I don't know how I ended up in bed but I woke to my alarm ringing on my nightstand. The memory of the night before quickly flodded my mind. Almost shifting at Scarelt's and the incident at the diner. Meeting the guard from the blue moon pack and her driving me home was the last thing I remembered but I had no memory of getting home yet alone getting into bed. I rubb my eyes and notice a note on my nightstand. I'll see you later Rouge, Wayne asked me to keep a eye on you when I can so you'll be seeing a lot of me in the coming days. - Clarissa. The green ink was the same as the one from my window wipers but the writing was different but a blue rose was now laying on my nightstand and I was starting to wonder if they were from Wayne but why would he be leaving me roses I wondered. I yawned stretching, the wounds from a few days before had faded already but sometimes they felt like they were still on my chest and I grazed my hands across the skin that barely even felt different now still

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

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

“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

“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
