New Rogue in Town

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

I didn't remember the last time I had ever gotten grounded. That had never happened because I hadn't ever done anything of this scale. Why so suddenly? And it felt horrible. To feel your parents gaze that was full of disappointment. It was such a gaze that made you feel like a failure to the family.

I felt so much shame and guilt and I hated it. It made me feel worse than it should have been.

I closed the door and fell to my knees. At least no one would see me in this state. My head rested itself on my knees. I couldn't believe it, why had Alec done it? Why did he have to betray me? I knew he purposefully did it, did that mean he knew what the outcome was going to be?

If so then he knew I was going to be grounded. Was he thinking that this was payback or something because it sure wasn't funny? I had never been in this much trouble before and for them to ground me. I groaned with my fingers pulling my hair.

What was he thinking? What could he possibly get out of this except for never seeing me? Wait... Never seeing me, was he that disgraced in me? Did he think having a human around was bothersome and that I would just get in his way?

I had never felt so useless in my life. I had no idea what was going on, wolves were running around and rogues were killing people and I knew that rogue. Everything was getting out of hand and still Alec refuses to tell me anything and keeps me away from everything. Why would he do that? I lived in this town too.

My head burned and red was filling my vision. I needed to vent it all out and I spied a nearby soft toy just looking soft and cheerful like it was oblivious to everything around. I grabbed it, shaking it back and forth. Why was Alec treating me so differently from his friends just because I was a human? I threw the soft toy as hard as I could against the wall. It bounced off unharmed.

That fuelled my anger even more and before I knew it, my hands were grabbing every soft toy I could get my hands on and threw them all at the wall. I cursed their softness and their plush bodies that were immune to pain and feeling. At least they would be free if I threw them out the window and they wouldn't be restricted by walls. They would never know the feeling of betrayal.

Just the mere mention of Alec brought on another frenzy. He was probably enjoying his time with Teya and smirking at his own brilliance. Didn't he care about what I felt? I almost tore my pillow apart in frustration. Not to mention, what was that ridiculous tapping? I snapped at the window, ready to throw anything at that pesky bird to find a face staring at me.

It definitely wasn't a bird face and it completely defused my anger and turned it into fear.

"You didn't open the window." Finn smiled and let himself in. He took in the messy surroundings and chuckled to himself briefly. Did he find my angry ranting so amusing? "You're not going to greet me? I know I let Teya get away but you don't have to sulk about it. That Alpha brought along a whole team of werewolves." Finn talked to himself while I collapsed onto the bed. At that moment I wanted nothing more than him leaving me alone. I didn't want him in my room, not anymore.

Finn realised I wasn't answering and turned to study my face. I involuntarily flinched from his gaze. I didn't know what he'd do when he found out I was scared of him. I didn't mean to be but it was the truth. I hadn't fully understood how dangerous a rogue really was until now, when I had the full intimidating stare of a rogue.

"This is about what he said wasn't it." Finn's face showed a hint of recognition and just as suddenly his face turned into a mask. A blank gaze that showed no emotion and was such a different contrast to his smiling happy expression he had a moment ago. I didn't realise I would evoke such a being devoid of emotion that I wanted Finn back. As long as he wasn't like this.
