Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 132

Reagan's

POV

Aaron told me and Clive that we had to come with him this morning. That the plan for the vampires needed to be picked up at Black Moon. I was very nervous at first, as I had been banished from there, and I didn't want to be punished for returning. Aaron ended up having to call Blake, who told me that I could come today. That he had approved me getting to see my father. I was happy to be able to get to see him. I thought that after he was put in a cell there at Black Moon, my being able to see him ever again was over. I had been struggling over never being able to see either of my parents again. Aaron advised me that we would be bringing her back to Blood Tracker with us and that a burial plot was being prepared as we speak. Aaron seemed nervous about saying something and at the halfway point to Black Moon, I finally had to blurt out, "Is this a trap? Is Blake about to kill me or put me in his cells?"

"No, I am nervous, but it isn't about that at all. I just didn't know how to say this or start the conversation. You haven't wanted to talk about what happened to your mother just yet, and I didn't know how to bring it up. You need to know as this was part of the deal today. You know how Graham is, he wanted to pay people back for your being hurt 15 years ago. So he started some rumors in Black Moon. He said that Cheryl had cheated on Blake and that their second child was not his, but actually, Brandon's" Aaron tells me. I cannot stop the bark of laughter that emerges from me at hearing it.

"And they believed it? Are you serious? I have seen pictures of the family, all the boys look just like Blake. How is it possible for anyone to think she would do that? Look, I may not have seen her for a while, but Cheryl was actually a good person. She just was easy to lead. Her dad did it, hell even I did it to her. I tricked her into helping me when I made the worst choice of my life in doing that video. I was an i***t back then. My parents spoiled me to the point that I honestly thought that I could get away with anything. How did that even work? I can't see that actually working out to be successful. Everyone knew how excited Blake was about that first pup, I cannot imagine him not being excited for the rest of them," I told him and I am shaking my head in disbelief. "Your father was working on Blake for 2 years before he started that rumor. He started by telling Blake things to get him worked up. Like how Cheryl was completely obsessed with Brandon. How she wanted to be Luna at Black Adder. How much she loved Brandon. Then he moved on to start comparing Blake against Brandon. He didn't come right out with it. It was a comment here, a comparison there, and after 2 years of the whisper campaign, Blake started to believe it" Aaron told me and I realized that dad has gone too far. "It was partial truths, and those work better than a lie. So the pack believed the rumors? Did they turn on Cheryl" I asked Aaron and I am feeling pretty bad for her right now. I know how it is to not have anyone in your corner. I know the loneliness of it, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I am still dealing with it, as the families of Tabitha, Jennifer, and Michael still continue to poison my fellow pack members against me.

"It was actually worse than that because Blake believed it completely. About 4 and a half years ago he denounce his son Kevin and told the pack that Cheryl had cheated on him. The pack completely ostracized them, they only had each other. Blake was listening to your father and his instructions like a lifeline. All Blake wanted was for Cheryl to apologize and for her to take Kevin away to live with his father. Blake thought he was being reasonable, but Graham had worked him into running into a fit of jealousy against anyone who even brushed against Cheryl accidentally. Blake was out of control. He was an a*s to Kevin, and I am ashamed to say that it got even worse" Aaron told me and looked over at me with sadness in his eyes. He felt really bad for Blake, but he felt worse for Cheryl and Kevin.

"So he had the man tearing his family apart as the one who was supposed to be "helping" him. When did he figure out that dad was the one behind it?" I asked him. We are 10 minutes out now, and I know I need to hear the rest of it so I can think about what I need to do. It seems I need to apologize to Blake for my father's actions if he will let me. I think he may just avoid seeing me on this visit.

Blake picked on them both for years. Nothing either of them did was good enough for him, and then the worst came. About 6 and a half months ago Blake started sleeping with one of the female warriors, and then within the week, he had a total of 5 girlfriends. Graham had spent the previous 2 years trying to convince Blake that he needed to pay Cheryl back by cheating on her too, but Blake refused to do it. All of a sudden Blake not only cheated on her, but he was allowing these women to run all over Cheryl. They were getting the same respect as the Luna and it was bad. Like at the dinner table with her family, and one of the girlfriends sitting on Blake's lap bad. Your father instigated the whole thing. You already know what he did to achieve his goals. You know what those girls did too. This figures into the second part of the story too, one that I will let Blake tell you when we get there. Graham's house was searched, as well as the girlfriend's apartments, with the same drugs found at both locations. Cheryl was shamed daily and had become the laughingstock of the pack. She had wasted away to almost nothing the last time I saw her. She could barely eat, and was not her former self" Aaron paused and I could see him trying to calm down. Cheryl must have been in a bad way to get him so upset. I hate that my father put her through this. Did he not learn anything when I gave this a shot? Both times it had backfired, and badly.

"I am sorry my father did that, and I would like to apologize for what dad did if Blake will allow me to. I don't know if I want to see dad after all. I think I am good with just getting mom, taking her back to Blood Tracker, and just skipping the visit to dad. I am angry at his actions already, and I can't see this getting any better if you had to pause in your story to brace for what was to come. I cannot believe that he would do this, but dad has always done whatever he wanted. He hinted that he wanted to do something in my defense. He has never let it go. Every month when they would make their visit he would make excuses to this day to not be around me. I knew he was angry about what happened. I was too, but the main problem was because of jealous she-wolves that were not stopped. Yes, Michael let them onto the Alpha floor, and into my room, and that was a problem. But it wasn't the main problem. I started this ball rolling, even after I knew Blake had a short fuse when people crossed him. I was jealous of Cheryl and wanted to make sure that I became a favorite too. I messed up, and I knew from Cheryl living at Silver Blade that she wanted her mate to be loyal. I still had the stuff I gave Justin with me. Then I lied on top of all of it, to get him to hurt Cheryl. At first, he was falling for it, but when he opened the door and saw her, and the pain she was in, he flipped on me. I didn't want to be a breeder, I didn't. But I have been able to think about my actions in the last 15 years. I have changed and I am not the same person I used to be. I have helped Judy and Darren, and they are excellent parents to their children. I was happy to help them create a family. I have 9 blessings at home that I could not be more proud of. I found Clive, so I told dad when he asked this last time, I don't need him to defend me. I am where the Goddess wanted me. I wished he had listened. He has only asked me a handful of times about it, in the last 15 years. But from the sounds of it, he started this plan long ago. No wonder Blake wanted to know if I knew, he had to make sure that he caught all the wrongdoers" I said, and Aaron nodded. I figured that was why he needed to know.

"I needed to know because Blake was going to punish the ones who were behind it. Blake was the one to decide about you becoming a breeder, as I had mentioned it to him several months previous to when you arrived. I needed you and you were sent by the Goddess herself. My pups are strong, and it is all thanks to you. I am forever in your debt. I just hadn't gotten to the worst part yet. I needed to calm down. Since you are a mother you will understand why it happened like it did. Graham's plan has two parts to it. He blamed Cheryl for not being able to talk Blake out of making you a breeder, and she did try to talk him out of it. He just refused to listen to her. Graham wanted to hurt Blake and Cheryl, but that wasn't the worst of it. Graham planned on having their oldest child kill his own brother, the one who Graham was saying was not Blake's pup" Aaron said, and I could not stop my gasp of shock.

"Are you serious? He was going to have him kill his own brother? To what end?" I ask to make sure I understood, but my mind just could not wrap around it. Dad was bad, but this was a heinous and completely savage plan. he planned this to happen to a child. What was my father thinking?

"Graham wanted Cheryl to die from a broken heart. He wanted to break her, by taking her mate and taking her son. He actually told her what was going to happen in a recording from over 4 years ago. Kevin was still young and defenseless back then. Cheryl ended up recording the conversation between them. I can ask Blake to play it for you. It would be best for you to hear it before you speak to your father. I know that he will say the same thing to you that he said to us, that it wasn't him on the recording. I was standing there last night when Blake played it for him. Graham was completely caught off guard finding out that Cheryl had gotten him to admit his whole plan for the record. He had put a lot of thought into it. He laughed at her when she asked him to spare her son. He laughed at her begging for him to spare her child. He is probably the cruelest man that I have ever met. Graham is going to die, but he will sit in the cells for years before that happens. Graham assumed that Blake would just react quickly when he found out what he had done. Just like he did when Sierra attacked you, and Cheryl stopped her. He was positive that Blake would just kill him if he figured out what he had panned. But he found out last night that was not going to happen" Aaron told me.

"So what happened to my mom?" I managed to ask. I had been putting off that very question, but I suspect I know what happened now.

"Kevin is 14 and a half now, as you know our birth certificates are a year older than our real age to cover up for us growing up quicker than human children. Cheryl had been giving Kevin driving lessons to be able for him to get his driver's license. Blake was scared to death that they would end up running off and leaving him, and he didn't want that. Correction, he didn't want Cheryl to be able to leave him. He just wanted Kevin to go away. Their security detail with them had gradually decreased, as they went the same route, never caused problems, and had warriors within the SUV with them. Plus Cheryl was calm, and not arguing as she had been. Blake thought that she had finally come to the point of breaking and doing what he wanted. The day Cheryl had planned to leave, Kara one of the girlfriends, and a warrior, invited herself along on the driving lesson. Cheryl told her that she could not come with them. Cheryl was going to take Kevin to the mall to get clothes because he had outgrown his. Your mother and Billie asked to go with them. Kara went to Blake and after they had s*x got him to override what Cheryl told Kara. Cheryl ended up shooting Kara, the male warrior assigned to her, and Cassandra. Billie was in shock and on the side of the road when Blake and your father arrived at the scene. Kara had been mindlinking Blake when she was killed. Blake told me last night that Cheryl and Kevin are both staying at Black Adder" Aaron told me. I was shocked as Cheryl must have changed greatly in her life to have been able to do that. She would defend herself and others, but she was not ruthless. She must have become like this due to the strain she was under.

"I am surprised at Cheryl killing my mother. Shocked actually, as she was always nice to mom. But I know why she did it. I would not have let some jerk with an agenda kill one of my pups either. My heart hurts for her and what she had to go through. I am assuming that this came as a big shock to both dad and Blake, right? Cheryl had to protect her pup. I would have done the same thing to get away. I hate that she shot mom, but I think mom already knew what was about to happen" I told Aaron and now he is shocked. "How could you say she knew? What makes you think she did?" Aaron asked me.

"Mom wasn't a big talker, we didn't have a close relationship. But her last two visits to me were different. Both times she had dad write out a check for a big ticket item, like the pool the kids wanted. She told me that she needed me to be taken care of, even though I told her I was fine. That you and Clive take care of me and the children. I wasn't missing anything. But she told me that I was going to need it. It was like she knew that this was about to happen. She also told me that we were descendants of the Moon Goddess herself. She had never told me that before, and it was kind of important. She also told me that she wished we had a longer time to spend together. I thought we had more time, that I would see her on the next trip, but she knew. She knew she was going to be killed, and she gave me a really long hug before she left this last visit" I told Aaron and my eyes burned with the tears that want to be set free. She knew what was going to happen to her, and instead of avoiding it, she went along with it. She must have known that she was supposed to go through with it. That is the only thing that makes sense, she did it for the greater good. I wonder what the Goddess had shown her that was about to happen.

"I am so sorry Reagan. I am sorry for your loss. I am sure the Goddess called her home. I know that she did what the Goddess asked her to do. I am glad you had that conversation to look back on. I know in my heart that Cheryl only did it because her hand was forced" Aaron told me and I nodded in agreement as the tears ran down my face. Clive handed me a tissue from the backseat, and I appreciated him thinking of me. I know he liked my mother a lot more than my father, most people did. She was kind, dad was a jackass. Clive had stayed silent through the conversation, so I have to wonder fi he had known about this already, and then I remember that he knew what Aaron told me about mom being dead. He was with Aaron in the hospital and probably had known this for days. He just knew that I was stressed out over this vampire thing and was just trying to comfort me until I could deal with it.

"She did say something that was odd to me, that I couldn't understand then, but is making more sense now. My dad cheated on my mom. She mentioned how she had not had s*x with him in over 20 years since he started sleeping with some of the she-wolves back in our old pack. He hadn't cheated here, but mom still held out, because she was mad at him over it. I know it humiliated her at Silver Blade. But she mentioned that although she didn't know why she had, she had started to sleep with dad again. She did love him and was lowkey happy that they were back to normal, but what I got from her was the fact that she hadn't been intending to sleep with dad again, not after what he had done to her. Almost like she was surprised about it herself that she had. Another weird thing was that she told me how proud of me she was for turning my life around. For becoming a better version of myself. She told me that soon I would have to make an important choice and that my reaction to it was going to make the decision for me, and for me to choose wisely" I told Aaron and he was stunned.

He pulled into Blake's pack, and no one spoke. I was going over it in my head and maybe the thing could be how I reacted to her death. Maybe that was the big decision. I was calm, I could understand why Cheryl had to do what she did. I am by no means happy about it, but as a mother who would do anything for her own children, I could see why she had to get out of there. I know without being here that Blake was his usually unbearable self, and that he had probably gotten even worse over time. Especially with this plan going on. Things in this pack were very bad here for Cheryl. But her knowing that my dad was going to kill her child. I just cannot imagine the level of stress that she was under to get him out of there before he was killed. I am sure dad was on a timeline, and his resorting to drugging Blake meant he was running out of time. The pressure on her must have been immense. I do not blame Cheryl for this. I blame dad, and I believe I will be having a talk with him, just as soon as I hear that recording for myself. I was not surprised to see Blake on the steps when we pulled up. I was surprised at seeing how rough he looked. "How long has Cheryl been gone?" I asked Aaron.

"Today is the fifth day since she left. He is not doing well. I am surprised he is out here too, but that is a good thing. You will need to hear the recording, I will warn you now what you are going to be hearing today will shock you" Aaron said and I nodded at him. I do need to hear the recording for myself. I wanted to be the judge of what dad did, not that I don't believe them, I do actually. I just wanted to hear it for myself. This will probably be the last time I see dad alive, and after hearing what he has done, I do not want to be around him again. But I do want him to know my thoughts on it. I am disgusted by what he had planned for an innocent child. The Goddess must have shown my mother something very important for her to be willing to give up her life like that. I am still trying to figure out what that could be.

I have already figured out what he did. Dad drugged my mother to get her to bend to his will too. I swear to the Goddess that he is the very reason that my mother is dead. Honestly, I would like to kill him myself right now. It should have been him. He should be the one who is dead now. Then my mother would still be alive and come to live out her life at my home with us. Not being taken back to be buried on my property. It just wasn't fair, but I know why she did it now. My mother has always told dad to not mess with the Goddess's will. To not do the things he did, because the Goddess frowned on doing bad to others. It was the main reason that mom hated what dad had done to Raven. It hurt her to go along with it. I know it did to this very day. She couldn't even talk about it without crying. I am quite sure that mom would have liked to speak to Raven before she died. I do not think that Cheryl going back to Black Adder was a coincidence either. The Goddess knew what was going to happen this whole time, and probably sent her there for protection.

I know that Cheryl liked mom, I haven't been around Cheryl lately, but on the last few visits, mom would bring Cheryl up. Mom had good things to say about Cheryl, and she would mention to me that they would have a good talk. I can tell now that mom was letting me know that they were good, that they were close, and that mom understood what all Cheryl was going through, here at Black Moon. Mom mentioned some of their conversations a few months back, and that the pain of what Blake was doing was killing Cheryl. She must have been really desperate to get her son out of there, and to safety. I cannot hate her for her actions, I would do anything, including kill, for my own pups. I do not fault her, and I can forgive her for doing it. Now my father, on the other hand. I am sorry, but I just cannot find it in my heart to forgive him. My mother's blood is on his hands and I am absolutely pissed. I will be talking to him, but it will not be the joyous reunion that he was expecting it to be.
