I laugh but come to his aid when I see him glaring at Renz, “I don’t mind if he can’t sing. I absolutely love his southern draw when he speaks. That’s music to my ears.”
I hear Austin growl in my ears, “Is that right, darling?” And it sends a shiver down my spine. I whisper back, ” That’s right, babe.” As I wink at him.
At that moment, Lacy says, “Renz, our Alpha is wrapped around our Luna’s little finger, don’t you think?” Renz starts laughing, “My dear mate, I have to agree, I don’t think I’ve ever seen our Alpha in such a whipped state.”
We continue with dinner, when howls are heard. Austin and Renz jump up, followed by Lacy and me. “What is it?” I ask.
Austin looks at me, “Rogues at the eastern border. Get to safety Rebel.” He starts to take off.
“Oh, hell no. I’m coming with you.” I say, not leaving any room for him to argue.
Austin POV
I don’t like that Rebel went against me, but she is fearless when it comes to fighting. She doesn’t back down or out of a fight. Renz is certainly eager to see her in action and I have to admit, so am I, but not under these circumstances. I open my mind link and tell everyone to head to the eastern border.
‘I’ll keep an eye on Luna, Alpha.” Renz says to me.
‘Don’t let her out of your sight Renz. I have to be in the front, you know that.’ I said. I’m worried about her safety. I don’t want to lose her now that I’ve found her.
However, as soon as I get to the front of the pack, I find Rebel already there. ‘Renz, Rebel is in front of the pack. Tell Jessup to take your position and get here now.’ I don’t have time to argue with Rebel. We have 30 rogues coming straight towards us an two of them leap for Rebel.
She snarls and shifts in the air taking the first rogue by his throat and snapping his neck before they hit the ground. The second rogue goes to jump on her back but she twists under him a rips through his underbelly and guts him like a fish. They both lay there dead. I’m fighting a rogue and watching at the same time and I’m shocked and full of pride. My mate is a fucking killer.
She sees three rogues attacking one of my warriors and she kicks one off while taking a chunk out of another’s back leg.
‘Alpha, our Luna is fucking brutal. A total beast! She’s a completely different wolf out here!’ Renz mind links me.
‘We need to talk about this later, but yes, she’s a badass.’ I link him.
After an hour of fighting, the rogues are dead, except for one, which my mate has pinned to the ground with her jaws in his throat ready to rip through him. She mind links me, ‘Austin, this wasn’t a normal attack. This wa full-blown war they were looking for and we should probably find out for what reason. I didn’t want to off t guy in case you want to question him.’
For as gorgeous and shy as my mate is, she is equally as smart and I know she is right. I pull a shift, even thoug Cronos didn’t want to because he was so close to Roxie, but now is not the time for mating. “Renz, Jessup, take couple of soldier and throw this guy in a cell. We will deal with him tomorrow.” I said.
As they haul the rogue away, I look to my mate. Her fur is covered in blood but I don’t care. “You both are incredible fighters.” As I run my hand through her fur. “I will make sure you and Cronos have your time together too beautiful. Can you shift for me so I can talk to Rebel?” Roxie licks my face and then steps back and pulls a shift. When Rebel appears in front of me, she is completely covered in blood,
“Do you always get attacked by this many rogues Austin?” She asks, looking around like she is trying to make sure there are no more threats. She thinks like a beta and fights like an Alpha. I’m still reeling at how amazing she was during the fight.
“No Rebel. I agree this isn’t a normal attack. It seemed coordinated and I will question the rogue tomorrow. But you,” I say pulling her towards me, “you were incredible. You are brave and fearless. I mean it when I say I’m a lucky bastard to be blessed with a mate like you.” I tell her.
She smiles and says, “You’re only saying that because I’m naked under all this gore.” I laugh, because she isn’t

wrong either. However, I do have some clothes stashed a few feet away. I brought her a shirt and I took the shorts.
“Austin, Roxie has a really great gift. She knows when people are lying. I would like to be there when you question the rogue. Something about tonight is making me uneasy.” She tells me.
“Roxie is a breathing and living lie detector machine?” I raise my eyebrow. That would be a pretty incredible gift and not a common one either.
At that moment, Roxie pushes forward, “Mate, my gift isn’t just knowing that a lie is being told, but specifically what the lie is and if only half truths are being told. I also know how to get that truth out of a person lying to us without having to hurt the person. It’s like an Alpha command, but without being an Alpha.”
“I’ve not heard of a wolf that can act as a truth serum of sorts before. You are very special Roxie. I would love to know all your secrets. I hope you and Rebel will tell them to me one day beautiful.” I say to her appraisingly.
“I’m sure you will find out everything mate. But it will take time. My human is starting to open up to you. There is still a lot she hasn’t shared. She would rather forget it and move on, but in due time, everything will come out. She doesn’t lie though, not ever.” She tells me. I find it interesting. It’s like Roxie is telling me this as a warning, but it’s an easy one for me, because I will always be truthful to her.
“Thank you for sharing all of this with me Roxie. I’m going to take Rebel back to the pack house now and get her cleaned up. Will you give her control again?” I ask her softly.
Once Rebel is back, we walk back to the pack house. Renz is waiting for us. “Damn Luna, you are a total beast out there. I officially do not need to test you tomorrow, but I would love to train with you!”
I see my mate blush, “Sure thing Renz, but right now, I just want a shower and maybe some food. Roxie burned through her energy.” That’s when I notice her eyes were tired. That’s interesting. She mentioned this before when we were in the woods. She said Roxie spends her energy faster than normal wolves. I will need to talk to Rebel about this more later. Right now, my mate needs to get cleaned up and eat something.
I grab her hand, walk inside and mind link the omegas to bring some food up to our room for Rebel. As we are walking towards the stairs, I hear a screechy voice, and I groan. Immediately, Rebel knew who was coming and even though she is tired, she stands in front of me again.
“Aust – “Ceraline stops as Rebel stands in front of me. “I want to check on Austin. Move.” She narrows her e at my mate. After what I just saw out there, Ceraline could be a dead she wolf and I know I promise to look aft her, but I am not getting in the way of that ass beating.
Rebel looks very bored with her and yawns. “Ceraline, first, MY mate is fine and if he wasn’t, I would be looking after him. Not you. Second, Austin is your Alpha. You are not his mate to be on a first name basis with him. Address him with respect. Third, you have nothing to do here. Leave.” She looks at me and grabs my hand. We turn to start walking, when Ceraline opens her mouth again, “I heard you went shopping for clothes today. You can dress a pig up in dresses, but it will still be a pig.” She says with a sneer.
At that point, Rebel stops and turns around, and quicker than lightening, she grabs Ceraline by the throat and shoves her against the wall. Ceraline’s face is quickly turning different shades of purple and blue, while Rebel stares her down. “Now, you listen to me bitch. I am not someone you want to piss off. I’m trained to kill and I will not hesitate to snap your spine and make sure you will never walk one step into this pack house again. Austin is MY MATE. Got it? MINE. You can gawk and long for him from a distance. But if you come for what’s mine, I will end you. My wolf knows where to hide the bodies and trust me, NO ONE will miss you. Understood?”
I am hard as fuck. Not only did she claim me, she went full Luna on this stupid ass she-wolf. I need to bury myself in her and mark her. She sure as hell knows how to make a man feel important without even trying
Rebel has such a tight hold, that all Ceraline can do is nod. When she lets go of her neck, Ceraline falls to the floor, trying to suck in as much air as possible. Rebel bends down and grabs Ceraline’s hair and pulls her head back, so she is looking at her, “You can call me all the names you want, but while you are out here looking desperate and needy, I will be with MY MATE, in OUR room and before the night is over, I intend to be his completely and have his mark on my neck. So the fantasy you have in your head bitch, let it die there.” As she threw her back towards the ground.
I’m growling at her, ready to fucking shove her against the wall and bury myself so fucking deep in her heat that I will be in a yearlong sabbatical before anyone finds me. She looks at me and very seductively puts her arms around my neck, “I think we need to start our sessions, professor Alpha.” She says.
Without another word, I scoop her up, crash my lips on her and take her to our room. I close the door with my foot and carry her to the bathroom. I sit her on the counter and strip her shirt off her. “That was the fucking sexiest thing I have ever witness in my entire life sweetheart. You are a fucking goddess. You can claim me like that anytime you want sweetheart.” I tell her and crash my lips to hers again.
I strip my shorts and my cock springs free and stands at attention. I need to get the blood and gore off my mate. Then I’m going to make sure I live up to her expectations and mark her before the night is done. I turn on the shower and scoop her up again, crashing my lips on her once more while we are under the shower. I deepen the kiss and hear her let out a moan. She reaches for my hair and pulls me closer. Damn it, this woman has me addicted to her already. She’s fierce and shy, brutal and soft, talented and humble, kind and scary, and I can’t get enough of her. I want every side of her.
