The Rogues Forbidden Mate Chapter 1 : Run
CW: Mentions of domestic abuse and sexual assaultSeraphina's POVA nightmare.Recurring every time I closed my eyes. My stomach would drop and my fingers would go cold. My husband, the bane of my existence, would stand over me, a cruel grin on his lips. Madness gleamed in his eyes. A glinting silver blade in his hand. The hilt was off-white like dried bone. Ancient runes carved into it. Old magic. Dark magic. Magicks my family warned me to steer clear from time and time again. Dark as the abyss beneath us all. The magic you can't ever come back from. A shrill cry from the corner of the circle. My daughter. Her wails like a warning. Begging me to get up. Move.Fight.My limbs felt heavy. My screams fell silent. Like trying to wade through waist-deep water soaking into garments. Sinking me with every step. Deeper and deeper into the muddy silt. But I tried. I fought. I clawed my way through it, but every time, I failed.He caught up to me before I could get to
The Rogues Forbidden Mate Chapter 2 : Settled
Seraphina's POV:I didn't know much about the Outskirts. Only that it was home to the outcasts. Shifters with no pack or clan. Unaligned fae. Refugees also would flee to the Outskirts to evade war. William's doing. His bloodthirst extended across the entire continent, leaving the Outskirts the only place untouched by it. The border wasn't what I imagined it would look like. No gates or walls or border soldiers. Open. Only partially hidden by a thicket of woods. Trees that seemed to touch the sky with grand sprawling branches, reminded me of the trees back home.Beautiful, and full of life that stood the test of time. Until William started a war with my people. An insatiable hunger to devour the land. Garner more subjects. More people to leer over. The final thing William did to my home was burning our trees to the ground. And our traditions, the immaculate green landscape, and all hope became ash. We were losing. The council was running out of options. At that point in
The Rogues Forbidden Mate Chapter 3 : New People
Seraphina's POVFour weeks later…The smell of bacon and eggs filled the kitchen as Rosie got ready for the farmers market. Annika giggled happily while she stacked and knocked over her blocks in the living room. I took some fresh pancakes and cut them into fun shapes for Annika. Rosie came down the stairs, dressed sensibly for her stand at the farmers market. "You didn't have to make me breakfast," Rosie said, but I could tell by the tone of her voice, she was grateful."Hey, you said I could start helping out when I started feeling better," I reminded her, waving my egg spatula in the air. "Well, thank you, Sera. I appreciate it.""Least I could do," I replied, getting a plate ready for Rosie. I put it down on the table for her before grabbing Annika and sitting her in her high chair. Then Annika instantly splattered herself with butter. Babbling and stuffing her mouth unabashedly. I'm sure many people found it gross, but I didn't mind the mess as long as she enjo
The Rogues Forbidden Mate Chapter 4 : Getting Comfortable
Kit's POVWhen I was a boy, my older brother would push me into the mud. Tell me I was worthless. That I'd never find a mate. He told me I was cursed, malformed, the reason our mother died during my birth. It only got worse into my teen years, and eventually when he took up the mantle of Shifter King and banished me off the Blood Moon packlands. I don't know what I did to him to garner his animosity. But now I knew everything Will said was a lie. I wasn't cursed.Or worthless.Destined to never find my mate.Because how could it be true, when my mate was standing right in front of me? My wolf moved around restlessly, more excited than he's been in years. Her scent was altered, but I could still feel the tether. Warm and glowing white inside of me. It tightened in my chest, flooding my entire body with heat. My hand was still tingling where she shook it. I knew she was mine the moment I laid eyes on her. Even in a hoodie sweatshirt a few sizes too large, blonde ha
The Rogues Forbidden Mate Chapter 5 : Farmer's Market
Seraphina's POVAfter a few days, I received word from Abe. Rosie brought home a letter from the post office. At first glance, it just looked like a casual letter telling Rosie how much he loves and misses her. But as Rosie broke out the codec, Abe was saying so much more.So far, William spent his evenings the same way he did while I was there. In the company of entertainers. Drowning himself in booze and drugs. It was a miracle he sobered up enough by the morning to lead the city. Abe was certain William wasn't actively looking for us yet. But chances are the elders would start breathing down his neck if I didn't show up soon. After all, I also had his heir. He ended the letter by promising updates as they came and how he hoped Annika and I were getting the home we needed.When Rosie told me the last part, I nearly burst into tears. Grateful that someone like Abe was looking after me. And now his daughter helped me stand on my own two feet. Mainly, I felt relieved Abe was al
The Rogues Forbidden Mate Chapter 6 : A New Hobby
Kit's POVUsing a little pocket knife, I was whittling something out of a little cube of sycamore wood. It was nice to have my hands busy while my mind wandered. I had no idea what I was trying to carve, and it was coming out…horribly. Oh, well, nothing was ever perfect on the first try anyways. After spending the afternoon with Sera at the farmer's market, I spent the week doing odd jobs around town. Just the usual. Fixing pipes.Laying framework for concrete.Random kitchen renovations.I enjoyed the work, and my clients liked having me around. When I first came to the Outskirts, ten years ago now, I had almost nothing. Only Rosie by my side and deep puncture wounds that would mark my skin for the rest of my life. That first year was rough, moving from place to place, and trying to figure out where I belonged.Rosie got a job at Reiner Ranch but had a natural talent for agriculture. I was never a natural talent at anything. Never a natural expert at craftsman
The Rogues Forbidden Mate Chapter 7 : Movie Night
Seraphina's POV"Oh, no. Don't have sex with him! He's clearly the killer!" I muttered, fisting my hands into my hair as the final girl character started undressing in front of the sketchy boyfriend. As ridiculous as the plot was, cheesy slasher flicks were my guilty pleasure. "No, no. That's too obvious. It's gotta be her best friend," Kit rebutted, eating a handful of popcorn, feet propped up on the ottoman. The black t-shirt he wore clung to his arms, distracting me just as much as they did in the kitchen. "Well, if it is the best friend, then the boyfriend is about to get murdered," I replied, reaching into the bowl and popping some popcorn into my mouth. The spice mix I made danced on my tastebuds. Cheesy and salty. I really outdid myself. "I think the big carnal rule of horror movies is to not fuck anyone until the killer is caught," he continued casually. I'd never heard him curse before, but I'd also never seen him when I didn't have Annika with me.I cleared my th
The Rogues Forbidden Mate Chapter 8 : Late-Night Phone Call
Seraphina's POVLaying in my bed, wearing some loose PJs with wet hair from my shower. Annika was in the next room over, sleeping soundly by the sound of the baby monitor.The ache between my legs hadn't gone away. Not even with how much I twisted and turned, trying not to think about how Kit touched me in the kitchen.And how good it felt.But damn it, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Kit swam through my head, the memory of his lips brushing mine. I wanted more. And if Rosie hadn't walked in, I would've gotten up on my tippy toes and kissed him back. I would've thrown my arms around his neck and I would have finally figured out if his arms were as hard as they looked. For a moment, I pondered the fantasy.Pressing my body against his, tasting the inside of his mouth. Felt what it was like to be kissed by someone who cared. Would he have picked me up and sat me on the counter, wedging himself between my legs so I could feel if he wanted me as badly as I wanted him?Did
