The Alpha's Rogue Mate Chapter 61
Jake’s POVThe morning felt wrong.The kind of wrong that didn’t announce itself with alarms or blood — just silence.The air in the fortress was too still, the corridors too quiet, as if the stones themselves were holding their breath.I’d been up since before dawn, my mind circling the same unease that hadn’t let me sleep. Maybe it was instinct, maybe something colder. But when I saw Mara returning from the outer courtyard, her cloak damp, her boots muddy, and the faint, acrid scent of sulfur on her — my gut tightened.She’d smiled when I spoke to her, said she needed air, but wolves like her didn’t lie cleanly. The truth had trembled behind her words like a trapped pulse.Now, standing by the window overlooking the training yard, I couldn’t stop replaying it. The small tear in her hem. The twitch of her eyes when I mentioned the healers’ rounds. The scent that didn’t belong to our world.Something was off.Behind me, the door creaked softly. I didn’t need to turn to know who it was

Mara’s POV“You’re late,” Drake said.His voice cut through the fog before I even saw him.The night clung to the ruins like smoke. Moonlight leaked through the collapsed roof in thin white spears, catching the dust that drifted between us. Every breath I took felt heavy, thick with damp earth and the faint metallic taste of blood-magic.“I couldn’t leave sooner,” I said, stepping over the broken threshold. My cloak snagged on a shard of stone; I tore it free and let the fabric fall around me again. “The patrols have doubled since Jake began sniffing around.”Drake stood at the far end of the ruined shrine, half-hidden by a pillar carved with faded runes. The flickering candlelight made the symbols on his skin shimmer faintly—marks that seemed to crawl and rearrange themselves when he moved.“You’re losing your edge, Mara.” His tone was almost lazy, but it wrapped around me like a noose.“I’m careful,” I answered, forcing calm. “Careful enough that they trust me.”He stepped forward.

Jake’s POV“Something doesn’t sit right with me,” Clara said, her voice low as she crouched by the old brick wall of the northern courtyard.I leaned against the pillar beside her, folding my arms. “You mean besides the fact that Rose’s sisters suddenly decided to forgive and forget?”She glanced over her shoulder at me, a strand of dark hair falling across her face. “Exactly that.”Her tone was sharper than usual, but I’d come to know that when Clara was angry, it wasn’t the fire you had to fear — it was the silence right before.She ran her fingers across the stone, frowning. “Jake, doesn’t this look… different to you?”I pushed off the pillar and crouched beside her. The bricks were old, stained from rain and age, but beneath the surface I could see faint etchings — symbols burned so lightly they looked like shadows.“What the hell…” I muttered, brushing my thumb across one. It pulsed faintly, a dull crimson glow that vanished as quickly as it came.“See?” Clara whispered. “I told

Rose’s POV“You’re always up before the sun, aren’t you?” Mara said, her voice light but still half asleep.I smiled, not looking up from the rose bush I was tending. “The flowers don’t wait for me. They like to greet the morning first.”She laughed softly behind me, a sound I hadn’t heard from her in years. It wasn’t cruel this time. It almost sounded real.The garden was quiet except for the soft hum of bees and the trickle of the fountain nearby. The roses had opened wide under the early light, pale pinks and whites brushing against one another in a soft blur. I loved this hour — the one that belonged to no one but the earth and me.“You’ve made this place beautiful,” Mara said. I could hear her footsteps on the gravel as she came closer. “Peace looks strange on you, little sister. I almost don’t recognize you.”I smiled faintly. “Peace feels strange on me too. But I think I’m getting used to it.”She crouched beside me, her hand brushing the edge of a blossom. Her fingers lingered

Mara’s POVThe fortress slept in uneasy peace. From the upper corridor, it looked calm enough — the torches along the walls burning in even lines, the sentries moving in quiet rhythm, the banners barely shifting in the soft wind. But peace in a place like this was never skin deep. Beneath it, the air still carried the scent of smoke and iron, a faint reminder that this kingdom had been built on ashes.I had learned to listen for the small things. The breathing of guards at their posts. The way a wolf’s claws dragged when exhaustion began to dull instinct. The sound of heavy doors locking for the night.By the time I reached the west tower, all of it had gone silent. The stone steps were slick with dew that had crept in through the narrow slits of the wall. The cold was sharper here, untouched by fire. I climbed slowly, careful with my footing, my cloak trailing behind like a shadow that had grown tired of pretending to belong to me.The top of the tower opened into a small circular ro

Lucas’s POVThe first sign that something was wrong wasn’t the whispers.It was the silence.The fortress had grown too still these past few days, the kind of silence that came when wolves held their breath, waiting for the ground to tremble. Even the guards moved softer, their boots careful against the stone, their laughter muted as if they were afraid of waking something sleeping.I could feel it too.A shift.Small at first, like the prickle of fur rising along a wolf’s neck before a storm.When Rose laughed in the mornings, the sound carried through the courtyard like sunlight. But now, that same laughter came softer — hesitant, a little too measured, as if she was thinking before every word. I noticed it most after her walks with Mara.She had insisted on those walks. “They need me to believe in them,” she’d said. “They need to see that forgiveness is real.”Forgiveness was a noble thing.But noble things could still bleed you dry.I stood on the northern balcony that overlooked
