Rejected, Broken And Forgotten
Chapter 43

Paris’s POV

“I can not believe you were the one that sold out our werewolves, and we always thought you were the only one fighting with us,” Walker says. I can see the disappointment on Walker’s face. I walk to my grandmother and hold her. I can see she is not feeling good, and I suspect my grandfather is poisoning her with something so she can not feel his betrayal. I know a mate will feel when their mate has s*x with another female, no matter the species. Was he giving her something to make her not feel the pain? I can see my grandmother holding her stomach. How can you hurt your mate for a human? I do not understand this, and my respect for my grandfather goes down another notch. London and Nathan come walking in with Ben. They obviously do not know what is going on here. Ben can see his grandmother is not feeling well, and he runs to her. He loves Victoria as she treats him like her own son.

“Grandmother, what is wrong? Why do you look so pale?” Ben asks.

“I also want to know. What did you give her?” I ask Geroge.

“Wolfsbane. I only gave her enough to make her sick. She will be fine,” He answers. London looks in shock.

“Why would you do that,” London asks as she helps Ben to take their grandmother to the couch.

“Because he has a lover. He was planning on meeting her tonight and having s*x with her. Our grandfather is a traitor, and he sold us out to the human army,” I say.

“It can not be! Grandfather, tell me it is not true!” London shouts. I am worried about her as she is pregnant, and I do not want anything to happen to her and her pup.

“Don’t upset yourself, London. You are pregnant. Nathan, can you please take a look at my grandmother and make sure she is okay,” I ask. I know a little about medicine, but I know Nathan is a doctor, and he will be better equipped to help my grandmother. Nathan nods and walks over to our grandmother. He takes a look into her eyes and gives her something. Then he pulls me aside, and I know something is wrong.

“Grandmother is suffering from a broken heart, and you know what that means for a werewolf,” He says.

“Yeah, she can turn rogue if she does not fight to hold her human side. We can not let that happen. Ben and London need her and must keep her from going insane and becoming a rogue. She has been with my grandfather for years, and losing him must be a hard knock, but she has us. f**k him. I will not let my grandmother go rogue,” I say. I take London and Ben into a room next to the office.

“Grandma needs you, and she is going to go rogue because grandpa broke her heart. You will have to tell and show her how much you need her,” I say.

“What about you?” London asks.

“I have to fight a war and save the werewolves from humans and wolves like grandfather. He will be killed as a traitor, but we need your two to keep grandmother sane,” I say.

“We will do it, sis. You go and fight your fight, and we will fight for grandmother,” Ben says. He and London hold hands as they get up and walk back to our grandmother to help her cope with the death of her husband and his betrayal of their love. London and Ben walk to our grandmother, and she looks a little better as Nathan gives her an antidote for the wolfsbane he has developed in the last few years while at university. He is proud of his treatment as it has never been done before, and he told me about it. I can not help but think that he can help a lot of wolves in this way. I am also impressed by his skills and ask Nathan if he has more of the antidote, as we may need it when we save the wolves in captivity, at the human army base. Of course, he has, and he hands some to me. I am happy as I run out and hear Ben and London tell our grandmother how much they need her and how her first grandchild needs her even more to help protect it against wolves like our grandfather. Victoria was always a warrior, and she fought side by side with George. She is not about to give up and give George his way. She will fight with her children, and I know it. I love her for being such a strong wolf, and I know we can count on her to help us. As I walk into the office where George sits, looking defeated, I walk over to him. It is my grandfather, and I feel responsible for his actions. I also want to put him out of his misery as fast as possible, as I do not want him to find a way to contact his lover. He betrayed us, and there is only one punishment for a wolf that betrayed his kind.

“May the Moon Goddess have mercy on your soul. I know you were not always bad, and therefore, I will make your death quick,” I say. I grab him, put my hand through his chest, and rip out his heart. George dies instantly, and I hold his still-beating heart in my hand. The men around us look sad as they never thought he would be a traitor, but neither did we. I said I never trusted him, but I was not honest as I thought he was a good guy and a warrior like the rest of us.

I feel sad because I liked him. I don’t believe he was all bad, but his greed and love for a human woman drove him to do what he did. We had no other option but to kill him as he was a traitor of his kind and let the humans get their hands on our wolves. I am a Queen now and must put my people first. I feel like crying after killing my grandfather, but I know I can not cry in front of my people, so I start running. I hear someone running behind me, but I do not look around as I want to escape all the pain and disappointment. I am hurt and feel the tears streaming down my cheeks. I need to be alone. I need to get away. I still have his heart in my hand. How could he? How could he do this to my grandmother and my family? I thought I had someone that cared. I thought I had the family I wanted for so long, only to be betrayed again. As I reach the river, I feel arms around my body. I turn around and feel Walker holding me.

“It is okay, baby. I am here. I will not let you go. You are my everything, and I will never do what he did to your grandmother. I promise you I will always be faithful and never betray you,” Walker talks to me to calm me down. I hold on to Walker, the bloody heart still in my hands. I know I can trust Walker as he is not like my grandfather. I hear another one approaching, and as I look up, I see my grandmother standing there. She holds her arms open to me, and I push Walker away and run to her, knowing she is trying to show me she does not blame me for killing him. She must have seen what I have done.

“Thank you. Although he was a bastard, you killed him fast, and it does my heart good to know you cared enough not to make him suffer. I will take his heart and keep it as it now belongs to me. It has not been long, but that human b***h will not have the last laugh. Thank you, my child. I love you and what you did today is what I needed. I knew he had to die, and I was praying it would be fast and merciful because I still loved him even if he hurt me like that. He was my mate, after all, and we had a good time,” Victoria says, holding me and kissing my face.

“I am glad you do not hate me, grandmother,” I say.

“How can I hate you if you took away the one that hurt me the most and gave me hope to live? I will not turn rogue as I want to live for Ben, London, my grandchild, and you. I want to help you fight humans and know how to help. I can lure that human b***h into a trap and kill her. I want to do it if you help me,” Victoria says. I agree, and Walker is not upset that I pushed him away to run to my grandmother. He smiles happily, knowing we need each other now more than ever. I hug my grandmother closely, and she hugs me back. We can use her help with the human general, scientist, or whatever she is. We can make a plan to lure her into a trap. I think that we can make a plan to get a human woman to fight my grandmother without her guns and silver bullets.

We walk back to the castle, and London and Ben meet us halfway. I can see they are worried, and I know they thought that grandmother was angry at me for killing her mate, but when they see us together, walking hand in hand, they relax. I know they thought our grandmother wanted to kill me for killing her mate, but when they saw our grandfather’s heart in our hand, they knew that I had given it to her and that we were okay. They mind-linked me to warn me, but that was after my grandmother had already reached me, and we had already hugged and talked. We know what we want to do, and I also tell London and Ben about it. They also agree that we need to take out our grandfather’s lover as it is as much her fault as his. We all need it as he is not the only one in the affair, and we think the human used him to betray his own. There is no excuse for a traitor, but we know there are always two sides to a story. I am glad my grandmother is okay, and I hope she finds her second chance mate, as she deserves one. She is even willing to fight for her kind at her age.

“Your grandfather stopped wanting to fight the day humans came to our area. At first, there was no base, and it was the first time I learned about the ground humans used as a base, but he was not too old to fight. I was still willing to fight, but I got sick sometimes and thought I was too old to fight. Little did I know he gave me wolfsbane to be with his human lover. I thought I was just sick until you came to confront him. It got worse on the nights he must have been with her and told me he was going out to patrol with his men. I never thought he would do something like that to me, but at least now I know I am not too old to fight, and I am still a warrior. I may not be a Queen anymore, but I can fight, and I am willing to fight,” My grandmother says, and I can only admire her. She is a strong wolf. I can see her as part of our kingdom. She will be the Queen’s mother and live with us in the castle together with Ben. I know London and Nathan want to be on their own and want to have a house of their own. I will not stop London and Nathan but they like Ben and my grandmother will always be the family of the Queen.
