Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter
Chapter 161

Chery's

POV

I could hear someone clearing their throat and I turned to see a few people waiting to enter the elevator. I had not heard the doors open. I could not stop the furious blush that stained my cheeks and Anton's low laughter at us being caught like teenagers in the elevator. We entered the dining room and I see everyone at the table already, and we were the last ones to get there. I can see Raven wave at me like she needed to tell me something and I saw that she had kept two seats for us near here. I nodded and we went to grab plates. Anton had drank the remainder of the first bag of blood this morning. He winked at me and said, "I have to keep my strength up. My mate is insatiable."

I felt my face heat and I knew he was teasing me, but he lasts a lot longer than I do. I am very impressed with his stamina. I feel his hand on my back as we head back to the table, and he only had some protein on his plate. The blood was really his food, but he will eat with us, which makes him more normalized in the pack. He is putting off the vibe that he is one and the same in the pack, even though they do know that he is a vampire. I know he is doing it for Kevin and me, and I love him even more for doing it. I see Kevin at the table and he seems very pleased seeing me with Anton. I told him that I would like to speak to him, and he was good with it. I think he knows that I was going to tell him that we were together, but it was much more than that. I just wanted to make sure that he was good with my change, to become a vampire too. I honestly didn't know how that was going to go. I can only pray that he realizes that I want to do it, because I love Anton, and I want to be with him.

"I got a visit from the Goddess last night, and she gave me some information that I feel I need to pass on" Raven started and I was stunned at what she said. She knew that Blake was coming too. But I was most surprised at what Cassandra had said. Anton was descended from royal vampires. That seems like it was going to be a big deal. Is Alexei going to accept me into their family? I mean he was nice to me before, but that may have been because he knew at best I had 70 years. Would he still be as welcoming to me living out my life with Anton? I was glad that Cassandra said what she did. The way she spoke really seemed like she was trying to give me peace. She knew the guilt I still felt over it. She paid the price that Graham should have paid.

I hated to hear what was about to happen. I know that Blake will be hurting from our rejecting each other, but he allowed Graham to have way too much freedom in the pack. All in an effort to get his hands on Graham's money. A lot of good it did him. I hate that he will be getting some physical punishment for this, but I will not be stepping in and fixing it for him. He created this mess and deserves some punishment for what he did to me and Kevin. He has ruined his relationship with him by denying him. Kevin is so hurt by his father's words and actions, I do not think that he will ever be able to get past it. Who am I to tell him and interfere with what the Goddess is allowing to happen? She knows exactly what he did, and exactly what he earned in repayment for it. I don't want him killed, but maybe some time to reflect will help him.

I see Alexei walking towards the table and he has Kira, Dmitriy, Polina, and Irina with him. Adrik and Ivan were not with them right now. I hope that meant it was going to be OK. Anton stands to go hug his brother and greet the rest of the team. I stand to go over as well and hug Nadia, Kira, Polina, and Irina. Nadia watches me as I hug them down the line and she said, "You are glowing, love certainly suits you sister."

They all smiled at me in a mischievous way and the teasing starts before I can shut it down. I end up having to point to the kids at the table next to us. They stop and nod in understanding before Kira said, "Do not think this is over, we need to tease you don't worry, the blushing will stop soon. It is all good fun. We are happy that he has you now."

We had a good time getting to speak to each other for about 10 minutes before the front gate advised that they were there. The vampires were already up and heading for the door and I was wondering how they knew that they were there, before we did. Anton looked at me and said, "Ivan and Adrik were at the gate already. They told them that they were here." I stood up, and Kevin did too. I am worried about him and didn't want him to go, but he said, 'I want to tell Dad goodbye. I don't plan on seeing him again." I know it should hurt him to say that, but Kevin seems very calm. I know he heard some of what was said, and I feel like I need to remind him that he cannot warn his father of what his fate will be. I know it is all over my face as he said, "I know Mom, I cannot reveal anything. I won't. I know what I can say to him, and I won't warn him of anything the Goddess or Cassandra said." He is so much older than his years, and I am glad that he has so many friends here now that he is thriving. I have never seen him so happy. "Kevin, I am worried that things will get dangerous at the gate. Your father will be madder than usual. I don't think that it is safe for you to be there, as you heard what Raven said, he is looking to hurt me and Anton. I don't know what he is capable of, and I just would prefer you to be safe with your friends" I told him.

"Mom, I know he is mad. I sent him the picture of us together last night. You looked beautiful and I told him that I hoped your date went well. I also told him that I hope he felt that pain, and I hope it hurt him, a lot. He deserved it with what he did to you, and then to act like you were being over dramatic about the pain. I hope he realizes what he did to you. I hope he remembers that pain. I hope the memories of what he did to us both, will end up hurting him every single day. I hope he regrets losing you to Anton. I will not miss a man who wouldn't stop for 10 minutes to use his brain, to keep all of what he put us through from happening. There was no reason for it, and I don't feel bad for how I am treating him now. I go to school, I know what happened. They tell you what happens when you cheat on your mate. I just want to be there for him to see what he has lost. I will not be missing him, he made his choices, and he can go deal with my i***t brother, Forest, who he thought hung the moon. I am glad to know that the child he valued the most, will be the very reason for his suffering" Kevin told us, and Anton looked at me, letting me know that it was up to me.

"Can you ask Ivan if it will be safe?" I asked him and he nodded. I knew he was speaking to Ivan. I just wanted my son to be safe at the gate. I don't want to take a chance on my son getting hurt.

"This is one of the situations where he cannot tell, it depends on what is said at the gate. Blake is really pissed, and his men are armed. It could go either way. That is why the team is here. You know that they all have skills. Alexei, Dmitriy, and Kira all can heal people, but I would rather skip that part altogether. It might be safer with Kevin there, but we can have him at the side, and out of harm's way. I would rather him be safe" Anton said to me a minute later. I agree, he should be to the side, so he is safe. "I am going to allow you to go, but I want you to stay to the side to stay safe. No matter what" I told Kevin, and he nodded in agreement. On the way to the gate. I rode with Anton and Kevin. I am tense, and I want to discuss the matter of my being changed. But right now I am nervous. Updated by FindNovel.net, visit for more free novels. I am nervous about what is going to happen. I am nervous about the coven accepting me as Anton's mate, and my being marked by him. I am nervous because I know Blake. He will want to try to shame me, to save face. I have been through enough, I just want him to accept the rejection, and then we can leave. Anton reached out and held my hand as he drove us to the gate. We could have run there, but I didn't want to do it in these boots. I can hear Blake before I can see him, and he is more pissed off than I have ever seen him. "Where is she? What can't get her a*s out of bed to come and accept my rejection? I want her here right now, and I want to get this over with, so I can leave. I have never been so disgusted, or disappointed in someone before. She would rather be with a leech than me, it makes no sense at all" Blake was yelling out. He was glaring at Brandon like it was all his fault.

Brandon was at the gate looking at him, with a bored expression on his face, "I told you that she is coming. Calm down, or you can just leave." He knew that Blake couldn't do it if he was ready to concede defeat after less than 24 hours. I mean I dealt with it for over 6 months, and he really can't make it a day? I guess I can concede that they were different. Anton was clearly a distance runner, and Blake is a sprinter. There was a rather clear difference between them. I could see that the vampires were all trying to keep it from being obvious, but some of them were smiling, and it was pissing Blake back off again when he had finally calmed down.

"Finally, here you are. You are setting a bad example for our son. Why are you out here in that outfit? You look like a slut, it doesn't even reach your knees. Where did you even get it? I am ashamed that I made you my chosen Luna. I am disgusted with your behavior last night. These men are your subordinates and yet you were out there in front of anyone who wanted to look at you, submitting to this, a*****e. I have never been more ashamed to call you my mate' Blake yelled out the moment he saw me coming. Before I could even open my mouth, Anton is at the gate growling out, "You are here to accept her rejection, so do it, and get the hell out of here. I will not allow you to say one word against my mate. Shut your mouth for anything that is not your accepting her rejection, or so help me I will kill you where you stand" Anton told him and his growl shook the gate. I have never in my life seen Anton so aggressive, and I have to say that possessive growl ended up getting my panties wet. It was not the time or the place for it, but I saw the moment that both their noses went up into the air, and then both of their heads snapped over to look at me. I already know my face is red, and my son is here. This was not an optimal situation, and I stepped forward to change the subject from me being turned on by Anton being so possessive of me.

"Just accept it, Blake. Release me from our bond, it is long over. I rejected you over a year ago, we were done then, and we are done now. Stop with the ugliness you are saying, because I didn't start this, you did. You were the one to destroy our relationship, you were the one with numerous girlfriends, and you were the one who wanted it to go the way it went. If you had spent 5 minutes talking to me or even looking into it, you would have seen the truth, but you didn't want the truth. You were perfectly content with wanting to believe the very worst of me. So go ahead and believe it, I have moved on, to a man who loves me, and builds me up, instead of tearing me down" I told him, and Blake is almost shaking in anger.

I looked at Anton and looked over to Kevin for him to step away. We both know if anyone gets shot it will be him because he blames Anton for our breaking up. I just wanted to make sure that all the warriors with him, knew that no matter what bullshit Blake said, this was ALL on him, and not on me. He made choices for both of us and then thought that I was just going to forgive him again. Well, he got some bad intel on that from Graham. He can take it to Graham with any complaints he has.

"I cannot believe that you would throw away over 16 years together for that monster. I was patient, I was waiting for you to calm down. I am sorry. I will still take you back, right now, no questions asked. I will just take this as you're getting me back for my stupid actions. I know that you cannot condemn our love like this. I know how much you loved me. That cannot be gone so quickly, I still love you, and I still want you baby. Look, you made a mistake, and I am willing to overlook it, as long as you come back with me right now" Blake told me and he was speaking in a gentler tone. His words were smooth and he lowered his voice to speak to me because I used to love it, but it is doing nothing for me now. "You can believe it, Blake, we are done. I am only here to accept the rejection. So please, go ahead and get on with it. I have things to do, and I need to speak to Kevin. So just go ahead and accept it. You and your men can roll out of here, right now. This is just a formality, and I need to make sure that Kevin is OK with what is about to happen. So, please just accept it, so we can all go on with our lives" I asked him, and I kept my tone calm, and my words friendly. I knew that he was digging in now, and I really wanted him to do what he came to do. I didn't want him to find out that I was going to let Anton mark me. He would really refuse to reject me then, out of sheer spite. But I believe another night like last night would seal the deal for him. He would be hurt, and he would have to admit defeat. Just thinking about the last 12 hours, I gave a shudder, and my arousal was clear again. I see Anton looking at me with a smirk. I couldn't stop my smile back at him. Yes, I have plans today, and they involve us being in our room for the rest of the day after we speak to Kevin.

"What do you need to discuss with Kevin? You are surely not going to date that a*s are you? Seriously, Cheryl, he is just using you. Can you not see that? He probably just wanted to sleep with a she-wolf, and you were ripe for the picking. I mean he could have anyone he wants probably. Why in the hell would he pick you? Out of all the women probably throwing themselves at him? I will tell you why. You were dumb enough to fall for it. You were so happy to have him even look at you, you were probably no challenge to him at all. There is no way in hell that he is not just using you right now. He will use you for a while, and then throw you away. You are definitely not his type, you are not even his species. You are being tricked by a man who is probably a playboy and doesn't even care about you at all. He is in it for a good time, and you are good in bed, so I cannot blame him there. But you are the mother of 4 children. How in the hell could you think that he would want you? You are absolutely stupid if you think he did want you at all. He is just having fun, and then he will dump you. I guess, I might take you back if you begged me. I will have to think about it. But after you decided to be with that bloodsucker, I just can't see allowing you to come back to my bed after that" Blake told me. My heart is in my throat as I hear the vicious words come out of his mouth.

My doubts come flying back to me, it is so easy to do, especially if you haven't been built up for a while. Everything that Anton told me, and those wonderful words that he said. I just can't stop the doubt from creeping in. What Blake says makes sense. I am standing here, in something that a woman in her twenties should wear, and my confidence in my appearance is now gone. I am 38 years old. I felt sexy and attractive earlier, but I don't anymore. I am fighting back the tears, as my shame at being called out in front of everyone is absolutely humiliating. I would like to be anywhere but here, and I guess it is too much to hope for the ground to open up and swallow me right now. I would love to be in my room alone now, for a couple of hours to try to figure this out. I hate that Raven, Brandon, and Justin, are here to see my complete mortification. The worst part is that my son was here for this awkward situation, and I can feel that Kevin is furious for me.

"You piece of st, how dare you talk to my mate like that. How dare you try to tear her down again. That is all you can do because you lost this wonderful woman. I can assure you that she will not be coming back to you again. You lost, and I won. So, just accept her rejection, or we are leaving right now. I guarantee you that your next 24 hours will be incredibly painful as I take my mate, over and over again. You can even sit your little perverted a*s out here to hear the show. I will make sure you hear my name on her tongue over and over again today. Let me assure you Blake that I want Cheryl, every moment, of every day. It killed me to stay away from her when she came back here, but she needed to heal from all the st that you put her through. You are just disgusting with what you said to her, and not a bit of it true. I plan on taking her Blake, whether you accept her rejection or not. There are ways around it, and I swear to your Goddess, that I will find the one that will be the most painful to you, and take that route. I don't mind paying a witch to make your mark disappear. I don't mind getting with the werewolf and vampire councils to see what I need to do to get your brand off of her. But make no mistake about it, Cheryl is mine. I will mark her, and I will mate her over and over again. Accept the rejection, because I promise you if you keep standing there badmouthing MY woman, I will kill you and she won't need your rejection any longer" Anton told him and he is enraged.

I stepped up to him and he instantly wrapped me in his arms, sniffing my neck and making little growling noises. He is calming me back down and I needed him. I need his strength, and I cannot stop the tears I spill from the ugliness that Blake spewed. His is vile, and I want this to be over with, right now. I don't want to look at Blake ever again. Anton knows this as he keeps facing Blake, he is keeping my face buried in his chest, as his hand strokes my back to comfort me. I can feel the anger radiating off of him and I know that he is fuming. I bet he would kill him, and think nothing of it. If Kevin weren't here, I would be good with that. I was just about to ask Justin to take Kevin away with him when Kevin steps up between me and Blake.

"You know, Blake, once upon a time, I would have done anything for you to claim me as your own. To be proud of me, to acknowledge me as being your son. Thankfully, those days are long gone. I can assure you that I will be well taken care of, by Anton for the rest of my life. He is building a home for us to live in. He loves my mother, and I have never seen her as happy as she had been for the last 16 hours, right up until your arrogant self got here. I am glad to call him my dad, he has loved and cared for me as much in 10 months' time as you have my whole life. Do not come back here again. I will miss Robert, but I will not miss anyone else. You stay with your pack, and we will stay here. Now accept my mother's rejection, before you end up disgusting me further that my own father would say such things to the woman he claims that he loved. I cannot believe it, I refuse to believe it. Everyone present here knows what happened. You tricked a good woman into becoming your chosen mate. You broke her down to be willing to accept the scraps you wanted to give her. You had her work for the pack but didn't make the pack respect her. I don't know why you are fighting this so hard other than the fact that she managed to escape you and take me with her. I guess the thought of her willing to leave you, to save me, must hurt you pretty badly. I will tell you that it will never hurt you, as much as you and Graham hurt my mother and me. Accept it, and leave, or I swear to the Goddess that Anton will have my complete support and assistance in getting your bond broken" Kevin told Blake.

I can see the shock of what Kevin said on his face, but Kevin is mad and has put himself between us. I love him, but I don't trust Blake around him. I caught Anton's eyes and sent him a message for him and Kevin to step to safety. I turned back to Blake as soon as they stepped clear of him and said, "Either you accept my rejection, or you need to leave. I am giving you one minute, Blake. But take what Anton said to you as being the truth. If you thought the last 12 hours were bad, just wait until you see what happens in the next 24."
