Once Rejected, Thrice Accepted
Chapter 42

She was the only prisoner in the dungeons, and she made sure we knew it. When we walked through the doors, we could hear her yelling from the farthest cell away. It wasn't hard to hear her throughout how she was related to the Alpha of her pack and that if we did anything to her he would wage war on us. She called us all sorts of names even mentioning how she never wanted Jackson, but her mother knew he wasn't of sound mind. The guys had to hold me back from running down to her cell and ripping her hair out chunk by chunk.

We wanted her to suffer from the wait, so we took our time going over everything that had happened since she was brought down there. I asked a few guards to go check her room and any she had been in.

"Check everywhere even places that you think wouldn't hide anything pushing and pulling on everything. I know she has something hidden that can help us." I whispered to a few guards before they headed off.

If she wouldn't give us details, I would replace something that would force her head. I did this request while the guys were finishing up with the guards. It was just my mates, Charles, Erin, and I down here. Brittney wanted to come but I knew this coward would say what she needed to get under her skin and she didn't need that.

"Ready?" Erin asked me as the doors were unlocked. "You don't have to be here for this. We can handle her and you can just hang with your sister."

I gave him a weak smile. "I know. Brittney is fine with Allie making cookies and getting some embarrassing stories on the Alphas while I am here helping deal with my evil stepmommy. Although I feel a bit like Snow White right now."

"No dwarfs here but plenty of pups. That close enough?" Charles teased stepping up to my other side.

I nudged his arm with mine and smiled. The guys walked up and made sure to get in front before we walked down the halls toward Matilda, the wicked wolf of the whores. I hoped she enjoyed her small reprieve because now was time for pain until I got my answers. "It's about damn time. Get me the hell out of here." She demanded huffing her way to the door. "Well, what are you waiting for?"

"She thinks we are here to let her out, Leo." Lucas said blandly, keeping his eyes trained on our prey.

"She must have gone crazy in that short amount of time, Duncan." Leo whirled his finger by his ear.

"Either way she is wrong. She is staying crazy or not." Duncan smiled as he nodded his head at the guards. "You guys can head back. You don't want to see this."

Hey eyes went wide freaking out that they would just leave her like that. "No, stay. Don't let them do this. I'm innocent."

They just laughed all the way until they made it through the doors. She still hadn't seen me since I was surrounded like we were going through a waging war. Overprotective brutes.

"Why would you believe her?" She wailed as they opened her cell door and walked through.

"Because I don't lie." I responded pushing past them watching her try to make herself as small as possible. "Did you miss us? I can't wait to get to know you better. What are your holidays like? Is Christmas full of revenge plans, your daddy telling you who to open your legs for, all while opening presents?"

She uncurled her body and leapt at me using her nails to scratch my face. Leo grabbed her around her stomach and threw her back on her bed. "Wrong move."

"Let's move her to the correct room." Duncan growled. "Once we get our answers, I will let her die quickly."

"I think it should depend on how fast we get our answers." Charles chipped in.

'Don't kill her.' I linked the guys. 'We can use her. Find out who she speaks with, when, where, and so on. We can give them false information to get us ahead of the game!

'Good plan. Thinking like a Luna already.' Duncan smiled.

I just rolled my eyes as Lucas cleaned up the blood. They got her tied up in the torture room and slowly showed her all of their toys. I saw a few of them and realized I was not ready for this. I just needed to get my answers and then they could have at for any answers they needed.

"Ok, let's do this." I pulled a chair up in front of her. "So let's get my questions answer fast so the pain doesn't start until they start in with their questioning."

'Your father has umm.... started! Draco linked. I could feel bis embarrassment. 'Any change in her actions?'

Gross. "Yuck." I shook my shoulders in disgust.

All the guys laughed. They knew why I was making those faces. No one wants to hear about their parent's s*x life.

"I'll answer whatever you ask if you promise to keep me safe." She batted her eyes at Leo before winking at Lucas. "I can be a good girl."

'We sure we need to use her? She just made it so I don't want to ever say Good Girl in a sexy way again. Lucas linked. I could feel his disgust in the link and had a hard time not laughing.

'I'll make it better later.' I linked back before focusing on her. "How did you make it so Jackson felt a mate bond with you when you aren't his mate?"

"I am..."

"Don't fucking lie. You aren't anything to him or my family so don't even start." Erin warned her.

"Sorry." She mumbled. "My dad found a witch to do it. Jackson was just an easy target. I would rather stick pins in my eyes than screw him again, believe me."

I backhanded her watching as her body fell to the ground along with the chair she was tied to. "Don't put him down. You will never be good enough."

'Hey, we have an issue!' Allie linked filled with worry.

'What's up?' I watched Leo sat her back up smiling. He is probably thinking dirty things right now about that slap. He is such a perv.

"Why would you treat my sister like shit when there was a chance that Jackson would kick you out after replaceing out?" I was pissed at him for this knowing he wouldn't have believed her. I know part of the reason is that she speaks so low and makes things lighter than they should but damn. 'Britt and I went to the pack house to play some pool with friends and your group of bullies showed up. They caught her in the bathroom and now she won't talk to me.

Always the damn bathroom. 'Did they hurt her? I will have them put to death like I did their friend.

'Only a bit. It was more mental. She really needs a family member to have her back. Allie sounded worried.

'On my way. I stood up growling. "Deal with her. My sister needs me." I saw a smirk on Matilda's face but when I gave her a second

glance it was gone. I must have imagined it.

I turned to walk about before a thought popped into my head. I looked back at Matilda and could feel a sense of joy in her aura. That bitch.

"It was you." My hand flew up grabbing her throat and squeezing. "You put those bitches up to it? Did you tell them to taunt her? To hurt her. Maybe to put her in her place?" I growled letting my claws grow out. "I should rip your throat out. I don't care what people do to me but when it comes to someone, I love I will kill for them."

"Woah, there." Erin rushed forward pulling me off Matilda. "How about we cool off as we go replace Britt and help her then we can come back to how you want to rough her up a bit?"

"Fine." I shrugged out of his arms and walked out of the cell but stopped and turned back keeping my eyes on Matilda. "You may not die today, tomorrow, or a week after that but just know that the moment your pathetic a*s becomes useless, I will be dragging the last breath out of your body."

"Fuck..." Leo whispered.

I smiled at them. "Remember what I said boys. She is mine and you three are mine later. I have some ideas that include some fluffy handcuffs."

"Yuck." Erin gagged and dragged me down the hallway.

'Let's take her and her for a run. I know the guys want warriors on us but let them know we need the stealthy ones so she will open up to us and keep her having a wolf a secret. Moonlight instructured. I could feel the worry coming off of her. 'We got this. We got her.'
