His Rogue Mate You are right.
Karina“You're right.” I conceded, earning her stare.I sighed, stroking the side of my baby I would have never thought that one day I would be a mother, yet less than a year ago everything turned on its head and I learned how to love someone more than my parents.Change came out of nowhere, sometimes as sudden as a spark and others, as gradual as the seasons changing. You didn't knowI smiled slightly. Sam would be so proud if she could hear my thoughts. Turning to face the older woman again, I sensed a twinge of pride in her gaze. Or was it approval.I couldn't feel myself breathing as her green gaze glittered slightly, just like someone else's once did.“I like you already Karina. I think we're going to be good friends.” she spoke lightheartedly, making me blink.Out of anything she could have said, that was the last thing I expected. Beat rose to my cheeks and I looked away.“My son seems to not want to care for you.” With those simple words, something in me sank.I licked my lip
His Rogue Mate Jealousy.
KarinaThe room was bathed in awkward silence. I could barely breathe as I stared helplessly at the empty space where he was supposed to be.Why had he left so abruptly?There was already an answer in my mind, one that told ne that it was my fault. Yet I couldn't decipher why.Was it my presence alone? He had previously called me out of doing the opposite, so why would he be annoyed now?A spark of irritation cut across my confusion. A sigh brought me back to reality. I turned to find his mother staring back at me.“Don't be bothered dear. He must have had a hard time with the elders today.” she said, smiling comfortingly. She looked completely unfazed by her son's sudden attitude.Opposite me, his father nodded.None of their excuses were convincing, but I bit my lip and nodded.It was after the dinner, walking across the hallway that I knew I couldn't let it be.“Excuse me.” I called out to the younger girl as she almost slipped past me, passing an assurring smile to ease the insta
His Rogue Mate Food for thought.
Connor She infuriated me.I tightened my fists to resist the urge to slam something, or maybe even worse, reach out for her.She had easily inserted herself into my mother's life, and would no doubt do the same to my father and I hated it.It wasn't something that should have been blamed on her. They had only recently gotten over the shock of my reveal, only to see her after. I had done my utmost to remind them to understand her, despite the incredibly low chances that my parents were anything less than understanding. It should have been good and yet.Bitterness welled up in my gut like a poison. Seeing her adjusting so easily made me happy, but the dinner was a reminder of the sharp contrast we had.For the half a week I spent chasing her, she had spent pushing me away without telling me the truth. Yet in less than two days she was equally introducing my mother to Levi, the same child she hid from me if not by chance.Karina was right about one thing. I was jealous and angry , but
His Rogue Mate You are nothing to me.
KarinaWaking up early wasn't hard to do, especially with Levi as my alarm clock of sorts. While my baby was sated for the day, I was on a mission of my own.After last night I was more than eager to do more than staying within the four walls of my room. The reminder of his tone was what set me off.Call it anger or annoyance, but I wasn't going to let him get the last laugh.How dare he be angry at me for interacting with his parents? Such a thought was irrational to me. Most if all, he was the last person I would have thought would do that.‘You're nothing to me.’A knot formed at the base of my throat. I ignored it in lieu of dressing up in more appropriate clothes than pyjamas. None if that mattered now.I took one last look in the mirror, repeating Isabella and Sam's words of trust in my head like a mantra to prepare me for the day. Picking up Levi, we both headed downstairs.I wasn't fully present in time for the breakfast, but on arrival, I only met two figures there.“Connor s
His Rogue Mate Pleased to meet you.
KarinaIt was one thing to meet a stranger, and another thing altogether for this to eventually lead me back to Connor.I didn't even know what I was thinking by the time I met Ethan, but seeing his spindly form and quiet awkwardness pushed me somewhere inside. Was it the reminder of the kind of person I was? I didn't know.Either way, it wasn't too hard to trust him, but if I knew that following him around would lead me here, perhaps I would have second guessed it.My stomach tightened, but I couldn't keep my eyes off Connor for one moment? Questions raced in my head, the one most of all;Why did I have to see him now?I clenched my jaw, instantly going on the defence as the other man beside him moved forward.“I haven't seen you around. Hey Ethan, where have you been hiding this lady.” He asked as we slowly closed the distance.I had to forcefully tear my gaze away from Connor to face the redheaded man.“Nice to meet you,” he said, about to raise his hand,“Im-”He suddenly broke off
His Rogue Mate What is going on?
ConnorMy hands tightened into fists. What was wrong with me?The sight of her retreating back was like being doused within the lake during winter. I had no doubt in me that I had inevitably messed up.I wasn't supposed to react that way. Not even when the sight of her with Ethan made me…“Damn it.” I cursed silently, shutting my eyes.The reminder of my harsh words didn't help, but I wasn't going to apologize. Not now Shaking my head, I moved away, back to the incomplete building where Ethan and Ralph still stood, waiting for me.“Something doesn't feel right.” Ralph whistledI turned to find Ethan shuffling slightly on his feet, his stare slightly more shaky. He was the youngest out of us and I could tell he sensed my animosity and was every bit worried. Seeing him in this state held down my animosity.“What happened that you're not telling us Connor?” I turned to find Ralph's face slightly more serious. The shock had worn off and all I could see were questions.I'd kept it from th
His Rogue Mate I am nothing to you.
ConnorI swallowed thickly. The tone of her voice was too serious for me to avoid this. In other words, I was screwed.Without a word, she pointed to the seat opposite her. I quickly followed and sat down.“Are you going to talk about what happened last night?” she asked,I sucked in a breath immediately, catching her judgemental gaze. She wasn't going to let this go.“Mom, I was in a bad mood last night. I didn't need to take it on you or dad.” I didn't want to deal with this now.“Fine then, then explain to me what happened today.”My breath hitched from disbelief as she leaned in.“Imagine that after we told her to go out, she comes back hours later holding back anger and the first things she said to me was ‘Your son's an idiot.’”Somehow in my twisted imaginations, I could hear Karina saying just that.Except I wasn't happy for too long. Not under the weight of my mother's stare.“You don't understand.” I looked away for a moment.“She-”“I don't care what she did Connor, althoug
His Rogue Mate Lifesaver.
KarinaWas I upset? Yes.However, it didn't stop me from moving down to take dinner with them. It took a longer while for me to go while Levi still hadn't gone to sleep, but 30 minutes past the time, I was already there.The dining was silent with only Connor and his mother present. Silence filled the dinner table as we ate and Connor didn't say anything or even look my way.Funny, considering that he had plenty to say that afternoon.I left as soon as I was done.So far, the place didn't seem too bad.I found my way back into the Pack house early in the morning, this time with Levi in my arms. Her caring nature for Levi had me slightly swayed to her side, despite the overall caution I still had but I simply wanted to stay near my baby.Nobody was present. Even Connor hadn't left the place before I did. It was something that I did whenever I was feeling more adventurous during my time travelling; scoping out the place.It helped me get more familiar so I could adapt easier. Although i
