The Failed Rejection
Chapter 54

Penelope pov

Hearing from her mate that he prioritized the rogues that killed his first mate and cub didn’t surprised her. LB needed this closure and Penelope supported him so that he could truly move on. Penelope just wished she could help him in this endeavor as this semester was so much harder than her last semester.

Penelope woke to her mate completely surrounding her and his e******n digging into her a*s. She couldn’t tell the time, but her guess was it was the pre-dawn hours. The only thing that mattered was Koko was purring in her head, begging for her mate.

“Want mate.” Braxton was grinding himself into her and she started moaning for him. Penelope belatedly realized that her panties were gone. Those thoughts soon went out of the window when LB lifted her leg and slowly started to entered her.

“I missed you every second I was away from you,” Braxton whispered into her ear as he bottomed out. Penelope panted as she got used to him being inside of her again. She turned around to kisss him and when she pulled back she smiled.

“Goddess I love you my bear.” Then he started slowly started pumping his h**s in and out of her. “More!” She cried out. Braxton was still completely cocooning her upper body and gave her a light bite on her mating mark. That action caused arousal to flood her channel and her to m**n in happiness.

“Shh, your apartment has thin walls.”

“Then give me what I want,” she demanded harshly knowing her alpha wouldn’t like to be challenged. Braxton shifted her to her stomach without leaving her and started to pound into like there was no tomorrow.

“Is this what you want?” He asked with a small slap on her a*s.

“Yes,” Penelope cried out but tried to be quiet. She knew she wasn’t as the bed was rocking and the sound of slapping flesh as well as their combined m***s filled the air.

“Penelope,” Braxton g*****d in her ear and she felt her o****m start to peak.

“Oh yes! I’m right-“ Penelope said as he reached up and bit her mark. Penelope immediately detonated sending her into an o****m like she hadn’t felt since her amazing mate had taken her last time. Penelope distantly heard Brax grunt out that he was finishing. Thankfully he pulled out and finished outside of her. Penelope hated loosing that connection to her mate and even her wolf whined at the loss. She just didn’t want pups just yet. Brax also hadn’t fully gotten over the loss of his first cub.

Brax had cleaned her off with his shirt and pulled her back into his embrace.

“I love you,” he whispered into her ear. Penelope smiled as she started to drift back into sleep.

When she got up that morning she found out that the rest of the house was up already which was odd as she was normally the first one up. She left the bedroom to replace an active living room.

“Hey what’s going on?” Penelope asked her mate.

“I think we found them.”

Brad pov

The plane landed and several people got out their phones, himself included. Brad texted his mate to see how she was.

“All right Seth said everything seems to be the same, let’s move to the location.” Killian said with his eyes still on the phone in front of him. The same as most of the men.

“Do we have vehicles?” Brad asked the room in general.

“s**t!” Holden said and ran in the direction of the airport. Some of his men laughed and Brad was pissed.

“You laugh again and I will have you on kitchen duty for a month.” The kid shut his mouth and they stood waiting while Brad checked in with his phone. Brad once again regretted taking newly recruited men along. They didn’t know their elbow from their a*****e and who knew what was going to happen when the s**t hit the fan. The reality though was Brad didn’t have a choice.

“Where are the rest?” He asked Killian as he realized that

“Still about two hours behind. Taking the plane saved us about four hours,” Killian replied as he was still on his phone. Brad watched as the warriors just sat around idle and it just got on his nerves.

“Everyone have there gear?” Brad asked and there was a group “yes sir.”

“Gather it all up to transfer it up!” Brad hollered and everyone jumped to not just his men.

The group of around fifteen warriors manage to load up into the SUV’s and start the drive into this Arkansas pack territory. Brad keeps his eyes alert as the scenery passing by. He starts to realize that in the entire time he has been at the council there hasn’t been any council responses to this pack or the surrounding area. That in of itself isn’t odd, but as the more Brad thinks about it this is his first time in Arkansas. He has literally been to every state on council business, even Alaska and Hawaii. Brad never realized it before know until he was driving through the countryside. He got a ping on his phone and looked at it.

A.K. Seth is detecting movement

s**t that isn’t good for a big medical compound like Killian described to him on the plane ride over.

Me: how much longer?

A.K. I had Seth pull back out of the territory so as not to be detected. We are rendezvousing about 10 min of site.

Me: smart.

It was smart, Killian was a good alpha. They continued to drive for another twenty minutes before turning off the highway. Then after a series of turns they met another black SUV at some old run down grain bins.

Seth got out and approached the first SUV which was Killian’s. Brad’s came to a stop and he got out, the other men tried to get out.

“Stay in the vehicle.” Brad walked over to the group of men. Killian, Axel, Seth, and Holden seemed to wait for him to get to the group of men.

“Everything was quite until about forty minutes ago when the alpha in the beta’s vehicle was dropped off. The man was in the compound for about five minutes then left.” Seth paused, “I can’t explain it but it seemed like things changed…just a feeling.” Seth seemed to be struggling and Brad took over.

“You don’t have to explain, your wolf could have sensed so many things from that place. We are here to save these people.” Killian looked at him.

“I’m assuming you have a plan?” Brad shrugged his shoulders.

“Honestly, no not really.” Everyone looked shocked. “I got papers from an elder that I’m normal situations would get me into anywhere. This isn’t a normal situation, so honestly it all depends on whose working the compound. They are either like the guys I’m with, clueless or like the guy I worked with for years and I’m on it.”

“f**k! Either way it’s not good is it?” Axel asked and Brad shook his head negative.

“When will the back up be here?” Brad asked.

“About an hour.”

“We can’t wait that long, Seth did you get a lay of the territory?” Brad asked and he nodded. Seth went back to his car and quickly came back with something in his hand. Brad realized it was a map and Seth opened it across the hood of the closest SUV. There were several marks on the maps and Seth pointed to one of the maps.

“This is where the compound is located at, from what I can tell it’s the southwest corner of the pack’s territory. It’s not that far from the highway and I managed to replace a good surveillance point here.” Brad nodded, as he quickly assessed the map.

“That’s where I want you to stay, Killian, Axel and Holden I want you to be spread out in the dense forest waiting for my signal.”

“How can he?” Holden started to ask, but Killian cut him off.

“The map told him.” Holden blushed and Brad ignored him. Brad wasn’t sure what was going on with him, but Holden was off his game.

“What’s the signal?” Axel asked. He was the only one currently here without the pack link.

“Well if I don’t make it through the gate it will be gunfire,” Brad said tensely knowing how serious the situation was. The group of men looked serious.

“If you do make it through?” Killian asked him.

“Listen for me in the pack link.” They all nodded.

“Okay let’s head out, if Seth is right then the subjects don’t have much longer. I’ll drive around while you get settled in.” Brad took the map and went back to his SUV and got in.

“Head back to the highway.” Brad looked closely at the map as the driver took off.

“Where do you want me to go?” The driver asked.

“We are waiting for the others to get into position.” Brad looked at the map and the pack lands were large, at least triple of the Howlers. The situation seemed off and Brad quickly mindlinked Killian.

‘Did this pack merge with a different pack?’

‘Not that I can recall, why?’ Killian responded.

‘Looking at the map it’s so much larger than any pack I’ve seen.’

‘I’ll see what my dad knows. We are almost into position.”

‘Okay we will approach from the south border.”

“Turn here,” Brad told his driver indicating to a dirt road. The driver took the road and Brad faced the men.

“Okay men follow my lead and only fire if I fire first understand?” Brad asked as the SUV full of new recruits.

“Yes sir!” They continued down the road until they were stopped by boarder patrol and a heavy gate.

“What’s your business?”

“Werewolf council, we have business at your compound.”

“ID,” the wolf demanded and Brad could tell he was of the pack. Brad pulled out his council ID and showed it to the man.

“The driver.” His man quickly complied and they were waved on.

“We passed the first hurdle, time for the real one,” Brad link Killian.

“Good, we are in position and back up has arrived. We have a green light.”

Brad put on his leather gloves and let out a sigh as the giant compound came into view. What the hell has the werewolf council come to? It’s time to watch it all burn.
