I ran a hand through my hair and sighed. How she was still alive after what she had been through was a mystery. A small growl escaped my lips, causing the red haired beauty to look at me and raise an eyebrow. "Nothing," I muttered.

She frowned, giving me a look that told me that she knew that I was lying, but she didn't say a word. She glanced at the class before looking at me. "Remember what you had promised," she warned. "If anyone, especially that bitch, found out about my past, then they could use it against me." For a moment her wall fell, and I caught a bit of the pain that she was feeling before her face was blank again.

A small growl escaped my clenched lips, not wanting anyone to use it against her. "No one will," I promised. I opened the door for her, causing her to mutter a thanks before going to her seat. I nodded to Ms. Love when a small smile appeared on her face. It seemed to me that she figured out that Bethany Ann was my mate, and she was unknowingly accepting her.My Wolf purred, and I couldn't wait until I could officially introduce her to my pack and make her my Luna.

I moved a hand through my hair and sighed. It was almost the end of the day, and we all had one class left. Thankfully, our teacher had given us a free day, so that meant that I was able to try and get through this next session of her life.A small shudder went through me, because I knew that she had had a good life when her "father" had met her mother and took them away from the hell hole that they had been through. As much as I wanted it to, I knew that it didn't last.

I took a deep breath before opening the book and started to read it again.

Life had gotten better for me, I read. The man that I count as my father taught me what it was like to have a male love me and not use me for sex. I remember how he had stolen me and my mother from that place which held many memories that I would rather forget than to mention again.

I could never repay him for the kindness that he had showed me and a brother that I adored and helped me with myself.

For five years I had learned to love this life, but it was taken from me one night when I was thirteen.

I paused and took a deep breath. She had been happy for only five years until she was thrown into something that made her life spiral out of control. I could feel Bane pace in my mind, and I knew that both of us were dreading what was going to happen to the red head beauty

.I took a deep breath and looked down at the journal again. My fears were confirmed when I saw that the letters and numbers seemed to shake.

I remember having fun with my family after we had been at the movies. My little brother, Jason, and I were racing each other to a corner, with our parents behind us. However, that was short lived when both of us were grabbed and pulled into an alleyway, followed by the yells and screams of our parents.

I remember feeling blood on the back of my head, because I had hit a brick wall and catching a whiff of their scents. I knew that they were Werewolves, and I knew that it was not in my, nor my brother's, best interest to try and fight them.

My brother whimpered for me to come and rescue him, sending Laurie in a bit of a frenzy. I couldn't help but growl when I heard one of them slapping him and telling him to 'shut up'.

"Hey, Jumbo?" the one holding me asked. "This 'ere growled." He held me by my hair showing me to his friend. "Don't think that's possible fer humans to do."

"Shut up, Shrimp," the other male said. "I'm thinking." The male in front of me tapped his chin before looking at another member of his team. "Joe, squeeze the boy."

The male, Joe, squeezed my brother. It took all of my willpower not to growl while it took all of my brother's willpower to not whimper. However, when my brother finally let out a small whimper, I let out a ferocious growl, causing the whole group to laugh.

"Well, I'll be," Jumbo said, watching as I struggled. "That Mutt does have a Wolf."

"Let my brother go," I growled, ignoring the male pulling at my hair.

"No can do, Sweetheart," the male said. "We've been paid to kill your family and bring you to your father."

"Now, come on fellas," I said, trying to sound seductive. I couldn't help the small growl that escaped from my flirtatious smile. "Why don't you all let my family go and I make it worth your while."

I growled and looked up at Bethany Ann. She was going to sell her body to some other man. 'You belong to me,' I mouthed when she looked at me.

She gave me a pointed look. 'Keep reading,' she mouthed. 'I am the only one alive.'

I frowned but complied to her wishes. I didn't know what was going to happen, but I felt that it was going to be something that would make us pissed.

"Aww come on, Jumbo," the male, Shrimp, said. "Can't we do it? It's been a long time, and this girl is throwing herself at us."

"I'll make it worthwhile," I purred, batting my eyelids together. Images of them naked and dead filled my mind, and I couldn't help but shudder slightly. "Just let my brother and parents go."

"No can do," Jumbo said. "Your parents are all ready dead. Shrimp, pull at her hair to shut her up, and Joe, it's time for that boy to go."

Jason's scream woke up Laurie, and she instantly took control. "Help," he whimpered, looking at me.

Laurie snarled and used my hand to claw at the male that was holding us. She, also, used the training that we had been given and had gotten out of his hold. "Let my brother go," she said. Power filled her voice, sounding so different from mine.

"Oh, lookie here," Jumbo said. "We got the Mutt's Mutt. What? You can't shift?" he sneered.

"Even if I could, I would've shifted at sixteen, ass hole," Laurie snarled. "Now, let him go before I kill you."

Jumbo sneered. "I would like to see you try."

Laurie snarled and started to attack them. Her, well our, anger lended us strength, but it was not worth it in the end.

After getting a good scratch on the leader's face, Laurie and I were knocked to the side, as if we were nothing but a bug. The leader snarled and stalked over to me, holding a knife. "I hate to do this to a paying customer, but you are not making this easy on me." He grabbed hold of my hair and lifted my head up, causing me to gasp in pain.

A sinister smile appeared on his face as he cut me from the base of my chin, down my shoulder blade, until he reached the middle of my back. "Thanks for the offer, Love, but money is more important." He turned to look at me, smirking. "Kill the boy. We can just tell the father that she was caught by some group and killed her before we could stop them."

"I love you, Anna," Jason whimpered, seeing me in the corner, trying to get up. He closed his eyes while the man hand crushed his throat.

A startled cry or scream sounded through me before I fell unconscious. However, before I did, the male looked at me and sneered, saying four words that haunts me even today.

Those words were 'Your father says hi.'

A deep snarl ran through me, while I felt my Wolf want to take control and take on those people that hurt my mate. I slammed the book shut before running out of the classroom. As soon as I made it to the safety of the woods, I shifted and howled my agony and pain, hating the fact that my mate had to go through that.

At that moment, I made a promise to myself, and to her, that I was going to find those Rogues, and her father, and kill them. I didn't care what it would take. They were going to die at my hands.
