Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter - Chapter 77: Chapter 115

Brandon’s POV
I can hear him before I see him. Good, he is pissed off too. I waited for a minute listening to the threats that he is giving to anyone he can see. This is so unlike him.
He is usually so calm and collected. I bet he suspects something now.
I am sure his threats are so vicious because he knows his game is all over, and he needs to get the hell out of here before I get here. Too late for him, I am already here.
I motion to a guard and tell him to go get me a chair to sit in at Graham’s cell. I am not in a hurry, this is going to take a while. I am glad that he is in the far back corner and has extra walls.
I just thought of a decorating idea for him. I will have to get some pictures of Cassandra blown up into posters, and put on the walls for him to see what he has lost too.
I will make sure that they are just out of reach on that side wall, so he can’t tear them down. It really is the least I can do for him. I would hate for time to take her away in his memories.
I mean that was the start of his evil empire. Taking her away from her original true mate, and conning her into accepting him. From then on, he got worse.
Tricking people into deals, and putting hidden clauses into contracts that went by unnoticed, until he needed to deal them a blow.
I have heard a lot about things Graham did to other Alphas throughout the years. But the worst thing he ever did was to teach his own child how to do it too.
He created the female version of himself that was willing to do literally anything to promote herself and get what she wanted or felt entitled to.
That reminds me, we need to have a talk about her too. I need to ask Graham whether or not Reagan knew what he was planning on doing to me and Cheryl or not.
As far as I am concerned, she is 15 years past when she should have met the Goddess. I will have no problem backing out of my deal, as clearly, Graham didn’t take our deals seriously, to begin with.
He told me he could help me, and instead, his subversive interference cost me a great deal, my mate and son.
He had better tread carefully today, or his daughter can be brought right back here, not to live, but for punishment to be administered.
Since I know how much he likes to include children in his plans, I think that would only be fair.
The warrior carried the chair down to the cell for me and I am glad that there is a desk sitting there in the corner.
I think that it would be a great place to put framed photos of him and Cassandra together to make his new home, more like his old one.
I waited to walk into his view as I mindlinked and told Silas to gather up at least 5 framed photos of Graham and Cassandra together and 5 more of just Cassandra for me, and bring them to the cells.
He knew I was pissed and immediately sprung up to do it for me. I then linked Garrett to meet Silas at the entrance to the cells and wait for him to bring him the photos.
The ones of Graham and Cassandra together will need to come down here.
The ones of just her, are to be removed from their frames and taken into the city for the pictures to be made into the biggest poster size that the place can make.
I gave Garrett a few more instructions and then stepped into Graham’s view.
He is furious at being in here, and immediately jumped up from his cot and stalks up to the bars, and asked, “Why am I here, Blake? Why would you allow your Gamma to assault me?
Haven’t I suffered enough today? Your mate killed mine. I am suffering and in pain.
Why would you add to it?”
I noticed that he was not shrieking at me when he spoke like he just did to the guard who took my chair down there for me.
He is in full acting mode now and is trying to gain sympathy from me. He is acting pitiful and weak like he used to. It had worked for him too.
I believed that he was a weak old man, that was not valuable to me or the pack. He was not made to do anything here. He did what he wanted, when he wanted, and no one messed with him about it.
It was disgusting how far I allowed him to go, in MY pack. That comes to a screeching halt today. I am ecstatic to give him that news. “I am sorry, I will be sure to fill you in on why you are here.
It has come to my attention that in your plan to get vengeance on Cheryl and me, you have overstepped. I am just confused as to why Cheryl and I were blamed for what had happened to begin with.
We had no possible way to have known that Reagan would be harmed there. I didn’t hurt her, we didn’t instruct anyone to hurt her.
I think you misplaced your anger from where it should be and placed it where it shouldn’t have been” I told him. I don’t want him to know that I already know everything.
I am going to lie to him and say that we found Cheryl, just to see if he is willing, to tell the truth. I just need to see how far he is willing to take his lies.
“I don’t know what you are talking about Blake. Reagan was attacked at Blood Tracker. I have never blamed you, or Cheryl for any of it. I don’t know why you would even say that to me.
I am sorry for the misunderstanding, but I don’t deserve to be in the cells for a lie that someone else told you. I have never done anything to try to hurt you, Blake. I want to help you.
I understand the pressures of being Alpha. I have only wanted to help since I arrived here, in thanks to you for protecting us” Graham told me, and I am fine with doing it this way.
I needed to work my anger out. “Well, the problem is, Graham. We managed to find Cheryl, and Kevin, in the city.
I had them both brought back here, kicking, and screaming all the way back, as a matter of fact. I spoke to her, and what she said, and what you are saying just doesn’t match up.
I have to tell you that she made some really good points while we were sorting this out. It does actually seem like you have been up to no good, Graham.
I just came down here to let you know what is going on. I want to be as transparent with you, as you have been with me in this.
So what I am going to do, is keep you locked up down here, until the DNA test I took with Kevin comes back. If he isn’t my son, I will let you go.
If he is my son, then we are going to have some real problems between us, Graham” I made sure I growled out his name at the end, and let Kona show himself to Graham.
“You know that she cannot be trusted, Blake. How many lies has she told you? I don’t understand why you would even listen to her Blake. I have to say that this is a crazy idea on your part.
She could pay someone at the company to lie about the results. I just don’t trust her. She is desperate and willing to do anything to make you believe her Blake.
She has killed 3 pack members just today, including my beloved mate, and your girlfriend. She has to be punished. She escaped once, she could escape again.
You should put her in the cells, and I will stay in my home. On house arrest. Where would I go? I cannot leave Black Moon. I would be caught by the council, and most likely put to death.
I am not a flight risk or a concern. She is. She just literally escaped, she will try again, you need to learn from my years of experience.
I am trying to help you right now” Graham told me, and he is good. Under the guise of caring about me, he is twisting her actions around. I have to close my eyes in pain.
Seeing him in action, knowing what I now know, makes me see just how I fell for it. He is smooth, and he acts like he really is concerned for you, but it is all incorrect.
“You are already here Graham, and she is not doing well, which is exactly why they were caught. She is in the pack hospital right now and she might not be able to be saved.
So I have two warriors on her door, and I cannot take the risk of being brought out to the cells” I told him and it was hard to keep my voice even. I already know that I am telling him the truth here.
She really was not doing well. She probably did have an issue. What if she wrecked? What if they are both dead right now? I started to panic when logic kicks in.
No, she is OK, I would have felt it if she died. But I was telling the truth about my suspicions. She really looked worse than normal this morning. I hope she is OK.
I hope that when she calms down she realizes that she won’t be able to live without me, and then comes back to me, with Kevin.
I have called her phone 20 times to tell her that I will never hurt her again, but all my calls have gone to voicemail, with no answer.
I tried to have my men track it, but I hadn’t felt the need to put one on her phone. She rarely left, so I hadn’t thought that there was a point to it.
There was one already installed on each of the vehicles, so I knew I could find them if I needed to. I see they worked together smoothly as a team to get this done so that they could escape.
“I am sorry, I didn’t realize that she was hurt. I hope she gets better soon. I know the pain of losing your Luna. I am still struggling with it myself as the pain is still fresh.
I guess I just want the same freedom as she is getting. I would like to bury Cassandra on our property. That way she always stays with me. I do not think that is asking for much.
She cannot stay in cold storage for too long. She will start to decompose, and I have given you nothing but complete loyalty while I have been here. I would like some respect myself here, Blake.
I will not go to the hospital to harm Cheryl. I know that I reacted badly before, and made some threats. I just want to go and get my Luna, and take care of her.
I will allow you to make the decision of what will happen to Cheryl. I know I am the wronged party, but you are the Alpha.
I know you will do the right thing, even if your mate was the one who killed mine. I know that because you are an honorable man, Blake” Graham is laying it on thick and I am going to play his game.
He is a liar, but I am interested in seeing what he is actually going to do. I linked Garrett, and said, “Plans changed. Leave the pictures of them together in my office.
Send the warrior to do what I asked. Graham wants to keep lying, and I just want the opportunity to bust him in real life, and him not be able to talk his way out of it.
Come and let him out of his cells in about 6 minutes, I just need a little head start on my plans” I broke the link. I opened my eyes to look at Graham.
I had closed him so he wouldn’t see me linking anyone. I frowned as if I was thinking about what he had said. I know that he will be coming to kill Cheryl as punishment for killing Cassandra.
Plus I can get two birds with one stone. Graham will go to deal with Cheryl first. He will have to call Reagan on his cell phone to tell her what had happened to Cassandra.
I can call Aaron to go visit her, tell her the bad news, and see if she had known what was going on. I need to know.
If she had, it is good for Aaron, as he has been wanting his kids back, and this was a way to get them back from her.
I will let him be the judge of her reaction to his question, he will know if she is lying or not. “Garrett will be here in 5 minutes. I am OK with you burying Cassandra on your plot of land.
I do not have any keys with me. You know it has been over 15 years since we have used the cells, and we just haven’t needed to carry them around with us.
He is headed to get them now, and he will be here soon to release you” I told Graham and he was very happy to hear it.
I headed to the hospital and had Marc send two warriors to stand guard at the door. I had the nurse assign the room in her name so he could find it.
I was inside and sitting on the couch, waiting for him.
I had put pillows under the sheet on the bed and was just playing on my phone when I heard the fight start going on outside the door about 30 minutes later.
I had told the warriors to not hurt him badly because I was the one who wanted to. I basically told them to take a fall. From the sounds of it though Graham can still fight, and well.
There was no bigger admission of guilt and a nod to all his lying that this moment right here. I could hear him screaming at Cheryl, as he fought with the warriors.
“You b***h, I swear I am going to kill you for killing Cassandra. How dare you do that? You will never leave this hospital alive.
You might have saved Kevin, but you won’t be able to save yourself” Graham was still screaming out in rage and fury as he got past the guards, and slammed the door into the wall as he entered the room.
His eyes focused solely only on the figure lying in the bed. He launched himself on top of the bed and used his claws to start clawing where Chery’s head would be. His whole intent was to kill her.
He is vicious as he keeps clawing at the sheet and pillows until he realizes that there was no blood. He yanks the sheet back and stared at the pillows in shock.
The realization that he was played was instant, and he turns to run back out the door, freezing when he sees me standing there. “You lied, didn’t you?” Graham said, as he already knows the answer.
“I wasn’t the one that started lying, now was I?” I asked him, with the pain that I hid from him earlier coming out. “Look, Blake. I am sorry for what I did. But this was all your fault.
You were the one who overreacted to what Reagan had done. She was wrong for doing it, but you didn’t have to kill her for it.
I thought that you would be reasonable, and show some compassion, but you didn’t. You sold her to Aaron to have the worst possible life, even after I paid you to not kill her.
You condemned her Blake and she was r***d by Michael on her first day there. All because of what Garrett and Marc told him. They hated her, and they plotted against her.
They wanted her to be hurt by Michael. Plus Aaron’s Beta had his hands on her like 10 minutes after she arrived on their land. She didn’t even know him.
She had been protected and doted on her whole life and you lowered her to the very lowest person in the pack. She had to submit like she was some kind of a w***e.
She should have had a choice in the matter of who she wanted to sleep with, and you took it all away from her.
She was born to be Luna, the highest rank, not some pack slut to provide strong pups for the ranked wolves. It was shameful and embarrassing for her, and for us, but you didn’t care about that at all.
Only the fact that Cheryl had some mild pain, and discomfort. She didn’t lose your pup, you could have given Reagan a lesser penalty. It was all in your hands, and instead, you wanted to kill her.
What she did was a little bad, but not worthy of a death sentence” Graham told me. He calmed down quickly once he realized that I had set him up. “It was that bad, Graham. It was.
She lied to me and caused me to lash out in anger, but that was because she had drugged me. I had no interest at all in Reagan.
I never wanted to sleep with her, so I already knew something was off, but I just thought it was because I was so angry. Garrett and Marc were the ones to find out the evidence of what she had done.
They knew I would have never touched her any other way than being drugged up, and they were right. She has a history of this I believe.
It hasn’t worked out for her the first time, yet she kept doing it. It took this very punishment to teach her a lesson, and get her to stop. To realize that her actions had consequences.
To acknowledge that YOU couldn’t protect her anymore when she went too far. I broke Cheryl’s heart when it happened.
I know that Reagan did it, not to become Luna, but because she is an evil, jealous person. She was mad because I picked Cheryl, over her” I told him and the anger on his face spurs me on again.
“Once I saw her, I knew who she was, as did my men. That s*x video she did had gone viral, and she should have been embarrassed to have done it in the first place.
To have tricked a man who clearly was in love with Raven, who Reagan was pretending to be. Reagan doesn’t care about anyone else by Reagan until she became a mom.
Until she trained and got focused on being strong, and being able to protect herself. She is a better person today than the day she arrived.
So she may have been a breeder, but she was not a normal breeder. She was well taken care of, she had control of who she slept with after that first incident.
We called and checked on her several times. Cheryl and I were horrified too when we found out what had happened there. I will be dealing with Garrett and Marc.
They will not be getting a free pass here. I just didn’t know the full story of what had happened there really had something to do with them.
But you made an absolute choice to decide to hurt me, and my family. All for something we didn’t have any part of or a hand in it. We knew nothing of what Garrett and Marc had done.
We didn’t ask her to be hurt or participated in it. You were mad at us when you should have been mad at Reagan.
This whole thing was started by her, but you are just as delusional as she is, blaming others for your own actions.
Grow up and accept responsibility for your own actions.” I stopped s[ealomg and looked back into the hallway. My men were all standing there and waiting to cuff Graham and take him back to the cells.
The shame on both Garrett’s and Marc’s faces was clear. They knew that their actions were the direct result of why we were here right now. I am going to deal with them both.
I am honestly thinking of just going to one Beta, and one Gamma, because I need to be able to trust my men to follow my orders, and do their jobs.
The Beta is to protect his Luna, he didn’t do his job, in fact, he is the main reason we are here now. They both made up lies to get someone dealt with and hurt because they were being petty.
They did that without a care in the world, and if it happened to their daughter they would be greatly upset too. I turned back to Graham to finish this.
“I provided you and your family safety and security here at Black Moon. I did it for a few reasons, but the main one was that I was very interested in Cheryl.
Without her, I would not have allowed any of you to stay here on my land. You failed as a father, and instead of accepting that, and trying to help your daughter make changes to be a better person.
You started a one-man crusade on trying to destroy my mate, my son, and me. Well, I will tell you, you have been successful. You destroyed us all.
But your prize will not be the one that you wanted or expected. I plan on passing the same thing you did to Cheryl, back to you.
Every day, for the rest of your life, I want you to realize that you are stuck in that cell because of what YOU did, this was all on you.
If you took proper care of your wife, daughter, and pack, and were remotely a good Alpha, you wouldn’t have been in this situation. You are a smart businessman, but a bad Alpha.
You valued appearances, more than actual substance. You had a good mate, and yet from what I heard out of her own mouth when we spoke last month, you cheated on her for years.
She never repaid the favor to you, and I really wish now that she would have.
Maybe if she did, you would have realized the harm that you would be doing when you pushed me to be as unscrupulous as you had been.
I promise you that you will be getting the same psychological abuse as you dealt me, my mate, and my son.
You will not have an hour, day, or week go by where you don’t realize that you, Graham, are the very reason that your mate is dead.
You could have moved to Blood Tracker if you were so mad at Cheryl and me. You could have lived with your daughter and grand pups and had a wonderful life.
But instead, you decided that this was what you wanted to do. So congratulations on the success you had here at Black Moon. I hope that you remember who I was before Cheryl.
Because without her, everyone here could potentially be in danger when Kona finally explodes in anger” I told Graham. His face is pale and I can see that he finally realizes what he has done.
I can see it in his eyes, he doesn’t want to play anymore, now that he knows that his life is not worth living anymore.
I bet he would have moved and skipped all his petty vengeance crap now, but it is way too late for that. “Blake I will give you all of my savings if you allow me to go.
I will leave here and go live with Reagan, and I will even take Cassandra there to be buried. I will give you everything I have at this moment if you will just let me go.” Graham asked me.
I see the fear in his eyes. It is way too late for that. I knew that he would be trying to buy his way out of it though. He always does, it is like his go-to for everything.
I had deliberately not mentioned it to him yet for a reason. I wanted him to have a little hope, a chance of getting out of here alive. Why would I do that, he ruined my life with intent.
I have to repay it in kind. But this is going to be the best part as I see him edging toward the door. I mindlinked Garrett, and the doorway was blocked by my men.
He can’t seriously think he can run away from this. He wouldn’t make it 300 feet before we caught him. I won’t be killing him, that would be too easy. I will never give him the easy way out.
He will suffer for the rest of his life if I have anything to say about it. “Oh yes, I seemed to have forgotten to tell you that we already have possession of all your money.
Thank you, Graham, for your thoughtful donation to Black Moon. It was really very generous of you. I will be sure to use your money wisely as I spent it in the future” I told him.
I see Graham grab the rail at the end of the bed to keep from falling at the shock of what I just said. He looks like he wants to throw up, and he said, “What are you talking about?
I haven’t given you access to my account.”
“You didn’t have to, Graham, we took it earlier, right after you logged in to send the money for Reagan’s new home.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I just can’t find myself willing to lift her banishment. So she won’t be coming here to live at Black Moon. We also changed the password to your account.
We run it now. You won’t be leaving the cells ever again, so be sure to look at the moon tonight on your way back to your cell, I heard it is beautiful tonight.
Graham, I am only keeping you alive to torment you, your punishment will only be lifted if my mate returns to me, and we both know that she won’t.
Oh, but I do have some good news for you, so you won’t think that I don’t care about you. If Aaron asks Reagan if she knew what you were doing, and the answer is yes, you will be seeing her again.
I will have her brought back here, and after a time together, I will end her life right in front of you. You really forgot who you were dealing with, Graham. I will not play with you.
You are as good as dead in my eyes right now.
You better pray to the Goddess each and every day that my mate is willing to come back, or your life will be more horrible than you can even imagine” I told him and watched as my men handcuffed him with the silver cuffs so he couldn’t phase and took him back to the cells.
I don’t feel better, even after letting him know what was going to happen. I only care about one thing. Getting my family to come back to Black Moon. That was it.
I will start putting some ads up to try to contact her. I will hire some private detectives and trackers to find her. I will spend all of Graham’s money just to get my mate back.
No matter what the cost, it is worth it to me to have her back. I cannot live without her. Chapter 116
Raven’s POV
We are in a small convoy of six SUVs heading toward the Black Moon pack.
We are going to stop about 4 miles away from their gate and get everything straight.
We have a general plan, and a warrior is driving us as Brandon, and Justin got over it again in the back seat and again trying to find a flaw.
Our son Jax, and Kevin are in the last row talking excitedly about what we were about to do. We need to make sure that no one recognizes Brandon, Justin, or me.
My dad called Olivia and she met him with the extra two vehicles of warriors to go with us. I can’t appear there with my black hair.
People still love to watch the video that started it all to this day. I still get recognized, but usually, they can’t remember exactly where they know me from.
I needed to change up my appearance, but I can’t go blonde, as then I will look like Reagan. She lived there for a time, and I could be recognized pretty quickly by a long-time pack member.
Olivia ran out and got me a luxuriously long red wig, one that I suspect will have me looking like Jessica Rabbit when I put it on.
Brandon and Justin were both dealing with making a watertight plan and didn’t know I was going to be “disguised” quite that way, but I didn’t want any identifying traits showing.
I needed to look like someone else, someone that when described, will not point them straight back to Black Adder. I know now that my mother has lived here with them for the last 15 years.
I am glad that the wig was in sleek waves from an old Hollywood glam style, it did cover up some of my face, and that was going to help.
I was going to be the closest one to the gate guards and I need them to stay calm, and not suspect anything.
I need them to not realize that there is any problem until it was time to let them know there was a problem.
The plan is that I will be asking them for directions to a little town about 30 miles from their pack. The wi-fi is hit-or-miss where we are, and our cell phones aren’t working.
Olivia had even bought a map for me to use while I was speaking to the guards.
I was going to be alone in one of the SUVs. Olivia was now with Cole and council member Emerson in the SUV in front of us, and all of the items she brought me were in a bag at my feet.
I had checked them all out, and she made me smile.
The short black dress made it look like I was about to go hit the club, and I had cute black shoes to wear with it, I just hadn’t worn 4-inch heels for a while now.
I am only 33, but I still look mid 20’s. I have good genes from my parents.
In fact, when I am out with my older sons, people think that I am their older sister, right up until one of the boys gets in trouble. Then they realize I am their mom.
Brandon and Justin are NOT going to like her part of the plan at all. Olivia told me that no one was going to suspect a thing unless they saw lights moving around across the street.
She told me that the best thing to do was for me to pull up across the entrance to the gate so they won’t see the two black SUVs when they parked across the street, for them to search.
She insisted that they won’t see them searching for the phone at all because all eyes will be on me.
She gave me the name of the nightclub there in the city that I was trying to find, and that I will be singing there tonight, but I got lost.
She said that they will be so busy trying to mindlink someone to take over their shift so they can go see me. They won’t be paying any attention to what is going on across the street.
I hope she is right. I wanted Cheryl to be able to prove her innocence. I know Graham did it. He is an a*s, and I know for a fact that he did it, it totally sounds like him. I am nervous though.
She borrowed the dress from Simone, and the shoes too. We are the same height, and basically the same size. I do not know about the shoes though.
I can count on both hands how many times I have worn heels this high. I am already tall, and they are uncomfortable, I would much rather have my slides, sandals, or tennis shoes on.
I already know for a fact that seeing me dressed like this is going to set both of my mates off. I can absolutely guarantee it. They will not want me wandering around in this.
I have been wearing exercise clothes, jeans, or shorts for the last 15 years. I rarely dress up, and when I do it is usually because Justin bought a beautiful dress, that he wanted to see me in.
But I don’t have to wear high-heeled shoes, because we are still in our own room while I am wearing the dress. If I look good enough tonight maybe I will wear back to the packhouse for them.
I am sure that they will both approve of it. They still love and want me, even after 15 years, and that really makes me the happiest out of everything.
I will slip into the woods with Olivia to watch over me, and then she is going to help me get the wig on right. I have no idea how to do it myself.
I am getting a little excited for my men to see me in it. We get there pretty quickly and the men started going over the plan.
Who was driving, who was riding with who, and that the drivers had to make sure that they had all their people before leaving. My part was easy, distraction.
I can tell this dress was skintight, as I pulled the slim sleeves down to take off my sports bra. I left my underwear on and this dress was hugging all my curves.
Brandon and Justin were definitely not going to be happy about this at all. I got the shoes on, and yea, I do not miss wearing them at all.
Olivia goes right to work and has me bend forward so she can wind my hair up and put it under the wig cap.
Here goes nothing, I think to myself as Olivia has me bend forward and she starts at the back and then slides the wig over my head.
I feel a little weird, as the hair falls in place and Olivia pulls out a comb to smooth it down. This is much more hair than I usually have on my head, and I think that is what my problem was with it.
This wig is a beautiful red and is even longer than my actual hair, going all the way down my back to my waist.
I looked at Olivia who handed me a bold red lipstick and told me to apply it as she made sure my hair looked presentable. “How do I look?” I asked Olivia as she smiled at me. “You look stunning.
I can’t wait for Brandon and Justin to see you in it” Olivia said with a smile as I packed my sports bra and my tennis shoes back into the bag.
I smiled at Olivia as she said, “Just give me 1 minute to get out there OK.
I just want to get to where I have a good spot to stand, so I can see them when they first get their eyes on you.”
I must be unrecognizable then, and I give a laugh as I waited for her to head over to the group.
I see her get her phone out to record, so I guess she wanted to capture this for me to see them too.
It was getting just past dusk now, and they didn’t see me at first as I crossed from the tree line to approach the group. Brandon was pointing at the map and where he wanted everyone to be parked.
I could hear him reiterate that the boys, Kevin and Jax, could not be left behind. That they were to ride with Cole, Olivia, and council member Emerson when they left.
Our SUV, the one I was going to be driving, was going to be the last vehicle, along with one that held 5 warriors from my dad’s pack, that had joined us for this trip.
We were going to run interference if we needed to, as all five men were armed, just like we were. Even if Blake did come out, he would think twice about messing with the council member.
I could tell when some of the warriors noticed me and then more and more of the others turned to see what they were looking at, as they were clearly not listening to instructions anymore.
Brandon kept giving out instructions and I see Justin stiffen up to his full height and take me in with a lazy gaze on my body. He always enjoys seeing me dressed up.
I have to admit it is an ego boost. I saw him tap Brandon with his elbow. Brandon looked up to see me standing there, and the deep growl that resonated from him curled my toes in the shoes.
He was able to clear his mind quickly and said, “No, no way, Raven. I know you want to not be recognized, but this, this is too much” he said as he approached me with Justin right behind him.
They each leaned down to take in my scent as they were both getting wound up. Justin said, “Please, please tell me that you are willing to wear this all the way home too.
You are always hot, but I have never seen you in anything like this before.” He pushed the hair back from my shoulder and nipped his mark on my shoulder.
I had to hold in the moan, as we are not alone out here. “I agree. I would like to see this dress on our floor as well” Brandon said and I smiled and nodded at them both.
Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to be a redhead for a night, couldn’t hurt. I had to stop myself from biting my lip, I would get lipstick on my teeth.
I see my dad trying to hold in a laugh as Brandon and Justin’s focus was only on me now, and not on passing out instructions to the group anymore.
Dad took over as they stood on either side of me, and didn’t even try to hide the fact that they had a lot of interest in the outfit.
It is nice for the reminder that I am not just a mom or their mate, but a living breathing woman that they both still found desirable. I heard, “Gross.
Dad you know that we can still hear you” come from Jax. Thankfully the sound of Kevin’s laughter at Jax’s remark made everyone laugh, as we got the plans down for tonight.
“Cole the plans have changed a little. Instead of your warrior driving the SUV belonging to Black Moon, it will be Justin and me in it. We can’t allow our mate to be that close to unmated wolves.
If they try anything we need to be there to let them know it would be a bad idea to approach her” Brandon called out to my dad, who smiled and said, “I completely understand guys, I happen to love a beautiful redhead myself.”
“Yes, that way we are riding back to Black Adder together,” Justin said to me in the shell of my ear.
His warm breath made me shiver a little. The warriors were mumbling, and I caught the words, “They are so lucky” as everyone went to the vehicles that they needed to be in.
Three of the SUVs would leave before us. They needed to get further down the road so they could turn around and double back our way.
They could only park to start the search after I blocked them from the gate guard’s view. One of the warriors was going to use his flashlight when we go to leave.
It will take them a minute to scale the wall to come after us and we may have to throw the keys away to make it harder for them with opening the gate.
But I plan on being able to pull an “I’m so confused” act out as I try to get them to help me find the nightclub. I am not nervous. I just wanted this to be done quickly and we get out of here.
We had about 5 minutes before they will start to suspect something. I plan on dragging my feet as I walked up to the gate.
I send a quick prayer up to the Goddess that we get away with this safely, and that everyone makes it back to their pack with no problems. Kevin knew his mom’s former cell number by heart.
He told us that once he and his siblings started to leave the pack, they had to know both parent’s numbers and Beta Garrett’s too. Just in case of emergency.
He already programmed the number in my dad’s phone. When the drop dead time hits, we need to be able to find that phone. We will call it to locate it if we need to.
I know that I need to not shut my engine off, the noise from my engine will cover the noise from the SUV that we are delivering back to Black Moon.
Everyone is ready to go now, and dad called me to tell me that it was show time. I was not scared, Justin and Brandon will be right behind me when I get there.
There are excellent fighters who would protect me to the death, so I had no worries at all. I slowly pulled up and acted like I was lost, and slowly got out of the SUV with my map and a pen.
They would scent that I was a she-wolf and that I was alone, as I left the windows down on my SUV.
That let them know that I knew what this place was and that I knew I would be safe here to get directions.
Justin was pulling slowly up the road, and then pulling over onto the grass to drive and park about 40 feet back from my truck, right next to the wall.
Brandon was out of the truck by the time Justin was about to fully stop. “I am so sorry to bother you, but do you know how to get to the Lycan Lounge, in Clarksville?
The coverage out here is really spotty, and I can’t get a signal. I had this map in the glove compartment, but I can’t read it.
I mean, who knows how to read a map these days?” I said to the two men at the gate. There were two more men in the shack behind them, and once they saw me, they hurried over to help me too.
‘I can read a map. But I know where the club is. You are on the right way to get there” one of the younger men said to me and pushed through the two that were already at the Gate to help me.
“We can’t let you in here miss, but I can show you where you are. Do you have any paper? I can write it down for you?” Another man stepped up to assist me.
I heard the two SUVs stop on the other side of the road, but the men didn’t hear it because they were arguing back and forth with each other about the directions that they were trying to give me, and not suspecting that I posed any danger to them.
I just kept up the pretense, as they had no idea that I could take out all four of them before they realized what was happening. “I don’t need to come in there, I wasn’t trying to disturb you all.
I just realized that this was a pack so I turned around and came back to see if I could just get some help. I don’t want to be late. I am singing tonight, I am supposed to take the stage at 9 pm.
I will be late if I can’t find it. I just need to know how to get there, without wrecking as I can’t drive while looking at this map” I told them and pretended to be frustrated.
They proceeded to start arguing about the best route for me to take to get there again, when all of a sudden one of them said, “What is your name?”
Such an innocent question.
But I was not expecting it, so I said the first thing to pop into my mind, “Jessica.” I felt like Jessica Rabbit, so I might as well steal her name too. “That is a beautiful name.
I hope that you will come back to sing there again one night. I wish I could get someone to trade out with me. I would ride up there with you so you could make it there safely.
Next time you can let me know when you are going to be up there. I wrote my name and cell number at the top of the map.
You can just bring me with you next time to keep you safe, you can just drop me back off here when we are done” the youngest one said. He could only be like 20, or 21, years old.
I have a son just across the street that is only 5 years younger than him. So the blush that graced my cheeks was a natural one.
He thought he was charming me, instead of the actual embarrassment that I was feeling about his offer. I caught what he was throwing. He was going to stay with me all night.
He didn’t even try to hide what he was hinting at as he tossed that offer right out there for me.
I knew we had about a minute before Justin, or Brandon, couldn’t take it and ended up exploding in anger at this young man.
“I am sorry, I have a mate,” I said and pushed my hair back to expose my mark, no need for overkill by showing them both marks, and plus, that would identify me too.
“That doesn’t bother me, Jessica,” he replied back and then winked at me. I already knew what was about to happen.
I saw the movement before they did and stepped back quickly as Justin pulled up and then parked the SUV right in front of their gate.
Two of the guards were immediately yelling at Justin and me, while the other two were mindlinking and calling for backup. Brandon and Justin were pissed and spoiling for a fight.
“It bothers me though junior. Here are the keys to it. It belongs to your pack anyway.
I am just returning it for your former Luna” Justin said as he threw the keys well over the wall toward a group of trees far away from their shack.
Brandon came out and grabbed me possessively and gave a low and dangerous growl back at the gate guards.
“Get in the truck,” Justin said to me as he turned to run around to the driver’s seat to adjust the seat back for him to drive. I hopped in the back and Brandon got in the front passenger seat.
Justin whipped the SUV around to the other side of the road, by driving slowly across the median of the road. Brandon jumped out to go help them search for the phone.
We could all hear it playing in an area of taller weeds and Jax and Kevin ran over to find it. I was very thankful that it had enough battery to still be on, or we would have never found it.
I can hear two vehicles driving up to the gates, as Justin had left the windows down as I had them when I pulled up.
The vehicles were coming at a high rate of speed and a short time later I see a handsome man climbing up the gate to see what we were doing.
I can see him frantically looking around and his eyes stop when they get to Kevin who was now standing there holding his mom’s phone in the air like a trophy. I bet this is Blake, but I was not sure.
“Kevin, Kevin, please come back. I am so sorry for everything. I know you are my son. I will make it up to you and your mother. Just please come back to me.
I have arrested Graham, and everything will be different from now on if you will just come back. I am so sorry son, I am proud of you. I have been for a while.
I just allowed my jealousy of thinking that you were not mine, I was crazy with jealousy and it made me mess everything up. Please, Kevin, come back to me” the man called out. I guess this is Blake.
“It doesn’t matter anymore, Alpha. You said you have three pups, and you do. You don’t have to worry about me anymore. I have found where I am supposed to be. Don’t worry about mom either.
She almost died and she is still 50/50 right now on if she will survive what all you and Graham put her through. I will never leave her when she was the only one to care for me for the last 7 years.
Bye, dad” Kevin said to his father. It did not escape anyone’s notice that he said “dad” both times in a very sarcastic manner, before he jumped into my dad’s SUV right behind Jax, to leave.
We all heard the roar of pain, and fury, as he sees Brandon who is clearly lit up by the headlights of our SUV. He got further illuminated by the headlights of the SUV that my dad’s warriors were in.
They had been at the top of the hill to provide cover for us in case Black Moon started firing on us.
I am sure that Blake is pissed, even more so at Brandon’s pack being the one she ran to for protection.
All the SUVs head out and Justin stays at the back so he and Brandon can look out for any headlights following us as we leave the area.
We knew that the warriors had gone to look for them to be able to move the SUV we dumped right on the doorstep.
I saw that his dad made it over the fence, phased in the air as he jumped off the roof of the SUV blocking the pack entrance. He chased us for miles, but he couldn’t keep up with us.
We were doing over 80 to get out of the area. He had no chance to follow us. We stopped when we got to the city, and Jax and Kevin got into our SUV, as we split up to go back to our separate packs.
The boys were in the back talking and Brandon leaned forward to go through the phone and sent the audio file to all three of our phones.
Kevin didn’t know what all had happened as far as graham’s plans for him. It was for his mother to decide if she wanted to tell him. She may now have ever wanted him to know.
I cannot believe how well Kevin did tonight. Most kids, even when they have been mistreated would have run back, wanting the love and care they had been denied all this time.
But clearly, this young man knew what all his mom went through to get him to freedom, to get him safely away from his pack.
He probably never knew that his life had actually been in danger, but he was smart. Things like that have a way of getting out, and being exposed.
I heard the pain and the sorrow in his father’s voice. He was really going to make changes. He had Graham locked up and he seemed serious about what he had said.
He didn’t try to hide anything and he saw that there were several people out of the SUVs. He had to know that we knew what had happened at Black Moon.
He never tried to deny it, just took the opportunity to beg Kevin to come back to him, and to bring his mother back too. I am going to mention it to her. She deserves to know.
Knowing that he acknowledged his mistake, and was correcting it, may change things for them, but I doubted it. I had the same bottom line myself. He took it too far.
Just remembering that first time I saw Justin sleeping with Reagan, made me upset quickly. Even to this day, it was a very disgusting thing to remember happening. I knew Justin could feel my emotions.
He didn’t know what upset me, but he was worried about me. I smiled as he reached out to take my hand. I really hated it at first when the Goddess gave Justin back to me.
But after a while, I realized that the Goddess giving Justin back to me was actually a gift. He was a wonderful father and mate. I cannot imagine my life without him.
They had the gate open for us as we pulled in, and I know that either Brandon or Justin had mindlinked them to notify them that we were almost back.
Both gates were secured back behind us, and the ground plates were brought up and ready to go to keep the solid gate from budging. I know why Brandon stepped into the light, he doesn’t hide.
He wants Black Moon to come here. He wants them to attack because he is going to end it right now. He is forgetting that there was a second pack the Goddess warned us about.
At this time, I am sure that it is Blood Tracker, but until we have confirmation of that, we will wait, and watch them both. We will continue to train our people, and prepare them for war.
We still had a five-year window before conditions were supposed to be where the Goddess was warning us.
We will wait, we will prepare and train, until we are ready on our side, so we can take it out of their hands and attack them ourselves if we need to.
