Rejected, Broken And Forgotten
Chapter 58

Walker’s POV

We walk back into Herman’s cabin, and he is sitting at his table, busy working. We know now he can control the dogmen, but that is not what we want. We want him to deactivate the chips in their heads as we do not want any trouble with the dogmen and a human being able to control them. If he can not help us, we will kill him before putting him in charge of the dogmen and giving him powers. We can not let a human have control over the dogmen. A human that we do not even know if we can trust. He looks up, and he can see we are angry with him.

“You can be as rude as you want to, but what you did put our pack in danger, and we had to kill those humans. Now we will have to move their bodies off our ground in order to protect our pack, and that was a stupid move on your side to let the dogmen attack the soldier,” Paris says.

“I was not thinking straight, and I apologize. I know it was a stupid move, but you do not know what those fuckers in uniform did to me and to my wolf friends I made in the lab where I was working. You may understand why I wanted to kill them and the general if I tell you. Is he still alive?” Herman asks. We have mind linked our pack to help us clean up and pretend nothing happened here on our grounds. We will move the whole camp into the national park where they were heading and make sure it looks like the attack took place there. Like in England, we must get the human army as far away from our ground as possible and let them think the attack happened elsewhere.

“Then tell us your story, but wait so I can tell my men what to do,” I say as I walk out and tell my men what to do with the soldiers. The dogmen are all still standing there, and I give our doctors instructions to take them to the pack and lock them up until we can figure out what to do with them. Mariam helps clean up all the b***d and the fighting marks on the ground and trees around us. The shamans are helping her, and the rest of our men start transporting the dead soldiers to the park where the soldiers are supposed to go. The general told us everything, and he is still begging us to kill him, but we take him inside Herman’s cabin. The mark on his shoulder looks terrible, but we know it will heal once he is a wolf, so we let him suffer, as that is all we can do for him now. We will not kill him as he is obviously responsible for many experiments done on wolves, and we want to replace out what role he had to play in it. We bring him into Herman’s cabin.

“Herman, please, I know you can help me. You have been working with these creatures for years. I do not want to turn into one of them,” The general starts begging Herman.

“Wayne, how good to see you again. Were you not the one that killed the wolves I was working with? Didn’t you tell me that my wolf friends were nothing but creatures and that they had no feelings?” Herman asks the general.

“I am sorry, but please help me,” Wayne says.

“Nope, you will become one of them, and you will feel what they felt,” Herman says. We take the general out of the room to lock him up somewhere because when he turns the first time, we will have to help him. We send our men away with the general and stay with Herman. We want to hear his story.

“Can you tell your story for us?” I ask.

Herman’s story

“I was a young man and had just finished university. I was when they offered me a job. It was in the Nevada desert, and I had just lost my fiance in a car accident, so I had nothing to live for anymore. I decided to take the job as my parents did not care about me> My big brother was everything in their eyes as he had a wife and children. I know they would not miss me if I disappeared. I disappeared off the face of the earth, and I looked at the internet and the newspaper we got for any clues that my family was looking for me, but I found nothing. I pulled up all the police reports in the area where I stayed, and my parents stayed but nothing. I felt they did not care about me, and my brother and his family were also not looking for me. I disappeared in a National Park as many of the victims of the so-called four-one-one victims do, but my name was never mentioned anywhere. That is how I knew my family did not care about me. I felt rejected and alone. I thought that the only person that ever cared about me was my fiance, and she was dead. She was in a car accent that I found out years later the military planned. I also discovered that my family was looking for me, but the government did not want me to know. To protect my family, I never searched for them after I left the military.

Anyway, I was in charge of the “wolf” project. They captured a rogue and brought it to me in my lab. I tried at first to make friends with it, but it had no human side anymore as it was just a wolf. It growled at me and told me to release it so it could go back to killing, as it was his life’s mission to kill. He growled and said he had nothing to live for but to kill. I could not understand it as I have lost everything in my life, my fiance and my family. I thought he was weak and told him so. I told him I had lost everything in my life, my fiance had died, my family did not care that I was missing and that, like him, I had nothing to live for, but I kept going. He growled at me that with wolves, it is different because I had a choice. They don’t because they have no human side left when they lose everything that matters to them. I was surprised at first and asked him if I could give him back his human side if he would change back to what he was before he became a beast. He answered me and asked me if I could give him back the meaning of his life. His mate, his family, and most of his Goddess that does not seem to care about him anymore. I did not understand what he meant. I am human. I can not feel what you wolves feel. I did not understand the concept of having a human and a wolf side. I was confused, to say the least. It was my first encounter with a werewolf, and I found not understand that a werewolf had a human and wolf side. I asked him how you worked, but he went back into full wolf mode and did not answer me. The next day the men in uniform came to take him away. I would never see him again as he scratched one of the men.

The guy turned on the next full moon, and he was my next project. I begged the base commander to let me have the werewolf back, but he refused, as they were using him to turn more and more of our soldiers into werewolves. I was young and stupid as were the commanders at our base. They commanded me to experiment with the species I had. I remembered that the werewolf was talking about a human and wolf side and kept asking the turned soldiers about it, but they were as new as I was to this experiment. I knew I had to get a real werewolf to tell me all about it, and eventually, we got one. I asked her about the human and wolf sides of werewolves. At first, she would not talk to me as she was not a rogue. She was a pack wolf. Her name was Paula. I will never forget her name as she was beautiful, and I felt connected as I had never felt with any other woman before. I was in love with this creature I knew nothing of. I could tell she felt the same as she called me her mate. We stayed together for two weeks, and the more I saw of her, the more I loved her. I thought it was my second chance to live at happiness. I tried to sneak her out of the lab to a safe place, but the uniforms were watching me, and they caught us and accused me of wanting to take the specimen out of the lab. I begged and pleaded, but no one wanted to listen to me that she was just a human with a wolf side that she only uses to protect humans. She was the one that told me all about werewolves and their goal in life. She was the one that told me about the Moon Goddess and how she is helping werewolves. I was shattered when they took her away for me. I know she is still alive. I tried to replace her, and I think she escaped lately because the bloody uniforms were watching my cabin twenty-four-seven. I guess I will never know now as you intervened, and she will not come near me when she thinks her kind and my kind are watching us.

But anyway, after I met Paula, I thought the army had killed her. Now I know she is still alive and somewhere in New York, and they are using me to get me back to work for them. I can not, as I know I will not do her any favors. I will call her killed as they only want me, as I know more about werewolves than any human does. I love Paula, and I need you to help me. Can you or not?

I can not leave her there, and you will have to help me get her out of there, as I know I can not live without her. Anyway, that is not the only reason I need your help. I made friends with many werewolves, but I could not save all of them. Many of them are in New York, where the human headquarters are, and they will want us there, especially you. I can not let you go there, but I want you to help me to get Paula out of there. I know I am asking you much, but please help me. All I want you to do is get Paula out of there. I will do anything to get her out of there.

I hated those humans for years, and I thought there was nobody that could help me with my problem until I realized that the native Americans knew about wolves. Because most of you are living so close to your Goddess that you do not recognize that the mate bond is sacred, I love werewolves but let me tell you a secret I was scared as hell. I knew nothing about you. I was introduced to werewolves. I did not have a Paula, so I abandoned her as I did not know what she was. After a few years of experimenting, I realized that most of the wolves were like Paula, who knew nothing of the humans or were like those protecting us. Then I met those like Wayne that just wanted to kill wolves because they could. They killed my best friends, that were wolves.
