Her Rogue

Mate

Rogue!

I looked up and saw him. He was nearly three times my size. There was dried blood on his face and front paws. I stood up and felt the urge to run but at that very moment, this heat and electricity surged through by body, radiating from my very core.

"MATE!" Kate whisper-yelled.

It can't be, can it? Can a rogue be a mate to a wolf?

The rogue lowered his head and let out a dominating growl. Baring his yellowish fangs. I tucked my tail but I couldn't move. Nor would Kate let me. She whimpered in my head.

"Please Lacey, he is ours. His wolf is whimpering to me." Kate whined.

"Well, isn't this intriguing." The rogue said to me in a wolf link.

"What?!" I was in shock. Kate's whining was getting louder.

"I'm a rogue. We don't have mates." He said mockingly.

That slightly stung but I still couldn't move. I watched him slowly closing in. As he got closer to me, I lower my head and ears in a submissive manner. What the heck?!

He walked up to me with his tail held high. My wolf was taking over. I tried to lift my muzzle to his neck to smell him. He bared his teeth and snapped at me. I dropped my body to the ground. He didn't smell like a rogue. He smelled like cedar, sage and fresh water.

"MATE." He growled.

************

I saw her laying there, looking at her reflection in the water. She looked up and saw me. She smelled like pear and honey. A heat surged through me like electricity.

"MATE!"

I lowered my head and growled in dominance, baring my fangs. She tucked her tail but didn't move.

"Well, isn't this intriguing." I said in a wolf link.

"What?!" She replied.

"I'm a rogue. We don't have mates." I relied mockingly. I saw this stung her a bit.

I walked to her with my tail raised. She sat down. Lowering her head and ears. She was submitting to me. She tried to raise her muzzle to sniff me but I growled and snapped at her. Her body dropped to the ground. I'm a rogue. I live alone. I live and breathe for killing. Yet here, at the lake, at this very moment, my wolf awakened in me. I found my mate. I snapped at her!

I backed up from her submissive posture. Rogues don't have mates!

She whimpered. I can hear her wolf whining to my wolf. I can't. I won't. I turned and bolted into an overgrowth.

**********

Kate was whining to his wolf but he backed up from us and bolted.

I submitted. Kate howled. His wolf howled. I turned to race home. My mate is a rogue?! This isn't happening! But he's not just any rogue. He is of Alpha lineage. I could smell it. I saw his aura. My mind was racing. What am I going to do? What would my family think? He is her rogue.
