Rejecting, Your Broken Promises
Chapter 79

Percy’s POV

Rogues Camp

I had been really surprised when Heath finally arrived for the meeting and my parents were with him. It was an unexpected, but wonderful surprise. They had come in their own SUV because after we get this sorted, they were headed right back to B***d Rose in the morning. I had been worried about Sloan and Dawson being alone at B***d Rose, but they said that Sloan’s family of witches, Elena, and my uncle Gavin had Sloan covered for the night. I know that Dawson had her covered anyway, just on his own, he won’t allow anything to happen to Sloan. They were just going to grab their food from the Buffet and head up to their room. They were not going to interact with anyone until after mom and dad get back home tomorrow. They told me that it was fine because they will be back at the B***d Rose pack by 10 am at the latest tomorrow morning. Having them here helped me to calm down a little more. No one was stealthier than my mom on slipping into situations like this, mom was a lot smaller than we are, and has slipped in undetected on more occasions than we could count. I see she has her favorite holster on, she calls it her lucky holster. She had about 6 pouches built into the waist of it, for her to be able to slide her extra magazines into. They were already loaded so all she had to do was release the empty one, and slide the next one in and she was ready to go again, it literally took seconds to change it out. She also has two pocket pouches holding extra magazines, as well. According to mom, who learned it from Heath, better to have extra, than not enough when you are going to be in a battle. Mom would probably be able to single-handedly take on this whole rouge camp herself, and still have several magazines left over.

“Percy, of course, we came. We love Peyton and are here to protect and defend her too. I will not allow that jealous little prick, Timothy, to hurt her” mom told me when they got here, and she is mad. Since the meeting, she has just been standing there, with dad holding her hand to try to keep her calm, for about 30 minutes now. That is not a good sign for the rogues or Timothy. When mom doesn’t talk, that means she is furious, and I know she is highly focused and ready to go get this over with. I also know that she will slip in undetected to see how the setup there is. The three warriors there at the camp had set up about 400 feet apart from each other and were now watching the compound from all sides. They had linked back to King Sebastian that it looked to be about 19 to 20 men, and that Peyton has been locked up in a cabin by herself. I was wondering how they knew all of this, and then King Sebastian showed me some pictures on his cell phone. They were a total of 5 shots that looked like blobs of color. As werewolves, we run hotter temperatures than an average human. I could see several blobs in the pictures, but it was hard to determine exactly how many wolves were there. In the last picture, I could see a small figure, lying down on a bed. My heart squeezed to see her there, but I was glad that she was safe and was being left alone. The warriors had their orders, if something happened to Peyton, they were to alert King Sebastian immediately and then engage the rogue camp. We were minutes away from their camp but could get there quickly if a problem arose.

I wanted to go now, but I was again told to calm myself. How in the hell do I calm myself? They should all know that I need Peyton here to be able to calm me down. All these people here, and half of them are mated, so don’t tell me to freaking calm down. I believed that I could probably just go in there myself because as mad as I am right now, I think I could take the whole camp down. I want to rip them all apart and then I would feel better, but not until I get Peyton into my arms again will I calm down. Luna Queen Deanna had arrived a short time ago and she was putting on a brave face. She was supposed to stay at the Royal Knight pack, but she just couldn’t do it. She is very worried too, and I know why. Poor Peyton has had the worst luck for the last 6 and a half years. She has gone through some things that would have killed others. I know she did because I finally got the nerve to look at her medical records with doctor Willams. When it was something that I didn’t know, I would ask him. Peyton has been through hell. That is why I won’t ever force her to forgive Alpha James. I understand that he was not himself, but to me, that is just a convenient excuse for him to use. He and Fallon tortured and put Peyton on death’s door numerous times. I don’t know how they didn’t realize sooner, that she had to be a healer. From what I heard from doctor Williams, Alpha James was just glad that he was still able to continue to torment and beat her, to get vengeance for his lost Luna. If Peyton wants to forgive him, she can, but I will never forgive him for what he has done to her, it is inexcusable to me.

I heard my name being called out and I lift my head to look at Heath. I had been thinking and I wasn’t paying attention to the conversations going on around me. I was just trying to stay calm until it was go time. I was going to focus my energy on killing that a*****e who hurt Peyton and Jasmine. Her parents had mindlinked us to tell us that Jasmine had been knocked out by a new warrior, Terry, that had been in training to come into Ever Green. We know now that it was all a plan to get Peyton, but I knew who Terry was, and I didn’t like him. I was not planning on allowing him to become a member of Ever Green, but the man who had come in with him was a better guy, and I was considering letting him join the pack. I hate how we got played like this. Apparently, we need to again change the protocols we have in place on how we let people into our pack. Mom has some kind of 6th sense about it, and they had not had a bad choice come into their pack in the almost 21 years mom had been Luna. Twenty years ago, when they decided to accept non-violent rogues, we really didn’t have problems, with anyone that we took in. But we hadn’t made any real updates for the changing times. We only started making a few changes after our pack was breached by spies for Jasper, obviously, we need to make bigger and broader changes, in several different areas. For the safety of the whole pack, and for Peyton. I am already planning on making a quick stop at the Dark Savage pack to have a quick visit and talk with Alpha Jasper before I go to go back home. This bullshit that Peyton is having to deal with, is about to come to a screeching halt. He WILL let his desire to take Peyton go, or I WILL kill him. That is his choice, to make, but I won’t rest easier until he is dealt with too.

“Yes,” I said as I see that the entire room is looking at me.

“Try to reach out to Peyton again, Percy. It looks like she was either asleep or has been drugged. We need to see if you can reach her and tell her that we are coming tonight, it will comfort her” King Sebastian asked me.

I nodded and started trying to reach out. She had a block up and now I was worried that she had been drugged or been given a shot of wolfsbane to keep her from being able to contact us, or phase into her wolf, Sienna, to try to get away. I had to try several times before I finally hear her sweet, sleepy voice respond. My knees almost gave way in my relief to hear her. I was worried earlier when I couldn’t reach her, and then I was worried when King Sebastian said she could have been drugged. That was making me even more worried as I could only think of a few reasons to drug her, and none of them were good ones. I got to speak to her for a little while, and she told me that they hadn’t hurt her, and that the leader was going to bring her back the next day. Her telling me how Timothy had lied to them made me a little less angry, they actually thought that Peyton had been taken from her mate. They were just helping him get her back. It wasn’t true, but it showed that they were not ALL bad men. I will still be dealing with Terry, but the rest of them could live, unless they caused us problems when we got there. With how abusive Terry’s actions were towards women, I would be doing the supernatural world a favor in dealing with him, before he ended up hurting other women. I felt a lot better about it now that she told me that, and for the leader being willing to bring her back, I would help him out. I tell her we will see her soon and cut the link.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I relayed what she had told me to the group. I can see them nod in agreement with taking them each as a one-on-one with allowing them into our packs, but they agreed with my assessment of Terry. Heath also said that he had been going to ask Terry to leave this coming weekend and that he didn’t want to take him into our pack either. I was glad that we had been on the same page on that. I was even more glad that mom was here so she could check each of them out and let us know if we should even allow some of them into our pack. She will separate the good from the bad, and if no problems come up, I guess we will be getting more pack members for Ever Green, and B***d Rose. It is much more difficult to get into the Royal pack.

We park the 6 SUVs at a strip mall up the street, we will not going to pull onto the road heading into the camp, they would hear us coming. We want the element of surprise. Christian is in charge of this expedition, his parents stayed behind at the hotel and he will be running this with Heath and my parents. We all entered at separate points into the woods, as we were going to surround them, before slowly moving in, and tightening up on the perimeter of the camp. Mom, Heath, and Christian were all going to hide their scents and be able to go in first with us following them in. There were 24 of us total coming towards the camp, 17 warriors were with me, mom, dad, Heath, Christian, Bryson, and Royal Beta Harrison. Mom and Dad stayed together, Heath and I stayed together, and Christian, Bryson, and Beta Harrison all headed into the woods at different points. We let each of the team leaders go first with a 2-minute head start, and then we headed in to follow them.

It wasn’t quite dusk just yet, but the forest is always darker, so in our dark clothes, we blended in seamlessly with the woods around us. Although Peyton said she was treated well, and that she would be getting returned tomorrow, those were just words. People lie all the time, he could have just told her that to get her to relax and lower her guard. We won’t be lowering our guard until Peyton is safe, no one will be relaxing their guard at all. Mom, Heath, and Christian are all in place, and I am going to have to ask where they got their gear from after this. The high-tech gadgets of the infrared, the ear pieces that we have complete with being able to speak, were super impressive. Since we were all different packs, we couldn’t mindlink with each other. Mindlinking is hands-down the best way to go, as it is silent and lets everyone stay in constant contact, allowing us to work together as a cohesive unit. But having this kind of technology, let us be able to do it, and it is quite impressive.

I hear moms voice come through low, as we had all been told to stay quiet and let the leads take the point, “I am with my assigned warrior.” She was behind Peyton’s cabin. About 30 seconds later I hear Heath say the same thing, he was covering the middle, and we were following the trail he had made. We wait another minute and a half for Christian to finally advise that he is with his warrior too, he had the furthest to go as he was on the far end of the camp. The warriors they are speaking about were the three Royal warriors that had been stationed there to watch over the camp in case something happened to Peyton. They were part of the King’s own personal guard and would have probably been capable of taking out the whole rogue camp themselves, but King Sebastian was not going to take any chances on Peyton’s life. They had all been instructed to only approach the rogues if she was in imminent danger. We continue forward until we have a visual on mom, and she gives us the stop motion with her hand. She then tells us to spread out with a second motion, when we are all in place and hidden, we all hear her say, “We are in place.”

We all wait silently watching from the spot that we are in to study the camp. They were not concerned, they had not set up anything on their perimeter that would alert them of potential problems. It seemed like since they were an unknown group, at an unknown location, they assumed that they would not have any problems or issues. They hadn’t even bothered with setting up patrols. It was going to be bad for them, but very helpful to us, on taking them by surprise.

We heard Christian advise that his team was in place, and then Heath advised that his group was in place as well. We all knew what we were going to do here, we had covered it in the meeting. We spread out until we had them completely surrounded. No one had left the pack and they had a few SUVs parked near the two larger structures. I could smell food in the air, and they were probably having dinner. We did not know if they were armed, or not, but we did know that we outnumbered them and that everyone there, was a very highly trained warrior, elite warrior, or higher.

“Tanner, I see her cabin, can you come in and pick the lock on her cabin? I will cover you, but I would rather get Peyton secured if we can before we deal with the rogues. I won’t take the chance on her getting hurt” my mom said, and I agree. We hadn’t alerted them to our presence, they were not expecting us, and it is best to get her away to safety.

“I can do that. Christian, are you OK with that?” I heard dad come through my earpiece. Christian is running this, as Peyton’s brother as well as being the next Alpha King, we will not be stepping on his toes.

“I agree. I am sending Bryson and Beta Harrison over to the back side of her cabin now. They will take her to the SUV” I heard Christian say. I am OK with his plan. Because as soon as she is free, then I am free to reign hell down on these assholes. Terry and anyone else needing to be dealt with would be getting taken care of by me. Aramis was ready to come forth and kill them all if needed. Timothy will be getting what he deserves as well. The thought of getting to deal with Timothy, if King Sebastian will allow it, will be a sweet ending to my day. King Sebastian had already told us all during the meeting today that both Fallon and her mate that allowed her to escape her punishment had both been taken care of and their sentence carried out by Alpha James. The irony is not lost on me that Alpha James has bent over backward to try to take care of Peyton’s problems, for his own son went behind his back to have her kidnapped. I cannot wait to see Alpha James’ face when he finds out. He is going to be furious, but I want to be the one to dole out Timothy’s sentence, she is my mate, and that is my right. I will only submit to King Sebastian if he insists on handing out the punishment. Then all I will have to do is deal with Alpha Jasper, and we will be done. I think that will hurt Timothy, even more, me besting him one last time. He doesn’t take losing well, as Dawson and I were the only two at Alpha training that he couldn’t beat. He has always utilized underhanded tactics, like throwing sand in your face when he gets up from the ground, to try to beat others. He has difficulty fighting fair, has poor sportsmanship, and has no honor in him.

I will also be requesting to see if King Sebastian can get me into Alpha Jasper’s pack for our little talk. After our ambush, and his having shot Heath at Ever Green, I know he won’t want me, or Heath on his land. But I WILL be getting a meeting with him, and I will be making it clear what the consequences will be if he chooses to try to attempt to get Peyton again. I watch my father and two warriors from B***d Rose standing behind him on the lookout for anyone to come out, while dad works the lock on the door. Dad is very good at this, and I wonder how he learned how to do this, as it was NOT a skill that Dawson and I learned. This can obviously come in handy, and I will have dad do it for me next time I come to visit. The lock gives, and he slides it off, but when he tries to turn the door handle, it doesn’t open. We need to move quickly now. I need to link her. We need to get her out of here right now before they discover that we are here.
