The Rogue Luna

Chapter 3

I drove as close as I could to the outcropping we found before pulling over and parking in the woods as far as my jeep compass could go. It was still light out and well. I wanted to run. I buried my keys in a bag near one of my car tires before dropping my clothes and shifting letting Ismene free.

“Wanna help me find Charlie?” I asked Ismene

“Of course.” She grinned, taking over leaving me to watch as she ran. It left me to think about the day. It's hard to believe it all happened in a day. We ran for what only felt like minutes, but she pushed me forward when we came across a camp. It smelled of rogues, but it also smelled of my mate. I was careful to walk up to the makeshift border to make sure they knew I meant no harm and to make sure that my mate could smell me coming as well. When I was about 30 feet from the camp, my mate ran out of a tent with a man and women behind her. I couldn’t help the bit of jealousy that ran through me.

“Rae?” She asked. I nodded my wolf head as she sniffed the air. A look of realization crossed her face as she realized that I was no longer in a pack. She ran back inside and came out with a large t-shirt. She walked out to me where I stood about 10 feet from the line in the ground. Turning back around I shifted before pulling the shirt on. It went down to my thighs and smelled of my mate. It brought me a lot of comfort as I was scared of what's to come. 

“Hi.” I smiled softly at her.

“Who are you?” A guy asked me as he came out of a tent closer to the front. Looking at the camp it was a tight knit community. The tents were in a C type formation. A fire in the middle and trees, barbed wire and fencing around the outside except where I came in. It was open, but a clear line was made in the ground signifying that this was a community and not to cross. It seemed safe and that made me happy, but it also made me realize why my mate was as skinny as she was.

“My name is Rae Stevanson. I mean no harm.” I said my hands up.

“She's my mate.” Charlie said, grabbing my hand.

“Why are you here?” He asked

“I- I refused to reject my mate,” I looked over at Charlie who looks like she was about to cry. “So my father threw me out of the pack.”

“Thats why your name sounded familiar.” He mused. “Why would he throw you out?” He asked. 

“I’m not sure to be honest. He mentioned wanting a strong family and that “Women are statistically weaker” . I mocked my father. “He wanted me to be mated with another alpha. I think that he wanted that so we could merge our packs and become a bigger pack.” I explained.

“How do I know you want to hurt us?” He asked.

“You don’t. I mean I have everything I could grab in my car a few miles away, I think I would start smelling more like a rogue here in a few-”

“I trust her.” Charlie spoke up. 

“Your car will stay where its at until we can send someone to look at it.” I nodded in agreement. 

“The keys are in a plastic bag near the back passenger side tire.” I mentioned. He nodded.

“Till then you are to stay here under constant watch. You may stay with your mate.” He said. I nodded my head in respect. 

“Common, I wanna show you my tent.” Charlie said pulling me to a tent besides the guy that just spoke to me. Walking in it was small. A simple cot sat in the corner. Some pillows and clothes sat in the other. A lamp hung from the center. 

“Its not much but its home.” She said. I smiled at her tears springing to my eyes. “No, please don’t cry,'' she said. Her hands were holding either side of my face, but without warning I broke down. Sobs racking my body. She was quick to pull me into a hug. I suddenly realized I’m homeless now. My own family disowned me. I’m a stranger to everyone around me. And while I’m overjoyed to have my mate now, I don’t know her.

“Its okay, its gonna be okay.” She sooth as she lowered us to the ground, pulling as much as she could of me onto her lap. After a minute or two I had calmed down and I was just breathing in the scent of my mate.

“Whats your favorite color?” She asked me suddenly. I looked up at her and realized how much bigger I was than her. I wanted to crawl out and be beside her but I couldn’t do it as I was the most comfortable I had ever been in my life.

“Purple.” I smiled. “Yours?” I asked.

“Yellow.” She smiled back to me.

“Like the sun.” I smiled wildly at her. Her smile was so radiant and so happy. It did remind me of the sun.

“Because of sunflowers.” She said tucking some hair behind her ear. I finally sat up and schootched out of her lap, but reminded beside her touching her.

“Thank you.” I said sincerely to her.

“Of course. I imagine you're going through a lot right now.”

“You don’t have to tell me, but why are you here?” I asked. “Whats your story?”

“Um. Well my parents kicked me out when I came out as bi when I was 16. When I got my wolf I had the awakening and I started asking questions and I asked too many and they kicked me out.” She said rubbing her arm awkwardly.

“I’m so sorry.” I said rubbing her other arm. I was so close to her now. I could kiss her. I saw her eyes dart to my lips before meeting my eyes again.

“Can I kiss you?” I asked. 

“Yes.” She breathes before leaning forward and enveloping her lips with mine. I moved and pulled her onto my lap where her legs wrapped around me. She nibbled my lip causing me to moan allowing her to deepen the kiss. I could feel myself getting more turned on, but I didn’t wanna quit yet.I had only kissed a few guys and it was never this deep. Never this hot. And I never felt myself feeling like this. 

“Kiss her jaw and down her neck.” Ismene told me. I pulled away and softly kissed her jaw and made my way down her neck. 

“Softly suck and nibble at different spots.” She told me. So I did. When I sucked at the spot where her neck and shoulders met she let out a loud moan. She pulled my face away and kissed me again. I was sure she could smell how turned on I was. Sniffing the air slightly I could smell how effected she was as well. 

“Mark her.” Ismene demands me to try to push forward. I had to push Charlie away for a second as I took deep breaths to calm Ismene.

“I’m sorry-I” Looking up her eyes were flickering from gold to her brown honey eyes.

“Its okay. I’m struggling too.” She said. I pulled her forward and left a gentle kiss on her lips before pulling away. 

“Should we lay down?” I asked. She nodded and got onto the cot. The cot was small, but I was sure we could both fit. I laid down beside her facing her.

“You are the most beautiful person I have ever met.” I lovely said. She blushed and hid her face in my chest. I laughed and kissed the top of her head. It got chilly quickly, but as wolfs we'll be able to keep warm and with her beside me. I could think of a couple ways to keep warm if we needed to. She turned away and put her back towards me so I was the big spoon. And I loved every second of it. Within a few minutes I fell asleep and had one of the best sleeps of my life despite being on a cot.
