Rejecting, Your Broken Promises
Chapter 37

Fallon’s POV

B***d Claw Pack

My life has become a nightmare. My hair is matted, I stink because I haven’t had a shower in a week, and I have NEVER looked this bad in my life. I am in a great deal of pain. Currently, my left arm and at least 2 of my ribs are broken. I don’t even have a blanket, so to stay warm, I have to strip my clothes off to phase into my wolf. I could phase in them but then I would be naked and in full view of anyone in the cells, or the guards. I hate having to do it, but the cells get cold overnight.

I have asked the guards to ask Timothy to come to see me at least 10 times, and he refuses my requests each and every time. I am sure that they are being delivered, as two of the new guards find me attractive, and they believe that my punishment is totally unfair. Me too, I find this whole thing totally unfair. How could I have known who was looking for her and why? That b***h has all the luck. First, she has Timothy wrapped around her freaking finger. He had always thought that she was wonderful.

It just comes naturally to her, taking men away from other people apparently. I spent years becoming the perfect Luna for Timothy, and she just showed up to ruin it. What in the hell did he see in her? She had torn clothes, she was way too thin, and almost no shape at all. Her hair was a train wreck and needed help. The only thing that she could do well was clean. That was it. I helped her learn a skill. She should be thanking me. How in the hell was I supposed to know that she was here to be protected? No one told me why, I just knew she was getting way too close to Timothy, and I already knew that I wanted to be the Luna here. She was in my way, and she needed to be dealt with. I mean, really it was perfect, it worked out so well for me, only to crash and burn after she left here last week.

I know why I am here. Apparently, she is the King’s daughter. I found out why she was here during a beating this week, right before my leg got broken a few days ago. The Alpha is pissed, and probably scared, because we both have an expiration date on us, as the King will be here in three weeks to dole out our sentences. I think I have been freaking punished enough. Goddess, I am hurting right now. My wolf does heal me, but with only one meal a day now, she is suffering too. I asked for all three meals and the Alpha laughed and told me that it had been my idea to not let her eat, so he was passing that one to me as well since I was so thoughtful to pass it on to her.

I remember my first morning waking up in the cells and not knowing what was going to happen to me. The Alpha had shown up with a notebook in hand that he had written in and then spent 20 minutes telling me what was about to happen. I was horrified, but I knew my parents would NEVER allow him to follow through with it. I was their only daughter and mom doted on me. She and dad both loved me. Yes, I was spoiled, but I am the Beta’s daughter, and I am important. I am supposed to be spoiled and treated well. I was probably going to be ranked wolf’s mate. How was I to know that stupid girl was too? I mean really, how could I have possibly known? Just looking at her, she seemed pretty simple. But I know now, after having gone through some of what she has, she was incredibly strong. She was hurting like that and still did her work, and never complained. A fat lot of good it would do her though to complain or break, both I and the Alpha would have loved to see her break down and cry.

The worst part was that although dad came down here once to tell me how disappointed in me that he was for what I did. It made me cry knowing that he was so upset with me, but what hurt the most was that my mom never came. Mom was so hurt when Luna Victoria died. They had been best friends for 27 years, ever since middle school. They even got pregnant together. They were tighter than sisters. Mom would never forgive me. My mom has always doted on me, my whole life, and I remember how angry she was when Luna Victoria died. It was so hard for her to get over it. In fact, she wanted to kill Peyton for it. Mom had gotten in a few good licks on Peyton too before dad finally told her that he knew that she was innocent, and to leave her alone. They just didn’t have any idea that I wasn’t innocent of it. I still remember being shocked to see that guy as a Rogue. I recognized him, but I was not dumb enough to mention it to anyone. I would rather have forgotten all about it.

I wish she had never escaped. I want to kill her and that girl Amanda that helped her, and if I ever get out of this, I will do just that. I have nothing else to do here but think. No phone, or TV. Hell at this point I would even try to read, not that I like to read. I would totally like to do something better, like shopping, or getting my nails done. I g***n and look at my hand, my nail polish is almost completely chipped off. Yes, I am so going to make them both pay for what I was being punished for. If that b***h hadn’t come here, it never would have happened. It wasn’t my fault she was after what I wanted, she got what she deserved. I wish they had been successful. I wish they had taken her far, far away from here. I curse the day that she was born.

I hear footsteps coming down the hallway and, from how silent they are trying to be, I already know who it is, Chris. I have known him since junior high, and he was a warrior here. He always had a crush on me, and I was going to make use of it, as he was my only hope to get out of here. Whatever I need to do, I will. I have to make sure I can escape, and get my revenge. I have nothing left to do but think, and there is no other way for me. I need help. I can’t do it alone. I am about to put my plan into play now, and I am praying to the Goddess that it works.

I am sitting on the floor, so I will look more pitiful as I will be looking up at him. I quickly prick my eyes with my right side pinkie nail, so they are filled with tears, and I get ready to do the acting job of my life. I see Chris come around the corner, and he has a wrapped sandwich for me, and then slips me a bottle of water, while keeping an eye out behind him for anyone coming. The Alpha said one meal a day, to try to keep me weak. He is weak too. He has lost a lot of weight himself. He couldn’t even punish me the last few days because he is so weak, but he is the Alpha, and others can and will do it. A lot of them are mad at me for our Luna dying. I mean, how in the hell could I have known? I was young too. I had no way of knowing that my telling that man where she was, would result in our Luna dying. I would never have done it. Bless him, I really need this. Now to speak to him before he takes off. He never stays with me, he always brings me something wrapped, along with a bottle of water, and then takes off. He always comes back a few hours later to get the water bottle and wrapper.

“Chris” I gasped out like I was dying, “Thank you so much for the food and water. I am starving, I can only depend on you to help me”, I told him. He pauses for a second and then looks down at me in surprise. I can see that he is moved by the tears sparkling in my eyes, and I know I need to keep going, as he is truly my only hope of living.

“Chris, I hate that I can’t thank you properly. I wish we could talk more and get to know each other before I am sentenced to death”, I tell him.

“You don’t know that it will be death, Fallon. It could just be what Alpha James has done to you so far. Don’t give up hope. It might be OK. I will try to help you whenever I can. I will always bring you food, even when I am on my off days, I will find a way”, Chris told me, and his voice was very soothing to me for some reason. The cell area is dark unless they turn the lights on for me to be tortured. I can’t see him very well, but I already know what he looks like. Chris is tall, 6’2” with a nice broad chest and a well-developed body. He had black hair and very light blue eyes, and he would have been drop-dead gorgeous, except for his mother’s thin long nose, and his father’s weak chin. I have never found him attractive enough to date, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I will have him wrapped around my finger soon enough. He is already disobeying the Alpha by bringing me food. I would be too weak to even phase into my wolf soon if it wasn’t for him.

I start to sob lowly to him as I press my breasts through the bars of my cell towards him. “I am so scared Chris. I don’t know what will happen to me. I only wanted to have a family and pups. I will never get to experience that now. I do know that it will be death for me because the King is furious, and he will want his daughter to be avenged. I never knew who that man was. I was young too. I made a mistake trusting an adult and now I will be put to death for it. I swear I didn’t know who he was, or why he was looking for her”, I told him, and then started crying again. That part was the whole truth. The best lies have an element of truth in them. I wanted her gone, but I never wanted anything to happen to Luna Victoria. Chris reaches through the bars and squeezes my hand to comfort me.

I looked down at the floor shyly at him touching my hand, and I smirked because I know that I have him now. I just need to convince him that I will do anything to leave this pack with him. I am going to have to really work him, as they will know who helped me, because if he stays here, he will be killed. He is a nice guy, who feels sorry for me, and I will milk it to the end. I just need to make him see that claiming me as his, and us leaving to go live somewhere else together, is the way to go. I will mention the packs that accept non-violent rogues and change our names. I already have that worked out too. I am not going to let him mark me, I will allow him to have s*x with me though. Chris is in great shape, and his body is quite acceptable to me. I can make this work for me. I have to get out of here.

“Don’t worry Fallon. I will help you, we will figure something out. I have always cared for you, I love you and I don’t want you to be killed. Just seeing how badly you have been hurt by the Alpha makes my b***d boil. You were an innocent girl who made a mistake. You have been punished enough. I will come back later to get your trash. They can’t know I am feeding you or I won’t be allowed in here anymore”, Chris told me, and then took off quickly down the hallway. I don’t know how such a large man can move so silently through here, and at that rate of speed.

I smirk, I already have it basically worked out. Now I just need to plant the seeds and water them, and I will be out of here in the next few days. I have already heard that since Alpha James has willingly accepted his punishment, as well as finding me as the reason for Peyton being found, they have pulled the majority of the men around the camp. I put my back against the wall, lay my feet across the bed, and try to get comfortable as I eat my food in silence and think about what I need to do.

I get my plan straight in my head, and it is a good one. I know it will work, as I have been privy to plenty of conversations between my dad and the Alpha. I know how they operate when needing a large group to come into a pack. They will use some of the men at the perimeter, and it is going to be a tight timeline, but I think we can get this done. I already know now what is going to happen when they get here to carry out our sentence. I just need to know when now. I also need to make sure Chris knows that I am willing to do anything that he needs me to do, both here and when we get to where we are going. I am good to be with him, he is really going to be sticking his neck out for me, so I will owe him big time.

I will be starting out my plan tonight, as I don’t have much time before King Sebastian comes to carry out my sentence. He may not wait until the end of the month he gave us. If the werewolf Council grants my death, they could be here as soon as next week. I need to get this plan going NOW. When I hear him coming back down to get the trash, I will make sure that I am ready for him. I go ahead and prep myself, as he will be coming back sometime in the next 30 minutes, and he is quick, so I have to be prepared and ready to go. I took my bra off and waited for him. He will be coming back soon, and I strain my ears to hear his light footsteps, so it won’t be obvious. I hear his footsteps coming and I immediately pull my shirt over my head as I stand and I turn slightly so he doesn’t get a direct view, just the side of my breast as he appears. I heard his footsteps stop and I waited for a few beats like I didn’t hear him and then turned towards him with my shirt clutched to my chest like I was trying to keep myself covered.

It worked, Chris cannot stop staring at me in my semi-unclothed state. His eyes are fixed on my breasts and his eyes are filled with l**t. I act shy and cover myself more, so he looks up to meet my eyes, and I can see him gulp as his Adam’s apple moves and I know I have him now. “Oh! I am so sorry Chris. I didn’t hear you coming. It is so cold in here that I have to phase into my wolf at night for warmth”, I tell him and give him a sad smile.

“It is OK, you probably didn’t hear me coming. I knew you phased for warmth, I just didn’t expect you to be getting ready for bed this early. I am sorry for surprising you like that. I just came to get the bottle and wrapper. Have a good night, Fallon. I will see you tomorrow”, Chris tells me with his eyes straying back to my breasts and I let go of the side of the shirt to re-expose the side of my breast. He almost can’t tear his eyes away, and he backs away from me a few steps and then manages to tear his gaze from me and take off back down the hallway. This is going to be easier than I thought.
