The Alpha’s Little Rogue

Chapter 29
Alessia’s POV
I wake up feeling hot all over.
My forehead is warm when I place the back of my palm on it. What’s happening? Could I be falling sick? Weren’t werewolves
immune to illness?
With a pained groan, I drag myself out of bed and into the bathroom to freshen up. I can’t afford to miss a day of training when
Caden is being an a s s. He’ll probably take it as an opportunity to end my training
The shower cools me down and I spend a longer time in it than I normally would. It’s still fairly early in the morning when I head
downstairs. Early enough that the living area is void of any soul.
This was the time I usually got up to head to the training grounds. It’s the time that Caden set for me to have extra training
lessons before others came by.
Still feeling a slight headache and fever, I change my direction from the front door to the kitchen, hoping to find something to
alleviate this illness. I halt in my step as I see a figure standing in front of the coffee maker.
Jake.” I call out, looking at his familiar brunette hair. I didn’t expect him to be back so soon.
He turns around, a smile fixed on his face. “Alessi-” The smile on his face disappears as his eyes widen and his nostrils flare. His
eyes darken, nearly turning black. “Alessia, go away. Leave right now.” He rounds the kitchen Island, not turning his back to me.
My brows furrow in confusion and I move closer to him. “What’s wrong? Is everything ok?” I ask, starting to get a little worried at
this weird behavior.
A sharp pain has me clenching my head, heaving and gasping at the immense pain. What in the hell is happening to me? Am I
dying?

“Alessia, you’re in heat,” he rushes out. “You need to go back to your room. I can’t be around you right now.

Please, go away,” he begs desperately, eyeing my positi

I hear him but at the same time, my focus is on the throbbing in my head.
“Alessia,” he groans, his eyes darkening. Then he groans again and walks purposely towards me. He grips me by the forearm
and starts pulling me towards the stairs.
Not being able to fight him, I follow willingly, feeling like my head might just explode.
I’m in heat. I know what that means. I need Caden to mark or mate with me, unless I’m going to be in unimaginable pain for a
while.
Jake is still dragging me and cursing harshly under his breath. Something about him not being cut out for

this.
I ignore him, too focused on my pain. What am I going to do? I need Caden but I know that there’s no way in hell that he’s going
to think of even touching me. He hates me. Me being in unimaginable pain and despair isn’t going to change that.
Just as we reach the front of my door, my knees buckle and I fall down, grasping at the floor with my nails as blinding pain
flashes behind my eyelids. Goddd, I don’t think I can survive this pain. There has to be something I can do. At this point, I’m

willing to do anything to get rid of this pain.
“Mate,” Zuri whines. “We need mate.
We can’t have him. I yell inwardly, not having the strength required to deal with a whining wolf.
Jake is looking down at me worriedly, his eyes going over my hunched form on the ground. “You need your mate’s help.
F u c k that. If I can’t get what I need from Caden then I’ll just get it from somewhere else.
I force myself onto my feet and move closer to Jake who tentatively steps back, looking ready to bolt at any second.
Jake, please help me.” I don’t exactly know what I’m begging for but I just know that I’ll be able to get it from him. “It hurts so
much,” I beg, whining as another sharp pain hits me, nearly bringing me back to my
knees.
Jake’s eyes are completely black now and his tongue slides out, running across his lips as he inches closer
to me.
I sigh, knowing I’m going to get the help I need. His fingertips graze my face as he cups my cheek and-
A second later, Jake is on the floor and a raging Caden is on him, plummeting him to the ground. “How dare you lay hands on
my mate?!” Caden growls. No, that’s not Caden. It’s Xavier.

gasp, my head reeling from the sudden change but thankfully, I have the brain to react quick enough. “Caden,” I call out, rushing
to them. “Stop it. You’re going to kill him,” I pull on his arm, trying and failing to get him off Jake’s unmoving form. Is he dead?
My hands slip away from Caden’s arm as I curl into a ball on the floor, my eyes stinging as another wave of pain hits me.
Suddenly, I feel myself being lifted from the floor and held by a warm body. I sigh, burying my face into at muscular neck and
breathing in their scent. They smell so f u c k i n g good. Will they taste this good too?
Without thinking, my tongue slides out and I run it up the muscular neck, feeling the pulse beating widely. Hmm, they don’t taste

as good as I would expect but that’s probably due to the fact that I’m licking a skin.
I can’t seem to make myself stop though. I fist my hands into the front of their shirt and bury my face

deeper into the place where their shoulder meets with their neck.
More. I need more. So much more.
