I woke up and looked at the clock, 7:45. Breakfast will be in about and 30 minutes.

I didn't bother taking a shower. My body still hurt from last night. Last night.... I wish I would've gotten her name.

I don't think I could ever forgive myself for what I did. Her face... Like it was a blessing that I killed her. She looked so at peace.

But that still doesn't make it better. I killed an innocent. I could feel my throat tightening and I didn't want to cry anymore. I was tired of crying.

So I wiped the little tears that were about to fall and decided to get ready. I threw on some jeans, and a black and white tank top that said "fries before guys" it always made me smile.

I put on some converse, mascara, eye liner and some red lipstick. I pushed my hair down and finally brushed my teeth. My lips was still busted and I still had scratches.

I guess I'll just have to avoid eye contact. Hear goes nothing.

I headed downstairs but before I could, I saw a note on my floor.

"Eyes that hear, and ears that speak. Some want the truth but do not let them seek. Stop the questions now for they will not get, what happened early morn is a secret." - go to the teacup restaurant at 9. At 9:30 There will be a package delivered to you. Wait for further instructions. - Unknown.

A secret. I hate lying to them. To everyone. I crumbled the paper and threw it in the box under my bed. I grabbed my purse, helmet, and keys.

I walked down the stairs and I can hear everyone talking. I smelled Braxton and I know he can smell me too. Great. I walk into the dinning room but don't look up.

"I'm leaving. I'll be back later on." I go to take a step in the other direction but my father stops me.

"Evangeline."

I don't turn around but I answer.

"Yes?"

"Look at me."

"Dad, I really have to go."

"Now, Evangeline."

I slump my shoulders in defeat and turn towards my father. I finally look at him and he's out of his seat.

"What on earth happened to you?"

"I.... I... Nothing. It's nothing." I take my face out of his hands but he just holds on tighter this time.

"You will tell me!"

"Evangeline? Are you in some type of trouble? Because we can help you."

I look at James and then to Braxton who's slightly shaking.

"I'm fine. I just... I got into an argument with Nate and I left to run the perimeter. I stepped outside of it and I fought off a rogue. It's nothing."

I wasn't lying. I did run, and I did fight off a rogue. She was a rogue but I know it wasn't by choice.

"Is this true Nathaniel?"

Nate looked up at my father and stood.

"Yes."

"How long was she gone for?"

"About 11 hours."

"And I'm barely finding this out now.!?"

"It is none of your concern. What Eva and I went through is between us."

"She is my daughter! Your sister! it is my business!"

"ENOUGH!" I yelled a little to loud since it hurt enough to make me wince at my sides.

I grabbed onto my side to make the throbbing stop. Everyone was looking so worried that the guilt was unbearable. But they can't know.

"Look, I don't have time for this. For once you all need to stop and worry about yourselves. I'm leaving. I have somewhere else to be. If you will excuse me."

"Eva wait..." Nate came to me but I backed up. It was a reflex, I was kind of scared because of last night.

"I shouldn't have said those things to you last night. "

"No. I'm glad you did. Maybe you're right. I am naive. I brought a rogue to the pack house and that was my mistake. Although it did get you a mate. And I am careless. Although I saved a child from being killed. And yes, I am idiotic but that's for thinking you all cared. Clearly I was wrong. But you were right. Maybe my mate doesn't want me because of those things. But none of you can hate me more than I hate myself."

With that, I walked out the door and straight to my bike. I checked the time. 8:50. Dammit.

I hurried towards the teacup restaurant and parked my bike. I got out and saw that there was a table reserved.

"Can I help you?"

I looked towards the lady and nodded my head.

"Yea uhhh... Reservation for Evangeline?"

The lady opened the little book of reservations and nodded her head.

"Here you are dear, right one time. Please follow me."

She led me to the booth and I slid in. Setting my helmet next to me as I waited patiently.

"Anydrink to start you off with?"

"Can I get a strawberry lemonade please?"

"Of course you can. Be right up. Here are your menus and let me know when you're ready to order. "

She set the menus down in front of me and left. My stomach growled and I figured I might as well eat.

The waitress came back and handed me my strawberry lemonade.

"Here you go sweetie! Now, you ready to order? "

"Yes. Can I get 3 chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, sausage, and toast on the side please?"

"Yes you can, anything else?"

"No that's it."

"Great, be back in a little."'

She took my menu and left. I looked around the diner and I saw families, couples; old and young, and students coming in doing homework while eating.

It was a classy little place. I took out my phone to see I had text messages from Ariana, and the girls.

"Why don't you answer?"

"What Nate said was wrong and totally out of line."

"We all care for you."

"When are you coming home? We need to talk."

"Going dress shopping want to come?"

"We're leaving in 10 if you change your mind."

"Guess you're not coming. See you later then."

"Come home Eva." That one was from Alex.

I didn't bother replying to any of their text messages. I just left it at that.

"Here you are sweetie." She placed the food on he table and it smelt delicious.

"Thank you." She smiled at me and left.

I started to eat my pancakes and boy were they good! I sat peacefully at the booth until someone decided to sit across from me.

Braxton.

I looked at him and looked around the diner to make sure no one saw him come.

"You need to leave."

"Why are you sneaking around?"

"Braxton, leave."

I kept looking around and checked my phone. 9:25.

"Guess again beautiful. "

Rider. It's rider!

'Rosie!"

'Rider has taken control. You're up. He needs to leave.'

I so did.

"Hello."

"Ahhh she speaks. What aren't you telling. I've felt what you've felt. And I must say I know something is wrong. Tell me, or I will tell your father. We both know secrets are not to be tolerated."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm meeting a friend. You should leave, now."

But he sat there with crossed arms and stared at me. God, he's going to get Emily killed.

So Rosie played it cool. She grabbed my fork and started to eat but She made marks into my pancakes.

She wrote 'later' on my pancake and hoped he would look at it. But he didn't.

"You've been very secretive. But why? What are you hiding?"

"I have a mate. Leave me alone."

That pissed him off since he got up but not before whispering

"I smell fear on you Evangeline."

I saw him get into his car and leave. It's 9:31 and I don't feel like eating.

"Thanks Rosie. Switch back."

I pushed my plate that I had in front of me, away. If they saw me talking to Braxton then they could kill Emily.

I was about to get up when a little girl came up to me.

"Excuse me? Can you help me find my mommy? I think she went to the restroom but I'm scared to go by myself."

The little girl looked to be about 7 or 8 with Raven black hair and brown eyes.

"Sure. Come on let's go check in here."

I got up, took her hand and led her to the restroom.

"Do you see her feet?"

The little girl didn't bother to look and just took out a big Manila folder from under her shirt.

"He's not happy with you right now. Here are your instructions. Be safe."

And before I could say anything, she was gone.

I went inside a stall and took out the piece of paper and a rose.

" 3908 Hill side venue. There's a shed. Open it and then follow the next instruction."

I took a deep breath and put the paper back into the envelope.

I walked out of the restroom threw a 50 dollar bill on the table, grabbed my stuff and left.

I hopped on my bike and headed towards the venue. It was deep inside the woods. Only reason some of us know about it is because there's a rumor.

In that shed are tools. Tools that were used to kill, and rape women. Legend goes that their spirits are held captive there by a spell. Since one of the women killed there was a witch.

Now, every time someone goes they never come back out. It's a legend alright but there were times where Danny and I came and we heard screams. We thought someone was getting raped but when we arrived no one was there.

We were pretty freaked out so we left. We never came back here again.

It's been about 45 minutes and I could start smelling this awful smell. A mixture of wet dog and like something died.

Then I remembered. This is no mans land. Rogues come here to socialize and do what they do. This is unmarked territory. If I die, no will ever know.

"Rosie I kind of need your help here."

"Thanks Rosie. I need them now though."

And just like that I could see, hear, and smell better. My senses heightened when I finally became a wolf. But they're more heightened when I have Rosie helping me.

I saw the shed come into view and I was finally in front of it. I turned off my bike, and left my helmet of my handles.

The shed was an ugly old brown looking thing. The paint was chipping off, there were holes in a lot of places, it smelled horrible, and it was surrounded by dead grass.

I walked towards the door and peeked inside the hole. I couldn't see anything, so I figured I might as well get this over with.

I grabbed the door and flung it opened, making sure the light from outside was shining on the inside and now I could see, and all I wanted to do was cry.

I fell to my knees and I could feel the stinging of the Unshed tears. There in the middle of the shed were kids. All of them... Murdered.

They couldn't be any older than 10. Two twin girls were holding each other as they laid there...... Lifeless.

"Pretty? Aren't they?"

I turned towards the voice and it was unknown.

"What... What did you do?"

"For a smart girl you're pretty naive. I saw you at the diner with Alpha Braxton. Makes me wonder why he cares so much for you. Is he your mate Evangeline?"

If he finds out Braxton is he'll go after him for sure. So I lied.

"No. He's not. He's- he's just an Alpha that likes me. W-why did you do this? "

I felt a tear escape from my eye but I made no moves to wipe it away.

"Because ... I'm good on my threats, that's why. Don't think I didn't see that later carved into your food. "

I didn't answer. Because I knew why he did it now.

"You killed them? Because of me?"

"No. YOU killed them because of YOU! I've been very nice to you, and then you try to play me as a fool. So, this is your punishment."

I didn't say anything. I just starred at all the lifeless bodies that I caused. That because of me, their mates won't get to be with them. They won't have children, nor grandchildren. They won't get to know what having a family is about.

"You sick bastard."

Smack!

I fell to the floor and was pulled up by my hair. The sting from my cheek hurt like hell.

"It could have been worse! I could've made it all painfully slower, the torture longer, and I could've had the girls to myself. But I decided, being the gentlemen I am, I wasn't going to do it. "

He threw my head and started to walk towards the bodies.

"Now here is your next instructions. Each of these children have a note inside one of their pockets. You are to to look for that note. On said note are their names, rank, and pack name. You are to deliver their bodies to their territory. But you are to NOT get caught! just drop them off by the boundaries and wait for someone to find them. And you are to WATCH when their family finds them. I will know wether you left early and didn't stay. Understood?"

"Why? Why do I have to watch?"

There had to be about 20 kids here. 20 lost souls a cruel, evil, and vindictive man took.

He walked towards me and lifted up my chin with his fingers.

"So you can see the pain YOU caused by not following my rules."

He let go of my chin and I slumped my shoulders. I don't want to do this. I look up and see that all the kids have blood, cuts, and scratches all on them. But I know that's not what killed them.

"Wolfs bane. A certain dose can kill them instantly. They didn't suffer...... Much."

I can't imagine all the pain he caused... Just to prove a point.

"Get started. And Don't take too long. Don't want your family to worry now, do we?

With that he left. And I got to work.
