Roho walked into the training center as she did every morning but this morning things seemed to be pretty tense around the entire pack and it spread even to the warriors "what's going on?" "haven't you heard Red? the Alpha King is demanding every pack send members to undergo trials to join his army, they're saying the Reapers Nation seem to be on the move again so he wants to be prepared just in case they attempt to do what they did 76 years ago" "oh come on, you don't think that's really going happen do you Pete" " well, whether or not it's going to happen, the king has sent his degree, so the Alpha will hold a meeting tonight to announce the chosen ones to be sent to take part in the trials" A chance encounter between two mates, one yearning and the other is defiant and fights against their bond, what will happen when they are put to the test and all they have to rely on is each other.

One more shift done, I stretch myself before leaving my lab room, I truly am tired but I need to head home and get some rest for my shift at the border later. I say by to the staff as I exit the pack hospital and blink a few times adjusting my eyes to the sun light, Imake my way along, headed back to the hellhole I call home, most people would look at it and consider it to be a beautiful home, and I’m sure to others it is but for me, it’s the source of discomfort.
“ Hey Red!” ‘ hey Dirk! It’s been a while, how you been?’ “I’ve been good, we just got back from our visit to the other packs, I’m headed home to Sammy” ' try not to keep your neighbours up all night huh’ he chuckled and went on along his way. As you’ve heard my name is Roho, which means Red in Spanish, we’ll not get too much into why the people responsible for me would name me that but what can I do, the nickname Red has already grown on me through the years and it’s what people know me as so it’s fine I suppose. I can’t say that was the case in my younger years, I had thought my name sounded unique when compared to those around me but after attending Spanish class and the true meaning of my name came to light, there was a lot of teasing, at first it really bothered me because it just showed me how little thought was put into me and my name, which hurt me and I lashed out when teased but I came to accept there was nothing I could do and stopped and so did the teasing, it was only worth something when they could get a rise out of me. If you're curious, my father got tired of waiting for his true mate and chose Nika as his mate after meeting her at another pack while he was on a consultation mission as a pack doctor, one thing led to another and the twins came, and the rest was history, the problem came after when he met his true mate, my mother Rozaria two years after he mated and marked Nika, I was told that she was devasted that he had not waited for her and chose another and even had pups but she could not resist the pull of the mate bond and along came me, surprise! unfortunately she died after child birth and my father in turn was devasted and almost lost his mind. I was told he'd visit the pack she was from every chance he got because naturally he could not resist their bond either, and I suppose somewhere along the road, his chosen Nika found out about it, because even though chosen mate don't feel the aches of betrayal as strongly as a true mate, because she is marked she would get an inkling whenever my father would mate with my mother, in the odd times when my father would speak about my mom when I was younger, he once said he didn't understand how she could've died during childbirth as she was a very strong she wolf, strong and healthy, he wanted her death to be investigated but as werewolves it was just written off as an unfortunate one off thing and he grieved at the fact that he couldn't even get to bury her because her parents took her body away back to their pack and he never knew which pack that was. He naturally had no choice but to take me back to his pack with him to meet his chosen and my older step siblings, at first my siblings were kind to me being pups but as they grew and their mothers' resentment towards my mother and father fell unto me and she slowly but surely began to poison their minds towards me and they all in turn treated me badly, my father had been indifferent to me but they never treated me badly when my dad was around. My brother and sister had the best of everything, provided by their mother and my things were okay at best but that was fine by me because I had learned from very young that Nika was not my mother and I was never to address her as such and made it known to my father and me that he was to provide me with my wants and needs as I was his child and had nothing to do with her. As a doctor he made good money, the majority of it would naturally go to Nika to manage the house and for their children and he would then let me go shopping with the Alpha children, given my situation the Luna and Alpha have been very fond of me so to speak and treated me kindly, their children also treated me kindly, they had two sons and a daughter Ember, Ivan and Joao, Ember and I are as thick as thieves, always getting into trouble together or one bailing the other out of trouble, Ivan and Joao kept us safe and watchful eye on us as best as they could to keep us out of trouble and naturally when Ember and I got into trouble, they also got into trouble for not keeping us out of trouble, outside of home I was content. Although my siblings would always make snide remarks and tease me about being a leech or charity case that the Alpha kids felt sorry for and kept me around because I was basically a nobody without meaning.I'm still holding onto Beau and whatever it is, is still also holding to Beau trying to drag him further into the forbidden part of the forest "shit, I can't even grab hold of it, it's so damn strong" "why don't you try shifting" "I can't, I don't know why but I can't shift" “shit”I spot a tree with a low hanging branch coming up as we get dragged along, still not seeing what it is that’s dragging us, well Beau along. “Grab onto that branch right there, I’d let go of you and try to break you free from whatever then you can try to shift” he takes hold of the branch and I release him and quickly grab one of my knives and slash the thing that was on his foot, we hear a loud screech from deeper in but ignore it.“Why aren’t you shifting Beau, we gotta get out of here!” “agghh I can’t Red, my leg, I think it’s broken” I hadn’t realized that the tentacle was still wrapped around his leg, I help him stand “come on, we gotta try tog et out of here before that thing comes back, I’ll get that
We got off training in Four hours thanks to our group not being found during our training run but I am still pumped after the remaining training we received "what should we do now guys?" "how about we go for a run?" "okay" "what are you guys doing here?" it's a few of the other trainees from the day team "we got let off early" "bullshit, why? we were up at the crack of dawn and trained our full eight hours and you're telling me you got off early?""Yes, yes we did" the guy stepped closer to me, I suppose hoping to intimidate me "first of all back the hell up out of my personal space or I will make you" he jaw ticks and he takes three steps back "we got let off early because one of the teams went through the training in the forest without being caught" "you expect me to believe that?" "well you can ask anyone who is on the night shift as well as the instructors" I turn and leave pulling Beau, Joao and the others with me."I don't like you, you know" I call back "then it's a good thing
Gosh it's getting hot again, I try to focus on what the instructors are saying but it's proving to be quite difficult, then once again it fades away and I refocus my attention to what they're demonstrating. "Alright now you try, I know it will take you some time to get it but we want to see you do it and how well you handle it so we can work with you from there"I try copying what I saw him do, closing my eyes and using my hands to do the breathing mantra, I feel myself getting lighter, or perhaps light headed I really don't know "it would seem the night shift has the faster set of learners" I open my eyes and the instructors are looking at us with smiles "you all did very well, better than the day shift if I'm honest, but don't tell them I said that" we all chuckle."Alright one more time and this time be as still and quiet as possible" "hang on Harry, let's do this, seeing as you guys seem to think they're doing better than the others why not just go straight to the test hmm?" "let'
I remove the cover and my mouth waters, three baked potatoes with two pieces of steak, I can even pick her scent up from the plate and cutlery, I smile to myself ‘she thought of us Hunt’ ‘she probably thought of me, I mean she did buy a glasses with me in mind’ I can feel him wagging in my mind ‘oh be quiet’ he snickers and I begin to eat “Gods this is so damn good” I savour the food, eating as slowly as I possibly could because I did not want the meal to end, I do love the sauce on the steak.Never in my life have I eaten and licked the plate not once but four times, when she made the soup I kept the rest of it and had it twice after and now with this meal.I’m so full, I take the lift down rather the stairs to return the tray, Daisy is there eating, her back is turned as she speaks to another kitchen aid “even for me this steak is incredible and the sauce, try the sauce! I mean she used the ingredients from my kitchen, the same ingredients I use and made this”I place the tray down,
“I WISH YOU WOULD STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM ME ROHO!” he calls after me “GUESS YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO LEARN TO SPRINT THEN SIRE!!” I respond as I continue on laughing.A hand snakes around my waist and hoists me like a sack of potatoes, I look up and it’s him “you were saying dear?” “what the?” “language” he stops running and moves me from under his arm to holding me out like Rafiki and Simba and stares at me, I fold my hands clearly not amused and he bites his lip to prevent himself from laughing or smiling “so not funny! Put me down” “it’s a little funny!” “put me down, I’ll stomp on your toes” “say please, and what makes you think it’s okay to speak to your King like that little lady?”I am flabbergasted “I am not little! Please put me down before you make people see us like this, the last thing I need for people to think I earn favours from you or something” he obliges and put me down, still pouting with my arms folded glaring up at him, this time he covers his mouth with his hand and
“Well considering I am not an Alpha I would say so yes, you’re talking to the wrong person”“Well your Alpha is the one who said he had to call you to find out what’s what not us”“Give me that!”“What the heck Roro?!”“What? I mean it’s not like I asked them to follow me back Alpha, what are you mad at me for?”He sighs “what must I do with you young lady? Why did you help them in the first place, they’re rogues”I Pause for a bit “well Alpha, Rouges are people too and each person has their own story and reasons plus they don’t seem like a bad bunch!”“Okay, I will hear them out and decide from there, how is training?”“It’s not started as of yet, Beau, Joao and I are on the night shift team so tonight is our first day basically”“Okay then, is Joao nearby?”I swivel to look for him “Oh he’s uhh hmm well he was there a while ago, I’ll have to let him call you back Alpha”“No that’s fine Roro, you take care of yourselves alright?”“Okay, bye bye”“Bye”“Oh! Here he comes Alpha, hang o
