Karina.I returned back to the pack when the sky glowed a deep orange, Levi in my arms and exhausted and tired from the work I'd gone through for the day. Against better judgment and Willa's complaints, I took both the morning and afternoon shift.It was better than the alternative of being seen.Now that I was back in the pack, there was very little to worry about. I could go home in peace without being disturbed.Finally, everything was alright. “Ki… Kiara?”I spun to meet Sam, struggling as she hefted a bag.“Need… a little… help.” She choked out. Without hesitation, I rushed toward her. Thankfully, I was strong enough. With Levi and my bag in one hand and her load in the other, we were able to reach her home.“Thanks. I wouldn't know what to do without you.” She sighed out in relief.“What have you been carrying?” I said, eyeing the large obscure load and leaning in to touch it.Before I could check it, she slapped my hand away, shaking her head frantically.“It's nothing.” She
His Rogue Mate Trapped.
The next day, I woke up to two new messages on my phone.The first was from an unknown number. I couldn't recognize it until I read it.‘Hi. It's the guy from the cafe. Will you be working today?'Looking at it for a few more seconds, I didn't know what to reply to him or why I had collected the number in the first place. Instead, I looked at the second one.The second was from a familiar number. Lola's number to be more specific.‘I heard that you took a shift for almost the entire day. Don't try coming over for the next two days.'Immediately, a growl left me as I rested back on my pillow, shutting my eyes tightly.I should have known this would happen or, at least, predicted it.Even before finding the Rogue pack, she was plenty weary about letting me work for long hours, especially considering my pregnancy situation. As such, I was only limited to working slight shifts with the same pay.The same was true now. As a nursing mother, she didn't let me work more than one or two shifts
His Rogue Mate Why don't you want to be with me?
Katherine. The tension was thick in the air as the silence lingered. Only the faint sound of breathing filled the air.The urge to scratch at my wrist was overwhelming, but it was hard to consider moving for a moment.More seconds passed, and I felt a tingling sensation at the back of my head.I finally broke out of my frozen state and looked away, yet I could still feel his gaze penetrating mine. ‘Ignore him,' I told myself. Clenching my jaw, I turned away, settling all the discarded jewelry in its place. One by one, I focused on my task as if it was the most important thing on earth.Anything to not face him.“Are you going to ignore me the whole time?”I stiffened at the sound of his voice for a moment, shutting my eyes tightly. I quickly regained my composure before moving again. Every second that passed felt more like torture. I could barely focus on my task anymore, placing jewelry in odd places. Kayla, like the perfectionist she was, would no doubt be livid once she found
His Rogue Mate Will you go out with me?
Kiara.By the time we were done, I was ready to race out of the place. I did so, eventually, but not before receiving one of Kayla's pack-famous lectures.This time unlike others, she didn't seem as passionate and into it as usual. Perhaps because she noticed that I was so out of it, or perhaps because I was so out of it that I didn't take the full brunt of what she said.Either way, by the time she was done, I ran out like the devil was hot on my heels. Entering my house was the greatest reprieve, only that Mary was there.“Kiara?” She spoke in a hushed tone, her eyes filled with evident worry.Swallowing my pants and attempting to regain my lost composure, I shook my head.“I think I've had enough of Kayla now,” I sputtered out without any hesitation. Inside, I grasped myself.‘Please let her believe me.’ I inwardly prayed, sucking in the guilt that came from lying.Thankfully she did, her face twisting into a sympathetic expression.“That bad, huh?” She asked, moving toward me.A t
His Rogue Mate Kiara's response.
Kiara.Flashback.“So what do you say?” He asked. Despite his false bravado, I still spotted his fear as he looked at me with a pleading gaze.I had never seen him look this nervous. But it was a given, considering what he said.Pondering over it, there was only one answer.I parted my lips and spoke.“Yes.”….Present.“Are you really bothering over your dress?” He whined.“Yes. Now, hush and focus on the road,” I said.I raised an eyebrow at him, daring him to say anything else. As expected, Felix simply looked away and let me work my magic.Looking at my mirrored reflection, I wiped off the slight excess lipstick at the corner of my lips. There. Picture perfect ready.“Women.” His mutter made me turn to him again, spotting him stiffen as I did.“I just don't understand. You look good already.” The words rushed out of him, no doubt his feeble attempt to save himself.I faked a despondent sigh, turning toward my side of the door and reaching for the handle.“I guess you don't need m
His Rogue Mate An escape route.
Kariana.Isabella and Leo emerged from the side of the podium, reaching the two other people. Immediately, the place was bathed in an even louder applause, yet I couldn't hear it over my racing heart as I eyed the corner where they came from.‘Was he by chance also going to emerge?' The thought kept me still.Wasn't it more or less bad luck if I met him twice in a row? Even though I now had this new plan, I still needed time to think.“Kiara?” I swiftly turned to meet Felix's gaze. He looked sheepish as he took a step away.“Hate to break it to you, but even I have a level of grip strength I can handle. This tux has even less." He chuckled, raising the arm I'd just released to show the rumples in his tuxedo.I did that, I realised. I hadn't even noticed myself gripping his arm so badly.“Sorry,” I muttered, eyes darting toward the podium to see that there were still only four people there. No green eyed brunette man in sight.Inwardly, I let out a sigh of relief, turning back to Felix
His Rogue Mate The cafe stranger.
Karina.My presence went unnoticed amongst the crowd that walked past me.Collecting two more glasses of fruity wine, I found my place in the corner of the festivities, sitting on a chair and table whilst looking listlessly at my phone.I was adept at small talk, at asking for information from people. But outright flirting? Hell no.Flitting through my screen, I furrowed my brows.There was no way I could do this properly. I just had to hold on so I didn't get stranded.As I waited for Cafe Stranger's next text, I swiped up to play a game. It was the only alternative to doing absolutely nothing.I couldn't let myself wander. All other worries aside, I didn't want to stray too far from where Felix would meet me.Anytime he actually came, that was.More time passed, and even playing a game felt like too much work. The phone almost slipped out of my hands from how loosely I held it.I wanted to go home, and the pleading croon from Germaine inside me spoke of the same sentiment.I had no
His Rogue Mate Cornering each other.
Karina.Returning back to the pack was akin to a rush of fresh air, literally. I embraced the familiar scents around me the moment we entered the pack area, relaxing at the buildings surrounding us.Felix stopped in front of Gino's home, where I had taken Levi to stay in the meantime. Stepping out, I groaned at the slight ache of my heels.“Of freaking course this will happen.” I cursed out, shutting my eyes.I was used to wearing them when it suited me. However, after months of being in maternity and wearing mostly flipflops and sandals, I decided to wear these to fit the occasion, and here I was suffering the consequences.Pain, it seemed, was a universal price to pay for looking good.It was going to lessen soon enough — the wonders of werewolf healing — but not until a few minutes after I took off the shoes.The sound of the car door closing followed by footsteps nearing me made me look up.“You really got yourself in a tizzy, didn't you?” He asked, placing one of my arms to wrap
