‘Rogue.”
‘I’m coming!’
I pull my legs up to my chest in attempt to cover myself. He steps closer to me and crouches down. His sandy brown hair is everywhere from transforming. I look him over, trying not to let my eyes wonder. I then notice his eyes. They were icy blue like Leo’s eyes.
I sniff him again and pick up a small scent of blood. Telling me he is or was a part of the pack.
“You smell like the alpha… Who are you?” He asks.
I close my eyes and lay my head on my knees.
“Answer me!” He growls.
I slowly lift up my head and look at him through my now blurry eyes.
“I’m M- Mira…” I whimper.
He roughly grabs my chin and pulls me closer to him. That’ll definitely leave a bruise. I pull away from his painful grip only to be grabbed by the hair and lifted to my feet.
“You are on Blood Moon territory! ! you will be punished for trespassing on Alpha Leo’s land!” he yells.
I flinch at his words. I try to get him to let go of my hair but it’s no use, he just pulls harder. He’s nearly lifted me off the ground. The only thing keeping me on the ground is the tips of my toes. I cry out in pain as he lift me even higher off the ground.
Suddenly I smell an intoxicating scent.
Leo!
I feel the man release my hair and drop me on the ground. Once on the ground I curl up, trying to hide myself from prying eyes. Leo quickly pounces the man and pins him to the ground.
“How dare you lay a hand on my mate!” Leo yells.
“I’m sorry Leo, I didn’t know.” The man says frantically
.
“You know the penalty for hurting the Luna!!
Death!!!”
I see Leo raise his claws, ready to end my attacker. I jump up and grab Leo’s hand.
“Stop!” I scream.
I can’t let him kill this man. He just thought he was protecting his alpha.
“It wasn’t his fault Leo! I’m not a part of the pack!! He couldn’t have known I was the Luna!!” I state firmly.
Leo stands up, not taking his eyes off of the man.
“Fine. Get up William..” He grumbles.
Once William was standing next to leo, anyone could tell that they were brothers. Leo’s eyes turn red as he looked at me. He rips his shirt off and hands it to me. Leo turns to William and growls.
William quickly turns around to give me some privacy. I slip the shirt on and Leo picks me up.
Usually I say no but right now, I am exhausted. We start walking and William follows behind.
“William ? Why do you smell like a rogue?” I ask after a few minutes of awkward silence.
He gives an evil smirk. I’m starting to regret saving him now,” well, three months ago we had a big rogue problem. Me and my team were the ones who exterminated the rogues , so we did our job, but in the process, one of the team members were taken. I went after them alone. I couldn’t ask the others to risk more than they have. After two months I found the stupid rogues. But I was too late for the team member. I killed every last one of those stupid rogues…” I can sense the hatred in his voice.
We walk in silence after that, all the way back to the pack house…
William keeps glancing at me the entire walk home. He’s starting to creep me out. I try to stay as far away from him as possible. I know he’s Leo’s brother but I can’t shake the feeling that he’s dangerous. We enter the pack house and start walking toward the guest rooms. Leo notices my caution around his brother and pulls me close to him.
‘Did he hurt you Mira?’ He tries to sound calm but anger laces his voice.
‘No’ I say in our mind link.
I try to smile at him but I can’t seem to even look happy. I see William staring at us with an angry expression. His icy blue eyes grow darker. I tense up.
‘Mira, talk to me!’
I swallow the knot in my throat but it comes right back. I peel my gaze from William and look at Leo . He isn’t scared.
‘I’m just tired Leo. That’s all. I’m alright i promise.’ I force a smile on my face and leaning forward, I kiss his cheek.
.
William notices that I kissed Leo and he gives me an dangerous glare which scares me to death. Leo turns to William and his glare disappears. Whatever is wrong with William, he clearly blames me. Or something like that. Maybe… Hopefully.
“You’ll sleep in the room across from mine.”
Leo smiles.
I feel my heart sink to my stomach. I lay my hand on Leo’s shoulder and he looks into my eyes innocently.
“I’ll catch up later. I’m gonna go to the kitchen and grab a bite to eat.”I say meekly.
He places his hand on my cheek, ” I’ll see you later sweetie. If you need me I’ll be in my office.”
He looks up to his brother,” same goes for you, if you need me I’ll be in my office. Do you want anything before I leave to my office?”
William shakes his head and flashes his white, toothy smile. Leo nods then walks off. Once he turns the corner, William’s eyes shoot towards me. I step away from him but he steps toward me.
“I… I uh… I’ll be in the kitchen if you need me.” I get out.
I dart to the kitchen and try to find someone to hang with. Maybe if I’m with someone, he won’t try anything.
No one is here. Oh crap…
I hear him behind me.
I freeze in place, too scared to move. I feel a hand grab my shoulder and pull me into a muscular body.
