Her Dangerous Rogue Mates

The tray was heavier than I expected-or maybe I was just feeling light-headed. I took it and made my way upstairs, but deep down, I had a gnawing feeling that I was making a mistake. But it was too late to turn back. I was already on the second floor, standing before the door with…

“But everyone knows Kaye hates it when his personal space is invaded. She shouldn’t have gone in there,” she spoke up against me, clearly trying hard to please the brothers. “Then it’s your fault. You should have told her. She only brought breakfast to her stepbrother’s room, trying to be helpful,” Lord McQuoid snapped at…

“Dad, please! Before you say anything, ask yourself–would you rather have peace in your home or keep that girl we didn’t even know existed until she showed up at our door?” I pressed, using this as an example of how much trouble she’d already caused. “Dad, come on. Even her own mother doesn’t want her.…

I kept staring at his face, imagining my life without a home. My heartbeat had slowed considerably. It felt as though I had only a few seconds to respond. I could either fall at his feet, beg for forgiveness, and ask to stay or just not care and let my fate decide my future. But…

“I was trying to-” It was then that I realized I was probably trespassing in his study. A large desk sat in the center, covered in papers that had been scattered by the wind.

That’s when a thought struck me. The rogues had the most prestigious academy-the Red Jacket holders. The Blue Jackets, on the other hand, always tried…

“She’s a young woman, still growing. She needs proper nourishment. Serve her well,” Lord McQuoid didn’t appreciate Emma’s attitude. I wondered if he noticed her stopping me from taking anything other than the bread. As Emma grudgingly filled my plate, I started eating. Ugh! I couldn’t believe how embarrassing I was. The moment I had…

I knew her life wasn’t necessarily easy–I wasn’t one to judge–but it was nothing like mine. Tomorrow morning, I’d be asked to leave, while she would cuddle up and sleep in her warm, cozy bed. Yet she compared her life to mine. “Really? He didn’t give you any forms?” Her face lit up, which caught…

“No! I already told you, you’re not allowed,” he stubbornly responded, still rocking in his chair, looking annoyingly handsome. If only he kept his mouth shut, he’d be the most attractive man I’d ever laid eyes on-just like his brothers, though somehow they all seemed worse than each other. “But the notice says-,” I began,…

“I filled out the form,” I said after clearing my throat to get his attention. He acted like he wasn’t the one who let me in after I knocked on the door. “Tape it to my forehead,” he pointed at his forehead without raising his head, his eyes focused on the files in front of…
