The Beast within

Chapter 36 punishment

Jake's P.O.V

  I took my phone out of my pocket and looked through the numbers for the one I wanted and hit the call button.

  “Speakerphone.” my mom said, she could barely even stand to look at me. I tapped the speaker button and we all listened to the phone ring, until she answered.

  “Jake is that you? Hi baby, I miss you so much.” Kelly said, but I knew I had to do this.

  “Im sorry but I have to do this.” I said, sighing and the phone went silent for a moment before Kelly spoke again.

  “Do what? What do you have to do?” Kelly asked, but I didn't reply and decided it was best to just get it over and done with, make a clean break of it.

  “I, Jake McGee, reject you Kelly Nate. Please accept I beg you.” I said, hoping that she would just accept it, so that maybe my parents would think it was enough and not punishment.

  “But….but….but what did I do? Jake?” Kelly replied and I can understand why this had come as a shock to her, but I also knew that I needed to explain it to her.

  “Because I cheated on my other mate with you, this is one of my punishments. I never told her about you before we mated and marked each other.” I replied and all I could hear on the other line was silence, then suddenly I heard her take a deep breath.

  “Listen to me Jake, what you did was wrong and I don't blame your parents for being angry at you, do you know why? BECAUSE YOUR AN ASSHOLE! I KELLY NATE ACCEPTS YOUR REJECTION! oh and please lose my number and never call me again, I want nothing to do with you ever again.” Kelly replied, hanging up the phone. I closed my phone and put it back in my pocket, but my dad shook his head at me.

  "Hand me that phone." my dad ordered, I took it out of my pocket and handed it to him.

  “Now, what did you decide on, Jake McGee? What is your second punishment?” my dad asked, making my shoulders drop and my head bow. 

  “I don't want to be a rogue dad, I don't want to die, I pick the cells.” I replied and my dad nodded his head.

  Lucas’s P.O.V

  Faith and I never raised our son to behave like this and he disgusted me with his actions. The mate bond is sacred and should be cherished, but he had pissed all over it and then tried to blame Casey for his f**k up. How dare he? Who the f**k does he think he is? I never thought I could ever be this disappointed in my son, but he had proved me wrong. I wasn't just disappointed I was pissed off to the point that as his Alpha I just wanted to ram my fist into his face, but as his father I couldn't even bear to look at him.

  “Bo, come to my office at once.” I said, mind-linking one of my guards. After twenty minutes Bo knocked on the door and entered, looking scared and confused like he was in trouble, but he was in trouble. It was the little s**t standing in front of me.

  “Bo, take Jake McGee to the cells and lock him up, he is to remain there for four months, longer if I decide otherwise.” I said, looking at Bo, he nodded and took a step forward.

  “Now get the f**k out of my sight before I punch your face in. No son of mine betrays his mate, no matter if he finds a second mate. You never cheat on your mate. NOW LEAVE!” I shouted, making Jake flinch in fear and he had every right to be scared because the only thing that was stopping me was Faith. Bo took Jake by the arm and led him out of my office and down to the cells.

  Jakes P.O.V

  I thought my father would have shown me some sort of mercy, but there was nothing merciful about being locked up for four months. Bo never let my arm go as he walked me to the cells, but he didn't say a word and just looked forward.

  “Why man? Why did you do that to your mate?” bo asked me, but I just shrugged my shoulders.

  “I guess I was thinking more with the head between my legs rather than the head on my shoulders.” I replied, but bo just shook his head in disgust. We got to the entrance of the cells and Bo opened the door, leading me down the steps and down a long hallway. The air was thick with the smell of blood and death, to the point where it was making me gag, rats were running across the floor and I could hear the cries of the ther prisoners as they were being tortured. Bo walked me over to the third cell and unlocked the door, pushing me inside and making me stumble.

  “Enjoy your stay.” bo said, closing and locking the door behind me and with that he walked away, leaving me alone in the dark cell. The only light I could see was coming from a small window, but I couldn't even see out of it because it was that high up. I sat down on the so-called bed, which was just a mattress on the floor and nearly had a heart attack when a rat ran across my foot and out of the cell. I started thinking to myself that if I had just rejected Kelly when I first met her instead of thinking with my d**k, or if I had told Casey about her as soon as I found out about her being my second mate, I would have been just fine and wouldn't have to be punished like this. Casey was right, this was all my fault and there was no one else to blame for my actions. Dad had taken my phone away from me, but luckily I had a spare one hidden in my other pocket. I looked around, checking to make sure that there were no guards or warriors watching me and took it out of my pocket dialing the number I wanted and waited for it to start ringing.
