                    Raven’s POV
I see the boys come out from behind the SUV, and I wonder how long they have been here with us. I see Brandon and Justin looking at them and they mindlinked to ask.
I see both their lips press together in anger and I bet the answer is almost this whole time. I shake my head and look back at Blake who is stunned at what his son said to him. He shouldn’t be.
Kevin lived it. He lived with getting bullied and picked on for a long time. I knew what he went through. I too was born to an Alpha who treated me like s**t.
I said the same thing to Graham, as soon as I had been given the opportunity and a safe space to be able to do it in after I escaped from Silver Blade.
“Kevin, I am sorry that I picked Forest over you. I miss you” I see the middle child with Blake calling out to Kevin. I saw how excited he got when Kevin came out before I turned to see who was there.
I see Kevin glance over at him and give him a small smile before focusing on his father again. I see the anger flare back up in his eyes. I know the feeling. I was raised by Graham.
I am fully aware of the man he is, and just how despicable he can be. “We will not be leaving with you, Alpha Blake, so you can stop wasting all of our time, and just go back to Black Moon.
You made your choice over and over again. It was the same one. You choose everyone but mom and me. You wanted them” Kevin motions towards his brothers and sister “and I am OK with your choices.
Because they are yours to make. I realized after I got here, that my worth is not what any of you thought of me.
I have had more support here, and more positive interactions here in 4 days, than I have had in the last 4 years at Black Moon. So yea, Graham can be punished.
Go ahead and punish him for everything he did. Punish him for all of us, for what he chose to do to us. But if you think that will make any difference to mom, or me, you are mistaken.
You can’t fix years of abuse dad. You can’t because you did this to us. You willingly allowed your pack to abuse us. You didn’t keep what was going on between you and mom.
You told the whole pack, you made her look bad in front of them. She had to put up with too much. She was ridiculed and embarrassed every single day.
By the ranked wolves that you love so much, and now I hear that two of them are directly responsible for why it happened. Mom didn’t do anything, to anyone while we were there.
The only mistake she made was the mistake of loving you and accepting you as her chosen mate. You didn’t care when you allowed the abuse to happen to her, or me, either.
Yea, I won’t be giving you the chance to do it, because as far as I am concerned the choices that you made, led us here.
Stop blaming Graham for you not having the Goddess given sense to stop, and think for yourself. Because that is all on you.
Not mom, not me, that was you” Kevin said and I can feel his pain as he said it. My tears come back. My sweet boy wanted to defend me. I tried to hide it the best I could from him. I did.
I wanted him to have a normal childhood. I wanted him to be appreciated and valued just like his brothers and sister were. But I failed.
I failed to protect him from a monster, one who turned his own father against him. Maybe I should have killed Graham. Years ago before we even got to this point.
But hindsight is always clearer than when you are in the moment. I might have killed him, but I would have probably been killed for doing it. Who would have taken care of Kevin then?
No, I made the right choice. Graham will eventually figure out exactly why I killed Cassandra. Then he will have to live with the knowledge that he was the one who pulled the trigger.
I may have physically done it, but it was all to pay him back for what he had done to my family. He pushed me to punish him, and I did what I had to do.
His choices have consequences, and Goddess willing before he dies, he will learn that very valuable lesson. “Kevin, I swear to the Goddess that I have made changes already.
I made them the day that you left. I got rid of all my girlfriends. I was going to get rid of Kara too, but your mom beat me to it.
I promise you that from now on, I will be the father that you deserve. I am proud of you. The fact that you just kept training, and getting stronger, even without my encouragement.
You are my son, you are strong, and I will make sure that if you come back we will all start over again. No extras at our table. I will apologize to your mom, and you, in front of the whole pack.
I was going to let your mom kill Graham, but you can if you want to. Whatever I need to do to make you happy, I will do it. I had a broken heart because I felt you were not mine.
I wanted you to be, and in dealing with this whole situation, I struggled a lot. I was not thinking clearly. I am sorry, I was wrong and I will make it up to both of you.
I want you to come home, with me, son” Blake had turned and was facing Kevin. Blake was still on his knees and holding the bars like he wanted to rip them open.
I could tell that he wanted to just come in here to take us back home. I could tell that Blake was serious about what he said. He did want us to come back. But to what?
A pack that would grudgingly accept us. I have been shamed, for almost 7 years, since Graham put his plan into play.
It has been over 6 years since my own mate told the whole pack of my betrayal of him. Six years of the whole pack calling my son a bastard. And for what? For Blake to be revered and celebrated.
His whole pack gives him sympathy for what all he has had to go through and endure. Because his mate is a cheater, or so they were told. We already had enough against us when we arrived.
People know who we were. They knew we had a price on our heads. There was nothing we could do to protect ourselves there, what makes us think that it couldn’t happen again?
“I did make changes, you can ask your brothers or sister. I stopped with the other girls. Graham said all the Alphas do it.
I will send them to Aaron’s pack if I need to, so you never have to look at them again. I just want you both to give me another chance.
I will not fail you again, Cheryl, I swear it” Blake speaks again and allows the pain he is feeling to pour out. I feel it, I know he is hurting, but Goddess, it has only been four days.
I haven’t even cheated on him. This reminds me, we need to cover that before he leaves. “I, Cheryl Peters, former Luna of the Black Moon pack, reject you Blake Adams, Alpha of the Black Moon pack.
I rescind any and all connections to Black Moon. I refuse to return there for any reason” I told him, and Blake grabs at his heart and slumps down from the pain of it.
I hurt too, but I am managing it. “I refuse to accept it, Cheryl. You are my Luna, I will never have another. I will return until you decide to allow me to have another chance.
Just know this, I know you complain about the pain I gave you when I cheated, but you haven’t felt it, have you? I stopped.
I stopped that morning before you left after I saw you trying to hide your tears from me. I felt horrible about what I have done. I did, I swore to make things right for you that moment, and I will.
I will keep Graham alive, until the day you and Kevin come home. We can kill him together if you want, for the acts against us. But I will not stop until my dying breath Cheryl.
You have been the only woman in my heart. The only woman that I have ever loved. I refuse to stop until you admit that you still love me too, and come back home. Please baby, please don’t reject me.
I cannot live without you. I will be back a month from today. I will try again and again each and every month. I will never give up on you.
I swear that I still love and want you Cheryl” Blake called out to me. “Blake, I believe that your idea of love, and mine, are very different. Graham chose you for a reason.
He knew you would follow what he said. He tried to plant seeds of doubt in me too, and I refused to believe him. I refused to accept that you would do anything to hurt me.
I even set myself up, in my confidence at my believing that we were so tight, so impenetrable, that he could never hurt us. Imagine my surprise at being wrong.
Graham did try to tug that line with me, but the difference was I knew that type of pain. The pain you feel when your mate is with another.
I felt it when you were with Reagan, that was how I knew you had cheated. I knew that you hadn’t since, and I told him to leave us alone.
But no matter how many times I asked you if you had felt that pain when you were accusing me of cheating, you blew it off. How bad could it be? How much could it hurt?
Always acting like I am a hypochondriac when I knew you had been with another. But how would I have known if I hadn’t felt that level of pain? Fine, do not accept the rejection.
I suffered so much, that I can work through it when it does eventually come back. Remember? You like to remind me of your higher s*x drive because you are an Alpha. You need it more than I do, right?
Even though we had gone almost 15 years without you cheating on me. I was enough for you, at one point. But after what you did to me. The humiliation, shame, and dishonor that you heaped on my head.
You made me the laughingstock of the pack. It doesn’t matter if you took it back now. The contempt that you allowed the pack to show me, I am sorry, Blake.
The damage has been done, and you did it willingly to me.
I refuse to go back, I refuse to allow Kevin to go back where he had to carry that stigma for all these years” I told him, and I cannot contain my pain.
“I do not know any of your backstory with Cheryl. But I will tell you that I think that she is a wonderful woman who deserved to be treated with love, and respect.
Two things that I think you are sadly lacking. I wanted to tell you that once she is healed from all you have put her through, I plan on letting her know my intentions toward her.
I feel her stress and anxiety right now, and I do not want to add to it. I just wanted you to know that after she is no longer my patient, I plan on asking her out.
I plan on showing her how a real man treats someone that he cares about. Because you haven’t, at least not lately, and I think that your time with her, is up.
It is time for her to find someone better. I am glad that the Goddess allowed her to make it to us. I honestly don’t know how she did it, other than just sheer willpower.
There is no way that you couldn’t see that she was wasting away. Unless you just didn’t care about her health and well-being.
From the sounds of it, she would have died at your pack, as they would have had no reason to save her. You surely didn’t let your pack know that they needed to take care of her.
She couldn’t have been eating much, she is 40 lbs. underweight. She is literally skin and bones. I am not making a threat to you. I care for her, and I plan on learning more about her.
As far as I am concerned, you have lost all rights to her. You should have accepted the rejection she offered.
But I think that you getting a chance to feel exactly what it feels like to be betrayed, might be the very best thing for you.
Maybe then you would have more compassion for a lady who has done nothing wrong except pick the wrong man to love” Dr. Max said, and I looked up at him and I know my eyes were huge with the shock of his announcement.
He has always been kind to me, more so than any of the rest of the staff there, but I have to say that I didn’t see it coming. “Do NOT touch my mate. I will kill you for doing it.
Alpha Brandon, I swear to the Goddess if that happens I will bring my men to your gates and attack” Blake said to Brandon. He had made sure to glare at Dr. Max first, and Blake was pissed.
Brandon shrugged and said, “If you think you can beat us, go ahead and attack. I cannot stand what has happened to her. She had paid much more of a price than she ever should have.
I feel terrible for that for her. If she decides to date Dr. Max, I will not stop them. They are grown, adults. I just heard that you had not 1, but 5 girlfriends.
Seems you were so busy you never saw what was happening in front of your face to your mate. I could tell at first glance that she was seriously ill.
There is honestly no excuse that you could have to make me think that this happened overnight.
This was probably the result of over 6 months of her being so sickened by what you were doing to her, that she couldn’t hold down her food. Her being sick, is all on you.
Do not threaten me, or my pack members. I take war seriously, and I already have a feeling it very well may come down to it anyway.
Oh, and just so you know, Graham lied, he cheated on his Luna, but I have never cheated on mine.”
I didn’t understand fully what Brandon was saying, but I knew that they had been training for a war to come, and I am praying that I am not the cause of it.
I would rather go back to Black Moon with Blake than for me being here to bring the war to their door. “You accused her and just glossed over the lack of pain you had, Blake.
You never felt it, and once you feel it, believe me, you will never forget it. It is a pain like no other. I cannot imagine what Cheryl felt at your hands.
You wanted the support, and sympathy, of your pack. You wanted them to know what all you had to deal with as you had been cheated on.
They all believed you, you are the Alpha, so why would you lie to them? It may have been made up, and they may be aware of it now, but the stigma that Cheryl carries at Black Moon cannot be erased.
She was bullied by everyone there. Sorry, doesn’t cover it. I cannot see how you can stand there, and want her to forgive you for years of torment and abuse.
You have barely dealt with her being gone for four days, yet you felt not one ounce of remorse for your actions.
It is disgraceful that you keep blaming Graham, when all you had to do, was stop and think for yourself. Stop trying to guilt her into coming back with you.
Stop trying to use your children who have clearly been bribed to try to beg her back. I have seen this before. My sister used to do the same thing. All in an effort for her to get more stuff.
The truth is you finally wised up to how badly YOU messed up. How badly things are going to go from here out, for you.
I may not know the whole story, but I know my sister enough to know that she pisses some people off. She kind of has a knack for it. Have you punished them? The men who set her up.
The very ones who got this ball rolling by getting her attacked at her new pack after you ended up making her a breeder? Getting Graham to make up a plan of vengeance for her.
If I knew it had happened, I could have warned you. Graham only cares about very few things.
He cares about Cassandra and Reagan, oh and his money, so three things” Raven tells him and he looks at her without speaking.
We can all tell that he is angry, but he cannot argue with what she has said, because she is right. She hit the nail on the head because he hadn’t. He had done nothing to them.
Even when we first heard of what happened, and didn’t fully know that they had such a big hand in it.
Michael had told Aaron and his men the lies that Garrett and Marc told him, right before he was killed. Garrett and Marc hated Reagan, for whatever reason and felt that she deserved what she got.
So Reagan has to live her life scarred up, all because they wanted her to get even more punishment than she had already been dealt.
They were clearly vicious when it came to Reagan, which is laughable to even think of how her situation could have been worse. They wanted her more punished, than her becoming a breeder.
There is something wrong with them, as that is the worst thing that you can be made to do. I had even tried to talk Blake out of it, to just make it be Aaron, and one other of her choosing.
That would have made it easier, but he was so angry, he just wouldn’t bend. I wanted her punished, and I only tried once to talk him out of it, but he was angry.
So angry that he wouldn’t listen to reason. s*x is different for women than it is for men.
It is much more intimate for us, plus we have the right to refuse to sleep with anyone we don’t want to sleep with.
Men can detach themselves from it, excuse their own bad behavior, and still claim they “love” us after doing it. “Blake, I may not know the whole story between you either, but I do know this.
I am willing to bet that those men are still wandering around, happy and free from any punishment. You got rid of your “official girlfriends” but did they get punished? They hurt your Luna too.
Do you not have any bylaw’s there to protect the Luna? I am betting you don’t. Their giving respect to women who are NOT the Luna, to their Luna’s face, is a punishable act.
Yet, I suspect they have received no repercussions for their actions. They dodged the punishment that was coming from Graham at this point. Graham is many things, but stupid isn’t one of them.
His big plan was probably to take you down, first, and get you out of the way. Then he would take control of the pack by using your men as a front for the council after you go crazy.
Don’t worry though, he would have gotten around to punishing the two of them, but it looks like now they will dodge their punishment altogether. I can understand why Cheryl cannot believe you.
You may have told the girls that they are over, that you will no longer be with them.
But yet they are still there, in your pack, an act that lets everyone know that they still have some pull with you.
That you cannot bear to let them go, which enforces the thought process that you will be with them again. They are not going to leave you alone.
They will try to get you back if you couldn’t stop yourself from sleeping with them before, how are you going to a week from now? A month from now? A year from now?
But the men who got this whole thing started, who were the root cause of Graham’s vendetta against you both, haven’t gotten any punishment at all. It is a slap in the face to Cheryl.
Don’t come back here, Blake, there is no point in it. Don’t waste her time, or ours. Not until you make some sweeping changes, and can show her that you are serious about it, why bother?
They both know where the pack is, and if they ever wanted to return to Black Moon, we will bring them there ourselves.
But please don’t insult our intelligence by trying to act like you got anything at all done there” Raven told him, and her tone brokered no argument.
I saw the look on Blake’s face, I saw that he was going to anyway. “What would you have had me do? Cheryl left me, and I cannot focus, my mind is only on her, and Kevin. I cannot sleep at night.
I can’t do my paperwork because I miss her so much. Graham had been trying for years to get me to sleep with them, any of them, for over two years before I actually did it.
I fought against it, against him, for over two years. Because I was loyal to Cheryl. It wasn’t just like I fell into bed with them.
If I didn’t know better I would have sworn he was in on it with them” Blake said and then stopped speaking as it hit him. His eyes fly straight up to mine.
He then looks over to Raven who nods her head like she is proud of him because he finally got it. I never thought of it, but it is entirely possible.
If Blake fought Graham for over 2 years on this, Graham probably took Blake’s unwillingness out of the equation to put his plan back into motion.
But that would mean that his little girlfriends have been involved in it too. I bet that has been a very rude awakening. “I will investigate this new information, and I will be back in a month.
I will have answers for you at that time. Please, Cheryl, do not make any rash decisions before then” Blake said to me, and then pointedly looked at Dr. Max. Max didn’t flinch or look guilty.
He also didn’t blink or break eye contact with Blake. That was a clear indication to Blake that he was not going to listen to him or obey him at all.
Blake was angry at the disrespect, but he had things to do himself. I could see that he had never thought of it before.
If I had known that Graham was on him to cheat on me for this long, I might have asked him about how it started myself.
I would not put it past Kara, and unfortunately for him, Kara is no longer available to answer anything.
I know that he is going to make some changes, but it would mean more if he had come up with it himself, instead of Raven having to lead him there when she heard what he had said.
Just because he realizes what he has done now, doesn’t negate all he has done to me over the past several years.
I will wait and see, but to be honest, I no longer have faith in him, his ranked wolves, or his pack. But since I am not ready to rush into another relationship right now.
He has some time to do whatever he thinks will matter to me to fix this. But after all this time, I just cannot see it helping either one of us to move past this.
The trauma I had to deal with, might just be too much for me to overcome. Chapter 127
Blake’s POV
Goddess, I am so angry. How did that not occur to me?
He is Reagan’s dad, and she did it to me, so it is entirely possible that he did it too. That a*****e is going to deserve what he gets.
I mindlinked Garrett and Marc, as they already know what they are looking for, and told them to go check Graham and Cassandra’s home for a drug like Reagan had used.
I am quite sure that the girls would have it on them too, I wasn’t around Graham so he probably gave them their own pills to keep me in line. I will have them go to Kara’s room next to sweep it.
Then after they show Brady and Travis what we are looking for, we will hit the girlfriend’s apartments to search.
I am so sure that they will find something, I cannot believe that it didn’t occur to me sooner. I already have the mental plans in place for the next step.
I will have them take the girls down and put them on the other side of the cells. If I can keep Graham from knowing what is coming, I want to.
I am so angry right now, and then I noticed that I had accidentally bent the steering wheel. My children are not speaking as we fly back home. I need to get this dealt with, and now.
How embarrassing is this? To be drugged by those sluts to get me to sleep with them. This was worse than the Reagan incident as far as I am concerned.
I will have to have my men with me or I really will beat Graham to death. I don’t want to free him that quickly. I forced myself to calm down.
“Are mom and Kevin really not coming back to the pack?” I heard Robert ask me quietly from the back seat. “I don’t know yet, son. I hope she does, I hope they both do.
I have not been good to either of them for a while, and they will not be easy to convince. I need to show your mom that I have truly changed, and prove it to her.
I hope that she is willing to give me another chance. I can promise you all that I will do what I can to bring them both home.
I miss them too” I told them, and Robert nodded to me in the rearview mirror. He accepted the answer that I gave him.
I will have to work to point out all the things that their mother did for them, that they never even noticed. They need to speak up, on their own, and beg her back.
Casey gave me a weak smile, and I can see that she is upset that they didn’t just come back with us. She is probably also upset at how bad their mother looked.
She used to have her hair up in a ponytail all the time, but for the last few months, she has just left it down.
With it up in that ponytail today, I could see how slim her neck was, how frail she truly was. That stupid doctor was right, she was dying right in front of me, and I could care less about it.
That wasn’t normal behavior for me. I might have cheated on her, but I have always loved and cared for her. I just may not have shown her the same care in the last few years.
All because I was a jealous i***t. I will not let that doctor just swoop in, and take her from me. He was pissing me off with that, and Cheryl not even realizing that he liked her.
Goddess, she needs to pay more attention. I don’t want him to have the opportunity to charm the pants off of her.
I remember the threat that she made to me in the note she left me the day they ran away. Cheryl has always been so strong and it pain of what I was doing to her, is what took her down.
I am not looking forward to feeling it myself. I am not going to lose my mate, the woman that I have cared for more than any other, to some freaking doctor. I will not allow it to happen.
I meant every word of what I said, but after so much was said in front of the children, I think that I will leave them at home for my next trip.
We do not need to speak so openly about what all happened, but I know that Forest knew what was happening, hell they all did. I made no secret about it.
Even going so far as to make out with them at the table, in front of my family. I believe that I will come alone, and bring her favorite flowers.
Get something special for her, maybe like an engagement ring to help keep the men away from her. I will have to find out what flowers are her favorites again, maybe Billie can help me with that.
I will look at pictures of our first 5 years together. I surprised her all the time with flowers. I made her a priority, and I haven’t for a long time.
Raven might not need to be in our business, but her words were the slap in the face that I needed. She was correct, I let work, and so many other things get in the way of my mate.
She was always there, in the background, making sure everything was the best it could be for me and our pups.
Graham swore that no matter what we did to her, she wouldn’t leave because she loved me so much. He really meant that she wouldn’t leave because she was trapped, and couldn’t leave.
I kept her on a tight leash, not letting her go places, and where could she have gone? They were still being looked for after all this time. She was trapped, and I was blind to that too.
I listened to Graham because it made me feel better to think that she stayed here because she loved me. I was better that the fact that she stayed here because she had nowhere else to turn.
I am glad that she gave Graham the same slap in the face he gave her. I taught her an eye for an eye mentality. I got the first link back before I even made it halfway back home.
“We found it, they are little pills, and they were in the kitchen cabinets. He didn’t even try to hide them” Garrett told me through the link. “OK, thanks for the heads up.
Grab Grady and Travis and go toss Kara’s room to see if you can find them there too. I didn’t hang out with Graham, so the girls had to have been dosing me and I wasn’t aware.
Once you find what you are looking for, just go and have some warriors take the other 4 girls down to the cells. Wait, change that, take the warriors to their rooms first.
I don’t want them to have time to hide the pills or get rid of them. You can have a warrior stand by at Kara’s room, while you search the other girl’s rooms.
I have a feeling that they will have them too. I do not want to give them a head’s up that they have been found out.
They were probably planning on laying low for a little while and then starting up again by dosing me. That is done now. Graham is going to have hell to pay this time.
I cannot believe that he would be so low. I am halfway home, let me know if you find anything else” I mindlink back to Garrett.
He tells me he will give me an update as soon as they check the girl’s rooms. I will have to think of a proper punishment for Garrett and Marc.
Raven was absolutely right, if not for their interference with Michael we would have had no real involvement at all in what happened.
Things would have been totally different as she might not have been attacked. Yes, she would have still been a breeder, but she liked every one of them, with the exception of Michael.
He was very rough with her, as he was trying to punish her. He did that based on what they had told him. They told him that she had drugged other men in my pack.
That it wasn’t just me that she had drugged. They also implied it had been his good friend Travis, that had been drugged too. She never drugged Travis, he wanted Reagan.
He wanted to claim her as his chosen mate. He was just too scared to go against us all.
I have to admit that I was mad at what she had done, I was furious that she almost cost me my mate and my firstborn pup. My children were important to me.
Everyone in the pack knew it too, I was over the moon happy about us having pups. I was furious, so I punished her in the harshest way that I could think of, I made her a breeder.
Was that bad, yea, it was. But I think she earned it, she went around and took the consent away from others, so I felt it fitting to give the same thing back to her. It worked out for her.
Clive loves her more than anything. Sometimes I think that Aaron loves her too, even with having his true mate.
The way he speaks about her is the tip-off for me, he respects her, he listens to her, and he values her opinion. Much more than he values his own mate’s opinions.
I have not seen her for 15 years, but I have heard that she has changed a lot, she became a good mother, which shocked the hell out of me and Cheryl, to be honest.
I know she pissed off Eloise a while back, from what Aaron said the last time he was here, Reagan was in the right for it.
He said that Reagan is a great fighter and she challenged Eloise to fight to the death to be Luna. Aaron said if Eloise had accepted it, she would have definitely lost her life.
He seemed a little disappointed about it. I thought that with Eloise being an Alpha’s daughter that she would be able to fight, but I remember Reagan couldn’t fight when she got here either.
Cheryl had to protect her from Sierra. It was what caught my eye, my mate is a badass and I am so proud of her.
Aaron was upset that his pups with Reagan went to live with her, but he told me that it was the best place for them, until they could defend themselves against Eloise.
So without him saying what it was, I knew that Reagan had been in the right for her actions. That makes my heart clench thinking about how much I loved and respected Cheryl when I found her.
How much I really still do love her almost from the moment I met her. I chose her, and she was perfect for me, how did I let things get this far?
I swear to the Goddess, if Graham ends up costing me my mate, I will kill him. Slowly, and he will wish he was dead well before I take his pitiful life.
The kids are back on their tablets, they know I am focused on other things right now, and I am. Focused on exactly what I am going to be doing to 5 people as soon as I get back to Black Moon.
I didn’t give a damn about letting Black Adder know I have Graham in my cells. I am positive that they already knew that information. Just like I am sure that they know exactly where Reagan is too.
It is almost like they either don’t care, or have something else planned right now. I know whatever it is, the council will be involved with it. I will give Aaron a heads-up when I get a moment.
I will also help him with his vampire problem too.
I need to deal with my anger, and I am ready to kill them all right now, if I get back the report that I am sure that I am about to get, I will probably be getting my wish.
Another point was made, by Raven, about our bylaw and protecting the Luna, she was right. We have them, and they are very specific about things that are unacceptable to do in a pack.
Like affecting the relationship between the Alpha couple. This is an older pack. Some of their rules were less important than others, but they had good laws and protection for the Alpha and his Luna.
The pack was much smaller before I took over, but I never changed the bylaws in it. I felt that it was a good thing to leave them in place. Especially after I made Cheryl my chosen mate.
I wanted her to be protected as much as I was. I should have figured out this whole thing way faster than I did. “Blake, they are all in cells, and we just got through searching their rooms.
They had two different pills in each of their rooms. One of the pills was the same as in Graham’s home, and the other pills are different. Looks like ecstasy and the other one is unknown at this time.
You will either have to get them to tell you, or we need to send it off to be tested. Kara had both bottles in her room, too. Marc and I are going back out to Grahams to check it further.
We will take Brady and Travis out there with us to search again. We made a thorough search.
Knowing how sneaky and underhanded Graham is, we want to make a second sweep, with more of us to make sure we didn’t miss anything. It makes sense that he would be the one supplying it to them.
He should have a bigger bottle of his own probably in his bedroom, or bathroom. Marc and I are going back out there with Brady, and Travis to find it” Garrett linked me.
“I will be there in about 10 minutes. I would like some good news” I linked him back and cut the link. I slowed down my speed because I am almost too angry to concentrate.
I have plenty of time, as I was actually closer than the ETA I just gave them. I need to think about what I am going to do. I need to do something big.
Something that makes the whole pack aware of what had happened. Something that lets my mate know that I was played by Graham.
That I was tricked, to get where we were now, but I never intended to cheat on her. I had help, and we are going to get to the bottom of it.
But these girls will be made an example of for their willing participation in all of this. I guarantee that it will be a cautionary tale to the rest of the pack for the bad choices they made.
I bet he paid them, they knew the risk involved, and apparently, they thought that the reward for it would be worth it. We shall see because I will not just kill them.
I will think long and hard before I just let them off the hook like that. I started to think of what would be the best punishment for them when it hits me.
I believe that we can take care of two birds with one stone. I will have to let Aaron know that I have a solution to his problem as well. This is one problem that I will be happy to help him with.
I guess I will be seeing Reagan again, even if I never thought that I would. I guess I need to bury the hatchet with her. I bet she is going to be pissed when she sees me though.
If she already knows what happened, she will be. If not, I will tell her the whole, terrible story. I will make sure that she knows that is entirely her father’s fault.
She can come and get her mother’s body if she wants to bury it at Blood Tracker. I will allow that for her, I will also let her visit her father if she would like to at that same time.
I don’t know if he will actually get to the point of it being his own fault that Cassandra died if we don’t plant that seed ourselves. It will be my pleasure to do so, with him, and with Reagan too.
He needs to know that it is his fault, all the way around. It is his plotting to kill our son and break us apart, that made Cheryl run away from here.
But he has caused me, and Cheryl, a great deal of pain. He caused my son a lot of pain. I could see it in his eyes today. What I did to him, he will never forgive me for.
I hurt him so badly, he might not ever recover from it. I was glad to see that he had made friends. They seemed to be very protective of him.
I liked how they lined up with him in a V formation to show that if you messed with Kevin, you were messing with them.
It is breaking my heart to know that he has gotten more support from a place he has only been for four days, than at his own pack.
Yes, I plan on making those girls sorry that they ever agreed to the deal they made with Graham. I also plan on letting them know what their fate will be before it happens.
I will be moving them closer to his cell so that he will have no peace at all for those nights. I also need to go down and make sure that he is enjoying the new artwork that we have installed for him.
His wife was a beautiful she-wolf, as were his daughters. Let me rephrase, Regan and Raven were both beautiful.
Just like their mother, I know that he is enjoying the posters that we had made up of Cassandra.
They came out so well that I sent some of the pictures of him and Cassandra together, to be enlarged as well.
I left three framed pictures on the desk, so he can see the thought and care that she put into the frames. He may have even seen her place them with care into the frames.
He may have been trying to drive me mad, or insane, at the loss of my own mate. I was headed that way, at the start of it.
Now I am focused on getting him back for what he did, and getting my mate and son back to Black Moon. I swear to the Goddess even if she doesn’t agree to return here.
I would consider taking him to her, just for her to kill. I would do that for her. But first I will make him suffer. I was never a man that liked to torture people.
I prefer to just kill them, outright. But I have to say that I really like the way I am coming up with ways to punish those who have crossed me. I was a kinder Alpha with my Luna by my side.
I think that the years together made me fairer to my pack members, and kinder as well. She softened my hard edges, and they should have appreciated that about her.
I am not saying that regular pack members should have challenged me, but my ranked wolves should have questioned me about it.
By losing my Luna, having her torn away from me like she was, they should have known how much I loved her.
But I am sure that Garrett and Marc held back from doing it because it would bring their own actions to the forefront. They didn’t want that, but it will be coming around to them before they know it.
How he planned this out many years ago and probably laughed his way to sleep each night, at me doing his bidding. I will make him pay for all of it.
No matter what, Graham Sullivan, will figure out quickly that he messed with the wrong wolf this time. Graham needed to be taught a lesson, a life lesson.
He forgot the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do to you. It was a human rule, based on their bible.
Apparently, their God liked it too as it is mentioned more than once, in Matthew and Luke. I am going to flip it on Graham. It is meant for people to treat people with kindness, and love.
Just like you would want to be treated yourself. But I am changing it up, I am going to do to him what he did to me. I cannot take his mate away, my mate already beat me to it.
But I will plan against him, I will torment him, I will hurt him, just like I was hurt.
I will make sure that he will receive the punishment that he has earned, and I pulled up to the Pack’s gate with a smile on my face. I have not smiled for days, but yet, here I am.
I take the kids straight to the dining room to eat their lunch as I continue to make plans for what I will do later on. I feel a visit is in order.
I think that I will see if Aaron is free to talk to me today, so I can let him know that I believe I can help him solve his problem.
I also want to get a nice visit in with Graham before I move his new roommates in. I want him to get the full experience, as I do not know when we will be moving forward with this.
I will let them know what their punishment will be after I move them to their new cell, that way I ensure Graham can truly enjoy the next few nights.
The plan is perfect, and it also gives Graham a little heads-up as to what is about to be coming his way.
I know the girls will be horrified, but they will be reminded that they chose their own path, and so they chose their own punishment.
I see Garrett and Marc walking up to my table and they are smiling. Brady and Travis are a few steps behind them. “We finally found it, had to damn near tear his room apart.
He had a secret storage box built into the bottom of his fancy closet. If Travis hadn’t accidentally hit it with his foot, we would have never realized that it was hollow.
It had a button built into the side of it. You had to feel around to find it. It was actually quite impressive. He had quite the stash in there too. I put his stash in the safe in your office.
Oh and we brought this too” Garrett hands me a pillow. “Why are you giving me a pillow?” I asked him. “It is Cassandra’s pillow, it has her scent.
Even if you don’t pass it to him, he will still catch her scent, and it will cause him pain. He is a piece of crap, but she was his mate, and he will want her scent around him” Garrett told me.
I remember doing the same thing as I tried to sleep. I held her pillow to me like it was her. I couldn’t stop myself. It did help me to finally fall asleep.
I will enjoy putting it into play, I do not feel sorry for anything that Graham is about to experience. Do I feel sorry for the girls, maybe a little?
Because they are going to have a hard time with it. They should have a hard time, they plotted and colluded against the Alpha couple.
They only have themselves, and Graham to blame for the spot that they are currently in right now. No one else did this to them. They were blinded by money and power.
They got both in this deal, but unfortunately for them, their time has run its course. I almost wish that Cheryl was here to see what was about to happen here tonight, as it will be a good start.
Maybe I will record it on my cell phone. I am very thankful to Raven for reminding me to take my head out of my a*s. I am thinking clearer than I have for a long time.
I will have to send her some flowers for her help with this. Some for Raven, with a thank you card, and some for Cheryl for her to know that I still love and want her.
Now I need to find a place that will have the sodium cyanide that I need. I need to get a few things in place first, and I plan on making full use of all of Graham’s money to make it happen.
I want him to know that this isn’t over, not by a long shot. His nightmare is only just beginning, and I plan on making him suffer.
                
            
        I see the boys come out from behind the SUV, and I wonder how long they have been here with us. I see Brandon and Justin looking at them and they mindlinked to ask.
I see both their lips press together in anger and I bet the answer is almost this whole time. I shake my head and look back at Blake who is stunned at what his son said to him. He shouldn’t be.
Kevin lived it. He lived with getting bullied and picked on for a long time. I knew what he went through. I too was born to an Alpha who treated me like s**t.
I said the same thing to Graham, as soon as I had been given the opportunity and a safe space to be able to do it in after I escaped from Silver Blade.
“Kevin, I am sorry that I picked Forest over you. I miss you” I see the middle child with Blake calling out to Kevin. I saw how excited he got when Kevin came out before I turned to see who was there.
I see Kevin glance over at him and give him a small smile before focusing on his father again. I see the anger flare back up in his eyes. I know the feeling. I was raised by Graham.
I am fully aware of the man he is, and just how despicable he can be. “We will not be leaving with you, Alpha Blake, so you can stop wasting all of our time, and just go back to Black Moon.
You made your choice over and over again. It was the same one. You choose everyone but mom and me. You wanted them” Kevin motions towards his brothers and sister “and I am OK with your choices.
Because they are yours to make. I realized after I got here, that my worth is not what any of you thought of me.
I have had more support here, and more positive interactions here in 4 days, than I have had in the last 4 years at Black Moon. So yea, Graham can be punished.
Go ahead and punish him for everything he did. Punish him for all of us, for what he chose to do to us. But if you think that will make any difference to mom, or me, you are mistaken.
You can’t fix years of abuse dad. You can’t because you did this to us. You willingly allowed your pack to abuse us. You didn’t keep what was going on between you and mom.
You told the whole pack, you made her look bad in front of them. She had to put up with too much. She was ridiculed and embarrassed every single day.
By the ranked wolves that you love so much, and now I hear that two of them are directly responsible for why it happened. Mom didn’t do anything, to anyone while we were there.
The only mistake she made was the mistake of loving you and accepting you as her chosen mate. You didn’t care when you allowed the abuse to happen to her, or me, either.
Yea, I won’t be giving you the chance to do it, because as far as I am concerned the choices that you made, led us here.
Stop blaming Graham for you not having the Goddess given sense to stop, and think for yourself. Because that is all on you.
Not mom, not me, that was you” Kevin said and I can feel his pain as he said it. My tears come back. My sweet boy wanted to defend me. I tried to hide it the best I could from him. I did.
I wanted him to have a normal childhood. I wanted him to be appreciated and valued just like his brothers and sister were. But I failed.
I failed to protect him from a monster, one who turned his own father against him. Maybe I should have killed Graham. Years ago before we even got to this point.
But hindsight is always clearer than when you are in the moment. I might have killed him, but I would have probably been killed for doing it. Who would have taken care of Kevin then?
No, I made the right choice. Graham will eventually figure out exactly why I killed Cassandra. Then he will have to live with the knowledge that he was the one who pulled the trigger.
I may have physically done it, but it was all to pay him back for what he had done to my family. He pushed me to punish him, and I did what I had to do.
His choices have consequences, and Goddess willing before he dies, he will learn that very valuable lesson. “Kevin, I swear to the Goddess that I have made changes already.
I made them the day that you left. I got rid of all my girlfriends. I was going to get rid of Kara too, but your mom beat me to it.
I promise you that from now on, I will be the father that you deserve. I am proud of you. The fact that you just kept training, and getting stronger, even without my encouragement.
You are my son, you are strong, and I will make sure that if you come back we will all start over again. No extras at our table. I will apologize to your mom, and you, in front of the whole pack.
I was going to let your mom kill Graham, but you can if you want to. Whatever I need to do to make you happy, I will do it. I had a broken heart because I felt you were not mine.
I wanted you to be, and in dealing with this whole situation, I struggled a lot. I was not thinking clearly. I am sorry, I was wrong and I will make it up to both of you.
I want you to come home, with me, son” Blake had turned and was facing Kevin. Blake was still on his knees and holding the bars like he wanted to rip them open.
I could tell that he wanted to just come in here to take us back home. I could tell that Blake was serious about what he said. He did want us to come back. But to what?
A pack that would grudgingly accept us. I have been shamed, for almost 7 years, since Graham put his plan into play.
It has been over 6 years since my own mate told the whole pack of my betrayal of him. Six years of the whole pack calling my son a bastard. And for what? For Blake to be revered and celebrated.
His whole pack gives him sympathy for what all he has had to go through and endure. Because his mate is a cheater, or so they were told. We already had enough against us when we arrived.
People know who we were. They knew we had a price on our heads. There was nothing we could do to protect ourselves there, what makes us think that it couldn’t happen again?
“I did make changes, you can ask your brothers or sister. I stopped with the other girls. Graham said all the Alphas do it.
I will send them to Aaron’s pack if I need to, so you never have to look at them again. I just want you both to give me another chance.
I will not fail you again, Cheryl, I swear it” Blake speaks again and allows the pain he is feeling to pour out. I feel it, I know he is hurting, but Goddess, it has only been four days.
I haven’t even cheated on him. This reminds me, we need to cover that before he leaves. “I, Cheryl Peters, former Luna of the Black Moon pack, reject you Blake Adams, Alpha of the Black Moon pack.
I rescind any and all connections to Black Moon. I refuse to return there for any reason” I told him, and Blake grabs at his heart and slumps down from the pain of it.
I hurt too, but I am managing it. “I refuse to accept it, Cheryl. You are my Luna, I will never have another. I will return until you decide to allow me to have another chance.
Just know this, I know you complain about the pain I gave you when I cheated, but you haven’t felt it, have you? I stopped.
I stopped that morning before you left after I saw you trying to hide your tears from me. I felt horrible about what I have done. I did, I swore to make things right for you that moment, and I will.
I will keep Graham alive, until the day you and Kevin come home. We can kill him together if you want, for the acts against us. But I will not stop until my dying breath Cheryl.
You have been the only woman in my heart. The only woman that I have ever loved. I refuse to stop until you admit that you still love me too, and come back home. Please baby, please don’t reject me.
I cannot live without you. I will be back a month from today. I will try again and again each and every month. I will never give up on you.
I swear that I still love and want you Cheryl” Blake called out to me. “Blake, I believe that your idea of love, and mine, are very different. Graham chose you for a reason.
He knew you would follow what he said. He tried to plant seeds of doubt in me too, and I refused to believe him. I refused to accept that you would do anything to hurt me.
I even set myself up, in my confidence at my believing that we were so tight, so impenetrable, that he could never hurt us. Imagine my surprise at being wrong.
Graham did try to tug that line with me, but the difference was I knew that type of pain. The pain you feel when your mate is with another.
I felt it when you were with Reagan, that was how I knew you had cheated. I knew that you hadn’t since, and I told him to leave us alone.
But no matter how many times I asked you if you had felt that pain when you were accusing me of cheating, you blew it off. How bad could it be? How much could it hurt?
Always acting like I am a hypochondriac when I knew you had been with another. But how would I have known if I hadn’t felt that level of pain? Fine, do not accept the rejection.
I suffered so much, that I can work through it when it does eventually come back. Remember? You like to remind me of your higher s*x drive because you are an Alpha. You need it more than I do, right?
Even though we had gone almost 15 years without you cheating on me. I was enough for you, at one point. But after what you did to me. The humiliation, shame, and dishonor that you heaped on my head.
You made me the laughingstock of the pack. It doesn’t matter if you took it back now. The contempt that you allowed the pack to show me, I am sorry, Blake.
The damage has been done, and you did it willingly to me.
I refuse to go back, I refuse to allow Kevin to go back where he had to carry that stigma for all these years” I told him, and I cannot contain my pain.
“I do not know any of your backstory with Cheryl. But I will tell you that I think that she is a wonderful woman who deserved to be treated with love, and respect.
Two things that I think you are sadly lacking. I wanted to tell you that once she is healed from all you have put her through, I plan on letting her know my intentions toward her.
I feel her stress and anxiety right now, and I do not want to add to it. I just wanted you to know that after she is no longer my patient, I plan on asking her out.
I plan on showing her how a real man treats someone that he cares about. Because you haven’t, at least not lately, and I think that your time with her, is up.
It is time for her to find someone better. I am glad that the Goddess allowed her to make it to us. I honestly don’t know how she did it, other than just sheer willpower.
There is no way that you couldn’t see that she was wasting away. Unless you just didn’t care about her health and well-being.
From the sounds of it, she would have died at your pack, as they would have had no reason to save her. You surely didn’t let your pack know that they needed to take care of her.
She couldn’t have been eating much, she is 40 lbs. underweight. She is literally skin and bones. I am not making a threat to you. I care for her, and I plan on learning more about her.
As far as I am concerned, you have lost all rights to her. You should have accepted the rejection she offered.
But I think that you getting a chance to feel exactly what it feels like to be betrayed, might be the very best thing for you.
Maybe then you would have more compassion for a lady who has done nothing wrong except pick the wrong man to love” Dr. Max said, and I looked up at him and I know my eyes were huge with the shock of his announcement.
He has always been kind to me, more so than any of the rest of the staff there, but I have to say that I didn’t see it coming. “Do NOT touch my mate. I will kill you for doing it.
Alpha Brandon, I swear to the Goddess if that happens I will bring my men to your gates and attack” Blake said to Brandon. He had made sure to glare at Dr. Max first, and Blake was pissed.
Brandon shrugged and said, “If you think you can beat us, go ahead and attack. I cannot stand what has happened to her. She had paid much more of a price than she ever should have.
I feel terrible for that for her. If she decides to date Dr. Max, I will not stop them. They are grown, adults. I just heard that you had not 1, but 5 girlfriends.
Seems you were so busy you never saw what was happening in front of your face to your mate. I could tell at first glance that she was seriously ill.
There is honestly no excuse that you could have to make me think that this happened overnight.
This was probably the result of over 6 months of her being so sickened by what you were doing to her, that she couldn’t hold down her food. Her being sick, is all on you.
Do not threaten me, or my pack members. I take war seriously, and I already have a feeling it very well may come down to it anyway.
Oh, and just so you know, Graham lied, he cheated on his Luna, but I have never cheated on mine.”
I didn’t understand fully what Brandon was saying, but I knew that they had been training for a war to come, and I am praying that I am not the cause of it.
I would rather go back to Black Moon with Blake than for me being here to bring the war to their door. “You accused her and just glossed over the lack of pain you had, Blake.
You never felt it, and once you feel it, believe me, you will never forget it. It is a pain like no other. I cannot imagine what Cheryl felt at your hands.
You wanted the support, and sympathy, of your pack. You wanted them to know what all you had to deal with as you had been cheated on.
They all believed you, you are the Alpha, so why would you lie to them? It may have been made up, and they may be aware of it now, but the stigma that Cheryl carries at Black Moon cannot be erased.
She was bullied by everyone there. Sorry, doesn’t cover it. I cannot see how you can stand there, and want her to forgive you for years of torment and abuse.
You have barely dealt with her being gone for four days, yet you felt not one ounce of remorse for your actions.
It is disgraceful that you keep blaming Graham, when all you had to do, was stop and think for yourself. Stop trying to guilt her into coming back with you.
Stop trying to use your children who have clearly been bribed to try to beg her back. I have seen this before. My sister used to do the same thing. All in an effort for her to get more stuff.
The truth is you finally wised up to how badly YOU messed up. How badly things are going to go from here out, for you.
I may not know the whole story, but I know my sister enough to know that she pisses some people off. She kind of has a knack for it. Have you punished them? The men who set her up.
The very ones who got this ball rolling by getting her attacked at her new pack after you ended up making her a breeder? Getting Graham to make up a plan of vengeance for her.
If I knew it had happened, I could have warned you. Graham only cares about very few things.
He cares about Cassandra and Reagan, oh and his money, so three things” Raven tells him and he looks at her without speaking.
We can all tell that he is angry, but he cannot argue with what she has said, because she is right. She hit the nail on the head because he hadn’t. He had done nothing to them.
Even when we first heard of what happened, and didn’t fully know that they had such a big hand in it.
Michael had told Aaron and his men the lies that Garrett and Marc told him, right before he was killed. Garrett and Marc hated Reagan, for whatever reason and felt that she deserved what she got.
So Reagan has to live her life scarred up, all because they wanted her to get even more punishment than she had already been dealt.
They were clearly vicious when it came to Reagan, which is laughable to even think of how her situation could have been worse. They wanted her more punished, than her becoming a breeder.
There is something wrong with them, as that is the worst thing that you can be made to do. I had even tried to talk Blake out of it, to just make it be Aaron, and one other of her choosing.
That would have made it easier, but he was so angry, he just wouldn’t bend. I wanted her punished, and I only tried once to talk him out of it, but he was angry.
So angry that he wouldn’t listen to reason. s*x is different for women than it is for men.
It is much more intimate for us, plus we have the right to refuse to sleep with anyone we don’t want to sleep with.
Men can detach themselves from it, excuse their own bad behavior, and still claim they “love” us after doing it. “Blake, I may not know the whole story between you either, but I do know this.
I am willing to bet that those men are still wandering around, happy and free from any punishment. You got rid of your “official girlfriends” but did they get punished? They hurt your Luna too.
Do you not have any bylaw’s there to protect the Luna? I am betting you don’t. Their giving respect to women who are NOT the Luna, to their Luna’s face, is a punishable act.
Yet, I suspect they have received no repercussions for their actions. They dodged the punishment that was coming from Graham at this point. Graham is many things, but stupid isn’t one of them.
His big plan was probably to take you down, first, and get you out of the way. Then he would take control of the pack by using your men as a front for the council after you go crazy.
Don’t worry though, he would have gotten around to punishing the two of them, but it looks like now they will dodge their punishment altogether. I can understand why Cheryl cannot believe you.
You may have told the girls that they are over, that you will no longer be with them.
But yet they are still there, in your pack, an act that lets everyone know that they still have some pull with you.
That you cannot bear to let them go, which enforces the thought process that you will be with them again. They are not going to leave you alone.
They will try to get you back if you couldn’t stop yourself from sleeping with them before, how are you going to a week from now? A month from now? A year from now?
But the men who got this whole thing started, who were the root cause of Graham’s vendetta against you both, haven’t gotten any punishment at all. It is a slap in the face to Cheryl.
Don’t come back here, Blake, there is no point in it. Don’t waste her time, or ours. Not until you make some sweeping changes, and can show her that you are serious about it, why bother?
They both know where the pack is, and if they ever wanted to return to Black Moon, we will bring them there ourselves.
But please don’t insult our intelligence by trying to act like you got anything at all done there” Raven told him, and her tone brokered no argument.
I saw the look on Blake’s face, I saw that he was going to anyway. “What would you have had me do? Cheryl left me, and I cannot focus, my mind is only on her, and Kevin. I cannot sleep at night.
I can’t do my paperwork because I miss her so much. Graham had been trying for years to get me to sleep with them, any of them, for over two years before I actually did it.
I fought against it, against him, for over two years. Because I was loyal to Cheryl. It wasn’t just like I fell into bed with them.
If I didn’t know better I would have sworn he was in on it with them” Blake said and then stopped speaking as it hit him. His eyes fly straight up to mine.
He then looks over to Raven who nods her head like she is proud of him because he finally got it. I never thought of it, but it is entirely possible.
If Blake fought Graham for over 2 years on this, Graham probably took Blake’s unwillingness out of the equation to put his plan back into motion.
But that would mean that his little girlfriends have been involved in it too. I bet that has been a very rude awakening. “I will investigate this new information, and I will be back in a month.
I will have answers for you at that time. Please, Cheryl, do not make any rash decisions before then” Blake said to me, and then pointedly looked at Dr. Max. Max didn’t flinch or look guilty.
He also didn’t blink or break eye contact with Blake. That was a clear indication to Blake that he was not going to listen to him or obey him at all.
Blake was angry at the disrespect, but he had things to do himself. I could see that he had never thought of it before.
If I had known that Graham was on him to cheat on me for this long, I might have asked him about how it started myself.
I would not put it past Kara, and unfortunately for him, Kara is no longer available to answer anything.
I know that he is going to make some changes, but it would mean more if he had come up with it himself, instead of Raven having to lead him there when she heard what he had said.
Just because he realizes what he has done now, doesn’t negate all he has done to me over the past several years.
I will wait and see, but to be honest, I no longer have faith in him, his ranked wolves, or his pack. But since I am not ready to rush into another relationship right now.
He has some time to do whatever he thinks will matter to me to fix this. But after all this time, I just cannot see it helping either one of us to move past this.
The trauma I had to deal with, might just be too much for me to overcome. Chapter 127
Blake’s POV
Goddess, I am so angry. How did that not occur to me?
He is Reagan’s dad, and she did it to me, so it is entirely possible that he did it too. That a*****e is going to deserve what he gets.
I mindlinked Garrett and Marc, as they already know what they are looking for, and told them to go check Graham and Cassandra’s home for a drug like Reagan had used.
I am quite sure that the girls would have it on them too, I wasn’t around Graham so he probably gave them their own pills to keep me in line. I will have them go to Kara’s room next to sweep it.
Then after they show Brady and Travis what we are looking for, we will hit the girlfriend’s apartments to search.
I am so sure that they will find something, I cannot believe that it didn’t occur to me sooner. I already have the mental plans in place for the next step.
I will have them take the girls down and put them on the other side of the cells. If I can keep Graham from knowing what is coming, I want to.
I am so angry right now, and then I noticed that I had accidentally bent the steering wheel. My children are not speaking as we fly back home. I need to get this dealt with, and now.
How embarrassing is this? To be drugged by those sluts to get me to sleep with them. This was worse than the Reagan incident as far as I am concerned.
I will have to have my men with me or I really will beat Graham to death. I don’t want to free him that quickly. I forced myself to calm down.
“Are mom and Kevin really not coming back to the pack?” I heard Robert ask me quietly from the back seat. “I don’t know yet, son. I hope she does, I hope they both do.
I have not been good to either of them for a while, and they will not be easy to convince. I need to show your mom that I have truly changed, and prove it to her.
I hope that she is willing to give me another chance. I can promise you all that I will do what I can to bring them both home.
I miss them too” I told them, and Robert nodded to me in the rearview mirror. He accepted the answer that I gave him.
I will have to work to point out all the things that their mother did for them, that they never even noticed. They need to speak up, on their own, and beg her back.
Casey gave me a weak smile, and I can see that she is upset that they didn’t just come back with us. She is probably also upset at how bad their mother looked.
She used to have her hair up in a ponytail all the time, but for the last few months, she has just left it down.
With it up in that ponytail today, I could see how slim her neck was, how frail she truly was. That stupid doctor was right, she was dying right in front of me, and I could care less about it.
That wasn’t normal behavior for me. I might have cheated on her, but I have always loved and cared for her. I just may not have shown her the same care in the last few years.
All because I was a jealous i***t. I will not let that doctor just swoop in, and take her from me. He was pissing me off with that, and Cheryl not even realizing that he liked her.
Goddess, she needs to pay more attention. I don’t want him to have the opportunity to charm the pants off of her.
I remember the threat that she made to me in the note she left me the day they ran away. Cheryl has always been so strong and it pain of what I was doing to her, is what took her down.
I am not looking forward to feeling it myself. I am not going to lose my mate, the woman that I have cared for more than any other, to some freaking doctor. I will not allow it to happen.
I meant every word of what I said, but after so much was said in front of the children, I think that I will leave them at home for my next trip.
We do not need to speak so openly about what all happened, but I know that Forest knew what was happening, hell they all did. I made no secret about it.
Even going so far as to make out with them at the table, in front of my family. I believe that I will come alone, and bring her favorite flowers.
Get something special for her, maybe like an engagement ring to help keep the men away from her. I will have to find out what flowers are her favorites again, maybe Billie can help me with that.
I will look at pictures of our first 5 years together. I surprised her all the time with flowers. I made her a priority, and I haven’t for a long time.
Raven might not need to be in our business, but her words were the slap in the face that I needed. She was correct, I let work, and so many other things get in the way of my mate.
She was always there, in the background, making sure everything was the best it could be for me and our pups.
Graham swore that no matter what we did to her, she wouldn’t leave because she loved me so much. He really meant that she wouldn’t leave because she was trapped, and couldn’t leave.
I kept her on a tight leash, not letting her go places, and where could she have gone? They were still being looked for after all this time. She was trapped, and I was blind to that too.
I listened to Graham because it made me feel better to think that she stayed here because she loved me. I was better that the fact that she stayed here because she had nowhere else to turn.
I am glad that she gave Graham the same slap in the face he gave her. I taught her an eye for an eye mentality. I got the first link back before I even made it halfway back home.
“We found it, they are little pills, and they were in the kitchen cabinets. He didn’t even try to hide them” Garrett told me through the link. “OK, thanks for the heads up.
Grab Grady and Travis and go toss Kara’s room to see if you can find them there too. I didn’t hang out with Graham, so the girls had to have been dosing me and I wasn’t aware.
Once you find what you are looking for, just go and have some warriors take the other 4 girls down to the cells. Wait, change that, take the warriors to their rooms first.
I don’t want them to have time to hide the pills or get rid of them. You can have a warrior stand by at Kara’s room, while you search the other girl’s rooms.
I have a feeling that they will have them too. I do not want to give them a head’s up that they have been found out.
They were probably planning on laying low for a little while and then starting up again by dosing me. That is done now. Graham is going to have hell to pay this time.
I cannot believe that he would be so low. I am halfway home, let me know if you find anything else” I mindlink back to Garrett.
He tells me he will give me an update as soon as they check the girl’s rooms. I will have to think of a proper punishment for Garrett and Marc.
Raven was absolutely right, if not for their interference with Michael we would have had no real involvement at all in what happened.
Things would have been totally different as she might not have been attacked. Yes, she would have still been a breeder, but she liked every one of them, with the exception of Michael.
He was very rough with her, as he was trying to punish her. He did that based on what they had told him. They told him that she had drugged other men in my pack.
That it wasn’t just me that she had drugged. They also implied it had been his good friend Travis, that had been drugged too. She never drugged Travis, he wanted Reagan.
He wanted to claim her as his chosen mate. He was just too scared to go against us all.
I have to admit that I was mad at what she had done, I was furious that she almost cost me my mate and my firstborn pup. My children were important to me.
Everyone in the pack knew it too, I was over the moon happy about us having pups. I was furious, so I punished her in the harshest way that I could think of, I made her a breeder.
Was that bad, yea, it was. But I think she earned it, she went around and took the consent away from others, so I felt it fitting to give the same thing back to her. It worked out for her.
Clive loves her more than anything. Sometimes I think that Aaron loves her too, even with having his true mate.
The way he speaks about her is the tip-off for me, he respects her, he listens to her, and he values her opinion. Much more than he values his own mate’s opinions.
I have not seen her for 15 years, but I have heard that she has changed a lot, she became a good mother, which shocked the hell out of me and Cheryl, to be honest.
I know she pissed off Eloise a while back, from what Aaron said the last time he was here, Reagan was in the right for it.
He said that Reagan is a great fighter and she challenged Eloise to fight to the death to be Luna. Aaron said if Eloise had accepted it, she would have definitely lost her life.
He seemed a little disappointed about it. I thought that with Eloise being an Alpha’s daughter that she would be able to fight, but I remember Reagan couldn’t fight when she got here either.
Cheryl had to protect her from Sierra. It was what caught my eye, my mate is a badass and I am so proud of her.
Aaron was upset that his pups with Reagan went to live with her, but he told me that it was the best place for them, until they could defend themselves against Eloise.
So without him saying what it was, I knew that Reagan had been in the right for her actions. That makes my heart clench thinking about how much I loved and respected Cheryl when I found her.
How much I really still do love her almost from the moment I met her. I chose her, and she was perfect for me, how did I let things get this far?
I swear to the Goddess, if Graham ends up costing me my mate, I will kill him. Slowly, and he will wish he was dead well before I take his pitiful life.
The kids are back on their tablets, they know I am focused on other things right now, and I am. Focused on exactly what I am going to be doing to 5 people as soon as I get back to Black Moon.
I didn’t give a damn about letting Black Adder know I have Graham in my cells. I am positive that they already knew that information. Just like I am sure that they know exactly where Reagan is too.
It is almost like they either don’t care, or have something else planned right now. I know whatever it is, the council will be involved with it. I will give Aaron a heads-up when I get a moment.
I will also help him with his vampire problem too.
I need to deal with my anger, and I am ready to kill them all right now, if I get back the report that I am sure that I am about to get, I will probably be getting my wish.
Another point was made, by Raven, about our bylaw and protecting the Luna, she was right. We have them, and they are very specific about things that are unacceptable to do in a pack.
Like affecting the relationship between the Alpha couple. This is an older pack. Some of their rules were less important than others, but they had good laws and protection for the Alpha and his Luna.
The pack was much smaller before I took over, but I never changed the bylaws in it. I felt that it was a good thing to leave them in place. Especially after I made Cheryl my chosen mate.
I wanted her to be protected as much as I was. I should have figured out this whole thing way faster than I did. “Blake, they are all in cells, and we just got through searching their rooms.
They had two different pills in each of their rooms. One of the pills was the same as in Graham’s home, and the other pills are different. Looks like ecstasy and the other one is unknown at this time.
You will either have to get them to tell you, or we need to send it off to be tested. Kara had both bottles in her room, too. Marc and I are going back out to Grahams to check it further.
We will take Brady and Travis out there with us to search again. We made a thorough search.
Knowing how sneaky and underhanded Graham is, we want to make a second sweep, with more of us to make sure we didn’t miss anything. It makes sense that he would be the one supplying it to them.
He should have a bigger bottle of his own probably in his bedroom, or bathroom. Marc and I are going back out there with Brady, and Travis to find it” Garrett linked me.
“I will be there in about 10 minutes. I would like some good news” I linked him back and cut the link. I slowed down my speed because I am almost too angry to concentrate.
I have plenty of time, as I was actually closer than the ETA I just gave them. I need to think about what I am going to do. I need to do something big.
Something that makes the whole pack aware of what had happened. Something that lets my mate know that I was played by Graham.
That I was tricked, to get where we were now, but I never intended to cheat on her. I had help, and we are going to get to the bottom of it.
But these girls will be made an example of for their willing participation in all of this. I guarantee that it will be a cautionary tale to the rest of the pack for the bad choices they made.
I bet he paid them, they knew the risk involved, and apparently, they thought that the reward for it would be worth it. We shall see because I will not just kill them.
I will think long and hard before I just let them off the hook like that. I started to think of what would be the best punishment for them when it hits me.
I believe that we can take care of two birds with one stone. I will have to let Aaron know that I have a solution to his problem as well. This is one problem that I will be happy to help him with.
I guess I will be seeing Reagan again, even if I never thought that I would. I guess I need to bury the hatchet with her. I bet she is going to be pissed when she sees me though.
If she already knows what happened, she will be. If not, I will tell her the whole, terrible story. I will make sure that she knows that is entirely her father’s fault.
She can come and get her mother’s body if she wants to bury it at Blood Tracker. I will allow that for her, I will also let her visit her father if she would like to at that same time.
I don’t know if he will actually get to the point of it being his own fault that Cassandra died if we don’t plant that seed ourselves. It will be my pleasure to do so, with him, and with Reagan too.
He needs to know that it is his fault, all the way around. It is his plotting to kill our son and break us apart, that made Cheryl run away from here.
But he has caused me, and Cheryl, a great deal of pain. He caused my son a lot of pain. I could see it in his eyes today. What I did to him, he will never forgive me for.
I hurt him so badly, he might not ever recover from it. I was glad to see that he had made friends. They seemed to be very protective of him.
I liked how they lined up with him in a V formation to show that if you messed with Kevin, you were messing with them.
It is breaking my heart to know that he has gotten more support from a place he has only been for four days, than at his own pack.
Yes, I plan on making those girls sorry that they ever agreed to the deal they made with Graham. I also plan on letting them know what their fate will be before it happens.
I will be moving them closer to his cell so that he will have no peace at all for those nights. I also need to go down and make sure that he is enjoying the new artwork that we have installed for him.
His wife was a beautiful she-wolf, as were his daughters. Let me rephrase, Regan and Raven were both beautiful.
Just like their mother, I know that he is enjoying the posters that we had made up of Cassandra.
They came out so well that I sent some of the pictures of him and Cassandra together, to be enlarged as well.
I left three framed pictures on the desk, so he can see the thought and care that she put into the frames. He may have even seen her place them with care into the frames.
He may have been trying to drive me mad, or insane, at the loss of my own mate. I was headed that way, at the start of it.
Now I am focused on getting him back for what he did, and getting my mate and son back to Black Moon. I swear to the Goddess even if she doesn’t agree to return here.
I would consider taking him to her, just for her to kill. I would do that for her. But first I will make him suffer. I was never a man that liked to torture people.
I prefer to just kill them, outright. But I have to say that I really like the way I am coming up with ways to punish those who have crossed me. I was a kinder Alpha with my Luna by my side.
I think that the years together made me fairer to my pack members, and kinder as well. She softened my hard edges, and they should have appreciated that about her.
I am not saying that regular pack members should have challenged me, but my ranked wolves should have questioned me about it.
By losing my Luna, having her torn away from me like she was, they should have known how much I loved her.
But I am sure that Garrett and Marc held back from doing it because it would bring their own actions to the forefront. They didn’t want that, but it will be coming around to them before they know it.
How he planned this out many years ago and probably laughed his way to sleep each night, at me doing his bidding. I will make him pay for all of it.
No matter what, Graham Sullivan, will figure out quickly that he messed with the wrong wolf this time. Graham needed to be taught a lesson, a life lesson.
He forgot the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do to you. It was a human rule, based on their bible.
Apparently, their God liked it too as it is mentioned more than once, in Matthew and Luke. I am going to flip it on Graham. It is meant for people to treat people with kindness, and love.
Just like you would want to be treated yourself. But I am changing it up, I am going to do to him what he did to me. I cannot take his mate away, my mate already beat me to it.
But I will plan against him, I will torment him, I will hurt him, just like I was hurt.
I will make sure that he will receive the punishment that he has earned, and I pulled up to the Pack’s gate with a smile on my face. I have not smiled for days, but yet, here I am.
I take the kids straight to the dining room to eat their lunch as I continue to make plans for what I will do later on. I feel a visit is in order.
I think that I will see if Aaron is free to talk to me today, so I can let him know that I believe I can help him solve his problem.
I also want to get a nice visit in with Graham before I move his new roommates in. I want him to get the full experience, as I do not know when we will be moving forward with this.
I will let them know what their punishment will be after I move them to their new cell, that way I ensure Graham can truly enjoy the next few nights.
The plan is perfect, and it also gives Graham a little heads-up as to what is about to be coming his way.
I know the girls will be horrified, but they will be reminded that they chose their own path, and so they chose their own punishment.
I see Garrett and Marc walking up to my table and they are smiling. Brady and Travis are a few steps behind them. “We finally found it, had to damn near tear his room apart.
He had a secret storage box built into the bottom of his fancy closet. If Travis hadn’t accidentally hit it with his foot, we would have never realized that it was hollow.
It had a button built into the side of it. You had to feel around to find it. It was actually quite impressive. He had quite the stash in there too. I put his stash in the safe in your office.
Oh and we brought this too” Garrett hands me a pillow. “Why are you giving me a pillow?” I asked him. “It is Cassandra’s pillow, it has her scent.
Even if you don’t pass it to him, he will still catch her scent, and it will cause him pain. He is a piece of crap, but she was his mate, and he will want her scent around him” Garrett told me.
I remember doing the same thing as I tried to sleep. I held her pillow to me like it was her. I couldn’t stop myself. It did help me to finally fall asleep.
I will enjoy putting it into play, I do not feel sorry for anything that Graham is about to experience. Do I feel sorry for the girls, maybe a little?
Because they are going to have a hard time with it. They should have a hard time, they plotted and colluded against the Alpha couple.
They only have themselves, and Graham to blame for the spot that they are currently in right now. No one else did this to them. They were blinded by money and power.
They got both in this deal, but unfortunately for them, their time has run its course. I almost wish that Cheryl was here to see what was about to happen here tonight, as it will be a good start.
Maybe I will record it on my cell phone. I am very thankful to Raven for reminding me to take my head out of my a*s. I am thinking clearer than I have for a long time.
I will have to send her some flowers for her help with this. Some for Raven, with a thank you card, and some for Cheryl for her to know that I still love and want her.
Now I need to find a place that will have the sodium cyanide that I need. I need to get a few things in place first, and I plan on making full use of all of Graham’s money to make it happen.
I want him to know that this isn’t over, not by a long shot. His nightmare is only just beginning, and I plan on making him suffer.
