Rouge Mate

- "P-Please! Have mercy!!" Alpha of the Stone River pleaded. He knew that he wouldn't be shown mercy but his mate and children were watching, all pale from the gruesome battle that had just happened. "There was no mercy for my family. So there shall be none for yours" A smirk. A cunning devious smirk was his last sight before Death struck her claws deep into his flesh. The howl of his mate fell over the empty house. "You should be happy" Death smirked turning towards her and her three kids. "Why would I be happy?!" she falls to the ground crying, trying to reach for her mate's lifeless body. BANG! Death struck a freshly laced wolfbane bullet in her stomach. She groaned in pain but eventually her body fell limp. The kids cowered away too afraid to make a sound. Death turned to them silently. "Someone will be here to take you to my house soon pups" Her voice sounded more soothing, more welcoming than it did before. The pups still cowered away as Death left the house, her footsteps echoing around the silence. Her car waited patiently outside with her driver Michael. "Leader" he nodded her way before opening the door. She smiled happily and slid inside. Death I looked out the window at the old pack house of the Stone River pack. A bunch of wimps if you ask me. They beat unmated women, forcing them to pleaser their warriors. I did those kids a favour. "Lost in your own thought Leader?" Michael chuckles to himself. "Really Michael? To laugh at your Leader?" I say sarcastically. I've never been big on formality, to me my followers are just as important as I am. They feel the need to call me something thou so they call me Leader. I'm sure many would prefer to call me alpha as I am of alpha blood but it just wouldn't fit right. We aren't a pack and I don't wish us to be one. It's better this way. There's not as many rules here. But the rules in place are simple, if not followed it will result in death. At the hand of me or another. Rule One: Never enter a packs territory without good reason or permission Rule Two: Never kill a child, bring orphaned children straight to me Rule Three: Never betray me Simple right? Only three instead of...god knows how many laws and rules there are. "We're home Leader" Michael smiles at me through the open door. "You staying for the run tonight?" I question as I dust myself off outside the car. "Who would miss our Full Moon run?" I smile at him and swing the front door open. Open to my followers and the sweet sweet smell of dinner being cooked. The Full Moon run has been a tradition since I started gaining followers. All of my followers gather at the 'crash' house, aka my house, for a feast then a massive run that lasts hours. The feast starts being prepared the second everyone wakes up. Every wolf that can helps, aged 5-50. The whole house smells amazing, pork, beef, deer, you name it and they're probably cooking it. Then we run when the Full Moon calls us. We weave in and out of pack territory's. Sometimes we push our limits, us rouges do love violence. Last time it was Blood Red pack that hosted our fighting arena. So this time it'll be New Oaks. Nate I wake up to the smell of cheap alcohol and squares. Next to me is...Julia? No.. Leah? Ugh does it matter? I won't see them again. So whatever her name is stinks of cheap perfume. My wolf, Ryder, whines in the back of my head. He learnt to deal with my player ways but it's been a year since I turned 18 and everyday we don't wake up next to mate he wants her even more. 'Like are you sure your not gay?' he whines to me. 'You would know if I was gay Ryder' I try and be nice to him, I want to meet mate too but when I'm older. I'm only 19 I don't wanna be tied down just yet. 'Nate come downstairs now ' I roll my eyes at my fathers message. He always does this to scold me about waiting for my mate, or some bullshit like that. Whatever her name is, is still asleep so I creep out of bed and into the shower. The warm water hits my skin as I rest my head on the wall. Showers are my thinking time mainly I think about having a mate. Waking up everyday to the same faces, knowing that they were mine and they wouldn't go anywhere. I try and picture what she would look like. I've always liked the idea of black hair and blue eyes. I've never really liked blond girls for some reason. But I would never reject them if they had blond hair. My father told me that being rejected was like having your heart ripped out of you. You don't feel it at first, but once your mate leaves your eye sight you just fall to the ground. They don't feel it because they were the one that wanted it. But every time they have s*x with another it's the same pain all over again. Sometimes mates are so harsh they mark another. This pain is apparently unbearable it lasts hours and has driven most people to suicide. I would never do that to someone. Father said when mother died he felt her physical pain till she died but emotionally he never felt a worse pain. When I find my mate I swear on the Goddess herself I will stop my ways. She's out there somewhere, my soul mate. I don't know what she looks like, what pack she belongs to but all I know is I will love her just like my father did my mother. I still remember her death, everyone does... *Flashback- two years ago* "Sweetheart don't run so fast!" my mother chuckled as me and Ryder ran faster and faster. "Hurry up mom!" I scream behind me. I pause for a second allowing her to catch up. "You little cheek! I'm not as young as I once was" She pinched my cheeks and brought me in for a hug. "Sorry mama" I fall into her embrace and smile happily to myself. "It's ok hijo, just remember next time ok?" I nod happily letting go of the hug. We were too busy to notice the rouge pack had snuck into our territory and surrounded us. They were becoming a problem with more people following their leader. No-one knows who he is unless your dead or in his followers. We stopped laughing as a powerful growl erupts into the silence of the forest. "Mom..." I look at her worriedly and she returns the look. The rouges stepped forward slowly, snapping snarling and growling at us. "Mom!" I say even louder with more worry in my voice. "It's ok hijo" she smiles at me as a large black wolf appears in front of us. The wolf towards over us even on all fours. He looks between me and my mom, his blue eyes practically glowing in the night. I'll never forget those eyes. They pierced through our souls. My mom put her arm in front of me protectively and the black wolf tilted his head almost looking sad but it's quickly filled with rage. "You can blame your mate for this!" h-he said?! It's werewolf 101 that a wolf can only speak through mind link when shifted. And blame my dad? What for? He shakes his massive head and howls, the rouges follow the howl and run for me and my mom. She pushes me away and whispers "Te amo Hijo" before being scratched and attacked till my pack comes. I fall beside her, even at 17 my eyes watered and tears streamed down my face. My father started screaming for me and my mom, but when he found us he broke down. *Flashback- Over* Those eyes still haunt my nightmares. I turned the shower off and wipe a tear away that escaped my eye. The steam fogged up the mirror, just as well. I hate looking at myself because I have my mom's eyes. They're beautiful, a light shade of green that sparkle in the sun. I sigh and run my hand through my brown curly hair. 'Stop procrastinating and get downstairs' growled Ryder. I roll my eyes and get dressed. I rush down the pack house stairs and into the kitchen. I grab some toast from the table much to the dislike of the main cook Mary-Ann. "Oh you devil child!" She slaps the back of my head as I attempt to dodge. "You love me Mary-Ann" I shoot her a wink before her mate enters and growls viciously to me. Mary-Ann rolls her eyes at him as I give an awkward laugh. "Chill James, she's like four years older than me" I exaggerated and Mary-Ann gives me a look that would kill. I rush out shouting bye behind me and find myself at my fathers door before I knew it. "Come in" he grunts before I even knock. I walk in to the dimly lit room to see my father looking at my mother's portrait like always. "Father, you called for me" I shut the door as quietly as I could and walked so I stood just a few feet behind him. "I assume your new w***e has left" his eyes don't leave my mother's portrait, but he doesn't sound disappointed or surprised like always. I shrug my shoulders, he sighs and mutters Typical. He finally faces me after an uncomfortable silence. "Now the reason I called you here, you remember the New Oaks pack" He gestures for me to be seated after he is. "Yes Father" I replied as one of his eyebrows is raised. "Yes well until you stop with these whores you will stay there" My eyes widened. He said it so calmly like shipping off his only family is normal! "Excuse me Alpha?" Mary-Ann sticks her head around the door just in time. "Yes Mary?" my father acted as thou he didn't tell me he was about to ship me off. "There's someone in the kitchen demanding me to feed her" I rubbed the back of my neck knowing I would have to fix this. "Yeah I'm on it" I wave goodbye to my dad and wink to Mary-Ann before heading to the kitchen. "I DEMAND SOME RESPECT!" Great her voice hurts my ears. Introducing Chloe Perks, we f****d more than once so she thinks she special. I prepare myself as I step into the kitchen. "BABY!!" She flips around her fawn curls almost hitting another cook, Laura, in the face. "Tell this kitchen wench to cook me what I asked Baby!" She pointed to Laura in disgust with her stupid bright pink nails. "Laura you can leave for a second" I scratched my temple trying not to laugh at the face Laura made before running out of the kitchen. Chloe taps her nails on the table trying to push her t**s up with her other arm. "What are you doing here Chloe?" She stops tapping and walks around to me. "You haven't call me in ages, I was worried" Oh yeah we haven't had s*x in two months, I haven't called her in two months, I haven't contacted her or even tried to. She became boring after a while. "Listen Chloe I-..I'm going to the New Oaks pack and I don't know when I'll be back" Her faces drops to a frown. She let's go of my arm which she was previously attached to. 'I thought we weren't going' Ryder snapped at me. 'Neither did I' I snarl at him. Chloe snapped her fingers in front of my face. She pouted and started listing reason I should go. "We'll be too far away" and "What will you do without me?". Her voice was an ache to my ears. "Enough Chloe, go home" I snap at her, pure fear washes over her eyes before she straightens up. "Just admit that you need me" she flicked her hair at me as she walked away. "I'll wait for you to get back baby" And with that she left. Laura and Mary-Ann edge their way into the kitchen with disinfectant and air freshener. "Quick Laura before the disease spreads!" Mary-Ann barks at Laura who runs to the cleaning supplies. "There isn't much time Mary-Ann!" Laura screams bleaching the sides. James enters the kitchen to be shooed out by Mary-Ann. "I aint sleeping in the same bed as you if you take one more step into this kitchen!" She stops for a second to say before instantly running back to cleaning the kitchen. James stares at me before sighing impatiently. "Let me guess.. Chloe?" I nod embarrassed as he let's rip a laugh so loud Asia probably heard it. Mary-Ann did not look impressed at us both when I joined in the laugh. "You boys laugh now but you just watch!" She slaps James around the back of the head. "There was a walking STD in my kitchen so if you two don't help ya'll can cook your own food" James whines trying to run after Mary-Ann before she wacks him with a broom. Laura falls to the ground holding her stomach screaming with laughter. I start howling too when Mary-Ann stuffs cleaning supplies in his arms. "Now scrub my kitchen till it sparkles if you don't want to be sleeping in the woods!" She strutted towards the counter and finished bleaching it. - I finished packing and headed downstairs to say goodbye to everyone. My dad, Mary-Ann, Laura, James and some of my friends were waiting in the living room. "Hey guys" I waved as I put my final bag down with the others. Mary-Ann walks over to me and pulls me in for a hug. "I'm going to miss you devil child" She starts to tear up and basically runs back to James. "I'll miss you too Mary-Ann" I smirk and rub the back of my neck. "Looks like we won't have to make as much food Mary-Ann" Laura laughs nervously trying to lighten the mood. I pull her in for a hug and hear her muffled tears. She let's me go and walks over to cradle Mary-Ann. My future Beta and future Delta, Kieran and Leo, walk over and smirk. "Think about all the new girls bro" Kieran whispered putting his arm over my shoulder. Leo winks at me and punched my arm playfully. "Wonder if they're just as hot as the girls we saw in Malibu" Leo smirks remembering the girls. Kieran laughs before we hear a disapproving tut. We turn around to see Kieran and Leo's moms, Daniella and Claris, with their arms crossed furiously. "You boys are too alike!" Claris comes up and pulls on Leo's ear. Kieran howls with laughter before his mom slaps him round the back of the head.The room roars with laughter at the boys faces in no time. "Mom!!" Kieran complains as Daniella straightens his hair. "Well as the future beta your going with Nate to the New Oaks pack" Daniella smirks as Kieran's jaw drops to the floor. "You too Leo!" Claris says seeing her son's trying to sneak away. "Maybe they'll find their mates and stop being man w***e" Claris laughs to Daniella's comments and even my father chuckles. I inhale sharply preparing myself for my father's few words. He walks up to me and puts his hand on my shoulder. "I'll miss you son, make me proud" He smiled at me before walking back to his office. James smiled at me. "Your father's a great alpha, but he is a man of few word" Everyone nervously laughed and the atmosphere became very awkward. "We uh- better get going" Kieran says releasing himself from his mother's iron grasp. We say our goodbyes and head to the car. "Not trying to be soft but I'm gonna miss Mary-Ann's cooking" Leo leans back in the back, basically lying down. "I think we all are Leo. If they have a better cook I'm deeming myself dead" Kieran laughs trying to get comfortable in my new Porsche. "Love the new car dude but I wish we could've taken the Ferrari, it's comfortable, this is not" Kieran frowns trying to fit his leg on the seat. "This is a brand new car i***t! Put your foot down" I push his foot down. He rolls his eyes as everyone prepares for the next few hours till we reach the territory.
