Rejecting, Your Broken Promises
Chapter 77

Percy’s POV

B***d Rose Pack

Everyone is tense. Heath is getting half the people we arrived with ready to go back, but I need to get back to Ever Green now. My mind is racking, Peyton is so scared. I don’t know what to do. Beth stands up and said, “Come with me, Percy. I can help you.”

I follow her to a corner in the lobby and she smiled and said, “Take my hand.” I took her hand without thinking and the next thing I know we are at Ever Green. Beth kneels down and then sits down on the ground, this trip to transport me to Ever Green and taking me with her has made her weak. I knelt down to help her, but she waved me away and said, “I am fine, go save your mate.” I mindlink to Von that Beth had brought me here and that I needed her to please get help for her, and where she currently is.

The pack is in chaos as they are looking for and trying to locate Jasmine, and I knew my mate was close as I just spoke to her. I heard a scream coming from a distance, and I knew it was Peyton. She said that she would scream out for them to be able to find Jasmine. She wanted Jasmine safe, and now I need to find Peyton to get her safe. I ran towards the front gate, which I know was not the same direction as her screams, but I need to get to the access road that they will be leaving on to try to cut them off. Thankfully, the gate guards always keep a vehicle or two there, in case of emergency. Just in case the gates need to be blocked more securely than just the gate preventing their entry. I grabbed a set of keys and take off with one of the guards coming with me. I guess he knew what was going on, or Heath let him know. The gate was already opening when we were getting into the SUV and we are pulling off to go to the main road. I am flying and I look over and notice that the guard with me is Kevin. He is about my age, and he takes his job very seriously.

Kevin is also pretty calm in emergency situations, he is just sitting there, and not running on at the mouth. He knows that I am extremely anxious and he is just radiating calm. Maybe I should let him drive, as I am struggling to stop the panic from rising up inside me. I quickly pull over and he knows what I need without me saying anything. I think Kevin will need a promotion after this just for how quickly he realized what was going on, and what needed to be done on two occasions I needed him in just the last 4 minutes. I was right to pick him to drive, he is level-headed, and he quickly parked in a secluded area on our land, just off the main road from the highway. I had never seen this spot before, and it was big enough to pull two cars into, but you could move back enough to watch the world go by, unless you have your eyes peeled for it, you would never even see it.

Less than 2 minutes after we are parked, we see an unfamiliar SUV roll by us leaving the pack at a high speed. Kevin lets them go by us and then around the corner before he pulled out. Kevin stayed back, and he never got within a mile of them. I made the right decision, I would have been right on their a*s to get my mate back. That it could have resulted in them or both of us wrecking, and she could have been killed. If I get my mate back, I will make sure that whatever Kevin wants or needs, I will get it for him. I won’t be able to thank him enough. I stare at the SUV that is about a mile ahead of us and start praying to the Goddess for her to be protected. I don’t think that Timothy is brave enough for him to have come with them. He is like a cockroach, running away when the lights come on. He probably paid someone to do his dirty work for him, I am going to kill him this time. He will get no other chance to snatch my mate away from me again. I take this time to call King Sebastian on the phone and tell him what happened and, our current location. He was upset but then started drilling out orders in a way that even my mom would be impressed, and she is at an expert level. We will be approaching his packlands in about 10 minutes, and I will stay on the phone until he is with us. I won’t be able to do this on my own.

I try to stay as calm as I can, but I do know that one of those bastards hurt her, I felt it. Whoever it was is going to die today, I don’t care about his excuse. He hit her so hard that he knocked her out, and he will have to pay for that. King Sebastian stayed on the phone with me and as we passed the exit to go to his pack, I saw a line of both SUVs and cars in the mix. I told him where the vehicle she was in was, and where we were and they merged onto the highway smoothly in front of us, right between our vehicles. I can’t see her anymore, but I know that her father will not let them lose that SUV. Now they can trade places and let different vehicles be behind them, so they won’t pick up on being followed, although since Kevin hung back, they never saw us in the first place when they passed us. They were still probably thinking that they were in the clear.

We continued to head to B***d Claw, and I figured as much. He would be wanting to keep her close to his pack, just for convenience. But with the bad b***d between Timothy and Peyton, and her being taken he had to know that we would assume it was either him or Jasper who took her. He is an i***t, and I will be pleased to end him. My phone rings and it is King Sebastian. I answer it quickly and prayed that there isn’t a problem, I can’t see her vehicle, and I am suddenly scared to death. Did we lose them?

“Percy, they are getting off to go to B***d Claw. Stay behind my SUVs, we are going to let the cars follow them now. Packs are known for using SUVs and the cars will be less suspicious. We will do a turnaround and then loop back to follow them. My son Christian and his mate Amanda are in the first vehicle and do not worry, he will NOT lose them. He just got his sister back, and he will not fail her. The second car has my other son, Bryson, and my Royal Beta, Harrison, in it. They won’t lose her, we just need to see where they are going to hide her, and then we can make a plan. So just follow my SUVs. I know you will still worry, but try not to. We train for a lot of these types of instances, and they won’t see them” King Sebastian told me, he is right. He can tell me not to worry a thousand times, but I can’t stop myself from doing it.

“I will try my best sir, but until I get her back in my arms, I won’t be OK” I reply to him truthfully. I then nod to Kevin to do what we had been instructed to do. My hands are tied. He is the King, and I am not technically an Alpha just yet, I will let him take the lead in this, but that doesn’t mean that I need to like it, because I don’t.

My phone rings again and it is Heath. I greet him quickly and try to stamp down my emotions, but I know he knows what I am feeling. “Percy, where are you now we are nearing Ever Green, and half the team is going there to check on Jasmine. The rest of us are coming to where you are.” I fill him in on where we are this moment, and that Timothy was behind her being taken. Heath growls out his frustration and asks if anyone has reported this to the werewolf council yet. Now that is a good question. I didn’t, but I bet King Sebastian had. I go to call King Sebastian back so we can all speak on a conference call.

As soon as King Sebastian answers I inform him that it is both Heath and me on the phone. “Sebastian, has the werewolf council been informed of the a*******n yet?” Heath asks, going straight into it.

“Yes, as soon as we got a visual on their vehicle when we got on the interstate, I called them and reported it. They are Ok with whatever punishment we want to assign to them. They know the whole situation, as I filled them in on it after I saw how Timothy reacted when she accepted his rejection with her real name. I knew he was plotting but didn’t think he had the balls to pull this off. He has always struck me as weak, and Peyton was right about him not being able to take over the Alpha position from Alpha James at this time” King Sebastian said, and I have to agree with him. Timothy is more of a schemer, and a backstabber, he won’t come at you from the front. He will always try to hide his true nature and intentions. He is indeed what they thought of him. Peyton was right he is weak, and unable to lead his pack, she was completely correct when she told the council that.

“Sebastian, I was thinking that I could go by the B***d Claw Pack and play like I am there because we think that Alpha Jasper has taken Peyton. I will take Alpha James aside and tell him the real reason that I am there. Alpha James needs to help us deal with his son. Timothy will think he is in the clear, for the moment. It will also keep him at B***d Claw, just in case he is planning on a “visit” to Peyton tonight. We need to keep him away from her at all costs. I think he would hurt her intentionally for causing him so much pain from the rejection. It did appear both times that it happened that he took it way worse than she did. He is a spiteful person, and he might feel like he deserves some kind of retaliation against her. I know what to do just in case he suspects that we are onto him. He cannot outsmart me” Heath tells us. My heart clenches at the thought of him touching her. I will rip him apart, she is not his, she is mine and only mine. Aramis is so upset that he cannot hold it in, and the roar is deafening in the SUV. I see Kevin look at me startled as he was not expecting it, but he kept the SUV in our lane.

“Young Alpha, calm down. We will get her back tonight. I am thinking that we will get this done quickly and Heath can go in first, to speak with Alpha James. I just got a text from my Beta. Bryson had Christian pull off, to avoid suspicion, and the SUV Peyton was in turned off right in front of them onto some non-paved road. We will find it easily as they dropped a tracker off across the street from the spot where they turned it in. We will not lose them, Bryson drove off slowly and Christian came back that way a few minutes later and the tracker was still there, and the beacon strong. Bryson will wait ten minutes and then he will come back through to make sure they haven’t found it. We will be able to come back in and find them. How many men do you have with you, Heath?” King Sebastian said, and they got back to talking back and forth, but all I can think about is my mate, alone with men who don’t mind hurting her. I can barely contain myself, my wolf wants out now, he wants to track her down, and save her. He wants to kill the man who hurt her, and probably all the men involved in taking her. I cannot imagine a reason that they would take my mate, that would be acceptable to me at this point.

I heard my name being called out and then Kevin clears his throat loudly, before I realize that they are speaking to me, and I am zoned out with b***d l**t. I cleared my throat which is suddenly tight with all my emotions roaring through me. “I am sorry, I was zoned out, what did you say?” I asked them.

“Percy, I will be there around 530. King Sebastian is going to get us a group of rooms for all of us at a local hotel for tonight, we will use the meeting room there at the hotel as our command center to get our plan straight. King Sebastian will be having three of his warriors go in to find their camp, or location, and see what we are up against. We will not go in blind, they will stay there and let us know what kind of situation that we are in so we can make our plan of attack. Peyton will not be alone, if she is in immediate danger, they will go to get her. We will get there at dusk to put our plan into action. King Sebastian and I will lay it all out when we get together. We can have some food delivered so we can eat while we make our plans. Do not worry Percy, you will have your mate back tonight. Do not let Aramis go wild, we need to be controlled in what we do, I don’t want Timothy getting a heads up that we know anything. We don’t want him to try to escape before we can get our hands on him” Heath tells me, and I trust and believe in him. I know he had to leave our family at B***d Rose to come and help with this, and really the only good thing that will come out of this, is that I will only have to deal with Jasper next, and then Peyton will be safe to live her life.

We drop the call, and we followed King Sebastian to a fairly nice hotel. I don’t know how many rooms he will have to get, but I am sure that this will be costing him a large amount of money. We entered the lobby, and as usual in a group this large, we are attracting a lot of attention. Women start standing straighter as we cross the lobby, but the head of our group King Sebastian ignores them all. When he gets to the counter the lady smiles and hits the intercom to call the Manager to the desk. The manager, a lady in her fifties, arrives quickly and said, “Mr. Hunt, we are so glad that you are planning on staying here with us tonight. We do have the rooms that you requested blocked off for you. I have 4 rooms with king beds, and your 20 double occupancy rooms are ready as well. We hope you enjoy your stay and let me know if you require anything else during your stay here. The meeting room has been scheduled for you to use and has already been set up with some snacks and drinks. Here are the room keys to the king bedrooms, and I will give your assistant the keys to the double occupancy rooms.”

I was wondering why she was so formal with him, and then calling the Royal Beta his assistant when I realized that this is probably one of his human businesses. The Manager smiled at us before she left to go back to her office. I guess since this hotel is about an hour away from his pack he comes here often, hence how they knew who he was so quick. I have never seen such a quick check-in, in my life. We didn’t really have any luggage, just numerous duffle bags, so as the keys were passed out, I was surprised that I got one of the King rooms from King Sebastian. We had just entered the meeting room and the duffle bags were being stacked in the corner for now.

“You can give this room to Heath when he gets here. I won’t need it, I won’t be able to sleep anyway worried about Peyton” I told him as I tried to hand him the room card back. I also tried keeping the pain out of my voice, but it was not working.

“We will get her tonight son, and you will both need the room. She will need you to help calm her, and you will need her to calm your wolf down. Now let’s go get this planned out” King Sebastian tells the group.

The meeting starts after King Sebastian advised that the meeting room had been soundproofed when it was built. I was surprised, but that was a great idea, it paid off already for us being able to speak freely. We got pizzas ordered and brought to the room for us to eat during the meeting. We already had an outline before they got here, so we were able to get started at 6, with everything nailed down by 7. We all got ready to go, and the jump bags were taken up to the rooms, to be stored. The weapons bags stayed with us, as we will need them. I start praying to the Goddess that I will get my mate back safely, but Timothy will pay with his life for taking her.
