Life and Love Lessons Chapter 18

 Hi all,

Just a small note before you read away. Since I'm still playing catch up from being sick and my dad is still in the hospital I'm only able to do one chapter this week. I hope to be able to do two again next week. I do apologize.

Chapter 18

Rex had not even got in the living room before his biological father had sprung to his feet and demanded to know what had happened to him. Mr. Chamberland did not miss a beat. He quickly told him that he’d been having a hard time adjusting to living among the pack and gotten into several fights over the last couple of weeks. The bruises were the results of him going up against people stronger than him. Rex could tell by the lifted eyebrow that came him way that his newfound father, Aspen, did not buy the story.

“How about,” Aspen came to stand in front of Rex, “we go out for a nice supper?”

Rex knew he should ask Mr. Chamberland permission, but he wasn’t about to do so. “That sounds nice.”

“I think not.” Mr. Chamberland’s sharp tone spoke volumes, but Rex shoved the unspoken threat aside and let Aspen handle Mr. Chamberland.

“I think so.” Aspen took hold of Rex’s arm and spun him towards the living room door and down the hallway.

Rex’s other arm was grabbed from behind and he was jerked to a stop. Aspen had not other option but to stop, but when he spun around his finger were lifted and pointed at Mr. Chamberland. Mr. Chamberland stumbled back, dropping my arm and pressing his hand to his chest, growling.

“What did you do?”

“Do not dare manhandle my son again.” Aspen opened the door and motioned Rex to go through.

“Do not leave this house.”

There was all the force of an alpha order behind the spoken words, but like always his command flew right over Rex and his wolf. His wolf snarled at the attempt to control him, but did not react outwardly.

“You know what will happen if you leave this house.”

“What does that mean?” Aspen looked at Mr. Chamberland, but Rex knew the questions was directed at him.

Not that he could answer him. Mr. Chamberland would tear into him for double, or triple the amount of time that he would for leaving the house if he did. Not that it would matter to Rex if he spent another week in the dungeon or cage, but he knew that Mr. Chamberland was not threatening him with that. Nope. He was threatening to forgo letting the latest couple leave for a new pack. That Rex could not let happen. Left him with one option. Not the one he wanted to do, but the only one for him to do.

“Aspen,” Rex faced him, hoping he gave him the best smile he could, “I’m afraid that we will have to visit here.”

“Do you not want to go out to supper?”

“I would rather stay here.”

“That did not answer my question.”

“It is the best answer I can give you.”

Rex knew Aspen did not like the response he gave, but it was the best he would get. Rex could not openly admit to what he was doing. Mr. Chamberland knew it, but he did not want the pack members who had not caught onto the little ploy that the bottom of the pack was playing with him to catch on. And there were quite a few who had not figured out what Rex was up to. Some would cheer him on. Other would condemn his actions. Some might even attack him. That Rex did not need.

“Fine.” Aspen made his way back to the living room. “Tonight we will visit here, but I will not stand for our time being censored.” The comment was not direct at him, and Rex knew that Mr. Chamberland understood what Aspen meant.

Apologies and Update

 Hi,

Wanted to send my apologizes for not having putting up any chapters last week or this coming week. I've sick and so is my entire family. It's been a challenging time for me. I hope to be back to having time to write the week after. If that changes I will make another announcement.

In the meantime, I hope you are finding stories that are allowing your imagination to soar. 

Have a great day and remember to stay safe and wear those mask to protect yourself and others. Wash those hands often and stay six feet apart.

Chapter 17 part 2

“Four days.”

Felt like longer.

“Who is he talking about?”

“Alex and Zac are the two young boys who are fated together. You spoke with them right before you choosing ceremony.” Larry motioned to one of the other men. “Get the chair over here.” He then unsnapped my ankle cuffs. “You were in the process of helping them relocate packs.”

Right. Rex had given them the direction to follow to reach out to the Pack Master. “Did they not get in touch with the Pack Master?”

“Yes, but it is taking him a bit of time to locate another pack.”

Damn it. Had not foreseen that. “How did they get caught?”

“Snuck out to each meet each other and David Smith caught them behind the shack fucking.”

David Smith. Man was tenacious when he came in to throw some punches and use the piece that had hooks on the ends of the leather strings. Wasn’t sure what it was called, but it sure ripped  flesh off of my body.

“Come lower him into the chair when I release his cuffs.” Larry sighed. “This is going to hurt, but we have to get you down.”

“Just do it.”

Rex ground his teeth as the two guys gripped his arms and lowered him into the chair. The cook metal soothed his sore ass, but hurt his back when he braced himself.

“Time we get you to your room. A shower will help, but you need to shift first.”

“He needs a doctor.” One of the other men said.

“I know that, but you know Alpha will not allow that.”

“He will not be able to heal all these wounds with a shift.” The other  guy said.

Rex sighed and braced his hands on the edge of the chair, pushing himself up, holding back the grunt.

“What are . . .”

“Let’s go.” Rex’s knees wobbled, but he forced them to hold himself up. “Have a feeling time is short.” Mr. Chamberland would not give him much time to cover up his bruises and wounds. He’d want him to fail so he could resume his beatings.

“How do you do it?” The first guy who spoke asked.

“Just who I am.” Rex forced himself to make one step after another and held his head high as he walked towards his bedroom, ignoring the stares and gasp.

“You two can go.” Larry said once Rex entered his room. He shut the door behind him and wrapped his arms around him. “Let me help you over to the bed.”

“I’ve got it.” Instead of the bed, Rex made his way to the center of the room and shifted, standing still for a few minutes then resumed his human shape.

“You never cease to amaze me.” Larry shook his head. “Most of the wounds are healed, but your body is black and blue. Purple and yellow in some places. You’ll sill covered in blood.”

“Nothing a shower won’t fix.”

Rex took one step, then another before the over weighted sensation consumed his top half and he began to topple over. Rex slammed into a broad hard chest as the room spun. Next thing Rex knew his feet was being dragged across the dull beige carpet. That quickly turned into scuffed up linelium and then a yellow titled shower.

“Lean against the shower wall, while I strip.”

No way was he getting in the shower with him. Not wise. Not that Rex could do anything at the time, but he did not need Larry knowing just how much his body still craved the man he gave up. Not when the man still had feeling for him. There were other mates out there for them and when they found them they needed to be able to tell them that there had been no contact between the one they gave up. Especially, after they broke the mate bond.

Rex cut the water on and forced his legs to hold him up. The fuzziness faded as the warm water cascaded over him and he was able to reach out and shut the glass shower door.

“Rex, that is not safe.”

“It is. Just lay me some clothes in here and get me some food if possible.” That would help more than anything. Sure would speed up the heeling.

He quickly scrubbed the dried blood from his body, taking in each bruise. Might as well have said he took in his entire body. There was barely an empty spot on his stomach and legs that did not bare darkening skin. He was sure his back looked worse. He’d have to wear long sleeve shirt to hide his arms. Turltle neck would have been nice, but he did not have any of those with him. He wasn’t sure if his face was marred, but he did not recall them hitting his face. That would be one thing in his favor.

He climbed out of the shower and dried off. Slipping into the soft jeans and long sleeve shirt Larry had laid out for him. He stared into the mirror pleased there was no bruises on his face, but the ones where they’d choked him shone bright yellow. No hiding them. Even if he could have gotten into his mother’s makeup they would be visible. Looked like he’d fail Mr. Chamberland’s order. Damn it. He did not want Alex and his mate to pay the price. He’d have to make some kind of deal with Mr. Chamberland. That’s what Mr. Chamberland banked on him doing. He knew that Rex would do anything to keep them from being harmed. He had figured out his weakness. He would exploit every time as he could.

A light knock and a sharp command to get his ass into the living room was his only warning that his biological father had arrived.

Chapter 17 part 1

Rex hung limp from the cross. He’d only ever saw the item in the slight bondage he’d seen in some prono vidoes. Bondage wasn’t his thing. Looked like Mr. Chamberland loved to inflict pain. Made sense that people referred to his little playroom as the dungeon. He sure made it one. Or him and his goons had. There’d been five or six men in and out of the room beating him and using all kinds of equipment on him. His skin had been flayed from his back and chest. Some from his thighs where they’d stripped him down to his birthday suit. Embarrassment had left him hours ago. All he wanted was to be let down and some rest. Still, his wolf and him refused to give into Mr. Chamberland’s demands. There would be no submitting to him. Not over choosing a woman to settle down with. No one would make him chose someone he was not attracted to. It was not meant to be that way. Not like that was the real reason that he was being beaten. Nope. Mr. Chamberland had let that slip hours into the second round of beatings he delivered.

Nope the reason came down to the fact that he carried Warlock blood. Being a half-breed. That was something Mr. Chamberland thought he could beat out of him. Wasn’t sure how he thought that was doable, but the man was sure trying to milk all the blood he could from him.

The door flew open and Mr. Chamberland stormed in with Larry and two others that Rex could not put names to. The horrific looks on their faces gave him hope that they were not there to add to his wounds.

“Get him down and clean him up. That bastard of a father will be here in a few hours and I don’t want no sign of the beatings showing.” Mr. Chamberland came to stand in front of him and took hold of his chin, forcing him to look him in the eyes. “You will stand up tall and show no signs of discomfort. Are we clear as the day you were born?” He released my chin and walked away before he got an answer, pausing before he left the room. “If you let on, then Alex and Zac will pay the price. We clear?”

Rex wasn’t sure who they were, but he was sure that Larry would fill him in.

Larry came over and water slid down his cheeks as he looked up at him. “I am so sorry you have suffered so long.”

“How long has it been?”

Chapter 16

“Larry, get out of here.”

“It no longer matters.”

“Nothing has changed for you.”

“Everything has.”

“It has not.” Didn’t matter if it had. The bond had been broken and there was no way to get it back.

“My wife has found her true mate. She is going to join him. Taking my son with her. Once that is known I will lose my place among the pack. It has all been for nothing. I gave up my mate for nothing and I want him back. If we are together then maybe fate will destine us again.”

Doubted it would work that way, but it did not mean Rex did not want to be with him. Yet . . . Not where they could be caught. In his bathroom was not wise. Rex was the lowest among the pack and anyone could walk in at any time without repercussions.

“Go. Please.”

‘Do you not want me.” Larry ran his hands down his back, stopping on his ass.

“Not here. Not know.” Hardest words in the world to say, but they were pure truth. “Go.”

“For now.” Larry stepped out and Rex quickly washed off after he heard the door shut.

* * *

He made his way to the living room and took the seat Mr. Chamberland pointed at. He listened as he was told that he would keep his mouth shut about anything related to the pack and how they lived. Other words, he was to not say anything about his life. He doubted the guy coming would go for that, but he’d give it a try

The knock on the main door put a knot in Rex’s stomach, which dropped to the floor when the man that bore his angular cheeks and rounded eyes and square forehead walked in. He’d always assumed he resembled someone ancestor on his mom or dad’s side, but turned out he looked just like his bioglical father. There was no way Mr. Chamberland could dispute the man’s claim. He could, but the test would prove it. Not that it hadn’t already done so. He was sure of that. If it hadn’t then Mr. Chamberland would not have allowed him inside the house.

Mr. Chamberland walked up to the man, but he walked around him and came right over to him. Rex stood as the man held his hand out, but a grunt from Mr. Chamberland had him dropping his hand before he could reach the man’s hand. The guy looked over his shoulder and then shrugged.

“My named is Aspen Perry. Your mother was my true mate. I have searched for you and her both since the day we created you.” Aspen came to the empty spot beside me and sat down. “Let’s go for a walk and get to know one another.”

Rex stood to be greeted by a growl, only for Aspen to lift one eyebrow at Mr. Chamberland. “It is my time to visit my son. If you stop it, then you will face your Pack Master.”

“Was not stopping it. He has not felt well today. I simply would like for him to remain inside and rest.”

Mr. Chamberland did not want his stiffness to reveal itself. Kind of glad his interference, because walking would be difficult at that time.

“I assume he has seen a doctor.”

Mr. Chamberland nodded and started to leave the room, but as he did, Sara came running in and right up to me. She wrapped her arms around me and said, “Let’s go out tomorrow night.”

Rex put her at arm length, shaking his head. “That will not be possible. I am sorry.”

“You will.” Mr. Chamberland said and patted Sara on her shoulder.

“I will not.”

Mr. Chamberland leaned forward and whispered, “It’s that or terminate your time with this dickweed.”

He turned toward Aspen and ran a hand across his face before he broke his own heart. “I’m sorry, Mr. Perry, but I am not feeling so well. I would like to go and rest. Will you exscue me.”

Rex did not wait for a response. He left the room. As he went to shut his door he heard raised voices promising that he would have time with his son and that he had messed with the wrong supernatural. Then Mr. Chamberland shouted so loud the windows rattled. Before I could reach the bed he had jerked the door open and grabbed him by the back of the collar. Rex did not fight him, he let him drag him down the hallway and into a dark room.

Chapter 15

Rex spent the last three day listening to Mr. Chamberland drone on about how much his mother had disgraced herself by having him, a mixed breed. How that he was still going to pay for that fact soon as he saw this warlock and told him that he wanted nothing else to do with him. Rex wasn’t so sure he was going to do such. He was a man with his own mind and he knew how to use it. Did not matter what happened to him as long as he did what was right. Until he saw the guy and judged him himself there was no decision going to be made on his part.

Larry came in with the key an hour before the meeting was to take place. “Let’s get you out of there and to your room. You are to clean up and put on the clothes Alpha laid on your bed. Then join him in the living room.”

“Suck precise orders.”

“Please do as he says.” Larry unlocked the cage door and reached in to help me scoot out.

Each bone cracked as I moved forward and the muscles refused to stretch. There was no way an hour was going to allow my body to loosen up. A hot shower would help, but three day in an small kennel would take more than an hour to work out.

“You got your legs under you?”

No. “Yes.” No way would I let him see weakness.

“I can’t stand to see you like this, but I admire you standing up for yourself. More than that, I admire all the help you have given the pack members. Lots more have came to me.”

Damn. I was glad to help them, but I was not so sure how much more Mr. Chamberland was going to be willing to take before his punishments for me became a bit harsher. Lately, he’d been going easy on me because of the upcoming meeting. Once it was over . . .

Larry got Rex into his room and onto the edge of the bed. He knelt and reached for his shirt, but Rex knocked his hand away.

“I’ve got it. Go on.”

“I want to help you.”

“Go before you get into trouble.” As much as Rex and his wolf longed to have him, Larry was no longer theirs.

“Don’t care.”

“I do.” Rex pushed to his feet and made his way into the bathroom. He’d just gotten his shirt and pants off when the door opened and shut behind him. He looked over his shoulder and Larry stood there, taking him in.

“I should never had given you up.”

“You did what you needed to. Now go before you screw up what you wanted.”

Rex cut the water on and stepped under the hot water. He had just got shampoo on the rag when the curtain parted and Larry stepped in behind him.
