Strength

Choice

Ever since she rejected me, any feelings I had for her have faded. Rapidly. My wolf was still heartbroken and that's what really set my resolve to leave. Hurting me is one thing, but hurt my wolf? You will regret it.

I took some time off from school. Just to clear my head. My pack was really hesitant towards me and that irked me. I'm not broken. I'm just upset. And even that is fading.

I decided to go to school one last time before I leave. My moms don't even know about my decision but I just need a clean break.

My Samsung Solar rang and I fell out of bed. I sometimes hated that phone. I should have stuck with the Flare.

Little Hazel ran into my room and hopped up into my bed. I loved this little girl. Her parents abandoned her to become rogues. Well not become rogues. Go back to being them. But they loved their daughter and knew she fit into the pack life so they ran off one night and left her everything.

I used to catch their scent at the border when I took Hazel out for a run. I once let them see her. She didn't recognize them because she was only a few months when they left.  I let them in one day and they played around with their daughter before they had to leave. I haven't seen them since. But I have a feeling they have passed away. Don't ask I just have that feeling.

"Hi Haze." I kiss her forehead she she opens her arms out for me. She doesn't talk much. Sometimes to me. But she picked up on Cassie sign language and uses that more often.

I pick her up and walk downstairs to the kitchen. I  grab some cereal for Haze and a bagel for me before going back upstairs to get ready for my last day of school.

"Are you leaving Saina?" I don't know why, buy she prefers to say my name backwards. It's the first thing she said when she could first talk.

"What makes you think that?" I asked and pit on my shirt.

"Because I can feel it. Something happened to you and I can feel it." I sighed and put my Cookie Monster socks.

I had no words to say. I knew I couldn't lie to her because I swore I would never do  that to her.

"Yes Haze, I'm leaving. My mate rejected me and I just need to get away. It hurts too much." A tear slipped out my eye and I looked away from her. Great Nai. Your crying in front of a kid that's almost two years old.

"Take me with you." I nearly got whiplash from jerking my head to her too quickly.

"I don't fit in her Saina.  I only talk to you. I trust only you. Please take me with you." She begged and I looked down.

I do love this little girl with everything I have but can I take her with me? Raise her for however long as I'm gone? Can I have a child?

Her little blue eyes pleaded at me and I sighed. I couldn't leave her. She wouldn't be comfortable here. And I wouldn't force her to stay.

I willed a few fake documents into the local hospital system in Washington.  Gave them false info and made it so that Haze was my daughter. Then I willed copies into a folder and put them into my bag.

So much planning and so little time. I finished getting dressed and made sure Haze was all set for afterschool. I don't know where we were gonna go, but we would get there.

I drove my 2025 Lexus to school and drove in silence to just get my thoughts and plan together.

I met up with my brothers and we got our things and headed to our classes. I Gould smell her but it did nothing but mee me a bit sad. I hate that I can't protect my wolf from the pain.

I saw her in gym. Of all the days I had to come back on a gym day. I paid her no mind. I think she stood with some other girls or this guy. I really don't remember much except for her scent that kind of made me ill now and my sister hovering over me.

Seff I'm ok. She is irrelevant to me right now. I'm just gonna wait until Nana Fate reveals her plan. I told her and she backed off.

I know Nai-Nai. I'm your sister though. I'm gonna be protective. Can I just kick her in the throat? Like twice? I laughed rather loud and the coach, aka Seb, our head enforcer raised his eyebrow at me before helping a boy out. At 45 years old, he is in his prime.

If you didn't know already, Supernatural lifespan can vary from 200 years to nearly 600 years. Unless your an immortal.

The bell rung and I quickly jumped down from the ropes. Damn. I was a few feet from the top. I hear a gasp and turn around to see her looking at me with worried eyes. She rushes over to me and quickly checks my body for something.

"Stop touching me." I snap at her and she freezes and steps back. I brush myself off and back away from her.

"Dont ever do that again!" Her eyes turn a darker green.  I look at her in confusion.

"Do what?"

"Scare me like that. Your my mate-" I snort.

"No I was. You rejected me remember. That was your choice." I kept my voice even. But I really wanted to slap her because my wolf was upset again.

She looked to the floor and I give her another confused before going to the locker room to change.

Don't worry. We will get through this together. I tell my wolf as I rub her fur. She rumbles under my hand and nods her head.

I was so distracted in consoling my wolf, that I didn't hear a girl trying to gain my attention.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" I asked and she smirked at me.

"Your gay right?"

"Um yeah?" Who is she?

"I'm Val. And I was wondering if you wanna get together one day?" She asks and I can immediately hear the inuendo. She's pretty but I'm not looking for anything. But she seems like a good person.

"Sorry Val. I'm not looking for anything but we can be friends." I tell her honestly. She smiles and nods.

"I'm okay with that. Here take my number and we can chill one day." We exchange numbers and she kisses me on the cheek. I smile and finish getting dressed.

Two more periods Haze. Do you still want to go? I ask her as I walk to math.

Yes I do. I'll be ready. Are you gonna be my mom or my sister? She is very perceptive for a baby.

Your mom if that's ok with you. I can feel her happiness and she quickly says yes. I smile and bid her goodbye and sit in my seat.

Everything has to be perfect Nai. It's gonna be you and your new daughter.
