CHAPTER FIVE

(Lexi's Pov)

" Who is that guy? Did you bring all the dangerous rogues home Lexi? What's up with you? Do you not know the consequences of all this?" I see uncle ben rumbling and pacing around the room.

While I sat around the circular table in the drawing-room with an attached library.

"Umm relax Uncle, you know I don't do anything without thinking precisely about it. I want something from them. I am gonna let them go if they tell me the truth, or if they wanna stay here as my pack members they will have to prove themselves to me," I say with a serious tone, Uncle knew the tone he gulped and nodded.

" You have officially gone crazy Lexi", he pulls a chair parallel to me and his left-hand finds his temples and starts massaging them.

I roll my eyes," Oh come on uncle you know I can handle all of this, just support me as you always do...hmm?," he looks at me like I have asked for any of his precious organs.

" Okay but you'll have to tell me the whole truth and include me in every plan of yours," he says with curious eyes, he is worried about me.

I sigh and nod with a firm smile," I will," I tell him about the whole scenario.

" so, you are saying that Josh came out of nowhere and saved you for no reason. Lexi, he must have some ulterior motives or you are not telling me the whole truth?" he questions me with narrow eyes telling me that I am caught.

" Uncle, it's not Josh it's Ros, and I mean yeah he says he doesn't have any ulterior motives but I doubt that," I say as heat rises to my cheeks making me feel hotter.

"What do you mean Lexi?" Uncle tilts his head in confusion.

"He-," my voice gets stuck in my throat, I doubt I wanna say these words out loud to anyone.

Heck, I don't even want to acknowledge them myself but I steady myself with a deep breath," He is my Mate," I whisper.

In response, Uncle Ben giggled," ughhh I knew it," I groan with frustration clawing in my chest, clutching my hair with my hands.

"You are BLUSHING, Lexi," I glare at him but he continues to laugh and giggle.

****

" so, Ros I want you to live here with us," I say trying to find words to convince him to stay here because without him I won't be able to handle the other Rogues and they are too dangerous for my people.

He is sitting in front of me scanning the whole room but he looks at me like he wants me to continue. " I will need your help, I just don't want all those Rogues to get abandoned again but I need to make sure that they don't hurt my people," He stares deeply into my eyes.

" But if you don't want this, you can leave nobody will force you," I say without any hesitation, I was sure about all this, he could choose to leave if he didn't want to do this. " and if we are doing this, I have a few conditions," I say as I run my hands through my hair.

" what conditions princess?" he keeps his hands on both sides of the armchairs, relaxing his legs and posture.

More like manspreading, my cheeks heat up suddenly at the sight and I start to shuffle through the drawers set under the table to hide the crimson shade on my face.

I pull out the file of my ancestral history and open it to distract myself from my unholy thoughts, " well, for us I mean you and me to work together I would wanna know about you Mr Miller, like in detail," I sense a Lil discomfort in his demeanour.

But regardless he remains in the same position contemplating. The same position, MANSPREADING. God, my wolf is drolling right now. I shrug off the feeling focusing on Ros.

He slightly nods before sitting up straight, "I belong to the blue moon pack princess but I have been living in the human world since I turned 20 I guess, with my aunt Jenna and Uncle Josh. I have had my fair share of living as a Rogue and as a Human too and now I guess I am gonna have one for living as a werewolf too," he says fiddling with the index fingers of both his hands. Cute.

"Anything else I should know?"I ask trying not to push him too hard, he seemed uncomfortable while sharing information about him earlier. As a matter of fact, who would know better than me what it feels like to see your world crashing? That you just shut the world out.

Being a Rogue at such a young age would have been rough for the little Ros, he seems so kind-hearted.

Earlier I saw him talking, more like laughing with Luca and Marcus, like the three of them were friends for ages.

He mentioned his aunt and uncle,

what about his parents? Although why do I feel like I have heard about the....what was it ahh yes the " blue moon" pack?

I can wait until he opens up to us. I sigh and put my hands out in the air in front of him, asking for his hands. He looks at me with puppy eyes, gosh too much light oh god my poor eyes.

He finally gives his hands to mine. As soon as our skin touches, electricity jolts through my whole body, I am sure he must have felt it too. He shies away and gazes at our hands holding each other. My heart is suddenly filled with warmth. I love this! my wolf roars.

"Little one, you are safe with me, with all of us," I say softly. His eyes become even softer.

I knew from that moment on he is anything but a stranger to me I wasn't just yet ready to accept this fact though.
