My leg bounced as I sat on the porch next to a sleepy Freya who had just gotten in. The steaming cup of coffee in her hands seemed to be more for warming her hands than drinking, as she had only taken one sip in the several minutes she had been out here with me. Usually, I would kick my feet up on the porch railing and relax back into the cushioned bench seat, but my entire body was tense. It felt like something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what. Was it my people, my woman, or that I couldn't get a signal anywhere in my house today on the cheap phone I hadn't wanted in the first place? Sloane was supposed to text me when she got home, and not receiving her message to confirm her safety had me on edge. It was reasonable to assume that she had either forgotten to text me or had been pulled into something when she got home, probably her family breakfast, but I still hated it. I wished I could walk her right back to her pack border and send her off with a kiss, but she had ref
Rogue Desires Thirty-Nine: Sloane
It was humiliating to sit with the packs in the dining hall with a guard standing right behind me. Everyone knew I had run away during the lockdown, and my father made sure to send his message loud and clear that I was currently on the outs with him by the cold shoulder he was giving me in addition to the guard.It was a crowded pack dinner, celebrating Ben's win during the second challenge. Yet, even in a room with everyone sitting, eating, and drinking, someone stood no less than two feet behind my chair, ready to grab me if I ran.The guard was unnecessary and frustrating. Even if I wanted to run away from the pack dinner, everyone would see me stand up and do so. There was no way to sneak off, and it irritated me that my father was trying to humiliate me this way.Even Aiden wouldn't look at me for a while, knowing interacting with me would cause him to go on my father's shit list too. Still, he did nudge my shoe with his at one point to let me know that even though I was currently

When dinner was over, I was relieved to find my room just as I had left it. The only difference was a new lock on my door, but I would still be moving a piece of furniture in front of it at night to keep intruders out.Mainly, Ethan.A knock on my door had me rushing to it, and as I pulled it open, I found my tall, lanky little brother standing there. I grabbed his arm and pulled him inside.Aiden grunted at the force of my pull, and I didn't bother exchanging pleasantries with the guard, who immediately moved to stand in front of my door again as I slammed it shut."What did Ellie say? What the hell was that about at dinner?" I rushed to ask him, but he was more focused on the mess in my room as I hadn't had time to finish cleaning it back up yet."Forget dinner. What the hell happened in here?" Aiden asked, looking horrified when he spotted my closet.I waved my hand dismissively before rushing out my reasoning, "I think Ethan trashed my room and stole my cell phone, but that's not i
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

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
