The rays of light seeps through my window, I groan, turning to the other side, not ready to wake up. But then, my alarm decided it's the right time to ring. Ugh! Just great.
Sighing. I reluctantly stood up from my bed. People wouldn't call this a bed. It's just a tattered foam mattress, but it's not like I have a choice. I went to my cupboard to pick up clothes to wear to school. Yes, I don't have money, I can't afford a tuition fee. I attend werewolf school, mainly the one from my pack. Their tuition fee is free, a rogue or not.
I don't own many clothes, so I settled down for a black tank top and washed jeans. Putting the said clothes aside, I went to the small adjoined bathroom to bathe.
Did my normal morning routine, wash my hair, body and brush my teeth. When I was done washing up, I took a towel from its hanger to dry myself. Coming out of the bathroom, on my way back to the room, I stopped by the mirror. I hate looking at myself, it reminds me how horrible my life is.
I look back at my reflection in the mirror. I hate what I see. My brown hair looks so out of place, the bags under my hazel eyes didn't go unnoticed. Not to forget, my bone wants to poke out of its place. I don't even have any thick flesh. Looking at my short lifeless body makes me wonder, ask myself a lot of what-ifs. Just what if…
Sigh. I wonder if my mate would want me when he sees how terrible I am. What if he rejects me?
'Calm down, Stacy. Don't go there yet, remember, be positive.'
My wolf, Star, said to me. Right, be positive, I told myself. I wonder what I would do without her, moving from one house to another, being on the streets at night. I'm so grateful to the moon goddess for giving me a mate like her, even when my life isn't the perfect one.
I became a rogue the moment I ran away from home. Everyone believes a rogue is someone who doesn't follow rules or does something unspeakable. No one will believe the other side of the story, a rouge is always a rogue. If a rogue tresspasses, the warriors of a pack kill them. Hence why I'm always on my best behaviour. I don't want to be treated like trash or get bullied so I avoided everyone, especially Alpha.
The alpha, I've been avoiding him like a thunderstorm, I don't want bad eyes at my angle, the ones I have are enough for me. With my jobs, I was able to save enough to put a roof under my head. I live in a human way, and also work there. That way, no one will know I'm a rogue. I can't live in the park, I need to avoid my parents at all costs. I do not think I'm ready for trouble.
My parents are family friends to the alpha and all. They also hold a high rank in the park. I wouldn't want to destroy what they have built. I'm not that wicked. So, I just decided to let peace reign.
I have a job though, one that gets me money for me to eat daily. I work as a waiter in a small diner. After school, I go there for my shift till close up.
Well, I hope today ends my suffering. I turned 18 today. At 18 a wolf gets to meet their mate. So today, I hope I get to meet mine and I wish he'll be good to me. So I'm looking forward to seeing him today, my mate.
I wore my clothes, took my backpack, keys and left the house. Not before locking it tho. I don't own anything good to steal, but it's better to be safe.
I walked down the road to the bus stop, when it stopped at my front. I got in. 15 minutes later, I got to school. I opened the front door, entering inside. "Good morning, Mrs. Adam." I greeted the front desk woman. Strange, she's the only one I talk and smile to in this school. She's nice.
"Stacy, morning. You seem happy today." She smiles.
"Yeah, it's my birthday." I told her, grinning my ears off. I moved closer to her and whispered the last part, "I'm gonna find my mate today."
She giggled, "good for you, kid. Strange to know you are not related to the Colin family."
I shrugged. This is a sore spot for me. I do not like talking about my family, they'd hurt me a lot of times. But what can I do? Once again, I'm helpless. "Strange to know I'm related to them." I grin.
She laughed, "have a great day kid."
She thinks I'm joking, I don't blame her. Anyone in her shoes will think the same thing. But what's bitter is that it's true. I sigh. Forming a smile on my face.
"You too, Mrs. Adam." I said, walking down the hallway to my locker. No matter how many times she says I should call her by her first name, for some strange reason. I can't.
I checked my schedule for the day when I got to my locker. I have math for the first period. Nice, I love math. Suitationship landed me in this and made me love calculating. How funny. I dropped all my unneeded books in my locker, taking my math and a novel. Putting them in my bag, a novel because I can't say for sure if class will be interesting. At least I won't be bored to death.
I jammed my locker and started walking down the hallway, going right and up the stairs to get to my math class. Then I smell him. I giggle like a 5 year-old kid who just got candy.
Decide to follow up the smell. And surprisingly it took me straight up to my math class. I stopped when I tracked down the smell, I smiled in victory. I raised my eyes to see who my beloved sweet handsome mate is. My eyes almost bulged out of their sockets when it landed on the last person I expected to see and the last person I would want to call my mate. It's him.
The Alpha.
Alpha? What the hell! Is my life destined to fail? Alpha? My, my, what's this happening to me? The alpha who sleeps with most of the girls, to make it worse, my worst enemy- Clara is the main. So what now? Does he know who his mate is? Pfft, what I'm saying, of course he does.As if sensing my presence, he turned his head to my side, I just wanted to see his face. Fuck! I'm a rogue, I need to get out of here. As he was turning, I was also turning. He faced me, I backed him. The next thing I know, my legs started operating on its own, and for once. I thank God.I don't know where I am going, I just want to get out of here bad, before he finds me. I know he'll still find me, I just need to get out of this building. I'm surely not ready to face him. He'll hate me, even if his wolf is against it. "Star, please don't complain," I begged my wolf silently. If anything at all, I need her support right now. "Let's get out of here."Once I was outside the school building, I released a breath I
Three years later..Standmoon pack. That's the name of the pack I have been in for the past three years. Since the day they forcefully brought me to their park I have been tied here. I tried on so many occasions to run away but I ended up getting double beating a day instead. And now, I have given up. Whatever way my destiny is, I'll go.For three years I was locked in a dark rusty cell, eating dry bread and drinking bland soup. For three years I get beaten everyday, torture. Out of those days, I never for once begged, I never pleaded for mercy. I'd rather die than do that. I won't give them the satisfaction they want. But one thing I regretted the most is running away. I wished I had a family who could look for me, I got nothing. I regretted running away from my mate. All because of my fears I ended up here. Hence why I decided to hide my fears from anyone.I lie down, panting my air on the cold floor, my body sore from punishment and multiple beating, my lip is dried and cracked. I
I am trembling seriously, my legs shaking like jelly fish. I'm exhausted. Surprisingly, after that day Mark did not order the guards to beat me. A week is gone and still no punishment, this is not right. Something is fishy.I close my eyes, a pair of brown orbs showing. I opened my eyes, I took a hard breath. Since I saw those eyes, I haven't forgotten about them. They're the most beautiful pair I have ever seen. I want to see them again, I need to see them. But how?I'm sure he'll reject me, the thought of that makes me sick. Who was I kidding? My mate is no ordinary man, he's a king. An Alpha king. The head of a park. What a deep shit! I clean the sweat on my forehead with my sleeve. I wonder what my future holds, I'm just 21. He already hates me, I saw it in his eyes, his cold gaze. He thinks I betrayed him. Only if he knows the truth, only if. He's going to reject me, he won't accept me. That isn't going well with me. But that's the harsh reality, every wolf fears this and mine
I dropped forcefully on his bed. He starts undressing, taking slow steps towards me. I coiled up on the other end of the bed. Tears streaming down my eyes. "It's nice...seeing you cry," he said in satisfaction. He enjoys what he's seeing. I need to think of something, anything. I scan the room, looking for any weapon or something I can use against him. My eyes landed on a fruit knife on a small table in the middle of his room. I smirk.I look up at him to see him already looking at me. Confusion laced in his face. I cleared my throat. "Let me go before you regret it, Mark. Now or never." He furrowed his brows. "I saw you crying a minute ago, where is this confidence coming from? Girl, I'm having you tonight." Anger laced in his voice. He starts to unbutton his shirt."Your choice," I gave him a creepy smile.To God, I am scared beyond imagination, I'm very scared to death. But I'll never show it. I have not hurt someone before...even an animal. But today, I'll hurt one.Slowly, ste
Jordan's Pov I hate this marriage, but what choice do I have? I just have to go through with it. It broke my heart completely when I saw my mate on another person's legs, kissing. I mean, I've been waiting for years for her, I disagree with any proposal to get married to another maiden. I felt disgusted with her, I mean..how could she? Like, I didn't get with another lady just because of her and she couldn't wait for three years? Scoff. I'm such a fool, I should have known. Last Friday, I had a meeting with the ministers. Yes, I'm the Alpha. But at times we need the consent of others. My parents and the ministers literally forced me into marriage, I was not happy with it a little bit. I've always wanted my mate. But seeing my mate in the arms of another man is not only devastating but heartbreaking. I mean...why does the moon goddess have to tie me with a cheat as a mate. Hell, I did nothing wrong. Sigh. I've not been myself ever since I saw her with another man, they say l
Stacy's PovStrange after so many years, I still remember the way to my pack. I'm so tired and dehydrated. But I can't relax, I can't risk it. I cross the border to my pack, I breathe a sigh of relief. I'm free, I'm so free, finally. I slid to the floor, crying my eyes out. Crying because I made it out alive, crying because I was not sexual assulted, crying because I'm happy I can finally be with my mate. I regretted that day a lot, the day I ran away. I shouldn't have. My biggest mistake. And now, I really hope he won't reject me and give me a chance to explain myself.After calming my nerves down, I stood up and started walking again. I still don't feel safe till I make it to the pack house. After a few minutes of walking, I saw the building not very far away. From where I am, I can hear the loud banging of music and lights flashing. What's going on? Seems there's a celebration. With the main house full of guests, I won't locate my mate fast enough. I sigh. What a great day today
Stacy's PovI was relieved. He didn't marry her. After he walked out, Mila fell to the floor and started crying. My- Her parents went to her side to comfort her. I smiled bitterly. God, I hate them. I am beyond ecstatic, I just feel the need to celebrate my victory.But I shouldn't get too excited, there's no chance that Jordan might accept me. I walked out of the room. But I didn't go outside the main door. Instead, I found myself in a hallway. Where the fuck is this?"Stacy?" A voice called. I stiff, who knows me? Oh, God. Please help me. Slowly, I turn around and I met with a guy. A guy. Who's he?"Sorry, who?" I asked as quietly as I can. "Oh," he said.He looks somewhat...hurt? I frown. "Oh?" I raise my eyebrow at him. He smiled, "Stacy, where have you been? I looked for you. I missed you." His voice gives away the sadness. He moved closer and wrapped his hand around me. He feels familiar. I moved back and look at his eyes, brown? My father's eyes colour… I opened my eyes wide
Jordan's PovI pace back and front in my office. I've should have called the security but I don't want anyone knowing about this till I know why the fuck she came back.It's been three hours, three hours since the ball, everyone left two hours ago, yet no sign of her. Where did fuck did she go now? Or has she left? I stopped, she didn't...right? I let out a nervous laugh, she wouldn't just leave after she appeared. So where the fuck is she? I groan, running my hand through my already messy hair. Jesus, Stacy, you'll be the end of me. The sun is still setting but no sign of her yet. I should probably give up. She left, she didn't want me. Hell, another heart break. I let out a painful laugh. "Can you at least stop pacing around if you won't tell us what the hell is wrong." Ana said. Yeah, both her and James won't leave me the fuck alone. The 'i wanna be alone' words seems hard for them to understand. I ignored her and continued pacing.Yeah, I should stop. I mean, she left me. I sh
