Chapter 14

Before I could get the rest of my explanation out people where rushing around her and Mr. Chamberland was holding a hystical Sandy in his arms. He had a scowl on his face and growled at Rex to explain what he did to poor Sandy. That no woman should be this upset. Not that Mr. Chamberland ever cared about women’s feeling in the past. Rex had saw how he treated the women he brought home to bed.

Rex stood up taller and spoke in a normal tone, not caring that everyone had gone silence. “I was trying to explain to her that I was invoking the Previous Mate Rule.”

Mr. Chamberland’s eye’s went wide and a snarl filled the air squashing the murmurs of disbeliefs coming from the other pack members.

“You have not found no mate.” Mr. Chamberland finally said.

“I found my mate the first day I arrived. I did not know about my mate until I read the books you provided me.” Rex made sure to keep the pronouns out of his speech. He would not specfy what sex his mate was.

“Then who is she? Why is she not at your side?”

“I decided that I would be better off without my mate, so I decided to Revoke our Mateship.” Rex wasn’t quite sure if he used the right wordage there, but he was sure Mr. Chamberland knew what he meant. His mouth sure dropped open for a second, but then he got this huge smile on his face.

“You are lying and you will take Sandy on her date. That is an order.”

Rex expected this and prepared for it. “I have proof.”

“You do not.”

“Ask your Second in Command.”

Mr. Chamberland glanced at Larry, who seemed rattled for a minute then recovered quickly. “I witness him reject his mate. I’m sorry I did not say anything, never thought he would use such a rule.”

Larry had done just like Rex expected him to do. Man was great at saving his own ass and aiding others. He was always sending people to me to help them. He was also a great guy. Since I got to know him, I wished he had been willing to be my mate. He would have been a nice partner. Just wasn’t in the cards. Maybe someone else would be given to me.

“Fine. Fine.” Mr. Chamberland’s promise of retribution clung in those two words, but he softened his tone when he dealt with Sandy. “I’m sorry this has happened to you, Sandy. If I had know I would have never . . .”

“It’s fine, Alpha.” She wiped her eyes and smiled up at him. “I have other options in the pack.”

“That’s great, honey.” Mr. Chamberland said and patted her on the back. “Then go enjoy the rest of the night.” He watched her walk away and then faced me. “As for you, you just bought yourself three days in the cage.”

Another thing Rex expected. Actually, he’d expected time in the dungeon. Guess Mr. Chamberland figured he’d have to go easier on him since he had that meeting coming up with his biological father.

“Larry take him to the cage.”

“Wolf or human, Sir?”

“Human.”

Shit. That was going to be uncomfortable. Oh well. He’d handle it.

Chapter 13

Rex stood outside the gym building behind Mr. Chamberland’s house, waiting to be called in front of the entire pack. Down front sat all the single females, just like the book he’d read said there would be. Up on the podium was Mr. Chamberland and to his right stood Larry, the one that had supposed to be his. The one that he’d willing let go so he could be happy, but he had looked anything but happy since then. Even when they passed his eyes had held sadness and he had made little touches with me. Touches that still sent shivers over my arms, but the mate smell was gone. The breakage wordage, spell whatever you called it, had worked. They were no longer each others, which was good. It provided him his out for the day’s event. Yet another thing Mr. Chamberland was going to be ticked off about. There’d been lots of those over the last few days.

Rex had came to the aid of several wolves that came to him over. A couple of them had been men that just needed advice on how to escape Mr. Chamberland’s authority control. He’d simply showed them the passages in the old text that told them they had the right to switch packs by reaching out to the Pack Master if Mr. Chamberland refused to allow them to if they had valid reason. All did. Most had better job offers. There had been one or two that came to him wanting to know what to do about their mates being of the same sex. Once again, he referred them to the text book he’d read and told them it was fine for them to go over Mr. Chamberland’s head. At first, Rex had not know how for them to do that, but with a little bit of inquiry with Larry, he was able to figure out that Mr. Chamberland kept the man’s phone number in his office. Simple enough for Rex to sneak in at night and get the number. Even easier for him to pass it along to those that needed to reach out to the man. It’d taken all his strength not to reach out to him about his own situation, but him and his wolf knew he was needed there.

“Today is my nephew’s Choosing Ceremony, so if Rex Chamberland will come forward.”

Time had came. He slowly walked from behind the building and up onto the podium, making sure to stay at the edge of the stage where Mr. Chamberland had instructed him to stay.

“One by one each of you single woman will walk by him. If he catches your scent he will reach for you. If not, then you all will fight for the chance to be his first date.”

Rex sat there, staring at a knot on a board next to his blue shoe. It took only three minutes for the fifteen females to walk by.

“Then it is up to the ladies to decide who he will date first. You each drew numbers before you came here. The lowest two numbers will start and go from there. Let’s get this going. Wolf form only.”

Rex continued to stare at the boards, not caring one way or the other. He wasn’t even sure how many had fought. When there was a faint snarl to pay attention from Mr. Chamberland.

When had he came up to his side? Didn’t matter. Rex wasn’t about to watched female wolves fight over him. It turned his stomach. Why would anyone want to fight for the right to date another. Why not just ask them. Why risk harm to one selves? I could see if both parties agreed to such an event, but it should be there choice. Not like this. I can even see it taking place if both sex were allowed to participate and if only the singles who wanted to participate did so.

“The winner is . . .” Rex glanced up taking in the tall, lanky, big boobed, blonde woman, who stood naked smiling at him. “Sandy Adkock. The date will take place tonight at seven.” Nice of Mr. Chamberland to set up the date for him, but . . . The man should have asked him first. “Everyone enjoy the food and mingle.” Mr. Chamberland waited until everyone was out of their seats and then came by him, jerking him by his collar. “Time to meet the future Rex Chamberland.” Yeah right.

Rex followed behind him and into the crowd. They came to a stop in front of Sandy, who still bore the huge smile. Mr. Chamberland gripped the young woman on the shoulder. “Sandy, I’d like to introduce you to Rex. You two enjoy the rest of the party and your date tonight.”

Mr. Chamberland walked away, leaving the crowd to surround us. Rex hadn’t wanted a crowd around them when he let the lady down, but if he had to do so there, he would.

“What do you have planned for us to do tonight?” Sandy’s soft and gentle tone made the sickness in my stomach worse, but Rex was not going to be forced into dating anyone. Not for any tradition. Specially one that was being twisted to fit a single man’s way of thinking, and a train of thought that was from the stone age.

“Sandy, you seem like a nice lady,” Rex made sure to keep his tone soft and low. “but I will not be taking you out tonight or any night.” A screamed ripped through the crowd that had everyone turning their heads.

Chapter 12 part 2

“Yes, but she left a birth certificate that was filed with the state of California. She had her lawyer pay for a fake one to be created for her husband and the world to see, while he filed the real one. We have already done the Truth Test on the human lawyer.”

Rex could not believe what he had heard. What did that mean for him? His entire life had been a lie. His mom was a master liar. Mr. Chamberland already hated him, what would he do with him now that he knew he was a half-breed. He would not allow gays in his pack. What would he do with me if it became known?

“What is this bastard asking for?” Mr. Chamberland’s tone had gone clip and snippy.

“Watched your tone, Alpha.”

“Sorry, Pack Master, it’s just you know my stance on half-breeds. You also know that my father wrote it in our law book that my sister’s child was a member of this pack, even if my sister could never be.”

“You have no choice, but to live up to your law book.” The Pack Master said. “As for the Warlock, I suggest you give him what he is asking for.”

“And that is?”

“Visitation with his son.”

This was not going to go good for Rex. Rex already had to toe the line in order to keep his wolf out of trouble with Mr. Chamberland. Looked as if being born a half-breed, whatever that meant, was going to be a strike against him. If his birth father, and Rex was not sure how he felt about meeting the man who created him, pushed for the right to see him then . . .  Damn, he was in for more than time in the cage.

“Fine.” Mr. Chamberland sighed so hard I could hear it clearly. “He can come in three weeks. I have the Choosing Ceremony planned in a week’s time and you know it is a week long.”

“Then he can come in two weeks.” The Pack Master must have stood because a chair scrape the floor. “Next week will be the ceremony, the week after will be the date week. After that week he can meet his son. Like I said, you will want to keep this Warlock happy. He is a powerful Warlock among the Supernatural World.”

“Two weeks then.” Mr. Chamberland’s tone was lower so he must be walking the Pack Master out of the office.

Rex waited quietly until light had his wolf squinting up at Mr. Chamberland’s narrowed eyes and red face.

“Your mother was more of a slut than I even reliazed. She really fucked this pack over and left me with a mess to deal with. You will do as I say when you meet this Warlock. You understand me.”

Rex did not respond with any nod or shake of the head.

“If you do not, then you will spend a week in the dungeon chained to the wall with my whip each night. Does that paint the picture clear for you.”

It did. Did not mean I would do as he said.

“The doctor will be here to remove what is left of the bullet in an hour. Then you will shift and go to your room, clean up and stay. Your food will be brought to you until after the Choosing Ceremony.”

He walked away, leaving me to plan my rebellious act toward the Choosing Ceremony. Larry had left me the book on what that was for, and made sure he wrote out that Mr. Chamberland did not allow any male to chose a male as a first date. It was to be a female werewolf. I would not do that unless I found one attracted.

Chapter 12 part 1

Pain laced through my body worse each day. My wolf clinched his fangs together, refusing to howl. He remained sitting, even when Mr. Chamberland came in taunting him about how his mother had caused his own downfall and put him in the spot he would remain in for the rest of his life. As much truth as lurked in those words, me and my wolf knew there was more to the story. Larry came in each day to bring us food and water. Degrading to eat from a bowl like a dog, but I had to keep my strength up. Only God knew what lay ahead of me when the week was up. What I did know was that hell rested ahead of me. Mr. Chamberland lived to make my life miserable. Not only his actions showed it, but he promised to do so until he broke my wolf and my wolf would not break. I knew that.

What had shocked me and my wolf the most was that the cage sat in the far back corner of Mr. Chamberland’s office. It remained covered with a black sheet unless Mr. Chamberland decided he wanted him to see him punish another member of the pack that had decided to step out of line. I wasn’t sure why he thought that was wise. All it did was drive my wolf’s need to take the weak, pathetic, bastard of a false leader down. Just having the ability to hear what Mr. Chamberland planned on doing in the future gave me a heads up on him. And a way to manupiliate things to go my way. What got me the most was the unexpected visitors that he had on my lats day in the cage. It taught me a lot more than the books had.

The books had told me there was a hierarchy among the Supernatural World, but it had not explained the basics of it. The overheard conversation did.

There was the packs that were led by their Alphas. The alphas were overseen by the Pack Master, who was overseen by the Supernatural Council that existed of one member race called a Councilman. The Supernatural Council is ruled by the Head of the Supernatural, aka Head Supernatural. The Pack Master is who had came to see Mr. Chamberland to see if he had become the guardian of Rex Chamberland. Mr. Chamberland answered him honestly, but when the Pack Master asked about his well being and to see him, Mr. Chamberland said he was fine, but having a hard time adjusting to the news of being a werewolf and he was limiting his contact with the numbers of powerful werewolves. The Pack Master had remained silent for some time, but in the end accepted what Mr. Chamberland said, but before he left, he gave him a stern warning that he did not want to mishandle the situation with his new ward. Mr. Chamberland asked what was going on. What he was told not only shocked him, but sent him and his wolf to his ass.

Pack Master said, “Did you know that the boy’s father was not the human your sister married?”

Mr. Chamberland growled. “Yes he was. It was why my father disowned her.”

“No, he was not. Your sister’s true mate was a Warlock.”

“A what!” Mr. Chamberland’s shout rattled my cage. “You telling me that my nephew is a half-breed?”

“It appears that way.”

“By whose word?”

“The Warlock’s and you sisters.”

“My sister is dead.”

Chapter 11

Cafeteria reminded me of high school. There was a huge line for a buffet style counter. Rex must have been the last to show up, because he was all the way in the back, but it did not keep him from hearing the conversations taking place. Wished it had. Would have saved him some trouble.

“It’s her son. My dad says so.”

“Yeah, mine told me that Rene’s wolf killed her human husband after she sent here son here. How much more of a disgrace could she be to our Pack.”

Rex bit his tongue when the younger boys spoke about what their fathers had said. They were just repeating what they’d heard from their parent. No reason to take my anger out on them. The first set of adult conversation he picked up on wasn’t so bad. Kind of shocked him and put more determination to refrain from falling under the control of Mr. Chamberland. Wished it was the second one that hadn’t pushed me over the edge.

“Was it not disgraceful enough that she left us to the hands of her brother’s hatred when she embarrassed her father by sleeping with that human when she was betrothed to that wonderful werewolf. Sending her son back here has done nothing but put a huge strain on him. Did she not care about her child?” The man had said to his wife.

“I’m not sure he will. He’s much stronger than Alpha Chamberland.”

“Doesn’t matter. Law books says he’s ranked at the bottom. He can’t even eat a full meal. It won’t take long before Alpha Chamberland has him in his dungeon and under his control. Then what do you think he will do with all that power.”

“I’m sure he will use it to aid us, just like his mother would have done for us. I knew Rene. She was a wonderful woman. She would have taught her son to take care of those weaker than him. His wolf might not be able to lead us, but he will not turn his strength on us, either.”

The woman was right. Rex would do what he could to aid the people here. He wasn’t sure how, but he hoped to find a path that led him into helping these wolves avoid Mr. Chamberland’s authorative control.

“Look at him standing back there. He’s nasty as hell. What gives him the right to come in here and take our food. His mother disgraced herself, twice. No wonder her father kicked her out of the pack. If I had been Alpha Chamberland, I would have forgone his father’s written word to teach the bastard about his heritage.”

“Least Alpha Chamberland is going to get him inside the dungeon before long. How long do you think it will take? One day? Two?”

Dugeon? What the fuck? Rex would not go into any such place. His would take the half wolf leader out before hand.

“What are you looking at you smug bastard? Your mom not teach you what your place was?” The man sneered at him. “That’s right. She was a hoe that spread her legs for humans.”

Rex lunged, shifting in mid-air, landing on top of the werewolf, gripping his neck with his fangs. The room grew silent, besides some chairs scraping the floor. Rex did not make a move to rip the man’s throat out. He simply held him still. The man did not make a move. He knew who was the more dominate wolf and when to submit.

A warm scent of pepperiment and salt filled my nose as hand came to rest on the back of my neck.

“Rex, you need to release Allen before the Alpha gets here.”

Larry. We might have released him from being our mate, but our wolf still viewed him as ours. His words were kind and caring, but worry clung to them, but Rex would not let the weasel of a wolf up without an apology from him.

“Please, Rex.”

“What is going on here?”

Mr. Chamberland’s voice boomed through the room, causing the guy between Rex’s teeth to grin up at him. He might think he had the upper hand since his Alpha was there, but there were still tight fangs around his neck. It only took a small tug to rip his throat out.

“Larry, get that bastard off of Allen’s throat.”

“Alpha, if I pull him off, Allen will not have a throat left.”

“Release him, this minute.” Mr. Chamberland gripped the back of Rex’s neck, squeezing.

Rex tightened his hold on Allen’s neck, causing him to whimper.

Mr. Chamberland snarled in his ear, forcing his power to flow of Rex, but Rex did not submit to him. It was then that Mr. Chamberland softly said, “Release him or I’ll force you inside a cage for the next week without food or water.”

Rex didn’t doubt the man would, but he also didn’t doubt that Mr. Chamberland heard the soft whispers of people speaking about how much more power the child of Rene had than their Alpha. It was good that they saw that, but not either. It would make any punishment he got worse. Mr. Chamberland would want his members to see that he had full control of the lowest rank pack member. It was either rip the man’s throat out to show he would not listen to the man who thought he held power over him, or back down and let others think he was going to toe-the -line. Not an option for him and his wolf.

“Last warning.” Mr. Chamberland snarled.

Rex jerked his head sidewards, slamming into Mr. Chamberland’s face and tossing Allen’s throat across the room. Gasp filled the room as he darted out of the cafeteria and down the hallway to the front door. He jumped out the window and raced down the driveway, only to hear gunshots. One bullet hit beside him, then another, but the third hit in in the side, stinging and knocking him to the ground. It burned and hissed through his entire body, leaving him motionless.

“Did you think I did not have a way to handle wayward wolves.” Mr. Chamberland snarled. “Larry, take him to the cage. Leave the bullet in for the week. Let him see how it feels to have silver course through his system.”

Larry’s arms slipped under him and walked back up to the house. Once inside he made his way into Mr. Chamberland’s office and through a hidden passageway. He laid him inside a wolf size cage and then ran his hand over him.

“Why did you not listen to me?” Larry rubbed his head against his flank. “You are going to be in major pain while that silver words it’s way through your body. Just breath through it and the week will be over it before you know it.” Larry kissed his nose and then stepped back. “I’m sorry for the everything today.”
