The Rouge

Chapter 8

As I was walking to the hospital Gabriel mind linked with me, "Can you hurry home there was something else Lucian and I wanted to talk to you about, about the rouge." I froze, he found out the rouge was my mate this is not good. "That's what you get for running away from him in the first place. Fate will always find a way to bring us back together." My wolf has been giving me attitude ever since we ran from him.

I got to the hospital and Jeremiah's mate, Skylar, was still there. She looked my direction and she was definitely still not happy with me. She got up walked over to me and put her hand around my throat, "What the hell is your problem you could've gotten him killed." Her hand was becoming tighter around my throat, but not enough for me to suffocate, yet. "You don't think I take full responsibility for what I had done, I feel terrible about it but can't you be happy that he is alive?"

Jeremiah got up from his bed and put a hand on his mates shoulder. He must of mind linked her and she let go of my throat and she gave my brother a kiss and walked away. Jeremiah went back to his bed and I sat in the chair next to him. It was quite for a while, finally he broke the silence, "Lucian told me what you are planning to do." I fumed, but then again I told them not to tell dad not Jeremiah. "When will you be leaving?" I looked away from him, "I will wait until you get out tomorrow night."

"And there is nothing I can say or do to make you stay?"

"No, no there is not."

"Not even I if I said your mate wanted to see you." I quickly looked to him. How in the world did he find out. "Gabriel came to see me after he handed the rouge to keep him captive and he kept saying 'the brown wolf is my mate let me see her' and 'I hurt her is she okay'. You know it's not natural for you to run from him." I stood up from my chair and looked away from him, "I know but I am not ready for a mate, I didn't even want a mate and I am leaving tomorrow everything its just overwhelming." I looked back to him and I saw the wheels turning in his head. I sat down and is was still quiet between us.

After a long silence he spoke again, "I could always let him out and you could runaway together." I looked over at him again. "No. Right now I want to be away from everyone. I was thinking earlier that maybe if I took long enough to warm up to the idea of having a mate he would move on and forget about me. Hopefully." The last part I said under my breath but I am pretty sure he still caught it.

Even though I wanted to spend a little more time with Jeremiah I couldn't, there was still a few things I needed to prepare before I left. "I will let you rest, and I will still be here tomorrow so don't start worrying just yet." I walked out of the hospital and headed back home to be interrogated my Gabriel and Lucian.

I walked in the house and I looked for my brothers they weren't in the living room, and they weren't in the dining room. I tried listening for them, I went upstairs and I heard snoring coming from Lucian's room and then snoring from Gabriel's. Thank the Moon Goddess I didn't have to talk to them yet. I walked to my room and laid in bed I wasn't tired but today was exhausting. I didn't bother changing out of my clothes and I just let the darkness consume me.

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

I woke up to the sound of my brother coming into my room and laying down on my bed next to me. I rolled onto my back and stared at the celling. It was quite, to quiet for my liking. " Gabriel what do you want?" He turned to face me but I continued to stare at the celling, "I wanted to talk to you about what the rouge kept saying to me." Stupid rouge, why must they ruin everything. Well I guess I can't complain since I am converting.

I turned to look at Jeremiah, " And what exactly did he say?"

"He kept wanting to know if you were okay, he wanted to check to see he didn't hurt you to much and he kept saying he wanted to see you because you are his mate." I closed my eyes, "I knew it, why did you run from him Eden? Shouldn't you be happy that you found your mate?" Did this boy not no me at all? I sat up, "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT, I NEVER WANTED A MATE." I would say that my wolf was coming out but that is a lie. She is angry with me for running in the first place, and she is yelling at me as I am yelling at my brother. But the anger is all me.

He sat up and faced me. I could tell whatever he was going to say he was going to hold back. "You think I don't remember you saying that, I know you don't but you know it is against nature to not be with your mate. It would be one thing if you didn't meet your mate but you did." I got off my bed and grabbed my small duffel and put it on the bag. "Well it doesn't matter does it, I am leaving tonight and he is being held captive. Gabriel can we just stop arguing and can I have a little bit of time with you and the others before I leave? You might never see me again."

He nodded and got up and walked towards me and he pulled me into a hug. I didn't hesitate to hug back, I heard him sniff and a tear drop on my head. I pulled away and wiped his tears and then gave him a light slap on the cheek an walked out of my room and said to him, "Big baby." and I heard him chuckle and follow me out of my room.
