Rogues

15

Nilsa woke up to the soft touch of a man's hand on her cheeks, she opened her eyes and found Zedek seated close to her. Not only was she worried about how she got in but she wondered why he was there after he said those harsh words to her.

"What are you doing her?, I thought you said that you don't want me" She pulled away from him and he felt hurt by that.

His gaze on her was warm and lovely,

"I am sorry" he apologized. He felt so bad that he had hurt her making her want to stay away from him.

"Okay, so what are you doing here?" An apology wasn't what she wanted, she needed something more from him and waited if he would say it.

"I couldn't help myself, I had to see you" he answered but her face still held seriousness and malice on it. A part of him told him to save himself the trouble and leave but his body was hesitant to do that.

"Why?" She asked covering herself the more, the fabric of her cloth was so thin that he could see through it.

"I want you" He confessed realizing what she actually wanted, last night he treated her like trash hurting her, she must need some sort of consolation for that. Once he said that, he could see her body slowly relaxing, a smile creeped on her face and she let her guard down.

"How did you even get in?" The door was sealed shut to prevent her from getting harmed, how on earth did he actually get in, she thought.

He pointed at the open window and she laughed, it was heart warming to know that he snuck into the house just to see her.

"Are you hungry, I can make breakfast for you" She said walking past the mirror, her reflection shocked that she had to check again it was really her, her hair looked like it was electrocuted as it stood up, her eyes were swollen and puffy from crying.

"Cover your eyes" she screamed at him startling him.

"Why?" He asked doing as she said, he didn't understand why she needed him to close his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me I look like a total mess?" She shrieked at fact that he had seen her like that, to Nilsa she had to look perfect just for him because each time she saw him, he was always neat and handsome as if he never had a bad hair day.

"Seriously" he abruptly opened his eyes and could see her combing her hair down, he smiled at her little cute act to look amazing for him.

"Do you know that you snore?" He added making her more shy.

Nilsa's jaw dropped and she turned to him, she giggled oddly looking back at him.

"Did you hear that?" She questioned, embarrassed at herself.

Being caught in the act, Nilsa had no choice but to change the topic.

"Why don't I make breakfast, you can feel at home" she ran out of his presence.

"Home" Zedek murmured, he once had a home but now he had none, he slowly stood up and admired the pictures on the wall, little Nilsa sat on her mother's lap while her father stood behind them in the picture frame. She was so cute and beautiful that he wondered if she would stay like that forever.

A paper sticker was on the picture frame with a date marked on it,

"18 Feb"

The smell of burning food caught his attention and he ran to the kitchen scared that she might be in danger, what he saw marveled him more, the toast she made was burnt and smoke was everywhere.

"What are you doing?" He asked, Nilsa was coughing and trying to clear out the air, he quickly opened the window and the smoke got out slowly.

"Sorry, I was trying to make breakfast" She coughed more almost choking by her words, "Not again" she threw another burnt toast to the tray and sighed.

"Make breakfast or burn down your house, do you even cook?" He picked her up and placed her on the counter table behind him, he began making breakfast and Nilsa struggled to see what he was doing.

"Seat still or you might fall" he reprimanded and she hastily sat upright without moving anymore, with a little time she was already accessing his body. His actions were swift and steady.

"He can cook, he is fine as hell, he has a great body, I want him all to myself and not to talk of that ass, that's a damn good ass" Nilsa murmured pervertedly as she studied his body.

"You realize that I can hear every word you say" he said, thanks to werewolf abilities he could clearly hear her admiring him.

Nilsa blushed from being caught red handed again, she sealed her lips shut to prevent her from uttering more nonsense.

"Breakfast is served" he placed a perfectly nice plate of toast on the table and helped her down to her seat.

Nilsa took the first bite,

"This is so good" she complimented scrunching more of it than she could eat.

"Slow down" he pushed a glass of water to her and she smiled.

"So after this what else do you want to do?" Nilsa seeked for a chance to get to know him more, she wanted him to stay back so that they could have a little chat and introduced themselves more.

"I would go back" he blurted, he could see her mood dampened just by his words, the walls he had kept around himself to stop him from getting hurt was the reason why he didn't notice that she wanted to spend more time with him.

"When will you be back?" She sounded sad and unhappy that he would be leaving,

"Soon"

"How am I sure that I can trust your words, you might leave and never come back" She said out of experience, the people she loved the most had left her, she was unsure that he might change his mind and not come back to see her making her wait for him, waiting wasn't something she loved doing because it made her desperate and depressed.

"You can come with me if you want?" He suggested and she agreed, Zedek waited for her to take a shower and then they left. Nilsa couldn't stop asking him so many questions until they got to what looked like an abandoned pack.

"Where is this?" She asked looking around, it had so many houses but no one was living in them, what caught her attention more was the big house at the far end of the pack, it was utterly different from the rest because it had been painted and looked like a resident lived there.

"My land, it was given to me as a bargain a long time ago" he answered, Zedek had been staying there after he was rejected by Bella, he couldn't go back to the rogues because he saw himself unfit to lead them after he had abandoned them for her and killed his second in command.

He took her into the house and she was astonished by how big it was in the inside.

"This is heaven" she exclaimed spinning around.

"You might trip and fall" he warned, the noise of people talking caught their attention and they went outside.

Standing before them was all the rogues that had ever fought with Zedek, a man steeped forward in front of them and went on his knees.

"Alpha Zedek" Leo called surprising him.

"We have decided to follow you wherever you go, please have mercy on us Alpha"

The rest joined him going down on their knees.

"Alpha" Zedek thought, why would they call him Alpha when all he did was lead them to war and later abandoned them.

"I cannot be your Alpha" he answered them, leading a pack was a lot for him, right now he wanted to settle down and be with his mate.

"We are not leaving Alpha until you accept us" Leo spoke out again,

Nilsa looked up to him in encouragement, she was already seeing an Alpha potential in him, she winked at him signifying that she was okay with his decision.

"Arise, I accept your offer" Zedek informed.

An uproar was heard, they all got excited by the changes in their lives and created a bun fire party to celebrate the new pack created and their Alpha.
