old are you?” I

Back at camp, everyone was already packing up and preparing to move out. We had already stayed in this area longer than we originally intended, and it was obvious that everyone was feeling antsy to get back on the road. By sunrise everyone was ready to move on and we began heading east again. Traffic wasn’t bad and it only took us about six and a half hours to make it from Missouri to the middle of Kentucky. We found a nice forest to stop and stretch our legs, but this time we had to be cautious because we are getting closer to an area where more packs are established. Fortunately, with the lower population in this state, there are many areas where it’s safe to let our wolves run. We released our best scouts to run ahead and warn us if we got too close to any pack lands. We have been running low on supplies and there isn’t enough wild game around here to sustain a group our size. I overheard Silas talking to a few scouts about whether or not we could get away with taking some f

“Are you ready to join the pack?” Silas questions with a grin. I wasn’t expecting him to ask me again so soon. Was I ready? I had basically given up on any other ideas of what I could do alone as a rogue, but I’m not sure that I was mentally prepared to commit to a pack. Although, the idea of training others was very appealing. I always wanted to be a warrior and protect my pack. What better way to protect a new pack than to actually train everyone on self-defense? “I’m not ready to commit yet,” I confessed, “but I’m getting closer, and I will intentionally think about it more.” Silas’ eyes met mine, and for the briefest moment I saw something different there that I’ve not seen in him before. His confidence wavered and he almost looked like a disappointed child. Was he really that eager for me to join his pack? But he quickly recovered, and that mask of confidence was firmly back in place. “Of course. Take all the time you need, but I will keep asking you about it.” He w

It didn’t take much effort to get everyone on board with Silas’ plan. Derek and I have chosen a team of 8 scouts who will be traveling with us to upstate New York to continue the search for our new home. We begin making our plans right away since we’re scheduled to leave in 12 days. There’s a renewed sense of energy within the pack and everyone is excited about the new possibilities. I few of the younger wolves have expressed an interest in joining us, but this is not a training exercise, and venturing into new territory is always a risk. We have no idea what packs exist here, if the alphas are territorial and ruthless, or what other dangers might exist in the area. ----- Time passes quickly and before I know it, it’s time to leave. The majority of the pack gathers together to see our team off, and Quinten assures me that he will continue training the pack members in my absence. That should be reassuring to know pack members will continue training, but for some reason it makes
Going Rogue Chapter 28
Over the next several months we made quick work of transforming the cave into a modern clean dwelling that even a human would be happy to live in. When we were inside the pack house, you’d never know you were actually inside a cave underground. The pack house was much larger than any I had ever seen before, and we were constantly looking for ways to expand it. Although our pack wasn’t huge, we needed the pack house to be able to serve as a home for everyone in the pack. At least until we were more established. If the pack continued to grow there was no way we’d all fit, but for now, we could make this work. Even though the pack house wasn’t finished, Silas moved the entire pack up here, and we made do with the spaces that were livable while we continued to work. He said he wanted to be here to supervise the construction, but he didn’t feel right about leaving any pack members behind. I never answered him about that date, and to his credit, he didn’t bring it up again, but whene
Going Rogue Chapter 29
“MATE!” My wolf is howling in my head, but my body is frozen just staring at him. His dark grey fur and obsidian black eyes would probably seem intimidating to others, but they don’t scare me at all. He’s beautiful and strong. His body is tense like he’s ready to attack, but I’m not afraid of him because he’s…. My mate? But I already had a mate and he rejected me. Yes, I’d heard rumors about second chance mates, but I thought they were just fairy tales. That just doesn’t happen. Especially not for someone like me. I shake my head to clear my thoughts and I realize that everyone is watching us questioningly, but there is a definite tension in the air. “Are you alright, Gina?” Silas asks through the mind-link.“Yeah…” I whisper in awe, but I can’t bring myself to say anything else. I feel like I’m dreaming, but the strong gorgeous wolf in front of me is one hundred percent real, and he looks conflicted. “What’s going on?” Silas breaks into my mind again. When I don’t answe

GINA“Silas, don’t hurt him!” The words came out of my mouth on instinct. I hadn’t intended on saying anything. I didn’t plan on telling anyone that he was my mate since I was unsure if I even wanted to acknowledge it myself.My track record with relationships has not been good, and I’m not sure I’m willing to risk another heartbreak, but when they started closing in on him my wolf started losing it. It was as if my body and even my voice acted without my consent and betrayed me. This is only going to raise questions from Silas and I’m not sure how he will deal with my mate since he’d obviously already set his sights on me.I really didn’t want to deal with jealousy. It’s probably the nastiest emotion I’ve encountered, but it’s too late now. Silas mind-links everyone to stop advancing, but keep the warrior from taking off, then he opens a private mind-link with me. “Is there something you’d like to share, Gina?”Cringing because I knew there was no way out of this conversation n
