Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter - Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Raven’s POV
“No, don’t stop them, Raven, she has already been sleeping with him for the last few months.
This is not the first time, it has been well before he returned to the pack earlier this week.
They are together now, dating, and they have both vowed to reject their actual mates to stay together to take over and run this pack. Please, just try to bear it, I will help you get through it.
I am glad that you are in a secure location, this may make you pass out” Emerald linked me, and I felt physically sick.
How am I supposed to ignore the fact that I had just found my mate, and he was making out with my sister? I don’t know if I can just ignore it. “How do you know this? Did she know that he is my mate?
Why can’t I approach him? Maybe he wants me, Emerald. Please let me stop this. He might not know that I am his mate, he may still want me, want US! I don’t want to lose him, Emerald.
He may not be aware his true mate is here. Can’t he already smell our scent up here, like I smelled his scent? Are you sure that this is the only way?
Please Emerald” I linked her back, and I feel the tears that are already sliding down my face. I have questions, and I need answers. I am miserable and frustrated.
I don’t want to give up on my true mate. I know that a true mate is a blessing to you given by the moon Goddess and she takes the bonds that she puts together very seriously.
I know that he is supposed to be a great blessing to me, and I am supposed to be one for him. I am supposed to make him even stronger than he is now.
He doesn’t even know that I am here, and I do want him. I don’t want to give him up, especially not to my sister Reagan. I don’t know if I can survive this level of betrayal.
“I have seen through my visions who he is, and what will happen. I am so sorry Raven. I know this is painful, and if I could take all your pain from you, I would.
I can only bear the brunt of it, but it will be painful to you as well. I am angry about this too, I wanted our mate, they were made just for us both.
Apparently, they didn’t want us and decided that it was acceptable to take Reagan as a chosen mate. He wants to accept Reagan so he can become the next Alpha of the Silver Blade pack.
Just pay attention and listen to what they say when they talk, it may help you decide what you need to do next.
I am truly sorry Raven, but Reagan has been leaving the pack for the last three months and meeting him at a hotel near where he is training.
It is Justin Evans, and I know that you have feelings for him, even before you realized that he was your mate. Reagan has decided to focus on him as her chosen mate to be able to take over the pack.
She, and your parents, came up with this plan from what I have seen in my visions.
I am hiding our scent, so he won’t smell us up here” Emerald told me, and I can’t stop the gasp that erupts from me when I find out that Reagan made up this plan, just to take over the pack.
Not because she loves Justin, but because she is a greedy, manipulative she-wolf.
I can see Reagan and Justin both tense up on the ground from hearing my gasp, and they both start looking around cautiously to see if they can hear anything else, before going back to making out a few minutes later.
My tears are steadily running down my face as I silently sob in pain that I finally found my mate, and I have already lost him.
I have gotten pretty good at crying without making a sound, although I wish I had never had to learn how to do it. I just cannot stand for Reagan to know when she has cut me to the core.
I feel my shoulders shaking and I realize that this is it, they have done it. My heart is completely broken knowing that this was planned out to hurt me.
Reagan did this because she knew that I liked him, a few months after I turned sixteen years old. She caught me on several occasions sneaking looks at him, I tried to only do it occasionally.
I didn’t want to make it obvious at school, I didn’t want him to catch me doing it. He graduated the year before us, so I would only be able to see him in the dining hall after that.
She knew I had a huge crush on him, probably because he was my mate, and I could already feel the pull toward him. Why, Goddess, why? Why do I have to lose my mate?
Have I not suffered enough in this horrible pack? Why am I continuing to be punished when I have never done anything bad to anyone?
I am hurt, so confused, and so very angry right now when my pain truly started.
I was not paying attention to them for the last few minutes, and now the pain I felt in my lower belly literally takes my breath away. I looked down at them and was instantly sorry for doing it.
I see a sight that I will never be able to forget. My mate, Justin, was pounding into my sister with unbridled lust, and their pleasure was clearly all they cared about.
We were not that far away from the packhouse, about a mile, and yet they were so confident in the fact that they would not be getting caught. Neither of them was trying to be quiet about it either.
That made me even madder because he is mine, he is not supposed to be doing this, especially not with her. They had to have been getting together like this for a while.
They were just kissing each other a few moments ago, how could it progress this quickly? Is this how fast it usually goes when people have s*x?
I tried to hold on, to not lose consciousness and pass out. Emerald had told me to listen to see if they would talk, but why would they hang out talking?
Wasn’t their purpose just to come out here and have s*x together? I am totally disgusted with both of them, I knew that she got around. It is a well-known fact in this pack.
But I have always heard that Justin was actually waiting for his mate, just like I had been, it made me even more impressed with him, as girls have been throwing themselves at him for years now.
It made the knife drive into me that much farther just knowing that she went out of her way to sleep with him.
Even though she had no way of knowing that he was my mate, I know that she did this deliberately to hurt me. She has really succeeded too. I have never been more hurt by her actions than I am today.
They are both disgusting to me, and they can have each other, I do not want him anymore if he really likes her, and wants to be with her.
The fact that he could really trade the she-wolf that the Goddess gave him to be the Aloha, instead of the Beta position, actually sickened me.
I have heard the mate bond was super strong, it said that in all of the books that I have read in the library.
I have no idea how my anger at their betrayal is allowing me to be willing to let him go when he hasn’t even been able to scent me yet.
It may be due to the fact that when I close my eyes all I can see is them together, physically joined together, in something that they should never have been doing.
The mental picture of him thrusting into her and the enjoyment that they are both expressing.
I am done with him, and her, they can have each other even as I send up a prayer for something bad to happen to him.
Like the Goddess allowing his d**k to be ripped off of him in some kind of a tragic sparing accident when he goes back to his training. Yes, I am angry.
If I am truthful I am way past angry, and into fury right now. Just seeing what he is doing with Reagan, and the sounds that they are making, my stomach is turning.
I feel nauseous like I could throw up right now. I lay back against the tree and tried to balance my body across the two branches, as I fan my face and try to fight the urge to throw up.
I started praying to the Goddess that they will stop soon. My heart, and body, cannot take this betrayal, or this level of pain.
I am so glad that the clothes that I found to change into were darker colors, so they won’t see me in case one of them looks up into the tree.
He is now on the bottom and she is really getting into her work if the sounds that she is making now are any indication.
If I had found a white t-shirt or bright color, I would have been seen very quickly by them. I hold the groan of pain in, hoping that they could please stop my anguish.
I have never felt this type of pain before, even when I had broken bones. I heard my sister making a loud choking kind of noise.
A short time later, Justin made a loud moan himself, before it finally gets quiet, and my pain starts to ease up.
I did not want to look down at them, but I cannot seem to stop myself from the punishment, I guess I am a glutton for it.
I see Justin cuddling Reagan into him and acting like she was so precious to him, and that hurt almost as bad as seeing them having s*x.
He keeps peppering kisses on her shoulder, neck, and the side of her face.
Her sigh of real contentment and happiness makes me want to go down and introduce her to Emerald, right before I rip her throat out.
It seems like her vicious plan to hurt me has really worked out great for her. She actually seems to have some feelings for him, or at the very least enjoys having s*x with him.
I have never been more jealous of my sister in my life. My perfect sister with her long blonde hair from mom and her deep blue eyes from dad, truly makes her look like a living doll.
That is the only nice thing about her. She is the most spiteful person that I know, and she has never been nice to me in her whole life.
Fury now explodes in my chest, as I fully realize what she has done to me. She has tricked a good man into becoming her mate just to try to hurt me and take over this pack.
She did this to hurt me in the biggest way that she could. She had really put some thought into it, for her to come up with this plan.
The worst part was that Reagan and Justin didn’t even know that he was my mate yet. She will know soon, probably tomorrow, as he will eventually catch my scent, I can’t avoid him forever.
Emerald hides our scent all the time unless we are safely secure in our room. No one ever comes to check on me in my room at the end of the hallway on the Alpha level.
I keep my door locked, and there is a room before mine as a room splits me from my parent’s room. Reagan has the room at the front of the hallway.
We run down one side of the packhouse with a total of 4 rooms. The other side of the hall has four rooms as well.
Three belong to the beta couple, one for them, two for their children, and one for important visiting guests. I don’t care at this moment if he does find out that I am his mate.
I will not accept him as my mate anymore. Just knowing that he was sleeping with someone that he knew wasn’t his mate, just to become an Alpha absolutely disgusts me.
Being an Alpha doesn’t make you a good person or make you better than anyone else. It was literally a lot of hard work, putting your pack first unless you really don’t care about your pack.
With these two idiots in charge, I am sure that they plan to just get what they wanted out of it, and they will drive it into the ground. It is the beginning of the end for the Silver Blade pack.
I cannot figure out what is so wrong with me, why no one apparently wants me. Is there something wrong with me? I mean no one has ever tried to approach me to even ask me out on a date.
I am not ugly, far from it. I mean I don’t wear makeup, but I still look nice. I just don’t have any makeup. My sister and mom are the only Alpha females that have it here at the pack.
My long black hair is always in a ponytail, but it still looks nice. I have a pretty face, long hair, and beautiful green eyes that are truly stunning.
I am not bragging, I believe that my eyes are my best feature. I have seen the guys in my class looking at me before they noticed that I had caught them looking at me.
They then looked away from me with disgust all over their faces. But I saw them looking at me with approval before they got caught.
They were interested in me, and then pretended to be disgusted, but why act like that at all? I am tall, 6’0 even, to Reagan’s 5’10”, which also makes her mad.
Because she wanted to be able to look down on me, but it never worked out for her. I don’t know why she thinks that she is so much better than me.
I think that we both have attributes to be proud of in each of us.
But from what I have seen, if you like me, you are going against the rest of the Alpha family, and no one is strong enough to even want to try.
She really does hate everything about me, and with the way my parents act, they clearly do too. Her whole goal in life is to make me look bad, and be the Luna of this pack.
Well, it is done now, she can have freaking have this worthless pack of idiots. Emerald and I will be leaving, and soon.
“I can’t wait for mom and dad to announce to the pack that we will be the Alpha and Luna tomorrow. This is something that I have really wanted for the last 8 years.
I am so glad you decided that we could be chosen mates. I am also glad that you are willing to lead the Silver Blade pack with me.
I have a feeling that my freak of a sister who keeps staring at you is going to be crushed when she finds out that we are together. You dodged a bullet by deciding to accept me as your chosen mate.
I know that she has a crush on you, so she would probably try to ask you out or something when she sees that you are back from break. I think we will be so happy together.
Raven will be so angry when she finds out that we planned this months ago. I cannot wait for her to find out.
I even told mom to have her sit on the front row for the pack meeting tomorrow, so I can see her face when dad makes the announcement.
I am going to put her next to you so it will hurt her more when dad calls you up on stage. When she realizes that her crush is going to be my mate, she is going to be so jealous of me.
I am so going to get a picture of her face when she finds out, as I will want to remember that moment for a long time” I heard Reagan say to him, and I was so choked up I couldn’t hold in the sob of pain that managed to escape.
It wasn’t loud, but with werewolf hearing, it was loud enough.
I just stayed completely still and prayed that they hadn’t heard me, but Justin started talking when my sob escaped, and they had no reaction, so I think I am safe.
“I have always thought that you were a beautiful she-wolf, Reagan. I am so glad that you came up to my training with your offer, and for us to get extra special time together.
If Raven were allowed to move around the pack, I don’t think that she would be missing the fact that she is my mate. I scented her today when I got back to the pack and confirmed she is my mate.
Per our agreement, I don’t mind rejecting her, as I am clearly getting the better sister out of this deal.
I would have been embarrassed to have to call that freak of nature my mate” Justin said, and with it, my heart was completely crushed.
These two evil people deserved each other, and I will not waste another tear on his betrayal. He “chose” her, so he can freakin keep her.
She will never be faithful to him, and he will not ever be able to trust that their children are his either. She was just doing this to insure that they become the next Alpha and Luna.
She is what he wanted, so she can have him. I am thoroughly disgusted by both of them, and I will not allow them to make me sad one more day.
I had already decided to get the hell out of this horrible pack, and I will not miss the Silver Blade pack for a second. Chapter 3
Raven’s POV
“She is your mate? Are you serious?
Oh, this is the best” Reagan said as she laughed out in joy at hearing this information. “Justin, why haven’t you mentioned this to me before?” Reagan continued.
“I just found out about it earlier today as I have been gone for my training for the last 4 months. I caught my mate’s scent and followed it so I could go ahead and reject them.
I realized it was coming from the Alpha level, and when I went up and it led me straight to her door, it was really faint, but I sensed it. She doesn’t even know it yet.
I am sure that this information is not going to go over well with your parents. They may be upset when they find out. Are they still going to want us to move forward with our plan?
Or are they going to want me and Raven to be mates because we are true mates?” Justin asked Reagan.
I have to admit, I was interested in her reply as well, but I already suspected what the answer was going to be. “Oh no Justin, you will definitely be staying with me.
I know dad is really going to get a kick out of you and Raven being mates. Mom might feel a little bad for her, but I think that this is great.
I could not be happier that her true mate, will become my chosen mate. We will rule the Silver Blade pack together, and it will kill her every day to see us together.
It is my pack anyway, it was never going to be hers. Maybe if we are lucky since she doesn’t have a wolf, she won’t be able to scent you, and your rejection might even kill her when you do it.
That would be the best-case scenario for all of us” Reagan said, and I could tell that Justin was a little shocked at how hateful she was.
Reagan could tell that Justin was not liking this side of her so she quickly changed her attitude and started cooing at Justin, “She doesn’t deserve you, baby, I love you and I want you.
Hopefully, you will come to love me too.
I was just worried, I don’t want you falling in love with my sister after we have already mated.” Reagan said to Justin, looking up at him adoringly through her long lashes.
I have to admit, she really knows how to work people to do what she wants them to. Her ability to look innocent and pure is without measure, she could have been an actress.
Her changing tactics showed me that he might have been upset at her saying that she wished that I would die from his rejection.
She had to do some damage control and then scrambled to bring him back over to her side again.
He obviously does not know her well enough to know that he made a genuinely bad deal by literally getting into bed with her as a chosen mate.
He was just focused on becoming the Alpha of the Silver Blade pack. He probably figured himself lucky that Reagan, who is considered to be one of the hottest girls in the pack, offered herself to him.
I bet he didn’t hold out for long either, despite them not being mates. She can’t show him who she really is just yet, as they have not marked each other.
Once that happens, they are in this fully together, no matter how much he might want to change his mind later on. Even if he did, I won’t be changing mine.
I am glad it worked out this way, good riddance to them both, as they are both not worthy of me loving either one of them. They can have each other, and I hope they have a very horrible life together.
They both deserve it for what they were planning to do to me. “How could you possibly know that? She is your twin sister, this could cause a rift in your family.
You two have to be close to each other by just being twins. Isn’t she the older twin too? I can’t see this working out in our favor. The people in this pack understand how important a true mate is.
They would want the pack to be as strong as it possibly could be, and that would include me taking my true mate, and not a chosen mate” Justin said to Reagan.
He is right, your true mate makes you stronger, and that is the main reason that most try to find their true mate.
Neither of them knew that this was going to happen, and clearly it is causing Justin some doubt about what he wanted to do. “Dad hates Raven. He will be very happy about this.
He has never loved her since the day that she was born. Mom might be a little upset, but she will get over it.
She and dad are chosen mates, she gave up her true mate to become the Luna of the Silver Blade pack.
She did it herself, and if it is good enough for her, then it is good enough for me to do it as well. We make the perfect couple.
We will have strong pups, and our pack will flourish” Reagan said, and I am stunned. I knew my dad was mean, but to hate me, why? What reason could he possibly have for hating me?
My parents have told the whole pack numerous times through the years that they were true mates. They are very affectionate with each other in front of the pack.
I didn’t even know that they weren’t true mates. What else don’t I know about them? “I always thought that they were true mates.
I didn’t know” Justin said to Reagan, clearly confused about my parents lying to the whole pack.
I looked down at them again and wish I hadn’t as she is stroking his chest and then running her hand down his six-pack, and then further down.
I had to turn away as I just can’t bear to see her touching my mate. The pain in my heart is overwhelming, and it is making it hard for me to breathe. I want to just cry my eyes out, but I can’t.
I am stuck up in this stupid tree, trapped until they decide to go back to the packhouse. Why did I come to my favorite spot, it is ruined for me now.
Between Reagan and Justin’s betrayal and finding out that my parents are probably plotting against me too.
I can never come back to it, as it will only remind me of the betrayal that they have all planned for me. Even with all I have suffered, I have never hated them, not in all my 18 years, but I do now.
My only thoughts now are escaping this pack and finding a place to live in the human world. I have read several books on them, and I believe that I can blend in with them just fine.
“We will do the same thing. You will have to reject Raven first thing in the morning, or after the pack meeting. But you will have to do it where no one else will hear you.
Dad is going to tell the pack that we are true mates, so they will fully support us.
Dad thinks that it would be a mistake to not have the pack’s full support behind us when we go to take it over from my parents” Reagan said, and I am amazed at all the plans that they have kept away from me.
Just another thing that shows how much difference there is between Reagan and me. I hear them kissing again and wonder when they plan on leaving the area, don’t they need to get back to the packhouse?
I see where this is going now when I glanced down at them, and sure enough, the pain comes back, and it is intense. Like I got hit in my stomach repeatedly with a bat.
I try to keep myself from passing out, but I can’t, and I feel dizzy before my vision blurs, and I finally passed out.
When I come to, I am lying on the ground, and the right side of my body certainly hurts. I felt tingles on my face, and when I open my eyes Justin is there trying to soothe me.
I moved back away from him, and my right side lets me know that it is the side I landed on when I fell. I moaned as I struggle to sit up, only to see my sister standing in front of me.
At least they took the time to get dressed again. I narrow my eyes at Reagan, as she is ecstatic about getting to truly rub all of my misfortune in right now.
Justin is getting the opportunity to reject me, so the situation that we are now in is all positive for them.
They won’t want anyone to know that they aren’t true mates, and they will now try to strong-arm me into complying with them.
But I am not going to go along with whatever convoluted plan that they decide to come up with. “Raven, why are you out of the house? Are you supposed to be out here? Are you OK?
That fall looked like it hurt pretty bad” I hear my sister ask me with an innocent look on her face like she cared about me.
She was fully aware of how I am kept a prisoner here at the Silver Blade pack. I really have to get out of here.
I needed to check and see how badly I am hurt because I don’t know if I even have time to go pack a bag now. I may be having to leave here with nothing, but I am OK with that.
I just need to get the heck out of here. I will figure out what I need to do after I am safely free of Silver Blade. “Emerald, are you OK? Can we run?
Can we make it to the nearest border?” I linked her, ignoring my sister. I don’t ever want to speak to her again. “I am OK Raven. I am sorry.
I was still trying to deal with the residual pain from their first go-round and didn’t realize that they were going to go for a second.
I should have assumed, as that is how she is controlling him, with s*x. She was his first, and he thinks that she hung the moon in his opinion. He will do whatever she tells him to do.
We can run, and I know where the closest border is, so we only have to outrun them for a little bit. We can try to find some clothes on the other side of the border.
You can catch them both by surprise when you phase. I am ready to go anyway.
He is strong, and could potentially catch us, but since they think you don’t have a wolf, we should be able to get at least a twenty-second head start on them catching them by surprise” Emerald tells me in the link.
I am so proud of her, she is hurting, and she only cares about helping me. No matter the pain, we have got to get out of the Silver Blade pack.
No matter the cost, she will give her all to get us safely out of this pack. “Are you ignoring me, Raven? Are you sure you want to do that to me?
Fine then, I will just make sure that you get punished for leaving your room. You are not supposed to be out here anyway.
I will just let dad know that you are out here, and he will take care of you” Reagan said with a smirk, and then she started mindlinking. Justin is looking at me with guilt and shame on his face.
I can see that he was sorry that I had been an eyewitness to his betrayal.
I wanted to make it harder on him, by letting Emerald let our scent out even more, but I was not going to give him any kinds of a heads-up that I was fine and making plans to escape.
My scent getting stronger could also push his wolf into trying to mark me, and I will not allow him to do that. He has made his choice.
He chose her, and I will honor his decision, and let him have her. She comes with a lifetime of deceit and he will not be having the great life that he thought he would be having with her.
He just doesn’t have any knowledge of the she-wolf that he decided would be better for him, than his own mate. I am sure the irony of me being the true mate, will not be escaping any of us.
“Well, dad and mom are on the way with some warriors now, just remember that you wanted this. You didn’t follow the rules, and you brought this punishment down on yourself.
Dad is going to put you in a cell for leaving the house without permission. Maybe a night in the cells will let you realize that you need to do as you are told” Reagan confidently told me.
She was overly cocky, and I can’t wait to make my escape. I got her drift too, she was going to have dad force me to accept Justin’s rejection while I was being held in the cells.
They were going to use this opportunity to make absolutely sure that I fall in line again. I am not going to be sorry to let them know that it is going to be a pipe dream for them.
They will not be forcing me into doing anything against my will ever again. I know I need to get out of here before my parents and the warriors show up.
It will just be that much harder for me to try to get out of here once they do arrive. I have about three minutes before they show up depending on how long ago she linked them.
I also can tell that she was acting like it was my actions that got me in trouble, instead of her telling on me. Like she didn’t want to do it but had to do it to try to help me.
She is dragging this fake “good sister” crap along, and that is one thing that she has never been. “Emerald, are you ready to go? I have had enough of my family, and this whole pack.
I can’t allow us to be put in a cell, we will be at their mercy, they may even try to kill us now that they have their precious daughter about to take over the pack.
We need to roll, I am ready for you to take over” I told her.
No sooner than I mindlinked her that I was good with heading out now, my parents ran into the glade and immediately phased back into their human side.
My dad’s face was red with anger, and I know that it will not be good for me if he managed to get his hands on me.
Emerald and I would die by his hands, and there might be nothing that we could do to stop it. “I have got this honey. Don’t you worry, Raven.
I will make sure we get where we need to be” Emerald told me and then phased in front of them. I watched the shocked looks appear on everyone’s faces before Emerald took off toward the nearest border.
We are flying and right in time too. I heard the howl from my father’s approach as we neared the border.
He comes out of the trees next to us and changes his direction to the one that we are heading in, as he comes from the side as the rest of the warriors that he brought with him come in from behind, and the other side of us.
He is trying to force me to stop, I know what that howl means, and we won’t be stopping. I would rather die than feel this pain ever again.
I refuse to watch my sister play house with my mate for the rest of my life. I am done here.
They can all rot for all I care now, death would be more welcome than for me to stay at the Silver Blade pack.
