The Rogue

Chapter 4

Estelle Juniper’s pov:

This is the worst thing that could possibly happen. I’ve started my heat, and being in prison surrounded by male wolves, isn’t the greatest thing. I can tell they can all smell it, even the guards are trying to restrain themselves. This is my first heat since I found my mate, so I have a driving need to be near him and smell him again.

I can’t help but like Steele, I tried I really did, but he is my mate. I would say love, but that is a strong word, and I might have issues.

I felt so uncomfortable sitting in this prison cell, I am sweating so much, so hot. The luna of the Blood Moon Pack entered the halls surrounding my cell. “Let her go.” She pointed her head towards my cell, intently watching the guards unlock my cell. “Come on, hurry up.” The guards put cuffs on my hands and gave me to the luna.

“Sorry about that. I have to keep up a tough exterior around those guards.” She unshackled me once we got out of the prison. I rubbed my wrists while looking at her with confusion. “I had to get you out of there with you in heat. Even though you are a prisoner your also a female wolf in heat surrounded by male wolves.”

“I don’t want you in danger.”

She walked to the packhouse in this pack, she doesn’t seem that bad. I walked a little behind her admiring the scenery. I could feel my temperature going up. I could feel eyes on me while I walked with her. I jogged to be walking next to the luna. “I am going to have to talk to my mate before you can go in, so wait here. Guards! Make sure no one hurts her!” She yelled at one of the guards standing by the doors, and she signaled me to stand next to her.

When the luna came back she didn’t seem happy. “My dear mate. Will not let you in!” “So, we are going to have to sneak you in.”

“How are you going to do that?”

“I have my ways.” She went over and told the same guard in their ear. I don’t know what. A young and handsome man came out of the doors to the packhouse a little while after. “Can you distract Tex? I’ll reward you.” She said this while playfully poking his chest and making puppy dog eyes.

“Anything for you.” It looked like he was a dog in the hot sun. She walked past and I followed. She suspiciously looked right and left then walked up the stairs, and I once again followed.

“Who was that guy?” We continued walking up the stairs.

“I told you I have my ways.” She looked at. She looked back out the window she was viewing out of. “You know I haven’t told you my name yet, huh?”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“My name is Alpine, nice to meet you.” She shook my hand. “What’s your name?”

“Estelle.” I looked down and saw her stomach grow twice the size. “What is happening?”

“Oh! It looks like I am pregnant. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.” She also looked down. “Baby werewolves grow three times as fast as humans. Usually, lasts for three months.”

“Did you even know you were pregnant?”

“No actually. This is my first, so I am very excited.” She said this while looking down at her bump, rubbing it. She seemed extremely excited, but also ominously serious. She left, still looking cheerfully down at her stomach.

I looked outside, at the full moon. I would’ve had my mating ceremony two days ago, and right now I would’ve been marked, and standing next to my new mate. Two days ago I would have been happy. I just hope that he has a plan to get me out of here. So, we can be together again.
