UNDER THE ROGUE ALPHA'S PROTECTION CHAPTER 33
The single drop of black blood traced a path down the master’s otherwise perfect face. The shock in his vibrant green eyes was absolute, a tiny fracture in the edifice of his omnipotence. It lasted only a heartbeat, but it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.Then, the shock curdled into a rage so pure it seemed to suck the light from the obsidian hall.“You…” he hissed, the cultured voice twisting into something primordial and ugly. The air around us thickened, pressing down on me with the weight of centuries. “You insignificant speck.”He didn’t strike me with magic. He backhanded me across the face with a speed that was blinding.The impact was brutal. I flew backward, skidding across the polished floor, my vision exploding in white stars. Pain, sharp and real, bloomed across my cheekbone. The coppery taste of blood filled my mouth. It was the most human pain imaginable.I pushed myself up on my elbows, spitting a glob of blood onto the flawless floor. I looked up at him,

The word hung in the air, more devastating than any gunshot. *Who is this?*Lyra froze, her grip on my arm tightening. “Zero? It’s Cassie.”Zero’s brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of confusion in his eyes, but it was the confusion of a soldier trying to recall a minor tactical detail, not a man looking at his mate. His gaze swept over me—dirty, bleeding, utterly ordinary—and dismissed me.“The human from the gate?” he said, his tone indifferent. “Kael, get the asset to the extraction point. Lyra, cover them. This distraction has served its purpose.”*Distraction.* That’s all I was to him now. A tool that had been used. A variable that had been accounted for and discarded.The pain of the severed bond was a physical wound, a gaping hole in my chest where his presence had been. But this? This was salt and acid poured directly into it. He didn’t know me. The master hadn’t just broken the bond; it had *erased* me from him.“Zero, listen to me,” I pleaded, my voice shaking, tears I couldn

The Alpha’s words were a death sentence wrapped in silk. You belong to me. The guards’ grips on my arms were iron, hauling my limp, drained body toward the ruined gate. I was a prize. A specimen. A key to be turned in a lock I didn’t understand.Zero stood frozen, a statue of pure rage and impotence, the guards’ rifles an unbreakable barrier between us. The bond was a thin, frayed wire, screaming with his fury and my despair.The Alpha turned to leave, his victory complete.And then, a new sound.It started as a low hum, a vibration that buzzed through the soles of my boots. The guards dragging me faltered, their heads cocking. The hum grew into a deep, resonant thrum, like a massive engine powering up deep beneath the earth.The air itself began to shimmer. Not with heat, but with a sickly, familiar green light.The Alpha stopped, his smug confidence finally cracking. “What is this?”From the shadows of the shattered compound, from the cracks in the pavement, figures emerged. They di

Zero’s command was a lightning strike in my mind, cutting through the paralyzing horror. The monster—my father—was a tidal wave of rage and destruction, closing the distance between us in a heartbeat. Its hot, foul breath blasted my face, the sheer force of its charge shaking the ground.“PULL!”The word wasn’t a request. It was a primal trigger.I didn’t think. I didn’t plan. I reached out with everything I had—not with my hands, but with the bond, with the stolen power still crackling in my veins. I reached for the corruption, for the twisting, sickening energy that had remade my father into this thing.I didn’t find it.Instead, I found him.It was just a flicker. A tiny, buried ember in a vast conflagration of agony and madness. But it was there. A memory. The smell of coffee and motor oil. The sound of his whistling. The feeling of his hand, rough and calloused, holding mine as we crossed the street.Dad.The connection snapped into place, a searing, painful link that had nothing

The two guards at Dain’s gate froze, their hands hovering over their weapons, caught between protocol and sheer, stunned disbelief. A lone girl, walking right up to their fortress, her hands crackling with energy that smelled like a thunderstorm and felt like a threat.“I said, halt!” the larger one finally roared, raising his rifle.I didn’t halt.I kept walking, each step measured, the power inside me a rising tide. I focused on it, on the storm I’d stolen from Zero. I didn’t try to shape it. I just let it be. Let it leak out.The golden light around my hands flared brighter, licking up my arms. The air around me hummed, and the pavement beneath my feet cracked, a spiderweb of fractures spreading with each step. The guards’ eyes widened.“What the hell is that?” the smaller one whispered, his bravado cracking.“Open the gate,” I said, my voice still layered with that eerie, echoing force. It wasn’t a request.The larger guard fumbled for the comm unit on his shoulder. “Command! We h

The heavy door clicked shut, sealing us in with the consequences of my defiance. The only sounds were Kael’s ragged, pained breathing and the frantic hammering of my own heart.Lyra was at Kael’s side in an instant, her hands gentle as she examined the brutal break. “It’s clean, but it’s bad,” she muttered, her voice tight with a fury she didn’t dare voice aloud.Zero didn’t move. He stood perfectly still, his back to me, his shoulders tense. The blazing energy that had surrounded him since his resurrection had banked, replaced by a silent, stormy intensity. I could feel it through the bond—a roiling tempest of pride, fury, and cold, calculating strategy.“Why?” The word wasn’t an accusation. It was a demand for Intel. A tactical debrief.I hugged my arms around myself, the adrenaline fading to leave me cold and shaking. “Because if I used it for him, on his command, it stops being mine.” I looked at Kael’s pale, sweating face, guilt twisting in my gut. “I’m sorry, Kael. I’m so sorry.
