ROGUE

I remembered the last time I saw my family. I was eighteen years old, preparing myself for the first time I would shift.My father was telling me that I didn't need to worry. It would be painful when it first happened but, when I change, I would be the most beautiful wolf any male had ever had the privledge of laying their eyes on.My mother was assuring me that it was the most exciting time in any wolf's life, the first time they experienced the change and were able to run freely as their wolf. You could feel the wind running through your fur and enjoy a freedom you had never had before.My older brother had done nothing but rave how impressive it felt to be able to shift. He loved the power it gave him but what he loved even more than that was that he had been able to find his mate; he had told me that was the most precious moment in a wolf's life. The moment they found the person they wanted to spend the rest of their life with.It had been nothing short of perfect. Only that's the

I don't know how long I was looking at the door before it was pushed open. The force behind it almost causing it to fall from its hinges. Jayson looked pissed off. I'm not talking pissed off in that he wants to smash up a few trees, I am talking pissed off in that he wants to rip heads from bodies. Not that I could blame him, I am sure it was Blake's job to begin the torture, but instead he's demanding my release. "What the fuck is going on here?" Jayson shouted, his eyes moving to Blake who was still eyeing me like I was the most wonderful thing in the world. If I didn't have a set of silver handcuffs around my wrists at this moment, I would have shifted and probably killed him. “You wouldn't have done that though because I wouldn't have allowed you to touch him.” My wolf voicing her opinion, her unwelcome opinion which wasn't going to change what I thought of Blake. "Funny story. Turns out your Beta is my mate. Hilarious, right?" I found myself laughing as the words left my mouth

  I couldn't stop pacing up and down. All my thoughts were consumed by the woman on the other side of the door, the woman who was in the room with the man who would have been successful in killing her had I not stopped him.   I had never felt anger like I did in that moment. The only thing on my mind was murdering Jayson. Murdering the man who was my best friend and had been there for me through all the shit my father had put me through; I was prepared to murder my Alpha because he dared to touch my mate.   At twenty-five, I never thought I would find my mate. I had pretty much accepted that I was going to spend the rest of my life alone while everyone else around me found their happiness. Jayson had found his mate the moment he turned nineteen and, at twenty, Jackson still has time to find his without too much worry.   Unlike my father, who seemed to think having a mate was pointless, I actually wanted to f

 I almost regretted saying the words the moment I had said them, but it was too late to take them back now and the truth was out there. Jackson knew the reason I wasn't ready to accept Blake and I am sure he was going to report that back to him when he was done here. I could see the wheels in his head turning as he put everything together in his mind. Jackson didn't seem like an idiot, in fact he came across as someone who was highly intelligent and clearly knew what he was doing, but I am sure he was forming his own opinions on what I had told him. In fact, he was probably waiting for the right moment to tell me that I was being childish and that it was time for me to grow the hell up. He was going to tell that Blake was nothing to do with what his father did and that I shouldn't blame him, that I should just give him a chance. But it wasn't that simple for someone like me. I couldn't simply trust someone b

If there is one thing I hate more than anything it's people who lie. I will never understand people who lie because the truth always comes out in the end and then everyone hates you for lying in the first place.   I had spent an entire week with Ellie. We had actually become pretty good friends with each other in that short amount of time so to know she was lying to me actually hurt like a bitch. I told her she could trust me, but it would seem she's still struggling to understand that concept even though I have done nothing to show her otherwise.   At twenty I am younger than both Jayson and Blake. They have lived for almost six years longer than I have but even they admit that I have more sense than the both of them combined. I'm the one who brings normality and stability to our friendship, Blake brings the humour and witty comments while Jayson brings the moodiness and serious amount of arrogance which goes with being an Alpha. &n
