The Rogue's Reluctant Mate 41 - A Year
SELENA_____A year.Twelve months. Three hundred and sixty-five days of being unmade and remade in Austin Kaelen’s image.Or maybe, just stripped bare to the monster that had always lurked beneath my Omega skin. The girl who’d been dragged to the Grayling River, weighted with stones, was a ghost. A faint, pathetic whisper in the past. I didn’t mourn her. She’d been too weak to save our parents. Too weak to survive..I stood in the center of Austin’s private training field, the early morning mist curling around my ankles. My breathing was even, controlled, despite the rigorous katas I’d just completed with the twin fighting knives he’d given me. They felt like extensions of my own hands now, cold, sharp, and deadly. My body was a weapon— honed, conditioned, responsive. My mind? Sharper still. Colder. Rachel’s lessons in human chatter and Miss Albright’s academic drills had layered a veneer of civility over the core of ruthless pragmatism Austin had cultivated. I could smile, ma
The Rogue's Reluctant Mate 40 - The First Kill
“What...what now?” she asked, her voice barely a whisper. She looked at the body sprawled at her feet, then back at me. “Now,” I said, my voice dropping, becoming softer, more intimate, “we deal with the aftermath.” I tucked the knife into my belt. My gaze held hers. This moment, this shared kill, this brutal baptism. It had forged a new link between us, darker and stronger than before. I leaned in, slowly, giving her time to react, to pull away. She didn’t. She stood her ground, her eyes wide, watching me, waiting. Her scent, a mix of her own unique musk, blood, and fear turned adrenaline, was intoxicating. My lips brushed hers, a feather-light touch. Not a kiss of passion, not like before. This was something different. Slower. Deeper. An acknowledgment. A claiming. A reward. She let out a shaky breath, her eyelids fluttering closed. Her lips were soft, pliant under mine. I deepened the kiss, slowly, deliberately, tasting her, tasting the lingering metallic tang of blood and
The Rogue's Reluctant Mate 39 - Shock, Adrenaline
for a split second, I saw a flicker of something in her eyes. Surprise or hesitation Then it was gone, replaced by that chilling, predatory focus. She didn’t question me. She didn’t argue. She just nodded, a tiny, sharp movement. The hitman, a burly figure in dark clothing, stepped out from behind a stack of crates, his weapon raised, scanning for me. He hadn’t seen Selena. His mistake. She moved like a wraith. Silent. Fast. All those brutal hours with Jaron, all those agonizing sessions with me, all that pain and fear and rage I’d cultivated, it coalesced into this single, deadly moment. She didn’t charge mindlessly. She used the shadows, her movements fluid, economical, a dark blur against the grimy brick. He sensed her at the last second, starting to turn, his eyes widening in surprise. Too late. Selena was on him. She didn’t go for a flashy move, no wasted effort. She slammed into his side, her smaller body using leverage and speed, knocking him off balance. The combat kni
The Rogue's Reluctant Mate 38 - Stay Down!
AUSTIN_____The human world was a cesspit of its own unique design. Deceit wrapped in silk, betrayal served on silver platters. My dealings in it were a necessary evil, a way to amass the kind of power that transcended pack hierarchies and brute strength. But it came with its own brand of vermin. Tonight, one of those vermin decided to scurry out from the shadows.We were leaving a discreet meeting at a warehouse complex down by the industrial waterfront— one of my less glamorous but highly profitable shipping ventures. The kind of place where deals were made in cash and questions weren’t asked. Selena was with me, a silent shadow in the dark, practical clothing I’d had Silas procure for these less...public outings. She’d become adept at fading into the background when necessary, a useful trait. Her senses, however, were always on high alert. I’d made sure of that.“Stay sharp, Freckles,” I’d murmured as we exited the dimly lit office, the scent of stale coffee and desperation clin
The Rogue's Reluctant Mate 37 - Devil's Bargain
I screamed, a raw, animalistic sound, and lunged at him, all thought of technique gone, replaced by a blind, desperate rage. I clawed at his face, kicked, bit, fought with the desperation of a cornered animal.He didn’t try to block me, not really. He absorbed my frantic attacks, a strange, almost predatory smile playing on his lips. He let me vent my fury, my pain, my despair, until I was sobbing, exhausted, clinging to him, my fists weakly beating against his chest.“Yes,” he whispered, his voice a low, satisfied growl against my hair. “That’s it. Let it out. Let the beast out, Selena.”His arms came around me, holding me tight, not in comfort, but in....possession. His body was hard against mine, his scent filling my senses. The rage was still there, a wild, thrashing thing inside me, but it was now tangled with something else. That familiar, shameful heat. That terrifying awareness of him, of his power, of his sheer, undeniable masculinity.“You feel it, don’t you, Freckles?” he
The Rogue's Reluctant Mate 36 - Fury
The psychological toll of these lessons wasimmense. Some nights, I’d wake up screaming, the images of blood and dying eyes seared into my brain. Other nights, I’d dream of Austin, his touch, his voice, the terrifying mix of pain and pleasure he could evoke. I was becoming harder, colder, more like him. And it scared the hell out of me. But the thought of revenge, the burning need to make them pay... it was the only thing that kept me going.“You’re still too hesitant in wolf form,” Austin said a few days later. We were deep in the woods, both shifted. He was the massive black wolf, I the smaller mahogany one. He’d been pushing me, making me hunt, making me bring down prey larger than rabbits , a young deer this time.I’d managed it, but it had been clumsy, a desperate, messy kill that had left me shaken. My wolf instincts were there, but they were still overlaid with too much human.... morality, I guess.{You think too much Selena!} his voice echoed in my mind, the telepathic lin
