Once Rejected, Thrice Accepted
Chapter 29

The dungeon was cleaner than the last time I had been down there. No one was in the cells minus the few people they had caught from the attack and Alpha Alex. I was putting that issue off for the moment, so I focused on the other prisoners. Looks like they had captured about eight from the attack, an even mix of male to female of my old pack. I knew who they were remembering each of their faces within my old pack. They were the lowest of the lows and were even treated like shit in the pack but that didn't stop them from making sure they treated me even worse than they were treated. I guess it might have made them feel better about themselves and their situation, but I tried to reason with them throughout all the years I was there that we should have stuck together. If we had just stuck together then things probably would have been better on all of us and having friends meant more people to lift you up. So now that they were here captured and seeing me they thought reasoning with me what helped him out. They were wrong.

"Please, Gemma, we were in the same pack. You know that we would never do this if we didn't have to one." One of the males pleaded.

"Yeah you know that what it was like to survive there this was just part of that." One of the females a few cells down wailed. "They made us. They would have killed us if we didn't."

"Gemma, we helped you out several times! Help us out of this." One of the guys that we were just passing yelled. Probably hoping that one might have gotten to me but not in the way that they had hoped.

It was two guys huddling all the way in the back of the cell like cowards. They were smaller in size and were covered in scars. I knew who they were. They were the meanest of the bunch. Both were narcissists, always thinking they were the victims and they weren't ever wrong but they were about to learn.

"Helped me out several times? Please explain." I looked at the one on the left. "Was it the time that you stole food from the kitchen and when you were caught told the warrior that I had you do it for me. You thought I needed that beating and one night in the dungeon." I looked over at the other one with a glare. "Or was it the night that I helped your daughter get away from a man who was going to rape her but later you denied it and had your daughter deny it so then I was beaten and tied to a pole for 3 days for hurting one of our visitors for no reason. You both think you were helping me? Well then, I'm definitely helping you now because when they are through with you, you'll be going to the goddess and dealing with her judgment." I turned and walked away from the cell ignoring their pleas and apologies.

"Awe, somebody got a backbone." Alpha Alex yelled from his cell with a laugh. "I bet I could reteach you your manners, Cherry."

I shivered stopping in my tracks. Duncan put his hand under my shirt on my back and pushed me forward. I did my best to just focus on the heat of his hand and not the voices shouting from each cell.

"Lets go down to the farthest one. It was one of the leaders of the attack." Leo rubbed my shoulder. "The others can be dealt with by other guards."

I shook my head. "No, I want to handle....handle Alex"

"Whatever you want, lovebug. We have your back." Lucas replied stopping in front of Alex's cell. We almost ran into his back. "Let's show this douchebag why he will always lose."

Erin waited with me as the guys unlocked the cell and went to double check the chains holding him in place. Charles stood back and just watched. I wasn't sure why he was there but I was still upset with him, so I wasn't about to ask. Draco was standing down at the end of the door.

'I can be up there by you if needed. Draco linked me with a small smile. 'My wolf wants his head, bloody and ripped off. I don't know if I can control him if he makes you cry again!

I shook my head. 'It's ok. I know you have my back. Love you.'

I faced back to the cell and walked in after getting the ok. Duncan brought me a chair but made sure to sit the farthest he could away which I wasn't going to argue with.

"So... my little cherry ended up with one of my sons." Alpha Alex smirked. "Did you treat him right? Did you show him that you knew how a man should be treated?"

I kept my eye contact even though my whole body was telling me to either punch his nasty face in or run and hide until they got rid of him. I couldn't show my fear. That is how he got me alone a few more times than I told the guys, but I just couldn't share anymore. Duncan punched him in the face. "Don't ever speak to or about her that way again. I will peel the flesh from your bones as you watch if you do."

Alex laughed and spit blood onto the floor. "So she must be your bitch, huh? She is much better than the girl you were with when you turned eighteen. She was unteachable and used too much teeth for my liking."

Duncan pulled his arm back to hit him again, but Leo caught. "Don't let him get under your skin. He is spewing shit."

"Exactly. He may have fucked a few of our girls but he has never and will never fuck our girl." Lucas growled. "He even thinks of her in a dirty way and ill turn him into a eunuch."

"Our girl?" Alex looked between the three of us with shock. "She is with...all of you? How pathetic." His smile returned. "Sharing a mate is one of the worst things that could have happened. One of you will keep her and the other two will get a mistress to breed. My sons won't be pathetic."

"You are not the Alpha here." Duncan growled, "And you no longer have a say in our lives. One of the many reasons we kicked half your guards' asses before leaving. Thought you would have gotten the message then. Guess not."

I giggled. "I never should have feared you. You are delusional and weak." I looked at my mates with a smile. "Thank you, my strong Alpha males for showing me what a real man is."

Alex growled pulling at his chains. "They wouldn't be shit without me. They are my legacy. I raised them to be who they are or who they should be. I trained your pretty little mouth." He bit his lip. "Took a few times for you to learn how to do it just right. Take me just right li-"

I lashed out punching him on the same spot Duncan did busting his lip back open. "Unless we ask you a question shut your fucking hole. You have no rights here, no say in anything. You are nothing. Got it?"

"Awe, kitty got her claws?" Alex laughed spitting blood down at my feet. "My boys-"

I punched again but this time I broke his nose. "They are my men! You are nothing to them anymore. Don't talk to them, don't look at them, don't even think about them."

'I am so giving you enough orgasms that you black out tonight! Duncan linked. 'We are yours and no one else's. My wolf can't stop purring!

I shook my head at him before focusing back on Alex. "You took so much from me. Any feeling of safety I had left within those walls of the pack house. My hope that someone who visited would save me. And my innocence in which I hadn't even seen a man p***s before. It should never have been you."

"Good thing I di-"

Leo punched him in the gut cutting him off. "What did she say?"

Alex took a breath as he glared at us. "Did since she has to please all three of you! Did I do good?" He rattled off before smirking.

Moonlight snarled pushing forward so just my eyes glowed and my fingers shifted into her claws. "Shut your dirty old mouth. The only reason you are alive is standing outside this room with his laws and shit but one more remark and I wont care if he has to take you back in pieces."

I swung my hand out clawing down his face. He screamed out in pain as the blood ran down his face. Charles rushed in to check him over.

"I said nothing visible." He huffed using his sleeve to wipe the blood off.

"Whoopsie." I shrugged my shoulders and pushed Moonlight back. "At least I'm not going through with screwing the guys in front of him while you had to listen. I even thought about making him watch while they took care of me over and over to show him how a real man pleases his woman but ill save that few hours for tonight when we get home."

'Thanks sis. I did not want to hear any of that.' Draco linked happily.

"Anything else you want to ask him before we can move on with getting him to the palace dungeons?" Charles was biting at the bit.

"Just a few more."
