Storming out of the pack house, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. This had to be a joke, the moon goddess must have a sense of humor. Alphas don’t mate with rouges; I need a strong luna. I would not be stuck with a rouge for the rest of my life. I couldn’t even be near her without losing my temper. This had to be a mistake, but there was no mistaking the sparks that shot through my veins when I carried her to the infirmary. The want to run back to her was significant. Shaking my head, wasn’t an option. I would reject her the moment I knew I could go near her without losing control. Caseus growled in my head at the thought of what he knew was a absolutely a foolish decision. Let’s go for a run, clear our head Caseus. Stripping I shifted as fast as I could. Dashing towards the forest I knew a run would help me clear the thoughts overwhelming my brain. I ran for what seemed like forever before I stopped to catch my breath. I stood in front of my parents’ grave as pain and anguish filled my heart. Caseus whimpered at my pain. What do you want from me, I can’t be with her, it wouldn’t be right. It couldn’t work. I would hate her for existing in a world where they don’t.
How could I love someone when she is one of the most vile, untrustworthy, and hated parts of our kind. Rouges don’t know what loyalty is, they aren’t driven by their pack, and most of all they killed you. Looking to the ground where my parents were buried, I howl for the loss of them. The loss of myself and the pain left in my heart where their love used to be. Faintly I could hear Bryce in the back of my head attempting to link me, yet I could not hear him over my demons screaming at me in my mind. What was I going to do?
Running back to the pack house at a slower pace, delaying the inevitable conversation with my brother about how to handle our little interloper. I hadn’t told Bryce about my most recent discovery and knew he was going to side with Caseus. Walking into the packhouse I stopped in my room for a change of clothes, before walking down the hall to the command center. I needed to figure out why she was on our territory and what happened to her before we got there. Hatred for rouges aside, she was a woman, and someone had left her for dead and I want to know what she did to deserve it. I would find out one way or another, I just hoped I wasn’t going to have to be alone with her to figure it out.
