Going Rogue Chapter 49
GINA The room cleared out quickly and I was immediately flanked by my guards, Perry and Samuel, as they ushered me back into the stairwell that led to my gilded cage. Surprisingly, we didn’t ascend the stairs, but just stood in the stairwell like we were waiting for something. I roll my eyes at the guards, “What are we doing here?” but they don’t respond. They are definitely the muscle without the brains. It seems like they are just the ‘yes men’ who do as they are told without question. The slip of paper hidden under the waistband of my leggings feels like a burning piece of coal against my skin, and my fingers are itching to pull it out and read it, but I won’t risk letting these two buffoons see it or take it from me. “I need to use the bathroom,” I twist my hands together nervously in front of me to help sell the lie. Neither guard looks at me, but one of them grunts in annoyance. “Are you going to let me use the toilet, or do I need to squat right here in the stairwell?”

GINAWith my guards just outside the door, I quickly unfold the paper to read the note. I don’t recognize the handwriting, and whoever wrote it didn’t sign their name. I’m sure that was intentional, so they wouldn’t be caught if somehow Silas saw the note.My hands shake as I begin reading:“You won’t be going back to your room.Silas will not let you go, despite what he promised your mate.We’re working on a plan. Be patient and remain vigilant.”Silas made a promise to Jericho? I didn’t know anything about this, and who has a plan? I wish I knew who this letter was from. I can only assume they are connected with Karli. What am I supposed to remain vigilant for? How will I know if I can trust some random wolf that might approach me?There wasn’t nearly enough information in this note.A loud bang on the door makes me jump, “Silas needs you back in the meeting hall!”Opening the faucet to mask the sound, I tear the note into small pieces and drop them into the toilet, destroyi

JERICHO On my way back to meet with Silas I picked up a note from Karli’s team confirming that my mate had been taken to the location they found out about several days ago. This gave me a small sense of peace that so far everything was going according to plan. Silas wasn’t nearly as upset as I expected when I told him I was unable to get close enough to the kids to take them. This only further confirmed my suspicion that it was just a task to keep me busy and he never actually expected me to get them. Before I could turn and leave Silas stopped me. “I need one last thing from you to complete this deal we have.” “Why am I not surprised,” I roll my eyes while crossing my arms waiting for him to explain my next task. “You will be escorting Rieka to the meeting tonight,” he taunted, “I can’t have some grand rescue mission from Alpha Aleksandr messing up our negotiations.” The glint in his eye showed is pride. This could be an opportunity for me to rescue Rieka myself and redeem m

GINA After a 20-minute drive, we park on the side of the road, and I am forced out of the car with Samuel and Perry. As soon as the doors close and we step away, the driver takes off leaving us stranded. I turn and follow my guards as they trudge into the woods. We make our way through the forest for several hours. It would’ve been a faster trip if we shifted into wolf form and ran, but they apparently thought this would be easier to keep me under their control. They’d be right if my wolf was at full strength. Under normal circumstances she is so powerful in wolf form, that I could easily take both of these guards. Unfortunately, she’s gotten weaker in the time I’ve been away from my mate. I’m not sure that I could take them on in my current condition. I hate that my wolf is affected by this mate thing. I never asked for a second chance mate, and it’s unfair that we are affected by it. We finally arrive at our destination, and it’s a cave on the far side of the forest. Thi

JERICHO As I’m quickly leading Rieka down the narrow path, she does fight me or complain about how right my grip on her arm is. Once the battle started, all the wolves that were previously camped out by the river would have moved into their defensive position, so I know it will be all clear for us when we reach the bottom. This is our first chance to speak alone, and I need her to trust me. “I’m so sorry to put you through all of this.” I hurriedly explain, “I never intended for it to go this far. Silas has my mate, Giovanna.” Recognition flashes in her eyes when I mention my mate, but she remains quiet so I continue, “Silas has been holding her captive and using both of us to control the other. Aleksandr promised to help me get her out safely if I helped to rescue you.” We reach the bottom and I see her looking around for the other wolves, “I have a safe place to take you where we can meet up with Aleksandr,” I added, “but in order to get there quickly and safely I’m going to

JERICHO Giovanna looked so peaceful and relaxed, but it was obvious the moment she began to wake up. Tension returned to her face as she slowly emerged from her unconscious state. Based on what the beta and gamma told me, I was prepared for her to wake up in a state of panic. Gently taking her hand in mine, I prayed that the sparks of the mate bond would help to sooth and relax her as she came to. “Giovanna, I’m here.” I whisper as I rub small circles on the back of her hand with my thumb. A few seconds later her eyes blink open in confusion. I give her a few seconds for her eyes to adjust, and when she sees me she gasps and sits up quickly. Immediately she puts her free hand to the back of her head as she winces in pain. A low growl slips from my throat as I remember Gamma Emmitt saying he had to knock her out to bring her here. If we weren’t still under threat from Silas and his warriors, I would kick his ass for injuring my mate, but I know that even if we have the numbers

GINA My mind felt groggy, and I was in a haze as I slowly woke up. Where am I? My eyes refused to open, and I was struggling to remember what happened last. There was a tingling sensation in my hand, combined with the subtle warms of fire. The sensation began to move in circles across the back of my hand. “Giovanna, I’m here,” a smooth voice whispers. I know that voice. Why do I know that voice? My eyes finally cooperate and blink open. I’m looking at a handsome face that feels very familiar. Suddenly, everything comes flooding back to me. My mate, the red wolf, running through the forest trying to gain my freedom, and then I was knocked out. Quickly sitting up, I instantly realize was a mistake, and the back of my head throbs. Wincing, I raise my hand to rub the spot when I hear my mate growl. “Are you alright?” he asks as he lifts his free hand to gently touch my head. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just a small bump.” I whisper as I begin scanning the room to see who else is her
Going Rogue Chapter 56
JERICHO After the alpha reinstated me as a member of the pack, they finalized the plans for all possible scenarios for the upcoming battles. The finalized battle plans were shared with all the warriors, and then we waited to hear from the scouts. Wild animals are smart. They can sense when danger is near, and while our wolves are predators, we don’t hunt often enough to cause this kind of silence in the forest. It feels like all the creatures have abandoned the forest, which can only mean that our enemies are drawing closer. Minutes later I see the alpha’s eyes shift as he receives a mind-link, and his entire body stiffens. Alpha Aleksandr mind-links all the warriors at once to let us know that the enemy forces have split into two and will be attacking from opposite sides. Thankfully, we have a plan for that. When the wolves broke through the tree line, there wasn’t a clear leader, but we all moved into formation and prepared to meet them head-on. Some of us are in wolf form,
