Annabelle pov
Chaos. That's all I can see from where I've been told to wait. My name is Annabelle Shaw, I'm 5ft with long curly brunette hair that falls to the small of my back, bright ocean blue eyes, a button nose and light pink slighly plump lips but the main thing about me is that I'm a rogue. I wasn't always, like most rogues I once had a family who loved me, a pack where I was safe and protected and an older brother who would always be there for me, well so I thought. All that changed the day my parents died.
Flashback
"Bella darling, don't wonder off too far without Miles" Rosia, Annabelles mother called to her. She was beautiful, long blonde hair, brown eyes that were almost gold. She stood proud at 5ft 6 and always held a relaxed but graceful posture.
"I won't mother I promise!" Annabelle called back knowing full well she would wonder to her faviourite part whether Miles her brother was with her or not.
The Shaw family would always come here when they could. It was a beautiful meadow in the back of the woods just inside the pack territory. It had the tallest trees she had ever laid her eyes on, full of flowers with so many colours it made rainbows look dull but her faviourite part was the lake. The water was as clear as glass, always looked as if it was sparkling under the sun light. Her father Marcus being the beta of the pack and her mother automatically being female beta because she was my father's mate were always busy with tonnes of duties. Annabelle never minded though, she understood the importance however it did get lonely. She didn't have any friends and no one seemed to be bothered about her existence except her family but she was content with just her family anyway.
"Bells get back here before I kick your b**t!" Miles teasingly threatened through our mind link. He would always joke around about kicking her b**t since he had shifted yet Annabelle still had a couple months till she would. She met her wolf on her fifteenth birthday though. It gives them time to bond and understand eachother, grow stronger as one before werewolves shift on their sixteenth birthday.
"Oh shush it I'm now coming stupid head" I replied, laughing at myself at the childish insult.
"BELLA RUN TO MILES! NOW!" Marcus screams to Annabelle, she looked at her father and saw something she had never seen in his eyes before. Fear. She turns around only to be greeted by 7 pairs of red eyes and deep growls aimed at her. Rogues. Annabelle did not run though, instead she froze. She couldn't breath, she couldn't move, she was screaming at her body to run but nothing happened. She saw them slowly start to stalk towards her but still nothing.
"Annabelle focus on my voice, you need to run to Miles and you need to do it now else we'll die" Lilth my wolf spoke ever so gently. Suddenly without realising her legs were moving and she was running towards Miles. Her parents were running towards her and she felt relief but it was only shirt lived. Her parents ran straight past her, causing her to stop and turn.
"Bella darling, go to Miles and run. Me and your father will not be joining you this time, I need you to be strong for me and run as fast as you can to the pack house. I love you darling but now I must go" Rosias voice came through the link. She sounded different, broken?
"Mother I don't underst...." Annabelle was about to argue when her father linked her.
"Bella baby I need you to do as your mother says. I've told the pack what is happening but it won't be enough time, I need you to run Miles and he will keep you safe. You're a strong girl and I need you to use that now okay? I love you princess"
Annabelle finally reached Miles with tears in her eyes still confused. He pushed his little sister behind him ready to shift but his eyes glazed over. He then let out a deafening roar before wiping away his tears, grabbing onto his sister's arm and running with her through the woods. Annabelle had no idea what was happening and why they left their parents behind. That's until she heard it, her father's howl. It sounded desperate and heartbroken. It was then she realised what her parents had done and what it had cost them.
End of flashback
Soon after my brother left, no note, no explanation, he just left. I only realised he had left because he crossed the pack border breaking his oath to the pack. I was crying for 2 days straight after that, losing a pack member is like losing a limb, losing a loved one is like losing a piece of your heart. Then came my sixteenth birthday, the day I would shift, however I didn't. I don't know why, I could still speak with Lilth but she told me it wasn't yet time. I wasn't safe to shift and that I would be in danger if I did. So the Alpha took this as the perfect excuse to kick me out of the pack, he didn't want me around after what happened to my parents. He blames me for it but so do I. That's how I ended up here, rogues found me and captured me. Some of them are full rogues now, some are in transition of becoming one but somehow I haven't changed the slightest. Besides being scared of the smallest of things and developed stuttering every time I speak which is embarrassing and completely irrating. I've been a rogue for nearly 2 years yet my wolf is still fully connected to me and our soul is still intact, atleast it feels that way. I'm still waiting for Aidan to come and get me from this stupid tree. Hes also a rogue except he was born rogue so he never turned feral, just more wild and temperamental. He's also somehow kept connected to his wolf. I must say i hate Aidan though, he keeps trying to claim me because rogues don't have mates, he believes that means he can claim whoever he wants but he is NOT having me. I'd rather die alone, he's so cruel and a sexist. He believes woman should just clean and produce pups. Hes far from ugly but his personality is the ugliest thing ive ever come across. Any way I'm getting bored and I've seen all the rogues drop in the field ahead, he wasn't in the fight that just took place so I know he isn't dead.
"Urgh I've had enough of this" I mumble to myself and begin to climb down but me being me, I manage to slip on a branch, ripping my clothes on the way down landing on my butt. I stand up and begin to brush myself off when I hear paws hitting the earth approaching me. I stop and sniff the air thinking it's Aidan and a couple of his brainless buddy's but my heart stops when I realise it isn't. That means it must be... no no no! I go to run knowing it's the pack that was just attacked but before I can move a foot I hear a low growl.
"Make one move and I'll rip out your throat rogue" that stopped me. I turn around very slowly to see a tall man, maybe 6ft 2, very big built, dirty blonde hair styled to look messy and surprisingly deep forest green eyes staring at me.
"P..please I don't mean no harm S....Sir" I just about manage to say out to him.
"No harm!? You filthy rogues just attacked our pack!!!" He yelled causing me to jump back. I don't know when but I seem to have backed myself up against the tree trembling. He sees my posture and for some reason he has what looks like concern in his eyes? Strange. "Why can I feel your wolf is still fully connected with you, have you just become a rogue?" He asks me genuinely interested.
"N...no Sir, I have b..been a rogue for ne..nearly two years. I..I don't know w..why she never disconnected f...from me but s..she stayed the whole t...time. P..please don't kill me" I finally managed to spit out, they must think I'm such a mess. His eyes glazed over meaning he is mind linking someone, probably their Alpha telling him he's going to kill me. We wait in silence for what seems like forever, each second I'm waiting for them to pounce and kill me but they never do.
