The Rouges

"I was kicked out of my pack when I was 16... my Alpha didn't like that I was dating his niece... he thought I was going to take advantage of her... he told her I left her... she probably hates me. I hear she found her mate tho and I'm happy for her." Hank says.

"Wow... that's terrible! I'm sorry, Hank." I say as he finishes his story.

"You are welcome here Hank." Alic tells him.

"How about you two?" He asks turning his attention to the other men.

"We were born rouge." William tells us and his brother nods.

"Can you speak?" Alic asks the other brother. But William answers.

"He had his throat slashed when we were pups. He wondered onto pack land... doc said it cut his vocal cords... we were lucky a doctor pitied us enough to save him." He says.

"What about your parents?" I ask.

"Dissapeared when I was 8 Dari was 6... most likely dead." He answers.

"I'm so sorry to hear that!" I exclaim.

"Don't bother princess. I don't want your pity. Pretty thing like you probably never seen any real pain." He hisses.

"Alic do you have a file on me?" I ask and Alic gives me a questioning look but nods.

"Aaron would have made one as soon as you decided to stay... I honestly haven't looked for it." He answers.

"Can you get that for me Malak?" I ask and he gets me the file.

"Isabella Marie Sanders. Daughter of Alpha Brayden Sanders. Mate: TBD." I give Alic a look.

"I told you I haven't looked at it. I guess Aaron was waiting until we accepted each other." He says as I glare. "I'll fix it as soon as were done here." I nod and continue to read.

"Children: none. Rank: Alpha. Wolf Color: light brown. Born: March 30th in Midnight Moon infirmary. Siblings: none. Moved to Moon lake pack at age two. Moon lake pack destroyed four years later. Alpha dead. Isabella escaped. Raised rouge. Found by Alpha Alaric Grayson with wild wolves. Brought into Midnight Moon pack at age 18." I finish reading.

"I'm sorry Luna." Willam says bowing his head.

"We all have a past Willam. It's nothing to be sorry about. Welcome to the pack." I tell him earning me a smile.

"For now we can get you set up in the pack house. Beta Malakai will get the rest of your information. Everyone has to attend one training session a day. If you want to be warriors you need to attend both. You have one week to change your mind about joining then, if you choose to stay, we will initiate you. Welcome to the Royal pack." Alic says offering his hand. Each man shakes it before following Malak out of the office.

"I thought all rouges were criminals... Kicked out of their packs for a reason. I can't believe an Alpha would abuse their power like that! I mean Seriously?! Running off a 16 year old because he likes a girl!? And attacking a pup! He was trespassing sure but a rouge pup! They didn't even have parents!" Alic rants once they are gone.

"I wasn't like that." I remind him.

"But you were special! A one time thing!" He argues.

"Everyone has a story, Alic. With the number of rouges out there what is the likelihood they are all rapist or murderers... even if they were kicked out for a reason I'd bet most of them didn't deserve that harsh of punishment." I say.

"I get that... I just wish someone would have helped them earlier. I mean if the Alphas were just they would have ended this generations ago. William and Darius would have been raised in a pack safe and happy. If Alphas were fair Hank would have never been kicked out... I don't want to think about what would have happened if you would have run to another pack..." Alic trails off not wanting to say what would happen.

"That is why we are trying to fix this... I know you were just trying to stop the hunters from using them against us at first but now... we can help them Alic." I tell him and he hugs me.

"You are the most amazing woman on the planet." He whispers in my ear. I glance over at my file.

"And yet I'm still not in the files as your mate." I say and he groans.

"I'll do it right now okay?" He says releasing me and grabbing a pen and whiteout.

"Why don't you just use digital files?" I ask him. I mean seriously paper files are a little outdated.

"We do but the leading members of the pack's files are kept close at hand... that and all files on foreign Alphas. Anything that I may need access to in an emergency is here on paper... Ruby does the Tech side of it." Alic explains.

"So your file is here?" I ask and he looks up from my file giving me a questioning look.

"Yeeesss?" He drawls out the word like a question. "Why do you want that?" He seems so worried now I really want to read it.

"So I can put my name under mate of course." I answer him. I see him let out a captive breath. What is he so worried about me reading.

"Alright... top drawer first cabinet." He tells me.

"Yours is thicker than Malak's." I say pulling it out and setting it on the desk opposite Alic as I take a seat.

"Yea... I may have gotten in a bit of trouble as a pup." He says and I smile. "Don't even think about it." He warns.

I place my name in his file then flip through it while he is writing in mine.

"Alaric left pack boundaries without permission nearly starting a war with the Blue Creek pack. He forced a meeting with Alpha Rhydian who is now staying in Midnight Moon for a week. This boy has no concept of authority when it comes to getting what he wants..." I begin to read.

"Okay! Alpha Rhydian is my Uncle. I just wanted to meet my family. Of course Aaron would hype it up like I was starting a war. He just came for a visit!" Alic cuts me off. I put my hands up in surrender then turn a couple pages.

"You were taken to a dog pound?... and the Alpha picked you up?! Oh my! They even put you on a leash!" I laugh as I read one fo the first few entries.

"Okay okay! That's enough embarrassment for one day!" He says taking his file. As he puts it away I take mine.

"What where you writing in here anyway?" I ask then begin to read.

Isabella took to being Queen spectacularly. She has solved the rouge problem and may save us all. She has the biggest heart, a love for people that can not be matched. She is the embodiment of beauty and grace. People can't help but love her. She brings people together. She is a true leader.

"Alic... do you really think all of that?" I ask him once I'm done reading.

"That and more... but I can only write so much in an official document." He answers and I smile. I walk over to him where he sits in his desk chair and straddle him wrapping my arms around his neck.

"What else do you want to say?" I ask as I kiss my mark on his neck.

"That you are the most radiant sexy creature to ever walk the earth. That one look at you makes me want to run away with you and never return. That your scent is more crucial to my survival than the oxygen in the air. That the touch of your lips is like heroin and I'm addicted. That I love you more than life itself." He tells me.

"Take me home, mate." I don't have to tell him twice as he stands up with me in his arms running back to our house.
