Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter - Chapter 48: Chapter 74

Cheryl’s POV
We have been here for three months now. I was surprised by the quick turn of events after we arrived here at Black Moon.
I assumed that Reagan would be the one that Blake would choose. She was more attractive than I was, but I found out why about a week into our stay here.
It was kind of funny, as she was getting mad that she could not get any of the guys to want to take her as a chosen mate.
Just looking at it from a logical standpoint, she was the daughter of an Alpha, and very attractive. It stood to measure that she would provide strong, attractive pups to whoever she ended up with.
They knew as soon as they saw her, who she was, they also knew she was the one in the video. None of the ranked wolves wanted her because of it.
She was stunned the night that I protected her from Sierra, that Blake would be wanting to take me as his mate.
She was quiet about it for a week, and then she blew up at lunch in the dining room at me.
Thankfully most of the room was empty, I have no idea why she would do it in an open forum like that but it didn’t make me look bad. It made her look bad.
It was the afternoon of my and Blake’s first date. The first week had been busy. With them going to sort out the transfer of money to keep us here at Black Moon that first day after we arrived.
The second day they went out and Alpha Graham negotiated a deal to get the properties on not just both sides, but an additional 20 acres that were behind the pack as well, all for the same listed price on the contract.
Blake appreciated that, very much. Alpha Graham was just glad for us to have a safe space here. Blake had mentioned his intentions toward me after the fight outside his office.
But it wasn’t until the third day after I first trained with him and his men, that he mentioned when he wanted to take me out on a date. I was happy to agree, and Reagan was mad about it, again.
We had all gone out together, the 6 of our group, and Blake and his men, to look at locations for the new house that Alpha Graham wanted to build.
The third location turned out to be the one they wanted, and Alpha Graham and Luna Cassandra went out the next day to give their vision for it to the architect to design for them.
The back of the house would face a valley, and the forest, and you will be able to see the sunset every night.
They wanted to take advantage of that and the back of the home will have glass across the whole back wall of the main living area.
Blake had to deal with a few other things, and then get caught up on paperwork the next two days.
When he reminded me the night before that he would take me out at 7 pm, for our date, I saw the way Reagan’s lips pursed. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t. Not until the day of the date.
She was wearing her typical outfit of a pair of skintight leggings and a cropped shirt when she started the argument in the dining room.
I remember it like it was yesterday, as it was the first time that something worked out for me. “Why? Why is he even looking at you? When he could have me?” Reagan said to me as soon as we sat down.
“Excuse me? After I protected you, that is how you are going to treat me?” I asked her. I mean I know she is petty, but she should have been thanking me.
If Sierra had gotten to her, she would never have been pretty again. “Yes, and I appreciate it, but seriously. I am way hotter than you.
I just don’t understand why none of the guys have flirted back, or asked me out. But you are going out with Blake. It is just not right. I am sorry to offend you, but it isn’t” Reagan said.
Like the “sorry to offend” was going to take the sting out of it. “That was his decision. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t flattered and happy about it.
But that is his decision to make, not mine or yours. You need to stop, it isn’t any of your business” I told her and I can almost see steam coming off of her.
“b***h, I will so ruin your parent’s chance at living in my parent’s house, if you don’t stop with your bad attitude” Reagan fired back.
“You petty b***h, you are going to threaten my parents because you are mad he is taking me out, and not you? Seriously? We are all in this together.
Everyone else is working for that very purpose, and you pull this. Do you really think that someone can make Blake do anything?
Do you think that he will be so mad that I am not going to go out with him that he asks you out? You are really delusional, Reagan. He could have already asked you out if he wanted to.
I honestly don’t think he wants to. He wants to raise strong pups, yes, you may be an Alpha rank, but you are not a traditional Alpha child. You don’t train, you don’t care about anyone but yourself.
How are you going to take care of this pack?” I asked her in all seriousness. “My mom can show me, she would help me. You need to back off, and let Blake think before he acts. I can do this.
I was born to be a Luna. I was supposed to be the Luna for Silver Blade” Reagan told me with a huff. “Yea, supposed to be, but not anymore. You should be ashamed of yourself.
You can’t control everything. Don’t forget I know just how low and double-crossing that you can be. I know that you planned on letting Brandon “comfort” you after releasing that video.
You told me that you were just going to pick another chosen to become the Alpha of Silver Blade. I was supposed to get Brandon. That was the plan. I helped you every step of the way.
You cannot be trusted. You need to stop, your actions cost us everything. You kept pushing and doing, more and more, making new plans and never leaving her alone. We are in this because of YOU.
You can’t twist this for me, I know, I was right there with you. I heard what you told your dad. Brandon was supposed to be mine. I was after him for almost 3 years of my life.
You were just going to try to swoop in there and take him. I swear Reagan, you cannot be believed, what nerve you have. It is absolutely astounding,” I told her.
I see her mouth open to respond but heard Blake say, “I agree. She really has been a busy girl. I have heard a lot about her and seen a lot of what she has done.
Quite an impressive legacy she is leaving behind her. I know that we have seen her latest body of work, several times. We also saw the rebuttal video too, showing that it was you, and not your sister.
That must have been really embarrassing on your part, for the whole werewolf community to know what lengths you will go to, to get what you want.
Stole your sister’s mate, and then tried to get her second chance mate too. That is pretty high-level spite there. I wonder why you hate her so much?
Why you are causing Cheryl grief when I asked her out? Like she said she can’t control it, yet you tried to force her to reject going out with me. Threatening her parent’s part, was the best for me.
There indeed was a reason I asked her out, and not you. I do not want a p**n star for a Luna, that is first off. We all know it was you, and not your sister you were trying to put the blame on.
Don’t argue, we can see the mole right now on your side. Secondly, you are not trained and have no real interest in anyone but yourself.
You would not be a good mother for the pack, or for a pup, and you are just not a good leader. Despite your “born to be Luna” mentality.
The bottom line is I think a lot of people could have you and probably have had you. But Cheryl was selective, I am selective too. She is a warrior and will provide me with strong pups.
She is loyal and trustworthy, she is attractive, and she is my choice. I do not want to hear you threaten her again.
It will not go well for you” Blake said and gave a hard look at Reagan, and he and his men walked past us and went to their table.
I can see the smirk on Garrett and Marc’s faces, they were trying not to laugh.
I can see Travis’ wistful look, he does want her, but as the youngest of the crew, he is scared of the fallout and teasing he will get if he chooses to pick her to date.
The stunned look on Reagan’s face was priceless. She thought that they had left out of here earlier, I did too actually, I have no idea that they were in here.
Reagan’s face turned red, and she hurried out of the dining room. I can see her parents entering to eat, followed by mine, and they came to sit with me at the table.
I didn’t want to get in the middle of the drama, I prefer to stay out of it, especially when Reagan was involved in it.
But they knew it was big, and so I had to relay that she got upset because she confronted me about going out with Blake tonight, and that he took up for me.
Dad and Alpha Graham knew it was more than that so they sent their mates to go grab them more to drink and made me spill what happened.
When I told them that they were all fully aware of the video, and it being Reagan in it, I could see Alpha Graham look shocked.
I told them that they had seen the rebuttal video too, and all that had happened before we had even arrived.
I knew that they had planned on trying to become ranked here too, they thought this pack was simple. But they learned as soon as we got to our new rooms, that this place was anything but simple.
Full wi-fi, and stunning rooms. I know that my mom, Reagan, and Luna Cassandra were the happiest to see it.
Care and taste had been used with the choices for the features in the rooms, and Luna Cassandra had even told Alpha Graham, that she was good with staying here, in the packhouse.
If he hadn’t already mentioned wanting to build his own home already, he may have done it. But I think that their opinion was that they would be safest in their own space, out of the packhouse.
I think so too. Things went well on our date that night, and he wanted me to explain to him who Brandon was, and what I had said to Reagan.
I told him, not the full version of what all I had done at Black Adder, but enough. He seemed a little jealous of my chasing Brandon for so long.
He was attentive and gorgeous, and I caught feelings fast. After a month of going out, he asked me about becoming his chosen mate. That made me even happier, and I quickly accepted.
Right at the 2-month mark of our being there, we had my Luna ceremony. My mom and Luna Cassandra helped me plan it My parents were proud, and so were Graham and Cassandra.
Reagan wasn’t, but there was nothing that she could do about it. Our first night together was perfect, and as I was waiting for Brandon to accept me as his, Blake was my first.
He was very pleased about it, and even more jealous of Brandon at the time. Now, at the three-month mark, I am almost a month pregnant with our first pup.
Blake and I could not be more proud of starting our own little family.
Cassandra has helped me learn some Luna duties, and Blake was happy to give me some of his additional duties to help him get the work done so we could have extra time together.
I noticed that Reagan has been spending less and less time with us, and is out a lot of the time. Secretive, so I am sure she is dating someone. I think it is Travis, but I don’t honestly know.
She is leaving Blake alone, but after he shot her down so hard, she really didn’t have any other choice in the matter. She can stay away all the time for all I care.
I was really concerned at first about the council knowing that I was here, as you had to note any changes to the Alpha couple, and ranked wolves to the council.
Blake sent them my middle name and his last name.
He doesn’t allow them to come here and if they ever did, he would hide us, as they wouldn’t be allowed in the packland unless he authorized them to enter. They leave him and his pack alone.
We are considered a lesser pack because we are so small. They have no idea that now our land has now tripled in size, and they won’t have a clue about it.
He will not be informing them of it, they can find out later. He does not care that they want to run things. He has not mentioned the reason he hates the council so much.
I am sure that he has his own reasons. I could not be happier than I am right now. I love Blake, and he said he loves me, so we are taking this slow. We have all the time in the world.
I appreciate him, and he is so happy about the baby. He touches my stomach all the time, and he is proud to tell anyone that will listen that I am carrying his baby.
It is funny because as soon as the doctor confirmed our being pregnant, he held a meeting that night. He announced it to our whole pack, so they all know, which makes it all the cuter to me.
He is very proud of our pup. I hope our baby goes on to do great things. I know that for the first pup, Blake wanted a boy, but right now we do not know what we are having.
I told him that we can try again, and again, for a son if he wants. I hope we do have a son, and that he looks just like Blake.
I had just got to bed and was wondering where Blake was, he is usually here by now. I pulled the covers back and tried to sleep without him, but I felt a pain in my abdomen.
It was pretty sharp, and I was worried about miscarrying the baby. I managed to make it down to the elevator, to go down to his office, but when I got there, I figured out what the problem was.
I could slightly hear sounds that I hope were not from him, but I know they were. I stepped back, out of camera coverage so he wouldn’t know I was here outside his door. He marked me, I marked him.
He should know that with being marked you can feel it, I can feel what he is doing. My heart is breaking, and this is the first time that I have felt this type of pain.
I cannot stand anymore and I slide down the wall, to the floor. I can only hope that this pain can pass quickly, as I do not know if it will cause the baby problems. I am sickened by this.
We have been together for two months, and he made me his chosen. Why would he do this to me? He was so happy and proud to call me his mate.
I am angry and hurt, I would like nothing more than to just run away from here. To leave the entire state and go live in a human city somewhere else, and I swear I might just do that.
I want some answers, but I wanted him to comfort me but didn’t want him to touch me. If I didn’t love him, I would never have accepted him.
He chased me, he wanted me, and said that he loved me, why would he do this? Did he think I would not feel it because we are not true mates?
I waited another 5 minutes before I heard the door open, and Blake stepped out straightening his shirt up.
I looked to see who was with him and was not surprised to see Reagan wearing another slutty outfit. “Why?” I asked and I saw him stiffen up.
“Why what?” Blake said to me, “You cheated on me, so fair is fair.”
“Are you serious now? With whom? Who did I sleep with? Did you feel the horrible pain of your mate cheating on you?
Because I just did, and I couldn’t even stand here at the end of it Blake. What if something happens to our pup? Why her?
You couldn’t stand her, why in the Goddess’s name would you sleep with her of all people?” I asked him. “She had pictures of you doing it, Cheryl. I saw them.
She showed me tonight, you sleeping with a warrior. Is that even my pup you are carrying?” Blake roared at me.
He is furious, and I slowly stood and said, “Show me the photos.”
Blake motioned to Reagan to show me, and I could see she didn’t want to.
She opened her phone and I could see right off the bat, that it was her, and not me. Our haircut and color are different. Her is lighter than mine, but mine is longer.
“Blake look at the picture again,” I said. “I don’t want to. I gave you everything to make you mine, and you betrayed me” Blake said, and thankfully Garrett and Marc showed up.
“Please show Garrett and Marc, if you won’t listen to me, but that is not me, it is Reagan. She lied to you, and you just cheated on me, to sleep with this slut. What if I miscarry our baby from this?
Did you even think of that?” I asked him and went to sit down in a chair in the seating area outside his office.
I watched as they looked at the pictures, and then at her hair, and I turned to show them mine. Now that Blake was calmer, he could see the difference.
I watched him walk toward me, but I do not want his comfort now. He did this because he was mad. He let her trick him, and now what if she is pregnant with his baby too from it?
She would do that, she could be pregnant from the warrior right now, and try to trick Blake. He reached out to stop me by holding my arm. “Wait, Cheryl, I am sorry.
I thought it was you in the picture. She said it was you” Blake said, and I shook his hand off and said, “She lies, Blake, she cannot be trusted. Why would you believe anything she said?
You know about her, you picked me because you could trust me. But I cannot trust you anymore.
I am disgusted to know that you would do that to me.” I cannot hold the tears in and started crying, with large tears running down my face.
I see her smirk at me, and before I could stop myself I punched her in the face, hard. I know I broke her nose. Smirk that off b***h.
I walked away and stopped the first Omega I saw and asked about a free room. I cannot sleep next to him tonight. I refuse to do it. “No, you will come with me, Cheryl.
We need to talk” Blake said, grabbing my upper arm and walking me to the elevator. I tried to get free again, but his hold was tight on my arm.
I am disgusted with the hands that he used to touch her, touching me now. I feel dirty. But if he thinks that I will forgive him, he is wrong, I just can’t right now.
He takes me into our room, and tells me, “Stay here” before going into the bathroom to take a shower.
I would have left but, I am quite sure if I opened the door, there will have been someone in the hallway to report my trying to leave. I am not going to leave, well not tonight.
I went and grabbed a pillow and an extra blanket and went to the couch in our living room. I will not lay next to him, knowing what he did to me.
I turned the light off in the living room and left the light in the bedroom on. I settled down, but my mind was racing. There was no way that I will be able to sleep tonight. My trust in him is gone.
The happiness that I was so thankful for, completely destroyed because of a jealous b***h. I hate her so much. She just cannot let anyone be happy.
If she wants him so much, she can have him, because I am done here. I am going to leave, my dad and mom can come with me if they want to, but I will not stay here anymore.
I see the panic that Blake had when he came out of the bathroom and didn’t find me in the bedroom. He was in the shower for a long time, over ten minutes, but what happened cannot just be washed away.
I saw him rush into the living room, and calm a little when he saw me lying on the couch. I see his jaw tighten up, and I braced for him to yell at me. I just turned my back on him.
He picked me up, grabbed my pillow, and took me back into our room. He laid me gently on the bed and held my hand as he sat next to me and said, “I am sorry, Cheryl. I am.
It seemed like you had cheated on me. I was angry, and when she said that she would sleep with me to get you back, I thought you deserved it. I should have known that she could not be trusted.
I made a mistake, please forgive me.” He glided his hand across my stomach feeling my tiny baby bump. He is trying to guilt me into forgiving him. “You never answered me.
Did you feel the pain of my cheating on you?” I asked him quietly. He closed his eyes like he was in pain. I am sure he has never felt them.
He is handsome and women go crazy over him, only a fool would cheat on him. “I do not. I was pissed off, and then she took her clothes off.
I didn’t want to sleep with her, but I wanted you to be just as hurt as I was. I know you and her do not get along anymore. So I did it, but I am so sorry baby.
I do not find her attractive at all” Blake said, and he is angry. Really angry at being tricked by Reagan. He leaned down to give me a kiss, but I don’t know where his lips have been.
I do not want to kiss him and turned my head away so he kissed my cheek. He growls lowly at me for the disrespect. “I did not kiss her,” He told me angrily. “Did your lips touch any part of her?
If they did, I don’t want them on me” I told him. “No, I didn’t have my lips on her. She sucked my d**k, and then I finished on her, I pulled out before I came. I didn’t want her to have my pup.
Only you are qualified to carry my pup” Blake said and he seems angry at my attitude. “She can get pregnant even if you didn’t finish inside her, Blake. I got pregnant quickly, you are an Alpha.
Reagan was super pissed at not being your chosen. I know you got yourself tricked, but Goddess, Blake. Can you not see my side of this?
You should be able to, you slept with her, at just the thought of me cheating on you. We are marked, I felt it. I was scared and thought that I was miscarrying our baby.
I go to find you, when you should have been with me, only to find that you are in your office having s*x. You have hurt me, very badly. I just want to go to sleep, please” I said to him.
I am hurt and frustrated. I have to make plans because I no longer want to be here with him. Especially if he thinks that hurting me was a good option.
It shouldn’t have been, that is petty and childish behavior. I turned my back to him when he got in bed, but I didn’t fight him when he pulled me back into him. I didn’t want him to touch me.
I am hurt, and I wish I could say that I didn’t cry, but I did, he spoke soothing words to me, that made it worse. So much worse. I know that my crying was not lost on him.
I know that it won’t be easy to get out of here, but I will. I stayed up half the night before I let exhaustion take over and relaxed my body enough to finally fall asleep. But it wasn’t all in vain.
I know how I will find my freedom. With, or without my parents. I will be leaving here soon. Chapter 75
Reagan’s POV
It took a while to get it done, but I managed to do it.
Seeing how hurt Cheryl was made it all worthwhile. I was glad because he can’t take it back now anyway. I managed to slide in there into the office with him.
Now that his foot slipped, and it is out in the open, it should be easier the next time. She is not better than me in any way, and this should prove it to her.
I got her mate to sleep with me, and Goddess willing if I didn’t get pregnant this time, I will the next time. I will keep after him until I have his child too.
I will not allow myself to become a second-class citizen here, all because of that stupid video. I mean the whole reason I changed my look was to put the blame at Raven’s feet, not mine.
I saw Blake was mad when he realized that I was not telling him the truth. I sent up a prayer that he would just have me taken to the cells until he was able to calm down.
I know dad would get me out of it, but Blake could be pretty scary. I am quite sure that I am going to be punished, but hopefully, I can talk my way out of it.
I mean if he fell for that picture as proof, then he wasn’t as smart as he thought he was, was he? My hair and Cheryl’s hair looked nothing alike.
I have been trying and trying to lure him, and it has not worked for me this whole time.
I needed to take matters into my own hands, and he ignored everything that I had said to him until I mentioned that Cheryl had cheated on him.
That had stopped him cold and gave me the time I needed when I told him that I even had proof. He was crushed and angry, and I was glad that I was there to lead him where I wanted him to go.
The only part that I didn’t, or couldn’t, control, was her being outside the office when we came out. I was hoping that I could have Blake a couple more times to get a baby from him.
That way I will still have some clout in the pack, even if Cheryl is the Luna. But no, she was there, to confront me, and ruin everything. My only hope is that he got me pregnant.
Cheryl is pissed, and if dad finds out what happened he will be too. I know we have to stay here, but why did she get the Alpha?
We, both dad and I, were sure he was going to pick me, out of the two of us, I was the logical choice. Dad was sure of it from how they acted when I first exited the SUV the night we got here.
Turns out, it was because they had all seen the video of me and Justin, and had all been stunned to see me in person.
Travis was interested in me, and we had gotten pretty close to having s*x, but he left me hanging each time. He cares more about the opinions of the ranked wolves he works with than me.
I had to do something. None of them were gonna touch me unless I could get with one of them. Garrett and Marc can’t even stand to look at me so Brady and Travis were my only hope.
I have just been sleeping with a few of the best-unmated warriors that I can find. I had to do something, it is boring not being able to leave the pack.
No more shopping in stores for anything, I can only shop online. It is ridiculous, plus he won’t let strangers onto our packland, unless they are wanting to join the pack.
I mean, this place is boring. Sure I have Wi-Fi and all the movie channels, but I like to go out, see, and be seen. This place is driving me crazy.
I miss getting to go out and getting to do what I want. I thought I had dodged the punishment, but an hour later my two biggest fans showed up and Garrett told dad to send me out of the suite.
I knew that face. Dad is pissed, and he knew I did something, but I didn’t have time to tell him. They escorted me down to the cells, and Marc gave me a hard push into the cell.
“Why am I being punished? Your Alpha decided to sleep with me. I cannot force him to do anything, he is over twice my size” I told them. “You are a disgusting she-wolf.
I know that you did something to him because he absolutely cannot stand you. You disgust him too, and he would never choose you voluntarily. I heard the rumors, and so let me tell you this, Reagan.
If you think that I won’t tell him in the morning, exactly what you did, think again. We all watched both videos, not just the one you made to try to defame your sister.
I know you did something to him, and when it is out of his system, we will decide on your punishment. Tonight, sleeping in this cell is not the punishment.
I will tell you right now, that he will deal with you. He does love Cheryl, and if you hurt her, you need to be prepared for the punishment that is coming from the fallout.
You need to remember you are no longer in Silver Blade. You are at Black Moon now, and I will take care of you, the same way I took care of Sienna if needed.
I stumbled back away from Garrett and shuddered. He was serious, and from the way he was looking at me right now, I could see it in his eyes.
He wanted to kill me, all it would take is Blake to tell him to go ahead and do it. He was right. I had totally forgotten about her, and what happened the first night I was here.
Cheryl had stopped her, and my stomach is sinking realizing that dad may have to sit this one out. He might not be able to defend me in this, and that was a first.
Dad always got me out of stuff, either with his power, or his money. I am not liking my odds on this right now. s**t, I got angry and acted in haste.
I should have left it alone, and just accepted what I could get from the warriors until I could get a ranked wolf. Plus he was right, I had caught Blake in the dining room and got him a second drink.
I knew in 15 minutes he would think differently about me.
I brought the pills with me, because it was evidence, and I didn’t want to just hand everything to the council to find when they searched my room.
Plus, you never know when you need to take control of a situation. So Garrett was right, I had slipped him something, and the odds of me being punished in the morning grew substantially.
I felt sick, and about an hour later I had a visitor. “What do you want, dad?” I asked him. He might be so pissed at me that he refuses to help me out now.
Plus, I did it to one of the only people that per him, “Could be trusted to help us if things go south. Do not do anything to the Peters family, Reagan. They are in it with us.
Do not do anything that will put any of us at risk.” The memory of his words slamming into me right now. I didn’t just mess myself up, I messed up his and mom’s relationship with them.
It really is a complete mess now. “What did you do?” my dad asked quietly. He knew that a guard would be close-by.
“Dad, I was mad that he chose Cheryl, and I might have put something in his drink to get him to be with me,” I told him, downplaying the fact that Cheryl felt the betrayal, and had severe pain from it.
The whole pack was super excited about the new heir coming. His hissing intake of breath let me know how pissed he was at me. “Are you crazy, Reagan? Are you?
You know what he a capable of, and yet you try to set up a man who was nice enough to house us, and protect us. Are you wanting to die? Because that option could be on the table.
He killed Sierra, and she caused less of a problem. Didn’t I tell you to stop, that we are all at their mercy, and the only people we can fully even 80% trust here, are the Peters?
I swear the more I see your actions, the more, I am sorry that I didn’t give Raven a better chance. I was a terrible Alpha and father to her, and yet she is bright, respectful, and kind.
The complete opposite of you. I don’t know if I can get you out of this, Reagan, and really I don’t even want to this time.
I told you a hundred times on the way here, and every day since we have been here, to cool it. That we are done, You just can’t help yourself. Whatever he decides to do to you. I will back him 100%.
Maybe with some punishment, you will get it through your head that there really are consequences for your actions” my dad said to me and I am shocked. “Dad, you can’t just let them kill me.
I am your only daughter” I begged him, with tears in my eyes. He can never resist the tears in my eyes. It always works. “Reagan, You are a spoiled, conniving she-wolf.
Your mother was angry about the video with Justin that you came up with. I was desperate because of Cole, and the council, and thought that Brandon and Cole fighting would take the focus off of us.
But even if you didn’t learn something about it, I did. Maybe because I am older, wiser, or because I actually give a damn.
That video that they did showed me that the Goddess has blessed them, not just Raven and Brandon, but Justin too. Something is going on with them, and it is powerful.
There is a reason for it, or the Goddess wouldn’t have given Raven back to Justin again. That kind of backing is hard to fight. We were done when we were running away from Silver Blade.
I told you that on our way here. But you were probably not listening to me. Maybe that is why Raven got blessed. She cares, and you don’t.
I have failed as a father, so maybe you will learn a hard life lesson now, and make better choices. Because I will not allow you to expose us, now that we are safe.
I have to protect my mate, I have protected you over and over, but now it is time for you to experience the consequences” my dad said, and he looked defeated.
I watched him slowly walk away, and head up the stairs out of my sight. I am shocked, he cannot mean that. He is going to let Blake do whatever he wants to me. This will not be good.
In the morning he will suspect I did something to him, and I could honestly die from this. That should have never been an option.
What if he lets Cheryl choose, that might be better, she was going to most likely go easier on me. I don’t know, that might be wrong too.
She was pissed, really pissed, I don’t know if she would give me a pass. We haven’t known each other for that long, but she knows how I am.
She cannot allow me to get away with this, there will have to be some real punishment given out. I sat down on the cot, and realization set into me.
This cot was filthy, 6 inches up from the floor, and I had no blanket, no mattress. It was disgusting, and smelly in here. The cold from the stone floor rose up to give me a chill.
I would have to strip down to phase into my wolf, Lena, to try to stay warm. “No I am good, I am warm. You never listen to me. I think you need some punishment.
I hope you suffer all night” Lena told me through our link, and then blocked me. Great, I am on my own all night. I called out to the guard that I knew was stationed at the top of the stairs.
“What?” he replied back sharply. He didn’t want to have anything to do with me. “Can I have a blanket?” I asked him. “Phase, we don’t have blankets,” came his short response.
“I can’t phase,” I told him. “Not my problem, if you hadn’t tried to affect our Alpha couple, you would be in a nice warm bed. I think you need to be outside and shackled in the rain.
It is what you deserve” he told me. Yes, tomorrow will be a bad day too. I tried to sleep but only slept off and on fitfully all night. This treatment is wrong, and I don’t deserve it.
I could tell the sun was up, and it was after lunch, but I hadn’t received any food yet, not breakfast, or lunch.
I finally see a guard coming and he put the silver handcuffs on me, but thankfully I was cuffed in the front, so that was much more comfortable. He leads me upstairs, and straight to Blake’s office.
If I knew that what I did last night was going to end up like this. I would have never done it, I would have just kept after Travis.
I saw Travis’ face first when I entered the office, but the second he saw me he looked away. Blake was sitting there with his ranked wolves lined up behind him.
Cheryl was in a chair next to him, and I could see that she was trying to pull her hand free of his, even as they sat there. I saw my dad, and Silas in there too.
There were also three men I didn’t know standing there as well. One looked a little like Blake, not as handsome, but acceptable.
He had two men with him, and they were both looking at me with interest in their eyes. They had to be at least some of his ranked wolves. I felt the power radiating from all three of them.
“So this is Reagan. She is the one I called you about, Aaron. She cannot be trusted, and I will start there. You need to know this from the get-go. You will probably never be able to fully trust her.
I had her room searched, and they found this” Garrett steps forward and tossed a small bag of pills onto Blake’s desk.
“She put something in my drink last night and convinced me that I needed to get back at my beautiful pregnant mate, by sleeping with her, to hurt my mate.
I find Reagan unacceptable in every way, so it was not normal behavior on my part, and my men figured out she had been up to something.
I do not want her in my pack any longer as she hurt my mate, and me, with her actions. I will tell you that she is wanted, by the council.
I want you to be able to make an informed decision here, so I will tell you what I know. Once she is with your pack, she cannot leave. You need to make sure that no one tells on her either.
Maybe keep her separated from anyone who might tell the council where she is.
Additionally, Alpha Cole from the Blood Walker Pack and Alpha Brandon from the Black Adder Pack are still looking for her, and her group.
I had promised them asylum here, but she had cost my mate the trust she previously had in me. Trust that I now have to build back up.
I was going to kill Reagan this morning, but her father begged on her behalf.
If it ever looks like she will cause you big problems, or bring unwanted attention from the council, or anyone else, you can take any recourse on her that you need to” Blake told that Aaron guy.
Cheryl looked as stunned as I did when the drugs from my room were dropped onto the desk.
She looked up at me with anger, and I knew that Blake wouldn’t have to kill me, she would, if she got her hands on me. She knew what I had done, and why he did it now too.
She is furious, and after he announced what she had done, and Garrett dropped the baggie on the table, she edged closer to Blake.
She started holding his arm, instead of him holding her hand to keep her here against her will like he was at the start.
She got a faint smile on her face when he announced that he was going to have me killed for what I had done. She stood up and moved to his lap by the time he had finished speaking.
I can see her starting to forgive him already and his large hand immediately going right to her still-flat stomach, to give it a comforting rub. He was much angrier than I anticipated.
I have never been able to not talk my way out of anything before. Even if I couldn’t, dad always did.
I see the guy who looks a little like Blake looking at me again, this time with more focus, and suspicion in his eyes. I don’t know what this deal between them is, but surely it can’t be that bad.
I mean that all look like good guys, but you really can’t know people, not how they really are, just by looking at them.
Blake’s voice rings out again in the room, “I know she is attractive, and I assure you that you have seen her before if she looks familiar to you. In that hotel room video.
She was the star of it, and I know that you have seen it. She is an Alpha, so she can provide you with the strong pups that you were wanting if you do actually want her.
You can always have her checked out by your pack doctor. But I know that you wanted to start building your pack up with strong pups.
This is your opportunity to do so, she can bear yours, and if your ranked don’t find their mates soon, she can bear some for them too, if you want her.
After all, she seems to really enjoy hooking up with people she is not mated to.
Her parents will have to go to your pack to visit her, as she will not be allowed to come back to Black Moon ever again.
But she will have to stay there, at Blood Tracker pack, for the rest of her life.”
No, that is a fate worse than death.
I will be like a slave, or a birthing unit, to them, bearing pup after pup, until they find someone else they want, or they find their own mates. I won’t do it, they can just kill me now.
I know that my dad won’t allow them to do this to me. This is disgusting and barbaric.
I saw the interest flare up in all three of their eyes when he mentioned the video, and I know that any of these men would take me now in this room if it was acceptable.
I really hate having made that video now. I hope my father stops this ridiculous charade, right now. I refuse to comply with this. I will not do this. I choose who I sleep with, no one else does.
My dad is saying nothing, so I will beg for forgiveness myself. “Cheryl, I am so sorry for what I did, and the problems that I caused you. Blake, I am sorry that I drugged you.
I just wanted to sleep with you, and I know you wanted to build the pack up. I felt like as a true Alpha, from two Alpha parents, I would provide you with a strong pup.
I will never do anything else like this here. I will stay at the house when mom and dad get it built, and not come out unless you tell me I can. But I want to stay here with my parents.
I made friends here, and I don’t want to leave” I begged them both. “You have to be a friend, to have a friend. I was your only friend, up until last night.
You were told to stop, and you just can’t do it. I agree with Blake. If they don’t want to take you, the only way that I can start building the trust back is for you to not exist.
I am sorry, but you have shown time and again, that you cannot be trusted. I cannot allow you to stay here, waiting to see what you will do next.
You could hurt our pup, and I just cannot take that chance” Cheryl said to me.
I see Blake’s eyes fly up to look at me at what she said, and I know that I am getting really close to being put to death right now.
He loves that pup, and he would kill me right then if he had even thought of me hurting the pup. I looked back over at the three men. They were all fairly attractive.
I may not be happy about having pups for each of them, but I will still be alive to try to find a way out of it. Who knows, they may all fall in love with me, and I might end up running the place.
They already seemed happy to take me off Blake’s hands now. I gave them a smile, as they are my only hope, and I saw Alpha Aaron give me a wink. I guess I need to get packed.
Looks like I am moving again. Chapter 76
Raven’s POV
I am over the 4-month mark, our pup will be here by next week, and I cannot wait. I am so big, and uncomfortable.
I am thankful for the guys, as I am sure I would be miserable without them. They are so doting and happy to try to outdo each other.
It is working out great for me, and the guys have fallen into a good routine with how things are going for us. Thankfully, they have settled down with trying to outdo each other too.
They are both pretty strong-willed, and possessive. Most nights, especially now, are just cuddling at night before bed.
They both know that I am getting close, and they are just as excited as I am to see the baby. They will both be with me, in the delivery room.
There was no real way around it, I am working on both of them knowing that they are important to me. The bond helps to make that happen, but I can’t treat them any differently from each other.
I love them both, it is just different with each. Brandon is more forceful, and assertive, in how he is. Justin is just laid back, unless he is fighting, or having s*x.
He is much more controlling then. I am assuming that Reagan was very controlling there too, and didn’t let him do what he wanted in bed. That was why he really thought it was me in the video.
Because she never allowed him to just do what he wanted, only what she wanted. Justin is very happy these days, more than I have ever seen him. I see he loves the baby just as much as Brandon does.
He considers it to be “ours” and although it is still uncomfortable sometimes together, they are much better than at the beginning of this. The pack is much more receptive of us as well.
After the elder spoke, they realized that we are not the only trio that has existed. They have gotten much more information on the subject through the council and high elders.
One of the high elders even came here to speak to the pack about why the Goddess does this, and the war that we will be facing. The gossip about us has thankfully stopped.
None of us knew that it was even happening in the pack, they were respectful to all of us when we were together. It was poor Justin who was the one who was getting hit on when he was alone.
Since he escorted me with my duties, any guy who even gave me a second look, shut them down and was quick to do it.
They figured it out very quickly, that I was never alone, and after that second town hall, that was it. They knew if they approached, it wouldn’t be just Justin that they dealt with.
Brandon shut down the flirting of his fan club, and he no longer assisted with helping anyone with their form, only mated wolves got his assistance.
He verbally assisted anyone else, even the ones who intentionally were “confused” as to how their stance should be. He could see it through my eyes now.
If he didn’t want to see me in the same position of someone putting their hands on me to help me out, then he didn’t do it with the unmated she-wolves just looking to get him to help them.
I started having pains last night, I was still able to sleep, but they were annoying.
Brandon had done as much paperwork, and food deliveries as he could, to try to get ahead because we knew the baby was coming. He was the most jealous of Justin right now, as he has ever been.
Justin’s job is to train with Brandon and the ranked wolves. He also helps train two classes a day, and stays with me, as an escort for my safety.
I had been in one of the two classes, but now that we are so close to delivering, we can’t do it. Stella and I stayed on the sidelines with Lanie, who was a month behind us.
We are all excited that our children will be close as siblings at almost the same age. My baby and Lanie’s baby will be cousins, and Jackson and Angie were so happy for the grand pups arriving soon.
My brother Carter, and his mate Simone, are expecting as well, she got pregnant in her second heat too, and is about a month behind me. I have really been enjoying being at training lately.
The guys try their best to get along, and not cause me stress. The only time that they are allowed to be free with their discord is in training.
Truett is strong but was surprised to see that his ranking as second in the pack, was lost to Justin.
He forgot that Justin was a Beta blood too, and was truly surprised to see Justin beat him in sparring, and not break a sweat to do it.
Justin has been going to the same human training place that Stella, and I, went to train. He has been really helping the pack become stronger as he teaches them more hand-to-hand combat.
He masters the training and then helps the pack with it. He teaches the ranked wolves first, and once they have it down it gets included in the training.
Today the raked wolves, all four of them, are sparring, and as usual, a number of the warriors and pack members have shown up.
It helps everyone wanting to excel in the new way to fight to see the ranked members put on a good show. So far it is back and forth on who is the most successful at it.
Brandon, or Justin, are always the ones on top, it just depends on the actual form to know who is the best at it. Brandon is best at Krav Maga, Karate, and MMA styles.
Justin excels at Taekwondo, Jiu Jitsu, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Justin will be going to learn Judo, Muay Thai, and Aikido as well to bring into the pack training.
They have not perfected all the moves yet in the training. It will take more than two months to become a master, but we have plenty of time to train.
That is what they are learning to do, and Brandon has gone to several of the training sessions as well in the city to learn the forms that he is better at than Justin.
They fight one pair at a time, to give the other team time to rest. To make it fair all four of their names are written on a piece of paper, and they randomly pull a name to fight.
Brandon, Truett, Leander, and Justin will all take turns pulling first, but it never fails that either Brandon or Justin, will end up winning.
That is not to say that Truett and Leander are not excellent fighters, they are, and they can beat anyone else in the pack.
I see Leander picking first this time, and he motioned at Justin and grimaced.
I can see that he doesn’t want to fight him, and it is easier when they include Jackson, Krew, and Edward, Truett’s dad in the group.
Krew has gotten to where he enjoys going to train in the city too, as he and Lanie go and she watches so she can train in it after she delivers.
Lanie is a great fighter, and I am excited about when we get to learn too after the babies get here. Stella is ready to get to it as well, as she listens to the instruction as they teach it.
With us so close to delivering now, we had to stop our training a month ago. We were originally doing it in a modified way, as we can’t go full force anymore.
Stella got to go 2 weeks past me, as she is a Beta, and she will go to the whole 5-month mark with her baby.
I will probably deliver in the next week or so, the baby looks perfect and is already ready to go and head down now. I cannot wait to meet him.
Since I will be nursing the baby’s bed will be in the same room as mine after delivery. But for the last week, we have all been sharing the same bed.
They are overly protective of me since it is almost time. I have to admit that it makes me feel so safe to be laying between them at night. Their scents help to calm me and make me feel secure.
So I really enjoy this time together, I know that they are just as excited as I am about this. Leander and Justin take their spots and Krew calls the start of the fight.
Leander is just trying to keep the fight going for at least the first 5 minutes and is careful in his line of attack.
He knows that Justin’s strength is explosive and he will take you down quickly given any opportunity. Plus I think that Justin and Brandon go harder when they fight each other than anyone else.
It is not that they don’t give their all in a fight, it just seems like they give 110% when fighting each other. Leander did a couple of good moves and got quite a few blows in on Justin.
Leander is the youngest of the group, as he is still 18, and Justin is about to be 20 here soon.
I have to admit I was leery of Leander at first, as it was Cheryl’s brother, and I had heard about Silas too. But Leander is a good guy, and he has given none of us a moment’s doubt about his loyalty.
He cares for Black Adder and his fellow pack members. He also wants to correct the family name for the pack as it got tarnished before.
He feels shame for not knowing what they were doing, but all he was focused on at the time was training, to be able to take over the Gamma title from his father.
Justin is focused on Leander, and takes each fight seriously, even though they are pretty good friends.
I can see when Justin sees his opening, as I like to watch, and think about what I would do in the same position.
I watch as he moves forward and takes Leander down, putting him into an arm bar to make him submit. Justin immediately let’s go when Leander submits, and they both get up with a grin and shake hands.
I can see how proud he is of Leander as he does better each and every month. It took Justin about 8 minutes to get Leander to tap out, and that is 3 minutes longer than last month.
I see Truett hop up, stretching a little before he goes to head to the circle to fight Brandon. He gave Stella a kiss before he walked off, and she told him good luck.
She is proud of him, and I love how she adores him so. He is a good mate to my best friend, so that makes me love him too.
Brandon didn’t stretch, but he had already stretched when he got here, he didn’t sit down, he stood next to me to watch the fight between Leander, and Justin.
I know he was watching Justin more than Leander because Justin will be his true competition. On nights that I am with Justin, Brandon catches up, or gets ahead on his paperwork, and filing.
On Brandon’s night, Justin either goes to train or helps to train Truett and Leander, on what he learned. They both do what they can to make the pack stronger.
Brandon watches Truett carefully, and Truett can’t help but be sarcastic and say, “I’ll go easy on you Brandon,” before laughing.
We all know that Brandon will probably will, but he never speaks back to Truett and didn’t c***k a grin that Truett felt he deserved for his funny comment.
They both take their time watching the other and making defensive moves. Truett is trying to learn more about Krav Maga’s moves, as he knows that it is what Brandon favors.
It is one of the most effective fighting styles, and he knows that is usually what Brandon will use to take others down. He always uses it on Justin, and it is hit or miss for him.
Justin is very good and getting out of the holds, and I already know that Justin has been upping his Krav Maga classes, to learn how to escape from some of the holds.
Justin has more time than Brandon does, to fight, and I think it is a pride thing as well. He is shorter than Brandon, but his chest is broader and more defined.
They are both incredibly strong and I am proud of both of them. I know that when they fight each other in the next fight, that I will be stressed watching it.
They know not to go too far, but it makes me worry anytime they fight each other.
Truett rushes a hold, thinking he had an advantage, with Brandon swiping his leg and taking him into a guillotine choke. Truett taps immediately and Brandon lets him go.
Truett starts his good-natured, “I went easy on you, and let you win” which did c***k Brandon up. Now he and Justin will have to fight, and I am worried.
They have not announced the war coming, as they are scared that there will be a mass exodus from the pack at hearing that.
My father had increased the training at their pack as well, but no one other than ranked members know what exactly is coming. They just wanted all of our members to be prepared.
Brandon has also been trying to see about getting someone in here, a weapons specialist to help train whoever wants to learn either how to shoot a gun, bow and arrow, or both.
Brandon will get ten minutes to recover from the fight and I am already worried about it, as they are both out to impress today, and the crowd has gotten large, there are about 100 people out here to see their fight now.
I just hope that no one will get seriously hurt. Chapter 77
Raven’s POV
As Brandon and Justin head to the circle and I feel my heart clench.
I can feel both of them radiating their power at each other, and their shirts came off. I can feel interest pick up from some of the she-wolves, but thankfully they stay silent.
I don’t mind people looking at them, I can’t stop them, but I will not allow them to hit on either one of them. I see Brandon stretch this time, and then start running in place.
Justin does the same thing, as he fought first, and needed to warm his muscles back up. He takes the fighting seriously. Brandon won the last two times.
And I think it is a matter of pride for him, to take the win this time. I see them both eyeing each other, as they finish stretching. This fight always makes me nervous for both of them.
They are going to go all out, and I can’t do anything but worry for them both. Justin steps into the circle first, and Brandon steps in 20 seconds later.
His eyes stay trained on Justin, sizing him up, he knew Justin was staying on his training and had taken a few extra Krav Maga classes since last month.
Krew steps up to start the fight and they both circle looking for an opening from the other. Brandon lands the first blow, with a hammer fist punch that Justin almost avoided, but it still landed.
I see Justin frown and was not pleased that it happened, and I see him try to shake it off and let it go. He cannot allow himself to get upset, and just lash out.
You have to stay cool in the heat of battle, they just started three months ago, and are basically still at the beginner level.
But they learn quickly, the trainers have shown them some more advanced moves, and I believe that they will be taking advantage of that in this fight.
More and more people are coming to watch the fight, as they are known to be the best here at Black Adder.
Justin twisted and his elbow connected with Brandon’s ribs, and I can tell that he may have injured them.
I am already mindlinking the doctor, to come out and at least check his ribs, there is nothing else that they can do when it is a rib injury.
I can see Brandon is favoring his right side now, which will be his disadvantage. Brandon is righthanded and this will affect the power of his punch, and his reach on that side.
I have cracked a rib before when I got hurt from the fall off the bridge. It hurts, very badly, even sitting still and breathing hurts. I want to call the fight, but they won’t allow that either.
It will get finished, one way or another now. I will still have the doctor here to treat one, or both of them, as I know how pissed off Brandon will be over that injury.
Justin will get some payback from it, it is just a matter of time. They are circling again, and I see Justin come in to land a punch Brandon swipes his legs, and brings Justin down.
Before Brandon can get down and put him in a choke hold, Justin rolls free and is up again.
Brandon’s injury is causing him to be slower as he doesn’t want to cause any more damage to his ribs than he already has now.
They know more moves, and in an effort to not really injure the warriors training in this, they actually both train using dummies to work on.
There are some moves used to incapacitate the people you are fighting against. You wouldn’t do an eye gouge or an uppercut elbow in this type of fight.
We do not need our men and women blinded, or with substantial wounds. If their throat is hurt enough then they could not be able to breathe and could potentially die.
So some moves are banned in training. One wrong move and it could be a very serious situation, for both fighters.
This monthly fight was to get people interested in taking the advanced training and learning another level of defense.
We need to make sure that we get our people trained, to where it is second nature for them to be able to defend themselves. When fighting in wolf form, that can only be one way.
The most dangerous thing that we do is biting, and you can spear them in the side too.
But it has been determined that spearing another wolf in the side, although handy if you are in wolf form, can also injure your neck.
You are running at a great speed, to stop them, and when you connect there is always a possibility of jamming your neck, hurting your neck, and a possible concussion occurring.
Some wolves are very large, and heavy, we have learned that traveling is best in our wolf form, but conserving our energy while fighting to allow our wolves to heal us as we do, is sometimes the best way to go.
The only other option is tearing the unprotected underbelly, which can also kill a wolf, but is dangerous as you are put in a bad spot to get it done.
Brandon, and Justin, have really been working on bringing our pack forward.
They have been meeting with my dad, Beta Timothy, Joshua, and my brothers, to come up with ways to get the numbers down, losing the minimal amount of our people.
Brandon cares for his pack members, and although we know that there is no way to not lose any, we still want to keep our numbers down for our losses.
My father and brother are concerned on their end as well. So we are all working on getting this done.
Dad is having training for the weapons on his packland now, and we will have the same trainers come here next month. I hope that I am healed enough and cleared by the doctor to participate in it.
I see Brandon come in again to land another blow, and Justin takes him down with a forward kick.
He took Brandon’s feet right out from underneath him, and took him down to the ground, before going on top of him to take him into a front choke hold.
There are escapes from it, but from how Justin is situated, Brandon would have to use his right arm forcefully, to get out of it, and with his ribs damaged, it was hard for him to do.
I see the tap, and Justin gets up and reaches out to have Brandon grab his hand with his left arm and get an assist up.
I am very anxious, that was really fast, and I know that Brandon is hurt worse than he is letting on right now.
He doesn’t like for people to know how hurt he is and his mouth is tight, so I know he is hurting. I rush in to check on him as the doctor gets there to check him out.
Brandon has probably broken or cracked his ribs in the fight. The doctor was going to have to get him to the pack hospital to run an x-ray on him to know how bad the damage was.
I can feel my stomach cramp with my worry for Brandon, and I rush to go to the pack hospital with him. I am so worried for him, and Justin grabs both their shirts and follows us to the hospital.
Brandon can’t put it on right now, but he might need it later on at the hospital. My anxiety rises at the thought of him being hurt like that and I am a little mad at Justin.
I know his pride took a blow the last two months, but the baby is about to be here, and he might not even be able to hold him properly with his injury.
I looked over at Justin with a glare on my face, but I stopped because he looks just as upset as I am over this.
I realized that he probably expected Brandon to step back more to keep it from landing as hard as it did. It was a fight, and these two men, do their best to go all out when they do fight.
I feel the pain again, and I put my hands on either side of my stomach, and stop for a minute. I was right next to Justin when I stopped, and he was right there to help me.
He called out to the doctor and Brandon who immediately stopped to see what had happened.
I see the concern they both have and Justin picked me up to carry me to the hospital, mindlinking my doctor to come to check on me.
He takes me to the nurse’s station, and they take me to the Alpha suite. But I want Brandon to be checked out first, in the Alpha suite.
This baby isn’t coming this second, he isn’t actually supposed to be here for another 5 days. I insist on waiting while Brandon gets seen. I am more worried about him than I am about myself.
People have babies every day, and from what I had researched about it, they take a minute to get here. Brandon gets taken to get x-rays, and I waited with Justin.
The pain is coming like clockwork now, every four minutes. I just focused on my breathing, and Justin held my hand. Brandon came back and he had good news, his ribs were bruised, but not broken.
I was relieved, and thankful. I guess he did manage to step back and keep the blow from doing too much damage. He was given a cold compress to put on it, and we waited for my doctor.
I am assuming that these are Braxton Hicks and the doctor will give us the all-clear to leave soon.
Brandon insisted on me getting into the bed while I waited and a nurse came after a while to get me to change into a hospital gown to be checked out.
Both Brandon and Justin were super excited at the possibility of the baby coming, but I was insistent on us leaving as soon as I got cleared to do so.
I see my doctor come in and she is all smiles at the guys, at how excited they both were. I guess since I was the one in pain, I was much less happy about being here.
“Well Luna, let’s get you checked out,” she said and went ahead to see how far I was dilated. “5 centimeters, you are halfway there. Did your water break?
Is that why you came to the hospital?” the doctor asked. “No, the ranked sparring match just happened. I guess seeing them fighting together, and Brandon getting hurt.
I guess I didn’t notice the pain. But my water hasn’t broken yet” I told her. She grinned at me and said, “You are well on your way.
When did you start feeling the contractions?”
“Last night before bed,” I told her and both men snapped their heads to me. They were surprised, I hadn’t mentioned it to either of them.
“Why didn’t you say something? We could have skipped the ranked competition and just come here to get you checked out” Brandon said, with worry written all over his face.
“I didn’t realize that was what it was, I thought it was the false ones. We still had five days left. Plus we were right next to the hospital, just in case.
But I didn’t honestly think that my labor had started, I wasn’t hurting that badly. So I really wasn’t worried about it yet” I told them.
I can see the excitement building on their faces as they realize that today will be the day that the baby comes. The doctor ended up having to break my water, and I progressed quickly.
The doctor kept commenting to me that she thought that I had a high pain threshold as I didn’t get any pain medicine. I think it is more the Goddess taking care of me yet again, in this.
The guys were so sweet, and Brandon called his parents to let them know that I was in labor. Justin called my parents to tell them that the baby was coming.
They were excited as well and my family started packing up a small bag to head this way.
the Beta couple wanted to come, but Beta Timothy and Amanda were in charge of the pack, for the few days that my parents were here.
plus, Stella will be giving birth soon, and they will be here themselves, probably by next week. I was progressing quickly and we were at 7 centimeters before we knew it.
“It won’t be long now, Raven is really dilating quickly and we should have a baby boy here soon. Probably in the next few hours” my doctor told them.
I can see that Brandon was in pain, and I wished that I could fix it for him, he was going to hurt sitting or standing with the bruised ribs, but at least nothing was broken.
That would take a lot longer to heal. They were on either side of my bed, and with each contraction, they help support me as I felt them.
I know that this is supposed to be worse than what I am actually experiencing. All the nurses are telling me that the Goddess is helping me with this first labor.
I was so glad to have both men here with me. I needed them. Justin only let my hand go when I wasn’t dealing with a contraction and that was only to give me ice chips when I needed them.
He was ready to go for active labor, as he already had a washcloth to wipe my forehead with a cool rag to help me, as he had really been studying what happens during birth on his free nights.
He was really prepared and had even packed my bag for me too. Neither of them would leave me unless my dad, brother’s, or Brandon’s dad were here in the room to protect me and the baby.
I already knew that we were their first priority. I was glad to have them here when the active labor started, clearly, the Goddess was with me as I pushed.
I didn’t have any problems with the delivery, and I am assuming that she did it for a reason, as she knew we have a timeline here.
We knew we had a minute, but getting the kids and the pack ready was not going to be a small feat.
There was going to be a LOT of training, and I had a feeling that I was going to be getting pregnant again, probably as soon as I got cleared to be with my mates again.
You can’t stop what a higher power has intended for you. You can try to run from it like I did Justin. But if it is meant to be, you won’t have a choice about it.
Even at just three months now, I cannot see my life without Justin in it. He is powerful and strong with others. But with me, he is doting and loving. I cannot imagine my life without Brandon either.
He runs the pack with a much tighter grip now, after the incident with Justin. Brandon puts down his guard with me and his family. But he loves me endlessly too.
“Stop and don’t push until I tell you to” I heard my doctor tell me.
I waited and a short time later she encouraged me with a, “One more push, and he will be here.” I was so happy and I can hear Emerald in my mind telling me what I good job I am doing.
She cannot wait to see her baby either. I felt a squeeze on each of my hands, as they guys were excited to see our baby too.
Brandon was just beaming as he leaned forward to watch his son enter the world. His pride was visible on his face as the baby was born. I can see the love in his eyes as the doctor holds the baby.
I see his tears as our baby cries out, announcing his arrival. I looked up at Justin and he is just as impressed as Brandon is with our baby, with his eyes focused firmly on the baby.
I watched as Brandon cut the umbilical cord, even though using his right hand hurt him. We started a new tradition with this pregnancy, each man got to pick a name for the baby.
We won’t be knowing who the baby belongs to at birth, so each of the men picked several names. They knew that we would be having quite a few children, and were ahead of the game.
We went through them and pieces them together and I had approved of half of them already. The names were all meaningful to us. I watched as both men watched as the baby was placed on my chest.
I felt the tears on my face as I gazed at my son. I loved him so much already, I couldn’t believe the amount of love you can have.
It seemed like my heart was about to burst with happiness, and he was perfect. My baby boy. He had my black hair, but he looked just like Brandon.
I stroked his cheek lightly with my fingertip, amazed at the life we had created. I wonder if he was going to have Brandon’s eyes or mine, and we got the answer pretty quickly.
I stared into my own eyes and got overwhelmed again by the love I have for this baby. I looked up at Brandon, who was gazing at me with pride, as I held our son.
I was glad that Justin was just as enamored with the pup as we were. This was a good sign, and I feel like it made our bond even stronger between us.
I know that he cannot wait to have one of his own, and I am quite sure after a month off, the doctor will give me the all-clear to have s*x again.
I am hoping that we will get to stay together for the next month. I slept very well in between them, and I will miss that the most.
I am hoping that while I am off limits for at least the next month that we can continue with the sleeping arraignment that we have going so far.
I know that I would be happiest with it, I guess I will have to speak to the guys to see what they think.
