Going Rogue Chapter 26
“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
Going Rogue Chapter 27
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
Going Rogue Chapter 30
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

GINAShocked doesn’t begin to describe how I felt with Jericho rejected his pack to follow me. I wanted to speak up and stop him. I wanted to tell him not to waste his time, that I’m not worth it and he’ll only be disappointed, but my tongue was heavy in my mouth.My wolf, however, was leaping with excitement at the idea that our mate already wanted to be with us this badly without knowing anything about us. I rolled my eyes and reminded myself that Atticus also seemed to want us until he learned what we’d done.This mate will be no different. He will reject me as soon as he learns about my past. If he wants to leave his pack for me, that’s fine. He’ll just get what he deserves when he rejects me and then he’s all alone as a rogue.What I’m unsure about is Silas’ plan. I’m certain that he won’t let Jericho join our pack, but what is the point in having him leave his pack to follow us? What is Silas hoping to gain from my connection to Jericho?As we run through the forest, Sil
Going Rogue Chapter 32
JERICHO I haven’t seen my mate, Giovanna, in weeks. My wolf is growing more agitated each day and clawing to get out and go find her. If I thought it was just Silas keeping us apart, I wouldn’t hesitate to fight to see her, but I’m still unclear on where she stands when it comes to us. It’s clear that she’s holding back, but I could also see the pull of the mate bond working on her the last few times I saw her. I don’t know her reasons for fighting the bond, but I know that forcing her to accept it will not work in my favor to win her heart. I’m trying to be patient, but my wolf does not understand. At first, I was camping out in the woods with limited resources, but Silas would send someone out to check on my food and water supply and to come get me when he wanted to talk, but after the first couple of weeks, he provided a cell phone that he can use to call me. I know they have been keeping watch over me, even when I don’t see them. When the wind was in my favor I could smell
Going Rogue Chapter 33
JERICHOI follow the wolf to the meeting location, and it’s one of my least favorite places to meet. An old, abandoned shed with a rusty door and several holes in the roof.Entering the space, I see Silas standing and waiting with a scowl on his face.“Why didn’t you answer your phone?” He sneered.“I didn’t feel like it.” I respond, acting as if I have nothing to lose. I can tell that Silas is caught off-guard by my cavalier attitude, but he does a good job of maintaining his poker face.“Need I remind you that you are a rogue depending on us for assistance, not to mention your mate, Gina?”Of course, I knew he would try to use my mate against me as always, but this time he doubled up and made it seem like I couldn’t survive without them providing me with food, water, and other necessities. There was no way I would let him think he had the upper hand anymore.“Need I remind YOU,” I snapped back, “that I have a job and a house now that I have paid for on my own, not to mention, I
