The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Chapter 84
We crept out of the infirmary and Jackson held onto my hand tightly, keeping me behind him. He mentioned briefly that his bracelet from Clarissa protected him from being seen so long as his movements didnโt draw anyoneโs attention.I had faith in Jackson and in Clarissa so I stood behind him and let him lead us out of the infirmary. I was glad that Clarissa had done what she did, because not only did it mean she was looking out for Jackson but she wanted me back too.Even though heโd explained this to me, I was still shocked when we werenโt immediately attacked by the multiple wolves patrolling the area. It looked like no one had even seen us and I let out a quiet sigh of relief as I stuck close to Jackson.Even when someone walked close to us, they didn't seem to notice us. It gave me more confidence in Clarissa's abilities (not that I had any doubt to begin with).Jackson glanced around too, watching for even the slightest of movements like the warrior he was before he took his fir

How did he know we were here? We hadnโt been gone for very long, there was no way he couldโve organised all of this in that short time. I wouldnโt have been surprised if there had been a couple of wolves chasing us or a warning howl, but everything had been silent.โDid you really believe Iโd leave you unsupervised whilst in recovery?โ Frederick asked snarkily as he took a step forward.Jackson tensed, looking at all the wolves surrounding us, debating his odds. If he attacked first how many would he be able to take down before he was overwhelmed? I could see the cogs turning in his head before he turned to me slightly. Another problem, heโd be trying to protect me as well. His odds of winning would decrease rapidly if he had me to think about too.โYou have your Blessed Silver,โ Jackson spat, โLet her go.โFrederick tutted, โYes, yes I do, but you see, Jackson,โ It was a blatant insult not to use his alpha title in front of the rest of this pack, โthere are two things that you fail

Jacksonโs POVNo. No that couldnโt be true. There was absolutely no way in hell he wouldโve sent his head warrior and adored witch alone to my pack, not when Iโd left it in Christianโs capable hands with Clarissa supporting him,I didnโt have to worry about that. I didnโt.I had faith in my friend. Christian had done more than enough to earn his place at my side as my beta. All the warriors had also earned their spot and even the healers were no strangers to a fight every now and again.Thatโs why I organised the weekly training so that everyone felt like they had a fair chance in a fight. The only people I was concerned about were the elders of my pack and the pups.I didnโt want Fredrick to know that he had me frazzled by his threat and whilst I tried to control my emotions I couldnโt help but keep thinking of everything that could go wrong back at the pack:Were Clarissaโs wards reinforced?Was Melanie stronger than Clarissa?Would Christian be able to stop Marcus if the two met in

Elise's POV The moonless sky gave a sense of impending doom as both alphas glared at each other with different emotions. Fredrick was smiling and cocky like he knew there was no way he was going to win. Jackson was deathly quiet, trying not to give any of his thoughts or feelings away. Did Jackson secretly have that same confidence that Frerick had or was he just as terrified as I was?I could hardly believe what Jackson had just said. Heโd challenged Fredrick to a dual. Alpha Fredrick of the New Moon pack, one of the most vicious alphas and packs in our shifter world. If Fredrick were human he would either be a serial killer or a money-hungry politician.Despite Jackson being a powerful alpha and leading a strong pack at such an age, he was still young. I doubted he'd been in real life-threatening fights since he'd lost his parents, or at the very least I doubted that he had fought on his own.Fredrick, however, was a veteran of fights. He had been undefeated for decades and had kil

Jacksonโs POVI waited for Fredrick to move first. If we began to circle each other Iโd be worried that my back would be exposed. It was the first rule of a fight, you donโt leave your back or your neck unprotected, especially when shifted, they were two of the most vulnerable points of a wolfโs body, one swipe too deep and it was game over.I didnโt even risk turning around to give Elise a final comforting glance, or to give her a final goodbye in case everything went wrong.I didnโt want to think about that. Because the only thing that was keeping me going was thinking that at the end of this fight, Iโd be able to swoop Elise in my arms, claim her lips and mark her as mine once and for all.The standoff didnโt last too long, just enough to get my heart pumping. Suddenly Fredrick lunged towards me, baring his teeth threateningly as if he was going to tear my head off in one swift movement. I didnโt plan on going down that easily.I easily dodged and now the two of us were in the ine

Elise's POV I shouldโve been more prepared knowing that this was a fight to the death. Even if it wasnโt, we were still surrounded by Fredrickโs pack. I knew that this pack wouldnโt play fair and yet I still didnโt anticipate the dirty moves they would pull.I was watching the fight intensely, monitoring every movement both wolves made.Every lunge and bite and scratch was agony to watch as I waited for the final blow, hoping it wouldnโt be Jackson dead on the floor. I flinched every time Fredrick got his claws in my mate as if he was hurting me instead, but every time Jackson pushed back a sense of pride flooded me and I wanted to cheer him on.The first slash that Fredrick had given Jackson seemed to knock him down for a moment and I thought maybe it had just hit a sore or sensitive spot. However, Jackson didn't let his guard down, and he evaded the next attack and used his environment to his advantage.Then Jackson had the upper hand after knocking Fredrickโs head and landing blow

Elise's POVThere was silence as I spoke except for Poppyโs low warning growl as she kept twisting my arm. But I wouldnโt break, not this time, not when Jackson needed me the most. I kept my stare level with Fredrickโs, not wanting to be the first to break it, even to check on Jackson.Jackson was strong, he wasnโt dead. He wasnโt dead yet. I just had to keep telling myself that so I wouldnโt look away.I was being brave, braver than I'd been in a long time. This was the man who'd tortured my father, who'd murdered my family and who butchered more people than I could count, but only now could I stand up to him. Only now I could bargain.Frederick took forever to debate in his head his next move and for a dreaded moment I was worried that it wasnโt going to work and Iโd still be forced to watch my mate die. Fredrick's grip on Jackson's neck didn't tighten or loosen for a very long time and my heart pounded in my ears with each passing second.Gradually, Fredrick slowly opened his jaws

Jacksonโs POVThis couldnโt be happening. I refused to let it happen.I was broken and bloodied, my wounds burning with an immense pain that I didnโt know was possible but the worst pain was watching the scene in front of me helplessly. Elise was in the arms of Fredrick, trembling as he placed his hands in a way that made my blood boil. This wasnโt how it was supposed to go. If he hadnโt had that damned Blessed Silver coating his claws I couldโve beaten him. Though I should've expected that kind of underhanded activity from him, he had no intention of fighting fair afterll.But that was what happened and I was now being held back by two inferior wolves, who, if I had my full strength couldn't have held me down even if they tried, watching my beloved mate about to be lost to me forever.Iโd heard Eliseโs offer loud and clear and tried to fight through the pain rocketing my body, but the Blessed Silver had weakened me and Iโd lost connection with Darius.

The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Epilogue
Fredrick's POV It wasnโt over. Not by a long shot.In that dungeon, trapped like a common animal I had time to think. And in that time I thought of all the ways I could make them suffer. Make Jackson, the puny brat who barely deserved the title alpha pay, and most of all make Elise suffer ten times over.Iโd planned to play nice, it wouldnโt do if the other packs saw me abuse my luna, but now I had no choice. I still needed her, her visions of the future would help me take control of the world, but I only needed her alive, not comfortable.โAlpha Fredrick, Master Caius requests your presence,โ One of the filthy thralls knocked at my door, daring to order me around.I flashed my canines at the servant, but he was too drained to flinch or show any kind of emotion.I stood without doing more to acknowledge the thrall as I left the private room Caius had designated for me. I think he meant to be insulting. I was an honoured guest yet I got a โspareโ room and was being ordered around by a
The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Chapter 108
Elise's POVWe wasted no time hurrying to the dungeons, barely letting the warriorโs words sink in as we hurried into a run. I was a luna now, their luna, I didnโt have the privilege of time to be worried or scared because now I had people to protect.I barely felt myself breathe as I ran to the dungeons where Fredrick had last been held. We entrusted Christian with keeping the pack calm as we went to investigate.All the warriors were on guard and Jackson had given orders, โSecure the grounds and gather the trackers for footprints or anything we can use to find them!โWhen we saw the cells, they were still locked tightly, but the three of them had gone. There were no signs of struggle against the bars or the locks, no damage to the interior walls and the smell of wolfsbane was still thick in the cells.It was like theyโd just vanished.I might've believed that too if it weren't for multiple guards passed out besides the three cells, not a mark on their body but looking pale and uncom
The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Chapter 107
Eliseโs POVMy heart was hammering as the rope was wrapped around our wrists and I couldnโt help but stare lovingly at my mate. He was looking at me the same way and I felt like crying.This was it. This was my family. This was my home.My first encounter with Jackson had been me rejecting a pack, and now I was accepting one.โHonoured guests,โ Clarissa started, โWe are gathered here today, not just to join two mates together for eternity, but to welcome Elise Clares into our pack as our Luna.โCheers erupted from the crowd and I found myself checkling, a happy tear escaping from my eye. I saw Annabelle and Christian yelling the loudest with Doctor Heath holding his mate close to him and kissing her at the top of her head.โDo you, Alpha Jakson of the Full Moon pack accept Elise Clares as your destined mate?โโI do,โ Jackson said without any hesitation as his grip on my hands tightened slightly, โFrom the moment I met you Elise, I felt something pulling me towards you. At first, I tho

Jackson's POVI took a deep breath feeling more nervous than Iโd ever felt in my entire life. I was wearing a dark blue suit with a white rose pinned to my breast pocket, my hair styled and slicked back with The Alphaโs Crown placed securely on my head and my face cleanly shaven for once. Christian had said if I didnโt shave it he was going to strap me to a chair and do it himself. As much as I trusted my Beta, I didn't exactly want slices on my chin for my wedding day.I ran a hand over the smooth skin and tried to remember the last time Iโd shaved it properly instead of trimmed, I'd always found the scruffy look made me look more intimidating and I was pretty sure Elise liked it. Oh well, I could grow it back. It seemed like I was trying to think of just about anything to pass the time as I waited fro Elise and tried not to fidget like an idiot.Christian was smirking next to me and I managed to subtly jab him in the ribs.I remembered making fun of him as he waited for Annabelle du
The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Chapter 105
Eliseโs POVFrom the second I woke up I was pampered by Clarissa and Annabelle who seemed to be more excited than me for the Luna Ceremony, which was saying a lot considering I was jittering with nerves and excitement. I never expected to accept this kind of arrangement so quickly but it just felt like the right thing to do. I wanted this ceremony to happen, I wanted to officially be Jacksonโs mate for the world to see and be the Luna of this amazing pack that I now called family.Annabelle shoved me into a large bath filled with so many bubbles, salts and essential oils that I didnโt think the smell of lilies and roses would ever leave my skin.Then they pulled me into a chair as they dried and styled my hair for what seemed like hours, not in a negative way because the two of them made me laugh as we took photos and told funny stories. They curled my hair so it fell like a wave against my back before they braided and tied it so I looked like a blonde Celtic princess.The makeup came
The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Chapter 104
Jackson's POVAfter we managed to get some kind of normalcy in the pack, there was still an air of stress and anxiety. We had multiple members of Fredrickโs pack join us and made sure we kept them far away from the dungeons and monitored them sufficiently just in case anyone tried to break Fredrick and the others out.โThe guards and warriors wonโt be too rough with them, will they?โ Elise asked the last time I saw her, clutching my arm as she watched some of the refugees being directed to their houses looking terrified.I shook my head in assurance, โNo, they have strict orders to treat them carefully unless they prove to be a threat, even then they are to take them down with as much force as is necessary and take them to the dungeon.โNo one had seemed to try to convince any of my guards to let them pass into the dungeon or even look that way. Instead, they looked somewhat relieved to know that their former alpha was imprisoned there. Nor did they try to fight my pack. Elise was rig
The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Chapter 103
Elise's POVIt was strange walking through the dungeon, free and in charge rather than as a prisoner. Iโd been held captive twice in two different dungeons and had to admit that I wasnโt a fan. Maybe that was because I hadnโt deserved it, but neither had the people who got experimented on at Fredrickโs hand. I felt no sympathy or empathy for the ex-alpha as we reached his cell.There were five guards posted in the dungeons, two to watch Fredrick, two to watch Melanie and one to watch Poppy. They all seemed serious and offered Jackson, Christian and me a bow of respect before immediately resuming their posture and attention.As we rounded to Fredrickโs cell, I had to stop and stare.He looked terrible, not the large, imposing alpha who made everyone tremble at just the mention of his name. His clothes were dirty and ripped, his hair was a greasy mess and he looked like a feral animal. I never thought it was possible to see him looking so pathetic and powerless.I noticed the large amou

Elise's POVJackson asked if I wanted to move into the Pack House before the Luna Ceremony and I accepted. But before I could do that, I wanted to go back to the house Iโd lived in when I first came to the pack. Before I could move into somewhere new, I wanted to say goodbye.I hadnโt lived in that house long, but it was the first thing that was mine and held a lot of memories like first connecting with Annabelle and Christian, the movie nights with Annabelle and just a general sense of safety and security.โI can go with you if you want,โ Jackson offered when I first brought up the idea. โNo, thank you,โ I said softly, smiling at him, โI donโt have much to moveโฆ Itโs just to say goodbye.โHe didnโt argue or protest, he simply gave me a kiss on the cheek before I headed off.As I walked through the pack, I couldnโt help but reminisce how everything was different now. The first time I was newly out of chains and was being escorted to my new home by Christian. Everyone looked at me war
The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Chapter 101
Elise's POV It was a question weโd all been dreading and I knew that it was partially my fault. If it wasnโt for me then Fredrick would be dead in the dirt and the packs would have one less thing to worry about. But he wasnโt dead and though I knew it was the right decision I also knew that a lot of the other wolves, both in the council room or not would find it difficult to understand.โWith all due respect, Luna, would you mind explaining further as to why we canโt kill him?โ Doctor Heath asked me, treating me like his luna already though we hadnโt had the ceremony yet. The others might have been saying it out of respect but I knew that Doctor Heath had meant it. He had been one of my first friends when I came here and he'd helped me through so much that I could never thank him enough for it.โI know itโs hard to believe, but a long time ago my family were blessed by The Moon Goddess.โI paused, waiting for some kind of negative reaction. Encountering The Moon Goddess was rare and
