The Rouge

Chapter 3

The walk home was very quiet. But there was something that kept bothering me. Why would my father reach me to come home if we were being attacked. 'Jeremiah where is father?' He didn't respond he was probably still annoyed with me that I helped him lure the rouge out of the village, when he said he had it "handled".

It was no use asking him again one of the traits all 9 of us get from out father is that we are very stubborn. Lucian once stopped talking to me for a month because I had beat him in a fight. I kept apologizing but he kept ignoring.
'Lucian where is father?He reached me and told me to come home but that is when I ran into the rouge.' He looked over to me, this gave me an uncomfortable feeling.

He looked forward again 'last I saw of him he was trying to keep every one safe because of the attacks. Every one woke up and started doing there morning routine and he was rushing around to make everyone go back to their homes till the attack subsided.'
I didn't want to keep thinking badly about the situation but I couldn't help myself. If we were being attacked wouldn't it have been safer for me to stay away than come home right away? As far as I knew this was the only trait that I got from my mother and that was being curious. This could both be a good and bad thing.

When we finally got home I went straight to my room and quickly shifted and put on some clothes. I went to my fathers study, I still kept thinking badly of the whole situation. I reached the door to the study and I just stopped. Something was holding me back and I don't know what but I was not having it.

I took a deep breath and went in my fathers study, he was there and just staring out the window. "Father I need to speak with you." He turned away from the window and looked straight at me. This scared me a little and I cowered back, I quickly got over the feeling and stood my ground.
Before I could say anything he asked me "Where were you Eden?" It scared me how I calm his voice was but also I could tell he was holding back. He wanted to yell, and personally I preferred the yelling. "Like I told you before I went out for a run. I needed fresh air ... father why did you tell me to come home right away if we were being attacked?"

He didn't answer instead he turned around and looked out the window again. When girl say that there fathers hate them because they didn't get the car they wanted, all I can think is bullshit. When I say that my father hates me, I really mean it.

Instead of waiting for him to answer I walked back up to my room. My father never really treated me like a daughter,he treats me like just another wolf. My dad has never told me he loves me, he never says he is proud of me and it doesn't help the fact that I am 16 and I haven't found my mate or that I say I don't want a mate. Most of us find there mate at 15 and I am 16 going on 17 and living mate less.

My brothers say I am lying when I say I don't want a mate. But I swear to the Moon Goddess that I don't want a mate. Another reason my dad probably hates me is because I don't want to stay home like all the other women and make clothing, cook, and work in the hospital of our village. I want to be out fighting with my brothers Jeremiah, Lucian, Michael and Jacob. He even suggested hunting with Gabriel, Austin, Ellis, and Ryder. But there wasn't enough action in hunting, I wanted to be a warrior like my two oldest brothers, the twins, and my father.

But my father just didn't understand. When I got back to my room I crashed on my bed, and stared at the celing. Some girls would start crying that there dad wasn't listening to them but i couldnt waste my tears and I wouldnt show weakness.

While lying on my bed I heard a knock on my door, I didn't respond hoping that which ever annoying brother it was they would go away. But sadly the Moon Goddess was not on my side and whoever it was they came into my room anyway. I quickly caught there scent and I recognized him as my brother Ryder. Being only two years apart me, Ryder and my brother Ellis who was three years older than me, were the closest.

"Ryder i dont want to talk to anyone just go away." I only heard him come closer to me and lie on my bed with me. " Well you just talked and told me to go away so now I cant go away." I could tell he was smirking. "No one likes a smart ass Ryder." Ryder was always there for me. So have the my other brothers but Ryder always helped me when no one else could or no one else would.

" You're right becuase last time I checked you and Julie love me." I couldnt help but smile, like I said he always helped me when no one else would. Julie was his mate, Julie and I weren't very close but it made me happy that she makes him happy.
"Shut up Ryder." He just chuckled. "So what's going on pup." I rolled my eyes at the stupid nickname. All my brothers called me pup just because I was the "baby". "Are you going to ever stop calling me that?" he rolled over to look me but I kept my eyes on my ceiling. "Nope." he says popping the "P".

I just rolled my eyes, "Its dad again, I hate how he doesn't treat me like his daughter just another wolf in the pack."
I rolled on my side and look at my brother "Eden he loves-" I scoff cutting him off "Dont fucking say he loves me, you and I both know that he could care less about me. He doesnt care, never has and never will. I would probably be better off as a rouge." At that he sat up straight and I can see the rage in his eyes. Converting to a rouge was something that shouldn't be taken lightly and was something you shouldn't joke about. But i wasnt joking.

"Eden!" I rolled my eyes and sat up to face my brother. "What? Don't give me that look Ryder. You know that i have thought about it before. And maybe if I converted dad would actually pay attention to me." I laid back down and stared at the ceiling. "Is that what you want? Attention. The world doesn't revolve around you Eden!" I stood up my brother was really getting on my nerves. " I know it doesn't I didn't mean it like that and you know it so cut the bullshit."

Before I could continue my brother Ellis opened my door and stood in the door way rubing his temples. "What is with all the yelling?!?" Before the rest of my brothers could come into my room I pushed past Ellis almost knocking him over and walked downstairs and out the front door. Walking down the stairs i was pretty sure Jeremiah asked me what was going on but I just ran past him. I didn't bother shifting, and I started running to the only place I felt I could have some peace.
