I have been running through rogue territory for days, stopping for small amounts of time to rest or eat, i haven't seen any so far but it doesn't mean i will let my guard down i still have to be cautious.

The sun was slowly fading so i decided that now would be a good time to sit down under the big oak tree and rest my eyes for just a few minutes...kill them all, none of them deserve to live! i woke up with a gasp i've been having the same dream every time i close my eyes since i left the pack, but i always wake up right before i see who gives the order to kill, it's strange but i feel like i've heard that voice before and not in my dreams, I must have been to busy overthinking my dream to notice that i was surrounded by five wolves.

The largest wolf stepped forwards and changed into his very naked human form, i immidiately looked down until he got a pair of shorts from a hidden spot in the tree,

"whats your name?" he asked,

i looked up at him in shock i was honestly expecting him to say something along the lines of "you have crossed into rogue territory for that you must die"  

he looked at me like i was crazy "come on don't be shy. I won't bite, promise"

i looked him in the eyes and said "Alexis"  

he had that fatherly look to him and i felt like i could trust him, which is crazy because he's a rogue and could kill me in seconds, but instead he smiled and said

" Alexis is a lovely name, my name's Samuel but you can call me Sam, everyone does"

everyone? i questioned

"yes, all the rogues that come here have to answer to me, you are a rogue aren't you? he asked in a kind voice

"umhh yes i mean no, i don't actually have a wolf, i mean i do i think, but i can't shift"

he looked as if he was thinking, the rest of the wolves were gone by now they must have known that i'm not a threat and decided it was safe to leave Sam alone with me

" if you can't shift then how do you know you even have a wolf? he asked

i sighed and told him that she spoke to me once, he looked satisfied with my answer

" well if you want you can come with me, me and the other wolves live near here, you could join us?"

" are you their alpha?" i asked shocked that he would be willing to accept me even though i can't shift.

"No i'm not their alpha, rogues don't have alphas but they look up to me, i do have some alpha blood in me but not enough to make any difference"

he took a pause and asked again

"so will you join us? at least until you figure out what to do next, you seem lost and you don't have to tell me why you're no longer a part of a pack until you're ready"

I thought about it for a minute, it wasn't like i had any other options and Sam seemed like a good person and for some unknown reason i felt like i could trust him, but i still wasnt ready to talk about my old pack, i don't know if i ever will be. I looked at him again and said " yes"

We walked through the forest in silence, but it wasn't awkward it felt nice, peaceful even, it gave me time to think about everything that's happened in the last week, the more i thought about it the crazier it felt, just two weeks ago i never thought that i would be rejected, leave my pack and walk through a forest with a rogue leader so he could show me where they live so i could join them, but even though it seemed crazy i don't regret it, it feels like i belong here and that seems even crazier who knows maybe i've really lost my mind.

After less than an hour i finally spotted cabins, there were too many to count and it was very dark, but walking past some if them i could see bikes and toys littered around the cabins i looked at Sam about to ask if there were children here but he already beat me with an answer

"many families live here, not all rogues go insane and start killing, some of them settle down and start families, others try and start over in the human community, it's different with everybody, it depends on the persons past and what they want for their future, the wolves that come here get a fresh start, a chance at happiness and i hope you get that aswell no matter what you decide to do"

he looked at me with a smile i was too speechless to answer, i've always thought that all rogues were monsters i guess i've been wrong

" you can stay at my cabin if you don't mind sharing a house with me, Kade and his little sister Sophia"

" are they your children?" i asked curious

"no, but i knew their mother, she died giving birth to sophia 2 years ago, Kade and her have lived with me ever since, but i love them both as if they were my own"

"i don't mind sharing" i answered

Sam led me into a nicely decorated living room and told me to take seat on one of the comfortable looking sofas while he talked to Kade, i was totaly exhausted and i could feel my eyelids closing even before i sat down.
