Semua Bab Onyx Flame (A Fated Mate's Romance): Bab 21 - Bab 30

I don’t know whether to be proud of Paige or terrified of her. Watching her throw that rogue's head at me like it was a basketball was sexier than I want to admit. But seeing her body covered in blood made by heart stop. She should’ve never been out in those woods to begin with. I want to put her in a bubble and keep her away from the world, but Paige would never allow it. How did a rogue even get past our patrols, anyway? I need to speak to Nolan and Alex. My thoughts are broken when Paige exits the bathroom, followed by a shadow of steam. The evidence of her deadly adventure has been washed away, and she’s back to looking like my sweet Paige. Her gaze meets mine. Her eyes are filled with anguish and apprehension.“What’s wrong?”“We should talk.”Those three little words make my limbs go limp. “Oh, o-okay.”I drag myself to sit up from the bed, scooting to the edge. Paige walks past the space nex

“Hi, I’m Paige. Can I help you?”The mom nods her head in defeat. She looks tired.The pup looks up at me, eyelashes hanging on to his tears, but he still curls his lips in a smile. “Luna! You’re beautiful. Mommy, look, it’s the Luna!”His hyper body wins the fight against his restrictive chair as he throws himself at me for a hug. I stumble when he lands in my arms, but I steady myself.“Jonah, you can’t just hug the Luna! I’m so sorry, Luna. Jonah is excitable.” “It’s okay. It’s nice to meet you, Jonah.” I look to the mom. “And you are?”“I’m Tally.”Tally reminds me of Val. Maybe it’s because she shares the same shade of blue eyes. Tally pulls her short white hair into a small bun, keeping the frizzy strands from her face.“So, what’s going on here?” I ask.Jonah says, “My mom wants me to eat, but I want to play. I’m not hungry.”“You’re never hungry. You need to eat to grow into a powerful wolf,” says Tally.“She’s right, Jonah.” My eyes meet his gaze. I can’t tell if he’s sad t

“We are not kidnapping the Luna, James. What the hell is wrong with you?”He came running in the bar like a puppy, blabbering about how Paige murdered one of his rogues and now he wants her.“We are kidnapping Paige. She’s not the Luna yet.”“Our plan depends on you killing Colin. If you kidnap his mate first, you’ll only make it worse. You kidnap an Alpha’s mate, and that Alpha turns into an invincible beast. He will not stop until she is safe in his arms. You don’t want to give him more reason to kill you.”I try to reason with him, but I can see it in his eyes. He is already lusting for Paige. After only spending a few minutes with her. A part of him likes her for her, but there’s a bigger part of him that hopes she’s as ruthless as he thinks he is. The fact that his infatuation with her didn’t start until she decapitated a rogue worries me. Is he that far gone? That the only way his icy heart can feel is when someone dies? James was always a bright kid. He exceeded in his warrior

I was nervous when Dom took over, but Paige loved it. I guess the wolf knows what she likes. I’m always worried about being too rough, but now I know she can handle it. Mate loves me. Uh, correction, mate loves us. It’s funny to me that Paige liked Dom’s dominance but fights me tooth and nail on everything. I asked her to stay in bed while I dealt with the rogues. Instead, my redheaded mate stands next to me, looking at the bloodbath that ensued. She looks a little sad that the fight ended so soon. “Twenty rogues dead. One alive,” Nolan states. “Only minor injuries on our side. Two of our warriors were bit, but they’re already healing.” “I’ve never seen rogues behave like a pack before,” I say. “Lots of packs think rogues aren’t capable of pack life, but that’s just not true,” Paige interjects. “Rogues are still wolves. They will still form a pack, but they won’t be as compassionate as regular wolves. They’ll also be a little more impulsive. However, if rogues are attacking the

I woke up to a burning in my chest. My body knows that Colin is furious. It’s interesting to me how deep I can feel his emotions, especially since we aren’t marked yet. I pull myself from the bed and go to find him. When I leave our room, I know something is wrong. The packhouse is silent despite being full of wolves, and the ones I can see are staring into the hallway that leads to Colin’s office. Before I can even step foot onto the stairs, Charles emerges from the hallway. He is steaming with anger. I offer him a slight smile as he leaves, but he just stares at me and slams the door. Colin stomps out of the hallway. His face is unreadable. He doesn’t look like himself. Worry pounds against my chest. Colin’s stoic face softens slightly when he sees me. He takes the stairs two at a time and wraps me in his arms. His face is buried in my hair, breathing in my scent to calm himself. I wrap my legs around his waist, and he carries us back to our bed. The burning in my chest has cooled
