Chapter 2 ROUGE

~6 years later ~

EMILY

'Dad~no!..Dad?

'Dad, don't go, plea~se' I kept mumbling.

'Emily, wake up. Wake up it's just a dream'.

Arrgh!, not again!!

'I'm up' I said tapping my mom's hand to make her believe I was awake.

'Breakfast is ready' she replied and with that she was gone

I turned around to make sure she closed the door while rubbing my eyes. It wasn't a surprise that I dreamt about that night, I've had the same dream every night for the past six years. It was my nightmare.

I stood up lazily dragging myself to the bathroom, if there was something I hated, it's definitely waking up. Like why do I even have to wake up?. I'm literally useless. There's nothing much I could do for Mom or Matteo.

I look at my reflection on the mirror, dark cycles under my eyes, my wavy black hair looks like I was in some fight with a crazy woman plus my skin looks so pale.

'Damn!~ I look so sick', I whispered spitting out toothpaste from my mouth.

I rinsed my mouth after brushing, washed my face and took a towel to take a bath.

After taking a bath, I get dressed in Matteo's clothes, I don't really leave the house much so I'm literally always putting on Matteo's clothes.

As a matter of fact Mom makes me wear Matteo's clothes and disguise myself as a boy.

'Son of a bit*h', I cursed under my breath.

'Mom!!, I'm out of lotion', I yelled so she could hear me from up there.

Our house is a little bungalow, not too decorated.

Mom found it when we were on the run from a group of werewolves who thought we were planning to raid them.

I live in the basement of our house while Matteo and Mom lives in the main building. It has always been like this,every house we end up in Mom always keeps me locked up like I'm some prisoner.

'Its for your best baby, we are trying to protect you ' is what she says everytime I ask her why I'm not allowed to be free like Matteo.

Yeah,of course I know we are not safe. I mean we're literally always on the run but I also want to experience life a little just like Matteo.

I want to go out to the store, buy my own clothes and shoes, meet people and make friends.

I also want to find my mate.

I want to understand Mom but the fact that Matteo is allowed to be so free makes it hard for me.

After Dad and our whole pack was gone, Mom became sick, she struggled a lot as losing a mate has a big effect on werewolves.

There was no one to console or support her as the members of our pack who survived that night went to join other werewolf packs.

Mom refused the offer claiming that if it wasn't our pack then she wasn't joining any other pack.

So we became ROGUES.

She raised us alone since then. She's literally all we've got.
