Chapter 24

• Alpha Liam
• Her whimpered words pierce through my soul and I know if I don’t remove my wolf from her presence that he would waste no more time to ensure that she was wearing our mark. Chained to us for the rest of her life, just as the Moon Goddess had intended when she created the mate bond. The thought may delight me in the cruelest of ways but I don’t want her to hate me, I want her to long for me as much as I do her. I want her to beg for me. Fury boils through me to realize that my long awaited mate was desperate to leave me before she had even come to realize who I was to her. Rogue or not, I was not willing to let that happen. Although, I wasn’t quite sure if that’s what she even was. She was hiding something but it didn’t matter, she was mine now and I’d ensure nothing would stand in the way of that.
• My wolf scowls as we storm out of my bedroom, leaving her locked inside all by herself. I feel guilty leaving her and know that she must feel like a prisoner, probably assuming this was a punishment for speaking out of turn to an Alpha. The last thing she needed was more abuse, she was already battered and struggling to understand what I wanted with her; questioning why I hadn’t killed her already. I found it adorable in the oddest of ways. She must have known how I felt about rogues or anyone for that matter who trespassed on my land.
