Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 113

Cheryl's

POV

Raven turned back to look at me and said, "No, you are not crazy. Cassandra's family is directly descended from Selene, the Moon Goddess herself. The Goddess obviously let Cassandra know what was going to happen. The Goddess had come to me in a dream a long time ago to tell us that something else was going to happen. The fact that you told no one, should let you know it was indeed the Goddess's will for you to be successful in letting you escape. Cassandra knew that she was going to lose her life today, and was prepared for it. She wanted to make it right for you, Blake, and Kevin. It seems like I did get my closure after all. Knowing that she told you this, so you could relay it to us, was a comfort to me. I feel like she specifically said it to you because the Goddess already knew that you would be coming here for protection."

"I didn't even know that I was coming here, so it would have had to be the Goddess to know that. I was thinking about going to the human city to live, actually. I was going to drive several states over, and raise Kevin. But for some reason, I felt compelled to drive here and then called Leander. I didn't even know that I was coming here when I left Black Moon until I got to the city. I felt like I should call my brother. I don't know how Cassandra could have known this unless the Goddess really did tell her what was about to happen" I texted them back. I am stunned now, but I felt better now that I know that the Goddess knew that I would be safe here, and led me back to Black Adder.

"It makes sense, I have never seen our oldest children just connect with anyone like they did with Kevin. It is not that they are rude to anyone. It is just that they are very cautious when meeting new people, and it takes time for them to build a connection with someone. But they were fast friends in less than 10 minutes. The Goddess seems to be at work in this. I believe that as well" Brandon stated to the room, and they nodded in agreement.

"I have to say that I have not seen Kevin this happy, for years. He was smiling, and it has been a while since that has happened. He is less stressed, and clearly happy at being here. But I can completely understand if we can't stay" I texted them. "Why can't you stay? Where are you going to go?" Raven asked.

"I was banished, I have broken the law, and I made the deal that as long as Kevin was protected I would tell you where Graham and the other were. I can accept my fate. Just please take care of my son. Blake may have realized his mistake now, but that doesn't erase 7 years of abusive behavior. I won't go back, and I don't want Kevin to go back, no matter what Blake says to you to try to get him back. As long as Graham and Forest are there at Black Moon, it will not be safe for Kevin to go back there." I texted them. "He is safe here, and so are you. We will not be pressing any charges against you" Brandon said to me.

"I appreciate that, but the fact remains that I killed three pack members from my pack today. That will be carrying a whole new, and much more serious, set of charges. You taking care of Kevin will set my heart at peace, and I am good with that. You are good parents, and I can see how well your child behave. You have done a good job with them. I can accept my punishment knowing that this is where the Goddess wanted Kevin to be" I texted them back. My heart was happy. I did what Graham said I wouldn't be able to do. I protected my son from him. Kevin is no longer there to be kicked around, bullied, or abused. We are done with them, and Kevin now has friends his own age that like him, and want to be around him. Even if I was put to death for my actions, I will be accepting of it.

"So, Luna Cheryl, you mentioned to us that you were held prisoner at your pack. Not allowed to leave, and if you did leave you were always with warriors who were told to make sure that you could not escape. Is that correct?" council member Emerson asked me. "That is correct. Blake was paranoid that I would leave him, or leave to come and cheat on him with Brandon here, so I was not allowed to leave. I don't go shopping, I didn't go out, or to dinner. We had about 5 date nights out at restaurants, mostly to celebrate our anniversaries. But no, I could not go get in a car and leave on my own. The first 7 years, it was because I was scared to leave in case you found me. But the last 8 years, I was basically under a kind of house arrest, mainly because of the rumor spread around by Graham about me" I texted his answer to him. He nods and goes back to typing on his cell again.

"I would like to tell you how much I appreciate you relaying that to us, Cheryl. I also needed some closure as it hurts to be rejected. I had no explanation for why she did it all those years ago. It helps me to know that it was just for petty, stupid, and childish reasons. It does make me feel better to know that now. It also made me feel better to know that she did feel bad about turning her back on Raven being hurt at Silver Blade too. I have been angry with her for so long about what happened to Raven at Silver Blade. That was one of the real reasons why I wanted her found. I needed to know why she allowed that to happen, instead of just giving my pup to me like I told her and Graham to do" Alpha Cole said to me, and I nodded to him.

"Cheryl, to clarify, was Kevin allowed to be hurt, knowingly, at the Black Moon pack?" council member Emerson asked.

"Yes, he was bullied quite badly by pack members. Pushed, shoved, and just this morning our oldest child had his friends try to hold Kevin, that was how he got the black eye. I am proud to say that Forest got one too. Kevin is a strong fighter and all he ever wanted was for his dad to give him any kind of encouragement. But Blake refused to say anything positive about him. Kevin works out harder than anyone, as Blake really likes for his men to be in peak physical condition and excellent fighters. As a matter of fact, Kevin is now sparring with the adults now. I believe it was originally intended for him to get hurt in training, as he was now stronger than Forest. He never complains, he just keeps trying as hard as he can. Just know that we had to leave, sir, we had to. It was a matter of time before Graham would have had Forest kill Kevin. I wish I had kept my phone, but I didn't want them to be able to track or trace me with it" I texted him my reply.

"Cheryl, I am thinking that there is a way to get the recording back. I think that would be all the proof that we would need to show that your hands were tied as a prisoner of Black Moon. That you had to do what you needed to be able to escape because that was clearly a certain death situation. I believe that we can get you past this Luna Cheryl. I was already watching your pack as one that we believed Graham was hiding at. I thought it was odd that every time we came there, it was a total of at least 6 minutes that we had to wait, to even get through the gate. We are supposed to have immediate access, but we never had it at Black Moon. Blake had an excuse for it every single time it happened. We had the same problem at Blood Tracker too. Just not as long a wait. We never saw any of you there. Can you explain that?" council member Emerson asked and all eyes directed towards me.

"Graham gave all kinds of money to Blake. Blake knew if we were found there that he could lose his pack. He refused to give me up, and Graham was his cash cow, so he refused to give him up too. He was stuck with 5 of the total 6 of us there. He built an underground bunker that sat midway between the packhouse and Graham's home. My parents lived with Graham, so we split the difference. By the time you made it up the drive to the house, we had already had about 10 minutes to get where we needed to be. If Graham and Cassandra were out, Blake would just mindlink them not to return until you left. But the phone is a problem. I don't know if it had a locator on it or not. He could have had one, which means he has probably found it by now. I just wasn't going to take the chance on Blake being able to trace my location. But I can't go with you, and Kevin was the one to throw it out of the vehicle. He thought it was funny that he threw it across the street from the entrance to Blak Moon. I actually wanted to go back, and leave the SUV across the street for them with the keys hidden in the console, as I don't want any kind of reminder, or help, from that pack. I refuse to owe Blake anything at all " I typed out for them.

"Yes, we knew you couldn't go with us tonight, but would you consider allowing Kevin to go with us? I will guarantee his safety. I think that we will need that video for us to be able to move forward and for you to be able to not be punished like you normally would for it. It will be dark in an hour and it will take us an hour and a half to get there. I think that we can get someone to run some interference for us, while we search for the phone. Instead of leaving the SUV that we are returning across the street. We could park it in front of their gate. They would have to climb over the wall and by then we would be gone. That is if the gates turn outward as you enter. If they turn to the inside of the gate, we might have a problem" Alpha Cole stated.

"They open outward, but there has to be another way. I just cannot lose him, Please I risked both of our lives getting him to freedom. Please do not take him back there. He cannot be around Graham. Graham will kill him for what I did to Cassandra. He won't hesitate to do it. He would do it just to hurt me, and Blake. Please, Raven, Kevin cannot go back to Black Moon" I texted Raven.

"We will not go alone, Cheryl. You are not aware of this, but we have been training for over 15 years now, for an upcoming war. A war that I now suspect will be with Blood Tracker and Black Moon. They are not aware that we now know who are opponents are, we finally have the upper hand. We have been training for a long time and we have several hand-to-hand experts. Snipers, and regular marksmen. We also can work with bows and arrows when we are coming in silent. I swear to you on my life, I will not let anything happen to your son. He would come back safely with us. I would go, along with Justin and Leander. Cole and council member Emerson, and I will hand pick our best men to go with us" Brandon said to me, and I am still shaking my head in the negative. It is too great a risk for me to allow it.

"I will be going too, Brandon. Who do you think the distraction will be?" Raven said, and I still refuse to let Kevin go. It is just too risky.

"I don't think that is a very good idea. It isn't safe, and I would be focused on the kid, I do not want you getting hurt, for any reason. You are my mate, I worry about you" Brandon said to Raven.

"I

I agree, I will want to make sure that Kevin is protected too. I don't want something to happen to you there either. I heard what Cheryl said. These people are clearly dangerous, and I don't want to take the risk of you getting hurt either" Justin agreed with Brandon. "Plus they know who you are, Raven. Blake came here for training before. He wanted to see what his "competition" was. He was very angry that you and Justin both managed to beat him. He is unbeatable in our pack, so it was a serious ego blow to him that not just Brandon beat him, but Justin did too. He ended up sending Travis back here for future training. Travis had a big crush on Reagan. Even with Blake warning him to leave you alone, he still came here and from what I hear, he propositioned you. They would recognize you just for looking like Reagan, at least the senior men would, and the ranked wolves" I texted Raven.

They can all see the fear showing all over my face and I am shaking my head no, I started typing on my cell phone again, but stopped when I heard, "I will do it. I know that you can't go, mom. If you need it I am pretty sure I can find where I threw it. Don't worry about me. I will be fine. I can tell that they won't let me be in danger, and if we go tonight, they will never even think we would return. They think we are long gone by now. Plus I am smaller than the grown men, I could stay hidden better" Kevin tells me and I can tell from his way of thinking that this is like a spy mission from those action movies that he likes. I wonder just how much of what was said did he actually hear. I just cannot take the risk of something happening to him and I started texting again. I cannot allow this to happen. I won't agree to it.

"NO! He cannot go. Blake will want him back now, as he knows that he is indeed his pup. He would use his having Kevin to get me back. I know that we won't be able to survive this. I cannot lose him, please don't take him back. I will pay for my crimes, do not let Blake get him back. He will never truly be safe with Blake" I texted Raven.

My machine is beeping an alarm and my doctor comes into the room asking, "What are you doing to her? Her blood pressure and heart rate are too elevated. I told you that she has been under too much stress, this is not good for her at all" I already see a nurse entering the room right behind him heading towards me with a needle in her hand. I tried to stop her but I wasn't strong enough. She administered the shot quickly, and I could not stop my tears from falling. Apparently, it doesn't matter what I want. I know why they need it. It is documented proof of what happened. It is irrefutable documentation that I didn't make it up. that it really happened. It proves what I had told them was the truth, but I just can't let my baby boy go back there. It isn't safe.

"I can do it, mom, you need to have some faith in me. I am almost a full-grown wolf. Let me make a few choices myself. It will be OK. I swear to you that I will come back safe" Kevin tells me as he kisses my forehead and I am drowsy now.

I keep trying to text them to please not do it, but I cannot focus on the keyboard anymore. My fingers are heavy and I can't type. I feel a hug and then Raven whispers to me, "I will keep your pup safe, Cheryl, even at the cost of my own life. Do not worry about Kevin. By the time you wake up we will be back". She squeezes the hand that didn't have the IV in it and then leaves the room. It is silent now, and I feel another tear slide down the side of my face. I pray that she is right. I hate that they are taking him back to Black Moon, but Kevin was right. They would never suspect it, not in a hundred years, and that element of surprise might be the only thing that keeps them safe tonight.
