Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter
Chapter 155

Cheryl's POV

I gave them both a tight smile and sat down on the bed to put the shoes on. "I am sorry to dampen the excitement of the night. I wanted to thank you both for all the help, all these clothes you gave me, and your friendship most of all. I have never looked so nice in my life and you two have made that possible. I cannot thank you enough for making this date tonight as special as it is. I don't think that I have ever been so excited or anticipated something so much as I have this date" I stood up and they both smiled at me like mother hens. "We went ahead and got you ready for tonight," Raven said as she went to the living room area of my apartment and opened the doors to my little balcony. A small table and two chairs were sitting out there and it looked like a little bistro. "It is still warm, although you won't be able to stay out there for too long. It will get cold after the sun goes down. But we thought this was cute, and I hope you have the very best time tonight. But I still want the pictures, and we upped the patrols for the night. You will be safe with Anton. I know for a fact that he held back during the fight today. I think that he may have been scared to show you how effective he is at fighting. Plus, he won't want to "read" you and he doesn't know if you and Blake are completely over or not, so he didn't want to hurt him," Raven told me.

I was honestly surprised because Blake was fighting, he was going hard to try to beat Anton. Blake was not pulling punches, and I am even more impressed with Anton than I was. I didn't think it was possible, as I already thought a lot about him, but knowing that he was just toying with Blake really has me even more interested in him. It gives me an increased feeling of safety that Anton can protect me from Blake. Raven had me stand near the French doors leading to the balcony to take a few pictures, she made sure for me to face the setting sun, and she was super excited about how I looked in them. She then had me go to the mirror on the dresser in my bedroom. She instructed me on how to stand, and I stood and did as she asked, got a little bored and daydreamed about Anton a little bit, and the next thing I knew there was a knock at the door.

Raven and Stella, nodded to me and motioned for me to stand back so he would only see me when he stepped into the living room. I wanted to immediately see him, but I did as they asked as I wanted to see his face when he first saw me. Raven stood near me, and Stella went to answer the door for me. Brandon was there, with the rolling cart, and he winked at me when he entered the room. I was already anxious about how Anton was going to react to seeing me and my heart was already in my throat. The wink calmed me down as it was nice of him to give me a nod to my appearance. Anton had obviously been instructed to wait in the hallway until Brandon got the rolling cart clear. I heard him ask, "Now?" before he suddenly entered the living room. He stopped short at seeing me and the sound he made when he saw me standing there made my smile even bigger. It wasn't quite a growl, but he wasn't a werewolf either. But it was a very husky sign of approval and I guess a snarl was the best way to define it. He made it to me quickly. He took me in his arms, hugged me to him, leaned down to my ear, and said, "You look good enough to eat" and that did it. I have never wanted another man, as much as I wanted this one holding me tight. The room was filling up with the scent of my arousal, and everyone took that time to hurridly excuse themselves from the room. Raven was the last one out and she said, "Just put the cart outside the door when you are done with your dinner. I will send you the pictures I took of you. I will ask Brandon before I go to punish Blake with the knowledge of what he lost today. I just don't think I will be able to stop myself from doing it. I hope you two have a wonderful night."

Anton was smiling down at me, and he looked gorgeous too. He was wearing a nice suit, and it was clear that it had been made for him. His holding me close like this made me want to ditch dinner, and just start making out with him, but I wanted to have a meal together, while it was warm, and have a nice talk while we ate our meal together. I know all of my emotions crossed my face as I tried to decide what to do, and I could tell that he was feeling it too. He slowly let me go and said, "I guess we can eat first, but you look stunning, Cheryl. You were beautiful before, but you are taking my breath away tonight." He gave me a slow turn for him to get the full effect, and he gave another low snarl like he was enjoying his view. That sound pleased me very much, even more so when he led me to the balcony to take several photos of us together, with the sunset starting to show its glory in the sky behind us.

It made me happy that he was proud to show me off. He started to help me put the items on the table and I waved him off. It was my pleasure to do it, and it was just the two trays, our drinks, and a candle in a glass jar, so the wind wouldn't put it out. I see Raven is much more effective at planning than I ever gave her credit for. She thought of everything, and it was completely perfect. He was surprised at his meal and smiled at me. He knew either I asked, or someone researched it, but it showed consideration for him, and he was happy to see what his meal was. I had the same, just not a raw steak. Mine was just medium, and it looked delicious. I had a salad as a side. I saw the smoothie sitting there on the cart and smiled as I put it in the mini-fridge. I saw three bags of blood already in there, and it made me happy that he was planning on staying with me for a little while.

We ate and had a good time on the balcony, and before I knew it, it was dark, and I had a little chill. Anton instantly got up and put his coat on me to warm me up. It did, and I enjoyed taking in his scent. I heard a growl in the distance but didn't think anything of it, that happened a lot during sparring, or an argument. It happens at all packs, and I was not going to let anything take away from this night. We have taken turns asking questions to get to know each other better. Anton took my hand in his when he went to ask his next question.

"I have received approval to build a home here on Black Adder packland. I am coming here to live, so I can be with you. I would like you to have some input as to how it is built. I was speaking to Brandon earlier, and he had been keeping the secret of my coming here, to live. It was the reason that he told you to give it some thought on your building you home. I want you and Kevin to live with me, to stay with me. I want you to make the house how you want it because I want my home to be your home. Whatever you want in it, however many bedrooms, all of it. I want your hand in all of the planning for it. What I am asking you, Cheryl is that I want you to be with me, not just tonight, but always. For me to claim you as my own, and for you to belong to me from now on. I won't pressure you for an answer right now. I know that this is a really big decision and commitment for you. Tonight can just be tonight with no pressure or any strings attached. But I want you to know that I am in it for eternity, with you. I won't just be going away tomorrow, no matter what happens tonight. I love you and I want to take care of you. If what I saw earlier in the sparring ring is what I think it is, you love me too. I want to show you what you have been missing. A man that is willing to put his life down, to protect you. I want all of you, I want to mark you as mine, so everyone knows who you belong to. Vampires take that seriously, more so than even your kind does. I want the whole world to know that you are mine. I want you to mark me as well. I want to give you time to decide if you want to proceed like that. But even if you decide that you don't want me to mark you as being mine, I want you. I want your love, your time, and your affection. Whatever you are willing to give me, is what I want. I want to prove to you that I will always love and care for you, no matter what you decide to do" Anton told me, and my eyes pooled up with tears.

I have waited my whole life to hear someone tell me something like that. I know that I am going to look like a hot mess right now, but he stood up and took a step toward me to carefully wipe my tears away. I stood up and hugged him tightly and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life too. I couldn't help but tell him that too. I was not going to leave him hanging after his declaration of love. I wanted him to know I felt the same way.

"I do love you, Anton, and I want to be with you very much. I just want to tell Kevin first. I can mark you tonight if you want. I know Kevin likes you, and he will be happy about this. He wanted to stay here anyway, and I know that he will be fine with us being together. He is your biggest fan. I just wanted to tell him and see how he felt about it, but it is a formality. He already told me to give you a chance. He is a smart boy, and older than his years, I feel terrible that he had to grow up as fast as he did. But Blake is not in my heart at all, only you. I just didn't realize you like me, you have been more than patient with me and I found myself again. I would love to help you design our home. But, I only have $20,000 to put towards the house. Thankfully that was the cost of what I was planning on building, for a three-bedroom home. Brandon was giving me some help as he knew I haven't taken a job yet. I didn't want to become a warrior just in case something happened to me, and that would leave Kevin an orphan. But I will be glad to take another job here, probably in the kitchen, as I like to cook. I am looking forward to us getting to live together here. I know that Kevin will be just as happy about us living together too. If you want you can stay in here with us, while our home is being built. I enjoy having you with me. You make me feel calm and safe, I have never felt more protected than when I am with you" I told him and the care that is in his eyes are my undoing. I am full-on crying with the happiness that I am getting my happily ever after. I am trying not to ruin my makeup, but I know that I can hang that up.

Anton lowers his head to give me a thorough kiss. It was even better than the one this afternoon, which I thought could not be topped. I want to hop up and wrap my legs around him as I could not get close enough to him right now, I want more, and I was a little embarrassed to admit it to him, as he had been so patient with me, but I was not giving him the same courtesy. I could feel his reluctance at breaking the kiss, but he spoke in a hoarse voice to me, "Before we go any further, I wanted to show you something. I wasn't intending on going too far tonight. I wasn't sure how you felt about me. I didn't want to disrespect you by searching your mind. But I know that I won't show you if we stay here in this room, and I just wanted you to see what I was thinking first." "OK, whatever you want, I will go with you. We are staying here in the packland though, right? I know that Blake is probably out there waiting on us to leave for our date. I am not going to give him the opportunity to take me, or hurt you" I asked him. "No it is here, a short walk away, but it won't take long, plus I want to see you in the moonlight," he told me, and I already know that I must look a mess from my crying. But I would go anywhere with him. We headed out and strolled for about 20 minutes into the forest. I should have changed shoes, but I didn't know we were coming out here this far. I have to say that they do make my legs look really good. I will just take them off when we get back to my room, or at least inside the packhouse. Anton was looking at me with eyes that were filled with affection, and I wondered how I didn't see it before. He is just as smitten with me, as I am with him. He has a protective arm around me as he leads me through the woods. I heard the water before I saw it. There was a little bridge across it that was so charming, and I saw that the land was already cleared for a home and a large home at that. The woods surrounded it, and it was a nice and quiet area. Separate from where most of the homes were built, it was kind of private and seemed like it was just for us. I looked around in surprise and told him, "This is really nice. I love the spot, but can we afford to build here? I am sure that this land is going to be more expensive than what he has quoted me. This place is lovely, and I would love to live here, but I don't know how much it will be. I can probably go up to $25,000 as Brandon was pricing it at cost for me. But until I can get a job here, I am scared to pay too much. I need to try to make sure that I can cover it. I don't need all the bells and whistles. I just want to stay with you and Kevin, and be happy" I told him.

The look of surprise on his face is funny to me. I am serious, I would be happy wherever he is, no matter what we were living in. We will be fine, I know he can't stay out for long in the sun so this location is perfect for him. I know he is a great fighter, but we usually train in the sun. The gym would have to be set up for him to be able to really train others during the day. he is limited in what he can do, so I do not mind carrying this load for us. I know he has limitations. I am fine with it. I just cannot wait for him to claim me as his. I am already trying to figure out if he marks me, will it automatically let Blake's mark disappear? Or will Blake have to accept my rejection before that can happen? Blake will not willingly let me go, he has had ample opportunity to do it but insists on keeping me bound to him. He will dig in even more now that he knows that we have accepted each other. But I will not give up on Anton. I want him, and I will make sure I drill that into Blake's pea size brain if I have to.

I heard a chuckle and I felt Anton's fingers lift my face up from where I am trying to figure out what all needs to be done for Blake to see that we are through. His smile lights up his face, and he dips his head down to give me another kiss. He did just like this afternoon with his hands gently cupping my jaw, and when he pulled my hair again, my moan let him know how much I wanted him. He gave that snarly sound again, and he backed me up until a tree braced me, and he ravaged my mouth. That was the only way to describe it. He took possession of it, and I never wanted our kiss to end. I wrapped my arms around his neck again because I was never going to let him stop. I wanted this so much, and I hear the snarl again as he lifted me up from the ground, and allowed my legs to wrap around his waist.

Goddess I grew even more excited at feeling his excitement, the proof of which was currently pressing into me. I had to keep myself from grinding down on him. It has been a long time. I haven't slept with Blake for over 18 months now, it has almost been two years for me without s*x. I thought that I was done, an old maid at 38 years old, but here I was in the forest with a vampire and I couldn't get enough of him. He braced me against the tree with his body and then used his arm to support me, as he shifted me to run his hand up my thigh to my panties. He kept the kiss going as he slid my panties over and used a finger to give me a rub. He immediately found my c******s and I was glad the tree wasn't directly behind me anymore as my head fell back to break the kiss and allow my moan to rise into the air. He smiled at me and then used two fingers to work magic on me.

I don't know if it is the fact that he is a vampire, or the fact that I was in desperate need of a release, or because my need for him is great, but I have never reached an o****m so quickly before in my life. It is like he knew my body better than I did, and played me like an instrument. I screamed out my pleasure into the forest. Before I could come back down, he brought my sensitive clit right back up to where he left off. I came again a short time later again screaming out his name as the waves crashed over me. I am struggling to catch my breath. My legs are shaking and I know that I cannot stand right now. I am panting and all I want now is to rest. I am thankful that he was the one literally holding me up in his arm, as I cannot stand on my own. He gave me a smirk as I was about to ask him how he was so good, when he answered me in my head, "You forget I can read minds, and speak into minds. It comes in handy for so much more than seeing if someone is lying to you or not."

I could not control my blush. I lowered my head and he nudged it back up and claimed my mouth again. I wanted this man, I want him more than I have ever wanted anyone else in my life. I got caught up in the kiss again when I felt the pressure of a mindlink. I had closed off as I just wanted to be with Anton and give him my full attention, but it was Raven. I didn't know if it was about Kevin or not, so I broke off the kiss and grudgingly told him I had a mindlink that I had to answer. He let me slide down his body, and I smiled at him and straightened my clothes as I answered her, "Raven, is Kevin OK?"

"He is, but we have a problem at the gate. Apparently, Blake is here, and he is pissed. He is insisting on speaking with you right now, or he and his men will find a way into our pack lands. He is serious about it, and we don't want anyone to get hurt, so we told him that we would have you come to speak to him. So I told him that we would get you, are you in your room? We are going to go down to the gate with you" Raven told me.

"No, I am not in my room, we took a walk after dinner, and Anton was showing me where he wanted to build his home. It is beautiful out here, so we will start walking to the gate now, give us a few minutes" I linked her back.

"We will pick you up on the way to the gate, Brandon knows exactly where you are. We will drive the SUV up to the gate. I don't know what he is up to and frankly, I just don't trust him at all" Raven replied back.

I already know that the problem is, he felt it when I orgasmed. We didn't go all the way, but I have never c*m twice with Brandon in one session in all the years we were together. I suddenly felt sad about that, because that showed me his lack of care, right there. So this little meeting he wants may have something to do with me getting off. I wonder what that felt like for him. I will be sure to ask him when I see him.
