A Runt Luna
Chapter 34

"Ok." She nodded, curiosity getting the best of her. Pushing back the blankets, she allowed him to take her hand and lead her down the stairs and outside.

It seemed like the walk took forever but finally he came to a stop and wrapped his hands around her eyes.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"It's a surprise." he said, "Now, Its not completely finished but its almost done."

Rory wasn't sure what she was expecting, but she definitely was not expecting to be standing in front of a cute little white home.

"I don't understand." She said confused.

"I have been working on fixing this place up, for us. Traditionally the Alpha and his mate would live in the house that we are currently living in. But, I want us to have something that we create together." He rubbed the back of his neck, nervous that she was just staring at him. "You like those home shows, so I thought you could make your own home. Our home."

"Kole, I-." She was speechless. She had been afraid that he was seeking out another women, when this whole time he was making them a home. "This is... WOW."

"You're crying, why are you crying?" Kole panicked, sure that he messed something up.

"Its a good cry. I promise." She chuckled before throwing herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Want to see the inside?" Kole asked.

"Yes!"

Despite being woken up so early, she took every inch of the four bedroom, three and a half bathroom house.

"Oh Kole, I love it." She said kissing him.

"Good, I'm glad."

He should have known that fixing things with Rory wouldn't have been that simple. Everything between them was great, the issue was that they weren't able to start their happy ever after. They made a trip to the city, to pick out paint colors and shop for furniture, when they smelt a rogue.

"What are you thinking for the living room?" Rory asked glancing over the light neutral colors.

"What about the light grey?" Kole suggested, plucking the swatch from the rack, enjoying the time spent with his mate.

"Oh, that's pretty." Rory agreed, leaning against Kole's chest.

"Could we do one of the pastel colors for the bedroom?" She asked, glancing at the mint and violet.

"We can do what ever you want." Kole smiled, he was just about to suggest the violet when the hair on the back of his neck stood up.

"What's wrong?" Rory asked before having the same feeling and felt her mate tense next to her.

"Rogue."

"A rogue? In the city?" Rory gulped.

"It will be ok, stay calm." Kole said, pulling out his phone and sending a text to his Beta, alerting him of their discovery. The rogues needed to be taken care of. They were becoming a frequent hassle and Kole worried about the safety of his pack.

She allowed Kole to maneuver her around the store, guiding her to the exit all while keeping his eyes open for the rogues.

Rory kept her eyes down, not sure what the heck was going on. It didn't take Alex anytime at all to get to them.

"What's happening?" Alex asked, in full Beta mood.

"Rogue, in the store." Kole frowned, "Rory, I want you to get in the car and go home."

"But-what about you?" Rory questioned worriedly. She didn't like the idea of being split up.

"Alex and I will drive back together." Kole said. "Go."

Rory listened, not only because of how serious Kole was, but she was also scared

- the last time she encountered a rogue she was attacked. Despite being afraid,

she climbed into the driver side, hoping she remembered enough of what she was taught about driving to get herself home.

Peter was waiting for her when she got home, and opened the door for her.

"Are you ok?" He asked holding her out scanning her for wounds.

"I'm fine, we didn't actually see or run into the rogue, but we smelt it around."

"Where is Kole?"

"He's tracking the scent."

Ever since they sighting of the rogue in the store two weeks ago, things had been more tense and not just in the pack, but also between the Leaders. Kole and Alex wanted to trap the rogues and stop them from coming around, but Josh and Peter didn't want to start a battle, and Rory - Rory just wanted to finish making their house into a home, and keep everyone safe.

"Ian, I'm going for a run. Do you want to come with me?" Rory asked calling through out their home. Another touchy topic between Rory and Kole was lan, and the fact that he lived with them. While she had been able to get Kole to be nicer to the boy, he still wasn't all that welcoming, nor was he willing to share his personal home with the preteen.

"Yeah." lan responded coming out of his bedroom.

Together they shifted, and made their way to the worn path, unaware of the beady eyes that followed them.

Rory ran with a smile on her face, well as much of a smile a fox could form, all while playfully nipping at lan's heels. They made it all the way to the creek, before Rory realized something was wrong.
