Growing up people always talked about how great it was to have a mate. How the tingles would dance across your body, your heart already beating in sync with theirs.

They talked how you would stare into each others eyes for hours, never getting tired or bored of the trance. The butterflies in your stomach. How you become one with each other.

But no one tells you about when the butterflies die. How it feels when he plunges his hand into your stomach and crushes every individual butterfly. How the look of disgust on his face as he looks into your eyes. How the tingles turn into stab wounds as rejection rings through the air. How your heart seems to lose its rhythm.

I don't believe anything was wrong with me, I am an average wolf's daughter. I trained hard, I was no means the best fighter but, I was not weak.

Though to him, it you were not the best, you were last.

Looking into his beautiful blue eyes I flinched at the harsh glare directed to my green eyes. A crowd had formed around us in the hallway.

I still felt the tingles in my shoulder where he had bumped me. He stood tall, he would be the Alpha in a few years, after graduation. I was supposed to be his Luna, but I knew by the look in his eyes, that was not going to happen.

I knew in that moment, he would never think of me in the way that I have dreamed of him in the last two years.

I had a crush on the alpha. I prayed the moon goddess to allow me the gift of being his mate.

The cruel joke she has played on me.

A growl rumbles through Jacob's chest. Soon the words follow behind. "I, Jacob Alex Neal, soon to be Alpha of the Stone bridge pack, reject you as my mate and Luna of this pack." I gasp as I hit my knees grabbing my heart, tears streaming down my face.

"Dont be a pussy, accept it." He growls out. I hear other people agree with him.

"I-I," I'm interrupted by a sob as it rocks through my chest. The pain was to much, like I was being stabbed in the heart over and over, with each breath I took in.

I take in a deep breath as he rolls his eyes.

I swallow harshly, he growls as he then kicks me in the stomach taking my breath away.

"I accept- I accept your rejection," I wheeze as I keep my eyes to the floor as I hold my stomach.

My poor wolf, Sinia, howls in pain. My lip trembles. The bell rings. The students including my mate clear the halls leaving me alone in the hallway.
*

My eyes open as I blink rapidly. I groan as I grab my head, the throbbing has started.

I slowly sit up as I roll my shoulders, rolling my dream off as well.

I groan again as I force myself to stand from my bed. Bits of memories from last night run through my head, one sticking out the most.

Gold eyes.

Royal eyes.

Royalty was at the party last night.

I groan a third time, as I trudge to the bathroom. I quickly shower.

I blow dry my hair leaving the ends still damp, I put on panties and a white sports bra. I then pull on my brown cargo pants.

I smile as I grab the freshly washed clothes and stuff them in the black back pack I carry.

I throw the back pack on and head out the bedroom.

I tilt my head up and breath in deeply at the smell of waffles. Down the stairs through the living room and into the kitchen.

Abigal sends me a smile when she sees me as she continues to fix plates. I look at Zeke who is sitting at the table talking Danny's head off. I smile as I see Danny tunning him out as he nods randomly. I find my place and see Danny look up at me. A smile finding it's way on his face. This is the closest thing to home I've had since I was kicked out. Yet my heart doesn't accept it for some reason.

"Sin, how long are you staying with us," Danny ask.

Before I can answer Abigal does so for me.

"She has a bounty, Danny, you know that means she leaves after breakfast." Abigal smiles my way as I return her smile.

"By the way thank you, Abby for washing all of my clothes." I send her a big smile as thank you.

She places a plate infront of me full of waffles and bacon and eggs. With a glass of orange juice. "No problem."

I dig in as she continues to give Danny and then Zeke, their plates.

"So I already gathered intel on the Gamma, you're in luck he is extremely cocky." I smirk at Zekes words.

Though Danny just raises his eyebrow.

"In other words he does patrol on his own." I explain as I pick up the glass of orange juice and gulp it down.

He nods at my words. "What did he do?" Danny ask to which I shrug my shoulders.

"Don't know, don't care really, the bounty is from Simon, so you know it's something....deserving," I say as I smirk at my choice of words.

"On to less torturous subjects, what are you doing for your 23 birthday?" Abigal asks causing me to shrug. My birthday is not something I celebrate, just a reminder of being kicked out. Just a reminder of the life I used to have. Plus the fact that, that day, is also a week before my birthday, makes it that much harder to celebrate.

I stand and grab my dishes and take them to the sink, rinsing them off.
"Probably a bounty or clubbing, but my birthday isn't for a couple months."
I shrug again as I readjust my bag. I kiss Abigal on the cheek and give Danny a hug as he stuffs a fork full of waffle in his mouth.

Danny and Abigal were like an uncle and aunt. Though to them, they saw me as their child. Abigal couldn't have children, so in her heart, I was hers.

"I promise I will come see you around my birthday," I state with a smile as I look back at the two, Abigal seems pleased with my answer. Zeke stands and puts his dishes in the sink as well and then comes to stand by me.

"Okay, love you Sin. Please be careful," Abigal states. I nod as I then turn and walk through the door and through the living room out the front door. Zeke right behind me.

"So where to next, partner." Zeke asks.

The question causes a laugh to erupt from my mouth. Partners are not my thing, especially with what happened last time I had a partner.

"Zeke I know you have heard the rumors," I state as I continue down the sidewalk. Every rogue knew of me, they all knew atleast one version of what happened to me.

I venture off the sidewalk and into the woods, getting ready to run. "So I can't go with you?" I roll my eyes at him.

You can not be a rogue and be needy. Shit.

"I'm not here to hold your hand Zeke, if you want to act like a pup, go back home, or find a pack to join." He growls at me calling him a pup. I roll my eyes, if you don't want to be called a pup don't act like one.

"Atleast I have a wolf." His words cause me to growl instantly as my body turns hot from the rage at the words. I turn and march to him grabbing him and throwing him at the tree.

"Look here pup, you don't fucking know me, I can take your wolf in a blink of an eye, and laugh as I watch you try and cope with not having the other part of your soul anymore." I growl out as I take a knife and push the tip of the blade where his heart is, making it bleed a little. His eyes widen, fear clouds his face as he sees the rumors of my nonexistent patience coming through.

"You are not my partner, you are not following me around like a puppy, especially making comments like that. I will kill you, bath in your blood and not give a fuck." I state with a growl.

I then drop him causing him to stumble and fall on his ass. The temper of a wolf has not left me even though my wolf has.

"I promise you, you won't last in these woods pup." I state pointing the knife at him. I then stick the knife back in its makeshift pocket on my thigh, walking away.

The nerve. The absolute nerve of him. Rogues have rules.

1) You don't ask why they became rogues.

2) You don't ask about what the rogue has done in the past.

3) Don't bring up major weakness, like the loss of a mate, loss of a child, or loss of a wolf.

You will get killed.

In fact I should have killed him, someone else will kill him soon anyway.

A growl leaves my mouth and I start picking up my pace until I'm sprinting through the woods.

I need to kill, that will make me feel better. Looks like it's time to visit a gamma.

***

I sit in the tree as I wait for the gamma to run past on patrol. I get the rope ready and look out into the woods.

My ears twitch as I hear paws hitting the floor. I smell the air and smirk at the smell of a gamma. I stand on the branch and get ready. I time it perfectly as I drop the noose and watch as the gamma runs through it. I pull as it tightens around his neck causing him to halt.

He thrashes like a wild animal as I jump down, letting him see me. He stops as he sniffs the air a growl leaves his mouth. His eyes glaze over and I smirk.

"No need in trying to contact anyone. That noose prevents you from doing that." I state as I pull the noose tighter making him growl "You can thank witches for that."

The gamma shifts into his human form standing in all his glory.

Golden brown hair kept short on the sides, maybe a finger width long on the top.

"What do you want rogue." He growls the last word out as he puffs his chest out.

"Simple, your blood on my hands," I state with an innocent smile.

He laughs at my words and I roll my eyes. "A rogue like you could never kill me, especially a female rogue."

I shrug my shoulders at his words. "See I don't exactly have to get in a big fight to kill you, it doesn't have to be heroic or fair." I state as I pull out a throwing knife from one of the pockets in my cargo pants. "I literally just need you dead, and I get paid."

His eyes widen at my words, he then glares at me. "Coward."

I shrug my shoulders "more like I just don't have time to play now " I then take the knife and as he opens his mouth to reply I throw the knife and it strikes him between the eyes. He falls to the floor.

Blood runs down his face onto the ground. I pull the knife out with a bit of resistance and then wipe the knife on his body, getting most of his blood off of it. I place it in my pocket and grab the noose from around his neck and put it back in my back pack.

Now that justice is served I feel much better.

I take the camera out of my bag and take a picture of the gamma.

In order to collect the money you have to have proof.

I put the camera back in the bag and adjust the straps. I then take off through the woods as I hear a group of paws hitting the forest floor.
