Isabelle P.O.V

3 days later

I woke up at 6 am on the dot and head to the omega bathroom to take a short 5 minute shower. Today is the day that we are having visitors. I head down to the kitchen to make breakfast.  My birthday is tomorrow, so I am really happy about that. The only thing that I am not ready for is to leave. It's ironic actually. I have to leave when I am 18. Its scheduled for me to leave. I make a big breakfast and take it out to the table. It takes me about an hour and a half. Looks like I'm on time.. I see people coming out of their rooms and heading to the kitchen. My Alpha comes down the stairs, with some blonde hanging off of his arm. She is rambling on and on about something, and he looks like he couldn't care about anything she is saying. He takes his seat at the head of the table and the blonde sits beside him, along with his Beta and Third in Command. The Beta isn't mean to me, but he doesn't talk to me. He is one of the very, very, very, very, very few people who says thank you.

I take my leave and head up the stairs to clean the Alpha's floor. I clean all of the rooms but his office and his bedroom. I can't go into either without his permission.

Walking back down the stairs, I pass the Beta and he gives me a slight nod. I lower my gaze and bend my neck in submission. He walks past me into the alpha's office with the third in command. I continue my descent down the stairs and come face to face with my Alpha when I get to the bottom. I lower my head until my chin touches my chest, and move to the side.

"My office, now." he commands. "Yes, Alpha." I follow behind him up the stairs and to his office. As soon as I step foot inside, he tells me to clean. I dust his desk, tables, and bookshelves. I organize his papers and arrange his desk the way he told me to.

Most Alphas wouldn't want anyone to be on or near their desk. I guess he doesn't care.

When I finished cleaning his office, I ask to take my leave and he lets me go. "Mutt." he calls. My jaw ticks and I slowly turn to face him.

"Yes, Alpha?"

"Make something for he visiting Alpha and his warriors that are coming with him. When you finish, you are to be cleaning the living area, and report back to me when they get here. Understand?"

It's an Alpha's command. My Alpha. "Yes, Alpha." I answer.

"Your dismissed."

I take my leave and make my way to the kitchen. Its 11 now, the visiting Alpha should be here around 12. So I have an hour to get done.

I make some drinks and a slight snack for them and head to the living area.  I clean and clean, scrubbing the floors until I was sure I was going to reach another layer. The knocking on the door caught my attention and I mind linked my Alpha.

"Alpha, the visitors are here."

"Don't f**k up, send them to my office." he replies back and I move to answer the door.

When I open the door I come face to face with a handsome man, who I think is the Alpha, his beta, and  6 other men who I think are warriors.

"Welcome to Black Moon territory. My Alpha is waiting for you in his office." I say in a small voice, but loud enough to be heard. I step to the side and wait for them all to come in. They slowly walk in and I close the door. I lead them to my Alpha's office and knock. "Come in." I hear him say in his Alpha voice.

"Alpha."i say when I walk in. I stand to the side, waiting to be dismissed to go and get them anything.

He waves me off and asks them if they would like a drink. Some reply with yes and some reply no.  I head to the kitchen to get what I prepared and got the drinks. It takes me a minute to get back up the stairs but I make it.  I knock on the door and walk push the door open. I put the drinks and the food on the table and dismiss myself.

I walk out of the Alpha's office and head up to the attic to take a break. I have been on my feet all day.

Earlier I thought I was ready for my birthday, but in reality I'm not. I don't want to be a rogue. 

A tear slips from my eye and I wipe it just as fast as it came. The rest of the day consisted of me cooking and cleaning , like always. I got to eat today at lunch though. It was enough to get me full. I couldn't stomach anything else.

I fall asleep dreading tomorrow. Moon Goddess, you love me.. please help me.

*

I awoke earlier than usual. I need to pack me some food. I know that I don't have a heart to kill. Its 4 o'clock now.. so I think I can make it to the edge of the border and back within 30 minutes in wolf form. I get a duffle bag and put the clothes that I own into the bag, with some shampoo and conditioner, along with some money I have saved up over the years. I grab some food that doesn't need refrigeration and put it the bag as well. I slowly and quietly made my way down the stairs and out the back door. I take off my clothes behind a tree, and hide it there. I shift into my wolf form and with the duffle bag in my mouth I make my way to the border.

I shift back into my human form and try to find a way to hide the bag, without border patrol finding it.

Speaking of, where are they? I could be a rogue and they would never know.

I finally find somewhere to hide it and shift back to my wolf form to make my way back to the pack house.

I get dressed and silently make my way up the stairs and back into my room. Since I'm going to be a rogue I might as well get all the sleep I can get now.

I toss and turn but I am not able to go to sleep. So I decide to get up.

Should I make breakfast for them or no? Doing the things that they do to me, makes me like them, so I decide against myself and make them breakfast anyway.

I set the table, and add chairs for the visitors who decided to stay yesterday. I put the food out, along with drinks and forks and spoons. I might as well make sure I have everything. But first.. I'm going to eat.

I half run and walk to the kitchen to see all of what I can eat. I see some fruit and some pancakes leftover and I stuff my face full of it. I'm leaving a satisfied wolf.

I was washing the dishes that I used earlier when a scent drifted up my nose.

No. No. No. No. No. No.

I continue washing the dishes, faster now, not paying any mind to the scent. Putting the dishes up, I move back and forth, never turning around to face him.

Fuck.

An arm touches my shoulder, and electricity shoots up my arm. I jerked away, and look to the floor. "R-reject me, and l-let me go.. Please." I stutter out when he reaches for me. I don't see his face but I am sure that it has a frown on it. I take my risks looking up and immediately regret it.

His name is Paul.. He was always one of the ones saying thank you. But he's 20.. he has known that I was his mate for 2 years.

That makes a sob come out of me. "Don't cry, please." he says moving to touch me again. I move over so that  he can't touch me.

"I..I-I don't want to be without a pack.."

I look up at him with shock. He would choose his pack over me. That's a f*****g shame. f**k him. I shake my head and run up the stairs.

He follows behind me and closes the door to my room. I sit in the corner with my legs pulled to my chest and my head resting on them.

He comes and stands before me. I let the tears slip  from my eyes, freely down my face. "Isabelle.." he speaks slowly. I can't help the shudder that runs up my spine. "I don't want to reject you.. but I don't want to be without a pack either. I hope you can understand."

I look up at him with disgust. You asshole.  That's so f*****g selfish.

"I, Paul Thomas, reject you Isabelle Mason, as my mate." I grip at my chest and cry out. He looks at me with what I think is regret before it is covered up, and he turns a briskly walks  to the door. Before he leaves out he turns to me. "I'm sorry." he says before walking out of the attic and closing the door.

I sit there for I don't know how long. Trying to remember to breathe. trying to think about how im going to survive being a rogue.. "Come down stairs mutt, I have something to say to you." I hear my Alpha's voice through the mindlink. I get up on shaky legs and made my way down the stairs.

He sees me before I see him and walks up to me. He raises his hand and slaps me across the face. I don't make any noise, but I do stagger back from the force of it.

It's all numb. The rest of the pack members crowd around me and I fall to my knees. I cover my head just as the punches and kicks began. They punch and kick me but I don't feel any of it. They finally stop and my Alpha comes into view. I sit there bloodied and battered, waiting for his next words.

"I, Alpha Thomas Slate, declare you Isabelle Mason, a packless wolf. IF I see you on my land within the next 15 minutes, I will kill you." I don't even flinch. I nod my head and try to stand.

When I get to my feet, my eyes meets Paul's eyes. I stare at him for a  moment and then I drop my gaze and turn around. I take off into a sprint, out of the back door in the kitchen. I jump off of the porch and shift mid-air. I run to the south border, where I hid my things this morning.

I don't need this. I don't need him... I need Luna Elizabeth.

I shake my large wolf head to clear my thoughts.

Out here I'm on my own. I have to focus. I made my way to where my duffle bag is and take it into my mouth, not switching back into human form. That's a waste of energy.

Taking off into a fast sprint, I cross the border. I feel all my ties with this pack being officially broken.

My wolf whimpers in my head but otherwise stays quiet.

We only have each other now. If that's the way it has to be, it will be.

I know I can make it happen. One step at a time.

"Ellie, we will be okay." I tell my wolf. She nods her head and retreats to the back of my mind.

We will be okay.
