Rejecting, Your Broken Promises
Chapter 86

Timothy’s POV

B***d Claw Pack

I had spoken with dad earlier when he had arrived back at B***d Claw. He was looking for me because I hadn’t called him back yet. I had been busy with Courtney, then I had to make a few calls, and get my ducks in a row for my visit with Peyton tomorrow. I am so looking forward to getting her back into my pack, and I am glad that she will be close to me. I feel my pants get tighter again just thinking about having my way with her. She is so weak, there will be no way for her to stop me from doing what I want to do when I go to visit her. Those are my men there in that camp. They have no idea that she is the Alpha King’s daughter, and even if she told them, they wouldn’t believe her. I covered those bases already when I told them that she was a consummate liar. She will be completely at my mercy, and I won’t be giving her any. She is mine to do with as I will. That thought alone makes me even harder.

I am ready to go to her right now, I have already prepared 20 needles with wolfsbane in them. I don’t want her knocked out, I just needed her too weak to fight. I wanted her awake and able to discern exactly how good I can make her feel. I just don’t want her able to phase into her wolf and try to defend herself. I won’t hurt her, and I don’t want her to hurt me either. I plan on working my magic on her and making her c*m so hard that she falls right back in love with me. I will show her who the better, and bigger, man is when I get my hands on her. That will be the best payback that I can give Percy. His woman falling back in love with me, me taking back my rejection, and then her accepting me as her true mate. After that, I can mark her as mine, and I will have everything that I have ever wanted once I become the Alpha of this pack. Dad said that I could take it over once I found my mate, and I have found her, dad just doesn’t know that I am getting Peyton back yet. She will make me even stronger than I am already and will provide me with strong pups that will go on to run this pack. She was my original true mate, and she will help me to become the strongest alpha that I can be. The anticipation of finally being able to get my hands on Peyton is really making it tough on me. I am glad that I got some relief earlier

Goddess, I have to stop thinking about her. I get hard every single time that I do. She isn’t my mate anymore because my dad was a jerk and made me reject her. I can’t wait to tell him off about that, but I am going to wait until I am the Alpha before I do. I won’t let anything get between me and my goals, I have a set plan and I have it half executed now. I will be stronger after the Alpha ceremony, and I won’t cross him until then. He had not known who Peyton was, just like I didn’t know who she was when she first got here and was called Katrina. I still get mad because mom had been told to keep it quiet. To keep the information about her on a need-to-know basis, but at the very least dad should have known, it was his pack. I blame her aunt, or whoever that woman with her was. She failed at her job of protection, and with Peyton being so precious, they should have sent a couple to guard her, not just a woman. If she had a man with her too, or another woman, my mother may have still been alive as it would have been a fair fight with three against three. Things would have been very different for Peyton and me, and we could have been happy together from the beginning. Instead of her being punished for my mom being killed.

It would have prevented so much pain for Peyton for all those years. Goddess, all these years, were wasted for nothing, all because Alpha Jasper knew she was a healer and wanted her for himself. He knew that they weren’t mates, he is so greedy. I missed out on all these years together with Peyton. I loved her from the moment that I met her, and I wanted her. She was mine, my mate! The way my c**k is straining against my jeans right now is because he wants to go and visit her tonight, but I knew I couldn’t. They will be watching me like a hawk. I already knew that they would be completely focused on me, so I will be going nowhere. I knew that we would be having visitors tonight, or tomorrow at the latest. I assume Percy had gone to Alpha Jasper’s pack to speak to them because Jasper would be the primary suspect. But he would be wrong, she was right here, being held near me. I can’t believe that they have no idea she is here, they are so stupid. I have her, she is mine, and there is nothing that they can do about it. I could run straight through the woods for a few miles to get to her, and they would have no idea that she is even near B***d Claw. She was so close, I could almost smell her delicious scent now. It will be well worth having to go over the fence to get there and back.

I smirk again, I beat Percy, and I couldn’t wait to let the whole world know that. They will once I get her to submit to me, to agree to be mine. I shudder just thinking about it, I wish we didn’t have to deal with this meeting tonight. I feel so much pressure to go to her and make her mine now, tonight, right now. But it is best that I stay here, and everyone knows that I have NOT left the property. Courtney can vouch for me. I will comply with the investigation, and tell them that I don’t have her, and I don’t know where she is. I won’t be giving her back, no one will ever see her again until I have her marked and completely mine. Then, and only then will she be “found.” I will make sure that they all know that it is too late at that point and will take whatever stupid punishment they give me at that time.

When dad told me that we were having a pack meeting tonight I was actually worried at first. That is until dad was telling me about his second chance mate, that helped me relax because I was actually glad for him. He had suffered for years without mom, and apparently, the Goddess was giving him another chance. I know that he wanted the same thing for me, but I still wanted Peyton. I guess the Goddess knew that dad had a change of heart and that he wanted to do what he could for Peyton now. I had met his new mate, Janine, and she was nice, as was her son, Andre. I think that they will both fit in well here. I think that with training Andre could even be my new Gamma if needed. He has a good head on his shoulders and both his parents were skilled warriors. I entered the meeting hall and head up to the stage, the meeting is going to start in about 10 minutes.

“Hey, Timothy” I heard my name be called out gently as I passed Courtney, she was sitting at the end of the row so I would have to pass her. She had been given the escort detail for Heath and the werewolf council members. I nod at them all as a group, but I don’t speak to her. She was waving at me too and then looked really disappointed at me that I didn’t wave back or acknowledge her. She should know better than to be so familiar with me. She is not my mate, and we are not together. She should be smarter than this, she is only embarrassing herself. I guess I will have to find another girl to take her place but I have messed around with a lot of unmated she-wolves in the pack. The selection that I have left in the pack is low, but then I remember that I have Peyton back. I will soon only be sleeping with her. She is my perfect counterpart, and I don’t think that I will need anyone else but her in my life. Just thinking of that time that I saw her, bent over with her a*s in the air gets me uncomfortably hard. I have to wait a little while thinking about unpleasant things until I am able to climb the stairs to the stage and not be embarrassed. There were four chairs up on the stage. My dad left the one to his right for me, so I was basically sitting center stage. He had Janine to his left side and her son Andre next to her closest to the stairs. Maybe dad is about to announce he is stepping down, to allow me to take over the pack tonight too. I perked up at that, everything is starting to go my way now and I have to say that it is about time, soon I will have everything that I ever wanted. I am going to make this pack stronger than it has ever been.

I look out into the audience and when I get to the side that is on my left, I see Heath giving me a hard look like he knows I took Peyton. That makes me worried, but I manage to shrug it off. They can search this whole pack, she is not here, and we can prove it. Plus, I haven’t left the pack for days, and I am a pretty convincing liar. I am NOT going to admit to anything, they can k**s my a*s. It is a waste of time for him and the Council members to even be here, but I will let them turn this pack upside down if I need to. I cannot hold back the smirk on my face as I break my eyes from his and look to my father who got up as soon as the large clock on the back wall hit 7. Dad likes things done in a neat and orderly fashion. He doesn’t like for people to be late for his meetings, but I saw a lot of chairs together towards the back that were still empty before the lights went down at the start of the meeting.

I let my mind wander, this meeting is going to be blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, and I let my mind wander. I wonder what Peyton is doing right now. Is she in the shower? I can feel my smile getting bigger as I think about the bubbles running down her slim body in the shower. How I wish I were in there with her, I can’t tonight, but after I take her to bed for the first time I plan on that being the next thing that I do with her. I want to watch her breasts rise higher as she reaches up to wash her hair. I love her a*s, but even at her skinniest her breasts were still heavy, and I can’t wait to get my hands on them. I kick myself for not having tasted her before I left to travel, but it was for the best. I didn’t want to ruin myself for other women, they say once you have your true mate, no one else is supposed to compare to them. Plus, what if she got pregnant? She would have been killed by Fallon if that had happened, and she would not have allowed Peyton to bear our child. That takes my smile away. How could I have left her here with those 2 monsters? I should have just taken Peyton and ran, I could have finished school and then come back once we had his grandchild. Dad would have calmed down by them, I am sure. I really was a terrible mate to Peyton, and I don’t deserve her, but I still want her, and I WILL have her. I always get what I want, always.

I see dad motion to Janine and Andre, and they come forward. I am glad to hear that people are excited about dad getting a second chance mate. That shows them that the Goddess is favoring dad again, and that is a good sign for the whole pack. She only rewards you if you deserve it, I smile as I then think “or if you take it” as I took my reward back. I knew the Goddess would be angry with me for rejecting her. I pray again that the Goddess allows me to take back my rejection of Peyton, I have been praying to her a lot lately. I also prayed that she allows Peyton to accept me, even after she has been marked and mated by Percy. Just thinking that brings a bad taste to my mouth. That lucky bastard gets everything. Why? Why does he get all the luck? That was the worst luck ever his getting my mate, that was not fair to me at all. I clench my fists in anger. Why Percy? Why did it have to be him? I hated him so much, he is far too cocky and sure of himself. It will kill him to know that I have Peyton. I can’t wait for him to see her bearing MY mark, and pregnant with my pup. Goddess, please help make that happen, I can’t wait to see his face when he finds out that she is mine now.

“Timothy, you know what you have done wrong in this. I begged you not to reject Peyton. She was our true mate, I told you that she was special, and you told me that she couldn’t be because she was a slave. Your father made her a slave, but she was never a slave, or weak. Don’t you know that my senses are better than yours, they always have been. You don’t care about yourself, or me. Your bad choices will be the end of us, but I don’t want to live without my mate anymore anyway. I am excited to be reborn into another wolf, hopefully, one who listens to, and values, my opinions” Malachi told me through our link. I swear he is always complaining about losing her, or when I sleep with another. He really needs to stop, I don’t have time for this right now. Janine and Andre are sitting back down and dad is talking again, and I need to start paying attention now, what if he is announcing me as taking over as Alpha soon?

“What are you going on about? I have Peyton back. We will see her soon. Stop complaining, I have a plan and it is already working. So, stop your whining, yes, I shouldn’t have rejected her, but I am fixing it now. I will get her to fall back in love with me again, and she will be ours again” I linked him back.

“I am glad this is over with, you cannot be reasoned with,” Malachi said and faded away in my head. Good, he is bringing me down, and this has been a pretty good day. I focus on dad talking again and he is just getting done with the reason for his travels and that Fallon’s sentence, as well as her mates, had been carried out. I don’t feel bad for her, she was a horrible person. She was pretty good in bed, but that was because she was trying to make sure she got that Luna position. Dad doted on her, and I bet he is sick about it now. She led him by the nose for years, and I will NEVER allow someone to make me do something that I don’t want to do unless it is Peyton. I will do anything for her, I have so much to make up to her for, and I will spend the rest of my life doing just that. Especially the k********g, I bet she will be so happy to see a familiar face, that she will just jump into my arms thankful that I am here. I bet she is so scared, I feel guilty for a minute, but it had to be done, there was no other way to achieve this.

My dad calls me to him at the podium, and I guess that this is it, he is going to tell the pack that I will be Alpha soon. I hope my ceremony is in about 2 weeks, I will need at least that long to convince Peyton to become my Luna. I plan on doing whatever I need to, to make sure that she can’t live without me. I am sure of my skills in bed, it is probably the only place where I truly excel if I am being honest. I have never had a complaint or a she-wolf, or human, that didn’t finish at least twice while I was with her. Peyton will be no exception in it, I will get her to come around, I am sure that there is a little bit of the bond left between us. I step up next to dad and smile out at our pack. I cannot wait for this announcement, I am sure dad wants time with his new mate, and this is a good time for me. He needs to show the Council that they don’t run everything and that I will be made Alpha regardless of what Peyton said to them.

“Timothy James, you are being accused of abducting Peyton Hunt, daughter of Alpha King Sebastian Hunt, and Luna Queen DeAnna Hunt. You are accused of taking a marked and mated she-wolf, the soon-to-be Luna of Ever Green from her pack against her will. You have also been accused of trespassing in another pack by sending men onto Ever Green packlands with the sole intention of k********g her. You are accused of embezzling funds from the B***d Claw pack to help fund a rogue cell. There are potential additional charges, but there is no need to mention them as taking her from Ever Green, and her mate, is punishable by death. How do you plead?” my father said to me looking at me with disappointment in his eyes.

I was caught by surprise, and I know my expression has gone from my smug smile to shock in an instant. How did they know, how could they have possibly found out? I don’t know what to say, but I didn’t get any heads up, so I am sure my rogues are still fine. Dad may have found my money trail, he is pretty good with that type of thing, and it may have set off an alarm in the banking system, so I will admit to needing funds, and taking them. Since that can be proven, I will take the hit on that, but I will not be admitting to any of the rest of it, it would be a death sentence.

“Not guilty. Just because she was my true mate, and I rejected her, there is no reason to accuse me of taking her. I just heard about it earlier today, I didn’t have anything to do with that. Alpha Jasper probably did it. I hope you sent people there to question him as well. I don’t have her here, and I don’t know where she is. I did take some funds dad, but I will pay the pack back for those. I just needed the money. You were so busy hunting for Fallon and weren’t even here to ask you for some money when I needed it, but I will return it. I am sorry dad” I told him. I stayed calm and rational. If my plan had gone sideways, I would have been told. Even if Jerry didn’t tell me, that a*****e Terry loved to tell if he thought Jerry did anything wrong, so Terry would have let me know if anything important had happened. I controlled my expressions, and I knew I needed to explain why I had looked so shocked, as I know from the murmurs coming from in the crowd that it looked bad for me.

“Seriously, I don’t know where she is dad. I know I looked surprised, but it was because I had no idea why I had been accused of this. Other than she apparently got taken and no one knows where she is. I will even go help look for her, and I will take some of our warriors to try to help find her dad, but I honestly don’t know where she is” I said to my father.

“So, you deny any wrongdoing in this k********g, other than taking funds from the B***d Claw pack, right, Timothy?” My father’s voice rang out strong, and firm, and I knew he will back me, and protect me, in this.

“I swear to the Moon Goddess, Selene, that I was not involved in the disappearance of Peyton Hunt,” I told my dad with an earnest look on my face. I needed him to believe me as I needed my pack to be able to believe me too. I will become the Alpha here soon, and they need to be able to trust me. I will come up with a reason that I “found” her in a couple of weeks, but for right now, I have got to convince him, and our pack, of my innocence. I can feel the weight of the stares from both Heath and the Council members. I can feel them looking at me, studying me, and trying to decide if I am innocent of these charges or not. I have schooled my features from the shock I got earlier. I can hear the murmurs from the crowd getting louder and louder now. I am prepared for any surprise now, so no matter what they come at me with, I am prepared, and calm.

“You are a very accomplished liar, Timothy” I heard a voice coming from the dark meeting hall, and then I see Peyton step forward into the light in front of the stage with Percy’s arm around her waist, and I could feel the b***d drain from my face. This is very bad.
