The Rouge

Chapter 5

By the time Jeremiah and I got close to home it was past curfew. Just my luck. Dad would probably let Jeremiah off the hook but dad doesn't love me so he will probably lock me in my room for a week.

When we finally got to the outskirts of the village like usual I went behind a tree, shifted, and changed into the clothes tied around my ankles. Where as Jeremiah, is comfortable with himself and not caring if everyone saw everything, and he had no clothes anyway, shifted and started walking home. When I was done changing I caught up with my brother. I wasn't eager to go home but I was hoping being with Jeremiah, dad would go a little easier on me. I was hoping but not expecting.

When we got to the house father was standing right in front of the door. And as expected he was angry. No surprise there. He looked at me and I remembered what Jeremiah said in the clearing and instead of keeping eye contact with him I walked passed him and went in the house. I didn't look back but I could tell that walking past father was not helping my situation. But honestly, I didn't care anymore.

I noticed the rest of my brothers sitting on the stairs. I chuckled a bit when I noticed they were all sitting on the stairs oldest to youngest. Lucian, Gabriel, Austin, Michael, Jacob, Ellis and Ryder. I don't know why I noticed this but I guess I just pay attention to detail. They all saw that I walked past dad and I can feel them including Jeremiah were trying to reach me but I put up a metal block so I could just ignore everyone and everything.

My wolf was yapping my ear off again. "ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME. HAVE YOU FORGOT HE IS YOUR FATHER AND YOUR ALPHA. And you should apologize to Ryder. He was only trying to help. His wolf has been saying sorry to us ever since we walked through the door." I know I should apologize to Ryder for overreacting but I was tired and didn't want to do it right now. So I walked up the stairs past my brothers and went to my room.

I closed the door behind me and I didn't bother changing into anything and I just stayed in my clothes and laid down in my bed and fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up feeling a little uneasy. I could tell something bad was coming, but what was coming I couldn't figure out. Was I paranoid that my father would call for me and yell at me for coming home after curfew yesterday, or was it something bigger than that. Only time would tell.

I didn't want to go downstairs I knew father would not let last night slide. Coming home after curfew and completely disrespecting him, the Alpha of our pack. Definitely not going to be let off easy.

I could hear someone walking down the hall and they stopped in front of my door. I sniffed the air, it was Ryder. Good thing I locked my door. I didn't want to talk to anyone I just wanted to be alone.

I think Ryder assumed I was still sleeping and he eventually walked away. Before any one could come back and try to talk to me I got dressed into a black tank top and a pair of shorts. I didn't bother to put shoes on, I never did anyway. When I was all dressed I opened my bedroom window very slowly so it wouldn't be to loud. It took a while but I got it open enough that I can squeeze though.

I would have been scared jumping out my window, but one I was a werewolf and we can heal pretty fast and I would be lying if I said I haven't done it before. This is what happens when your father is alpha, you tend to become pretty rebellious. When I just turned 16 my friend Lily and I went to human town in Montana and went clubbing with my friend, and purged wolf from our pack, Antonio. When my dad found out I left the forest he locked me in my room for 3 days no food or water. Honestly it could've been worse.

When I jumped out of my window I was thankfully undetected. I quickly started running to a creek near by. I got in so when my brothers came to find me they wouldn't track my scent. I stayed in the creek and followed it up for as long as I could until had to get out and start going where I wanted.

I started to get hungry but I could wait till I got I my destination, it wasn't much farther away thankfully. After about another half hour of walking I got near where I wanted to got.

It was a little cave that Lucian and I found when we were little. I had forgotten it for a while and I hoped Lucian had to so he wouldn't come find me any time soon.
