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
Mate's Gamble Chapter 29: Reunited
*Tilly POV*Run.Run faster. The only thing I can allow to go through my mind as I rush through the barrage of trees and forest foliage is to run. There is no time to slow down and look back, no time to let my mind wander worrying about my best friend and my mate. My mate. Onyx.My pace slows, and I look over my shoulder, regretting it immediately. I’m alone out here. Completely and utterly alone, and I did it to myself. I rest my hand on the rough bark of a tree, allowing myself a chance to breathe as my emotions win and everything I am trying to run from floods back in. Anna has to be okay. There is no way in hell that girl would ever fall. Not with her skill and determination. She is the ultimate apex predator. Onyx, though I’ve only ever seen him train, has to be a top fighter if he has won the right to train all the warriors for years in a row. My stomach lurches, bile rising as I imagine him injured on the ground. My stupid brain’s active imagination is trying to make me tu
Mate's Gamble Chapter 30: Walking Reminder
“How did you find me so fast?” I ask Anna and she snorts. “Please, you think you can ever escape me?” She jokes and I sigh. “I’m serious, Anna.”She glances at me, her eyes full of curiosity and worry. “I left the second you left the pack grounds. I was with Onyx when he felt the bond on your side disappear.”“And you just knew which way I was running?” I ask her.“You have a scent, Til. I tracked you.” a frown crinkles her brows. “Is there anything you want to tell me?”I don’t miss her accusatory tone and I scoff, like I don’t know what she is talking about. She rolls her eyes and groans, clearly annoyed. “Onyx is your mate!” she announces, and I feel a soft pang in my chest, an ache in my heart.“Was. Anna, I rejected him.” I say, standing from the ground and realizing how naked I am. I grumble in frustration. Cursing the asshole who forced me to shift and ditch my bag. “Here.” Anna says, choosing to drop the subject, but I know it’s only for now. She tosses me a bag and I catc
Mate's Gamble Chapter 31: Excursions
*Onyx POV*“You understand you are in charge, right? Everything you decide to do has my full backing and I will bear the consequences of all actions?” I reiterate to Tic for probably the third time. My mind swirls with indecision and anxiety. My hands sweat and my stomach feels queasy, but there is no doubt in my mind that I have to do this. “Alpha, I have it under control. I won’t let you down,” Tic says, trying to hide his eye roll.It’s not that I don’t trust him, because I trust him with my life. I’ve never left my pack in this manner before, hell I leave my pack all the time this time of year for training. But now that we are dispatching everyone back to their original pack, it’s time for us to go back to our own lands and this will be the first time Tic travels back alone. This will be the longest time away from my pack, my duties. And as easy as I want to say this decision is, it’s far from it. Tilly is my mate. My fated Luna, the only person who can truly complete me. Even i
Mate's Gamble Chapter 32: Not your Luna
In the past twenty-two hours and seventeen minutes have been long, tiring, and fucking stressful. Every minute I am away from her is another minute a terrible scenario lives in my head. The possibility that she might be gone, taken somewhere I can’t follow, makes my chest ache with a rage so violent I could destroy any pack that stands between us. With my pack in trustworthy hands, I only have one thing to think about. Tilly.And how to convince her to come back with me. Everyone knows she tried to reject me. She didn’t really lower her voice when she uttered the words and mouthy warriors spread news faster than a gossiping, meddling mother. What they don’t know, thank heavens, is her reason, though I’m sure some could guess it if they tried. I have a long journey ahead if I think getting Tilly back will be as simple as saving her.She is the kind of woman who would thank me for helping, then send me on my way. Tilly is stubborn and determined, which is why I have to show to her how
Mate's Gamble Chapter 33: Some truth
*Tilly POV*Onyx’s eyes burn with promise as he stares at me, practically begging me to feel the mate bond that has been suppressed on my end. There is no denying he is still the most attractive man I have ever laid eyes on. I still feel weak in the knees when I’m around him. His heavy gaze makes it hard to think but that electric buzz. The one that grips you so tight, pinching your gut until you announce to the world that you are mates. That is gone. I refuse to acknowledge the flutter in my stomach or the heat in my cheeks at his declaration of making me his. Goddess, how those words would have made me melt into his hands just days ago. None of it matters anymore. He destroyed what we could have been and I’m a rogue now, even if he changed his mind about Harriet. He made his choice, and I made mine based on it. We both must live with the consequences of his actions. “You’re delusional if you think I was ever yours. I was meant to be yours, but you threw me away. And suddenly you w
