Austin walked through the quiet hallways of the pack house. It was late at night, and most people were sleeping. His mind was full of worry about David's challenge and the rogue attack that was coming. But there was something else bothering him more than anything else.He missed Rosemary.For days, he had been trying to stay away from her. He thought it would be easier for both of them if he kept his distance. But it wasn't easy. It was torture.Austin found himself walking toward Rosemary's room. He told himself he just wanted to check on her, to make sure she was safe. But deep down, he knew he needed to see her. He needed to hold her.When he got to her door, Austin stopped. His hand was raised to knock, but he hesitated. What would he say to her? How could he explain why he had been so cold lately?Before he could knock, the door opened.Rosemary stood there in her pajamas, looking surprised to see him. Her eyes were red from crying, but she was still the most beautiful thing Aust

Chapter: The Rogue's Offer Twenty minutes later, Austin stood in the pack's meeting hall, facing William across a long wooden table. The rogue leader was younger than Austin had expected, maybe in his early thirties, with dark hair and cold blue eyes. Alex and Maya stood behind Austin, while two other rogues stood behind William. The tension in the room was thick enough to cut with a knife. "Thank you for agreeing to meet with me," William said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "I know this is unusual." "What do you want, William?" Austin asked directly. William leaned back in his chair. "I want to make a deal with you, Alpha Austin. A deal that could save both our packs from unnecessary bloodshed." Austin raised an eyebrow. "What kind of deal?" "I know about your little problem with David," William said. "I know he's challenging you for the Alpha position. I also know that you're distracted by your mate's situation." Austin felt his anger rising. "How do you

Rosemary sat in her room, staring at the TV but not really watching it. She had been alone for three days now, ever since Austin told her to stay away from the pack house. The silence in her apartment was driving her crazy.She missed Austin so much it hurt. She missed his laugh, his smell, the way he held her when she was scared. But every time she thought about calling him, she remembered how he looked at Ariana. Like she was the most important person in the world."I can't just sit here feeling sorry for myself," Rosemary said out loud to her empty apartment.She looked at the clock. It was 8 PM on a Friday night. She was young and she was tired of being sad. Maybe she should go out and try to have some fun. Maybe a drink or two would help her stop thinking about Austin for a few hours.Rosemary put on her favorite black dress and some makeup. She looked at herself in the mirror and tried to smile. "You're going to be fine," she told herself. "You don't need Austin to be happy."Bu

But Rosemary didn't respond. Her skin was getting pale and cold, and Austin could barely feel her pulse. Austin quickly called Alex again. This time Alex answered on the first ring. "Austin? What's going on? I saw you called-" "Alex, I need help right now," Austin said desperately. "Rosemary's been attacked. She's unconscious and bleeding. We're on Forest Road, about two miles from the house." "What?" Alex said. "I'm coming right now. Don't move her." "Hurry," Austin said. "I think she's dying." Austin hung up and looked down at Rosemary. She was so pale and still. He could feel her life slipping away. "Please don't leave me," Austin whispered to her. "I'm sorry about everything. I'm sorry I made your life so difficult. But please don't leave me." Austin held Rosemary close to his chest and waited for Alex to arrive. He kept talking to her, hoping she could hear him. "I love you," Austin said. "I know I haven't been saying it enough lately, but I love you more than an

Alex rushed over to the bed with a big smile on his face. "How are you feeling?" "Better," Rosemary said. "Alex, did you find out anything about who attacked me?" Alex looked at Austin, then back at Rosemary. "We have some information, but we're still investigating." Austin could tell that Alex was keeping something from them. "Alex, what did you find out?" Alex looked uncomfortable. "Maybe we should talk about this later, when Rosemary is feeling stronger." "No," Rosemary said firmly. "I want to know what's happening. This is my life we're talking about." Alex sighed. "Okay. I talked to some pack members, and they saw David meeting with two strange men on the night you were attacked. He gave them money." Austin's anger flared up again. "I knew it was David." "But that's not all," Alex continued. "I also found out that David has been meeting with other Alpha wolves from different packs. He's been telling them that Austin is weak because he married a human." Rosemary f
