To Love A Rogue(MalexMale)

CHAPTER 5

Julian

I stood beside my sister who was still seething. It was suffocating really, being around so much anger couldn't be good for my soul, I stayed either way. The pack members watched us with curiosity some with confusion but non with resentment or anger, all but one, a woman about the age of my brother scowled at us. I tilted my head, is she married to Carter? I sniff her when she passes discreetly and I do not find a trace of him on her. I purse my lips, alright, mabye his spouse is already in and I didn't notice it. Julia nudges me and we enter the ssme room we had been put in when we arrived.

"Why are we here? "I whisper to her as two men close the doors.

"Carter is going to introduce us, dumbass." I pout at her.

"Mean much? "She raises her brow at me.

"You can take it," she smiles snuggly at me.

"Well, I don't want to. "She giggles a d her anger seems to fade and I smile, at least I got her spirits up.

"Welcome, my fellow pack members," Carter's strong voice echoes in the hall catching everyone's attention, mine included as my body seems to hum to the sound of him. I bit my lip. "Today I have asked for your attendance because of our guests," Heads turn in our direction, some polite smiles some still innocently curious.

"Please step forward, "We stand from the seats and go to stand in the center."We welcome you all." His eyes stray on me, sadness flickered through his gsze before he turned to everyone. "They come from the Bronze Moon Pack, some of you might be familiar with it, they were attacked and their entire pack wiped out. Here they find refuge until they reach their decision." My brows furrow. Decision? I thought it was stay a few days then leave, no other option.

"I ask you now, Silver Clawed Pack, do you accept my decision, if not please speak now. "There was silence and I glanced behind to see everyone murmuring to themselves. This pack is so democratic, it's refreshing.

"They are rogues, right? How can we be sure they won't hurt us?" Carter looked to us.

"Do they look feral to you? "There was a murmur of agreement.

"if they were attacked, whose to say whoever attacked our pack didn't follow them, how can we be sure it's safe to have them here." I sighed and glanced over at River who was tense and his whole body taunt. What is with him?

"Why are you being so selfish? They only want refuge and here you are worrying about something that have literally zero chance of happening. If it were you, wouldn't you ask we thought with our hearts, not our impending fear? "Carter had a proud look in his eye and I turned to see his brother glaring at the woman who had been scowling at us.

There was a soft murmur and I felt like I was a criminal in trial. I looked up st Carter and he sighed before motioning me over. My eyes grew wide and I pointed to myself. He nods his head slowly and I walk over to him. He looks up at everyone, his aura overpowering, I stood beside him confused but comfortable.

"This is Julian Meyers... My mate. "There was silence and my heart seemed to stop and I gapped st him. Just earlier he was talking about his spouse, wait, could it mean that they agreed to leave and he and I could be together, oh, god, I am freaking out. My wolf howls at the sign of acceptance. Wait, something isn't right, I narrow my eyes at him. What is he up to?

"We have a Luna? "Someone said gleefully. Carter turned to me looking pained.

"Not exactly." He said slowly, "Anyway, they will stay and I expect them to be treated with the same respect you treat each other with. Meeting is now over." Then he left me there, all alone and Julia came to me looking worried.

"What dis you do? "I ask her immediately.

Carter

Whst the hell was I thinking? Nothing. Seeing him there, with his siblings and friends, I just...I couldn't not let people know who he belongs to, I am a grade A ass. A possessive show and now I don't know how to feel about it. Angry? Happy? Regret? No, I'm not angry, I'm happy, now my pack knows, I don't regret it but now it seems I have no choice but to accept him but I never rejected him either. Oh, girl, now I've done it.

I pace outside, growling at myself. Aiden comes out with my brother.

"Why didn't you tell me! I'm so happy for you! "Andrew hugs me tightly, am I happy for myself?" You know I am thought you were going to die alone one day."

"Wow, thank you brother, for the obvious fsith you have in me. " Aiden meets my eye and he shakes his head in obvious disappointment." Hey, why don't you find Vincent and go watch a movie or something. He must be lookin for you. "Andrew rolls his eyes.

"Gosh, you treat me like a child, it needs to stop, I can take a hint." I narrow my eyes at him and he laughs walking away.

"Carter, what was that? "I shrug, I'm so sick of being scolded, it's happened to much in one day.

"I announced their presence, told them about Julian. What else was it?" Aiden looked about ready to pop a vein.

"No, no it wasn't, that looked like a way of using what he is to neutralise the crowd, what is with you? Do you have any idea what he could be thinking? "

"He could be happy?" I supply innocently.

"This isn't you, Carter. You are my best friend and as your best friend it is my job to tell you when you've screwed up. You've screwed up, perhaps not enough to lose any chance but you aare playing with his emotions and I don't like it. "I could fel myself deflate, he always knew how to make me feel small, so incapable of thinking straight, sometimes I feel he should have been Alpha. My wolf growls.

-You are a great Alpha.

-I never said I am not, I just think sometimes like now, I shouldn't have.

-Your mistakes are what make you great.

"I don't know what to do, okay? Le-Ann had been all I wanted, needed, I know we were arranged but...I grew to love her. " I tried to explain how I felt, why I was the way I am now.

"You can grow to love him too."

"How can you be sure of that? "

"You did once, you can do it again." He offered me a smie, "all you have to do is get over Le-Ann, even I know she wouldn't be happy with you doing this to your soul mate because of her. In fact she would probably threaten to beat you with a stick." I smile at the thought of her glaring at me, a stick in her hand and her long blonde hair in a pony tail, threatening me with it.

"I guess. "Alright, now I just need to get over her, but I already am over her death.

"Perhaps the real reason you keep thinking of her is because..." I glared at him and his brows went high, oh, he is right. I know what he wanted to say and now it make sense. Every time she is mentioned, the only reason I really get so angry is because of the baby she was carrying at the time. Oh, gods.
