My Rogue

Chapter 10: Addictive

*Light smut warning*

Mika's POV

Before I even knew what was happening, two weeks had passed at the new pack house. The Rose Moon pack was fairly large with about 600 members living on the pack lands. Their territory was massive from what I could tell, as I had wondered about a couple times with Adriel or one of his siblings watching me like a hawk and I never seemed to make it to the borders.

I had no way of knowing where how far from my old pack we were. I mean, I had been on the run for six months and seeing as I had never heard mention of a Rose Moon Pack at my old place, I can only assume we were far enough away not to take note of each other.

Of course, I could always ask Adriel if he knew of my old pack, but I wasn't quite willing to bring that up. Since my first nightmare here, I had been plagued with them, nearly every night waking up shaking and sweaty in Adriel's arms. Of course, he was already suspicious enough, there was no way I was giving him any sort of lead to look into it.

Over the two weeks, I can't say I grew closer to the Alpha here, but I most certainly did not grow further apart, much to my annoyance. I tried hard to keep my distance, I talked very little, and I tried to escape more than once. And yet, every time, I found myself back in his arms one way or another.

He was defiantly persistent, I'll give him that. The man had no shame either. I mean, who rejects their mate, then changes their mind, dragging the person into their bed every night as if nothing happened?

Night after night we would lay in his bed together, me wrapped up in is embrace. It was so awkward at first, I think I was as stiff as a board the entire night. Yet, as the days passed, I found it more and more comfortable to lay by his side. Its as if the nightmares and the horrible memories knew he was there and his presence would scare them away. And the minute he left my side, the trauma returned and I'd wake up the entire pack house with my screams.

I was so frustrated. I knew I was weak, but at this point I was feeling downright pathetic. The nightmares started the moment I rejected my pack, but the fact I was becoming dependent on this Alpha to put them at bay, that was just embarrassing.

At the same time, I was thankful towards him; his whole pack really. I hadn't slept on a bed that nice ever, not to mention they fed me so much food I actually got sick the first time. His sister Bly just laughed but Ayana seemed very concerned and since that day she had personally started to handle my nutrition.

The two twin brothers were also starting to warm up to me. Well, the younger one had warmed up to me the minute I woke up, asking me all kinds of strange questions and asking me to play video games I'd never heard of. The older twin was nice enough, he just didn't say much so I really didn't know how to react around him.

I was shocked when I realized they were the same age as me. 17 and they were already training to take over their Uncles position as the Head War Wolf? That was crazy!

When I thought about it though, the entire pack had some pretty young leaders. Adriel was only 20, and apparently, he'd been Alpha for three years, his sister taking position of Beta at only 16!

I never really knew how old my old pack Alpha was, but the creep was definitely older than that, I'd say he was nearly thirty when I left. I never knew a pack could exist like this. They were all so... welcoming.

And that was the trouble. As I tried desperately to keep up those walls around my heart, I could feel them start to crumble with every day I spent here. They were so welcoming, so friendly and kind, every ounce of my heart wanted to stay here forever. But I knew, from the moment Adriel pulled me back here and apologized, from the moment he asked me to forgive him and be his mate, I knew I had to leave.
