Chapter 5: Rendezvous

Jessica POV

It's been three weeks since I stepped into Declan's Manor, and each day has woven us closer together, like threads in a tapestry.

His patience with me is a gentle reminder that real connections take time, especially since I haven't taken that final leap with him.

At 27, I find myself caught in a web of hesitation, especially after so long without the warmth of a man's embrace.

Declan is a breath of fresh air; he makes me feel cherished, as if I'm the most precious gem in his world. Yet, I know I must ground myself in reality.

I met a servant that has been assigned to me named Sonia she is apart of the pack and Declan is Alpha and I am his mate.

Whenever I have questions or concerns about life in the Manor, she is very helpful and Talking to her feels like chatting with a good friend

This morning, before he departed for duty, Declan's words wrapped around me like a soft embrace as he invited me to dinner—just the two of us in the intimacy of the dining room.

I am currently in our room which is Declan's room we are sharing a room now. Ever since that night the rogues attacked, I've found solace here, cocooned in his warmth. It's been the sweetest sleep I've ever known, as if the world outside has faded away, leaving only us.

*The morning after the rogue attack*

Declan was already up and staring at me sleeping I felt his eyes on me watching in awe

"Good morning to you Mister" I said and turned around face away from him

He pulled me into his chest and rumbled a deep sexy Good Morning I felt the vibration in my whole body

I felt something hard poking at my bottom I felt I instantly arched into it involuntarily I let out a breath of air,

I heard Declan let out strangled gasp his hand moved to my hip and gripped  it pulling me harder into him

"Declan" I whimpered I turn and face him his eyes are red and he fighting with his wolf I could tell.

"Jessica" he groaned out releasing a long sigh and before I knew it, the big man had pulled me on top of him he slipped his hand behind my head and pulled me down to kiss him full on the lips

It was intoxicating every time I kissed him I felt like I couldn't hear anything the world was peaceful silent

I was straddling him his other hand was gripping my butt holding me firm against his nakedness but I still had on pajamas

My hands were on his chest I pulled away from the kiss and looked down at his face, he was really handsome I enjoyed looking at his facial features

He was studying my face as well but he had also been doing that since before I woke up

"What are rogues, and are you okay from last night?" I asked, meeting his gaze. A part of me wanted to cower, but the intimacy of our position gave me the courage to voice my concern.

"Rogues are those who have turned away from the pack," Declan explained, his voice low and steady. "They act outside our laws and can be dangerous. As for me, I'm fine. Just a bit rattled. But knowing you're safe makes all the difference."
