Turns out running was probably the stupidest Idea I'd ever had. Not only did it involve me falling head over heels down a twenty-stair-staircase but it didn't do much for my credibility with Theo.
He probably thinks I'm some rogue agent here to uncover all of his secrets and then I'll return to the rogue leader who is a fifty-something-year-old that I'm madly in love with, hah.
"If I knew why rogues are after me I would tell you!" I shout for the millionth time, Theo does not know how to listen.
"Are you sure about that Isabelle?"
"What do you mean?"
"Look at you," Theo says gesturing to me. "You're standing up straight, your posture is perfect, I can hear your voice loud and clear not to mention the fact that your stutter is gone."
I open my mouth to respond but my mind goes blank because he's completely right. The whole 24 hours that I have been in this pack I've been weak. I barely spoke and when I did it sounded like I was whispering not only that but I had, had the most incredulous stutter and it was gone just like magic, all it took was to anger me. I shudder at the idea of it.
"I j-."
"I don't want your excuses Isabelle, when you're ready to give me a believable, realistic explanation give me call." Theo shakes his head walking off a disappointed look in his green eyes.
"So that's it?" I call after him causing him to turn abruptly to face me. "This is how you're going to treat you're mate." A frustrated smile sneaks onto Theo's calm face.
"No." He shakes his head at me, "no you can't pull the mate card." That's all he says before locking the door after me.
I let out a scream of frustration, this isn't what I thought other packs would be like. I mean yes I have given Theo multiple reasons to distrust me and my sudden change in persona probably hasn't helped but I just I don't know who I am. I haven't found myself and he just got me riled up and arghhh!
I lay on the same bed I had slept soundly on just hours before. Only this time sleep didn't come easily, my whole life and belief had always been that it was better on the outside that escaping is the best thing for me but after this maybe it isn't. Naively I had believe that everything would work out but I guess my father was right, if my mate doesn't want me then there's nothing left.
I might as well just give myself up to the rogue's. I clench my fists Theo's words fresh in my mind, 'you can't pull the mate card on me.'
He doesn't want me that much is obvious I curl up into a ball pulling my knees up to my chest.
I don't know how Iong I sit like that but as my tears finally dry up a spark of anger ignites my mind.
What right does Theo have to do this to me?
I'm not a member of this pack I'm a rogue a wild creature, a locked door won't hold me, I won't allow it to.
With my new found vigour I storm over to the door and rattle the handle a few times, unsurprisingly it doesn't budge.
Slightly disheartened but not quite ready to quit yet I eye a small window by my bed. While the window itself doesn't open, it is made of glass and glass is easier to break than doors.
I grab the closest thing to me, in this case a wooden chair and approach the tiny window to inspect it. The window is little more than half a metre and it'll be tight squeeze but I'm sure I can make it. Staring at the chair in my I take one look at the window, It's now or never. The sound of glass breaking catches me off guard and for a moment or two I stand paralysed as I watch tiny pieces of glass rain down on me. I blink I'm not an idiot werewolves have incredible hearing if I stick around here any longer I'll be caught.
Before I know what I'm doing I wriggle through the window cutting my hands in the process.
Instantly I regret my reckless decision because I'm hanging out of a broken window with a two story drop.
"What was that noise?"
"It came from the rogue's room."
I gulp and let go feeling myself free falling for a matter a seconds it's the most amazing experience unfortunately it doesn't last long and the moment I hit the ground I run.
I'm not entirely sure what my plan is, all I know is that I have to find those rogues and I have to prove Theo wrong.
I run as fast as I can straight into the forest, trees encircle me as I wander aimlessly.
"Okay Isabelle what's your plan now hmmm?" I murmur to myself how stupid could I be? First my whole personality changes and then I try to escape out of the room I'm locked in - successfully might I add - and now I'm trying to find the rogue's looking for me with no plan, wow Theo will have to trust me now.
I jump back when I hear an unfamiliar sound, "w-who's there?" I stutter my anxiety returning in folds.
It's me darling don't you remember? A Large brown wolf appears out of nowhere his yellow eyes fixate on me.
Instinctively I take a step back, "w-who a-are you?"
You don't remember me.
I turn around fear in my eyes, he's got into my mind.
No need to be afraid darling, I won't hurt you.
"W-what do you want?" I ask all the courage and anger from just minutes ago draining out of me, and once again I'm that helpless girl who is to weak to lift a finger.
I want you beautiful, why do you think I asked Alpha Theodore ever so nicely to hand you over.
"Y-you did?" A million thoughts run through my mind at this mysterious man's words. If he asked Theo for me why didn't he just hand me over? Theo must've known they'd start a war if he didn't am I really worth that? Theo doesn't even want me!
I did but he seemed adamant to keep you, I don't know what your worth to him but you certainly won't come before his pack.
My heart sinks, he's right. "I-I have to g-go." I say turning to run, I don't get far as another smaller grey wolf appears from the shadows. More wolves, all different colours begin to encircle me. All I want to do is curl up into a ball and cry but I can't. I got myself into this situation and I will get myself out, I am strong.
I'm afraid I can't let you leave.
"W-why not?"
Because we've only just been reunited.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I cry desperately trying to run, I'm met by a powerful growl a growl only an Alpha can posses. "Y-you, you're an A-alpha."
I used to be, but that's not important we're here to talk about you.
"N-no please j-just let me be."
Now why would I do that.
"Theo will come after you he-he will."
I watch the wolf tilt his head back in what I think is a gesture of laughter. Alpha Theodore is a ruthless young man why would he waste his time on me.
"Because he's my mate." This caused even more laughter.
Don't flatter yourself darling Alpha Theodore sleeps with a different girl every night your not special.
My heart begins to beak as his words ring through my ears, is that why Theo doesn't want me? Because I'm not as pretty as all the other girls he's been with.
"He will come!" I cry holding onto a small amount of hope staring at all the wolves circling me, why is this happening to me? All I wanted to do was prove myself and now Theo will think I betrayed him. I-I have to ask him for help. No! I have to do this alone.
Well then boys sit down we will and wait for your so-called-mate.
I stare at this cruel man shaking violently, Theo I don't know if you can hear me or if you even want to but I'm surrounded by rogue's and and I'm scared please Theo if you can hear me help. I try to reach his mind, anyones mind but I can't my head is pounding and I'm to weak to even pick up their pack link, I can only hope that Theo is a lot stronger than me, strong enough to come. "W-what do you want?" I ask trying again.
I want you darling.
"W-why me? I'm not very pretty and I know lots of girls who are p-prettier I could introduce you if you like and an-."
You are the most beautiful g-.
Don't finish that sentence. I blink in surprise, a new voice? Is that even possible how are two people in my mind at once?
Ahhh Mr Alpha here to save your conquest for the day.
There is no response and I feel my heart sink, I guess he doesn't care. Within a second of his words I watch the brown wolf who had been taunting me take off along with the others that had been surrounding me, what is that about? I thought he wanted me? I look around as tens of wolves come out of the trees, their eyes are all fixated on me and I shift uncomfortably, who's after me now? I think I've had enough excitement for one day.
Isabelle are you okay?
It's that voice in my head again, how did it get there? I look around as the wolves begin to part only to reveal a huge black wolf.
"Theo?" I say softly my voice shakes as his wolf approaches me.
Are you okay?
He repeats his earlier question not acknowledging mine, I can feel his eyes on my as he rakes up and down my body for marks or scratches. He growls at the sight of my cut up hands I just shrug in response. "It was the g-glass."
What did they want?
"I-I d-don't know everything happened so fast and he called me darling and his wolf was just so big and I tried to escape but they surrounded me an-." I can't finish my sentence before I collapse in a pile of sobs, I'm a weak failure. I can't do anything myself.
The whole clearing goes silent and all you can hear are my sobs for a moment before all the other wolves begin to run, every single one until only the huge black wolf is left with me, who I can only presume to be Theo.
It's okay.
"No! It's not." I wail helplessly, as I watch the black wolf walk towards me slowly. I back up instantly and continue through my sobs, "I ran away and and I broke your window and your chair! W-what if that was your grandmas chair and now she's dead it was all you had to remember her by and now it's gone and the glass is broken and its everywhere I could've hurt someone I j-."
I promise you I'm not mad I just want to know why.
"What do you mean why?"
Why did you run? Why did you try to find those rogue's? Why did you ask me for help?
"W-well." I begin but before I can continue the black wolf in front of me begins to spin and slowly his piercing eyes turn black as well.
