The Alpha’s Little Rogue

Chapter 1 3 2 Raphael’s POV With a pant, I fall onto the couch and close my eyes. It has been so long since I had a training as intense as that, and I have to admit that my muscles are screaming at me. But overall, it was a good first session. If I was feeling the training this hard then I don’t even want to think about how the others are faring. I did warn them though. A bottled water gets shoved into my face and 1 trace the water up to the face of the person holding it. Henry shakes it, getting impatient. “Here. I’m sure you need it after that session. Grateful, I take it out of his outstretched hand and murmur a thank you. Twisting the cap off it, I tip the bottle into my mouth and take a big gulp, sighing when the cold water hits the back of my throat. I finish it and drop the empty bottle on the table in front of me. As I lift my head back up, I feel a glare directed my way. It was coming from a guy that was present at the training ground. He gives me the stink eye as he passes and I have to hold in a chuckle. Ok, so maybe I should have taken it easy on them. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if half of them didn’t show up tomorrow. Henry sighs beside me. “Ignore them. They’ll get used to you soon enough, he reassures and lets out a pained groan as his back hits the sofa. “Though, I think you should tune it down a notch before you kill someone.” I laugh and he joins in soon enough. They aren’t bad folks and I don’t mind using my day to train them. I have to admit that it’s so much better than being bored out of my mind in the pack house.

Sitting up straight, I lift from the couch. I should probably start heading back to my pack, I inform Henry and be stands up as well “Of course. Thanks for coming here again, he repeats for the umpteenth time today. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I place a hand on his shoulder. “My Luna is your Alpha Ok, that title sounds weird out loud but I continue anyway, “I’m, happy to help out her pack in any way that I can.” I give him a firm squeeze and drop my hand from his shoulder. “Glad you feel that way. I hate to say it, but we need all the help we can get. No kidding there. They really sucked and I’m not even exaggerating. I really have my work cut out for me. It’s a good time I have a lot of time on my hands with nothing else to do. Henry walks me to the door and we stay outside for a while, talking about the tactics to use to train them. That’s when I first get a whiff of the most mouthwatering scent ever. My head moves around as I try to decipher where that delicious smell is coming from. Henry is talking away but I don’t catch a drift of what he’s saying because my attention is on a beautiful lady that’s fifteen feet away from us and under a huge tree/ She’s surrounded by a dozen kids, who are all trying to get her attention on them. Surprisingly, she’s paying ample attention to each and every one of them and the little monsters are loving it. Henry finally catches up on the fact that I’m not listening to a word that he’s saying, “Is everything alright?” He asks, following my gaze that’s still on the beautiful lady who’s now hand out cupcakes to the children. Sat, 4 May Chapter 182 “Mate!” Ethan growls, trying to take control and head over to the lady that we kneow nothing about. I force him down and turn to Henry. “Who is she?” I ask tensely. “Why wasn’t she at the training ground?” I add so my interrogation doesn’t come off as weird. She looks to be in her mid-twenties and seems perfectly healthy. So why didn’t she come to the training? “That’s Daphne,” he tells me, looking at my mate with a fond expression on his face. He’s old enough to be her father but my head becomes filled with several ways to wipe that look off his face.

Permanently. Daphne. It’s a beautiful name. It’s as beautiful as her. I wonder what her wolf’s name is? Ethan questions Pipe down, I warn. Ethan has this attitude of attacking with full force. He doesn’t know how to take things inch by inch. It’s a trait that could very well scare our mate away. Akid whispers something into Daphne’s ear and she tilts her head back and lets out a beautiful laugh. She’s so f u c k i n g beautiful. I haven’t even had the chance to talk to her yet but I’m already bewitched. But why hasn’t she already noticed my presence yet? The distance between us is just a few feet away and she should have smelt my scent by now. Can’t she feel the mate bond that’s trying to pull us closer? My question gets answered a second later as Henry keeps talking. “She doesn’t have a wolf and-” Every other thing that Henry says flows over me without actually registering in my head. My mate is wolfless. That’s why she hasn’t noticed me yet and that’s why she wasn’t at the training ground. My whole world is tilting on its axis because of her and she’ll probably never feel an ounce of what I’m feeling right now. Her head lifts and I hold my breath as our gaze clash. I search her eyes, silently begging to see even a mere hint of attractio in them but she just stares at me blankly. My heart shatters as she shakes her head and turns her attention back to the children trying to climb onto her. She felt nothing. My wolf is hollering and growling for me to let him out so he can go be with his mate. He doesn’t seem to understand that she doesn’t even realize that we’re her mate. “Is everything ok?” Henry asks, staring at me with concern. I guess that has to do with the fact that I’ve been mute for the past five minutes while he has been talking. I snap out of it and give him a tight smile. “I need to leave,” I say, turning around and running towards

the woods before he can get a word out. I shift into my wolf once I’m surrounded by tall dark trees and Ethan lets out a growl that rips through my heart. We finally found our mate after waiting for so long, but it was nothing like I envisioned it to be.
