The Rouge

Chapter 12

I finally got to where I needed to go and
I took off my duffel bag and grabbed some clothes. After I got dressed I started out of the woods and into town. I probably should have packed better but I knew that who I was looking for would help me out.

I wasn't going to give him much of a choice, cause he owed me big time.

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

Soon I got to the town and people were staring at me. Probably because it was about 40 degrees I was in nothing but shorts, a tank top and a flannel.I wasn't even wearing shoes, I never did anyways but I didn't want to start now.

It's been a while since I had been to this part of Montana and I hoped who I was looking for is still here. After a few minutes of walking around I found the alleyway  I needed to find him. And I prayed to the moon goddess that he was still here or most of today was just a waste of time.

I sniffed the air trying to locate his scent. But all I could smell was drugs and alcohol. Yep, he was still here. At the end of the alley there was a door to the right which led to his apartment. I didn't bother knocking on the door instead I kicked the door open and I saw him passed out on the floor in nothing but his boxers.

I stood over his body just staring at him and thinking of how pathetic he was. I leaned down and smacked him. He didn't stir. I grabbed his arm and dragged him over to his couch. I smacked harder. Still nothing. I clenched my fist and raised it, I wanted to punch him in the face but I decided against it. I sighed and walked towards the kitchen. All his dishes were dirty and smelled like pee. He is going to regret that later. I grabbed a large bowl that was half way filled with what smelled like pee. I opened the freezer and put ice in it to make it cold. I walked over to where he was sitting and I poured the contents all over him.

He finally stirred and licked his lips. After he licked his lips he woke. He wiped his face again and glared at me. "Not cool Eden, so not cool." I rolled my eyes. "Thats what you get for peeing in the sink now get up, clean yourself up, I need your help." And it was his turn to roll his eyes.

His name is Antonio. He was a part of my pack but things got interesting and he was purged. I didn't know all the details but I didn't really care. He was a good friend of mine. He walked into the room in a clean pair of jeans still shirtless and using a wash cloth to clean himself and surprisingly looking better already but I could still smell the alcohol and drugs.

"So what can I help you with?"
"I need a few things. I'm heading up to Alaska."
"So is it true? Has the Alpha of the Red Moon's pack daughter gone rouge?" I looked at him and nodded, "But how did you know? It's only been a couple days since I left." Antonio walked over and sat on the couch. "Word travels fast, and there are a couple of wolves from the Blue Mountain pack that I run into at the bar from time to time, and last night they said that you went Rouge. Not specifically you, but you are the only daughter of Adam Lahey." I rolled my eyes. "Are you going to help me or not?" He was quiet for a few moments "Fine I'll help you, but, I am going with you. You should have a man helping you with the long journey."I crossed my arms and glared at him. "Then find me a man so we can get going."

I started to walk to the front door and I paused and stared back at him. He was glaring at me. "Are you going to help me or not. I need money to get a few things." He didn't say anything and followed me out the door.
