My Rogue

Chapter 12: Attack

Adriel's POV

I found myself once again stirring my food around my plate like a child as I sat devoid of all emotion at the dinning room table. My mind had been in a constant state of confusion since we sedated Mika two days ago. Twice since then, he's woken up in a complete haze just to start thrashing about again like the devil was in his body.

My wolf has been a mess these few days, huddled in on himself crying out to our mate. I can't say I blame him. I'm so desperate to have Mika back in my arms, those big green eyes gazing up at me and maybe one day show me what his smile looks like.

And yet, everyday I have to sit by his side and watch as he sleeps only with the drugs pumping through his veins.

A low growl escaped my lips, I'm not even sure why until Bly slips down to the chair beside me, breaking me from my thoughts and bringing me back to the unappetizing plate of food in front of me..

"How you doing?"

I just answer her with a grunt. I haven't slept in three days, not to mentions having a decent night's sleep in weeks now. Needless to say, my energy to deal with things outside of my mate is dropping at an alarming rate, something not too good for an alpha.

Bly just give me a sympathetic hand squeeze. "I know you're having a rough time, Addy. I'm trying to hold down the fort, but the rogues were spotted again on the eastern borders. I've had Uncle send more of the War Wolves to that side, but Keo fears they're just trying to pull our defenses to one side and leave holes in our patrols."

I drop my fork into the plate and give a long sigh.

"I'm sorry Addy, I know you're dealing with a lot with Mika, but- "

"No no, I'm still the Alpha, that's no excuse," I said as I stood.

I could see her face flinch in pain. All werewolves knew what it meant to have your mate in pain like this. We haven't even bonded yet, but our connection was so strong already, I couldn't imagine what I would be feeling if I had already claimed him.

"I'm sorry..." She spoke in a low voice as we walked towards the medical room.

We opened the door to Mika's room to see Ayana sitting on a chair, typing away on her laptop as the machine hooked up to Mika beat steadily.

Ayana glanced up from her computer, her brown curls falling wild across her face. "What are you doing here? Didn't I just send you to get some food like ten minutes ago?"

"I eat fast," I replied as I walked up to grip Mika's hand in mine. "I need to go attend to something. I just... wanted to see him first."

Neither of my sisters spoke up at that. Both of them had their heads bowed with odd looks on their faces, neither saying much.

"Yea we'll give you some space," Bly said, pushing our older sister out the door and just like that, it was just me and my sleeping beauty.

Bly's POV:

You know how they say, 'life's not fair'? I don't think that's necessarily true. The way I see it, life is just biased towards some, giving them all the luck and leaving nothing left for the people it deems a derision.

Take me for example. Sure, my parents died in ways that still scarred me today, but I Adriel and Ayana who really stood up and were there for us. And yes, I was forced into a position way over my head too young, but that's what made me who I am today; a strong, bad-ass wolf. And when I feel like the world is against me, I have Charlie. I had a crush on him forever, since I think the moment I opened my eyes. I have no idea what the goddess like about me so much to give me Charlie as a mate. Shit happened to me, but I still managed to come out better and stronger. I was truly a lucky one.
