The Failed Rejection
Chapter 63

Braxton pov

“Wake up!” A voice yelled at him while splashing him with water. Braxton looked around in confusion. How did he get here? The last thing he remembered was the dealer telling him the new rogue king was the alpha. Brax g*****d in confusion trying to clear his foggy brain. His eyes drifted shut despite him trying to keep them open.

“Wake up!” The voice screamed at him again followed with a punch to his midsection. Braxton g*****d and his head rolled around uselessly. He belatedly realized he was being held up by silver chains. He still wasn’t aware of where he was or where Denali and Alana were.

“It’s time to meet the new king,” the voice told him and he heard footsteps walking away.

“W-w-what’s going on?” He asked still not able to open his eyes and it felt like he had a mouth full of cotton. He felt some one give him a small slap to the face, which caused some of the fog to clear.

“Silver!” His bear told him faintly and then Braxton had a flash of being shot multiple times with silver. The fog started to clear as more water came splashing on his face. He had been initially shot with several silver bullets, then after taking out around thirty rogues while being shot with silver bullets Braxton took roughly twelve silver injections. Once again Braxton had no idea how he was alive with what had happened to him. He briefly wondered if his family was okay before his mind went fuzzy again.

“Wake up!!” A new voice called and then he finally managed to feel a strong presence coming toward him.

“Pathetic,” he heard which caused his bear to growl. The voice of the alpha laughed,

“I guess not so pathetic after all if your bear is still alive.” Braxton was finally able to open his eyes as the alpha came into his cell. Braxton belatedly realized that the hybrid had finally let his true alpha aura out for the first time. The only thing is that Killian’s aura had him beat by a mile, he was on par with his own aura. Brax was kind of disappointed as hybrid’s were supposed to be super strong. Brax tried to open his eyes, and they opened but nothing came into focus.

“I’d really hoped to kill that bear of yours and your brothers for having the audacity of coming to my own packhouse and asking for my help to hunt me down!” This self proclaimed rogue king laughed like a maniac. Braxton’s cell managed to come into focus and it was a pretty standard shitty cell thay all packhouses have.

“You know I still can’t understand how you are alive after the last incident, my men said they beat you within an inch of your life and left you for dead.” Braxton was enraged to hear that this a*****e was indeed the one responsible for his near death experience. His bear was as well and was finally starting to wake up.

“Sir,” footsteps sounded. “We got his b***d work back.” Braxton was unable to see who was talking as the person was outside the cell.

“Well what is is?” The alpha asked in agitation.

“Him and his brother are both alpha white bears,” the voice responded timidly.

“No that’s impossible! They are extinct!” The rogue king was furious and Braxton laughed,

“I thought foxes were extinct, but as it turns out you have several working for you. You can’t believe everything you read,” Braxton’s tone screamed arrogance and he got a slap in the face for it.

“Shut up! Dewey, get his b***d I need it.” Dewey finally walked into the cell with several items in his hand, the most concerning was his vial. Dewey slowly approached him and as the needle came close to his skin Braxton’s bear emerged. Braxton was one of the few people who could partially shift and only allowed his head to shift into his bears muzzle. His bear then quickly went for this Dewey’s jugular, rupturing it before anyone could react.

The omega wolf that was clearly important to this sick man’s science experiments was now fell down dead and he started to pass out from the partial shift.

“I will still get your b***d, even if he is dead!” The alpha screamed as he lost consciousness.

Penelope pov

Up and down

Up and down

Her leg would not stop bouncing up and down as the SUV drove down the interstate drove at a snails pace. Dash was driving seventy-five, but it still felt like the SUV was not moving. She tried calling Braxton a million times and then suddenly she got the animated voice, ‘your call can not be completed as dialed.’ That is when she truly started internally freaking out. Dash put his hand on her leg to get her to stop bouncing it. She looked at him sheepishly and he gave her a smile.

“You are not the only one who is worried Penne.”

Penelope couldn’t shake the feeling that Brax was in pain. She didn’t know if that or the motion of the car was making her feel sick. Luckily Penelope didn’t vomit, her stomach was just in knots. She knew that KoKo and Brad’s bear communicated, but it wasnt the same as when she was mated to Noah. The two wolfs talked to each other, while Koko stated communication from Brad’s bear was just like feelings of love and adoration.

“Can you feel him Koko?” She asked her wolf.

“No, it’s like our mate doesn’t exist anymore,” Koko whimpered. Penelope couldn’t help but tear up a little

“I know, I’m just worried, I can’t feel him through our mate bond,” Penelope finally responded to Dash’s comment.

“I can’t feel him or Denali either,” Dash stated clearly worried as he followed Heath taking an Exit toward Toledo. Dash was following Heath’s SUV as they had met them at a gas station fifty or so miles back. Penelope was relieved to see so many werebears helping out rescue her mate. She understood when Killian told her that he could only spare a few warriors to go help Braxton. Her mate had put himself on this revenge mission and it always ended badly.

The pack was also in a state of chaos and dealing with their own problems like the werewolf council.

“My parents are freaking out, sending some warriors on the next flight out,” Dash commented.

“Would they even get here on time?” She asked trying to stay distracted.

“Who knows, it’s a six hour drive to this pack and I called my parents as soon as I found out,” Dash stated while keeping his eyes on the road.

“If this hybrid is as powerful as Killian thinks he is then we can use all the help we can get,” Penelope told him and Dash nodded. This hybrid would be Lili’s half brother, meaning he had alpha b***d in him. It’s unclear whether his bear side is alpha as well. If he does then he is super powerful as there is the possibility of changing into both animals. That is just a legend as it has never been proven, but Penelope had never seen a human turned into a werewolf before either.

It is unclear whether it will be in Hudson’s future as well. Lili is only Gamma b***d, but she was chosen by the moon Goddess.

The car in front of them took an exit and Penelope asked,

“Are we almost there?” Dash shrugged,

“I’m not sure, call Heath.” Dash handed Penelope his phone and she quickly found Heath as a contact then hit dial and put him on speaker phone when he picked up.

“Hey, we are getting close to the territory so we are going to replace a place to set up a base of operations and then we will scout out the area.”

“All right, sounds good,” Penelope stated and then hung up.

“It looks like we are headed to Genova, will you quickly update Cam so he can get ahold of my parents?” Dash asked and Penelope quickly did as he asked.

…

It was several hours later when Penelope was sitting on the motel bed waiting for scouts to come back when she fell to the ground due to blind pain in her back. She knew Dash ran to help her, but she couldn’t help but cry out.

“Penelope what is it?”

“Mate! Mate hurt!” Koko was crying out as the pain in her back was increasing exponentially.

“He’s being whipped!” Penelope gritted out and then she thankfully passed out in blessed relief.

…

Brad pov

He was gearing up next to the SUV, Brad felt bad about not leaving with his sister. He had to do this, has wanted to do this for a very long time. Brad remembered the worst day of his entire life and it was due to the werewolf council.

Brad had been sent to investigate an alpha challenge in a remote area of Alaska. When he got there it was clear that the new alpha had cheated by having the mate of the current alpha killed during the ceremony. Thus weakening the alpha and he was easily defeated and killed. The werewolf council ignored his report and allowed the new alpha to keep his seat. What enraged him even further was how the alpha’s children were treated afterwards. The original alpha had three daughters and one son. Alpha Thorn killed the son and r***d the daughters every night. Brad had no proof of that, only suspicions of what was being done to those girls. Brad went to the council and his report was ignored, the challenge was ruled to be justified. Brad was furious, but he was not allowed to go back to Alaska. Brad managed to get help from Elder Brooks, but it took months before those girls were able to get out of that horrible place.

That was only one of the horrible things he saw as an elite warrior and made him think what happened to all of the reports he put together before that. What happened to all of the people he left who were still in the need of help. That was only four years ago and he soon after was put in charge of his own unit.

Brad then only accepted jobs such as training other packs, or helping out with rogue situations. He still saw atrocities that the council ignored, but he still was able to sleep at night. Well not really, one doesn’t really sleep working for the council.

Brad had to take the council down, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to live with himself.
