RECAP:
I slowed to a walk as I sat on the nearest bench and cried as I let my broken heart break even more. I pulled my exposed knees up to my chest and layed my head on my legs. I felt like I was dying on the inside. I couldn't believe what just happened. How did it turn to this? Oh yeah, Castiel.
My heart clenched at the thought of him. How could he do this to me? I was so caught up in my own self pity, that I didn't even hear the footsteps approaching me. I felt a small tap on my shoulder and looked up to see a guy about my age with familiar blonde hair and golden like eyes. "Nathaniel?" I sniffled. "Hey, Rose. What's wrong?" I asked quietly as he sat next to me on the cold, hard bench. He looked at me and pulled me into his arms. I sobed and told him the whole story, after all, he is a werewolf. I found out he was the peacekeeper in his pack, but the same rouge pack wiped out all of his pack, but he made it out. He had three long scars on his back to prove it when I didn't believe him.
I don't know when, but I soon feel into a deep sleep on Nate's chest. I couldn't help but feel like I was somehow betraying Castiel as I did this...
NOW:
I groaned loudly as I heard my noisy alarm go off, telling me it was time to get up. To shut the annoying thing up, I lazily threw my hand over the snooze button. I slowly sat up and my hand instantly went to my pounding head. I once again groaned as I threw the covers off, exposing my long, tan legs. I shivered as a cool breeze blew through my room.
With a pounding headache, I looked around my room and wondered how I got there. A sudden rush of memories flowed through my mind and my heart clenched as I remembered Castiel kissing Amber. I still couldn't quite wrap my head around it, even though I saw it with my own two eyes.
I sighed as I got up and shuffled towards my bathroom. I stepped through my door, make sure it was shut up behind me, turned the shower on, and quickly undressed before stepping into the cool shower. The warm water rained down on my face, hiding the silent tears that also snuck down my face.
I cried for the pain I felt when I saw him kiss Amber. I cried for my granny. I cried for my best friend, who's life was stolen from her. And I cried for my parents. I missed the sweet smile of my mom. I missed the way she could light up a room by just walking in. Her laughter that was contagious and most of all, the way she would sing me to sleep. And my dad... I missed the way he played with me, always rough, but never too rough. His hugs that practically swallowed me whole. But what I miss most of all was the way he would always stick up for me, even when I was wrong. I missed them so much, it was beyond words.
Once my tears ran dry, I quickly washed my hair and body before stepping out of the shower. I dried off and ran to my dresser, pulling out a red tank top, some black skinny jeans, my red cloak, and some combat black boots. I quickly threw them on and dashed through the hallway, down the stairs, and into the filled kitchen.
"Hey little sis!" Derek smiled as I hopped onto the bar stool. "Hey." I grunted in response. "Well, someone's on a good mood." Austin muttered from the stool next to me as Derek shoved a plate of eggs, bacon, and pancakes towards me. I growled lowly at Austin before shoveling the delicious food into my mouth.
"Hmmm. You know," Tyler begin as he walked through the kitchen door, "I wonder why, at two in the morning, I answered the door to see a blonde boy holding you, my little sister, in his arms, wanting to carry you to your bed." I instantly froze and silently stared at my half eaten pancakes. "Mind explaning that to me?" I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I sat frozen. "Oh, this just got very interesting." Jewls whispered to Derek, who was staring intently at me. I growled lowly at Jewls, obviously trying to avoid the question.
'Does this involve Castiel?' Derek asked through our mind link. As a response, I nodded slightly. He growled threateningly, but I knew it was not at me. Tyler seemed to notice this and growled,"What are you not telling me, Rose?" I slowly brought my lifeless eyes up to meet Tyler's angry ones. He looked shocked and then pissed off. "Who hurt you, Rose?" He asked with a hidde threat behind his voice. "Was it that blonde kid? It was, wasn't it? Oh, just wait 'till I get my hands on him. He'll pay for- " "It wasn't him." my small voice interrupted his long threat. "So, someone did hurt you." He breathed hotly. I nodded slightly and tried to fight back the tears that threatened to rain down on my face.
Realization soon took over his face as a small gasp escaped his lips, "You've found your mate, haven't you?" he asked, just barley above a whisper. I hesitantly nodded my head. He took in a huge breath and slowly walked towards me. He pulled my chin up so that I looked him dead in the eye, and he asked, "Who?" My face turned into a painful expression as I remembered Castiel. "I can't tell you." I manage to say just above a whisper. "Why not?" he asked softly. "Because you'll kill him." "No matter who it is, I promise I won't hurt him because I know that will be hurting you." he said reassuringly. I sighed and gave up. "He's ... He's the leader of the Blood pack.." I whispered. I looked up to see shock plastered on my older brother's face.
I took this as an opportunity to leave as I made a dash for the front door. As I began to approach it, I could hear my brothers trying to catch up with me. I turned the knob and threw the door open before sprinting into the woods. Fear began to take over my body as realization began to set in. Since Tyler was alpha, it was his job to know every other alpha in the county. Which meant he knew who the alpha was in the Blood pack. I began to run towards the school in hope to stop Tyler from breaking his promise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's seventh period and my heart is beating a mile a minute. I haven't seen Castiel or Tyler at all today and it's starting to get to me. I let out a frustrated sigh as the bell rang, signaling me to go to my next class. As I began to pack my stuff up, I thought I saw a figure out of the corner of my eye, but brushed it off as my overactive imagination.
I got up and walked towards the door, when I began to hear faint breathing. I stopped instantly in my tracks and spun around, although my instincts were screaming at me not to. A large hand slapped over my mouth, muffling my screams, as soon as I turned around. My wolf was howling at me to let her take over and rip him to shreds, but rage soon turned to lust as the familiar tingles began to spread through my hole body. I quickly jerked away and began to glare at Castiel, trying to control my now racing heart.
"What are you doing here?" I growled lowly, the memories flashing in my head. Worry began to slowly take over me as I looked him up and down. His fiery red hair was rustled, as if he's been running his hands through them and had bags under his eyes indicated that he didn't sleep, but he still managed to make my whole face warm up. His grey eyes where looking at me, a storm just waiting to rain down his face.
"I'm here because-" he sighed deeply and walked towards me. With every step he took towards me, I countered it. But soon enough, my back hit the cold, hard wall, trapping me. He came closer, and closer, and closer, until he was just a breath away. "Because I didn't kiss her, she kissed me." He whispered, his hot breath fanning my face. Although my wolf was screaming at me to believe him, my mind was telling me he was lying. I mean, I walked in to them to them practically sucking faces! He was obviously kissing her! I wanted to believe my mind, but when I looked into his eyes, I could tell he wasn't lying. This time I sided with my wolf.
Note to self: Get back at Amber later.
"I-I believe you." I stuttered, his face still merely a breath away. My whole body was tingling from how close our bodies were. His eyes slowly made their way to my lips, to my eyes, and then to my lips once again. He slowly began to lean in, but hesitantly stopped just as our lips were about to meet. My wolf was going insane. She wanted him right here, right now. He sighed with his head down a took several steps away from me. I stared up at him in confusion. He looked up at me, his eyes a mix of emotions, and without any warning, he left the room.
I took in a deep breath of air and just looked at the door. What in the world just happened?
I sighed as I once again picked up my stuff and rushed to the door, cheeks flushed and heart beating a mile a minute. As I walked through, my body collided with another, making my things fall out of my arms and onto the floor. I was about to join them when a strong hand caught me by the arm. I was about to tell that person to get their meaty hands off me and watch where their going, but stopped short when I looked to see who it was.
"Hey, sorry about that." Nate smiled down at me. I opened my mouth, trying to find the words to say something, then closed it, making myself look like a deranged goldfish. He just chuckled and bent down to pick up my stuff.
As he bent to get my things, I couldn't help but admire him. How his white button up shirt clung to his defined arms. How sweet, kind, and gentle he is. The way he smiles at you. I was about to continue, but I could feel my wolf growling at me. He's not ours, remember that. She was right. I wasn't his. I was Castiel's. The pack enemy. I sighed in frustration. Why does it have to be the pack enemy. I was so caught up in my own thoughts, that I almost forgot about Nate.
He soon gathered all of my things in his arms and handed them back to me. "Thanks." I mumbled. He chuckled, a deep laugh that was contagious. "No problem. Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a short run together." I thought this over for a minute before nodding. After a brief thought of him being a were, I began to wonder something. "Hey. Just out of curiosity, who's pack are you in?" I looked up into his golden eyes that began to sofen. "I'm not in one." A gasp slipped through my lips. I never pictured Nate being a rouge. "Well...If you want, you could always join my pack." I quietly suggested as I looked down. I felt a warm hand grab my chin and lift my head up. We stared into eachothers eyes for awhile before he smiled. "I would love that." I broke out into a grin. "Okay, then whenever we go for a run, I'll talk to Tyler-" I stopped mid sentence as I thought of this morning. "Hey, Rose? Is something wrong?" he asked as he looked into my eyes, as if they would tell him what's wrong. I put it to the back of my mind for now and just smiled up at him. Nope. Nothing I can't handle. I'll talk to my borther about it tommorrow. See you 'till then." And with that, I turned on my heel and headed off to eighth period.

Castiels POV
I threw the school's front doors wide open and stormed through. I couldn't keep him in for much longer. He was just scratching to get out and either go claim her or go for a run. With what little control I had, I managed to make it to the woods. As soon as I stepped into the tree lining, I let him out. I needed this run. I was on the brink of claiming her, and I knew she wasn't ready for it.
My paws pounded against the calming green grass as I ran. I didn't know where I was going, and I didn't care. I needed time to think things over and get control over my wolf. I didn't want to do something stupid that I know I would regret. A sudden growl ripped through my throght as I ran faster.
I knew where I needed to be: by her side. And I would be there, if it weren't for Amber. She claims were mates, but she just has a petty crush on me. I've tried, and tried, and tried to get it through her stupid blonde head that I don't like her, but she just doesn't listen. But Rose said she believed me, and that's all I needed to hear. My mind went back to that night as I ran deeper and deeper into the forest.
"I-I'm going to g-go get a d-drink. she stuttered. I knew I was getting to her, and I loved it. I don't think I'll ever get used to how this girl makes me feel. She turned on her heel and walked over to the kitchen, little hips swaying with every move.
As soon as Rose stepped into the kitchen, Amber happened to walk towards me. "Hey, cutie." she smiled seductivly. "What do you want?" I growled threatingly. "Want me to be honest? All I want is a kiss. On the lips." I laughed at her but stopped when she offered me something I would love. "Just give me one kiss and I'll leave you alone. Forever." I thought abought this for a brief moment. If I just gave her one stupid kiss, she'd leave me alone. Which would mean I would be able to be with Rose without a little pest. So,hesitantly I nodded and she began to lean in.
She kissed me roughly and I unemotionally responded. She didn't seem to like that and kissed me harder, more demanding. I didn't like to be orderd around, so I responded more roughly, more in control. I could hear footsteps approach us and I abrubtly stopped the kiss. I turned my head and my whole body instantly went into shock.
Rose stood there, tears threating to pour down her face. My wolf instantly growled at me for making her feel that way and I kicked myself for even doing this. "Rose-" I began as I tried to explain what just happened, but stopped."Don't." she chocked out as she moved out of my reach. Not even a second later did she run out the door,tears pouring down her face.
'Now you've done it.' my wolf growled.
I came to a stop as I realized where I was: at Rose's house. I began to think about what to do. After a moment, I figured it'd be best to just keep a close eye on her, but from afar for now. I turned and headed back into the woods. I knew where she would know where to find me if she needed to. I began to walk towards the clearing where I would wait. Because I'm not going anywhere without her. Not now, and not ever.
