Chapter 22

Conversation flowed around him, but it slipped in and out of his mind. The voices he knew, some more familiar than others. All seemed to talk about him. Rex wasn’t sure when he had . . . fallen asleep? Lost consciousness? Whatever had happened, but it was clear he’d missed something.

“Coven Leader Aspen, were you like Beta Larry, aware of your son’s plan?”

Official tone. Rex had woken in the middle of his entire plan being revealed to the higher ups. Heads would most likely roll and Larry was going to take the brunt of it if he did not get his ass moving.

“Head Supernatural Leader David Perry, I swear to you, I would never have allowed my son to do such. I knew the first time I came for a visit that something was off. I tried to get him to confide in me, but . . .”

There was a huge sigh and then a gruff voice that sent shivers rushing down my spine, settling in my groin. “What I want to know is how a true born beta like that bastard could allow the one that should have been his Alpha to degrade himself instead of standing beside him?”

“Beta Fabin, stand down.”

That sharp command had Rex bracing his hands on the side of the sofa and pushing himself upright. “Do not,” every head in the room turned. “Blame Larry for doing as I told him.” Rex cleared his parched throat. Why was he so dry? “I discussed my plan of actions with my former - - Larry. He voiced his displeasure and dislike in my plan of attack. He could not come up with another way, nor could I. I did what was best for the wolves I was born to lead. They deserved better and I was going to ensure the ones who requested it, got it. No matter the cost to me and my wolf. It was all we could settle for.” Rex believed it was what any good werewolf would do.

“There is several things in there that I’d like addressed, Head Supernatural David Perry.” Alpha Widows placed his hand on Fabin’s shoulder and squeezed. “Remain still. That’s an order, beta.”

“You have the floor, Alpha Widows.”

“First, Rex, you were brave to do what you did. Second, Beta Larry has done admitted that he requested you aid the pack, at any cost to yourself. That was wrong of him. He is to assistant the Alpha, you are not and could not be the Alpha. What he should have done was contact the Pack Master himself.” Alpha Widows frowned, then shifted his attention to Larry, before moving back to me. “I can not help but feel that there is more to the story between you and him. I also would like for you to explain what Larry is a ‘former’ of.”

Shit. He’d caught that slip. Rex hadn’t meant to give that away, but . . . No going back, but there is a way out of it. “Since Mr. Chamberland is under restriction and his appointed overseer is not present, I request a private meeting with Head Supernatural David Perry.” Turned out not to me his wisest move, but in his defense he learned a valuable life lesson.

“Son,” Aspen came over to him and sighed as he shook his head. “You are no longer a member of the Chamberland Pack.”

“What?”

He’d heard that before. Didn’t believe it then, because Alpha Widow had been spouting off about him belonging to him. First off, Rex belonged to no one, but himself.

“He is right.” Fabin ran his hand up my arm, stopping to caressa my cheek. “The moment I announced you as my true mate, you became a member of the Calvary Pack. You know belong to Alpha Widows. That means you must make your request through him, and he must go through the Pack Master and so forth.”

“Bullshit.” Rex rushed backwards, shaking his head until he tumbled over the sofa, landing on the other side, crashing through a glass coffee table.

“Crap.” Fabin shouted. “Are you all right?”

Hands ran up and down Rex’s arms and legs faster than he could brush them away. Each touch only added to the fire rushing through his veins. Each passing second more and more bubbled to life, flowing upwards towards the tips of his fingers, until . . .

“STOP!”

Fabin’s entire body went stiff and he toppled over backwards. One deep chuckle flowed through the room that had gone quiet. A snot accompanied it, as did a sucked in deep breath as if someone had tried to hold in a laugh. Rex wasn’t sure what had happened. All he knew was the tips of his fingers stung and tingled. The fiery feeling had faded, leaving behind an ice like one.

Chapter 21

Once my four relative were seated on the longest sofa in the living room, Alpha Widows and his guys along with Mr. Chamberland and Larry took stance against the wall, leaving me standing between them like bait to be picked over. Rex’s wolf wiggled and rumbled his displeasure, but there was so much power hovering over him he could not dispute the situation he found himself in. It was unlike when Mr. Chamberland attempted to order him around. There were only two people in the room that he could ignore. The rest out ranked him and his wolf. Not good. His wolf was strong. Rex wasn’t sure how he knew the Warlocks in the room held more power than him, but they did. He wasn’t sure if it was because he knew nothing about that side of him, not that he knew much about his werewolf side.

“Let’s get started.” Councilman William Perry scooted to the edge of the sofa. “I got a call from Alpha Donavan from the Oma Pack. He had received ten calls from Alpha Chamberland requesting him take same sex mated pairs. He questioned each of them when they came into his pack. Each told him the same story.” Rex didn’t need to hear the story. Mr. Chamberland had dug his own grave by going back to the same pack so many times. It was something Rex had hoped would happen. Didn’t mean he wanted to explain his own actions. He’d hoped the higher up would just take it at face value and step in. “What I want to know is how you played into all this.”

As much as it bothered his wolf and him to remain quiet, he did so.

“Mate,” Fabin’s voice flowed over him like melted butter. Rex’s wolf whimpered at he knew what was coming, but steeled himself to ignore the order. “Answer him.”

A pin could be heard in the room for several moments.

“You do realize you are breaking several laws by remaining silent.” The Warlock sitting to the right of Councilman William Perry. “You are an unannounced Mix Breed with Warlock and Werewolf blood. Do you know what that means?”

The one thing that Mr. Chamberland had not done was provide him with books regarding Mix Breeds. At first, he had not been aware of the Mix Breed status. Afterwards, he had only cared about punishment for his sister creating such a vile monster.

“Councilman Bryon Perry,” Aspen, who sat to the left of Councilman Bryon Perry, gave Rex a huge smile. “I’m sure that my son is not aware of the laws of Mix Breeds or Warlocks. I’m not even sure if he knows the proper laws of the werewolves.”

The powerful men fell silent again, but Mr. Chamberland kept mumbling under his breath. No one paid him attention, other than Rex, which is why he knew when to leap.

Rex slammed against Mr. Chamberland the moment he lunged towards the sofa of powerful men. Mr. Chamberland must not have expected anyone to react to his movement, because his body loosely flew into the hand-built oak cabinet, cracking it it in the middle. His wolf grunt and fell limply to the floor. Alpha Widows came up beside Rex, looking down at Mr. Chamberland.

“Nice job.” He glanced back at the sofa. “He’s unconscious and most likely has several broken ribs and a bruised spine.”

The guy that sat to the right of Councilman William Perry snapped his fingers and a rope appeared around Mr. Chamberland’s feet and arms. “Just to be safe.” He nodded and then waved to the center of the room. “It is time that you began to talk. There is no way around answering Councilman William Perry’s question. That is an order from Head Supernatural David Perry.”

Shit. Damn. Two councilmen were related to him. One werewolf and one Warlock. And the Head of the Supernatural World. What in the world? That was . . . Shocking as hell. Worse it put him in an even bigger bind. Not only was he going against his family, even if he did not know how they were related to him exactly, but they were powerful men among his world. It was stupid and dangerous to ignore the werewolf councilman, and let ignorance aid him when it came to the Warlock councilman, but . . . going against the head of the supernatural world . . .

“Fine.” He retook his place among the center of the room. “This pack needed help. Mr. Chamberland was not doing what was best for the pack that should belong to my wolf. I could not legally step up and aid them, so I did so the only way I could think of.”

“How was that?” Councilman William Perry asked.

“I traded the one thing that Mr. Chamberland longed for.”

“What was that?” Councilman Bryon Perry leaned back and crossed his ankles.

“He longed to show his dominance over me. So I let him.”

“You let him.” Aspen might as well jumped to his feet as loud as he shouted. “Is that why you sported those bruises?”

Rex simply shrugged and nodded his agreement. He knew none of them would understand, so when a deep growl consumed the room he sucked his lower lip between his teeth to keep from laughing. Fabin was not pleased with his answer. Might as well said his actions.

“This will not continue.”

Rex thought that’s what Fabin said as he came to his side.

“It will not.” Councilman William Perry stood. “I can not legally change the alpha of any pack, but I am allowed to put restriction on supervisions on them. Alpha Chamberland’s pack will be given an overseers and the dugeoun will be eliminated.”

Wasn’t sure who took a deeper breath me, or Larry. Not that it mattered much to him. He was set to go to a new pack in another week. He was following his ex-wife to her new pack so he can be part of his son’s life. The two of them had worked out visitations and the Alpha of the pack agreed to take him in. Her true mate has agreed that he would not keep him from his son. Rex was pleased that all that had taken place for him. It also meant that he would be more likely to find himself a new true mate.

“That is not all that Alpha Chamberland will face when he wakes.” Head Supernatural David Perry said. “He is ordered to bring his pack into the current world. Pack members are allowed to be with their true mates, no matter who they are, and they are not to be punished for such. I can not erase the law that the former alpha wrote about Rex Chamberland, but I can ensure that any more pack members that are Mix Breeds are treated fairly and respected fully. I can also ensure that any Mix Breed that wish to join the Chamberland Pack can do so without future threat or automatic dismissal of petition.”

Rex might have hit the floor if Fabin had not slipped his arms around his waist. Everything he had been through had not been for nothing. Everything his mother’s birthpack needed had been taken care of. The Chamberland Pack members, the wolves his wolf should have been leading, would be safe from future harm and would grow into a productive one. He might not have gotten Mr. Chamberland out of leadership, but someone would be overseeing his every move. That would ensure the pack had what it needed. There would be no more need for him to take any beatings, whippings, or time in spent in a cage.

“Head Supernatural - -“

“Get him sat down and let him rest.”

Fabin lifted him like he weighed nothing and carried him over to the other sofa and laid him down, brushing a stray piece of hair from his head. “Rest, my mate. Your hard work has paid off. No need for you to worry over your wolves any more.”

Chapter 20

What was going on? Who was these guys that was filling the room? Why did they look like him? There were . . . was that . . . it was. Aspen. What was he doing here.

“Rex? You okay?”

“Yes.”

“Doesn’t look like it.”

Hadn’t much happened to him. He’d just been strung up and Alpha Widows came in. The whip had been brought out, but Fabin had . . . That’s right. Fabin had stepped up and stopped anyone from touching him. Wasn’t sure why, but was too. Didn’t want to admit it, but Rex’s wolf did. Rex’s wolf loved the idea of having a true mate. One that he did not have to rebuke to make happy. Rex had not wanted to give up Larry.

“I’d like to know why he has all those abrasions and whelps on his body.” Fabin, or almond sexy eyes, as Rex liked to call him, came up to him and cupped his chin, tilting his head to the left then the right.

Rex’s wolf whimpered, but Rex jerked his chin free and took a huge step back, only to lose his footing thanks to the sprang ankle he’d received the other day during a five on one battle with Mr. Chamberland’s guards. Turned out he was a natural fighter thanks to his werewolf genes, but even he had his limits when the number game came into play.

Warm arms wrapped around his waist, halting his ungraceful fall to the floor.

“What happened to you, my mate?”

Damn, he had not wanted those words to be said in front of so many people, especially his father and whoever else those that resembled him. He still had no clue who the powerful people were, but one thing was for sure they had to be related to him. He just wasn’t sure how. One of them smelt of werewolf while the rest of them held Witch skills, which made more sense than a werewolf.

“Mate?”

“Old Friend,” Alpha Widows voice boomed through the dungeon like a train charging down its tracks. “That’s what we were dealing with when you and the calvary came in.”

“Old Friend?” Rex wasn’t sure who he was questioning. His head was swimming with confusion and his body thrummed with desire and heat from being near his mate. All his body wanted to do was press itself closer to Fabin and seep into his pores, combing themselves for the rest of their lives.

“Yes, my mate. Alpha Widows and Coven Leader Aspen have been friends for all their lives. It is why he asked him to try and discover what was taking place here. He knew something was up, just not what.”

The man that resembled Rex the most, and stood just to the left of Aspen, came forward and laid a hand against Rex’s chest. “I believe it is time that you answered some questions for me.”

“Who are you?”

“Mate, be respectful.”

Took Rex biting the inside of his jaw to keep from smarting off to his mate. He did not even know who was in the dungeon. His mind spun a thousand miles a minute while his body screamed for its mate to take and claim him. His wolf begged to be released so he could present himself to his mate while he bowed to the newcomers that Rex knew nothing about. And his mate wanted him to be respectful. How was he supposed to do all that?

“I think he would, young beta, if he knew who I was.”

Least the man knew part of his state of mind.

“Is that the case, mate?”

Rex lifted an eyebrow and glanced at the hand on his chest. The hand slowly lifted and was held out to him.

“My name is, Werewolf Councilman William Perry.”

Who knew one introduction could provide so much information. Powerful man. And kin to Aspen, so kin to him. How was another question.

“Nice to meet you, Councilman William Perry.” Sure did not want to answer his questions. Was not sure how he would react to me going around the pack law.

“I think there has been some fishiness going on in this pack. Some has been overlooked by Pack Master Combs. Not just during the current reining Alpha Chamberland, but his predecessor.”

Least Councilman William Perry was smart. Let’s see if he would do anything about it. Some higher up talk big and do nothing.

Councilman William Perry faced Mr. Chamberland, glaring wasn’t the right word, but it was clear he was waiting for him to explain his actions. Rex wasn’t sure where it would have been best for Mr. Chamberland to start. There were so many areas to address. Rex himself hoped he started with why he was ranked bottom.

“Fine.” Councilman William Perry turned back to Rex. “Let me tell you what I have been told and then you can fill me in on the rest, but first, let’s take this to the living room.” He faced Larry and waved him towards the door. “Go clear the Pack House of all unnecessary members.”

Chapter 19 Part 2

“Now, now. You can’t be going and hurting my alpha.” The sexy almond shaped eyes said. “You just sit there and be a nice wolf.”

Rex ready for his wolf to attack, but his wolf sat back and tilted his head to the left then the right, before he lowered himself to his belly.

What in the . . .

Mate. Mate. Mate.

It was all that kept bouncing around inside Rex’s mind. Not that he needed to hear it more than once. Even that many times. He’d gathered as much when his wolf had not attacked. His actions had been strange for him and his wolf, but not something he hadn’t heard of. Several of the pack members he’d been able to speak to, including Larry, told him how that when they ran across their mate and realized they were the less dominate of the two their wolf had wanted to obey the other without question. Not a complication Rex expected to come his way. Or one that Larry had warned him of. Larry told him, multiple times, that there were very few wolves stronger than him. Larry wasn’t quite right. Out of the five newcomers in the room, three of them held more power than his wolf. The other two were equal to him. Looked as if the information Larry gave him was outdate. Or Larry hadn’t been around many other wolves. Not a shocking thought.

“Alpha Widows,” Mr. Chamberland came up beside the tallest guy, “what is going on?”

“Fabin,” the tallest guy sighed and released the almond shaped eyes arm. “Am I to believe you and him are . . .”

“Yes, Alpha.”

“Well that changes things greatly.”

“Excuse me?” Mr. Chamberland snapped his fingers and his two goons came up to his side. “Take the wolf to the cage and cover it.”

Rex’s wolf remained vigilant and would have gone with them, but before they could made a move towards him Fabin had blocked the path to him and the other three guys that stood near the tallest dude came to his side.

“Tell your men to stand down.” Mr. Chamberland snapped.

“I’m afraid I can not do such.”

Alpha Widows response earned him a lifted eyebrow and crossed arms.

“If you wish to challenge me, then do so, but as of know that wolf belongs to us.”

Belongs to them? What in the world? Rex belonged to no one. His wolf did not either. That was the last straw for Rex, so he shoved himself through the wolf’s mind and shifted into his human form. He took a second to regain his equilibrium before he spoke.

“I belong to myself.”

Fabin glanced over his shoulder and winked.

“Watch yourself.” Mr. Chamberland command washed over me like everything the man said.

“If you, or anyone else, wishes to speak with me then all they have to do is ask me.”

“I said, watch it. You best remember your place among the pack.”

“And just what is his place.” Alpha Widows asked as he leaned towards me, sniffing. “He is ten times stronger than you. He would be among my top ten.”

Wow. Rex wanted to ask more about his pack, but he was not quite sure what was going on and until he had a better grasp of that, he’d keep his questions to himself.

“That is no concern of yours.” Mr. Chamberland. “Just tell your men to step aside so my guys can take the welp away.”

“That will not happen.”

The soft-spoken order pulled a deep snarl from Mr. Chamberland as he spun and leapt towards the newcomer, only to slam into an invisible wall that sent him flying backwards until he slammed into the cross he loved to string people up to.

Rex wasn’t sure who the man that resembled him was, but what was clear was that he had enough power to send every wolf in the room to their knees, including him.

Chapter 19 Part 1

The visit with Aspen had gone great once we were seated in the living room. We sat and talked about how him and mom met. How the two of them got separated. It sickened him that his grandpa had separated them before he knew the entire story. Grandfather’s actions were disgraceful from the getgo and followed him into the afterlife. Such actions had impacted Rex’s life before he was born. What got his goat more than anything was that his grandfather had, or had someone, knock Aspen out from behind and drop him off in the middle of nowhere. Thankfully, Aspen had known that mom would not have left him on her own accord. Or so he had thought. He had also thought that mom would have sought him out after she was tossed from her pack, not run to west coast and start a new life with another man. Rex still had no clue if the man he believed to be his father knew the truth or not. Something he guessed he would never know. Just like he would never know what his mom and his dad had been fighting over since his eighteenth birthday. Or what had truly happened the night that they died.

“Get up.” Mr. Chamberland appeared like the bully he was in the door way. “You are going in the dungeon.”

Time to pay up. Rex pushed to his feet, not bothering to put on a shirt or a pair of shoes. Both would be stripped off of him before he was fastened to the cross inside Mr. Chamberland’s dungeon.

Mr. Chamberland stepped aside and Cal and Davidson walked toward me with their hands out. There was no way they were going to lay hands on me before being tied down. Nope. Soon as they were within reach Rex ducked under their arms and darted into the hallway and casually walked down the hall to Mr. Chamberland’s office. He came to stand in front of the door and waited until Mr. Chamberland opened the door before he walked in and through the hidden door that led to the room that was used to strike fear into each pack member. It worked. For most. Not Rex. Rex simply took what they gave and healed and waited until he had to take more to protect another pack member. His and Larry’s plan to bring some sense of peace to the pride was slowly working, but it required him spend more and more time inside the dugeon. Rex biggest fear was that Aspen would create a road block in his plan to free all the pack members that wanted a way into a new more forward thinking pack. He still had at least three dozen men and women that wanted his help. Larry said more came requesting help each day.

“Face the cross and put your arms up.”

Before Rex could do as told a crack filled the air just before a sharp sting raced down his arm, consuming his arm with numbness. His wolf snarled and it slipped free before Rex could sensor it, which earned him another strike from the whip that had just been wielded his way. Rex had just enough time to relax his shoulders and brace for impact before the second strike landed. Preparedness made it easier for him and his wolf to accept the whip without flinching and making sound. When nothing else slipped from him, Mr. Chamberland snorted and snapped his fingers. Rough hands, that Rex had felt every time he’d been brought to the dungeon, gripped his upper arm, shoving him forward until his chest was flush with the BDSM cross. Another set of hands jerked his arm up and locked it in place before doing the same to his other arm and both legs. He was stretched out like a blank slate. Some sense he was. His wolf healed all wounds given from the night before session inside the duegon. Both good for Rex and bad for him.

“Oh boy. Flesh blood to play with. What a treat you are given us.”

A deep rich voice flowed over him, but what stood out the most was the hint of waver that clung to each word. What shocked Rex more was the shards of electric currents zipping around him. A faint whimper came from behind him as a hint of vanilla and strawberries filled the air. Thankfully, they had not stripped him before fastening him up like a feast, because the scent assaulting his nose had his cock thickening so hard that he felt the zipper prongs etching themselves across it.

“What is wrong with you, Fabin.”

More wavering? Was this newcomer trying to lure me into believing he was unsettled by the events taking place? Not working. He had came to see Mr. Chamberland. He had to have known what Mr. Chamberland’s little room of torture was all about. Where was that whimpering coming from?

“Fabin, what is wrong with you?”

Fabin? The name alone made Rex squirm, but it drove his wolf to howl. Not intenrally either. Rex had thrown his head back and released an ear piercing commanding howl before his human mind had a chance to catch onto what his wolf was up to. As if that wasn’t enough of a slip up, his wolf surged forward and took charge. Rex found himself falling to the hard cemented floor, taking in his surrounding in one swift glance.

Five people other than Mr. Chamberland and his two goons. One had to be the Fabin guy and the one with the deep, wavery tone. Since Rex, or his wolf did not recognize the other three people it was safe for him and his wolf to assume they had came with the guy who had spoken. What he didn’t get was why the tallest of the five newcomers kept shaking his head at him. The guy on his right had locked eyes with Rex and refused to relinquish the hold. Not that Rex minded. He had some major sexy hazel almond shaped eyes and a slender jawline that begged to be kissed and suckled. If he would allow it. If he would . . .

The tallest guy gripped the guy to his right’s arm as he began to move towards Rex. Rex’s wolf snarled and lunged forward, only to have the guy move in front of the tallest man.
