Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter - Chapter 43: Chapter 66

Alpha Blake’s POV
I cannot wait for this meeting after dinner. The new people really think that we are all morons. We may not have a fancy packhouse, but we have all seen the show.
By the show, I mean his daughter having s*x with her mate, and pretending to be her sister. My men and I have seen both videos, and we know Reagan’s body about as well as her mate does now.
That video has flown through the pack. They needed to be in a secure pack, and I can’t stand the council trying to tell us what we need to do. We do need funds, and they need a safe place.
I have already allowed them admittance to the pack, and as far as I am concerned, they are members now. My word is my bond, and I believe in being honest and truthful with my pack members.
My men were interested in the girls too, we will have to discuss that after the meeting with their fathers.
We have shared before, and can again, but I think that one of my Beta’s, is interested in the Beta female. I may have to disappoint him with that though, as I have my eye on her as well.
I am the Alpha here, and what I say goes. I can already see it in Reagan’s eyes, she thinks that she will be the Luna just because she is an alpha female.
She is mistaken, I mean I would probably let her bear some of my pups, but I don’t know about the Luna thing. I just can’t see letting the new p**n star be my mate and Luna.
She is famous now, and not in a good way. Maybe the pack won’t be able to recognize her with her being blonde, with blue eyes now, but Goddess, she is hot either way.
I will just have to keep from mentioning to her that she was way hotter with black hair and green eyes. I am quite sure she is jealous of her sister.
She is clearly starting to flirt, and I know that she is doing it with the Luna position in mind.
They think they are so much smarter than us, and I have to put my cup in front of my mouth to hide the smirk. I really cannot wait for this meeting.
Sierra is whining about the new arrivals, and I could see her glaring at both girls in jealousy.
Sierra was OK as my girlfriend when I was just a warrior, but now that I am Alpha, I need to really focus on producing strong pups.
I am good with having both the new arrivals bear my offspring, both of them will do fine with providing me with what I need.
I know her dad thinks that he can buy us off, but that won’t be happening either. I will provide him some protection, I will only take what he has already offered.
He wants a little land, to build a house, and it is a good deal for both of us. He will pay to build his house, and that is fine with me.
He already offered to increase my land, and give me the price on their heads. I don’t think he is aware of the actual price on their heads yet, but he will be soon. As soon as we get into the meeting.
I already know who he is, I researched him as soon as we got the call from that Silas guy. Both of them are old-school, conniving men.
They think they are so much smarter than us, and I won’t be letting them know any different until I need to. The more they think they have the upper hand, the better it is for us.
Their opinions of us as ranked members, and our pack, will only give me the advantage when I need it.
I know for a fact that Sierra is royally pissed off, as she has already demanded that I have them leave here tomorrow. She has been my girlfriend for about 2 years, but she is an Omega.
She is not a high enough rank for me to accept her as my mate. She cannot bear me strong pups to take over this pack when the time comes.
Plus, she has tried for the last two years, and she has never been pregnant. She is chomping at the bit to take that Reagan girl down a peg. I will probably let her do it too.
I think it will be fun to watch and see what happens. I know that we were all stunned to see her in real life when she exited that SUV. I should have remembered that she was Alpha Graham’s daughter.
It was mentioned in the second video. We were all pretty interested in her, and I saw the smirk Alpha Graham had before he hid it. He is thinking that we are all wanting her as a mate.
We all might want to mate her, but none of us want to mark her and claim her as ours. It was clear from her video showing how relaxed she was, a video that she clearly set up.
She was not scared to have s*x in front of that camera. That is not a rookie move on her part. That is some advanced and very confident actions.
I am sure she fully intended her sister to be the one who was shamed, and it never be traced back to her. I am quite sure she was furious when it did get pointed right back at her.
I would be quicker to take that Cheryl girl for a mate. She has Beta blood, and she has been trained. She is much more cautious and attentive to her surroundings.
She is careful and I can tell that she is prepared to fight if she needs to. I can already see that she is a good fighter, and I will test that theory out during the meeting tonight.
If it is one thing that I know, it is that Sierra is willing to fight for me. She isn’t the strongest fighter, but she isn’t the worst fighter either.
Plus, she is really much more aggressive and possessive over me, so this should be a good show. I will be kicking Sierra out of my office for the actual meeting.
I usually do for important meetings, she doesn’t need to know the inner workings of our pack.
She will be mad, and the women in the group will all be outside of the door, waiting for their mates, and fathers. We should be able to hear at least a part of the fight.
If not I will be prepared to put a stop to it in our own time. I have cameras all around the packhouse, and the seating area where people wait to come to speak with me.
I can watch it leading up to the good parts. It should go on for a little while before we hear it anyway since my office is soundproofed.
Dinner is over now and as we go to head upstairs, Sierra is all over me, to show that I am hers. She has that backward, she is mine until I decide that I don’t want her anymore.
She has been fun, but I think after I see what I need to see here in a minute, I will know what I need to.
I can tell from how Reagan keeps flipping her hair and looking back at me as they follow my dual Beta’s to the office. She is trying her best to entice me, and she is doing a great job.
I am interested, but I think that she will have to go to the pack doctor for a checkup before I try anything at all with her. She hasn’t known me an hour, and yet is willing to hop in bed with me.
The other girl has not flirted and is staying vigilant just like her father, and Alpha Graham. They are clearly the fighters of this group.
The other three seem to depend on them, and I have to say that they are right to be wary of us, I know that we are wary of them. Trust isn’t instant, and it shouldn’t be.
It should be earned, and I don’t know if I, or any of my men, could ever get to trust either of these two men. There is something about them that worries me.
But I think that they will stay calm here, not cause waves. They can’t afford to, if they get found out, or end up leaving here, they would not last for long.
The world is a hard place, and I can keep them safe here. I can protect them from harm coming to them, as long as they are Guests or members here, they will be kept safe.
I will guarantee that for them, my word is my bond. I will make sure that it is kept. We have an elevator, but we won’t all fit into it.
It is built into a wall and has wood paneling on it too, so unless you were looking for it, or it opened when you were around, you would miss it.
I can see that they didn’t like having to go up the flight of stairs to get to the second floor to go there. They keep thinking poorly of my pack.
They assume based on what they have seen of it, never knowing that they are very much incorrect. We are very high-tech here.
Just because we value our heritage and choose to build on our beloved packhouse doesn’t mean we couldn’t build a nice modern one right next to it. For right now, we are satisfied with how our home is.
Each time we remodel, the newest innovations and products get included. Our kitchen for instance.
It is very impressive, that was a long month of renovations, but it would rival any major restaurant in the world. Stainless steel products.
Several sets of double ovens on one wall, and some major cooktops. Two of them are griddles, the other two being actual gas stoves with 8 burners on top and two more stoves with them.
We have a total of around 780 members so far. Not all live in the packhouse. Some built their own cabins for their families to live in.
But our kitchen gets a lot of use, they cook all three meals, and there is always something to each, no matter what shift you get for patrol.
We also have two apartment complexes that were built about a year ago, they are further back in the woods from us. Both are four-story buildings, that look very similar to each other.
We kept it to only four stories because we want the trees to cover them. I don’t want to draw a lot of attention to my pack, and I had input that I gave to the last Alpha about that very thing.
I was his Beta at that time, but I had strong opinions of how I wanted it to be. One for couples and small families, and one for unmated wolves.
Some prefer the quiet that they get from having their own place. They are not large apartments, but they are about 1000 feet each for the unmated wolves.
With one bedroom and attached bath, a small kitchen, and a living room area. The couples have a bigger apartment with either 2 or 3 bedrooms, a bigger kitchen, and additional bathrooms.
My people are very happy here, and our pack grows each year. Having that land on either side of us, and the new injection of funds will allow me to fence our property in.
I have always wanted to do that. Alpha Cole had a great idea, and I am going to improve upon it. I will have sensors at the top of the wall. One that doesn’t alert unless 50 lbs.
or more is on it, to keep it from sounding all the time.
I am full of ideas that I want to implement for my pack, some are cheaper to do, but that fence has been a dream of mine for a long time, as well as expanding the pack.
I am willing to take in “misfits” and people that aren’t wanted by other packs. Not anyone is dangerous, but wolves that were looking for a place to live and be safe.
Most as so thankful for the protection we provide that they are glad to help us out with pack duties. They work and we provide for them all.
No matter if they work in the kitchen, housekeeping, laundry, as a warrior, or whatever spot they can. It has increased our numbers to the highest that they have ever been.
We have 780 members right now, and 786 with the new members. I hope in a year that we can increase to over a thousand.
I want to become one of the strongest packs around, and with Alpha Graham’s money, I believe that I can achieve it.
Sierra is getting madder and madder at the flirty looks that Reagan is sending and I know that she is about to say something about the video.
I grabbed her hand tighter and when she looked at me I shook my head to let her know not to say whatever it is that she is about to say. I would prefer to drop that bomb myself.
We approach the office and my Beta who was leading the group points to the small seating area and motions for the women to stay there.
Sierra gives a smug smile before entering my office, and I follow behind her.
She will not be staying here, she will be leaving but I will be introducing my men to them first, and she can stay for that.
If I boot her now, I will miss the show, and frankly, I don’t want to miss a minute of it. Sierra plops down on my lap like she is used to doing, and I am good with that too.
I allow Alpha Graham and Silas to sit down and then I clear my throat so they know that I am starting the meeting now. “Gentlemen, we welcome you to the Black Moon pack.
I want to introduce you to my men, I have two Betas and two Gammas. They all stood behind me as I introduced all my men to them, and watched as they sized them up.
“Garrett Black, first Beta, and my right-hand man, I trust him completely. if you need something you can tell him.
He can take care of anything in this pack” Garrett gives a small nod to them and stepped back, he is a wall of muscle, and at 6’3” he is a strong fighter, he is the same age as me at 22 years old.
Black hair and hazel eyes, and he is a favorite of most of the women in the pack. His true mate died in a rogue attack years ago.
He stays to himself and doesn’t date, but he if wanted to, he would have no problems at all finding a date.
“Brady Harding, my second Beta, and he conduct’s a lot of the training here, along with the head training warrior, Wesley Sanders, who is not here tonight.” With his baby face, blonde hair, and blue eyes Brady is very popular with the ladies.
At 6’2” and a talented fighter he is a little younger than us at 21 years old. Brady likes to go out and learn other forms of defense, and fighting techniques and implement them into our training.
He enjoys going into the human world and seeing what they have to offer.
I am not a huge fan of humans, they are very finicky and they tend to be very judgy about things that are different than the norm, so I just chose to avoid them.
I pause to see if they have any questions and then proceed with my last two men.
“This is my first Gamma, Marc Caldwell, if you need information on the pack, you need to go to him.” Marc is 6’3” with brown hair and light blue eyes that almost seem like they can look right through you to your soul, even at 22 years old.
He is very intelligent and listens more than he speaks. He will not be giving up a lot of information to them, and he knows who we are dealing with here as well.
He doesn’t trust them but is willing to accept them until we see if they reveal their true colors. He will not hesitate in killing any of them, to protect the pack.
He is one of my most valued advisors, and strongest fighters, I listen to him when he speaks. “Finally, we have Travis Bradford, my second Gamma and one of the fastest wolves present in the pack.
An excellent tracker and strong fighter, as they all are. I trust my men implicitly.
They all have my faith, and I will always take their recommendations.” Travis stepped forward and gives a nod to them. We are all very attached and link to each other constantly.
They know of my decisions before anyone else in the pack does. Travis is the youngest of my men, but he has a strong wolf. At 20 years old, he is already 6’4” just like me.
He is a wonder at tracking and getting up to speed on what is happening in fights and attacks. I don’t have to give him orders as he almost naturally seems to know what I am about to say.
My men then go to take their seats on either end of the couches in my office.
That is where they stay unless the s**t is about to go down, and at that point one of them, usually Garrett or Marc will stay in position if they need to take someone out.
But they will always be somewhere to the side, or behind the person who is sentenced to death. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen.
Right now they are all looking comfortable on the couches, but I know, they are ready for action in the bat of an eye. Neither of these men would be able to touch me before my men took care of them.
I had said that I trust my men as a warning to them. Even if I don’t catch them in a lie, or doing something wrong, if any of my men do, that will be it for them.
I will call the council on them myself, but until I decide to do it, they all know to leave it alone. I will not allow someone to take over or make decisions for this pack.
It would be foolish for them to do so, as it would be the last thing that they do. “This pack is up and coming, and we have an eclectic mixture of ranks and wolves here.
We happily accept nonviolent wolves into our pack. There are a lot of wolves out there that need protection, and that is what we strive to provide. I care very much for my pack and its people.
I want everyone to feel safe and secure here, at all times. I will not allow people who are a danger to others to stay in my pack. I have done background checks on you both.
I know why you are here, and I am glad to welcome you to Black Moon. Sierra, please excuse us for our meeting” I told her, and watched her frown grow at being kicked out.
Yes, she is pissed, this should be a good show. Chapter 67
Alpha Graham’s POV
The men here are very strong. I can feel the power radiating off of all of them.
I heard the warning in what Alpha Blake just said to us. He is willing to take an Alpha into his pack, and that is not something that a weak Alpha would ever do.
He and I both know that he would kill me if it came down to a fight. It would be no contest, but I do have over two decades of wisdom that I can impart to him.
I believe that I have a lot to offer him that he hasn’t realized yet. I will not offer him any of my ideas today.
I will wait and observe, and if and when I see something that can be improved on, I will do it then.
I will offer both of our services, both Silas and I as advisers, or in whatever position that he wants to give us. I can see that his girlfriend was pissed about having to leave the room.
I was OK with his men now seated behind us. Neither Silas nor I were planning on causing any trouble. We need a safe place, and this looks to be as good a place as any of them.
Especially after I get our home built. For safety, I will make it have two masters in it, so Silas and Billie can live with us.
That way neither of the women is overwhelmed with cooking, and we are with the people we trust the most. We can have better meals for ourselves away from the packhouse anyway.
I was pretty comfortably set, and I had a great deal of money with me right now. I knew I needed to get to the bank early tomorrow and have some of my funds transferred to other accounts.
I don’t want the council trying to freeze my assets, which is why I have a human bank. I knew their tricks and they couldn’t get away with it in the human banks.
Blake waited until the door was shut behind his girlfriend, and then he hit a button to lock the door. I understand I do the same thing, and I didn’t feel worried about the discussion.
I was a little worried about my wife and daughter outside the office, neither of them had trained and frankly, they were both defenseless.
I was going to have to work with them to get them to where they can at least defend themselves as soon as I can. I know that Silas and his family can help.
But for right now, it is up to me to protect them here. I can only hope that Reagan can make herself attractive to the Alpha, or ranked wolf here. She needs a strong mate, even if it is a chosen mate.
“Gentlemen, I would like to welcome you again to the Black Moon pack.
We truly are glad to have you here, and I can see that your years of service will make you both great assets to the pack” Blake started out.
He managed to both compliment us, and point out our age at the same time. I cannot stop the frown on my forehead before I clear it away.
He is very skilled with how he speaks, I do not think he is as simple as we had originally thought. “We appreciate you allowing us to be here, Alpha Blake.
As you know there were extenuating circumstances that resulted in us having to flee our pack. I am very grateful for you allowing us to stay here with you.
I do not ask for much, just what we agreed upon at the gate.
I will be glad to help you purchase the land on both sides of your pack, as well as the price on our heads that they were going to pay to the person who turns us in.
I am glad to pay you for our safety and protection. As I mentioned earlier, we don’t want to be a bother to you.
I would just like permission to build a home, in the area that you deem acceptable for us to build in. It will not be large, just a four-bedroom home for us, and our daughters to live in.
Smaller than that, if they happen to find good mates here at Black Moon” I told him. I see the small smile that tugs across his face.
He is very smug, but I saw the reaction that all five of them had when they saw Reagan. They were interested, and I was just mentioning that the girls were not averse to finding mates here.
“I am sure something can be worked out for them both Alpha Graham,” Alpha Blake said with a smirk. “It is up to them who they choose.
We are not here to cause problems, again we just want to be safe” I told him, and before I can speak again something hit the door, hard.
Alpha Blake looked away from his monitor and stood up unlocking the door, and heading to open it. The item that hit the door happened to be Sierra, who was still laying on the floor.
I looked past Blake and see Cassandra holding Reagan who was crying loudly. Cheryl was standing between Reagan and Sierra in an aggressive position.
She was the reason that Reagan is safe now, and I already know what happened without having been here to see it.
Someone is already jealous of Reagan and wanted to hurt her, or most likely try to scar her face.
Reagan is much more attractive than this Sierra girl, and it makes sense for her to try to get her out of the running.
I must admit Cheryl looks like a badass standing there waiting to see what Sierra is going to do next.
I can see that several of the men around us are impressed with her as she stands there prepared to protect Reagan again. ”Blake this girl attacked me for no reason.
You need to throw all of them out of here right now” the girl Sierra screeched out as she scrambled up from the floor. “Attacked you for no reason?
What happened Sierra?” I heard Alpha Blake ask her in a concerned voice.
“I had just exited the office, and that slut over there gave me a smile and told me that she was going to replace me, and when I walked closer to talk to her, this other girl just attacked me.
I told you that they were bad news. You already know the kind of people they are, we all do. It is best to make them go away before the council is on our doorstep” Sierra said.
s**t, she recognized us, and that was plainly a threat to us. We will have to leave now because this jealous she-wolf was absolutely going to turn us in.
“My daughter does not attack first, she watches and waits. Please ask her what happened here, Alpha Blake.
I am not calling your girlfriend untruthful, but that just doesn’t sound like my daughter” Silas said with a bowed head. He knows that we are powerless here, but I agree with what Silas said.
The only time I saw Cheryl be aggressive was over chasing Alpha Brandon.
I don’t want to be put to death for attacking one of his people, or for being made to leave when people are out there searching for us.
“What happened out here?” Alpha Blake asked, and Reagan just kept crying. She has a few marks on her, her arms are scratched up and her shirt is torn. It is clear that she had been attacked by Sierra.
There was no way that Reagan was going to be able to tell him what happened. “I can tell you, Alpha Blake. When she came out, she was angry at us for no reason.
She started telling us that she was going to have us all kicked out of the pack. She also said that she knew who we were and that she would be notifying the council where to find us.
Reagan smiled at her when she threatened us, and that set your girlfriend off. She attacked Reagan before I could stop her, and then I kicked her to get her off of Reagan.
Reagan didn’t do anything other than smile at her. Reagan is not a fighter and didn’t argue with your girlfriend, she never said anything at all to warrant an attack.
I do not know why she is so jealous of us, when we just got here, and have not flirted or messed with any of the men here” Cheryl stated in a calm tone.
I have a lot of respect for how straightforward she was in telling what happened. She also didn’t come out of her protective stance, she was still ready for Sierra to attack her or Reagan again.
She probably kept Reagan from being seriously hurt, and most likely having her face destroyed. Alpha Blake nodded at her, and I knew that he was mindlinking someone.
I was getting very worried right now. I mean we had been here a little over an hour, and the Alphas girlfriend had decided that both girls needed to leave the pack.
This is not an ideal situation for us as we just got here. Alpha Blake and Sierra have been together for over two years, she might just have his ear. I do not feel good about our odds right now.
I was getting very nervous about the lack of speaking and Sierra just kept smiling at Reagan and Cheryl in a vicious way.
I had just decided that I was going to have to beg Alpha Blake to let us leave when four warriors arrived.
It is probably too late for us, but I will beg for him to reconsider and allow us to just spend the night so we can make up plans for where to go next.
I will gladly pay him for us to be able to leave. “Alpha Blake, please, if you would just reconsider kicking us out.
I will be glad to give you the bounty on our heads if we can just spend the night here and try to make plans for where we can go for safety next.
We are not trying to cause problems in your pack, or in your relationship” I said to him with a bowed head. I am submitting to him for my family’s safety.
I will do anything for them, and I do not want us to end up in his cells. “Please escort Sierra to the cells, Garrett.
You know what to do” Alpha Blake said, and Garrett stepped out and grabbed Sierra’s arm. Garrett already knew what was going to happen. That announcement was for us and Sierra to hear.
Once she knew what was happening she started screaming out, “Why Blake? Why would you believe those sluts over me? I have been with you for over two years.
I have been by your side when you were just a warrior. Why would you betray me like this?”
“Sierra, this is the third time that I have caught you in a lie.
Plus, you know that everyone is safe here, you attacked someone who cannot fight. You were jealous and angry, you need to understand that all this was brought on by you.
I saw what happened, as it played out. This woman told the exact truth about what happened and how it played out. Her smiling at you was no reason to attack her. You have done enough damage here.
You are done. I cannot have you going over my head and attempting to call the council. That was the last straw. I may not have heard what you said, but I know how you think.
You knew I was accepting them into the pack, and yet you still wanted to get rid of them. I will not allow you to threaten fellow pack members, or try to hold something over my head.
You have made a pretty big mistake with me, and you should know better than that. Goodbye Sierra” Alpha Blake said, and I had a chill come over me. He is a man of his word.
Just the thought of her going over his head to report us caused him to send her off to the cells. She will probably be tortured before she is killed.
He values his word, but he is not going to play with anyone. He is totally OK with killing his longtime lover and didn’t blink an eye about it.
Sierra screamed while she was escorted away, it was hard to hear her pleading and crying for her life. Alpha Blake just draw a line for all of us. He is not to be trifled with.
He stepped forward and held his hand out to Chery. She shook his hand and looked up at him. She cannot read him, and honestly neither can I.
I know that Silas is standing stock still next to me and he is clearly scared for his daughter.
We do not know what he is about to say here, and we will have to wait for him to speak to know what he is about to do.
There is nothing we can do right now as he watches her, but she doesn’t back down, or look down. She stares directly into his face, and then the unexpected happens.
He reaches out and strokes her cheek where Raven’s heel cut open her face. I can see the blush hit her cheeks, and she does finally look down away from him.
He puts his hand under her chin and gently pulls her face up to look at him. “What is your name?” Alpha Blake asked her. “Cheryl Peters” she responded back.
Clearly, he has made his choice between them. I can see Reagan realizing what is happening and she is getting mad as she realizes that he is picking Chery.
She was honestly thinking that he was going to choose her over Cheryl, and to be honest, so was I.
Between them, she is the most beautiful, but Alpha Blake is looking for numerous things in what he wants from a mate. She piqued his interest and he had made his decision between them.
I have no idea what his reasoning was, but I am sure he had his own opinions that made him make that decision. I quickly linked Reagan to stop talking, as I saw her mouth open.
I know how quickly he makes a judgment, and I didn’t come here to lose my only child. She is fuming but closes her mouth.
I reminded her that the other four men are available for her to select from, and she seems to be happy with them. She keeps glancing at the youngest one, Travis, and he is watching her too.
I can only hope that she learns that she is not on top of the food chain anymore. She will have to temper her words, and actions now.
We have all seen how frightening Alpha Blake can be once he has decided there is no leeway in what is about to happen.
His word is the law here, and he is serious about his people listening to what he tells them to do.
I also remember that he mentioned that he had seen it himself, but I never saw a camera on our way from the dining room to his office.
He has to have them though for him to have known what transpired out here.
I walked over to hug Cassandra and then Reagan and spoke to them quietly, as they were both still scared by what had gone down with Sierra. The Alpha kept his word, he was going to keep us safe.
I do feel better now, it is clear to me that no one will be going over his head to report us. That had been something that I was legitimately afraid of happening ever since we got here.
“Cheryl, I would like to see if you would like to train with us tomorrow. Maybe have breakfast or lunch we me, so we can get to know each other better?
Does that sound OK to you?” Alpha Blake asked her and she blushed again before nodding in agreement with him.
Well, it would have been best for it to have been Reagan, but as long as it was one of our daughters this was still a win for us. It will solidify our becoming true pack members.
He is clearly interested, and hopefully, he will decide to choose her as his chosen mate. Reagan still had opportunities with the other four men to become a chosen mate too.
It has worked out for her mother and me, so it can work out for her too. We re-entered the office behind Alpha Blake and his three men.
Garrett has not returned and I already suspect that Sierra has already been taken care of, by this time. I saw a small sign above the hallway outside and figured that he had cameras in them.
A lot of people had cameras that were hidden, it is actually best for catching people unaware. He knew there was going to be a problem, and he was watching his monitor while we spoke.
I assumed he was reading emails or something when he glanced away, but he was actually watching the drama unfold outside the door.
He knew Sierra, he knew she was going to pull something and was waiting for it. I am glad that he knew, and watched, so we could stop the fight.
He protected our daughters as well, as he gave Sierra her last chance. She messed up, it was not on us at all.
We finished the meeting with him telling me that he would take Silas and me out to look at potential places to build, and I appreciate him taking the time to do that.
He seemed very easygoing with us, and towards the end of the meeting, he asked me if I knew what the bounty on our heads was. I assumed it was big, but I had no idea how much it was going to be.
Cole and Brandon were both after us. The council wanted us to be caught as soon as possible. We had killed two members of the Blue Moon pack, so I am sure they contributed to it as well.
I was thinking that it was at least half a million dollars on our heads. I didn’t have that much in cash. But I was going to go by the bank tomorrow, and we could do a wire transfer into his account.
I was going to give him $100,000 cash as a downpayment for it. “How much is it?” I asked him bracing for the bad news. I already had the downpayment separated. Two $50,000 bundles of hundreds.
Five bands of hundreds in each bundle. It was a good-faith move on my part to show him that I was absolutely serious about what I told him that I would do.
“They have a total of $400,000 on your heads. You and Reagan both have $100,000 on each of you, as they wanted you two the most. $50,000 for each of the rest of your group.
I am assuming that you are going to go to the bank with me tomorrow. I would like to move forward as quickly as I can on the land and get what I need to do with those funds” Alpha Blake said to me.
“I have $100,000 now so you know that I am serious about this, and I will transfer the money for the land and the other $300,000 tomorrow at the bank.
We can get it taken care of first thing in the morning if you would like Alpha Blake” I told him and he nodded in agreement. This wasn’t a bad idea, Silas did a great job.
I am much less worried now than I was this morning. This could totally work out for us in the end. Chapter 68
Raven’s POV
We have been back at Black Adder for a month now.
It has been actually pretty calm here after the first few days back. The girls swarmed the second Brandon was back. It was pretty stressful, but he was a man of his word.
He had a town hall the day that we arrived and straighten everyone out.
He also spoke to all of Cheryl’s former friends and it didn’t take him very much time to figure out who had told Cheryl we were leaving the pack.
Ivy Phillips, who still had the text messages, and her call history in her phone showed that she was indeed the leak.
Brandon wanted to make an example of her, and she was killed for putting her Luna in danger. It was at his discretion, and that is what he chose to do.
Brandon also introduced Justin to his pack as the new Delta. He was getting some interest, and a few of the she-wolves recognized him from the video.
They were very interested in getting to know him, and Brandon shut them down quickly. He made the announcement about me having two mates, and the pack went haywire.
Jealous unmated males that had been interested in me, and she-wolves that liked both Brandon and Justin were complaining about my having two mates.
Brandon let them settle and then told them that if they had watched the response video from the original video that my sister had done, they would have already known about this.
Clearly, the p**n was shared and viewed many more times than the response video was, but I had asked my dad at the Blood Walker pack, and Brandon had asked his own dad, as well as Truett’s dad to make sure the response video was mentioned it in the town hall at Black Adder while we were gone.
I know for a fact that they were told, Brandon’s dad told us that through the link when he was done with the town hall. We forwarded it to him to share with the pack.
But Reagan’s video was at more than double our views.
Some of that was due to it being shared by humans, but also because it was clearly the video that most people wanted to see, with not much talking and attractive people having s*x.
Our video was to clarify, and would never make it out to the human world, it was not for them.
The first week was tougher, but after Brandon kicked out the fourth she-wolf for coming onto him, or Justin, it stopped.
I was glad because now that we were spending all this time together, our bond was very strong. They both were wonderful and supportive. They were both proud of the baby being a boy.
It was almost like he belonged to them both, as they were both acting like proud papas. The baby was healthy and growing very well. He was strong, and I was stronger for being pregnant with him.
Justin’s room was now complete, and he was excited about getting his own space. Things had been going very well, and I could not be happier with both men.
Most of the problems had been cleared up by the Goddess herself. My parents were happier with Justin since I told them what had actually happened.
Dad is still furiously trying to locate where Graham and Reagan went, but with no success so far. Whoever is hiding them, is staying low, and keeping quiet about it.
I guess he found a pack that was willing to take them all in, or they were dead, but I know we couldn’t get that lucky. If they were dead, the Goddess would have told us.
She knows how anxious I am about this war and my baby’s participation in it. I am horrified that from birth, they would have less time to play and be children, than their friends.
Their little shoulders have to bear such a great weight on them. That was the saddest part about this. I feel like I had already failed them as a mom, and they aren’t even here yet.
I already love this little guy, and I cannot wait to hold him in my arms. I wonder what he is going to look like. I hope he looks just like his handsome father.
I am just over two months and we are at the pack doctor to get my check-up. “OK, Raven, you need to start coming in every two weeks for the next two months.
The baby will probably be here around the four-and-a-half-month mark. He is growing very well, and everything looks great.
At four months you will come in weekly until the pup decides that he wants to arrive.
I am very excited to meet him myself, this will be our new Alpha, and the whole pack is excited” my doctor told me.
Brandon had the female doctor on staff become my doctor after both he and Justin couldn’t contain themselves seeing the other doctor trying to do my exam.
They are very possessive, and I am never alone. I am with one, or the other, or both of them. The unmated males that originally thought that they had a chance, now knew better.
Some of them still thought it was me in the video, and kept trying to flirt. But they quickly learned that it wasn’t me in that disgusting video. And secondly, I had not one, but two strong mates.
They quickly decided to keep looking for their own mates. Brandon was excited that it was his night to get to sleep with just us two, and I can see him making every effort to make our night special.
I guess not having me to himself is making him appreciate me a lot more.
He was so happy at just the thought of us sleeping together like we used to, I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I was ready to have s*x with him again.
It had been over a month since we had, and I missed him very much. I missed his touch, and how he made me feel. I knew if I did tell him that he would not be able to focus today on his work.
But the staff had told me that he had ordered a dinner cart for us, for us to eat in our room, and that he had ordered candles too. He had them make my favorite meal, and that meant a lot to me too.
He had no idea that I was going to be willing to forgive him tonight, and move forward. He was just doing this because he missed it being just us. His pain at having to share me was still there.
I know that he was doing his best, and they both were, but it was hard. They were jealous of the other, even though I was not sleeping with either of them.
They were very competitive with training too. I can still see a little fan club still remaining for them both, but the she-wolves all know to keep their hands to themselves.
With four of their “club members” already gone and kicked out of the pack in banishment.
The rest of the she-wolves should know by now, that it is the best way to get themselves thrown out of the pack, by touching either one of them.
I also know that I needed to be fair to them both and that tomorrow night I would be sleeping with Justin, but I don’t know if his luck will be as good as Brandon’s will be tonight.
I will have to see how things go. It has to be natural, and I will not be rushed or forced into forgiveness.
I know the Goddess herself was encouraging me to move forward, by taking my pain away, but I still am working through it.
I know she took his choice away with Reagan’s actions, just like she did mine, but it still hurts me what happened. I also know that the hurt that I feel is because I love him.
I do love him, and I want to be with him too. The bond is helping me to get past it, and I have no idea what is in store for Justin and me.
I will play it by ear, and if and when the time comes, I know he will be happy too. Justin is content with waiting.
He is pretty happy these days, we are together for all our meals, and he is with me most of the day. He is making friends here, but thankfully they are mostly males.
Stella and Lanie are happier with him too, now that they know the truth.
He knows that some of the girls here are still eyeballing him, but he avoids them, they have been slow to approach as they don’t want to be banished.
Brandon will not allow Justin to be put in a bad position either. They both know how possessive I am about both of them.
I told Stella and Lanie while we were training that Brandon had a special meal made for us tonight.
Stella froze and straightened up to look at me suspiciously and said, “Wait, is tonight THE night?”
“Yes, I believe so,” I told her, and she starts to clap and rushed up to hug me. “I am so glad.
I don’t know how you held out this long. You, my friend, are the most stubborn person that I know” Lanie said as she came up to hug me too. We are all three pregnant.
Lanie got pregnant in her second heat, and is about 3 weeks behind us, at a little over one month. We are all excited.
I worried for their children too, but Stella said we will get them trained, that it will be fine. Most packs don’t even know about the upcoming war, but we do and can use the time to prepare for it.
Stella is positive that we will win because we are the good guys. I have to point out that it isn’t always the case, it is usually the most prepared, or the best funded.
We all finish with our training and go to head back to the packhouse when I realized that Justin is further back from us than normal.
He is normally right by my side to be able to protect me at all times.
I realized that he had heard what I said, and even though it was not intentional, I am sure it hurt him, knowing that I will be sleeping with Brandon tonight.
I will need to speak to him, as I really never meant to hurt him, I just forgot he was there.
He always gives us space for us to train and talk and does not interrupt us unless we need some instruction on what we are training on. I slowed down to let him catch up and sent them on without me.
“Justin, can I speak to you please?” I asked him. He smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes and nodded. We headed to the patio area behind the packhouse, and we lucked out, we were alone.
We sat in silence for a little while before I finally said, “Justin, I am sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you with what you overheard. I am working on forgiveness for you both, not just Brandon.
He doesn’t even know that I am going to be with him tonight. I was going to tell you. I knew you would know anyway.
As we are mated together, I am sure that Brandon will feel it when we are together too. I love you, and I am looking forward to spending our first night together in our new room tomorrow.
If you want to plan something special for us, that would be nice, but not necessary. Although it may help give you something to focus on tonight. I never wanted to intentionally hurt you.
I hope the Goddess will take care of any pain that you might feel, for you both. I don’t want either of you to suffer.”
Justin stood up and pulled me up from my chair.
He gave me a tight hug and after a little while he said, “I know you know what it feels like, Angel. I am sorry that I cannot control my emotions and my jealousy.
I will wait until you want to be with me. I love you, and I know that you wouldn’t deliberately hurt me. I do understand, and I will absolutely make plans for us both for tomorrow.
I want us to have a special first night alone together. I know on my night, Brandon will be upset and jealous too. It won’t matter if you aren’t ready to complete our mating with me or not.
I can wait, as long as I can hold you in my arms all night, I am good.”
Justin is going to make me cry.
I can feel he is being totally honest with me, and I have been particularly hard on him, especially at first.
He had to put up with a lot from me, as his actions had caused me the greatest amount of pain. I acted out in anger because of how much he had hurt me.
I am almost completely healed from where I had been, and now I wanted to move forward with my life, correction, with our life together. With my mates, and our pups.
I was so excited about the direction that my life was now going. Justin was still hugging me when we both felt it. The baby was kicking, and moving around and I was so excited.
The baby was happy, and Justin’s face when he felt it was surprised and happy. He considers the pup to be “ours”, just like when we have a pup together Brandon will consider it to be his too.
Justin let me go and got on his knees in front of me to put his hands on either side of my still fairly small stomach. The next kick is even stronger, and I see my stomach move with the force of it.
We are both looking down in amazement at my stomach when Brandon walked up to see what was going on. Justin moved one of his hands from my stomach so Brandon could touch it as well.
As soon as his hand touched my stomach, the baby must have known that his dad was there. The baby let out a really hard kick, and I gave a laughing sob at how happy I am right now.
We are all a little teared up, as this is the first time that he has made his presence known to us. The doctor had told us it was coming soon, and she was right.
He is right on time, my precious baby boy. We stayed there for a little while, and I gave Justin a little kiss goodnight.
I still felt a little guilty, and I linked Stella so she would have him eat with them. Most nights we eat together, but occasionally we will need some special time alone.
I will make sure that whoever is by himself that night, will have company. Brandon told me to go up and grab a shower and he would be up soon.
I had just gotten done and was drying off when he came in to run to grab his shower too. I wasn’t into getting dressed up fancy tonight. I was just going to stay in my robe.
I probably wouldn’t be needing it soon anyway. I have missed my time with Brandon, we had been having s*x quite a bit before the incident. Daily, and sometimes multiple times in a day.
I know that this has been very hard on him as well, and I know that I will feel even better when we are back to how it used to be between us.
I heard the knock on the door and went to go get our meal from the lead Omega. She was very kind and very sweet about me coming into her kitchen to bake for the last two weeks.
I think she appreciated the help with desserts, just like they did at Blood Walker. Next time my parents come, I will make sure to bake extra for them to take home with them.
I thanked her, and she nodded and left. I left the pates covered and they smelled fantastic. I have been lucky so far, only bad smells, like passing the trash, had made me feel sick.
I have had a fairly uneventful pregnancy. I have to assume that is the Goddess going easy on me in that aspect.
She saved me and my pup, Justin did too, and for that alone, I will be forever grateful to them both. Brandon came out and he is in a pair of basketball shorts.
His deep v-cut is on proud display, but he has been sleeping in them since we got back. Yes, the view was really nice, but I had managed to control myself.
He has been taking a lot of showers these days. He still didn’t know that tonight was the night and I smiled thinking of how excited he was going to be once he found out.
I had spoken to the doctor and she said that I am good to have s*x, just not overly aggressive s*x.
I was happy to hear I had the go-ahead for it, as I don’t want to do anything that is going to hurt my baby. Brandon came up and lit the candles for us and took the domes off the plates.
I love Italian food, and he knew that so I am looking at two of my favorites, lasagna, and Spaghetti and meatballs. His plate is clearly larger than mine, but my mouth is watering at the meal.
The bread was wrapped in a large cloth napkin, and they had done French bread brushed with garlic butter, and cheese on top.
I immediately started to eat and Brandon laughed at how excited I was at the meal. It was excellent, and I was so full.
Brandon asked what movie I would like, and we went through the selection on the screen before we found one we both liked. Each night I got pampered, by both Brandon, and Justin.
They both did their best to keep me comfortable, and happy. I would get leg massages or back rubs, but I loved the foot massage the most.
They knew the pressure points on my feet and sometimes the sounds I made from the foot rub, had whoever was doing it, have to head to take a shower afterward.
They both took such good care of me, it was just a matter of time before I had to forgive them both. They have had a hard time of this too, all thanks to my sister Reagan.
Brandon grabbed some lotion and massaged my feet while we watched the movie, and the night was perfect. He even put some socks on me so I wouldn’t slip when I got up to go to the bathroom.
He had thought of everything, and it was a lovely night. I couldn’t wait to fall asleep in his arms, but we have some unfinished business to do first.
