Izzy's POV

It's finally dark outside. I get up and start working on my escape but it has to be quiet. I slide my dresser over in front of the door. I wince as it makes a noise, but I don't hear footsteps so that's a good thing. I continue to push everything in front of the door. 

Once I am finished with that I double check my bag to make sure I have everything that I need. A change of clothes that are too small, check. Broken hairbrush, check. The little bit of money I have been skimming slowly over the last two years, Collecting change from the washer. I have it in a sock in the bottom of my old school bag inside of my duffle bag. 

I have a paper with where I plan on going there too. I zip my bag back up, and open the window. I sit there waiting for the footsteps that I know are going to come. Dad has to get his daily quota on beating me. I shake my head at the thought.

I sit watching the moon, it is full tonight. The glow is mesmerizing and has me distracted for some time. I can feel my eyes glowing and feel Cas looking out of my eyes also in the trance of the moon. I don’t know how long we just sit there, something snaps me out of my trance. I remember the alarm clock. 

Looking back at it I see it is eleven thirty already. I listen very closely to see if I can hear anyone. All I can detect is snores throughout the house. 

“Cas, do you think we can go ahead and go?” I ask her.

“I don’t see what it is going to matter at this point. I mean thirty minutes won’t make a difference.” She shrugs at me.

“You know we can't shift until we are in the woods away from eyes , right?” I ask her, just making sure she doesn’t get too excited.

“I know Izzy, just got me to the woods. I have it from there. It is a full moon, nobody can outrun me on a full moon. I get a charge from it. It makes me stronger.” She said with confidence.

“How do you know?” I ask but I feel in my gut that she is right.

“It is just a feeling I get when we sit in the window. On a full moon, have you noticed how we heal faster on a full moon? Our ribs are starting to ease off, and the arm that was broken earlier is completely healed.” I focus on my body and what she says is true my arm just has a dull ache. My ribs still hurt with every breath, but it is definitely easing off. 

I look back at the room one last time. I’ll be grateful if I never have to stay in this room again. Good riddins i say! If I knew the place was empty I would set it on fire. Even after everything that they have done to me. Not all of them are bad, some tried to help me in the beginning and my father caught one of them giving me more food than allowed. 

Dad murdered him in front of the entire pack and said that was their fate if they helped me. After that it slowly stopped. I got help from not a single person. Not until Cas showed up on my fourteenth birthday. 

Not everyone abused me but the ones that just started make it worse. I could see that they wanted to help but were terrified for their lives. I get it if I were them I would probably do the same thing.

We dreamed of our sixteenth birthday so we could find our mate. I wish he would have been from a different pack, I dreamed he would take me away from all of this. I was so wrong, he was my biggest tormentor. He plagues my dreams. 

We heard a rumor of second chance mates, but we don't know if they exist but if they do then Cas and I plan to find him. I don't think of anything else. I just jump from the window waiting for the moment that I hit the ground. Expecting pain, only I land on the balls of my feet. Not a single part of my body hurts and it is so clear out. I can feel the moon charging Cas through me, this is amazing. We have never been able to shift outside on a full moon.

I can’t wait to see what it feels like in wolf form. I reach down and grab the duffle from the ground, tossing the strap on my shoulder. Glancing back to make sure no lights have turned on, every window was still dark. I turn and run for the forest. 

“Is it just me or am I running faster? I feel super charged, Cas.” She is getting more and more excited. I can feel it blending with my own excitement of getting out of this hell hole. I feel myself grin at the thought.

“It is the full moon and you pretty much are super charged. Just wait it gets better tho, or at least I think it will.” She sounds sure but doubts herself. We break through the trees, running at full speed, which is pretty fast now. 

“Alright Cas lets see what you got.” I taunt her, excitedly, waiting to see what it feels like shifted for the first time under a full moon. I pause dropping the duffle bag on the ground, knowing that if she shifts it will destroy the bag. I don’t even feel winded. 

“Woman please.” She scoffs at me. 

I feel her roll our eyes as she takes control of my body forcing the shift. She stretches out like a cat, and shakes out her fur. Her claws digging into the ground. She takes a deep breath, shit she was right this feels amazing. 

She drops her head and picks up the bag carefully with her teeth. Then she does something I'm not expecting and takes off in a blur. We were moving so fast we would reach the border in no time. I could see everything so clear through her eyes. 

We had reached the border in less than five minutes. When she steps over she turns around looking back at the pack territory. 

“Izzy you have to be the one to do it. This has to come from the human side.” I nod already knowing that. I force the mind link to my father. He is still sleeping but this should wake him up.

“I Izabelle Hale denounce my loyalty to the Blue Moon pack, and declare myself rouge!” I didn’t just say it, I screamed it. I felt him wake and heard howls from everywhere. Ha the jackass actually thought i would do it before i passed the border. Cas turns and starts running. 

Eventually the howls slow then die out all together and I don't think they could follow us if they wanted to. Not at the speed we are moving. My heart skips a beat thinking they managed to follow. When I hear howls coming from every direction, closing me in. 

Cas’s claws dig into the ground when she suddenly spins a fierce snarl leaving her mouth. Pulling back her lips to show her teeth. When she freezes staring at a man pulling yellow shorts. 

He looks like something out of a fairytale. Abs that definitely show how physically fit he is. His hair is light brown, and looks a little like a bed head. He was perfect in every way. His eyes shift back and forth from green to onyx.

“MATE!” They say simultaneously.

“Cas, are you sure?” I asked nervously. She takes a big whiff and it hits me, he is our second chance

As well as Simon, they were going to take the first shift with the twins so that Nick, Izzy and I could rest some. Walking into the bathroom I turn on both shower heads. Izzy comes in behind me with towels. But I don't see Nick anywhere. Iz must have seen the question behind my eyes.“He is tucking Rosie and Blair into bed.” She says while pulling her shirt up over her head. She slips her shorts off leaving her in her underwear. Her skin is pale, her eyes glowing like always. Only now I can see something new there that wasn’t there before. Longing is what I see now, also some guilt. Although she has no reason to feel guilty. My eyes roam down over her body. All I see is perfection, my beautiful mate. She doesn’t even have a scar from the c-section Cas must have completely healed her or Crescenda one.

The tension rolling off of her was very noticeable. Able is watching her with me, she is making him anxious. He starts pacing in my head trying to find out if she knows what we have been doing. He is ready to get back to the pack house, I can’t say that I disagree with him. However, I desperately want to see Rosie. “Izzy, are you okay? You are acting a little off.” I say to her.“Are you finished eating?” She avoided my question. This only made Able more anxious and his anxiety started bleeding into me. Her eyes glaze over not giving me the chance to answer. Not five seconds later a door opens and one of the cooks runs out. She quickly collects all of the dishes, nodding to everyone at the table with a smile. She walks back to their pack house not saying a word. “Zaden, I want to talk to you about

  • Rejected Abused Escaped   Chapter Thirty Seven

    Sunny’s POV Opening my eyes, the room is dark. I can still smell Izzy and Nick but it is faint. So it is probably from the fact that this is their room. I feel for the remote on the bedside table and push a button. The curtains open, making me close my eyes at the sudden intrusion of light spilling into the room. I sit up and stretch and let my eyes adjust to the light. The clock says that it is already eleven thirty. That means I have slept most of the day. Pepper is finally awake in my head and wants our mates, I can't help but agree with her. Sliding out of the bed I go to the walk-in to find something to wear. We were going to move my things last night, but we were all just too exhausted by the time we got all of the kids to sleep. Then Nick and I took turns getting up with her to help with the babies. Down the stairs I hear Izzy, Nick and Caterina talking. They all stop when I walk into the family room. Izzy smiles brightly at me and so does everyone else. The smiles are c

  • Rejected Abused Escaped   Chapter Thirty Six

    Izzy’s POV Blairs room was done in pinks and purples, you know the typical little girls room. Butterflies were covering the walls. Stepping into her room I turn on the light, and touch her shoulder. “Blair hunny it is time to get up for school. I am going to go wake up Rosie and I will be back to help you get dressed. Grandma is fixing breakfast.” I say. She sits up, yawning big, and rubbing her eyes. “Okay mommy.” She says. Rosie’s room is done in similar colors, but instead of butterflies she has unicorns all over her room. Her comforter is a shade of magenta. I sit on the side of her bed. “Rosie Sweety, It is time for school. You have to get up and get dressed so that you have time to eat, and brush your teeth.” I say while brushing her hair out of her face. She sits up looking confused. “Zaden will be here to see you when you get home from school. Do you know what you want to wear today?” I ask her. “Can I wear a Black dress with roses on it? I want to wear my sparkl

    Izzy’s POV None of us got much sleep last night. I see Sunday’s eyes every time I close my own. I am scared for her. Looking at the clock to see the time. Five in the morning, Sunny and Nick finally fell asleep. I feel for the link to Caterina I need to speak with her. It opens with not much force. ‘Caterina can I speak with you in my office? It is almost time for me to feed the girls and get Rosie and Blair up for school.’ I told her. ‘Do you want my help getting them ready?’ she asks. ‘Yes, that would be great. Meet me in the nursery to help grab the babies, we will go talk and then get started for the day.’ I replied. ‘See you in a few.’ She cuts the link. I try to slide out of the bed without waking either of my mates. Sunny stirs after I stand up. I place a kiss on her forehead, and tell her to go back to sleep. “I am going to feed the babies and get the older girls ready for school. Go back to sleep, I'll be back up in a bit.” I say. She hums at me and I can hear he

    Zaden’s POV The office sways around me. The dark amber liquid in my glass is the only thing that dulls the constant ache from Rachel. I flop down in the chair behind the desk. We may not have been fated, but we were chosen. I trusted her, and she betrayed me. Tried to have me killed, tried to have Izzy killed. She kidnapped an innocent child and acted like she was in danger to get me here. I understand why Nick and Izzy had to make sure she was dead. If I were in their shoes and it had been Rosie that had gotten napped, then best believe I would have killed Rachel myself. My wolf Able wanted us to wait for our fated mate. Being rouge I was convinced we would never find her. Rachel and I had been friends for a long time. She was the person I told everything to. She is the person who was there when my mother passed away having Rosie. Rosie, the sister that I couldn't care for right now. I was struggling to care for myself and my new pack.
