Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter
Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 126

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.
