Rejecting, Your Broken Promises
Chapter 40

Fallon’s POV

B***d Claw Pack

I have got this in the bag. I have him wrapped so tightly around my finger that I am surprised he isn’t choking yet. Chris will do anything to help me get out of here. I am so glad for gossiping Omegas, they know everything that goes on around here and they don’t mind sharing the tea. Chris had overheard some talking in the dining room that Peyton was going to be coming to accept the apology of Alpha James, and also that she may be coming to see me on the same trip.

Sorry to disappoint b***h, but I will NOT still be here when you get here. Maybe if I am lucky King Sebastian might kill not only Alpha James, but Timothy as well because I managed to escape. I wish them dying would mean a pardon for me, but it won’t. I will never be able to come back here again, but after everyone but Chris turned their back on me, I don’t even want to come back here. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful punishment for Timothy to be killed in punishment for me escaping, a laugh spills from my lips as I think about it. He hasn’t checked on me the first time. He is leaving me down here to rot, and I had really cared for him. I wanted to be his Luna more than anything else for these last 10 years. But look at what it got me, trapped down here like a rat.

My eyes narrow, and I have to breathe through my mouth, even I am disgusted by how I look, and my smell is horrible. How can Chris care so much for me with me looking like this? I am bathing the second we get off of our pack land. They will send trackers after us, and I am ripe, they will find me in no time, but I won’t have time for anything except trying to get to Chris’ truck. I feel itchy all the time now, and I need a nice warm shower. I already know I will need two baths and a shower to try to feel clean again. I already know where we will be going, as few places will accept rogues into their packland. Chris has already gassed his truck up and left it in a grove near here. He has a tent, blankets, a lot of canned foods, and water in the truck. He also emptied his accounts out so when we are gone, we are gone. We won’t be able to stop anywhere near here, and with King Sebastian after us, very few places will be willing to take us in. But I want to live, and there are worse things than living with Chris from now on. He dotes on me, and he really does love me.

I have felt a little guilty the last few days. He is serious about his feeling for me, and I am absolutely using him to get what I want. I don’t know when I grew a conscience, but this sucks. I have got to get out of here, to safety, and this was my only option. I planned everything out, and he has carried it all out for me. He even managed to get a spare key to my cell, so as soon as they get here, at the gate he will hightail it out of wherever he is to come and get me, so we can go. The men around the perimeter will be coming in with them, and I will finally be able to get the hell out of here. Once we get away, we can try to find a place to stop and get clean, and I will start to pay Chris back at that time. My cell is so dark, and I am dreading the blinding light that I know is outside, but I will just have Chris hold my hand as he guides me to the fence and out of this stupid pack. I cannot wait to see B***d Claw behind me for good. I am sick of this place and scared to death that something will go wrong and that today is the day I die.

I don’t care how long it takes me. She deserves it, she is the reason that my life is ruined, and everyone is bending over backward to try to make her happy now. I will be paying her back for all of this after I escape and can get a plan together. I wish to the Goddess that Alpha James hadn’t done more damage, he should have just freaking killed her when he had a chance, but it brought him comfort to punish the person responsible for Luna Tori being killed. Once he knew it was me, I was truly scared for my life. He was not pulling any punches, and he was even more furious that I led him to punish Peyton, knowing that she had done nothing. She HAD done something, she was trying to take what was MINE. I had called Timothy as mine from all the other she-wolves, way before she even got here. Everyone knew it and bowed out gracefully. But she wouldn’t take a hint. That day I caught them kissing, I could have happily killed her myself.

She sure didn’t look like much to me, but apparently, Timothy liked what he saw when he looked at her. I tried everything to keep them apart, but nothing worked. I am just glad that Timothy wasn’t there that day with them for their picnic, or he would have been killed too. I had everything had been working out so well too. The Alpha wasn’t eating, showering, or doing any grooming because he was so upset. I started asking if I could take him meals up to his room for the Omegas, under the guise that I actually gave a damn about him. It just gave me time to talk to him as I pretended to care and encourage him to eat, as I planted the seeds of “This only happened because she was here”, “No one had ever attacked us like this before”, “Why didn’t she protect the Luna?”, “She must have hated her aunt and the Luna to have allowed them to die like that” over and over again, and then he saw me hitting her one day and it all clicked into place. It was almost too easy to lead him where I wanted him to go. Once I had him focused on her, it was a done deal, as he made sure to make her life a living hell. But she just wouldn’t die. So I had to up it for her and mentioned that she shouldn’t be allowed to eat too. Obviously we weren’t doing enough to her, and then an unplanned alliance between Alpha James and I started, so we could punish her even more.

“Fallon” I heard Chris’ low voice coming toward me.

“Yes?” I get up and head for the cell door as he liked to be close to me, even in this horrible state. There was no way that he could see me like this and still love me, and yet it never seemed to bother him. He really must truly love me.

“I have heard that they will be coming this week, so sometime in the next few days. They did not give us a day, or time, so you won’t have a lot of notice when they do come. I will grab some syringes that I got from the pack hospital so I can knock out the other guards before I come to get you. They will try to keep you from escaping, and I don’t want to kill my friends. It was the only option that I could come up with. Just be ready to go at a moment’s notice. Everything will be just fine. We have made our plans, and we just need to put them in motion” Chris tells me, and I nod at him. He gives me a smile and takes off again. I am so thankful for him to be taking a chance on me. I will be ready to go when he comes to get me.

I owe him everything, and I trust him. I don’t know why, because I rarely trust anyone, but for some reason, I am calm around Chris. He brings out the best in me, and I have no idea why. I am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I am just going to roll with it and pray it works out for both of us.

I think about how all of this has played out. I wish I could talk to Timothy one more time before I leave, but I know he won’t come, he has been ignoring all my requests. He has given up on me, and I wanted to tell him off for just wanting to have Peyton now, now that he knew who and what she was. He is still the same greedy bastard that he always was. He sees greener pastures and he wants to head on over there. I did everything that he ever asked of me, and I am pretty pissed that he would betray my trust like that. I want to get him back as well, but if this all works out, I pray he gets his reward for me getting out of here, by a super pissed-off Alpha King.

I hear voices coming down the hallway and I tense up. Alpha James is coming, damn, I really wanted to miss the next installment of punishments, but I guess that would be asking too much. He had the Gamma with him, as my dad has not participated in any of my punishments. He also has a strong warrior with him. He has been having issues with being able to physically hurt me for the last several days, so he brings someone with him that doesn’t have that problem. I will not be missing this at all. I wonder what he will be dishing out today.

“Fallon, so good to see you again. How are you today?” Alpha James asked me, and his sarcasm was not missed by me.

“I am fine Alpha James” I reply back in the same sarcastic tone. I made an effort to not roll my eyes as I look him dead in the eye. I know it is disrespectful, but I already know that we could both die soon, so why not show him what I really think of him?

“I didn’t want you to think that I had forgotten about you. I am here for your next installment of punishment” Alpha James said, and someone sat a chair down for him in the hallway. I appreciated getting the extra sandwich and water from Chris, but I am not as strong as I am supposed to be and I already know that I won’t be able to fight the warrior off, let alone the Gamma. I refused to train because as the future Luna, I don’t need to be fighting, I need to be protected. The warrior entered my cell and Alpha James nodded to him. I was punched in the face, and the blow knocks me to the floor. I am kicked very hard in the ribs and I am having a hard time keeping from crying out, but I won’t give him the satisfaction. My left arm had healed and I couldn’t contain the scream of pure pain when it just got re-broken. I collapse onto the floor and I am angry, so angry that I cannot contain the glare at Alpha James. The warrior exits my cell and shuts the door back to being locked

“I don’t know why you insist on doing this to me. I do not deserve all of the torture that you are giving me. It doesn’t change a damn thing, she healed up, and she is just fine, more than fine actually as she has Percy Wright as her mate now. I am not a healer and I don’t heal up as she did. This was more your fault than mine. I don’t believe that I should have gotten a death sentence. Yes, I messed up, but I was a child, and what child hasn’t made mistakes before? If we are assigning blame, you are WAY more at fault than I was. You made many more, and bigger mistakes, you should bear the greater portion of our punishment” I told Alpha James. I was about to be leaving soon, so I wanted him to know what I thought of him, and Timothy.

“ Fallon, you dare to tell me I need the punishment more than you? You, who started this whole thing because you wanted Timothy. Everyone knows what you did, and why you did it. They saw how jealous and spiteful you were because he wanted her more than he wanted you. I even pushed for it because I hadn’t seen the real you and believed the lies you spread around. I believe that you were a good person because your parents are such good people. I was wrong, you have so much evilness inside you that is absolutely shocking. You kept your true self hidden very well, kept away from all of us. I am thankful for her getting her wolf and escaping, if she hadn’t I may have just forced Timothy to mark and mate you. I would have ended up losing him too when you are put to death. We would never have known what a true piece of s**t that you are if she hadn’t. I am so glad it has come to light who the real villain is in all of this. I don’t know how you sleep at night knowing that two innocent women are dead, and another abused for so many years, and you care nothing at all about any of it. I feel so bad about it that I can’t eat now, knowing what I did to her. I never listened to her telling me that she was innocent, it just made me hurt her more. It is affecting my sleep too, I will never be able to get past this knowing what I did to her. Every time I get to sleep I see her eyes looking at me with frustration and reproach. She was right, and I didn’t listen to her. I just hope that the Goddess knows my heart and allows my spirit to be with my beautiful Tori again.” Alpha James told me, and I put my head back and laughed loudly at his response.

“You are quite weak, and so is your son. You are both utterly pathetic You wanted to punish someone, you needed to punish someone, but now that you know that you will be put to death, you have no balls and cry that you feel bad about it. Ridiculous. You were all in on hurting her too, and I barely gave you a few little pushes to do it. So don’t give me that, at all. You wanted to have someone to punish for losing Luna Tori, and I gave her to you on a silver platter. You always felt better after you punished her. You never even cared a tiny bit for that lady who was with Katrina, or Peyton, whoever the f**k she is. So, stop crying about it because you just found out that she was important, that she wasn’t Katrina, but actually the Alpha King’s daughter, Peyton. Suck it up and stop whining. You should be f*****g embarrassed of yourself as an Alpha anyway, for taking ideas and suggestions from a 14-year-old girl. I still to this day can’t believe that you actually listened to me. I mean don’t get me wrong, I am super glad that you did because she deserved what she got for trying to take Timothy away from me. In fact, I wouldn’t change a thing of what happened other than I would have made sure that Peyton’s stupid a*s was killed before she got her wolf. I do feel bad about Luna Tori being killed, but she should have called for help sooner, she knew what was going on unlike the rest of us. You made your choices old man, and you need to live with them. I am, and I am fine living the rest of my life with it” I told him, and from the growl emanating from him now, I know that I have gone a few steps too far, but I needed to say that to him. He made his choice on his own. Did I lead him? Absolutely. But you won’t see me sitting here whining about it. It is done, finished, get over it.

“Thank you my dear for reminding me that it was all your idea to hurt her. You thought that she was alone in the world and that she would be easier to take advantage of and hurt. You don’t mind me allowing Timothy and King Sebastian to see your actual opinion, do you? I deliberately left you alone for a couple of days for you to heal, and feel better, so you could really show the “real you” to us. I wanted something to show them at the gate in case they weren’t going to enter. I am quite sure that they will be now that we all know from the horse’s mouth, exactly how you feel about Peyton, and what all that you did. After hearing this I am sure that at least King Sebastian and his men will be entering our pack if only to give us both our punishments. I am so looking forward to meeting the Goddess and seeing my beautiful Tori again, but even more, seeing you get what you deserve for ALL that you have done to her. I must say that you seem just fine right now, even with just the one meal I was allowing you.” Alpha James said and started tapping his finger against his l*p and I can tell that he is thinking, and then he gave me a scary grin.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” I asked him and then gasped as I see a warrior come out from behind the wall with a cell phone in his hands. Now that I am on the receiving end of being recorded without my knowledge, I don’t like it at all. They have no right to shame and embarrass me. Oh Goddess, did I just say all that? I am crying now, but not in sadness. I am angry and frustrated that my plan may not work out, because of my big mouth. Once he shows it to King Sebastian, he will kill me as soon as he gets down to the cells. I let my mouth go and say what I was actually thinking. s**t, I should have kept it shut. I am so stupid. I just signed my own death warrant.

“I will see you later my dear, I have things to do, and people to question. I was barely able to walk, even though I am clearly much stronger than you. I feel your wolf, and she is doing just fine, not suffering from a lack of food at all. So, gentlemen, we have a traitor in our ranks that I need to weed out. You are not humble in weakness like I was, you are just fine and I will find out who is helping you, and why. When I do have my answers, I will return, as I am quite sure this won’t take long” Alpha James said to me, before turning to leave and I can’t stop the shudder that goes through me. I pray that Peyton and her group come soon because I need to leave now. I don’t know why I can’t control my mouth. I could cost Chris his life, and for some reason, that really upsets me. I need to get as far away from here, as I can as soon as I can. I will warn Chris as soon as I see him again, he needs to look out because I got too bold and showed our hand.
