Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter
Chapter 141

Reagan's

POV

It is dusk now, and Clive and I were standing outside as we brought the children back in for the night. Some of the children that had been staying overnight with us had been out here earlier playing with them too. Well before dusk arrived, their parents called them back in. We had called our children in and they were just entering the house, when I saw the flash of movement in the woods. They are here, and there are well more than three of them in their group. I immediately started walking back towards the house with Clive, and I heard Draven's voice calling across to me, "Have you made a decision, love?"

He clearly cannot stop, and I did not reply back to him, there was no point. Our entering the house and locking the door after us, was the answer. Everyone was in place already. The Vampires had their own kind of tarp-like cover that they used as they went to where they were assigned about 30 minutes ago. Warriors went with them to both the pack house and the hospital. The warriors were a dual purpose, the first was for them to introduce themselves to the other warriors. The second was to make sure that no harm came to them. They needed to make sure that they knew who the good guys were. If they were assaulted, these women would be attacking them back, as they should protect themselves against any unwarranted attack. Jeremy and three other lead warriors had come here an hour ago to get to know the group before escorting them to where they needed to go. The warriors were respectful, but very cautious around them. They should be, from what I have heard from the stories they told before they left. Every single person in this group that came, was a verified killing machine. They had no fear of the group that was coming to attack us tonight. I was surprised when I saw Nadia use her power on Blake. I almost laughed, but we just got to talking to each other again, and I didn't want to ruin it by laughing at him being stopped in midair by her.

She had to stop him though. He was going to press the issue, and that was not what he needed to do. We all knew that he was desperate to get Cheryl back. He really needed to slow down and think about what he had done to her. Not in the dismissive way that he had been previously. He needed to face what he put her through, and the fact that was most damning to him. He willingly listened to someone who could not be trusted and refused to listen to his mate. The woman he chose to be his Luna, and the mother of his children. Aaron had to calm him down as he wanted to storm up to my room to speak to her. It was driving him crazy that she was alone in a room with two men, but Anton came back down. He walked over to Blake and after he spoke to him, Blake completely calmed down. I guess Blake got some good news or pertinent information that he wanted. Whatever it was, it helped him to deal with his anger over the doctor who was constantly dismissive of Blake.

Our warriors had built four small huts for the male vampires, with the items that the vampires had brought with them. They were put near the tree line in four spots, none of which were near the areas they usually entered and exited. Justin and Brandon had gone out and climbed up to a spot where they had a view of the area, without them being able to be spotted. They both had camouflage netting that prevented them from being seen from the ground. The netting was draped behind them and on the sides. That netting, combined with the spray that blocked their scent, made them undetectable. The scent would last for 8 hours, but they wouldn't need it for that long. Aaron had gone to the Packhouse, with the warriors, and vampires. He had mindlinked the whole pack to announce that the female vampires at both the pack house and the hospital, were not to be disrespected. He told everyone in no-nonsense terms that we had 9 vampires here to help us in our time of need. That they were risking their own lives to be here to take down a threat that was solely here to kill us. I was proud of him, and what he was doing to bridge that gap between us. I was glad that he pointed out the difference between them so the pack members knew that the ones helping us, were also disgusted by the behavior of the ones that were attacking us.

Raven announced to the room, "Justin and Brandon both counted a total of 13 vampires that had come onto the packland. They also said to thank Reagan for the walk through the area, as from where they are set up, the vampires went right between them. They will be leaving the same way and they will pick them off if they try to escape". Clive immediately sent out the link to Aaron for him to advise all of the warriors. Anton sent out the same message to his group as well. From the smile on his face, I knew that they were excited about the opportunity to end this coven of violent vampires. There are always covens that are the reason for the bad reputations that they carry. This goes for both vampires, witches, and even werewolves because rogues give us all a bad reputation. Most packs want to be left alone and safely raise their pups. They are not violent nor do they cause any problems, but there are always a few that have to be problem children for everyone. The same goes for covens, some are good ones, and some aren't. I had heard the conversation about what was needed if anyone attempted to get away. Both Justin and Brandon have night vision glasses, they had a wrap around the sides of them to keep any light out, and you didn't have to use them with your hands like binoculars or goggles. These were able to be worn and allowed the user to be able to see where they were aiming and be able to use the crossbow at the same time, as they were hands-free. I have to admit that Justin and Brandon had come prepared. No wonder no one has attempted to attack Black Adder. It would be a fool's errand to do so if they were able to be prepared this quickly. It showed that they already had it in their pack, and were ready for any kind of attack imaginable. It makes me wonder what they are so prepared for. We do not have anything like that here, and I can see from this experience, that we honestly need it. I made mental notes that after we get our perimeter in place, we need to get trained like Black Adder was to be able to defend ourselves. I can hear Draven outside the door, scratching his nails across it, and deliberately trying to get me anxious. I know he can hear me as my heart rate increased at him messing with me. We had put more of the pack members at the packhouse for tonight, as it was a known fact that he was coming for me. Most of them didn't want to be here anyway as they knew that this would be where they would be focusing their attack. I guess it was easier for him to sense where I was now with fewer people here. I cannot help the leap of fear that I have at his insistence in taking me. Now that I know he was just wanting me for my power, and lied about the mate thing, I am even more pissed off about this whole thing. How many women had he done this to? Women that he was probably scaring to death by his doing this, taking them from their homes, and their families. All because he was interested in them.

I have to say that having Anton, and his calming presence here, is a game-changer for me. I would probably be hysterical at this point if he and his group were not here to help us. I realized at this moment that everyone here is willing to fight to the death, to stop them. That means a lot, especially for the people who I have wronged, that 6 of them were here to help me, and Blood Tracker, out of this mess. I will owe Raven, Justin, Brandon, Cole, Blake, and Cheryl, so much more than I could ever be able to repay them after this. They came, and helped, without expecting anything in return, even after the horrible things that I did. I am grateful that the Goddess put it on their hearts to forgive me for my previous actions. Raven's mates took the initiative to make sure that the problem would be solved tonight. There would not be a good outcome for me, or this pack if they hadn't come here with the vampires tonight.

Raven announced, "They are working on getting into the packhouse, and the hospital. Both places advised that there are four vampires at each location." Clive relayed the information to Aaron to send out to the warriors. Anton did the same for the vampires. We all knew that they would already know that they were already there, but having a specific number associated with the attackers helped. It let you know how many would be pouring in after they managed to find a weak spot to enter at each location. Everyone was prepared, and I could hear them walking on the eaves of the second story, right now. My children and Cheryl were up there, yes they had warriors with them, but I needed to get up there to protect my children. I needed to go up there and make sure that they are all safe. Clive, Anton, and Blake were right behind me as I went up. Draven knows how much I love my children. Getting possession of one, or more of them, I would trade places with the kids to keep him from hurting them. I would do it in a heartbeat, and he knew that from the first night when I shot him trying to defend them. He knew they were mine, as they have my scent all over them. He is willing to do any underhanded thing to force me into going with him, and it is right at nightfall now. That means that there are 5 vampires working on getting inside my home.

There are three warriors who were great sharpshooters from both the Blood Walker pack, and three more from Black Adder who were in the trees on either side of my home, the pack house, and the hospital. There were two stationed at each location and were all equipped with night vision glasses as well. They all have bullets that were soaked in wolfsbane, and a liquid made from white vervain. It will hurt them enough for them to get weak, and not be able to get up to them in the trees if they are discovered. Cheryl was seated with my children as she comforted the younger ones, and the doctor was also armed, and near the window, waiting to see if they will be able to get through our defenses. He sent a relieved glance at me when he saw us arrive with Anton. Anton had used the scent blocker too, so Draven and his crew will not know that Anton is here, unless they managed to get through our defenses, and into my room. I can tell that they are being methodical about trying to find an entry point at my home. I can tell from the sounds I was hearing at all the windows on the second floor they brought tools to be able to get through our defenses faster tonight. Apparently, they just wanted to grab me and get out of there. Just in case we hurt one of them with our primitive weapons. Anton walked up beside me and held up a piece of paper that read "talk to him and keep him distracted. Alexei and the group are about to move in to surround them. When I give you the word, we will all attack at all three locations at the same time, so they cannot come here to help him." I nodded at him and walked over to the window. I also have my gun on me, and I had also dipped my bullets in the same liquid mixture. He won't be just hopping back up this time like he did the last time.

"You need to leave here Draven. I will not be going with you. I do not want to go, and I do not trust you at all. Please just leave me in peace" I called out. I knew no matter where he was around my home, he would hear me and what I said to him. Sure enough, about 20 seconds later I heard his feet land outside my window.

"Oh, my love, I will not be leaving here without you. As a matter of fact, I may even take your lovely daughter along with us. I need you to come with me without a fight, so I have decided that your oldest daughter will accompany us. She looks to be a teenager, and as soon as she turns 18, I am sure one of the members of my coven will take an interest in her, and accept her. She has your power running through her as well. Corbin believes you are stunning too, and will not mind waiting for your daughter to turn of age. As soon as he and Nyx take care of that guy who stabbed him in the back, he will be over here to help me take you and your daughter to our coven. That way you will never be alone, she will be there with you" Draven said to me. I am so upset, I could throw up right now. I cannot stop the shudder of disgust over these men wanting to take my daughter with us. She is only 14 years old, and I am angry right now. I know he can feel it because he taunts me with it.

"Do not be upset, my love. I am here to take you with me, and I will protect you both. It is my coven, and what I say goes," Draven tells me, and his cockiness makes me want to shoot him right now. But I don't know exactly where he is, and until I can see him, I will not waste a precious bullet. They are all earmarked for whoever touches my Tatiana or any of my children. I will not let them touch one hair on her head. I closed my eyes and prayed to the Moon Goddess that she will protect my baby girl.

"We refuse to leave with you. Go find someone else to catch your eye. I will not allow you bloodsuckers to take me, or my child" I yelled back at him. I looked at Anton, and mouthed, "Sorry" to him. He smiled and nodded at me and motioned me to continue to speak so I can keep his attention on me.

"Oh, you will both be coming, whether you like it or not. I already told you lovely, you are mine. I plan to make sure that happens. I have put great thought into tonight, and nothing will stop me from taking you. But this will be a night that you will never forget. You refused to come with me when I asked you to so nicely. You will have to learn a lesson for that, but I won't punish you. No, I plan on taking your mate's life, right in front of you as you are helpless to stop me. You will cry and scream as I drain the blood from your mate, as you feel his terror and pain. I will not be gentle with him about it, as I will make him suffer because you dared to reject my offer. I wanted to treat you like a queen, and you basically spit in my face at my offer. So you will have to learn. That is the main reason that I will be taking your daughter. If you fail to fall in line, like I am asking you to, I will kill her, right in front of you too. Then I will send my people here, to get another one of your children, or maybe multiple children. They will have no one here left to protect them with their father dead, will they? You need to learn a lesson for your brazen disregard for my gracious and considerate invitation. I was captivated by your beauty, and I made you a thoughtful proposition. I picked you to be mine. You should have been grateful for the offer, as you are basically a dog as far as worth. You will now have to earn my favor again. You will have to work for it, and if you please me, then you and your daughter will be safe, and well taken care of. If you decide to disobey me again, let's just say that I will make sure that you are very sorry for it" Draven told me, and my heart drops into my stomach.

He is angry because I didn't fall at his feet with his offer. How could he expect me to though? I am too scared to speak when I hear a voice call out from right behind me.

"Who are you to threaten my sister? Are you crazy? No one will be leaving here with you today. I will die protecting both my sister and my niece. You might as well pack up and leave now if you think that you will be doing any of what you just said to anyone here. You need to just stop talking crap, and leave here. We "dogs" are more than happy to take a bite out of you if you push us. But you will not be killing her mate or anyone else in this house. You are clearly in need of an attitude adjustment and we will be absolutely glad to give it to you. Get off the house, get out of our packland, and stay away from her. She is not for you and never will be, no matter what you try to do" Raven called out to him, and he growled out in anger at being so disrespected. Raven had come up carrying one of the many swords in the house. From the sound of things we may be needing it soon. I am glad Anton has one too, and we can all hear the blows of heavy tools hitting the wood we have in place on the windows. Anton was out of sight once Draven managed to get a large piece of the wood out of the way to see both me and my sister standing shoulder to shoulder looking back at him. We both were defiant to him and the sound he made when he saw us both standing there was completely disgusting.

"Well, well, I get a two-for-one deal today, as I like to have a beautiful variety in my life. I believe that I will take you both, and your daughter. I will have to kill your mate quickly my love, so we can go ahead and get out of here" Draven said as he continued to use a sledgehammer to knock off the wood outside, and inside the window, as he worked hard to get inside. We both saw the clear interest he had in us both and his delight at the thought of getting the two of us, at the same time. He is not focused on anything but breaking down the pieces we put in place to secure the room. We can hear the vampires at several of the windows as they try to enter my home. We both stepped back to stand in front of my children as Draven finally busted the window open. The shattered glass fell all around as he then started to knock down the 2×4 boards that we put up as a barrier on the inside of the window. He smirked at us as he made his way into the room followed by two more vampires who gave up on the other windows, to come inside with him. I didn't hesitate as I lifted my gun and started unloading the first magazine into them.
