Rogue Desires Forty-One: Greyson
The candles were lit, and music filled the cave softly from the cheap phone I was still holding a grudge against. It played music but wouldn't let any of my messages come through. What kind of a bullshit scam was that?I took a deep breath, needing to calm myself before Sloane arrived.I had spent a good twenty minutes pacing, then twenty more sitting on the ground with my arms on my knees before I saw the water ripple, signaling that she had just jumped into the pond.It was only a matter of a second now before I would be able to see for myself that she was safe, and I was counting each one.I saw the black waterproof bag come up first, but the hands gripping it weren't Sloane's. The fingers were longer, the palms wider, and the nails were unpainted.Before the intruder could surface, I had jumped to my feet and moved back into the shadows, turning off the flashlight and cursing myself for trying to give the cave a romantic feel with the candles and music. I had barely turned off the
Rogue Desires Forty-Two: Sloane
I hurried out of bed, my hands up with my palms facing my siblings as they glared at me. If there was ever a time to be nervous, this was it. Ethan was the least of my worries right now."Listen," I started, but Aiden stepped forward, grabbing his hair and pacing back and forth. Never before had I seen him so stressed, but I was also really curious about what happened. Every few paces, my little brother would stop to glare at me. "It's not as bad as it sounds.""How could it not be as bad as it sounds, Sloane? How?! You could be starting a war right now! Hell, if anyone found out, the war would be the least of your issues because you would be exiled!" Aiden whispered aggressively."I'm confused, when did this start?" Ellie asked from my bed as she pushed the pillow between her and the headboard to lean back on it."It's only been a week!""You're risking everything over a man you've only known for a week?" Aiden exclaimed with exasperation."Technically, I first met him about ten years
Rogue Desires Forty-Three: Sloane
My lips pursed together as I tried to avoid looking at Ben.While Ethan had chosen a picnic on the edge of town for everyone to see, Ben had chosen a private date in the garden.The flowers surrounding us looked beautiful, and the air was still slightly chilled as he had chosen a brunch instead of a dinner. I was glad he had because I got to avoid breakfast with Ethan and my father, and I didn't have to worry about it being too romantic.It was nice and comfortable… or it would be if Ben hadn't been staring at me the entire time like he was physically biting his tongue. His cheeks were pink, and his eyes were wider than usual.He couldn't possibly know about me and Greyson, but he knew something."Are you okay?" I asked, trying to be discreet as I leaned back in my chair to put some space between us. He wasn't making me nervous, but he was fidgeting quite a bit, and I was expecting him to knock something over at any second."Who me? I'm grand! Great…I meant great! No one says grand any
Rogue Desires Forty-Four: Sloane
"Sloane, dear," My mother called out to me, and I moved to her side. "Can you please go and fetch me my reading glasses?"I widened my eyes at her.Wolves didn't need glasses, and everyone in the room knew it, but no one said anything. My father turned to her with a skeptical look, but she refused to acknowledge him as she raised her eyebrows, expecting a response from me.Had her glasses even existed, it was something that one of the servants could have easily done, but knowing that my siblings had somehow convinced my mother to help me get out of the room and keep Ethan distracted motivated me to get this done and do it quickly."Of course, mother. I'll be right back." I said, sliding past my father's chair and making my way out of the room."Ethan, why don't you start? Tell us something about yourself." Ellie ordered as the door closed behind me.As soon as it did, I took off, ignoring the maids, guards, and servants as I sped past them. I was on a mission and refused to be distract
Rogue Desires Forty-Five: Greyson
Sloane: I was thinking of taking a day trip to see you…I paused mid-bite, staring at my phone as my heart beat faster than before.The diner was packed and filled with loud talking and laughter. I usually avoided eating here when it was so busy, but something had been pulling me in. Everyone seemed so happy still. They were enjoying their meals and the company around them, and I was starting to feel the same.A few heads turned my way as I set my fork down on my plate loudly to text Sloane back.Greyson: Oh, when would that be?I couldn't help the smile that stretched over my face as three dots appeared on my screen to signal that she was typing."How is everything?" Jessi asked, looking exhausted, but I knew she was excited by how busy the diner was today. More customers meant more tips. "Can I get you anything else?""Everything is great, Jessi. Delicious as always." I looked down at my phone as it vibrated and smiled wider.Sloane: Today. In about an hour?"Actually, can I get half

Benjamin Reid, Nightshade: 25 Points Tatum Blair, Shadow Paw: 20 points Declan McCoy, Iron Hide: 17 Points Ethan Dunn, Night Walker: 17 Points *** "You don't seem happy." My mother said as she sat beside me on the castle's steps. I had left the party early but hadn't hidden away as I knew it would only anger my father further and put me in danger with Ethan. Man-bun had been watching me all night, and as soon as I started to pull away from the crowd, he moved in. It made me change my mind about trying to sneak out or hide in my room. It wasn't safe to leave the public eye. I wanted to ensure there were witnesses in case he did anything, so I stayed where I could be seen without being down in the chaos. "I am, just not here." I disagreed, staring out at the crowd surrounding the bonfire. Ben was celebrating harder than I expected, but every once in a while, he would let his smile fall and looked devastated. I didn't want to be forced into mating one of them, but I would be rega
Rogue Desires Forty-Seven: Greyson
It was dangerous for me to be here. I knew that, and yet, I couldn't stop myself. I needed to see my Firefly to make sure she was safe. Apparently, my message to Ethan hadn't been clear enough since he had the nerve to break into my woman's room and steal from her. I would have to deal with him sooner rather than later, but I couldn't do it here. Not with all four packs together, cheering for blood to be shed. If I walked out there now, it would be mine that sprayed the crowd as they went wild. The stands had been spread out more than before. The ring from the center had been removed, leaving an open stretch of grass. Yet, Sloane's throne was still front and center lifted on a small platform to be able to see the entire makeshift arena. Sloane looked stunning in her light blue dress. I made a note to buy her as many summer dresses as she wanted because she looked magnificent in them. Her eyes were downcast, and the blank look on her face made me furious. These stupid fucking game
Rogue Desires Forty-Eight: Sloane
Tatum Blair was a bad-ass.It was plain and simple. She had taken down the men like it was something she could do in her sleep. By the rumors I heard about her and her sister, how they were raised to be soldiers, I figured she just might.The training and skills she had in her fur made her unstoppable. She took down Ben in a matter of minutes and then fought Declan tooth and nail for almost thirty minutes before he finally went down.I don't think Declan wanted to win, not when it would get him closer to having to mate into the family of the woman he claims broke his heart, yet he gave his best and fought like a man facing his demons.Tatum was just too fast for him.I had never seen a snake striking its prey, but the speed and precision at which she attacked was what I pictured. Small, but strong and deadly.Her win was the first one that I actually felt like celebrating. It wasn't because I was interested in her winning my hand. I just wanted to have fun with a friend, and that was e
