Chapter 28
Anja UlvenI'm moving across the country next week, starting on Wednesday, which may affect my updating schedule, but I'll do my best to keep up while we're on the road. I just don't know how much writing I can get done in the car, or in a tiny hotel room with 4 kids running around. Keep me in your prayers! LOL Much Love, Anja <3

Going Rogue Chapter 29
“MATE!” My wolf is howling in my head, but my body is frozen just staring at him. His dark grey fur and obsidian black eyes would probably seem intimidating to others, but they don’t scare me at all. He’s beautiful and strong. His body is tense like he’s ready to attack, but I’m not afraid of him because he’s…. My mate? But I already had a mate and he rejected me. Yes, I’d heard rumors about second chance mates, but I thought they were just fairy tales. That just doesn’t happen. Especially not for someone like me. I shake my head to clear my thoughts and I realize that everyone is watching us questioningly, but there is a definite tension in the air. “Are you alright, Gina?” Silas asks through the mind-link.“Yeah…” I whisper in awe, but I can’t bring myself to say anything else. I feel like I’m dreaming, but the strong gorgeous wolf in front of me is one hundred percent real, and he looks conflicted. “What’s going on?” Silas breaks into my mind again. When I don’t answe

GINA“Silas, don’t hurt him!” The words came out of my mouth on instinct. I hadn’t intended on saying anything. I didn’t plan on telling anyone that he was my mate since I was unsure if I even wanted to acknowledge it myself.My track record with relationships has not been good, and I’m not sure I’m willing to risk another heartbreak, but when they started closing in on him my wolf started losing it. It was as if my body and even my voice acted without my consent and betrayed me. This is only going to raise questions from Silas and I’m not sure how he will deal with my mate since he’d obviously already set his sights on me.I really didn’t want to deal with jealousy. It’s probably the nastiest emotion I’ve encountered, but it’s too late now. Silas mind-links everyone to stop advancing, but keep the warrior from taking off, then he opens a private mind-link with me. “Is there something you’d like to share, Gina?”Cringing because I knew there was no way out of this conversation n

GINAShocked doesn’t begin to describe how I felt with Jericho rejected his pack to follow me. I wanted to speak up and stop him. I wanted to tell him not to waste his time, that I’m not worth it and he’ll only be disappointed, but my tongue was heavy in my mouth.My wolf, however, was leaping with excitement at the idea that our mate already wanted to be with us this badly without knowing anything about us. I rolled my eyes and reminded myself that Atticus also seemed to want us until he learned what we’d done.This mate will be no different. He will reject me as soon as he learns about my past. If he wants to leave his pack for me, that’s fine. He’ll just get what he deserves when he rejects me and then he’s all alone as a rogue.What I’m unsure about is Silas’ plan. I’m certain that he won’t let Jericho join our pack, but what is the point in having him leave his pack to follow us? What is Silas hoping to gain from my connection to Jericho?As we run through the forest, Sil

JERICHO I haven’t seen my mate, Giovanna, in weeks. My wolf is growing more agitated each day and clawing to get out and go find her. If I thought it was just Silas keeping us apart, I wouldn’t hesitate to fight to see her, but I’m still unclear on where she stands when it comes to us. It’s clear that she’s holding back, but I could also see the pull of the mate bond working on her the last few times I saw her. I don’t know her reasons for fighting the bond, but I know that forcing her to accept it will not work in my favor to win her heart. I’m trying to be patient, but my wolf does not understand. At first, I was camping out in the woods with limited resources, but Silas would send someone out to check on my food and water supply and to come get me when he wanted to talk, but after the first couple of weeks, he provided a cell phone that he can use to call me. I know they have been keeping watch over me, even when I don’t see them. When the wind was in my favor I could smell

JERICHOI follow the wolf to the meeting location, and it’s one of my least favorite places to meet. An old, abandoned shed with a rusty door and several holes in the roof.Entering the space, I see Silas standing and waiting with a scowl on his face.“Why didn’t you answer your phone?” He sneered.“I didn’t feel like it.” I respond, acting as if I have nothing to lose. I can tell that Silas is caught off-guard by my cavalier attitude, but he does a good job of maintaining his poker face.“Need I remind you that you are a rogue depending on us for assistance, not to mention your mate, Gina?”Of course, I knew he would try to use my mate against me as always, but this time he doubled up and made it seem like I couldn’t survive without them providing me with food, water, and other necessities. There was no way I would let him think he had the upper hand anymore.“Need I remind YOU,” I snapped back, “that I have a job and a house now that I have paid for on my own, not to mention, I
Going Rogue Chapter 34
GINAKarli is fuming! I’ve never seen this girl get angry, but right now she looks like a cartoon character who’s about to have steam shooting out of her ears! It was endearing how angry she was for me and the fact that I had previously been rejected by my mate, but I reminded myself that she didn’t truly know me. She might be more understanding of my mate’s decision if she knew about my past, but I had no intention of giving her all those details.“Gina, I’m so sorry that you went through that,” she apologizes, “It totally makes sense that you would avoid any sort of relationship after that kind of hurt, but you must see that the moon goddess is trying to set things right by giving you a second chance mate.”I smile at her attempt to comfort and reassure me. I appreciate her concern for me but remain guarded. She might feel differently about me if she only knew the truth. I earned that rejection with my own stupid choices. I had already proven that I was not deserving of a mate

GINA“What the hell do you want now?” Jericho is standing there with the door open, but he’s not looking at me.He’s only wearing a pair of sweatpants, sitting low on his hips, putting his muscles on display in a way that makes my mouth water. His gaze is focused on the open book in his hand rather than on me, and I realize that it’s been quite some time since I last saw him. I can’t help but notice that his hair has grown longer. It hangs down past his eyes, blocking my view of them, but his hair has more wave in it than I remembered. Maybe my memory is a bit fuzzy, or maybe it’s the extra length that allows the body to show more. Either way, I take a moment to study the man in front of me.There is a bit of stubble on his face, as if he hasn’t bothered to shave in a few days, but I can still see the lines of his strong jaw that perfectly match his straight sharp nose. He’s a very handsome man, and I’d be an idiot to deny that fact.Jericho sighs loudly as he closes his book an

GINA As I ran through the forest, back to my room, the cool night air helped to clear my head. I can’t believe I almost kissed him! So much for keeping my distance and remaining neutral. Half of me was kicking myself for letting my guard down, while the other half was upset that I didn’t move in for the kiss sooner before I had to leave. I was a mess. The next day I prepared myself to go with Silas and see Jericho again. Jericho and I had already discussed how this would go and what we would say to one another, so I wasn’t worried about that part, but after the way I ran out on him last night, I was nervous about seeing him again. When Silas and I arrived at Jericho’s house, my heart felt like it would beat right out of my chest. It was probably a good thing because if I seemed too calm, Silas might be suspicious. Jericho played his part perfectly and the meeting with Silas went exactly as we had planned. I kept Jericho “on the hook” without fully giving in to the mate bond,
