“She was what?” I asked, she clearly was confused. “I am sure you have sensed it Rouge, you mother had alpha blood, her family had moved here when she was young; like your parents your grandparents were from different packs. Your grandfather was the youngest son of an alpha, he was given permission to marry your grandmother because he wouldn’t have become an alpha, when they had your mother, they didn’t expect her to have alpha blood but when she shifted at thirteen, they realized the reality of things. She hid her ability to shift for a while, but she told me the truth. She knew her secret was safe with me and my parents so she would run with us in secret. Well James took a fancy to her; they started out as friends and I think he hoped they would be mates as time passed. It broke his heart when they were both eighteen and the mate bond never formed because they had started dating the year before it was as if he never thought about the fact there was a chance that they wouldn’t be a fa
I could see Wayne and Dean talking in the corner of the room, Dean’s body langue showed the conversation had been tense when we walked in, I had just got done helping Momma Rose set up the guest room for Wayne, me and Clarissa were going to stay in Scarlet’s room. I wondered silently to myself what could be causing the men in front of me to be so tense but since they stopped talking as soon as we walked in, I assumed it must not need to include me. I smiled at the sight of little Christopher curled up asleep on the couch, he was so innocent, and I was glad that none of this was affecting him enough to affect him. “Rouge, come here please.” Dean’s voice pulled my attention back to the men standing to the side, I saw Momma Rose throw her mate a look I didn’t understand as I walked over to them. “Rose tells me there was an incident at the diner the other day, I need to know more about what happened.” Dean’s tone seemed like he was trying to sound soothing and calm, but I could hear the e
“Rouge wake up.” A voice whispered in my ear. I startled awake feeling the breath behind the voice against my ear. For just a moment I feared the worst; an image of Luccus came into my mind. My body tensed as I woke up more but immediately, I relaxed once I realized it was Wayne who was whispering in my ear, he was leaning against Scarlet’s dresser; concern was clear on his face and I wondered why. The sunlight filled the room and as I took in the room I noticed Clarissa and Scarlet weren’t in the room anymore. I could smell the scent of bacon in the air so I knew it wasn’t too late in the day and I knew Momma Rose would never let me skip school. I pulled my legs to my chest feeling stiff from sleeping on the floor but the look on his face was holding my attention more than the empty room. He looked worried; a tiny bit of sadness was apparent in his eyes as he looked at me. I had never seen anyone look at me like this though, it was more than the pity people showed me when I was disow
The first class of the day seemed to pass quickly, I almost felt invisible if I was to be honest. The teacher had us reading in our text books and everyone was discussing the murder of the girl, a few people guessed it was a member of a visiting pack that attacked her but no one guessed it was a wolf with alpha blood, they all assumed it must be a lower level pack member who got overly gutsy being here or maybe even jealous. I kept my nose in my book minus sending Scarlet quick glances. My best friend was handling it far better than I had hoped, her body posture was the only thing that gave away that something was going on, any time I shifted in my seat she did as well. By the time the bell rung I was happy to leave the classroom and the feeling of being trapped and I was thankful for the walk to my next classroom; Clarissa fell in step within seconds of us leaving the classroom and we fell into a conversation about art as we walked. I was thankful for the few moments of normal convers
Class with Wayne next to me was a blur if I’m honest, walking in Wayne went to talk to the teacher while me and Scarlet went and sat down. I was surprised when he came and sat with us. Art was always my favorite after all but it was diffferent with him there, he was my muse. Looking at the sketch after we were done I knew without a doubt I was falling for him. I was suprised when he wouldn’t show us his own sketch but I didn’t push because I didn’t want him to ask to see mine. Walking out of the classroom I could hear whispers again, this time I paid attention to them. I concluded someone had seen what happened on the field but it seemed no one knew the wolf protecting me was Wayne, the other whispers were about the fact I wasn’t being left alone by the *pack* and that they must have chosen me to come with them for some reason. I chuckled to myself that they would be so caught up in what happened to me after all most of these people wanted the worse for me. I caught Wayne looking at
I woke to the sun filling my room again and cursed under my breathe, I slept through my alarm again and now was running late to school. The fact no one tried to wake me didn’t faze me anymore, ever since Alpha James and Luna Cathy got approval to skip me being their heir when I was thirteen, they stopped pretending to care. I used to be angry about the fact they took me in and stopped caring for me once their own children were born but then again, I understood. I was born a rouge; that’s all I’d ever be and they had only let me into the pack because some mysterious history between James and my mother. I was born to a she-wolf from the pack but she had gone rouge to be with my father, a wolf from another pack; which pack I will never know. My mother died giving birth to me at a human hospital, my father broke laws to bring me to James who had just taken over as alpha from his father before him; the man who refused to take my father into the dark woods pack. James didn’t kill my fathe
Muttering curses to myself I rolled out of bed, glancing at the clock on my nightstand 11:10am. Great I had already missed my first three classes for the day, if I hurried I’d make it in time for my afternoon classes. I yanked off my work uniform I had fallen asleep in, irritated I didn’t have time for a shower and pulled on a basic pair of jeans and one of my favorite band tees. Tossing my hair into a ponytail I dashed down the stairs grabbing my car keys and a banana for the road before bolting out the door to my banged up Ford truck. She was a older beast but she was what I could afforded when I bought her at sixteen with no help from James or Cathy; I had needed a better way to get to work then walking so she fit the bill. I pushed the key into the ignition and smiled as she roared to life, Cathy always complained when I first got my beast of a truck that it was to loud but stopped when I said the only way I could afford another car was if I had help with the bill, she clearly didn
Driving home my mind wandered, my birthday was a week away and although I had a decent savings account built up I was nervous because so much was unknown. When I got my job at fourteen I made sure I opened my own bank account thankful that the bank let me due to the fact everyone knew what happened with the Alpha and Luna basically disowning me, the first question I asked was if there was a way I could access it off pack lands; thankfully I found a bank service that serviced all packs and even areas in between. The banker who set up my account told me they even serviced rouges for if they got a job and that all locations were ran by wolves even those on human land. It eased my mind knowing I’d have access to my money no matter what happened next week but I still hoped that the Alpha would let me stack on pack lands just a little longer, graduation was in just two months time so maybe I’d get luck.Pulling up to the pack house I was surprised to see no one was home still with the fact

I changed quickly in the lockeroom with Scarlet, my senses told me Wayne and Clarissa were outside waiting for us. I wondered a little why Wayne would growl as his beta but thinking at him brought a blush to my cheeks again. I hoped he wasn’t upset that I fell asleep against him, truthfully it was the best sleep I think I ever had experienced and the scent he filled my nose with still lingered and I wondered how long it would last, a part of me hoped the rest of the day at least. I didn’t know why his presence caused this feeling but I hoped it would never end, I hoped nothing would make it where I had to join a different pack but Luccus’s threat was wearing heavy on my mind what if he made it where I lost my choice to go to the blue moon pack. I didn’t want to go to the blood moon pack no matter what I wanted to refuse but what if he didn’t let me. A shudder went through my body as I thought about the interaction I just had with him; for him to show up here during class showed he tho
Walking up to the school the vibe of the entire building felt different, everyone seemed on edge and I was confused why that would be the case then I saw him sitting the entrance of the school. Luccus Mei was sitting in the entrance dressed in all black and a look that would make most wolves submit. I felt Clarissa tighten her grip on me and Scarlet. “Keep moving, do not respond no matter what he says Rouge.” She eyes had taken a darker shade as she looked at Luccus. I didn’t know why she was saying that but something about him made me want to run so I wasn’t going to ignore her suggestion. She pulled us after her towards the entrance with an aura of energy I knew to be due her being a beta, I just hoped it would be enough after all he was the grandson of a alpha, alpha blood ran through his veins. I thought we were in the clear when he suddenly reached out and snagged my wrist. “You’ll be mine Rouge, no matter what Wayne says; once I want something it always ends up being mine.” He g

The event is completly fictional but your mental health is important please reach out to someone if this causes your distress.***Three days before my birthday and for the first time in many years I woke feeling calm and happy. Wayne and Clarissa had introduced me to a few other members of the pack the night before and had kept me away from the Blood Moon Pack for the rest of the evening, I noticed the alpha’s grandson had kept his eyes on me most of the night but Wayne always blocked his path if he attempted to walk towards us. I was surprised the hours had passed so quickly but suddenly Alpha James was having everyone leave for the night and although Clarissa said she wanted to stay Luna Cathy told her she had to leave as well. The uneasy feeling creped in about an hour later, a feeling that someone was watching me but the scent of sandalwood and amber filled my nose and the feeling passed as I drifted o
Exactly an hour later the Luna returned to see what we had accomplished in making me presentable to the packs, I was surprised when she didn’t fuss over the fact I was wearing a skin tight emerald green dress that fell just above my knee. Clarissa had done great curling my long hair and putting it into a nice updo that was simple but elegant, the makeup she applied was far more complex than anything I would have attempted on myself but I liked the smoky eye and eye liner she did. I still looked like m which I was thankful for, I had seen some of the styles Charlotte had done which was full face glam resulting in her actual facial structure to look different. “I wish you would have used a lighter shade of lipstick but I guess this will do.” The Luna looked at me with a slight look of approval. I knew she wanted me gone and I guess she didn’t care for the reason behind a pack wanting me to joint them, so a dress that would have normally resulted in cruel remarks of how I looked easy didn
