Raija's Rogue Alpha Mate

Raija’s pov"Raija, you really should not leave today, Tonight is the full moon, you should stay with me here until tomorrow before returning to your small cottage.""I know, Mom, but I should have left a week ago," I replied while checking the glass bottles containing the potion. “Plus, my cat needs me. I can’t leave him alone much longer.”I looked up at the night sky through the window. The big silver moon hangs low in the black night sky, almost illuminating the whole night. Dark energy reaches its peak during the full moon night. As a young witch, I have a lot of work to do.“Fine, I can never change your mind. Just put on your cloak when you're out of the Black Storm pack’s territory.” Mom said while opening the door for me. “Werewolves are at their strongest during the full moon. Don’t take the risk of going outside during the full moon." "But us witches can get the strongest energy during a full moon too, right? I won’t have any issues.” I smiled, walked out, and quickly hug

Raija povThe smell of a wet dog filled the air of my home. I opened my eyes as I lay on my bed. The sun's rays were casting muted rainbow colors to illuminate my cream-colored walls as they shined through my hanging crystals."Here kitty, kitty," I called out, not seeing my cat lying down near my feet. Sitting up and glancing out my bedroom window I furrowed my brow. That annoying man from the previous night was standing outside with his bare back to me. Do all werewolves like to be naked? Exhaling deeply, I rose from my bed and grabbed my robe. Walking barefoot to my front door, I continued calling out for my cat. Seeing the living room blinds awkwardly bent, and my still packed boxes in the middle of the room, I hissed. Moving the boxes and then the blinds I could see the window screen was torn in. I cursed knowing my cat had to have escaped outside. It wasn't the first time since I had moved here. Gritting my teeth, I unbolted my door to see Axel wiping black fur from his fa

Raija's pov"There aren't many individuals like me in this place or you for that matter," Axel commented as our groceries were being rung up. Side-eyeing him I smiled and tilted my head toward the clerk who was currently awaiting payment. Thankfully, she was ignoring his words and looked bored of her job. Nearing Axel after handing the cashier a few bills I mumbled quietly, "No, there isn't so take your own advice and don't mention it among the populace." His eyes narrowed as he nodded briskly. I collected my change while he grabbed the bags. Walking back to my truck, Axel elbowed my side. Giving him a berating glance he smiled as he raised the bags he carried."I will pay you back but where do you want these?"Pointing to the truck bed he obliged. Watching him I realized the wolfman was pretty handy. Getting situated on the driver's side I put my hand to my chest. My heart was a jackhammer in my chest. "Yours too eh?" He commented as he buckled himself. Raising my brow at him, I not

Axel's pov Watching Raija lean over and tear the cardboard over the firepit, I noticed her hair fall to the side and get pert bottom rise into the air. My eyes narrowed while my hands raised, wanting very badly to grasp her hips and thrust."You will frighten our mate if you act on your current thoughts. You need to cool it down before she has us banned from her home," Cota warned in my subconscious."Her scent is driving me crazy! I want her underneath me. Look at her tiny ass perked up like that, tempting me!" I replied through my gritted teeth. Cota growled a warning and Raija turned her head narrowing her eyes at me."What did you say, Mister?" Shaking my head I smiled at her bent over the firepit. I was sure she saw my eyes staring at her cute tush. My eyes went to hers and I grinned."I asked if you needed me to strike a flint. I have one in my pocket that I use in my cave to start my fires." Raija lifted her hand and laughed, flicking a bic."I have a lighter that works just

Axel's pov "I'm going to go put your clothes in the dryer," Raija announced as she scurried off. My eyes followed after her."She announced that you are her protector!" Cota howled in my mind bringing a smile to my face. Catching movement in my peripherals, I watch Sawyer saunter through the living room and down the hall."Tom says he is going to bed…our mate's bed," My wolf growled. Narrowing my eyes at the feline, I huff and start collecting the tools I used to fix her door to put back in the toolbox."Raija considers him a security blanket so I must allow their special bond to continue." With my hands full I head downstairs and see Raija shaking out my damp jeans so they won't wrinkle in the dryer. After putting the tools away I watched as she scurried past me and rushed up the stairs. "What do you think is bothering her now?" I asked my wolf.Cota whined, "I don't know, I do not know how a woman's mind works." Rolling my eyes, I went back upstairs and to the kitchen to see her
