Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE ROGUE HE DENIED : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

NOELANI POV Day in, day out, I scavenged for food. It’s strange being raised as the Alpha’s child with fresh meat, food, and fruits daily, only to now fight over scraps. Hunting used to be a game. Now it’s survival. I’ve fought with rogues who claim they’re stronger than I. Maybe they are. They’re wild untamed in ways I’m still learning to be. How long has it been? A year? Two? I’ve lost track of time out here in the wild. No contact, no pack, not even Lana. My wolf has been silent since the incident. I haven’t shifted once. The wild was cold in ways the body can't explain. Nights bite, and days blur. I sleep with one eye open, if I sleep at all. I've forgotten what it feels like to laugh. I used to laugh so much, especially with Lana, my wolf. She was the fire in me, fierce, proud. Now she's gone quiet, buried deep beneath pain. Some days, I wonder if she’s still there at the back of my head. I had gotten better at moving in silence. At hiding my scent, watching the shadows. Be

NOELANI POV“How dare you go against my command?” He said, his voice laced with spite. “You are a rogue and should be done with the moment you crossed my pac–”“Then kill me already” I said flatly, my eyes locked on him. I hate the feeling of being indebted to anyone.He was taken aback by my reply but it didn't last. He went right back to his cruel self “I wish I could”, he muttered, and within seconds he lifted me and dropped me on the bed “Keep quiet and stay still” He snapped and stormed out of the room with long strides, locking the door shut behind him.I sat there stunned, replaying his words in my head. He wished he could kill me. He wished to. Was he serious? Honestly, he has every reason to, but what was I thinking? Why did I say that?I groaned as I fell flat on the bed. I wondered how long I would stay here and why he needed my wolf’s presence in order for him to converse with me.****Weeks passed and I was gradually healing, my ankles no longer hurt like it used to and t

NOELANI POVIvana was the last person I saw before I went unconscious. I stirred on the bed when I felt a presence beside me. My eyes fluttered open and Hannah was seated on a chair beside my bed crying. As I sat upright on the bed, she looked up at me.“You're alive,” she bawled. "When I saw you struggling to breathe, I thought you were going to die. Alpha said you've not recovered."Hannah was worried about me and not what I had done to her the day before. Engulfed with shame, I looked away from her.“I'm sorry about yesterday,” I whispered.“It's alright,” she sniffled. “I'm doing fine, it's you who's still sick.”“I'm not sick.”“But the Alph–”“Please Hannah, I want to be alone,” I cut her off. She stared at me in disbelief. “I'm not going to run off…I can't even,” I whispered, turning my back to her.As I heard her leave, I curled up on the bed and cried. The scenery from yesterday replayed in my head as the agonizing pain in my heart built up, causing me to gasp for air just li

RAGNAR POVI had gone out to inspect the guards scheduled for evening patrol, when a scent hit me so strong it stopped me in my tracks. It was a mixture of sweet vanilla and cocoa. My wolf howled in excitement, urging me to follow the scent. I shifted into my wolf form, running through the woods, the scent pulled me deeper. And then I saw her, a rogue who ran into the borders of my pack. My wolf, Ajax, stirred and howled louder in my head, demanding I let him through, but I subdued him with a snarl. There was no way the Moon Goddess had possibly matched me with a rogue. I let out a rumbling growl that echoed through the woods as I closed in on her.She looked disheveled, and lost. I planned to do away with her when I finally got her pinned down beneath me, but Ajax pleaded. Her green eyes stared back at me, causing my heart to skip a beat. Despite her fragile appearance, she was a fierce one, even in her human form, as she fought to flee my grip by throwing grit into my eyes. I howled

NEOLANI POV“How did you know?” I asked, watching him as he leaned back on the sofa.“I saw you attack him,” Kendrick said, with a grin slowly forming. “And he didn't kill you.” He shrugged, as if the answer was obvious. “That only means you're his mate.”“I'm not.” The words came out clipped and defensive. “I attacked him for a reason,” I stated, folding my arms across my chest. “I'm fed up with him.”“You don’t need to lie, it's obvious.”He was quiet for some time. ”I know who you are. I know who your father is,” He rose from the sofa slowly. “You're from the Crescent Pack.”I didn't utter a word, he did the same, staring blankly at me waiting for a reply.A lump formed in my throat as memories I had buried resurfaced about my family and the last time I ever saw them.“Crescent Pack is no more,” I whispered. I tilted my head back fighting the stings in my eyes, blinking them rapidly. “My family was killed, I got lucky and survived as a rogue until I met Ragnar.”Despite how simple
