The Forgotten Child

Chapter 29

"There's a rouge on the border! He isn't responding to anyone! They need me there! Noah with me," he said his eyes serious as he rushed towards the door to put his shoes on. 

"Can.. can I come?" Alyson said as she stood as soon as the words came out of his mouth. He paused for a moment she could see he really wanted to tell her no. 

"Please? If I'm supposed to be the alpha I need to be there for stuff like this to learn!" she said as she begged him. He sighed heavily then nodded. Alyson flew off to grab her gear. When she left the room Mathew turned to Noah and gave him a serious glare.

"Keep an eye on her. Make sure no one lays a hand on her. She's still a pup in our world," Mathew said as he searched Noah's face.

Noah didn't flinch at his words or serious look. "Yes, Alpha, but she doesn't need my guardship. She's capable," Noah said tone was demeaning towards his Alpha and sure towards Alyson. 

"I know but I don't trust this rouge. he's in human form. He's not acting like any were we've seen. He looks like a zombie. He keeps on walking with empty eyes. he dodges all of our attacks easily, like he knew what we were going to do, Marshall is already giving me reports," Mathew said his eyes as he glanced around to make sure Alyson wasn't in hearing distance. 

"Sounds like he's here for another reason," Noah said as he sighed softly, Alyson bounded around the corner and hopped down next to them as she jumped over the railing like her dad did.

"Let's go boys! Kai's going to stay here he still need to learn the area," She said, she thought their hesitation was for them to wait on Kai instead of her sudden appearance. 

"Wait you don't know where you're even going Alyson!" Mathew said as she chased his daughter. 

"Than hurry up so you can show me the way!" She said as she hopped around as she ran towards the tree lines. Mathew huffed at her. They still needed to transform. 

"You need to relax!" Noah snapped her hyper energy made him nervous. She rolled her eyes but slowed down.

"Jeez, you guys are slow!" she said as she went into a casual walk. 

"We've  got to transform," Mathew said his tone weary and tired. She huffed but nodded. She waited for them to leave and transform. She searched the camp to see if anyone else was headed towards the problem area. She saw Violet's familiar dark wolf running past her. She was a breath away from following Violet, but then remembered her dad had told her to stay put. So, she did despite her want to case after Violet. Alyson had no way to read their minds yet, so she would only be able to read body language. 

Soon both boys came back out and looked at her expectantly. "Oh, now I'm the slow one?" she huffed then followed them out. Noah ran to pace with her. When they got there Alyson skidded to a stop and looked at the rouge.

"Mason?" she said her voice trembled as she looked at the white haired rouge. At her words the rouge turned toward her his eyes glazed over and dead looking. It sent a shiver down her spine. This wasn't a wolf or a skinwalker, this was a person. 

He looked at her and started coming closer to her. She backed up her will to fight him decreased with every step. She tried to look to the others for help but found herself alone in the forest. The others had simply disappeared. She continued to back away from him her body shook from something other than just fear.

"What...what do you want?" she asked nervously. As soon as her words went into the air his eyes lost their glaze and became clear and radiant. They're purple hue had her nervous with their intensity.
