The silence that followed was thick and heavy, the kind of silence that felt like it could swallow you whole if you let it. Gwen sat beside me, her hand still on mine, offering what comfort she could in the absence of words. I wanted to feel better. I wanted to let go of the gnawing feeling that clung to me like an unwanted shadow. But as I sat there, I couldn't stop thinking about Zero. His face, that eerie calmness, his words that seemed to follow me even in the quiet moments.

I shifted uncomfortably, pulling my hand away from Gwen’s. "I should probably get some sleep," I muttered, though I knew I wouldn't. My mind wouldn't let me rest.

Gwen didn’t argue, though I could tell she wanted to. She simply nodded, a small sigh escaping her lips as she stood up. "Let me know if you need anything, okay?" she said softly. Her concern was evident, but she respected my need for space, just like always.

I nodded in return, my throat tightening with an emotion I couldn’t quite name. As she heade

  • UNDER THE ROGUE ALPHA'S PROTECTION   CHAPTER 17

    The weight of Zero’s arm draped over my waist felt like a brand—hot, possessive, inescapable. I lay still, my breath shallow, my body thrumming with a foreign awareness. The bond. It pulsed beneath my skin, a living thing, tying me to him in ways I didn’t fully understand yet.I hated it.And yet, when his fingers traced idle circles over my hip, my traitorous body arched into his touch.No.I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to roll away, breaking contact. The moment I did, a low growl rumbled from Zero’s chest. His grip tightened, yanking me back against him.“Running already?” His voice was sleep-rough, laced with dark amusement.“I need air,” I lied.His chuckle was a vibration against my spine. “Liar.”Before I could protest, he flipped me onto my back, caging me beneath him. Golden eyes burned into mine, his body a furnace of muscle and restrained power. The scent of him—smoke and something wild—wrapped around me, intoxicating. My pulse spiked.Dangerous.“You’re thinking too har

    A dull throbbing pain spread through my neck as I slowly regained consciousness. My body felt heavy, as if the weight of the world had settled over me. The scent of something warm and slightly metallic lingered in the air, making my stomach churn. I groaned softly, shifting slightly, only to feel a strong arm tighten around my waist.Panic flared in my chest. My eyes flew open, and I found myself staring into the golden gaze of Zero. He was leaning against the headboard, his arm lazily draped over me, his expression unreadable."Easy there," he murmured, his voice rough with sleep. "You're still adjusting."Adjusting. The word sent a shiver down my spine as memories flooded back—pressing the doorbell, stepping into his domain, his mark burning into my skin, the overwhelming heat consuming me. My fingers instinctively brushed against my neck, feeling the raised edges of the fresh bite.His mark.I tried to sit up, but Zero's grip didn't loosen. Instead, he exhaled slowly, as if he was

    The door loomed before me like a portal to another life—a life I wasn’t sure I wanted but one I might need. My heart raced as I raised my hand, hovering just above the doorbell. The sound of my breath was deafening in the silence of the night.Do it, Cassie. You came all this way.But just as I was about to press it, doubt surged through me like a lightning strike. My hand wavered, and I pulled it back. Turning away, I took a hesitant step back toward the street.This was insane. I couldn’t give myself to Zero—not like this. I had just escaped the chains of my ex-husband, the suffocating dominance that stripped me of my identity. To step into the grasp of another man, especially one like Zero, felt like trading one prison for another.But as I turned away, a sharp pang of regret stopped me in my tracks. My stomach churned with frustration. I hated this indecision, hated that my freedom was once again tangled with someone else’s control. Yet, deep down, I knew the truth: I needed Zero.

    The shock of Zero’s statement left me paralyzed, my mind reeling as I stared up at him. "Are you serious?" I finally managed to ask, my voice barely above a whisper.Zero’s sharp blue eyes glinted in the dim light of the alley as he stood to his full height. Without saying a word, he pointed directly at me, a slow and deliberate motion that sent a shiver down my spine. His meaning was clear even before he spoke again, his voice low and unwavering. "I want you, Cassie. Your body. Your loyalty and everything about you that could satisfy me. I want to claim you mine."The weight of his words crashed down on me like a tidal wave. My breath hitched, and I stumbled back a step, my back brushing against the cold, rough wall of the alley. The realization hit me with brutal clarity: I had only just been freed from the shackles of being mated to my ex-husband, and now I was faced with the possibility of being bound again—this time to a rogue whose reputation was as dark as the blood staining hi

    The air in the alley was thick, the scent of my pheromones mingling with the metallic tang of blood. I could barely breathe as I watched the rogues close in on Zero, their eyes dark with rage and desperation. They had underestimated him, mistaking his calm entrance for weakness. They didn’t see what I saw now—a predator in his prime, coiled and ready to strike.Zero stood his ground, his sharp gaze flicking between the three attackers. He cracked his knuckles, a subtle but chilling sound that echoed in the confined space. “Three against one? I guest i’m that strong for you to come to me all at once.” he said, his voice low and steady, laced with a confidence that sent shivers down my spine. “But mind you, You’ll regret this,”The first rogue lunged, claws bared and teeth gnashing. Zero sidestepped effortlessly, grabbing the rogue by the wrist and twisting it with a sickening snap. The rogue howled in pain, but Zero didn’t stop. He yanked the rogue forward, slamming his knee into the

    I couldn’t stand it any longer. The days of waiting for news about my father had stretched on like an endless abyss, and the silence only grew heavier with every passing hour. I was trapped in a cage of uncertainty, my mind spinning with endless questions and fears. What happened to him? Where was he? Why hadn’t he contacted me, like he always promised he would?The letter he left behind only deepened the mystery. It spoke of allies—people who could help me, who knew more than I did about whatever danger he was facing—but it gave me nothing concrete. No names, no addresses, just vague instructions to seek out these allies if I wanted answers. How was I supposed to find them with nothing but a cryptic message and a burning sense of panic?I couldn’t stay here anymore. Waiting, hoping that someone would come to tell me that he was okay—it wasn’t working. My father had always been the one to protect me, to guide me, but now it was my turn. I had to find him. I had to do whatever it took
