Rejecting, Your Broken Promises
Chapter 114

Luna Meghan’s POV

B***d Rose Pack

I was just staring at the ceiling when I hear Brandi calling out for help. Why is she here? I gave her plenty of money, there was over $7,000 on that emergency card. How did they find her? I am angry, as long as my baby was going to be OK, I could live with anything. She is a miniature version of me, and I doted on her. I would protect her in anything. Why didn’t she run like I told her to? I rolled my eyes, she was not quite as smart as I am, but I gave her instructions. I realized that she must have gone shopping with the card, instead of protecting herself. She loves to shop and would spend a small fortune on it, but I really thought since I warned her, that she might need to find places to stay for a while, that she needed to be careful with the card.

That was the only thing that Sloan was better than Brandi about. Sloan was a smart girl. She never told her dad what was happening. Yes, I did tell her that I would kill her if she did. But I would have had to work to try to get that done with her in the house. He usually saw her about once a month, once she came up missing for a couple of months, he would ask questions. I just hadn’t figured out a way to take care of her, without it leading right back to me. My only hope now is that Brandi’s friend Anna got the job done. As much as Anna liked Dawson, I was sure that she would carry what we asked her to out. I told her that I really thought that Dawson was her second chance mate after she gets rid of Sloan. I didn’t, but she needed to be built up, I needed her to do that one little job. I mean, how hard is it to just put a dropperful into a glass from two vials? That wasn’t rocket science, it was actually super easy. Why can’t people just follow simple directions? I mean I told both Brandi, and Anna, exactly what to do, how could they screw it up? I already know, they didn’t think, or they overthought. Just go ahead and do it for the Goddess’s sake. Do I have to do everything? I turn to face the wall, this cell is disgusting. I hate it here, hopefully, when they can’t prove anything but what happened at the gate here at B***d Rose, I can just fall on the sword and tell them that it was all a mistake. Yes, that is what I am going to do. I will take responsibility and tell them that I had a break because I missed my Sloan so much. They don’t know any freaking difference. I will just tell them that, and how much I missed her, and that should do it.

“No moron, because you couldn’t help but open your mouth, they know you poisoned Luna Seraphina too” my wolf, Janine said to me. Well s**t, she is right. I just wanted to hurt Gerald for bringing me here, I did admit that in front of the group. “Well, they have no proof of that. I will just tell them that I was just so upset at my true mate bringing me here to be punished, that I was just mad and made that up to piss him off. I have to convince them that it was just a slight breach of judgment on my part. That I didn’t know what I was doing because I was so upset at missing my daughter so much. I have talked my way out of stuff for over 20 years, I can do this. I think very quickly on my feet. I heard a sound near my cell and turn around to see Sloan standing there, with Dawson right behind her with his arms wrapped around her.

I give her a sweet smile as this starts now. “I have missed you so much, Sloan. That is why I wanted you back home. I am glad that you came down to visit me. I have missed you since you have been gone” I told her in a sweet voice. I need to lull her into thinking that I am a changed woman.

“Mom, you don’t have to pretend. It is just us here, you can stop playing like you love me. We both know that it is just an act” Sloan told me, making my smile falter for a second before I recommitted to my act.

“What are you talking about Sloan? All I ever did was try to protect you from those who wanted to do you harm in the pack” I told her with a sweet smile on my face.

“Oh, you mean to protect me from Brandi’s friends who always tried to hurt me, after you and Brandi told them too. Only an i***t would have fallen for that Luna Meghan or someone who didn’t care. It was the same four people that were doing it. It wasn’t a bunch of different people, it was the same handful of people who did it, each and every time. Why wouldn’t that have occurred to someone? Oh, I know why, it was because you were running interference for them. Protecting them, while they did your bidding. But that stops today. It is 830 and visiting time is almost over. I was just here to see if you wanted to ask for forgiveness from me before it is too late. I would hate for you to go to meet the Goddess without it, but then again, I would have to forgive you for you to get it. I will save us both some time in this. I don’t forgive you. I will not ever forgive you. You are a horrible person and a horrible mother. The only thing that you excel at is being fake, a liar, a manipulative woman whose sole goal in life is to make me pay for something that I wasn’t even alive for. You are delusional, you assigned blame to both my grandmother, and me, for something that we didn’t even have a hand in. You disgust me with your pity party about losing your parents, when I only had 1 parent, my grandmother, for my whole life. I had no one else and you took her from me because you are clearly insane. You kept my father from me, and you and my sister abused me. You need to acknowledge that someone else started that fight, and even though my grandmother was traumatized at the time, she still ended it by saving everyone else. Instead of blaming the three witches who cause it, and were killed by Sera, or blaming the rogues that they had with them, you blamed me, and her. I hope you get exactly what you deserve Meghan because I won’t shed a single tear for you, or Brandi” Sloan tells me. The look that she is giving me shows what she really thinks of me, and it makes me angry. How dare she think that she is better than me?

“How dare you say that? All witches are to blame, even if you were born after it happened. Why didn’t Sera use her power to defeat them BEFORE my father was killed? Why did she wait? It was because she wanted him to be killed, that is why. She was a bad person. Do you think that I was a bad mother? Then yeah, I guess I was after I lost my parents. If your grandmother had just stayed with her own kind, none of this would have ever happened, so yes, it is all her fault. She should never have been with Magnus, he should have picked a she-wolf to be his Luna. He chose to breed with a disgusting witch, they should never have been allowed to have children together. Gerald shouldn’t have existed as their mating was a terrible mistake. I wish that I had gone ahead and killed you last year, then I wouldn’t be in this spot, but I waited. Like a fool, I listened to your sister Brandi who said to keep you alive. She liked to tune you up too, and neither of us ever imagined someone actually being cursed to be your mate. I hope you are happy with your disgusting half-breed Dawson. I hope that you are not able to conceive, if you did then I am sure that your children will be cursed, and abominations, too. Just like their mother” I yelled at them.

“Well, funny you should mention that. We happen to be pregnant right now, and our babies will be here before you know it. Too bad for you, you will be long gone before they get here. I don’t want you anywhere around my pups. I will not show them a picture of you, and they will never know about you if I have anything at all to say about it. They already have enough wonderful family members already without your name sullying my lips” Sloan tells me, and Dawson kissed the top of her head. He then wrapped his hands gently around her waist like he was going to protect the babies in her stomach from my gaze. He looks proud and happy, and I realize right then, she is happy now, and I have lost. I fall to my knees on the ground because I have failed, she beat me, and I didn’t see it coming. She has a mate, and babies on the way. Why couldn’t Anna have done this one little thing? I want to kill her, but she is 5 feet away from my bars, and I have nothing to reach her with. I am on my knees on the floor when I heard footsteps. I look up and see Gerald standing there, and he looks upset, I frown because I still can’t smell his scent, how long has he been here? What all has he heard?

“I only wish that I had discovered what you had been doing this whole time Meghan. You only care about yourself, and Brandi, and I am sickened by what I have heard you say so far. I don’t know how much more I can handle as you have lied to me over and over again. When I asked you to take the lock off her door to allow her freedom, you had her room charmed. I couldn’t bear to hear her crying to be let out, it broke my heart. She should have been safe to roam on the Alpha floor, and I hear now that she wasn’t ever in any real danger, you created that too. I wonder if anything between us was real. Every time I asked you about Sloan, and if she was OK you lied to me. I checked her room after she left. She didn’t have books, movies, or any hobby items like you said that you got for her. You kept me in the dark, placating me, lying to me, and serving your own agenda. You have broken my heart with your lies that have now divided me so far from my daughter that she may never allow me to see my own grandchildren. I cannot believe what you have done to me and our family Meghan. I, Gerald Robinson Reynolds, Alpha of the Golden Moon pack reject you, Meghan Elaine Reynolds, for betraying our bond with lies, and killing my mother. I banish you from the Golden Moon pack and rescind any bond we had between us” Gerald told me.

I gasped out in pain as my heart feels like it is breaking in two. I am glad that I am already on my knees, or I would have hit the ground really hard with his rejection. We are true mates, with a strong bond, why would he do this to me? “Why indeed?” my wolf Janine asked in a mocking tone. She is not taking any of the pain away from me. I am having to bear it all and it is bringing tears to my eyes. He doesn’t seem as affected by the rejection, not like I am. I look up at him from the floor and I can barely speak. I told him, “I don’t accept your rejection. Whatever I go through, we will experience it together. I had to bear the pain of losing my parents because of the choices that your father made to accept the wrong mate. If I die, you will too. Your parents brought this down on us, so you can accept my punishment too, mate” I told him. I knew why he did it, he needs the bond broken to keep my being killed from killing him too. Well, buddy, it is not going to work for you as I will not accept your rejection. I laugh at the horrified look on his face. He is stunned and I think that it is hilarious. I continue to laugh as the area fills up and the Alpha King walks up carrying a chair. A warrior opened my cell and put the cuffs on me before helping me up off the floor.

“What now? Am I going to be beaten up? What is the plan here? Are you going to try to force me to accept Gerald’s rejection? I won’t do it. His family caused me the ultimate pain, and I don’t mind dying for my conviction of paying some of it back. When I die, he will die with me, it is only fair” I said to the group. They are all crazy if they think that I will be accepting his rejection now. I won’t do it, and they can’t force me to accept it.

“No, no one will be beating you up. Well, not today anyway. We just need you to sit here in the chair and be quiet, if you can?” a man who I don’t know said and he looks angry. I don’t know why he is angry with me, we don’t even know each other. I see a woman step out from behind him and as soon as I see her eyes, I realized that these are the witches I saw after I got here earlier today.

“Do not touch me” I hiss at them. I don’t want their disgusting hands on me.

“This is what I thought,” Tanner said as he brought out two more handcuffs and had the warrior sit me in the chair and he and Tanner cuffed my hands to the chair. It is a heavy chair, and I can only get it to slide a short distance before tiring out. I can’t go any further, I am against the wall.

“Let’s get this started,” the tall man with black hair said. He and the woman put their hand on either side of my head and another two step up to hold their free hand and I am trying to figure out what they are doing. It doesn’t take me long to realize that they are searching through my memories. I try to block them by focusing on the same thought over and over again, but I only succeed in slowing them down and giving myself a bad headache. I sat there waiting for fifteen more minutes while they sifted through all of my memories, and I grit my teeth in frustration. I was expecting to be interviewed and denying everything, but they are not playing fair right now, and I already know that this is going to result in a death sentence for me. Well, at least my wonderful mate will be coming along for the ride too. That at least makes me smile. After what his parents did, he totally deserves it. When they get done, both men are giving me a hard stare and the women both seem surprised.

“I will get this noted and see what all we can do as far as sentencing tomorrow, but she does deserve the death penalty. I would have been more shocked except that we had seen some of it from Brandi’s perspective earlier. I will send it off to the rest of the Werewolf Council and see what their vote is, but as far as I am concerned, she killed the former Luna, and for that alone, it warrants the death penalty” the woman who had been holding the hand of one of the witches said.

This is not good at all for me. She is from the Werewolf Council. Apparently, they allowed her to be able to see my thoughts too. Brandi is in trouble too then, as I allowed Brandi to sprinkle some of the poison on Sera’s food too. We thought that it was pretty funny that we were doing it together like that. Then Brandi would take Sera’s plate out to her. It used to be a little funny, but not anymore. I was uncuffed from the chair and escorted back into my cell, where the original set of cuffs were taken off and I glared at the group outside my cell.

“Oh, yes. One more thing” The tall handsome man said and he and the woman next to him started chanting and the next minute the burning pain was back in force from when Gerald tried to reject me. What is going on? I fell to the ground again writhing in pain on the floor. What is happening to me? Am I dying? The chanting stopped but the pain still remained. Gerald is now sitting in the chair that I had been sitting in earlier, so I know it had affected him as well. Gerald is able to get up and he thanked them both for the help, What is he talking about? Suddenly I can smell everyone outside of my cell. I guess the witches had covered their scents so I wouldn’t know that they were there near me. Well, it worked, I suddenly realized that I can’t smell my mate anymore.

“What have you done, Gerald?” I asked him.

“You wanted me to die with you, but that will not be happening. They read my memories first and knew I hadn’t done anything to Sloan, so they were willing to help me. We all knew that you were OK with me dying with you. I guess if you couldn’t get Sloan, you were willing for me to take her place. Well, that won’t be happening either. We are no longer mates. They broke our bond” Gerald tells me, and I tried to pull myself up from the floor, but I am too weak. I can’t get up at all, I am very weak right now.

“Why, why would you help him break the bond?” I asked them. I wish again that they were not here, they are ruining everything.

“That is easy, Meghan. Seraphina was our granddaughter. You killed her. Our great-grandson didn’t have any involvement in it, and we wanted to help him out as we know that your plan was to keep from getting the death penalty by keeping yourself attached to an innocent. You were thinking that you would just live out your life, in a cell. Let me assure you it was our pleasure to assist them with not only checking your memories but Brandi’s as well. We claim Rob and Sloan, but we will not be claiming Brandi, simply because of her actions. No, rest assured tomorrow, you WILL die, and in a very bad way, as will your daughter Brandi. I will be carrying it out for the Council. Just like it was my pleasure to stop you from killing Sloan and the Wright family at the gate. It will be my pleasure to take your life tomorrow, and Brandi’s too, just as you two conspired and took my Sera’s. I promise you that I will be the last thing that you see in your life, and I will make sure that you get exactly what you deserve. I will see you soon, Meghan” the man told me and then turned his back to me, and he headed up the stairs. I was momentarily stunned, how did he know what I was planning to do? I didn’t tell anyone what my plan was. The group is heading up the stairs to leave the cell area when I realized exactly what he had said. That I was going to die tomorrow.

“Damn you all!! You aren’t supposed to read people’s minds, that was not fair. You can’t use that s**t against me. You didn’t get me to admit anything” I called out after them in anger. No one stopped or came back. s**t, how can this be? I thought I had the perfect plan, but it turns out, I didn’t. It looks like tomorrow, Brandi, and I will die. How could this have gotten so messed up? I had the perfect plan. I stared up at the ceiling. What can I do to stop this?
