His Rogue Mate I can do this!
Karina. He was looking in my direction. No. ‘No, no, no, no, no, no.'I ducked away before I could think, racing out of the field.When I finally stopped, my heart was racing.‘Did he see me?’ I silently swallowed.I didn't know how to feel if he did. It would only be proof that I was actually avoiding him.I let out a sigh. Whether or not he actually did, that was a close call. Especially just on the second.I walked slowly, yet watchful.It was okay, I assured myself. I had hidden in plenty of towns and cities with packs without being noticed. Surely avoiding a single person in a large pack like this wouldn't be too hard.Right?My thoughts halted when I bumped into a body. Immediately, my thoughts took a turn for the worst and I whipped my head in defense mode to see who it was.“Calm down there, tiger." Sam chuckled, even then I noticed how her arms were raised. She had thought the same thing.Immediately I backed away, relaxing while she did the same.It was in our instincts. Y
His Rogue Mate We have plenty to talk about.
Karina.Stepping into my home, my search immediately took me to the closet. I rifled through the clothes quickly.‘Nothing too flashy. Too long. Nothing too bland. Not my style anymore.’ I muttered as I pulled away clothing after clothing that didn't fit my aim.I had to fit in perfectly, like a viper to the grass. Using clothing as a guide or even better, as a shield was one of the ways I had survived through the years.That was why I had to be picky. Only then could I be avoided.Not to mention that the majority of the clothes that fit me in the past didn't anymore. I had just given birth after all, and even though I had bounced back in no time, it wasn't the same.I huffed out in displeasure, shutting my eyes to calm down.The sooner I did this and came there, the sooner I could leave.I finally settled in on a teal cotton dress I got half a year ago while I was going through the earlier stages. It was able to hide any signs of my pregnancy whilst being good enough to not be overly
His Rogue Mate The encounter.
Karina.Shit.I could have cursed for hours and the days beyond if I could. I would scream out curses like they did in the movies and within all the seedy parts of the city. This was the last thing I wanted. Yet here I was, facing him.My gaze roved over his face. His jaw, chiselled and angled. The tiny bit of stubble that shadowed his face. His hair, though seemingly darker in my view, flopped on his forehead.His lips. My heart skipped a beat despite everything.I was in the forest, alone with him. Even with my natural strengths and evasion, he was far larger and stronger than me. I could easily be overpowered when push came to shove. It was a situation to be afraid of. I should be afraid.Yet, looking at him, against every survival instinct I bore and had honed for years, there was still no ounce of fear in me. Even now, as he stood by the door, he didn't look like he would harm me.What happened to my gut instincts?“Long time no see." I tilted my head to the side, trying to g
His Rogue Mate I will find you again and... again.
Connor.Seconds passed after she stormed out, drawing longer than an eternity.Every single word, the daring look in her eyes. It all reverberated in my mind.I gripped the nearest tree trunk, leaning on it as the memory almost brought me to my knees.She was here.Seeing her for the second time didn't make it any more unbelievable.Almost a whole year had passed. A year of hopelessness, of searching for her and continuously pining for her existence.And all this time, she was here.Under a different name no less.‘Kiara' That was what Isabella had called her the first time. Which one was a different name from the one I knew her with. ‘Not too different.,' Aster, my wolf, agreed.Which one was real? Between the woman I'd seen in the diner or this bitter one that ran from me at every turn, who was the real her?Who was she?I shut my eyes tightly against the onslaught of questions. Whatever I needed to know, I wasn't going to find it here.The not-too-distant music and squeals behind
His Rogue Mate A new man.
Karina.Waking up the next morning was a breeze. I was filled with enough determination and adrenaline to fill a horse.A sharp wail rang out and I rushed toward the sound, only to see that it was none other than my son wailing.“It's okay, baby.” I patted him comfortingly as I prepared to feed him. “Mommy's here.”He was returned to me by Sam, who was called on by an exhausted Agathe. Seeing him again filled me with relief, but then I couldn't get Connor's words off my mind.There was that human phrase; once bitten, twice shy. I never made the same mistake twice.Which was why I had devised a new strategy.With a bath that left us both refreshed, I quickly started dressing up, preparing to head to the city.I didn't want to take any chances this time. Taking Levi with me was also for safety. Even though I was sure neither Sam or Isabella would let out the location of my house, there was no chance of him finding out for himself.It also helped, considering I had a job shift there.‘Ru
His Rogue Mate Times are changing.
Karina.I returned back to the pack when the sky glowed a deep orange, Levi in my arms and exhausted and tired from the work I'd gone through for the day. Against better judgment and Willa's complaints, I took both the morning and afternoon shift.It was better than the alternative of being seen.Now that I was back in the pack, there was very little to worry about. I could go home in peace without being disturbed.Finally, everything was alright. “Ki… Kiara?”I spun to meet Sam, struggling as she hefted a bag.“Need… a little… help.” She choked out. Without hesitation, I rushed toward her. Thankfully, I was strong enough. With Levi and my bag in one hand and her load in the other, we were able to reach her home.“Thanks. I wouldn't know what to do without you.” She sighed out in relief.“What have you been carrying?” I said, eyeing the large obscure load and leaning in to touch it.Before I could check it, she slapped my hand away, shaking her head frantically.“It's nothing.” She
His Rogue Mate Trapped.
The next day, I woke up to two new messages on my phone.The first was from an unknown number. I couldn't recognize it until I read it.‘Hi. It's the guy from the cafe. Will you be working today?'Looking at it for a few more seconds, I didn't know what to reply to him or why I had collected the number in the first place. Instead, I looked at the second one.The second was from a familiar number. Lola's number to be more specific.‘I heard that you took a shift for almost the entire day. Don't try coming over for the next two days.'Immediately, a growl left me as I rested back on my pillow, shutting my eyes tightly.I should have known this would happen or, at least, predicted it.Even before finding the Rogue pack, she was plenty weary about letting me work for long hours, especially considering my pregnancy situation. As such, I was only limited to working slight shifts with the same pay.The same was true now. As a nursing mother, she didn't let me work more than one or two shifts
His Rogue Mate Why don't you want to be with me?
Katherine. The tension was thick in the air as the silence lingered. Only the faint sound of breathing filled the air.The urge to scratch at my wrist was overwhelming, but it was hard to consider moving for a moment.More seconds passed, and I felt a tingling sensation at the back of my head.I finally broke out of my frozen state and looked away, yet I could still feel his gaze penetrating mine. ‘Ignore him,' I told myself. Clenching my jaw, I turned away, settling all the discarded jewelry in its place. One by one, I focused on my task as if it was the most important thing on earth.Anything to not face him.“Are you going to ignore me the whole time?”I stiffened at the sound of his voice for a moment, shutting my eyes tightly. I quickly regained my composure before moving again. Every second that passed felt more like torture. I could barely focus on my task anymore, placing jewelry in odd places. Kayla, like the perfectionist she was, would no doubt be livid once she found
