Rejecting, Your Broken Promises -
Chapter 110
King Sebastian’s POV
B***d Rose Pack
We are all out in front of the packhouse to watch Luna Meghan arrive. We all want this over with quickly. It is cut and dried, and the verdict had already been decided, we just hadn’t announced it yet. She looks pissed off and is still sitting in the SUV. Rob had gotten out of the vehicle as soon as it was put into park. You could tell that he didn’t want to be around her any longer than he needed to be. He is not upset at his mom getting her trial today, as we all know that his loyalty is with his sister Sloan. The trial is just a formality, it is just a matter of allowing her to give her side of it, but she has no defense for her actions.
We leave her inside her SUV, as none of us really wanted to speak with her just yet. I haven’t had a lot of dealings with her before, I didn’t really know her well enough to have an impression of her either way, but I did like Gerald. I also liked Rob and thought that he would make a good Alpha when he took over Golden Moon. I turn to watch Gerald walking towards me. We shake hands and he asked to speak to me privately. I agreed and I bring the two Council members with me because if it involved additional charges, or getting her out of charges, they needed to be present for that conversation. He looks questioningly at them, and I told him, “They are from the werewolf Council.”
“Good because this involves them too. Is it too late to add more charges to Meghan?” Gerald asked.
I am surprised. The Council members are as well. “What did you want to add to her charges?” I asked him with a frown.
“When Dawson came to our pack and scented Sloan, he asked for all the unmated wolves to be allowed to come to the training field for him to find her. Meghan had Sloan locked in her room, for her protection was what I had always been told. He managed to get to her, after not finding his mate on the training field. We had gone up to her room, I was going to let Sloan go with him if they were mates, but Meghan was furious and went up to cause trouble. I just didn’t know that she was going to cause trouble at the time. Then Meghan ordered our warriors to come up to the Alpha Floor and stop Dawson from taking her. She didn’t want Sloan to be able to ever leave the pack. She wanted Brandi to be Dawson’s mate. She had ordered the warriors to attack Gabi, Tanner, Dawson, and Elena” Gerald said to us, and the Council members were surprised.
“Did you know?” I asked the Council Members.
“No, Gabi never told us. We would have done something then, at least a formal warning if we had been notified.” Teresa Phillips answered me back.
“That is a punishable offense, I wonder why it wasn’t reported” I mused trying to figure out why Gabi had let it go.
“Gabi just wanted her son’s mate, I am sure once they got that done, it was fine, so she let it go” I finally state, I am pretty sure I am right, but we can discuss it at her trial.
“I had only found out when I had gotten a link from one of my warriors telling me that Luna Meghan has asked them to come up and stop the intruders. I was just in the middle of telling them that it wasn’t intruders, that it was just a misunderstanding when the fight broke out. I got knocked out, and so did Meghan. Thankfully, Rob handled it correctly and allowed them to get Sloan and leave with her after they confirmed that they were indeed mates. Meghan was pissed about it, but I was glad. Sloan had to deal with too much at Golden Moon. Things that she never should have had to endure, like being punished because she was half witch. She would get bullied and pack members were overly aggressive with her when she was out of her room. I feel terrible about it, and I hope to get it worked out with Sloan one of these days. I didn’t realize what had happened to her until Rob started filling in little snippets. I let my mate bond blind me to the fact that the girl I once met as my mate, was not the same girl anymore” Gerald told me and I saw that he was looking at Rob and Sloan at the top of the stairs.
I see that he is doing this because it is the right thing to do, Meghan really messed up. But I know that they are true mates, and this sentence could end up killing him too. I have a suspicion that the second thing that he wanted to tell us was even more shocking though, as he couldn’t bring himself to say it. I see Rob heading toward us, as Gerald brought out some spice shakers in a pretty light purple color.
“Hey aren’t those moms special shakers? I haven’t seen them for a long time” Rob announced as he stopped to speak with us. We are behind the SUV that Luna Meghan is in, and in front of the one that Alpha Gerald arrived in. So, it was almost comical the way that Luna Meghan’s head snapped back to look at our group. Her door popped open, and she screamed, “No, don’t touch those.”
“It is too late Meghan, I already know. I looked for them and found them on the very top shelf in the kitchen. How could you? I already know what is in them. I had them tested. I am turning them over to the Council members, and they can go ahead and have my mother’s body exhumed to test and see if you killed her. I can’t even look at you anymore. How could you have done that? To Sloan? To me? To take my mother by poisoning her like that, I am completely disgusted. Why? Why would you do such a thing?” Gerald cried out to her. I am stunned. I did not know that things were going to go this way.
I hold my hand up to symbolize stop because I saw Vincent heading down the stairs to us, and he is mad. I can tell his intent, and he is about to kill her right now. He is a strong warlock, and he doesn’t have to be close to her to kill her in a thousand ways. He has every right to be angry and upset, Sera was his granddaughter. We all knew that she died way too early, but we had all thought that she had died from a broken heart. Because that is entirely possible, it happens to mated wolves all the time. We will get this taken care of, but we may have to wait until the test results from those small shakers come in, to get this taken care of. Vincent stopped but Beth is shaking in fury and hadn’t moved toward us at all. Sloan had to step down to hug her to get her to focus on her. Meghan IS going to be punished, and I already know that Vincent, or Beth, will be fine to hand down the sentence. I am going to allow them to carry out the sentence, I think that they deserve to get to do that.
“Gerald, I will send someone to your pack to get this done. I just need you to call and notify your Beta that we are authorized to do this to exhume the body, run the tests, and make sure. We can back the trial up until tomorrow or the next day. I will have Andrew go get the equipment needed to get this done” I told Gerald. I heard laughing to the right of me and it is Luna Meghan with her head back and laughing like this was the funniest thing that she had ever heard.
“I will save you the time and expense, King Sebastian. I did poison her. At every family dinner that I had for the last two years of her life. She deserved it. She deserved to die. She was the reason that my father died, and then I lost my mother. There was no reason for it, they didn’t deserve to die especially like that. My father was a strong man, and for him to be killed because your father got the wrong mate, is disgusting. Your father was a wolf, she was a nasty witch. The Goddess must have been crazy to have paired them together like that. He should have picked a she-wolf to mate with and let her go. Witches are the reason that I lost my parents, and I only wish I had gotten to kill every witch that I came across. My work was not done. I just needed to kill Sloan too, and then my vengeance would have been complete. I would have killed the two abominations in my home, and then I would be able to rest in peace. I just hate that I couldn’t have stopped Dawson from claiming Sloan. I would have killed her that night, just to prevent them from being mates. I am glad that I killed Sera, why should you still have your mother, when I lost both of my parents?” Luna Meghan yelled out in frustration, and a growl shook us all as Dawson stalks down the steps.
I can see Sloan crying at Luna Meghan having admitted that she had killed Sera and was indeed going to kill her too. Dawson was going to end Luna Meghan right now. I was impressed with his growl myself. He has a strong wolf, and he is angry. I am glad to see Tanner, Heath, and Percy all going over to stop him, and he is still trying to press through to her. She is laughing at his anger at her outburst and then looked at Sloan with an evil smile on her face. I need to take charge here because Luna Meghan is trying to goad them into killing her, and she deserves to be punished properly, and not quickly. She knows what is about to happen now, and she is just trying to get the quick and easy way, and I just can’t let that happen. She has way overstepped her boundaries, and she needs to bare responsibility for her actions.
“Cuff Luna Meghan and take her down to the cells. We will deal with this, later on, either tomorrow or the next day after we get the results. We need to have a meeting with the whole Council. This does change things and we also need to discuss her new punishment. I also want to know how to break the mate bond so her sentence won’t kill Alpha Gerald too. I believe it is going to be a bad one” I called out to my security team, who cuffed her and went to the cells with two warriors from B***d Rose. We all heard her laughing as she was taken away. She was scheduled to die for her original actions, but this new information changes things. We can’t kill her twice, but we can come up with something that won’t be as quick as being stabbed with a wolfsbane-dipped knife, or shot, as we were going to originally do.
“Dawson, take Sloan upstairs and comfort her while we go and discuss this honey” Gabi’s voice rings out, but she is looking at Percy and Peyton. Elena gets the idea and goes to collect Sloan, with Moira, and leads her up the stairs. Dawson is now calmer looking at Sloan and allows Percy to lead him up the stairs and Peyton runs to catch up with Sloan. Gabi is right, they need to help Sloan right now. We will handle this. Rob looks torn at not knowing if he needs to stay with us or go with his sister, and I told him, “Rob, see if you can get a hold of your sister Brandi, so we could see if she knew about the poisons being given to your grandmother. Just get her to agree to meet up with you or your dad somewhere, and we will help you pick her up. I think that she did know about it, and if she did, that is another charge for her as well. We will see about getting them both tried tomorrow. We will go and discuss this and let you know.”
“OK, I will text her, and if she doesn’t reply to me, I will let dad know and he can try. Other than that, we can try to run a trace on her phone or credit cards. I will see if we can locate her today” Rob said, and he ran off to follow the group up to Dawson’s room.
We all head up to Tanner’s Office, and no one is speaking. I think that we are all shocked at Meghan’s behavior. I did not anticipate her to have done anything like this. She seemed nice when I met her, but clearly, she was just faking that. That was about 10 years ago. So, before she killed Luna Sera in cold b***d. I see how hard this was on Gerald, and he is a good man, so that is my first thought was to see what we could do, to see if we could get the bond broken. Lead Miller had pulled his phone out to do a facetime to see what the rest of the Council’s opinions are concerning this new change of events. They are stunned as well at the new information, and a discussion is made over what needs to be done going forward now.
“Did anyone get her confession recorded?” one of the Council members asked.
“I did, and Elena did,” Gabi told them and then got her phone out to show the video to them. No one spoke as we all listened to the hate spewing from Luna Meghan’s mouth. There was silence for a few minutes after the video ended with the three Council members speaking to each other, before the one in the middle, who was the second Council member decided to let us know what their opinion was on this matter.
“I agree she is not repentant at all, for her to have poisoned someone for two whole years, it was deliberate. Plus, her hating former Luna Sera, who ended the battle seems like misplaced rage. But hating her innocent daughter who hadn’t even been born yet, makes her unbalanced. She is not fully crazy, but her poisoning of Sera for two years is not what sane people do. Her growing the poison shows premeditation, she did this with intent, plus killing a Luna, is automatic death. So, I agree that she is still killed, but with everything that she has done, it can be a more aggressive form of punishment. Are we all in agreement on this?” We see all three of the council members who were not here at B***d Rose nodding in agreement after the one in the middle made his statement.
“Does anyone know how to sever the mate bond? They are both still bonded, and I worry that her punishment might kill Alpha Gerald. Does anyone know what can be done about this?” I asked the Council members. Who again start speaking with each other trying to figure out a way.
“I can only think of him rejecting her, but in her mental state, she may be wanting him to die with her. She knew what she did was wrong and that he is already hurting. I mean, she killed his mother for Goddess’s sake. She is ruthless, and I am almost positive that she will refuse the rejection. I don’t know what else can be done” The second in command said.
“That was my thought process as well, but I believe that a witch can break the bond, even if one of the parties involved doesn’t want the bond broken,” Council member Teresa Phillips said to the group. We all turn to look at Vincent and Beth sitting on the couch together. They hadn’t said a word yet, but I know that they had both been listening intently.
“We can do it, I will do it for Gerald if this is what he wants done. Both Beth and I have seen Sloan’s memories, and I have a few questions for him before either of us is willing to do this for him. He may be our relative, but I have never seen him take up for Sloan, for anything, in her memories. I just want to know if he is worth saving. I don’t want to just knee-jerk do it for someone who was OK with what all Luna Meghan put her through” Vincent said in a cold tone. I saw Gerald look at Vincent in surprise and I didn’t know what part of Vincent’s comment surprised him.
“We are related. How? I have never seen you before in my life. I do not know you” Alpha Gerald said to Vincent.
“I can vouch for Vincent. I know him well. He is Sera’s grandfather. He has been teaching Sloan to control her magic. She is very close with them, and they did indeed check her memories. They speak the truth, if you want to know something you can either ask Sloan or them. I have been told that Rob got to meet them after Sloan arrived here” I told Gerald, and he seemed stunned at finding out he had family members on his mother’s side. I guess with as much as Luna Megan hated them neither Sera nor Gerald, ever had any of their relatives on her side come to Golden Moon. Gerald nodded at them to go ahead with their questions.
“Did you know that Luna Meghan was abusing Sloan in her room? Did you ask Luna Meghan to bind Sloan’s powers? Did you know that Luna Meghan had a spell put on Sloan’s room to keep you from hearing her crying to be let out?” Beth lets the questions fly, and Gerald’s face went white with shock. We are all wondering which of the questions he was shocked by, but truly they were all pretty bad questions. You could have heard a pin drop as we all waited to hear his reply.
