Rejected, My Jaded Love
Episode 85

Eric’s perspective

Well, I guess I am going to have to do something now to try to save all our asses.

I mind link my dad’s Gamma, Harry Devoe, and ask him, “Harry, I know you were in the military, do we still have guns or rifles here at the guard shack still? And if so, can you cover me while I fight Asher? If it looks like I am going to lose, and if I can get his back turned towards you, can you shoot him? We may have to fight them dirty on this, as I can see no other way around it, other than to stall until I can get some armed warriors up here to the gate area. They can take Tyler and Asher out, I think if we can kill them, the rest of them will leave as they won’t have anyone else here to follow directions from”

“That is actually a great idea, Eric. I will check the guard’s shack and you can run your idea past your dad and see if he thinks that will be the best option for us. I can’t see another way out of this, but your dad is still Alpha. We have to do what he wants us to do in this, but since we are at war, we will be ok to shoot them. It will not go against us if we have to do that, as you always lose people when you go to war” Gamma Harry answered me back.

“Dad, I am going to have Harry check the guard shack for a gun or rifle. I am going to have to fight Asher, but I told Harry that if it looks like I might lose, I will try to get Asher turned to where his back is to Harry, for him to shoot and kill him. If you are ok with it, I will also be mind linking the best shots we have to bring their weapons and come to the front gate. I think we need to shoot Tyler too, thus taking out the two Alpha’s here at the gate. I believe that they will all leave once we have done that, as they won’t have an Alpha here to take directions from, thus stopping the war. What do you think of my plan dad, do you want to try it?” I mind linked to my dad.

“That is actually a great idea Eric, I see no other way out of this than to do that. I will mind link Harry and tell him that we are good with your plan. You need to go ahead, and mind link your men to get their guns and get to this gate ASAP” My dad mind links back to me.

“Michael, I need you and your best two sharpshooters at the main gate. We are surrounded and at war at this time. We have 2 shooters at the front gate, and I need to kill the 2 men nearest the gate. They are both Alpha’s and I will have to fight the bigger guy. You will only need to worry about the other two guys. I want them all taken out and then the war should be over. So, get geared up and get her now. I will stall for as long as I can. But I need the three men at the gate dead” I tell my warrior. He goes to the range a lot with his friends who are also warriors here. They are former military too, so they should be accurate with their shots. I don’t want to worry about them missing and hitting me. I will be furious if that happens. I will make a mental note to remind them all of that fact and not to take the shot unless they are clear to hit their targets. I don’t feel like getting shot today.

“Ok, I will fight you, Asher,” Eric calls out to me.

“Open the gate and let’s go, Eric” Asher calls back to me.

“Hang on, I haven’t fought for a while, and I want to stretch and maybe get some tips from my dad. I am going to go talk to him for a couple of minutes and then I will open the gate” Eric calls back to us.

“You can stretch out here moron, what are you trying to do?” Tyler calls out.

“Nothing, I just want to say goodbye to my dad and mom in case I get beaten. He is a good fighter and in case I lose, I want to have said goodbye to them” Asher calls out and then walks over to his parents and starts stretching.

“You look like a complete i***t Eric, stop stalling and get over here” Asher calls out.

Tyler’s Perspective

I mind link to Tate, “He is stalling now, and I want to know what the hell is going on in there. I think he is going to try to kill one or all of us”.

“I agree, go speak to Asher, but do not turn your back on the gates and I will get with my sharpshooters, I do not have a good feeling about what is about to go down,” Tate tells me back through the mind link.

I walk over to Asher sideways, not turning my back to the gate. I speak in a low tone for only him to hear, “Tate and I believe that Eric is stalling to get people set up to shoot you, or you and me, or all of us to stop the war between our packs. Even if he does come out here to fight, we need to be paying attention to the walls and make sure that none of us are going to be shot. Eric knows that he can’t beat you, so he will have to fight dirty. You just focus on beating him, and let Tate do his thing, I saw him undo the snaps at the top of his holster freeing up his guns to be used. I need to be able to mind link you just in case. So, I will be adding you to my pack so we can communicate via mind link, at least for today. Are you ok with that?”

“I am totally ok with that as I don’t want to be shot, but I will not be letting that psychopath take Jade away from me. I love her and I refuse to let her suffer one more day ever again, from the people in this pack. So yes, please add me and now because I would love to get a heads up in case someone tries to end me today.” Asher tells me.

“Asher, can you hear me?” I hear Tyler in my head.

“I can, thanks for having my back Tyler” I answer him back.

I am now worried because I know that Tyler and Tate are right. I have a really bad feeling about this right now. He has stalled too long, and I am sure he made plans to have me taken care of, he is not a fighter. I have seen him fight before, and he gets lucky sometimes getting a weaker Alpha, but her doesn’t know how to fight very well. I believe he is lazy and doesn’t care about being a strong Alpha. I am only a year older than him, but I am a strong fighter thanks to Braxton and Mason. There is no way that Eric can beat me in a fight, without cheating.

“Ok, I am ready to fight” Eric calls out and Tyler backs up to the corner of the SUV that he has moved out into the street. I don’t know why he moved it, but I know that he and Tate were mind linking with each other before he did it.

“Let’s go, Eric, show me what you got,” I tell him as the gates open up.
