The Alpha and the Rogue

Chapter 16

~Chapter 16~

The next morning we continued our training schedule. Much to Kade's displeasure I remained in the higher-trained wolfs group.

Well too bad! He doesn't have a say on the matter.

As for my Rogue family, they decided that they would stay in the pack house and train to fight in the upcoming battle. Of course Jessica and Kristina were scolded by their mates for even thinking of joining the war and were told they would remain far from the battle that will soon take place. They too would train as I would for emergencies only.

Besides being together and feeling joyful for that, I couldn't help but think of Scott and Anne. I felt bad for both of them, truly I did.

My heart hurt for Scott. I couldn't even imagine the pain from a rejection. This was the first one I had ever witnessed.

Us Rogues cherished the idea of a mate. It was the one thing we could look forward to in life because honestly, just roaming around for the rest of your life can get tiring. Once out of a pack and a Rogue, we lose that feeling of someone that cares for us, that sense of family. That's why I still refuse to forget my family of Rogues. We made ourselves a little pack that filled in those wounds of not having any loved ones. Most Rogues usually wandered alone and if they did roam in a group, at the slightest hint of danger all loyalty would be gone. The instinct to save one's own neck would arise.

But my family, we weren't like that; still aren't like that. I would lay my life down for any of them and I know they would reciprocate my feelings.

Scott doesn't deserve this pain. He deserves a mate that will love him as he does her. Which is why I feel bad for Anne.

And no, I don't feel bad for throttling her so get that idea out of your heads. I feel bad that she was brought up thinking she's above others. I feel bad that she won't have Scott. I feel bad that she will never get to experience that amazing mate bond that I know she will never be able to find in someone else, no matter how hard she tries or lies to herself.

No, she'll realize her mistake hopefully like everyone else does.

As a Werewolf and having a person that will forever be destined for you, the process of rejecting someone was not unheard. The only thing that was basically unheard of was the said, carrying out of the process to reject someone.

Usually when a Were, girl or boy, reject their mate they are overcome with sadness. When this happens, the only way to continue in the rejection is to leave your mate forever. Meaning new town, new friends, and a new pack. And most aren't willing to do that, thus making finalized rejections unheard of.

Even when they leave though, there is more a chance they will still end up mated to their destined one. That's why when Were's meet their other halves, they just accept it. The Moon Goddess put us together for a reason and who are we to question her?

So I stand by my earlier thoughts. Anne will accept Scott eventually. She won't be able to take the heart ache especially when he refuses to leave considering their will be a battle that involves not only me, but his mate now too.

My relationship with Luke has become tense. As Anne's sister he stands by her and most likely agreed with everything she said. Knowing that I've known Scott longer than Anne, Luke knows I sided with Scott. Not to mention he's probably mad at me for strangling his sister.

But other than all of that, all was well. Kade and I continued our relationship happily as I got to spend more time with my family of Rogues. There had been no attacks from Nightshade surprisingly but we still continued to train and Kade had many meetings with his higher-ups.
