Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter
Chapter 164

Raven's

POV

The next day, I got a phone call from Reagan. She was panicked and speaking quickly into the phone. I could hear the fear in her voice and she was almost hysterical. I was trying to piece together what she was saying, but she wasn't making any sense to me. I had to ask her to hand the phone over to Clive. He was much calmer, but I see what the problem is pretty quickly. I had no idea that things would be changing quite this fast. I should have realized that Blake would want to kill Graham over what happened. Apparently, Blake speaks to Aaron every day. Things had not been going well at Black Moon for a while now because Blake was coming here to visit Cheryl two to three times a week.

Blake had been suspicious of a few things changing at Black Moon for a few months now, things that he didn't authorize. He knew he was being undermined, but he didn't know who was behind it just yet. Aaron had told Reagan that Blake had been trying to draw them out but had not found out who the culprit was yet. The person he suspected most, could not have done it as he had been in the cells. Now Aaron knows that Blake had been right all along. Graham had been the one doing it. Blake just couldn't figure out how he could be getting into his office. Graham was supposed to be locked up, so he had to be having a great deal of help. They were trying to figure out how to take the bank account back over. But Blake had changed the password again. He knew he would be demoting both Marc and Garrett and didn't want them hijacking the account back from him. Marc knew what the original username and passcode were, so Blake changed them so only he and Reagan knew how to log into the account. Blake and Reagan have now run it for over a year now with no problems or issues.

Today Reagan got a call from Robert. He was scared as Blake was locked up, and Forest was picking on him. Cheryl had told him to use the landline in the kitchen and call Reagan if an emergency ever came up. He told her that Forest had taken over the pack with Graham and that Forest was mad with power. Robert was scared and wanted out, but didn't have a cell phone to call Cheryl with. I could see the emergency, I had no idea that they were going to implement this so quickly. I wondered how long they had been coming up with it. I hate that Graham was free, but we knew it was coming after the Goddess came to me in my dream. I am worried about Reagan too. I knew that she and Blake were running the banking account that belonged to Graham. I am sure that Blake will be keeping his mouth shut for as long as he could, but with bad enough t*****e, anyone will talk. They needed to get their hands on the money and we needed to get there quickly to get Robert out. We needed Nadia to get him out of there, and I mindlink Cheryl to come down to Brandon's office with Anton as soon as they could get there. I never called her to the office like this, and she would know that it is an emergency. I grabbed Justin and we headed there now, I had Ginger my assistant with my younger children. I knew we were going to have to head out fast.

I had told Clive to give us about 20 minutes to get on the road and that I would call them back to give them the information on what we were going to do to get Robert out of Black Moon. Brandon and Justin already had a team together who were going to go ahead and get the weapons that we needed to protect ourselves from the gate guards at Black Moon. Reagan had told Robert to just act normally, but most ignored him anyway, as he was the least known of all their children. Forest was the soon-to-be Alpha, and Casey was the daughter, and they were both well known. Kevin was only known for being the bastard child, but Robert was not really known at all. She told him to find another landline at 6 pm and to call her back to be given instructions on what to do. She said to just go down and eat like normal, to not change his pattern, and then find a phone that was not in view of anyone to make the next call. I was glad that Cheryl had given him Reagan's number. I wish we could just go get him right now, I know that he has to be terrified by what has happened.

We heard the knock at the door and Brandon calls out, "Enter" because we can all scent Cheryl at the door. Anton and Kevin were right behind her as she entered quickly. She was openly anxious about why she had been summoned. "What happened?" she asked as she held onto Anton's hand. Brandon brought her up to speed, and she had to sit down. I could understand her panic. Robert was in a great deal of danger, and we all knew it. Brandon was speaking with Anton for a short time. Anton quickly left the room to go call Alexei, to get a team together to help us get Robert out of Black Moon. At the very least Nadia would be needed to get him up and over the gate, or over the pack's border wall. I sat next to Cheryl and told her that we would be getting him back, I reminded her that most paid no attention to him, and that it had just been a day, surely we would be able to extract him. They would not be expecting us to show up so quickly, plus I was sure the Goddess was on our side.

"I am going too," Cheryl said as she stood. Kevin stepped forward and said, "I want to go as well." I knew that they were both going to want to go, but they were not safe there, and this needs to be a quick in and out. "No, Graham will want to kill you Cheryl, I don't want you to go" Anton stated as he re-entered the room.

"He is my son, he will need me. He will be scared and confused" Cheryl said, and I can hear the fear in her voice. I would be scared too. Graham is free, and there is no doubt that he is taking full advantage of the whole thing.

"Cheryl, I will be there and he knows Anton too. He can stay between us when we go. Graham is losing it, he took over, and he is furious at you for the punishment that he has received over the last year. There is no telling what he will do. Clive and Reagan, are coming, with some warriors and packing up now. Once Graham realizes that she changed everything over to her own private username and passcode, they will be after her. They are packing now to come here too. Brandon will be letting them build them to stay in the new packhouse for the duration until we get Graham and Black Moon dealt with" I told her.

"I will bring your son back safely. You can trust me. You need to stay here, I know it will be hard, but we will be back very soon. Alexei and the team are gearing up right now and will be at the gate here soon. We can leave when they get here. We will get Robert out, and safely back here with us. He can live with us. We will be starting to build soon, think about the house, and how you want it. Look at dream kitchens, I know you want to go, but I think it would be easier on you to stay here with Kevin. I don't want to give Black Moon the opportunity to hurt either of you" Anton told Cheryl. He is right, her being so anxious will not help out at all, and it would be best if she stayed behind.

"You need to have her tell Robert that he needs to go hide where we used to play. You also need to tell her who is coming for him, so he can be looking for them. He hasn't interacted with you that much, I don't know if he would come to you. I wish you would let me go too. I know that area like the back of my hand. We both played there because I couldn't play with the rest of the kids in Black Moon. We learned to be on our own. They will see him if he comes to the gate. There were some places we liked to hide in that were about a mile past the gate. He needs to hide there, and someone will have to go over and help him get over the gate. They would shoot him if they saw him attempting to leave. They don't care about him at all. He is just like me, the pack will survive without him. It is on the Blood Tracker side, I would say to park about a mile, to a mile and a quarter up the road, there were some trees that had exposed roots, and we hid in there, and also in the hollows of some of the trees, we are bigger now, but he should still be able to hide until you can get to him" Kevin told us.

"Kevin is right, he would be the ideal person to go in with them, to find Robert quicker. He would know exactly where we need to go over the wall. We can't be yelling out for him, it would attract notice rather quickly" Anton said to us. Cheryl could feel our gazes on her, and she sighed before she said, "Kevin is right. They played there all the time, and he would be able to locate him the quickest. You need to remember that Blake had the perimeter fence installed with pressure plates at the top of them. If you hit one of them, you will have about 3 to 4 minutes to be clear of the area before a patrol shows up. Please be careful Kevin. I cannot lose any of you, promise me that you will be safe."

Anton wrapped her in his arms and hugged her to him. We all started to head out of the room to give them privacy as he spoke to her and comforted her. I called Reagan back and told her what to tell Robert. I told her to tell him to not make it obvious and to act naturally so they wouldn't suspect anything if they called to check on Reagan. She is going to meet us there near Black Moon. Justin had contacted my father, Cole, to let him know what we were going to do. We didn't need help with the extraction, but in case we had them chasing us, we would need to stop there for protection. Dad agreed and told us to let him know when we were coming in, as they could help us on our way in as well. Kevin hugged his mother too, and I nodded at her, we have got this. We trained for several different potential problems, and our men were all well-trained too. I just hope that we can get in and out before we are found out. I was glad she mentioned that. I didn't know that they had them, we had them in our pack too, and they do come in handy. Graham will give the go-ahead to kill us for making the attempt. We pulled outside the gate to wait for Alexei and his team. Anton was in the SUV with us and told us when to pull out, as they were almost there. There were a total of 4 SUVS heading down the road together in the convoy. It was Brandon and Justin in the front. Anton and I are seated in the second row, and Kevin is in the back. Two of the SUVs were carrying four warriors each, and their weapons in the back of the SUV behind the last row of seats. The last one held Alexei and his coven. I didn't know who was in there, but I knew Nadia was definitely going to be there. Her skill set was perfect for this, and I prayed again for us to be able to get this done. We arrived in the area at 520. We were early, and only about 10 minutes away from their pack now. We stopped to make sure that the plan was set in stone. One of the SUVS of warriors was going to set up before the gate. They were about a quarter mile from it, and in a good place to be able to cross the median to go to the other side if needed. Justin was with that group. Alexei was going to come with us, and he would be going over the wall with Anton, and Kevin, to find Robert.

The vampires would be parked behind us. Kira was staying with us, as well as Dmitriy. The second SUV of warriors would carry Polina and Irena with them. If a problem arose, Polina would use her powers to create fire and melt the gate together. Irina would build a wall of ice to keep their gate guards from shooting out of the pack. We were all wanting it to go smoothly, but we knew who we were dealing with, and knew that we needed to get in, and out quickly.

At 555 we all got into the vehicle that we were going to ride in, to leave the area that we had been waiting in. The good news was that since it was fall, it was getting darker a lot earlier, and that will help us as well. We had just pulled into our positions when Reagan called and said that she had spoken to Robert and that he would be in place for us to pick him up in the next 10 minutes. She said that they were parked on the other side of the hill from us and ready to go when we had Robert. I told her that since they had the children with them, for them to go ahead and pass up Black Moon and get a few miles up from us to safety. I told her I would call her when we are leaving here. Robert had told Reagan that he felt like he was being watched, so he was going to go back up to his room, and then come down and go out through the back stairwell. We waited for a little while and Alexei who was carrying Kevin, and Anton who would carry Robert back over, jumped easily onto the top of the 10-foot wall. They jumped down to the other side, and Dmitriy walked up to Brandon and said, "Anton said that he hit one of the perimeter sensors. We need to be prepared for company." Brandon quickly linked the other, and Dmitriy did the same with their group. I could hear howls going up into the night as the patrols started heading this way. I could also hear them calling for Robert, they knew someone was there, no further need to be silent. Then we heard the gunshots. Things started moving quickly then.

I could see the giant ball of fire hit the gate. She needed to get this done, and she was creating the second ball to send over when the shooting started. I could see Irina getting her ball of ice building from where we were. Our men started to return fire at them and held them down, and Polina managed to get the second ball of flame on the gate. We had to keep them from leaving in an SUV to chase us, and she had to work fast to keep them from being able to open the gate before she got it taken care of. I see the wall of ice taking shape as Irina makes the third section, just as we heard a noise above us. Alexei and Kevin had just landed on the top of the wall when the shooting started. Nadia went to jump up onto the wall to help, but Alexei said, "It is too late, just come get Kevin." Dmitriy jumped up to get Kevin and then jumped back down to the ground. Kevin headed to the back row of the SUV. I could hear loud whining noises coming from the patrol headed our way. Alexei jumped back up with Robert in his arms and left him at the top of the wall to jump back down. Dmitriy jumped up to get Robert, and Alexei hit the top of the wall about 20 seconds later holding Anton. It was clear that he had been shot. Alexei jumped down and jumped into our SUV with Anton and started to work on healing him as Brandon turned us around. The boys were on the last row and silent as Alexei started to heal Anton. "I have got you, brother," Alexei told Anton as he worked on him. Brandon made a quick turn and Dmitriy was right behind us. We saw several SUVS at the gate as we passed Black Moon to leave, but they couldn't get the gate to open due to the gate having melted together and it would not separate.

I saw Graham standing there, furious at the fact that they had lost Robert. I saw Forest standing there with him, and he was pissed as well. I bet he was the one following Robert. I bet they thought that Cheryl would come for him, and they could take Cheryl prisoner to get Blake to talk. I know they are angry that their plan failed. I am glad I sent Reagan and her children on, as there were shots fired today, and it was a very dangerous situation. We stopped for a moment at Reagan's convoy of SUVs. Alexei got out with Anton and got in the vampire SUV, for Kira to help him continue to heal Anton. Justin got in the front seat again. I used up a whole container of wipes I had to clean up the venom that Anton lost in the SUV. He does not have blood, but they do have a venom that runs through them, similar to blood. It helps to lubricate their joints, moistens their eyes, and keeps them able to function. I am worried about the amount of it in the SUV. I have no idea if they need to give him a transfusion of their venom, or if they even could. I would think that he would need blood to help him heal. I remember them mentioning that although Alexei and Dmitriy can heal, Kira is the one that does the best job of it and is the strongest at healing for their coven.

Brandon takes the lead heading back to Black Adder with the vampires right behind us. Reagan's group of four SUVS is behind the vampires, with our warriors taking up positions about a mile behind the group. We make good time heading back, and we have no one following us back. I know that they are going to have to get something to be able to cut through that mess of melted steel at their gate. The thought of just how mad Graham was at us getting Robert, almost makes me smile. The only thing preventing it was the fact that Anton got hurt in it. I am not calling Cheryl to tell her that. I wish Alexei or one of the group was in here with us, so we would know how Anton was doing. As we raced back home through the dark night, my only worry was not of the retribution that was coming from Black Moon. It was for Anton and his condition. I told Cheryl that it was going to be OK. How could it be OK? If she lost her new mate, and the love of her life, to get her son back safely, how would she be able to move forward? The guilt over it would eat her alive. Anton needs to be OK, or else Cheryl is going to be crushed.
