Red: Disappointments

I gaze lazily at night sky, feeling the cold evening air brush against my skin as I felt a certain degree of calmness envelope me. I instinctively pressed my right palm on my neck and felt the bite marks almost fading from my healing. I can't help but smirk. Aries made a fresh one before we part from his office to talk to Rex.

I decided not to join them this time because I'm not much into talking anyways. I prefer being out in the open fields training or fighting like any wild animal would be. Then all of a sudden, familiar eyes flashed before my mind.

I balled my left fist over the balcony's ledge as I remembered those feral eyes. I don't know what Aries saw that time but I'm sure those eyes were not from any wild animal. Those were eyes of a feral, bloodthirsty creature... A rogue.

What was a rogue doing spying on two Alphas in the woods alone? Even though it didn't attack us nor tried to assault us. I can't help but be weary about its behavior which I find odd. One wouldn't be a problem for any of us. I'm sure Aries and I can easy take down one or even ten wolves alone. But what if there were more than a couple than we could handle. That made me scared...

Fear of what could happen to Aries in such a scenario.

I just got him again, safe and secure in my arms and some damn rogue tries to take him away! It immediately made my blood boil. I'll make sure they bleed first before they could even touch a single hair on Aries' head.

I groaned as I felt my head sting from the blood rushing to my head. I need to let some pent up steam out of my system. Though another blowjob from Aries sounded nice in retrospect, it might not be a good idea to disturb him this very minute.

I looked pass the lush forest greens amidst the darkness behind Aries' pack house and decided to take a quick run to blow off some this excess steam before I talk to Aries about this matter. I don't want to blow a fuse when we talk again.

And with a blink of an eye, I was off the balcony edge falling downwards with ease and as a touch the ground the earth gave a silent thud with me crouching down. I stood up unharmed and dusted my hands and started to strip my clothes off. And soon I felt my skin shiver at the cold night air and yet I felt free like this is what I was meant to be.

I tied my clothes in a knot on a nearby tree before starting to run. The dirt touched the sole of my feet and I started to run faster than before. The air brushing against my face, the cool breeze blowing my hair backwards made me feel the freedom in the wild. As I leaped from the log that blocked my path I quickly shifted and immediately I landed on all fours. Shaking off the dirt of my fur before looking around with my chest pressed outward.

I could hear the rustling of the leaves and the small pitter patter of feet of the woodland creatures. A couple of wings flapped from the tree tops as I perked my ears. I raised my snout upwards and sniff the air, talking in the fresh atmosphere of the wild.

I shook my fur at the shivering cool air before talking a quick dash at a random direction. My paws felt the dirt of the ground touch my skin as I increased my pace. Feeling my lungs taking in more air as adrenaline rushed through my body. I swiftly dodge any rock or branch on my path as I raced towards the clearing.

A wolfish grin grace my lips as I gaze at the moon. Standing proudly on all fours as my chest rise and fall from my breathing. It's not yet that full but it was marvelous nonetheless. A sense of peace enveloped me as I looked at it.

And Aries face flashed before me and I stood surprised. But I felt a smile creeping on my lips unconsciously. He sure has changed me a lot. And not in a million years have I imagined myself falling for a man. Falling hard for him.

It wasn't all physical that made me feel attracted to Aries though I'd be lying if I don't find him scrumptious enough to eat. I licked my lips as those thoughts came to mind.

Aries was someone I never thought I find in a mate. Someone who sees beyond what is supposed to be. Someone who will care for you even in times, in all times I caused him pain. His faithfulness was awe inspiring that I sometimes felt - an inappropriate mate.

But I've seen I was wrong. Aries was someone I should treasure. I shook my head chuckling.

I was wrong moon goddess. I thought to myself. I was wrong to deny him. I see that it was me who should be accepting...

Aries and I. We. We were right for each other. Thanks for making us mates. Thank you for pairing me with the most awesome person in this planet. I couldn't be more grateful.

But could you keep this a secret between us. I looked up again at the moon. But I loved him. I love him so much it hurts seeing him part from me even for a second.

I shake my head. I must be crazy talking to the moon all of a sudden. But I felt kind of light as if a weight has been lifted off my chest.

Suddenly a foul stench caught my nose and I immediately turned back in attention. The scent is so familiar that I could only point it to only one thing, that spying fucking rogue.

My eyes scanned the trees and the shadows of the forest. I might have wandered a bit farther from Aries' land that it finally followed me here. But how foolish of it to come alone. Against an Alpha, a damn rogue is no match especially for me. I smirked.

I let a warning growl at the direction of the trees as a barred my canines menacingly. Slowly a figure emerged from the shadows and as expected, a wolf emerged, but after seeing it for the first time, caught me by surprise.

It's a rogue alright. The stench is evidence enough but the sheer size of it was a total shock. It had a dirty brownish coloring mostly from dirt and blood. It was glaring at my direction with its dead yet oddly familiar eyes.

I barred my canines viciously once again at it as I glared right back it. It wasn't barring it canines nor was growling but it was glaring at me like I was some prey. The intent on its actions were odd as it started to circle around me. Watching and staring me down.

I let out a warning growl at it followed by a snarl, telling it that I don't like the way it was looking at me. I moved the opposite direction as it continued to circle me.

I gave a threatening snarl as I jumped towards the rogue but it didn't jumped back which took me by surprise, internally. It paused and looked at me with amusement in its eyes, those lifeless, emotionless eyes made me pause and observe them. They seem very familiar. A dull, almost greyish coloring from its normal hue.

It started to press one foot after another as it slowly approached me without fear. The same glint on its dead eyes. I actually moved back, still snarling. What the hell?!

I stopped and narrowed my eyes into slits as I glared at the wolf and in a flash my entire fur were engulf in flames. The wolf stopped in its tracks and widen it's eyes, I guess from surprise.

I took it as a chance to lunge towards it and push it to the ground with my canines sinking deep into the disgusting scruff of fur. It may be bigger than me but I won't let a damn rogue's size get the best of me. I sink my teeth deeper into the skin until I tasted blood causing the rogue to trash and suddenly I felt it's hind legs kicking me back, making me hit the ground hard.

I heard it standing up so I quickly shook the shock from the impact and immediately stood up to prepare for an assault from the rogue and my eyes swiftly locked on the snarling wolf. Blood was dripping from the wound I inflicted on its neck. It looks unfazed and was snarling like a vicious, rabid beast but I didn't care. I was about to rip this rogue's throat out very soon.

It attacked as I predicted as I easily dodged it but what I didn't expect was the weight of its body thrown at my direction causing me to slide to the left harshly.

The sudden impact caused me to feel a bit dizzy as my footing started to wobble. For a damn, fucking rogue, it pack quite a punch and a vigor to boot!

I shook the dizziness away by shaking my head but before I could gather my thoughts I felt a sharp pain on my left shoulder blade as the rogue sank it's canines deep in my flesh with ease and in a blink of an eye I was flying over head, the force sending me towards the far end of the spot where we were fighting.

I felt the ground left my touch before hitting me back yard as the force managed to break a few bones on my right from the impact. I didn't even noticed that I was bleeding profusely. The red liquid coming out of me for flowed like a river. My eyelids started to get heavy.

Damn rogue! How the fuck did it manages to over an Alpha like me?!

It started to stalk towards me again as I tried to pushed my bruised and broken body up. Feeling the strain and pushing down the scrutinizing pain off my mind. I will not be bested by a damn rogue!

Not in a million, fucking, damn years!!!

A growl erupted out my chest as barely stood up a few inches away from the ground. Feeling my body being heavier than usual. I might weight a ton or two.

I felt a weight push my body abruptly causing me to hit the ground hard once more. A groan escaped my lips as I felt the pain envelope my body. My eyes shot close as the rogue's scent scorched my nostrils as I growled pathetically.

I tried to force my eyes open to glare at the damn mutt! My eyes burning with so much hate and rage I couldn't even focus on the wolf above me. Etching in my mind the very image of this bloodied dog. I growled once more trying to be more threatening but everything fell into silence as everything turned to black.

A nauseous scent was the very last sensation I remembered before surrendering to the darkness.

"Shit! Fucking moron!"

I winced at the sudden sting in my head and the wretched noise running an octave too high for my sensitive ear.

"This can't be happening! Father will be fucking mad when he..."

I felt the voice stopped speaking and I forced my eyes to open as I heard steps approaching me.

Then it happened.

The familiar stings on my skin. The sensation was brief but it was so familiar.

"Fuck!" I heard it cursed. And then a scent drifted through my nostrils that made my eyes shot wide and look at the person before me.

He had a messy black hair, no, I could see the red tinge on the tips that touched the light. As if they were rubies.

His face was painted with worry. But his eyes, so beautiful that I can't seem to avert mine of it, was also swirling in confusion. It was so bright red. Crimson even. Like blood.

I instinctively backed off and then I felt the sharp sting on my lower side.

"Fuck! You shouldn't move." I heard him say. He tried to reach for me but opted not to as he pulled his hands midway. " Try not to... You know... Move." He bit his lower lip as his cheeks turned pink on top of his tanned skin.

I know I have seen him before.

I felt my hand touched the wound and winced at the pain. I turned to look at him but once I did I shoot my gaze downwards. Feeling my cheeks heat up.

Why am I feeling this? This is wrong.

Who is this guy?!

"You... You shouldn't have crossed through the border!" He stood up, glaring towards the trees. "I could've... You could have been..." He paused.

I heard someone apologize. The voice seem to come from me. I pondered. I haven't heard that voice before.

I seem to raise my head to look up at the standing guy. His body was well defined, from his arms to his chest down to his... I felt my cheeks heat up.

Fuck! He isn't that impressive. I much bigger than him.

Where the hell am I?! Why am I'm dreaming a damn guy I haven't met before.

"Never come back." He said coldly. Though I could sense it was forced.

I heard someone called to stop him. It came from the other voice. It came from me. Not technically me but the body I seem to be at.

Have I died?

The guy stopped as I stared at his broad back and dare I say some mighty nice ass.

I heard him grunt and marched back towards me and kneeled down. And before I know it I was carried like a fucking damn bitch! But for some reason I felt those annoying electricity coursing through my body as our skins touched.

The walk was slow and annoyingly silent. The guy kept a straight face as he was trying to show that fucking poker face at me. I could tell he felt the tingles as well.

On occasions he would tighten his hold on me but loosen as soon as he felt me pressed against his skin. It doesn't matter because we are stark naked anyways.

I don't know where the hell I am right now and what freak out nightmare this is?!

I seem to have no control over my actions nor my mind. It's like watching a movie.

Fuck!

Don't tell me I'm in some person's fucking mind?!

This is fucking wrong in so many levels that it's so mess up!

We suddenly stopped. Well, he stopped walking. His arms begin to tremble and his eyes shut close. He bit his lower lip and took a deep breath in.

"Fuck!" He let's out. "This isn't working. I shouldn't have let you talk me into this!"

The voice asked why in confusion.

"Are you fucking a faggot?!" He glared at me crudely. "Didn't you heard me the firs-... Fuck!"

I felt my anger rise after calling me a faggot. If I had every control over this body, I had given him a piece of my mind a few seconds ago. But no. I'm stuck being the damn audience in this theater.

What's the point even!?

I heard the voice requested the guy to let him down and I felt him struggle against the guys arms. Tried as he might, the guy unable to hold on to the voice. And I felt myself on the ground, wobbly to stand up.

The gaze the guy was shooting me was odd. He looks like he was in pain. He tried to approach me when I stumbled back but my body reacted on its own and raised an arm to stop him.

I felt my body weakly stood up. I know the wound haven't healed yet. What caused it and why the freaking hell won't it heal already?!

My eyes look weakly at the guy again as I started to walk away. Then, I felt my legs gave up on me and I was pulled down by gravity.

I expected the hard ground to hit me once again but two arms wrapped around me as I was pulled up again. And my body pressed against that guy's chest.

"Don't fucking scare me like that! You're fucking stubborn..." I heard the guy croaked as he wrapped his around me in an embrace. He pressed his nose over my neck and took a deep sniff.

The voice reasons out and my body grabbed the guys shoulder as my arms weakly tried to push his body away from the guy but it didn't succeed.

"I didn't like one bit you know. I didn't expect seeing you today and find out you being...a guy." The guy glares as he quickly averted his eyes away from. "It's not like that. Well, in a way it is. Your a guy. I don't know what to do."

I heard the voice groan but my body leaned over and shocked me by sniffing in his scent. The annoying tingles still prickling my skin.

"Sorry." The guy started.

The voice looked at him, surprised maybe. It seems this body belongs to this voice.

"For this." He looks down. "And this."

He points to the wound. The voice spike something about letting it slide or something and him living through it.

"What the hell has gone through your fucking mind and ..." He glares back but my eyes was already drowsily shutting close. And before, once again, the darkness envelopes my sight. The last thing I saw was a glimpse of the guy's faint smile.

I felt a pang of pain radiating through my head that immediately cause me to snap my eyes open. I reached for my head with my right hand trying to ease the pain away.

In my dilemma, I didn't noticed the figure staring blankly at me. It was when the pain started subsiding that I noticed the stench of the rogue.

I quickly raised my guard up as my eyes shot straight at the direction of the wolf. But what I thought I'd be seeing, a huge feral beast, stood a man.

He was looking at me with those faded, blank eyes that seem to read my soul. Just like how Aries does when he -

"Aries." The man mouthed, his finger flinched for a second.

I narrowed my eyes at it. I can't let it read my mind! I backed off from it as its eyes followed my movements without the urge to follow me.

Soon my back hits a wall. I crouched down, ready to strike when I found myself in clothes. They maybe ragged and torn but I was fully clothed and my wound... My hand immediately touched my side and felt a bandage wrapped around my torso.

I was surprised. It can't be this rouge that clothed and patched me up. Then again the rogue seemed to be clothed, well, the waist down that is.

A sound of laughter broke my train of thought and my eyes narrows at the chuckle rogue. Though he seem laughing but the tone and feel like they were forced or the very least lifeless. As if he's laughter is dead as his half dead soul.

"It's even more painful as I remembered." The man spoke monotonously. Clutching his fist over his chest as his nails draw blood over his skin.

"I didn't know rogues can still speak properly." I spat, trying my best to assess the situation. The place I seem to be at looks like a room, no windows nor doors.

"You would like to know." The man grinned, the wound on his chest now fully healed. He eyed me again with his dead eyes. "It seems..." He paused. "...no. You can't be that bright."

I glared at the man at his remark as I barred my canines, ready to strike. I found a glimpse of an opening and it's behind the rogue.

"Heh. Let's quit this damn chitchat." I scowled as straightened up. It may take awhile to escape this room with this guy able to read minds. Fighting won't be at my disadvantage as well. "Why the fucking shit did you kidnapped me?!"

"Kidnap..." The man spoke. "I'm just taking what's mine." He approaches with a step and I immediately leaped forward but he was faster than me and with a swing of his left arm, the rogue sent my back at the wall.

I drop immediately on the floor with a thud. The debris of stone and cement clutter the the already cluttered floor. I crouched up and glared at the man, ignoring the wound on my side which started to bleed again.

"Is... Is that the best you could do?" I smirked.

The rogue approached me in a steady pace as I slowly raised my body to a kneeling position with my left hand holding my bloody side.

I can't let myself be bested by a damn rogue twice! I huffed and slowly pushed my legs to stand up. My eyes still trained menacingly at the rogue.

"Stop fighting." The man spoke as he grabbed my neck in a flash, pinning me towards the wall. His fingers clasps tighter on my neck as I instinctively grabbed his arm to yank it off but to no avail as I seem to lose strength every second.

"Fuck. You." I cussed.

"You still had that foul mouth after all this years..." The man mused, his hold on my neck slightly loosen, leaving my lungs a breath of air. I heaved instantly as I coughed out blood the very second air entered my throat. "... Amusing."

"I... I don't know..." I glared at the man. "...what you're talking about. But you don't know shit about me."

"You haven't aged..." He started. Reaching out his hand to touch my face at which I jerked away.

"Don't you fucking touch me!" I warned. "Unless you want those fingers ripped off your fucking hand."

"..." He remained silent for a moment until he released me suddenly, dropping to the floor. He looked down at me with a blank face.

"Fucking shit!" I pushed my back to the wall. I started to breath hard, taking lungful of air a second while glaring at the rogue. "I'm going to rip you-"

The rogue gave a lightning fast kick to my stomach that made me blackout instantly.

"You're just a disappointment my dear L-"
