Rose

Alpha Cassian is infamous. Infamous for surviving even after his mate died. Infamous for ruthlessly hunting and killing his enemies. Infamous for his hatred towards the rogues. The predator. That's what we call him. We lived in fear because of him. He made my life hell even though I never met him once. No rogue has ever escaped after meeting him. My father taught me to stay away from his pack and I did. I never went closer to him. But fate had other plans. I met the infamous predator. I had no choice but to join his pack and on my eighteenth birthday, I learned something that flipped my life upside down. The truth that terrified me. The truth that kept Alpha Cassian alive even after his mate died. It was me. I was the ruthless alpha's second chance mate. Yes, I was a prey mated to the predator.

Through the window, I entered her room. She was sound asleep on her tiny bed. I drew closer, bending down to her level, and gave her a gentle peck on the cheek before growling, "Mine." I growled in my throat, thinking that someone had injured my mate, driving me insane. I tucked her hair behind her ear and noticed a large bruise on the left side of the face. I gave her bruise a gentle pat and a kiss. and after that, I breathed in her lovely vanilla and rose scent, which helped me to relax. She shifted slightly but fell back asleep. "I’m sorry my beautiful mate. Please pardon me; I wasn't there to keep you safe. I'll track down the person who did this to you, and I'd be happy to torture him to death for it. I apologize, sweetie." I gave her cheek another kiss before leaving her room, and gave her one more look. -------- Elena Dominic, whose father abuses her, has a troubled past. who never leaves her own bubble, who doesn’t communicate much, and doubts the existence of love.
