《From Rejected to Rogue》Chapter 4
Advertisement
Honestly? There is only so much somebody can take! After giving countless threats to Jax and telling him he's a d!ck Darius has the nerve to ask me to move back in?! How many people are looking to piss me off today! Honesty I was shocked.
"Excuse me? Did I just hear you right?" I asked glancing at Lexi who was staring wide eyed at Darius and looking between both of us.
"Yes, I asked you to come back in with us." You're joking? What is this?! Mock the she-wolf day?
"You're a f*cking- "
'Wait!' I looked at my Honey bee who's voice rang in my head.
'Seriously? You can't be considering-"
'Think about it-"
"I am and I don't like it one bit! They never treated us right and I'm not looking forward to being in this pack again. They are only asking because we look different Lexi I don't want you getting hurt."
Darius pipped in as if reading our minds and seeing our nervousness. "There is a house that is a couple yards from the pack house that we built last year for permanent guests or anybody in need of a place to stay, You can stay there you won't be considered part of the pack. Not yet anyway." He then turned and gestured inside so we can make up our minds. Unfortunately something was telling me I didn't have a choice and I was fighting my wolf who decided to go all mushy and wanted to stay. I didn't like the last part 'not yet anyway' I hope he means not ever.
Lexi just looked at me, and I sighed and got in the drivers seat telling her to shut her door and me too. I turned to her.
"You really want to stay?" I asked cautiously.
"Yes, Think about it though, If they have changed maybe they can accept us they looked sad!" I sighed and put my hands on the steering wheel straight ahead. "No more wondering, no more worring about other Packs! I get to meet a little sister I never knew I had and possibly save her from going through what I did.." and there it was. The reason she wanted to stay. Her sister..
I knew I had to do it for her. G0d I can't believe i'm doing this! Living with the people i've despised all these years. I know they didn't really want us. They probably only wanted us because we have inside information on rogues which makes sense but I don't think I'm gonna let any of them get close to Lexi till they earn my trust.
"Alright but on one condition! You need to stay away from Jack. I know the pull will be unbearable I get that I really truely do. But as of right now I wouldn't even trust their pet squirrel if they had one. Understood?" she beamed.
"Yupp" I shook my head and drove down the driveway to the house they talked about.
It was huge! Not as big as the pack house but big! There was stone everywhere with a lit up walkway and everything you could need and it was dark but light at the same time, strangely reminding me of Darius who was the designer probably since he was the Alpha. We settled inside for a while and it was aroung nine when there was a knock on the door and I opened it to see Jack standing there. I let out a growl and Lexi who was in the living room ran up to her room where I told her to stay till it was safe through our mind link.

Jack put up his hand in surrender. "No sweat sis! I'm not here to hurt you." I narrowed my eyes and stepped outside closing the door behind me causing Jack to step back.
"I'm not your sister! My sister is in this house and she's my only one. What do you want? Or should I say what does your 'Alpha' want?" I crossed my arms.
"Him and our- the pack are inside having dinner he wants you and Lexi to join.." I look at him for a long time and laugh.
"So he sent you? Of course." I scoffed. "Fine, I'll be there to see what he wants but i'm not staying and Lexi is not coming." He seemed disappointed "Oh don't you worry Jack you broke her heart enough for one lifetime." I fake smiled.
"Yeah.. I know." Aww I almost felt sorry for him. Almost. "Follow me"
I entered the dining area and looked around in disgust. This was a major case of de ja vu, except the people got older. I looked in the corner to see the table Lexi and I sat at was no longer there, Figures. Why would they want to remember us? Then I noticed everybody went quiet and looked at me.
I walked in slowly with a huge urge to say 'boo' but I didn't they were still staring at it was buggin me.
"Aww don't let little old me interupt." Some turned away from me looking at there food in silence then I smirked and looked at Darius. "You asked for me? Why." I said in all seriousness, They were afraid of me, after all. I am a rogue.
"Take a seat." he gestured to a seat with his free hand while the other was holding onto Danielle's and somehow that didn't seem to bother me but what did was Jack who's hand was holding on to a small looking girl who reminded me of the old Lexi which made me take a deep mental breath. I focused my attention on Darius.
"I'm not staying for dinner."
"I know" Ugh, Jack informed him. I fake smiled of course you do. Nonetheless I grabbed an empty chair and turned it around so I could lean on the front of it and I noticed the chair next to me and the chair next to that one wasn't inhabited, and the guards seem to draw closer to me.
"Well, this feels lonely" I sad mocking a tear rolling down my face with my finger and a puppy dog look "You know If you're trying to make me feel welcome so you can get information out of me having your guards glare imaginary daggers into my back isn't the way to do it." I said pointing over my shoulder and Darius just looked down ashamed so did my sister and my brother.
A few seconds passes by and I was looking around the room bored, I looked at my wrist watch to kinda signal for him to hurry up.
"I just wanted to let you know you are free to roam around the Midmoon Pack territory which means all the necessities in it, the mall, the diner, etc." He looked at me trying to stare into my eyes while I laugh and roll my eyes, I notice Jack whispering with the girl's hand he was holding.

Jack turned to me "You may not want to know this but i'll tell you anyway, I want you to meet Trish." He gestured towards the girl whos hand he was holding, she waved at me and I didn't recognize her so I nodded hello to everybody's shock. "We are having a baby"
I start coughing, I think i'm choking on my own saliva. Oh my god! I can't believe he just told me this! Why did he tell me this?! Ew. Images, that's just repulsive even when he was just trying to see Lexi so I put on a blank expression and turn to Trish
"Congrats." I turn back to Darius "Do I have your word that nobody will go near Lexi unless I want them too or trust them enough too?" I said "And I do mean Nobody." I glanced at Jack who just looked away from me.
Darius studied me for awhile "Yes." I nodded in agreement and stood up fixing the chair.
"Then I'm done here. Goodnight." I turned to walk out when Gabrielle stood up and ordered me to stop
I turned to her abruptedly "Let's get something straight b!tch I may be your sister biologically but I never was really your sister. There was no bond what so ever. So I suggest before you go trying to command me around like you did oh so many years of my life I'd take a good look in the mirror 'Alpha Female' and notice that you are nothing like me and you can't command me because incase you haven't noticed I'm not In this pack and the last somebody tried to command me he ended up in the ground six feet below.Think about that before you try to order me around again" they looked shocked, some looked pissed, but she looked guilty.
"How did you know we were mated?" Gabrielle asked sitting down slowly while Darius just looked at his food avoiding eye contact with me.
"I felt it." I said through clenched teeth and her eyes started to produce tears "Don't cry it's just pathetic" I used her own words against her and she just looked down.
"I-I forgot you weren't-"
"Apart of the pack? Yeah, I noticed. Goodnight everybody." and I left the dining room rather quickly. Went home and let my head hit the pillows falling fast asleep.
I woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs and I knew Lexi was cooking.
"Goodmorning Honeybee!" I said walking down the stairs.
"Goodmorning Baby girl! I'm making your favorites!" I sniffed it smelled so good!
"I know I see and smell it! Hurry up and cook woman I'm wasting away here!" I laughed when she narrowed her eyes at me.
She finished cooking a record setting five minutes later and put the eggs and bacon in front of me that was gone ten minutes later. she finished after me,
"Baby girl? I want to get some stuff for this place and when we were here before.. well, you know more about theses places than I do." She handed me list with candles, curtains, molch, etc. SHe then precided to usher me to the door.
"What am I buying? Home Depot?" I asked looking at the list. She was still pushing me to her car and we were being watched with amusement by Darius, Jack, Gabrielle, Trish and pups and grandmas during this fine saturday.
"Yes! Now go!" I sighed opening up the driver's side door of my Lamborghini.
"I don't like it that you're by yourself.."
"Shush! I need molch to landscape! There is stepping stones but no flowers!!"
"Then, why aren't flowers-" I looked behing her to see basically Flaming Gardens with all the exotic plants. "On. my. list.. HONEY BEE!" I finished me sentence pointing at the flowers behind her she just waves it off and claps her hands.
"Go! Now! Off you go to Home Depot! Adios!" she said waving me off behind her back as she walks towards the door.
"Okay! Oh by the way!" I smirked getting in the car and starting the engine,I leaned out the window with the car in reverse "School starts Monday! and you're going!" I squeeled out of the driveway just as she starts cursing me and flipping me off with both hands.
After I go to Home Depot and grab mulch I come home only to get hit repeatedly with a Newspaper by Lexi for making her go to school and since I was already overly smart I finished my high school online and had the certificate faxed to me. I calmed her by telling her we needed to get more money or at least for me to have a steady job incase we run out of money.
"Alright okay I understand, but i'm still mad at you for twenty more minutes!" she points an accusing finger at me, I put my hands up in surrender.
"Fine, I guess you don't wanna go to the diner than huh?" I said avoiding her next thing I know i'm being dragged to the door with my leather jacket thrown at me and put in the driver's seat. Dazed I sat there for a minute focusing.
"Drive Woman!" she yelled at me "I'm flipping hungrier than A man trapped in the desert all his life! Move. the. car!" I just laugh and start driving to the diner.

8 109The Unsorcerer
DISCLAIMER: The cover pic is not my original work. Credits goes to the Illustrator. This is a story of a man named Cipher, a 21st Century man reincarnated in a world where magic is the way of life. In the continent of Iarica, the people of this land are able to wield the crystals or magic stones for whatever purpose they desire. These people are called "Sorcerers", blessed individuals who are favored by the Gods and gifted with an ability to manipulate "Mana", the energy of the World and the energy source that makes all of the machines run. Cipher in contrast, is not. He is an "Unsorcerer", a person unable to wield the crystals and mana and eventually magic itself. Because of this "defect", he is shunned, ridiculed, and abused by most people and eventually by the whole society. Little did Iarica and her denizens know, this so-called reject of society is more than what he seems... Note: This humble Author-san is not a native English speaker, so there will be grammatical errors. Also the chapters are short, about 1K words. However I will try my best efforts on reaching the 2k-4k words threshold. Another note is that this will be a Harem fic, so to anyone who are not fan of the genre this may not be your cup of tea. Any criticsm are welcome as long it can help me to improve my writing skills since I'm just a newcomer in this scene.

8 193Heart of the Dungeon
A lazy, wingless, blabbermouth of an imp, smearing goat’s blood all over the crystal – that is the unpleasant view this new Heart wakes up to. “I’m your Prime!” the imp says. The Heart reluctantly agrees. In an unknown world, filled with dangers, it needs every help it can get – even if said help is not…optimal. The Heart tries its best to succeed, even after being tricked by shrewd traders and having less than useful minions. Rival races settle in the Dungeon, causing even more headaches.The heroes, as they call themselves, sets their aim on the ‘new and defenseless’ Dungeon. The heroes are always lurking in the shadows – well actually, they are standing in the open, under the sun, hiding nothing – but either way, their evil intentions, no matter how they claim to justify them, only cause needless death. “Am I really that precious? Must you hunt me so fiercely? Why are you doing this to me?” The Heart does not understand their motives. Perhaps its lack of understanding has something to do with the fact the Heart has no physical limits nor material needs. Why take it from someone, when you can simply will it forth? Just pay for it with mana rent! To make things worse, the real dangers are not from above, nor from below, but from within…
