Her Rogue

4. Malcolm

5:30 in the morning.

5:30!

I can't sleep at all.

Why do you ask? 

Because of the silver-eyed mate of mine!

I want to sleep, but my eyes don't want to close. My body doesn't want to relax.

And my wolf doesn't stop whining, since Rosy left me alone, she didn't stop asking me to go back or go see how he was. 

She was scratching the walls of my conscious mind, making it hard for me to focus or sleep. I tried taking pills or working out to tire me out.

It obviously didn't work.

You do know I can hear you and I have to say, you have a very foul mouth for a lady. Sybilla grumbles in my head.

"Oh? Really? I didn't notice that AT ALL! And we both know we are the least lady-like of the whole continent, so stop it with the false pretenses," I say sarcastically, my head was killing me.

So now I can't howl for my soulmate?

"No you can't, Sybilla. Think about your pack, we can't become weak in love wolf. We have a pack to protect, pups to educate. We have no time for mates and love." 

"Plus, he was extremely rude when we first met him. What kind of mate, nay, person, belittles their soulmate?" I bark back at her, snarling. 

I had no sympathy for that mate of mine.

Oh, please! Like if you gave him a warm welcome too! You freaking knocked him cold! Our mate! I can hear his wolf whine from here!

I growled at her and got up from the bed. I was only in booty shorts and a tank top, so I put on a jacket. 

I don't know what I want to do. Run in human form or let my wolf out. I went downstairs to the kitchen. I had really no idea what to do. 

My wolf was trying to take on my body and go see our mate, the rest of me, the smart part of my brain, was protecting her territory, too proud to give in.

Please let's go see mate! 

I sigh and grab a green apple, eat a big bite, trying to put all my frustrations in the poor fruit. 

All in all, trying to ignore my obnoxious wolf.

I will never be caught dead to see my mate.

Our mate is hurt because of you! His wolf loves us! He told me he has waited years for us! We have to give our mate a chance!! Sure, his human is a little bit... 

She wanders off, making it understand that she too didn't like how our human mate is.

"Rogue?" I finish her sentence, she whimpered back, making me huff. 

"Ugh! What is wrong with us, Sy?" I ask her, whimpering. 

I hated these feelings, I hated uncertainty.

That is why we are the most fearless pack. 

Everybody was ready for the worst-case scenario.

 From war strategy, anatomy classes for both wolf and human. We know the basic skills of veterinary and surgical emergencies and that by the age of 15. 

From men and women, pregnant women, pups. 

We were all ready. We still have enemies out there, I am not letting anything happen to my people.

"You know what, we are going to the cells, not for our mate, but we need to see how our prisoners are doing," I explain to Sybilla, who she smartly pretends that my conviction wouldn't waver if I was near him.
