The Gift

Denial

..."Because they're mine! Now where is it?" I demanded pissed that they had lost an object that me and Carter have been collecting since we were 14. They are super rare and hard to find, especially the one that so happens to be missing!The person they belonged to shared them with me. I had it with me just yesterday. I was going to give them to my friend since we always switch who they're with after a month.

"Right here." Green eyes said, holding out his hand. It contained the magenta crystal rock that was missing. "I had a feeling you would know something about them. You were such a rock geek when we were younger so I specifically took one out in case there was some kind of pattern in the collection. Apparently that isn't the case." Excuse me?

"What is that supposed to mean?" I say standing up in my chair.

"Pretty obvious. My mate is a thief! And, all thieves are rouges. That easily tunes down the search!" This idiot. What is he thinking and why did he say that like it is normal???

They weren't stolen. I dropped them. Though I am not his mate, I would know. Right? I mean I don't turn 18 until next week so I'm not sure. Alpha blooded wolves aren't supposed to recognise our mates until we're 18 but can sense them at 16. We also shift at 16. Yes, I have a wolf. She is just always sleep. But I can definitely fight for myself if needed just as she can. We are basically the same person! Or wolf!

"If you say so." With that I get up and walk towards the door.

"Wait, what about the rocks?" He said holding them out. Oh yeah. Guess I just wanted to get out of here. I grab them and when my skin makes contact with his he pulls his hand back and looks at me in shock. I come to the only shaking realization that made sense. He felt the sparks of a mate bond. Instead of playing innocent and guilty I cover it up.

"Sorry! I have been giving everyone weird power shocks today. Guess I'm too cold." It was the start of Fall and it was still relatively warm. The excuse seemed to work because his mouth madee an 'O' shape.

"Bye! Hopefully we can work together well in the future as leaders as well!" Green eyes seemed to be completely different than when we were younger. More... hyper. Almost like we completely switched except he still has that soft serious-ish demeanor and I'm still outgoing, skilled, bossy although I will never admit it, and clever.

"Okay bye!" With that I dash out the room and head to my own while ignoring the surprised and happy voices of the pack members.

I walk into my room and am in shock with how clean it is. Even though it isn't dusty there was still my stuff exactly where I left it. My project from 4 years ago a few months before I left. I look up and I see the geometric pattern I had done with my mom while refinishing my room. My blue and green isometric bed set was still there! I saw my balcony furniture was in top condition as well. I go into my closet and laugh as I see all of the colors I used to wear, I've changed so much. I'm not even the same person. I go to the hatch in the ceiling which is cleverly hidden. I open it and head to the attic. I go to the sectional futon and open the attached drawer. I grab the small little box in it and the key. As I sit down to open it I see a drawing sticking out of the drawer. Oh, I must have forgotten to put it back in the box. I pick it up and stare at it. This was from Carter. The only other person besides the girls who knows about me being rogue that isn't related.

*Flashback*

"Ahh!" I screamed as I went down the slide. When I reached the bottom I felt sad so I pouted.

"What's wrong?" He said tilting his head. He was always worried about me even with his weirdo serious demeanor. Even though he was only a year and a half older than me he acted like a 90 year old sometimes! "Are you hurt?"
