Madeline’s POV

I startle awake, my body sweaty and my chest rising and falling hard.

When will I get over this nightmare?

I stand from the bed and walk over to the bathroom to wash my face, then towards the door, expecting to find Elisha banging on it like a damn maniac.

But there's no one there.

No sarcastic commentary. No forced meditation. No awkwardly cheery “let’s not die today” pep talk.

Just… silence.

I shut the door with a groan. The ache in my muscles from yesterday’s spar is still there but it’s not much of a discomfort. I sit back on my bed, rubbing my eyes and waiting for Elisha to barge in st any moment but he doesn't.

Getting tired of waiting, I remove my sleeping garments, putting on the black pants and a fitted top they gave me. It smells faintly of smoke. I lace up the boots and step out of the room.

The camp seems to be in an active states as people move about, doing something.

Wolves move in clusters. Some carry crates, others spar near the training grounds. There'

  • An Alpha Queen's Rogue    Home.

    Lucian’s POVThe ride back to my territory feels longer than it should. The weight of the council meeting still clings to me, long hours of debate, whispers of shifting alliances, and the loses we all faced. But as the trees open and the scent of home hits me, something inside me finally loosens.We’re close.Brad’s warriors march in formation beside us, disciplined and steady. Their black kevlar suits absorbing the pale afternoon sun, their weapons polished with no hint of blood from past battles but still held close. A reminder that this peace we fight for is fragile, always just one heartbeat away from war.The gates of my pack rise before me, tall wooden beams reinforced with steel. And there, waiting just beyond them, is the sight that drives all the exhaustion from my body.Madeline.She stands at the front of the group, her hair loosed around her shoulders. Beside her, I Ariella with a small smile on her face. Her hand brushes against Claw’s as if even the smallest touch ground

  • An Alpha Queen's Rogue    Promise.

    Chapter 89Luther ’s POVI pace back and forth in the damp cellar, fists clenching, jaw tight. The stink of rot doesn’t bother me anymore, it matches the bitterness boiling inside me. Too many loses I've taken from that asshole, Lucian. He's managed to take my two mates without even trying. Every time I close my eyes, I see his stupid face grinding with my mates standing behind him. My lip curls. “She was mine first,” I mutter to the shadows. “Fate doesn’t get to change its mind. She was mine.”“You talk too much,” a voice rasps from the corner.I spin around. The man sitting on a crate doesn’t flinch. He’s human. Mortal. But there’s nothing weak about him. His scarred face, his calm stare looks like someone who’s seen death and walked away laughing. A hunter. One of the men I’ve been searching for.I narrow my eyes. “And you listen too much.”He smirks. “That’s why I’m still alive.”I walk closer, sizing him up. Broad shoulders, faded tattoos across his arms. His clothes smell of o

  • An Alpha Queen's Rogue    Simulation.

    Madeline’s POVThe air is thick with mist and sweat when Cancer circles me like a predator. The training grounds are quiet except for the scrape of claws and the hum of electricity in my veins. I’m already panting, my chest burning, but he doesn’t let up.“Again,” he says, his voice low, dangerous. “You’re still holding back.”“I’m not,” I snap, sparks licking at my fingertips. My wolf snarls in my head, urging me to stop wasting breath, stop wasting time.“Then prove it,” Cancer growls, motioning to the twins across from me.Lyra and Cyra move as one, sound and shadow weaving together in a blur. Lyra snaps her fingers and a sonic crack rips through the air, vibrating in my chest like it’s about to split me in half. At the same time, Cyra melts into darkness, reappearing behind me.I spin, lightning dancing down my arm, and blast a bolt backward. It lights up the shadows, but Cyra is already gone, his dark chuckles echoing from the void.“Sloppy,” Lyra taunts. “You’re aiming where I w

  • An Alpha Queen's Rogue    Rock.

    Claw’s POVThe cold morning air bites at my skin as I stand on the training grounds, watching the fighters train. The sky is gray, heavy with the kind of silence that presses on your chest. My recruits, no, our recruits, stand in sloppy lines, their heads hanging, their shoulders slumped. Their wolves are restless, their eyes darting everywhere but at me.They look broken and scared.I grind my teeth. Broken wolves don’t survive.“Form tighter lines,” I bark, my voice cutting through the stillness like a whip. “If you can’t even stand straight, then you may as well dig your graves now. Balthazar won’t hesitate to put you in them.”A few flinch. Some straighten. Most just shift uneasily.Pathetic.I pace before them, arms folded, claws threatening to slide out of my skin. “I can smell it on you,” I snarl. “Doubt. Fear. Whispered words in the dark about whether Lucian can still lead you.” My chest tightens when I say his name. I push it down, bury it beneath fury. “You think because he

  • An Alpha Queen's Rogue    Stress.

    Ryker’s POVI take a deep breath, in attempt to calm my nerves, but I regret it immediately. The smell of blood, piss and antiseptics assault me.Pinching the bridge of my nose for a few seconds with the hope of getting rid of the scent, I throw a wide grin to the helper that bows at the sight of me as I make my way to where the sick are being held. Well, I try not to run all the way there, making me ignore every scene that involves needles.Everybody's got demons. Mine just involves a very pointy metal.I stand by the doorframe when I get there, trying to collect myself with the facade of keeping my arms crossed while scanning the rows of beds. Wolves are laid out, stitched up, groaning, breathing too shallow. All of them battered from the last mess we had encountered. And in the far corner, I spot her.Fang.She’s propped against a mountain of pillows like she owns the damn place, a bandage across her side, her arms crossed, a scowl carved onto her face. She sees me, of course. Her

  • An Alpha Queen's Rogue    Defeat.

    Lucian’s POVThe first thing I notice when I open my eyes is the ceiling. It’s white, too white, and bright. The second thing I notice is that I can’t move without my whole body screaming in protest.I try anyway. My arms shake, my ribs burn, and when I push myself up, it feels like someone shoved a blade through my chest. I collapse back onto the bed with a grunt.“Careful.”The voice comes from my right. Calm. Feminine. Annoyingly unbothered.“You’ll tear the thread they stitched you up with,” she adds.I turn towards the voice to behold a light skinned lady with dark hair pulled back, glasses sliding down her nose, a book balanced on her lap as she scribbles notes. A healer. She doesn’t even look up when she speaks again.“I’ve already mindlinked the council members,” she says. “As per their request. They’ll be here soon.”I open my mouth to tell her I don’t need the damn council, but I don’t get the chance.The door bursts open.Silvia steps in first, regal as ever, her silver rob
