Alpha Joe stood before me, his towering presence as commanding as ever. his jaw clenched in barely suppressed anger.

“Slave?” he barked, his voice echoing through the dilapidated walls of the rogue den.

I flinched, but only a little. “Yes, that’s what I am now. A rogue slave. Isn’t that what everyone’s been calling me?”

His amber eyes flared, his wolf not far from the surface. “Julia, you’re our sister! Who told you to call yourself a slave?”

“You sent me to the Rogue Den to atone for Penny’s sins, didn’t you? Did you really think a sinner would be treated well?”

Joe’s fists curled at his sides, and for a moment, I thought he might punch me.

“You were just about to agree to come home with us—you even got into the car!” he snapped, his frustration finally breaking through. “Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

My lips curved into a bitter smile. “ Perhaps this is where I truly belong.You were the ones who sent me here, remember?"”

Beta Steve, my former fiancé, stepped forward. “Julia, don’t say such things in anger. We’ve investigated what happened five years ago. You didn’t harm Penny on purpose that day.”

I scoffed. “Wow, five years to figure that out? Must’ve been a really tough case for you.”

Steve winced but pressed on. “We wronged you, Julia. And we regret it deeply. That’s why we came all the way from the Midnight Ridge Pack to take you home from this... this rogue den.”

“This place is too desolate,” Alpha Joe cut in, his tone softer now, almost pleading. “Too broken. It’s no place for someone like you—a young lady who was raised in comfort and love for over a decade.”

Comfort and love? I nearly laughed out loud. The only love I’d felt in that house was from my wolf, and even she had grown quiet after years of being suppressed by silver chains and wolfsbane.

Steve’s gaze flicked to my hands, and I caught the flash of pity in his eyes as he saw the rough, misshapen fingers I’d earned from years of hard labor. He spoke gently, as if trying to soothe a pup. “Julia, you don’t belong here. Come back with us, and we’ll make things right.”

My vision blurred for a moment, but I forced the tears back.

Five years. Five years of endless torment, of dreaming about the day my family would come for me. And when they finally did, when I climbed into that car with my heart pounding in hope...

I heard the whispers.

“She’s just a backup for Penny. Don’t know why Alpha Joe is wasting time on her.”

“She should be grateful we’re even bringing her back. After all, rogues don’t get second chances.”

The joy that had bloomed in my chest froze into something cold and brittle. Shock gave way to disappointment, and disappointment twisted into something darker.

My heart ached, but not from longing. No, this was the sting of betrayal.

The family I had waited so long to see again wasn’t truly remorseful. They didn’t want me back because they loved me or missed me. They wanted me because Penny had screwed up—again.

  • He Banished Me to the Rogue   Chapter 21

    When Alpha Joe and Beta Steve arrived, the first thing they saw was their beloved "sister" on her knees before me, tears streaming down her face, humiliated beyond measure. Alpha Joe rushed forward in a flash, his eyes dark and wary as he pulled Penny protectively into his arms. But with Xavier present, he dared not say a word. This would likely be my last time seeing the people of Midnight Ridge Pack. “There’s no need to look at me like that, Alpha Joe,” I said coolly. “I didn’t bully your precious sister. Miss Penny has paid her respects—our debts are settled.” I met his gaze, unwavering. “From now on, stay out of Rogue Den.” Alpha Joe tensed, his fists clenching at his sides. Beta Steve, however, had been staring at me since he arrived. Unlike Joe, he didn’t spare Penny a single glance, even as she knelt before me. “Julia, won’t you come home with us?” His voice was hoarse with emotion, his usually bright eyes clouded with guilt and sorrow. “I’m sorry.” At last, af

  • He Banished Me to the Rogue   Chapter 20

    The wedding ceremony had just wrapped up. The vows were said, the rings exchanged, and the crowd was buzzing with applause. I should’ve been basking in the afterglow of the moment, but instead, I was hit by something completely unexpected—a scent. At first, I thought it was some fragrance the wedding planners had sprayed everywhere. Then it hit me again. Stronger. And this time, I knew. "Julia, Xavier is our second mate!" My wolf practically somersaulted in my mind, her voice filled with excitement. She was so ecstatic I could almost see her wagging her tail like a deranged puppy. I froze. Second mate? His scent was pine and chocolate. It was pure heaven, My head spun, and my heart hammered against my ribs. "Second mate?" I asked, more to myself than anyone else. "Yes, Julia, I'm your fated mate." He whispered, his eyes locking onto mine, burning into me. The longing in his gaze was so intense it stole my breath away.On the night we soaked in the hot springs, as I ga

  • He Banished Me to the Rogue   Chapter 19

    Alpha Joe’s hand never landed on me.Xavier, clad in traditional groom’s attire, tall and imposing, strode over with his guards in tow."My woman—do you think you have the right to discipline her?"Alpha Joe and Beta Steve released me simultaneously.Beta Steve’s face was beyond pale, his eyes locked onto Xavier’s attire.His voice rasped out, hoarse and disbelieving:“Julia, the man you’re marrying… is him?”The rogue king of Rogue Den was leagues above a mere Beta of Midnight Ridge Pack in status. He had believed himself my best choice.How laughable. He was never even close.I didn’t need anyone’s pity.“Julia, why didn’t you tell us you were marrying the rogue king?” Alpha Joe’s tone softened, his earlier anger replaced with reproach.“So we could have sent a proper gift.”Compared to the entire Rogue Den, the Midnight Ridge Pack is utterly insignificant. Although Rogue Den is located in a remote area with an unfavorable climate, it boasts the largest territory. The harsh weather a

    Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.Without informing anyone, I donned a stunning wedding gown and joined the procession heading to the palace of the Rogue King.Xavier was right.Without his blood as a key ingredient, Penny’s condition didn’t improve despite taking my medicine.On the day of my wedding, she was coughing blood again, gasping for air, until she finally collapsed.My elder brother, Alpha Joe, and Beta Steve were running around like headless chickens, desperately searching for me, hoping I would give them another dose of the medicine to save Penny.The grand, opulent wedding procession of the Rogue King brushed past them.I sat inside the car, gazing out the window with a cold, detached look. Without a trace of emotion, I glanced at them before turning my gaze away.Beta Steve seemed to sense something. He abruptly turned around and stared at the car I was in.His eyes landed on me, dressed in the dazzling attire of the Rogue Queen. His expression froze. His eyes wide

  • He Banished Me to the Rogue   Chapter 17

    I didn’t learn that Penny and Xavier had crossed paths until the next day, when I went to the ranch to tend to the sheep. Thanks to my medicine, Penny had recovered quickly. She was now able to wrap herself in thick coats and wander around Rogue Den, her delicate little face peeking out from beneath the fur-lined hood. Meanwhile, Xavier had taken down an eagle mid-flight with a single arrow, claiming it as his prey. That was when Penny appeared. With wide, misty eyes, she stood before Xavier, indignant. "Eagles are meant to soar freely in the sky. Why did you have to shoot it down?" There weren’t many onlookers. But that didn’t stop Penny’s eyes from welling up with unshed tears, her shimmering gaze locked onto Xavier’s silver-masked face. Only his cold amber eyes were visible, distant and untouchable. A faint blush crept up her cheeks. Her voice quivered, soft and delicate. "Xavier Highness… If you refuse to let it go, I’d like to buy it from you." "My brother has

  • He Banished Me to the Rogue   Chapter 16

    I sat quietly in the dim light, staring at the fresh wounds on the back of my hand.Did it hurt?Yes.But it was worth it.Back when I was the only princess of Midnight Ridge Pack, the very thought of pain made me flinch.Bruises? Terrifying. Scratching? Practically the end of the world. I had avoided combat training like a cat avoids water, which was ironic for someone destined to be around wolves. Then Penny returned, and everything I cherished was yanked away. To salvage what little dignity I had left, I forced myself into training. It was ugly. Bruises. Broken nails. One time, I even dislocated my shoulder doing something as "simple" as a forward roll. But I persisted. Six months later, I won my first beginner-level combat competition. I practically howled with pride. That shiny gold medal was my trophy, my triumph! Naturally, I presented it to My favorite brother Alpha Joe, expecting praise. Only for him to turn around and give it to Penny.As if it meant nothing.Xavier ca

  • He Banished Me to the Rogue   Chapter 15

    After careful consideration, I decided to use Xavier’s late mother as my leverage. The rogue den had taught me one thing: survival wasn’t about brute strength. It was about playing the long game. And today, I was going all in.On the anniversary of her death, I donned the very gown she had worn when she first met the old Rogue King. A sheer veil concealed my face. When Xavier saw me, his eyes darkened, swirling with emotion, unable to look away. Half the battle was already won. But captivating him wasn’t enough. I steadied myself, adjusting my posture, stepping past him into the shadowed hall.The air inside was heavy, carrying the scent of dust, decay, and faint traces of wolf musk .The moment the old Rogue King stepped into the long-abandoned palace to mourn the woman he had once loved to the extreme—and hated just as deeply—I pressed down on the first piano key. A forbidden sound filled the air. It was the same melody the late Rogue Queen had once played—Mariage d’Amo

  • He Banished Me to the Rogue   Chapter 14

    Why was I treated differently by Xavier?Why was I the one who tamed the fiercest beast of the rogue den—the future Rogue King?Maybe it was because I was ruthless. Even to myself.I had vowed to survive, no matter the cost.The old Rogue King had over a dozen sons. But Xavier… he was different.Born of an Omega, he carried half Omega blood—an eternal stain on the royal lineage of the rogue den.His mother, though an Omega, was the famed beauty of the Mississippi River, once deeply favored by the old Rogue King. But she never smiled. The Rogue King was not her fated mate. She withered away in grief.When she died, the Rogue King locked himself in his chambers for three days, only to emerge with a decree: her body was to be burned to ashes, her title as Rogue Queen stripped, her very existence erased.And Xavier, once the most favored prince, became nothing more than a mutt, a target for ridicule.To survive by his side, I had to prove my worth.The night his own kin came for his life,

  • He Banished Me to the Rogue   Chapter 13

    The night was deep. Rather inconveniently, as soon as my last life-saving medicine was gone, my illness struck again. I curled up on the wooden bed, the chill seeping through my bones. No matter how many layers of blankets I covered myself with, I couldn’t resist the piercing cold and pain. My body trembled uncontrollably, cold sweat quickly soaking through my inner garments. My teeth chattered loudly, I wanted to summon my wolf, sadly, none seemed to be responding. It remained silent deep within me, enduring the same pain I was.Clutching my shoulder, where the Panthera tigris had bitten me, my mind blurred, and I was dragged back to that snowy night in the rogue den. Crying, I had called out Alpha Joe’s name, Beta Steve’s, my parents'… over and over. But they were far away, in Midnight Ridge Pack. They could never hear me. I had jumped into the freezing lake to escape the Panthera tigris, my hair frozen stiff, my body shaking violently. The icy water had cut into me li
