Chapter 19

Alex’s POV

The moment my father took away Blaise I decided to get away from that one problem and go solve another one that had been waiting for me in the room in front of mine. 

so here I stand in front of the door about to knock when I hear a loud thud. 'oh brother...'

I open the door to find GeovanI pinned to the wall by no one other than Patrick the rogue from before. GeovanI turns to look at me terrified of the rogue in front of him.

Patrick on the other hand seems amused by my sudden appearance. he smiles and turns towards me as he fixes his tie.

"I won't even ask how you were able to get in here undetected." I say sitting down on the bed.

"aww but it's such a great story" he says walking closer to me.

"judging by that get up, I'm sure it is," I say looking at his outfit. its a pair of black dress pants with a dark purple dress shirt with short sleeves. literally. his shirt practically looks like a muscle shirt. it lets him show off his muscles and his abs perfectly. 

I'm quite surprised he can breathe since it looks so tight. not to mention his black tie. I could say he was heading to a club to drink and party.

"look I'm not in the mood to play with you" I stand up from the bed and he mocks me by putting on a fake hurt expression. "you know if you weren't such a creep I think we would have made great friends." I say crossing my arms.

he smiles "what if I want to be more than friends?" he asks walking forward.

I chuckle "that would have worked about a week ago but now, not at all"

"and whys that?" he asks mockingly.

"because I'm a loyal woman, but if you still want to play I can give you the key to jail cell. there's a girl there that I don't like since she tried to touch something of mine but, I'm not evil enough to leave her suffering from her needs. why don't you go and satisfy her."

"so you found your mate huh?" he grins with a glint of evil in his eyes "is that why you left suddenly that night?"

"yeah" I suddenly realize I'm having a normal conversation with a rogue. 

'Alex are you crazy?'

I sigh "you should leave now." I say walking towards the kid as he grabs my wrist.

"no way in hell" he brings out his sharp teeth at me. "do you know how valuable he is? how rare?"

"let go Patrick and leave while I'm still in a good mood."

"no!" he screams and I grab his arm with my right hand.

"let go!" I scream in anger and suddenly he begins to scream as I let go and he lets go of me.

"what the hell? how did you-" he looks at my right hand with the mark and I look at his arm. his arm is burned up in the place where I held him. it looks like something silver can do to a werewolf but worse.

"I'm sorry I don't know how" I look at my hand but its perfectly normal.

"when did you get that?" he asks pointing at my arm.

"just today." I look at GeovanI who looks terrified. I close my hand and make it into a fist. "you should-"

"in the kingdoms dungeon." he interrupts "I have a sister there." he kneels. "please get her out of there. ill leave the kid alone. ill make sure no one ever tries to get near him just please."

'well this is unexpected.'

'just shut up and listen' Ruth speaks.

'oh look who finally decides to show up'

'I've been here but I can't speak to you forever. after all, since you found your mate I'm slowly becoming you.'

" what? but your a rogue, rogues don't have families?" I say in pure shock.

"that's one thing about you people in packs I hate. just because I'm a rogue it doesn't mean I wanted to be one to begin with." Patrick says as he looks up at me with a scowl in his face.

"Alex-" my dad comes inside of the room and my breathing becomes hasty. 'shit what now?'

"what is he doing here?!" my father screams as I walk towards the wall. 

"dad its fine he won't hurt anybody." I look at Patrick who looks tense. I look down at his burn with regret and I look at my father.

"take him to the pack doctor to heal his arm. I accidentally burned it." he looks at me with a questioning look "don't ask just take him."

"and after that?" he asks confused "you want me to give him a room?" he asks mockingly.

"yes. put him on the room next to this one." I look at Patrick as he looks at me confused "you'll be making sure that this kid is safe at all times."

"what? no! I'm not babysitting!" he yells.

"you want me to do a favor for you and you cant do this simple favor as a payment?" he swallows. "make sure he gets some clean clothes as well. ill be taking him with me and the kid when I go to the castle." I close my eyes and breathe in and out.

my father leaves pulling Patrick out of the room as he glares at him. 'oh boy'

I turn to look at GeovanI as he looks at my right arm. "it's your choice." he looks up at me "you can face your problems and come with me or run away from them."

he looks at me now. "how exactly will I face my problems?" he asks with a serious expression.

"if you come I will get rid of that law that demands the death of your kind. you will stand beside me and I will protect you." I look at the kid in front of me who is practically twelve years old but I'm already making him make a big decision. I feel guilty knowing that I'm not helping him, I'm only pushing him forward but it's all I can do for him now. "many will oppose and your life will be in danger but many of your kind will be given a chance."

"a chance to do what?" 

"to fight back. to prove themselves equal to the rest of us in the wolf society." he looks up at me and I smile.

I smile because I see a fire in his small black eyes. a fire that I love to call 'Determination'.
