Looking away from the wolves training, I leaned against Azrael, a small blush formed on my face when feeling all her muscles under her clothes. She's built like a boulder. No wonder her shirts were all baggy on me.

Compared to me and her, she's like a giant beast while I'm a small pup. Kind of embarrassing and makes me all shy.

Feeling myself be placed down, I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up at Azrael, tilted my head to the side. Why is she putting me down?

Actually, why are we so far off away from everyone else? Can't even see anyone. And how did we get this far in such a short amount of time?

Looking back at Azrael, she looked nervous again. Then, my eyes widened when she suddenly knelt down in front of me. I wanted to say something but couldn't mange to get the words out. I was panicking inside. Why is she kneeling!? Alphas don't do that! To no one!

On one knee, Azrael bared her neck is submissive. Much to my shock as she kept her eyes down. "I...I wanted to do this later today after we spend the day together, but the guilt has been eating inside me for these last few days and I can't keep it in any longer." Huh?

"You may think that I am a bastard." What? No, I don't think that at all. What is this coming from? Watching as Azrael shifted uncomfortably where she knelled, still unable to meet my gaze, worried and confusion filled me. "You may see me as a monster for marking you against your will and I'm...sorry." She's sorry?

"I'm not going to make any excuses for what I did that night. You can scream, yell, hit, and kick me as much as you want. I won't stop you."

I didn't do anything as Azrael just continued to knelt there waiting. Staring down at her, frozen, I didn't know what to do next.

No one has ever apologize to me before nor have they ever take responsibility for what happened cause it was always my fault.

But with, Azrael. She's so weird. Alphas don't apologize, it's not in the nature to do so or admit that they did something wrong. Nor do they knee.

They do as they please, when they please. But with her, she keeps on surprising me. Is it because she's a Rogue or something else?

No. That's not it. Rogues are dangerous and evil creatures. They steal, kill, and do everything and anything to break the laws the Council has placed to keep everything in order and balance.

Why is she so different? Why is she destroying everything I know and grew up learning?

Feeling laughter raise up from my chest, I tried to hold it back my covering my mouth which just muffled it. Shoulders shaking, tears in my eyes, Azrael finally slowly looked up at me, looking slightly confused.

That's when my laughter busted out and my loud laughter filled the woods.

Tears rolled down my cheeks and I tried to wipe them away, only for more to release the ones I just wiped.

The wounds on my back were aching by how hard I was laughing, but I ignored it. Just couldn't help myself. This situation is so confusing that I can't help but laugh at it.

All my life, I learned to deal with everything the pack and Alpha threw at me. They taught me how werewolves live and how they do things, as well as teaching me my place in it all.

I am a Runt. Unwanted daughter that was supposed to be a son for Alpha. There was no love for me, since I didn't deserve it. My only job was to do as the pack commanded, to keep them from doing the dirty work they shouldn't do, that was it. Didn't matter if they forced everything onto me or even hit me. Why did my mate have to change that?

Oh well, better get use to it quickly to survive. Because that was always my game plan in the end ever since I was little, to survive. Survive today to see the next day and hopefully the next one after that and the next.

But if Alpha does finds me, all I can do is prey to the Moon Goddess and hope I survive the grueling punishment that awaits me.

With my laughing slowly coming to a stop, I reached up and wiped away the last of my tears, looking down at Azrael with a smile on my lips. "I forgive you, Azrael. Now, get up and let's go back to the tour."

I used to people giving me more pain than what Azrael did to me the other night. Yes I'm still slightly angry about the incident in the woods but I forgive her. She was afraid after all. I could tell by her tone of voice. She was afraid of losing me. Another weird thing about her.

Standing up, I went to walk away only for a giant hand to gently grab my wrist and stop me. Looking back, Azrael was looking at me with great happiness. "Do it again."

Tilted my head confused, my body turned back to face her. "Do what again?"

"Laugh. Do it again." I tilted my head, looking down at Azrael since she was still kneeling. What a weird request.

Her expression was full of want and desire. Staring up at me with her red eyes, waiting. It was kind of cute to see. If she had a tail, it would definitely be waging right now.

Just thinking that, another smile grew on my lips and I chucked. Who knew that a big, scary Alpha would be so adorable?

Feeling a hand against my cheek, my eyes opened and looked up, seeing Azrael looking down at me, inches away from my face. Having her own smile on her lips. "Your laughs sound like an Angels."

My cheeks began to burn in embarrassment by how close she was and what she said. Stepping away, my eyes averted else where, as to not look at my mate.

In the corner of my eye, Azrael stood to her full height and chuckled. "You're so adorable, my little mate."

Moving her short hair out of her face, stepping over to me, Azrael picked me back up. Leaning me against her and began to walk back to the others.

"Thank you, for forgiving me, Iris."
