Sang's Acceptance

Meant to be Yours

I mentally laugh knowing that not a single rogue has volunteered so far. Ignoring Mr. Toma  who is looking around the rogue side of the gym I head to Wil and the guys, who have switched spots and moved back a few rows.

As Drake and I make our way to them, Mr. Blackbourne goes towards the stage. "Since apparently none of the rogues seem to be particularly fond of kareoke, I think this is a good time to mention that while on our territory you will respect the Alphas and pack members here or you will quickly find that our punishments are less than kind," he says firmly, "That being said, Miss... Sang I believe you will be the next rogue to sing," 

I choke on my own spit "Haha you thought wrong," I laugh looking down and avoiding the eyes staring at me and shaking my head. I hear a growl and all the sudden I'm over someones shoulder. "Blackbourne is right, I'm sick of your disrespect," I just gonna go ahead and assume grumpy muttered as he carried me to the reassembled stage- speaking of which what a waste of time for them to take it down for basketball then literally put it up again 20 minutes later.

Instead of struggling I just place my elbows on grumpy's back and my my chin on my hands, looking up at my friends who are laughing their asses off, needless to say after seeing that I flipped them off. Assholes.

Grumpy put me down on the stage glaring at me as I glared back crossing my arms, he pointed to a book then went to sit down again. Frustrated, but, walking over to the book I searched for a song, it was separated by genre so, narrowing it down immediately, I was mostly choosing between classic rock or musical theatre.

Between my nerves and indecisiveness, I muttered "I'm too awkward for this,"  causing the pack member, who was working the music to laugh. I looked up and smiled at him, and you guessed it... heard some growls from the audience.

Deciding to just say 'screw it' I flipped to musicals and with a huff decided on a song. Pointing to the song I showed the guy which one I wanted to sing, and after a split second decision told him I didn't want a backing track.

Grabbing a guitar and mentally checking my nerves, I reminded myself that I basically preform for a living and told myself the same thing I say to the kids who get nervous. 'Pretend you're someone else, the character you're portraying or just someone with confidence, the only one who knows it's an act is you.' With that I started singing.

Okay this is the song I picked however many years ago and why not leave it I'm too lazy to put in the effort to find another song so... you can insert whatever song you want. 

Being me I couldn't help but pick this song, both because it's typically sung by and guy and it's probably not what they expected me to pick. Also its a funny choice given we're in a high school gym and I wouldn't mind if it went boom. They can't blame me though it was on their list! My only regret is that it was technically a love song, gross.

When I finished the rogues applauded, they probably expected something like this I am a musical theatre nerd after all; but the pack members kind of just stared at me shocked which creeped me out. I put the guitar down and as I was walking back to my seat Mr. Blackbourne states "That was not an appropriate song choice,"

"It was on your list," I reply without even looking at him and go sit between my brother and Drew; snuggling into Drew's side and poking my brothers face until he swatted my hand away causing me to laugh. 

"If no one else would like to sing we have another activity," Mr. Blackbourne states, standing on the stage once again. When no one says anything he continues, "Alright then, our next activity is a tour of the school, since there are significantly less rogues then pack members, there will be multiple pack members in each group and only one rogue," he looks at me with a smirk.

"Fuck," I mutter under my breath but Drew hears me and chuckles. 

"So I want pack members to get into groups with 5-15 members in each group and I'll adjust from there, once you make your group find a spot in the gym, there are 23 rogues so I'm going to need 23 groups including teachers," Blackbourne finishes.

"Shocker," I mutter. 

Once all the groups are figured out Blackbourne goes through rogues and assigns them to a specific group and once they are assigned they can leave for a tour, everyone gets an hour and a half, including lunch in the last half hour, and then they should be back in the gym.

Of course he decides to skip me when giving people groups and I just sit there on my phone until it is only me and the Alphas left in the gym. I refuse to acknowledge them until they speak up.

"So... are you planning on talking to us anytime soon?" one of them says.

I put my phone in my bag and tilt my head at the one who spoke, he looks like he should be on a beach somewhere, he's tall with long blonde hair and brown eyes that remind me of chocolate,  "Are you planning on showing me around or are we gonna have a heart filled moment and talk about how long we've waited for each other," I say mockingly.

Blackbourne's eyes flash yellow and I suppress a laugh, "Wow, thought you'd be one of the last ones I pissed off this much," I tell him leaning back slightly and resting my elbows on the bleachers behind me, as he starts to growl more and more. 

"I have had it up to here with your attitude and behavior," he says slowly loosing control, I can tell his wolf is incredibly powerful, the stronger people's wolves are the harder they are to control, I'm surprised that he has kept his wolf in so long.

"And I have had it up to here with people expecting I'm gonna be exactly what they want, do exactly what they want, and act exactly how they want," I say in my most calm tone, "but we don't always get what we want, hell all I wanted to do was work and take care of my siblings and now I have to deal with this bullshit, sorry but I didn't sign up for mates and if I could I still wouldn't have. Find some random chick in your pack and mate her!" I get my bag, stand up and leave the room, missing the four forced shifts that took place after I left.

I decided a long time ago, before I even left my old pack that I didn't want a mate. I really can't handle anymore people who are 'supposed' to love me, treating me like shit, and if keeping them back keeps them from hurting me, or worse, my brothers, then I am completely fine with it.
