The Rogues Mate

chapter 12

wow it's been a while. I'm so sorry for not updating, god school started and i kept reminding myself, but I kept forgetting. Here's chapter 12.

Unknown

When I saw the rogues at his border, I got worried. When I heard that they were looking for Riley, I panicked. If the rogue king was looking for her, he would stop at nothing until she was dead. That's why I called alpha Dylan immediately, offering help in the war that was sure to happen. When he asked me why I had to tell him the truth because when Riley saw me she would recognize me immediately.

After informing him I would be arriving tomorrow, I started to think about Riley. What would happen when she saw me? How would she react? I left her life when she was very young, before max was born. I visited Riley and her family as much as I could, but after the rogue attack, I was forced into hiding. If the rogue king knew I was alive, he would kill everyone in his path to get to me. And that includes Riley and max.

Riley

As soon as he saw my flustered face, his smirk grew. Taking slow steps towards me, he stopped when I was against the closed door.

"Where did you go little mate" I knew it wasn't a question. Dylan was so close, I could feel his breath on my face.

"Nowhere" I was nervous, and he could tell "I um- was looking for the bathroom". What? He's not stupid, and neither am I. There's a bathroom in his room, right next to where we're standing. He gripped my chin lightly and forced it to the right, of course, my eyes were now trained on the bathroom door.

"I think you and I both know you weren't looking for the bathroom Riley. Now, where did you wander off to" his tone was still soft, but demanding. Why did I leave the room? He's going to find out I was snooping near his office. I'm positive I wasn't supposed to hear what Dylan and lewis were talking about.

Who did he speak to on the phone? And who was coming tomorrow? I think that if I asked Dylan would tell me, but did I really want to know? I had this sinking feeling in my stomach. I knew that the rogue king was coming for me. He killed my whole pack, and I was the only one that survived, besides max. There was no way I was going to make it out of this alive. Dylan would try to protect me, which would only lead to him and his pack getting hurt. I couldn't allow that, not after everything they've done for us.

"Riley..." my eyes snapped to his, and I realized how close we were, his nose was touching mine, and the hand that had been holding my chin was now on my waist. This couldn't happen, I couldn't let anyone get hurt because of me. So why didn't I stop him when he started inching forward.

I want this.

My eyes closed slowly as he brought his lips to mine. They were warm and soft, and the sparks that traveled through my lips into my spine and throughout my whole body made me press myself closer to him. Our lips fit perfectly, like two pieces of a puzzle. I hadn't even realized we moved until I felt the edge of the bed on the back of my legs.

My arms were around his neck and his around my waist. I never wanted it to end, but we had to come up for air. When his lips left mine, I felt a sense of emptiness, like a part of me was missing. My forehead was resting on his and we were both breathing heavily.

"You don't know how long I've been waiting to do that" he whispered, and pecked my lips again. Just the thought of us kissing made me blush. That was by far the best kiss I had ever had, not that I've had many.

Just as I was about to speak, a loud yawn came out from my mouth. I hadn't realized how tired I was. What time was it? When I woke up it was already dark out, that couldn't have been more than an hour ago.

"Are you tired?" I looked up at him again, his blue eyes boring into mine. I could only nod. His gaze left me speechless. He pulled away fully and took my hand, dragging me onto the bed and pulling the covers over to my chin.

He started to walk to the door and before I could control my mouth I spoke.

"Will you stay?" I probably sound so desperate, but I couldn't help it. After that kiss, I didn't want him to just... leave. I wanted him to stay here and ie with mem and fall asleep with me, so that when I woke up I would be next to him. I wanted to wake up next to him every morning. But I probably wouldn't be able to for much longer, so I wanted to savor it while it lasted.

He smiled and walked back over to the bed. Once he was sitting he took off his shirt, and pants, leaving him in only a pair of boxers, and me in his shirt from earlier. Holy mother of god, he was beautiful. He slid under the sheets and pulled me to into his arms, and I lay my head on his chest. His heartbeat was steady, and was already putting me to sleep.

He kissed my forehead lightly and rested his head on mine.

"Goodnight Riley." I heard, but I was too far gone into my abyss of dreams to answer.
