All Chapters of Rouge Silverflame: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

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

The drive home was calm, I felt strangely at ease; when I talked to Alpha James again all I had to do was convince him to let me stay till graduation and then everything would be okay. That seemed like a decently easy task compared to trying to get a place to stay and the idea of living with Scarlet’s family was a happy one. Pulling into the driveway I was surprised to see lights still on with the fact it was just a little pass midnight; normally the house would be dark when I got home from my shift. My nerves were on edge seeing the lights on and I remembered before I left the fact Alpha James wanted to talk to me, I tried to not think about that to long though. Maybe Charlotte had stayed up past curfew again and the Alpha or Luna was up waiting for her, it had happened before. I tried shrugging off my unease and turned off my truck before heading in. Walking in I quickly realize I had every reason to feel uneasy when I see Alpha James sitting in the front room, the look on his face

“What happened” Scarlet whispered leaning towards me at our table trying not to get caught talking in class. “Supposedly I attacked Duke unprovoked in the hall and gave him a black eye, oh and supposedly I used my wolf to do so.” I replied rolling my eyes at how ridiculous all this was. I heard a giggle escape Scarlet but a stern look from our teacher ended the conversation at that point. I was still wondering how Duke got a black eye but decided it probably was him and his friends trying to get me into trouble so pushed it to the back of my mind to focus on science class. We were discussing why shifting was important for a werewolf especially if we had to eat raw meat and how it digested definitely in wolf form compared to human form. This was a semi common topic for people to get grossed out learning so our teacher had to keep the class focused but I could hear someone in the back of the classroom whispering to their lab partner. “Not like Rouge will ever need to know this, stupid wo

"Rouge." I heard a voice trying to get my attention but everything felt numb, the voice sounded muffled like I was underwater. Suddenly a pair of hands were on my shoulders shaking me softly. "You can't shift here my dear we need to get you out of the school." A husky voice I semi felt was familar was whispering into my ear, his hot breath against my skin. "I don't have a wolf." I mumbled not understanding why he was thinking I was about to shift. "Sure darlin but you still need to get out of here." His husky voice still sounded so distant and I couldn't place it. "Scarlet tell her next teacher she'll be in the nurses office." I heard him till Scar before suddenly I wasn't in my desk but in his arms, everything felt weird and I knew I needed to focus but the desire to just close my eyes was so tempting. I felt weirdly safe at the moment a safety I hadn't felt in years if ever. I could feel that he was walking but I didn't question it. the pressure from the barrier was worst then it eve

"Not today." A voice I couldn't place whispered in the darkness and suddenly I was laying on the floor with Scarlet kneeling next to me crying. My body hurt but the barrier was still in place but I could tell it was much weaker then it was before. "Scarlet I'm okay." I whispered trying not to startle her but she still jumped a little. "Rouge, oh my goddess I thought you were going to shift. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't get the alpha like I normally would if it was someone else and I couldn't risk mind linking my mom and him finding out." She sounded so sad. "Scarlet, one if I shifted with you this close to me I could have hurt you or worse. Two I don't know how I didn't shift, I could sense my wolf; it was about to break free but then I heard someone and it stopped and I'm guessing I never shifted but the voice seemed to calm my wolf in a instint." I told her, starting to sit up but she reached out and laid her hand on me nodding no. I looked at her but didn't question it as sh
