Mate's Gamble Chapter 21: Unpredictable
*Onyx POV*“You should probably get some rest.” Tic says, dropping a sandwich on my desk along with another cup of coffee. “I can’t,” I say, glaring at the reports in front of me. “I have to figure this out.”“It’s been three days of you doing basic hygiene and looking through all of this for something. What you need is a set of fresh eyes.” He replies with a deep frown. “How is Tilly doing?” I ask, ignoring him.“She is fine,” He says and I look up, giving him a glare. “Tilly is training like everyone else.”“Good. Is she improving?” I ask, hopeful.He winces and clears his throat. “Have you made any progress finding a pattern in the rogues attacks?”I glower at him, and he avoids my gaze. “Tic, don’t change the subject. Is she improving?”He sighs and shakes his head. “No. It’s wolf week, and hers is smaller, more lean than the others. When the others are able to catch her, they toss her around like a rag.”“When the others are able to catch her? So she is fast, then?” I ask, feel
Mate's Gamble Chapter 22: Today's Lesson
I walk into the training pitch with my stomach in my throat. I’ve avoided being here completely to not make it seem like I am favoring Tilly. Not much good it has done other than cause us both stress and make me more desperate to be around her. Tic annoyingly pointed out how avoiding everyone is neglectful of my duties. So here I am showing up and finding that for the first time, I’d much rather shirk my responsibilities and hide away with Tilly.“Alpha.” Bill says, surprised. “I thought you were going to be busy until the Warriors Ball?”“Testing has moved up.” I say grimly, hating how everything is turning out. After hesitantly leaving Tilly, I made some calls and informed the packs I trust of what Tilly helped me realize. It took some convincing, but once they listened, they panicked and demanded their warriors back.“Shit.” Bill says with wide eyes. “I’m not sure everyone will pass, Alpha.”“They will.” I say flatly. “Every one of them.”Bill gives me a strange look, tilting his h
Mate's Gamble Chapter 23: Getting better
*Tilly POV*Anna shows up with Onyx right behind her and a big, proud grin on her mischievous face. I told her we were fine with only four people, but did she listen? No, because she is a strong-minded alpha’s daughter and the grin on her face just makes me wonder what else she talked to him about. It doesn’t take that long of an exchange to ask someone for help, and my curiosity is getting the better of me. “She looks mighty pleased for someone who just asked for help.” Harriet says, stepping up to my side.“It’s Anna,” Henry says. He has been the warrior training with Anna for the past few days to better his technique. “She is probably thinking about killing someone.” He shudders at the thought and Harriet and I break out laughing.Anna does not hold back in training, and her cheery nature while decimating her opponents has purchased her many fun little nicknames. My current favorite is Anna the Annihilator. She, however, hates it, which makes it that much better. “I hear you only
Mate's Gamble Chapter 24: Warrior Ball
The last couple of days of training have gone by in a blur. I’m sure how we made it to this point, but here we are. Warriors ball day. The day all the warrior females preen and giggle, making themselves presentable for their mates. All the while, the males do—well, I’m sure they do something. Like sleep in and eat a hearty breakfast. Not me though. Nope. Not on Anna’s watch.This chick has had me up since five this morning sipping on herbal tea that’s supposed to help with my bloat, which is great because I did not know I was even bloated. She even slapped some gooey gold things under my eyes for my bags that tell everyone how tired I am. Again, I’m not sure I ever noticed they were there. “You know what’s fantastic for the bags under my eyes?” I ask Anna as I sniff then put aside the nasty ass tea with a grimace. “If you say ‘sleep’ I will come out there and throttle you.” She hollers from within her tiny closet. “It’s true, though.” I mutter.“I let you sleep in, Tilly.” “Lies!
Mate's Gamble Chapter 25: Mate
My nerves are an utter mess as I check the clock over and over again, watching the minutes tick by painstakingly slowly. I just have to see him. That will calm me down, even if it’s just a glimpse. It’s a feeble thought. I know seeing him will only lead to me wanting to kiss him, which I won’t be able to do in public. There are rumors about me and Onyx, with his blatant favoritism there were bound to be. But the thing with rumors is, what makes them exciting is the mystery of whether they are real or not. Touching him the way I want to would turn rumor into fact, fairy tale into reality. As much as I want to live this fairytale, I’m not sure I’m ready for what it all entails.My hand taps my thigh while I crane my neck, looking from side to side. Anna and I have long since abandoned our station after the last person signed in. Now free to mingle, eat, and be giddy with everyone else. Anna was too happy and getting a little violent with her random excited slaps or screeching, so I sen
Mate's Gamble Chapter 26: Wrong Answer
Onyx stands, unmoving as he watches me with hopeful eyes, gauging me, waiting for me to utter the word in confirmation. I revel in his scent and his heady gaze, never wanting to be removed from either again. “Mate,” I utter the words. The gravity of their meaning leaves me weightless as I push reality aside and relish this dream. Here I can achieve anything, here we can conquer the world together. The moment reality seeps into this happy bubble is one moment closer I am to losing him forever.“I knew it,” he whispers the words victoriously to himself, sauntering closer to me with each calculated step. One, two, three and he is right in front of me. His hands reach out, framing my face with a glorious, radiant smile. He completes me and I him. I can feel it in the electric sparks that dance along my skin, see it in his eyes that promise a future I know we don’t get to have. “Onyx…” I murmur, my resolve cracking under the weight of his loving gaze. This is real. The sparks are here an
Mate's Gamble Chapter 27: Goodbye
My fear slowly melts away as Bill reaches out to help me up. I slap his hand away with a sneer and he frowns. He has never once been kind to me, even when the Alpha was looking. I highly doubt it’s going to change now that I’m a rogue. He sighs heavily and frowns. “Look, if I had known…” He pauses and runs his hands through his hair. “I didn’t realize–”“What the hell are you doing out here?” I scoff, standing and dusting myself off. “Come to gloat as I cross the line and fully become rogue?”He shakes his head in shock. “What? No! I picked up my mate’s scent and followed it.”I snort and dry chuckle. “Poor girl probably realized it was you and ran.” I mutter.“Yeah, kind of my worry too,” he responds. I stand in front of him awkwardly, waiting for him to excuse himself or for me to grow a pair and cross the border. Instead, we both avoid eye contact and stand in silence. After a moment of swinging my arms, waiting for something, anything, I huff out a sigh.“Well, I’ll be going the
Mate's Gamble Chapter 28: They want her
*Onyx POV* My back aches as I stand from the ground, hating that this fucker got the better of me. Well, fuckers, since there are five rogues fighting me at once. That’s the thing with rogues. They can’t measure up one on one, so they team up against one person, hoping to overpower them. I glance around, watching my warriors fight as valiantly as they can. The cry of wolves losing their mates before their eyes echoes through the pack grounds and it drenches the remaining fighters in fear. Of all the nights to attack, they chose to night. They had a reason for tonight. They wanted to create this chaos to invoke fear. All it’s doing is effectively pissing me off. The five assholes in front of me lunge forward at once, and I drop to the ground at the last minute. I use my elongated claws, slashing across their middles, cutting through flesh like a hot knife through better. I turn to see two of them fall to their knees, trying to scrape up their intestines as they whine in pain. The
