   My mind couldn't wrap around what Rogue said but the proof was in the back room. She smelled fresh of Mckayla, almost like an reincarnation of Mckayla's scent. I prepared a meal for the girl, sending Rachel to give it to her and basically take care of any other needs she might need. I didn't know why I was feeling so angry about this. I knew if Mckayla could have controlled herself she would have never bitten this girl, but that didn't change the way I felt.

   My emotions were confused. One minute I was so angry, feeling betrayed and the next I was sadden and felt pity for Mckayla. I knew Laurie was just another wolf for her to be responsible for. Mckayla was barely accepting the pack and her daughter as a full time responsibility.

   All morning I had avoided going to the back room and I couldn't face anyone either. I checked on Kaylee and then went back to my room feeling depressed. I was being pathetic about my emotions. It wasn't like Mckayla cheated on me or betrayed my trust.

   I listened as someone walked pass my door and then paused turning back. I groaned, standing up as I opened the door before she could knock. Being a werewolf had its perks.

   Marie looked at me cautiously. "How are you?"

   I shrugged turning my back from her as I ambled toward the bathroom. I turned on the sink water, letting it pool into the palm of my hands as I splashed some on my face. I looked up at my self as if trying to read my own emotions before giving Marie access to seeing them for herself. I couldn't see the tension around my forehead but I could feel my skin tightening. I blew out a soft breath, turning to find Marie staring at me.

   She was making me feel under a microscope and I decided on turning away again. "You and Rogue are bonding..."

   Marie furrowed her brow. "She's cool." She was being vague.

I knew she wasn't going to express her feelings about anyone unless under her own control. "You need anything?"

   She pursed her lips gazing around the room, probably observing it for the first time. This was Mckayla's old room, with many of her old stuff before she was forced out. This room carried so much of Mckayla as if she marked every spot. "Sometimes...I try to imagine the girl you had described Kayla as...long ago." Marie snorted. "She use to tell me stories of the things she had done as a cub. Her many pranks and running off to the city trying to act normal among humans."

   I thought back ten years remembering Mckayla during that time. "Once..." I walked out the bathroom sitting on the bed. "She decided she wanted to experience being human in a high school for one day. She sneaked into a school dragging me with her no less...and we impersonated being new students."

   "I've never been around human's more than I needed."

   "Well...Mckayla was always curious." I closed my eyes imagining her now. How much longer could I wait to see her face again? I hadn't seen her face in eight years before she came back to us; I could survive I bit longer.

   "Yes...she was." I looked at Marie and she went further into her meaning. "She tried to ignore her wolf and pretend to be normal...once. For almost six months she lived among humans. Did odd jobs and even lived with a human."

   My eyes widen ruffled by that. I almost tried to picture her doing that. Mckayla never spoke of her past as a rogue unless I squeezed it out of her and that took a lot of squeezing. It seemed I learned something new about Mckayla every week of what she experienced while she was gone. "What happened?"

Marie shrugged. "I don't even know. She never said..." Marie snorted. "You didn't ask more questions than she invited during that time. But after that...her feelings for humans diminished."
