Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter
Chapter 166

Graham's POV

I have to run home to shower, I am covered in Blake's blood, and I am enjoying giving him the payback that he deserves. That bastard has left me beaten and bloody well over 200 times in the last year. The only days that he skipped were on days he visited that b***h. I was so damn close to killing her. I am still shocked that she was able to escape. My jaw clenched in anger at just the thought of it. I had her where I wanted her, and yet she lives. I know something happened there because when he came back yesterday, he was indeed going to kill me. My legs cried at me running but I was literally running for my life. He was going to kill me where I stood if I hadn't. I knew where my men would be, and so I had to let them know that it was time to start our plan. Every time that i***t Alpha left, we would go into the office, and try to find the login information to take back over my bank account. It was nowhere to be found in the office, not even in the safe and we were frustrated. We had even checked his apartment and each of the children's rooms. Even Marc was angry as he was the go-to guy for the technical aspects of the pack. He was especially angry, that Blake had cut him out as a trusted ranked wolf, as was Garrett. They were mad when he just called them into the office and demoted them both. The worst part for them was that they had been training their sons to take over their positions from them. Blake had not decided if he was going to allow them to do that or not yet. I had assured both of them, that should they assist me in correcting the wrong way that Blake was running the pack, I would have them both reinstated, and their sons would take over their positions when the time came to do so.

They even got Travis on board with our plan. Forest was thrilled at getting to take over the pack sooner, than later. He was angry at his dad for even considering taking his mom back. He was angry with her for trying to control what he bought or spent money on. He wanted an Audi for his first car, and Cheryl had shot it down when he had brought it up at dinner. She said that it was too expensive, and not a good choice for a first car. He told her he wasn't planning on wrecking it. She reminded him that no one plans on wrecking, it was just a part of life. He had been furious with her ever since because Blake had sided with Cheryl about it. That had really pushed him over the edge. Forest was putty in my hands after that. I had told him that as soon as I got control of my money again, that I would be sure to buy him his dream car.

Garrett had found his mate, Elise, a short time after Blake and Cheryl got together. They actually had two daughters first when they started having pups. In this pack, much like I did in my own pack, we didn't allow women to have ranked positions. They weren't strong enough fighters and they made rash decisions. So, although his oldest daughter Tina, who was almost 16, was indeed at the top of the class in training. She was never going to be promoted to Beta, no matter what she did. Neither was her sister, Sheila, who was also a great fighter and was almost 15 and a half. They were 6 months apart, as Garrett wanted a boy so as soon as she was cleared he tried again, only to get another girl. I understood his frustration, as I wanted a boy, but no matter what I did, I never could get one. Despite me not using protection with any of my girlfriends, or Cassandra. I tried and tried for years to get a son, only to find that there was nothing wrong with any of us. That it was obviously the Goddess punishing me. She might have prevented me from having Reagan too, but she was conceived the same night as Raven was. I know Reagan only got a pass because Cassandra was fertile, and was already pregnant with Raven. Otherwise, I doubt that I would have had any children at all. The Goddess likes to b**t into my business all too often now, and I know why. I never knew that Cassandra was a descendant of hers, and I bet Cassandra didn't know either. Cassandra never let a reason to brag go, if she had a reason to build herself up, she always took it. There was no way she knew beforehand that she was, or she would have told anyone and everyone about her illustrious background.

I used to be so proud of my daughter, she looked up to me so much and would do anything at all to make me happy. She tried to emulate me at every turn and made sure that I knew what she was doing. She just wanted me to be happy, and proud of her, and I gave her what she wanted. She wanted clothes, jewelry, and her precious car, and she got them. I made sure that she and her mother were well taken care of, and got everything they wanted. I took care of my special lady friends too, just not as much as I did for my family. I know that she hated to leave her car behind, but there was no way that they wouldn't have known that we were planning on escaping as no one but Reagan was allowed to drive it. It was too big of a red flag to wave to anyone who was paying attention at the gate. We were barely able to escape ourselves with our lives. That was the best that I could do, was what I did to get us out of there. I was really glad that we ended up here at Black Moon, it was the only good thing that Silas ever did. Blake was already mistrustful of the council and didn't want anything to do with them, or in his business. It was a win for us, as well as for the pack. We got safety and security, and he was able to make the upgrades to the pack that he always wanted to do. I have to say that I was glad to move back into my home. I had missed this place so much. The first thing that I did was throw Silas and Billie out of there. Silas was pissed, but I was even more pissed. His daughter was the reason that I was locked up, and beaten. She should have died here, and I should have pressed harder. I had it all figured out. I knew she was right there at the end, I knew she wouldn't make it too much farther. I knew that Blake was going to go crazy with guilt and anger, and I already had it set up. Better than my original plan too, as I was going to have to get Forest to kill Kevin. But Kevin became too powerful for Forest to kill. So I knew I had to get Blake to do it. Kevin would be no match for his father, especially in the fury that Blake would be in at losing his chosen mate.

It was the perfect plan, an absolute masterpiece, and there was no way for it to fail. At least, that is what I thought until that b***h killed my mate and ran away to where I cannot kill her myself. Well, at least not right now. But I will, and I swear that I will make her suffer just as much as I have suffered with my beautiful mate taken from me. I already have plans on what I am going to do to Raven, and to Cheryl. They both were a thorn in my side, but Raven was the reason that I had to run and hide. That made me seem like less than a man, because I turned tail, and wasn't up for a fight. I wasn't, at the time, but now things are different. I will again remind people that I am not to be trifled with and that I still have power. People have forgotten that I already was a powerhouse, and will be again. They will fall in line to become allies as soon as I teach Black Adder a lesson.

As soon as I get done with them, then Blood Walker will get what is coming to them. Cole's blatant disrespect to me, his dismissal of my authority, and his causing me to have to go on the run. These are all things that I need to pay back to him in short order. I cannot go after two packs at the same time though, even if I have two packs with me. We need to go in and take them down as quickly as we can. I had a lot of time to think about it in my cell. There was nothing else to do there, but think. Nighttime was the hardest for me because I would wake up during the night after having a dream about my Cassandra. Her beautiful face still haunts me to this day. I still miss her, she can never be replaced, not as far as I was concerned. No matter if I find another to be with, Cassandra will always be the one who is always in my heart.

I took my shower and went to change into a new outfit, and then go find something to eat. I was kind of glad that I had some space alone. I had gotten used to it while I was in the cell. I think that if Cassandra were still alive that I would have still kicked Silas and Billie out, just for us to have alone time here. I grabbed a glass of wine and got a snack out of the fridge. Taking my anger out on Blake helped, but it was much harder than I thought it was going to be. My hands hurt, and my ribs hurt, for all the twists that I made punching him. I wasn't stupid enough to leave him free in the cell. I remember very well each and every time he made a visit to me. he was a strong fighter, I can't beat him in a fair fight. I made sure that he was strung up by his wrists, and hung from a hook in the ceiling so I could do maximum damage to him. It also kept him from being able to fight back against me, and that was the most important thing.

Brady was now in the cell next to Blake's, as Brady was not going to go along with us, and what we were doing. So for our safety, I had him locked up. I had a motto, either you are with me, or you are against me. Brady would not agree to work with us, so the former Beta was put in the cells, right next to his Alpha. Brady's wife was really upset by Garrett and Marc showing up and taking him like that. Garrett was happy to take his position back as Beta, Marc was the Gamma, and Forest was the Alpha. That was as far as the pack knew was going on. Travis was content to take the backup Gamma position again, as he really didn't like the workload of being the only one. Blake always had double Beta and double Gamma positions, and I never knew why, but they do have a large workload here. Travis was my favorite of all of them. Because he was the easiest of all of them, to get on board with my plan actually. He wanted something specific in return for his willingness to assist with the plan. His obsession had already cost him his mate, and pups. When I found out that he was obsessed with both Reagan and Raven, it made my choice of bargaining with him so much easier. He was obsessed to the point that he had found someone who looked a little like them, and set them up in a nearby town so he could visit her when he wanted to. He forgot about the bond, and his mate was furious with him when he returned home. He refused to stop seeing his girlfriend, and when he cheated the second time, she waited for him to come home and rejected him. She had to force him to accept it, and she was prepared for his return, as was the rest of her family. Her father was an Alpha, and her brother was now the Alpha of their pack. They were much larger than our pack, so she got away with doing it. Blake didn't want to be going to war with them. It was a good call, I won't be doing it either, they have a large pack. Travis still doesn't even realize what he has done yet, he just does what he wants with his girlfriend, and seems very happy about it. His only request for help was that he get Reagan, and Raven, as his reward. We all told him that they would fight him every step of the way, but he seemed to anticipate it and was happy about it. I did tell him that he could have the girls, but only after they had been disciplined for their actions of course. Reagan is used to what he will be wanting, and Raven deserves the punishment for it. Hell, if I don't kill Cheryl, I will give her to him too as payment. I am sure that will be a nightmare for both her, and Blake.

I hear the doorbell sound, and it is Garrett and Forrest, right on time. We are going to go to Blood Tracker to speak to Reagan. It has just been 24 hours at this point from when I took over at Black Moon. Garrett drove us over, and I was fine to sit in the back seat. Forest thinks it is out of respect for him, but it isn't. He is a moron and would destroy the pack. I will get him to do what I need him to, and let me run it behind the scenes. he is only a mouthpiece, he knows nothing, and he will be running nothing. I know how to take care of a pack and he doesn't, it is that simple. Garrett knows that I will be the one running it, and defers to me already. He knows who is in charge because money always lets the ones with it, run the show. Forest gets out of the SUV like he is in charge now, and I let him. The gate guards had announced we were coming and Aaron and Trevor are in front of the packhouse to greet us. I won't mince words with Aaron and asked for Reagan to be summoned right off the bat.

"She is no longer here Graham. She took off earlier today. She was taking the children to go get clothes, but she has not come back just yet. Clive took the second SUV to go run an errand with the older kids, but they have not returned. I was starting to get worried about them myself" Aaron told me and I looked at him suspiciously.

"How long have they been gone then, Aaron? An hour? Five hours? Did she say something to you about it? She took your children, are you not suspicious about that? So Trevor is the only one left now? Where are they?" I asked him. This is ridiculous. If I didn't know for a fact that we had knocked Blake out before he could notify anyone of what we had done, I would be even more suspicious of this whole thing. But really, how could any of them have known what we did? I checked Blake's phone, I went through all of his messages. There was nothing there to arouse any suspicion.

"She left around noon, and he left around 3. I don't keep that kind of eye on all of my pack members, Graham. I have too many of them to keep up with. They are free to come and go as they need to. I only insist that they have to attend training and come to work in a timely manner. She may have returned, and I just didn't notice it. I can go check her house if you want, it would only take a little while to do it" Aaron offered. That is a good idea. I want to see her house too.

"We can all go there to check for her. I am just worried about my daughter. I haven't seen her for a while, as I was locked up. But I would like to get to see her, now that I have been given my freedom back" I told him and gave him a smile. There is no way that he would know that there is a problem, not just yet at least. What he said made sense though, no Alpha can check all the comings and goings of the pack. Maybe I am just paranoid right now, and I try to force myself to calm down.

We drove over to her home, and the lights were out and neither of her vehicles was there. I am starting to get a bad feeling over this. She is always home, as she dotes on the children and does the best she can for them. Trevor walked right into the house, I guess because he lives here, it is second nature to him. I can see by his face, that he was worried too now. I watched him pull his phone out of his pocket and start texting and I walked over to read over his shoulder, while he waited for a reply. I had Garrett search the house while I waited downstairs with Aaron. Trevor and Forest talked and rattled on about general stuff before I heard his phone ping with a response.

I got closer to read the reply and I see that she only replied that they were gone and that they were not coming back. That she was sorry to leave him, but he was the next Alpha, and Aaron would have hunted her down if she had taken him. I would have too if my heir was taken and just a short time before he was supposed to take over. I would have been furious. It seems like Aaron was shocked as well, and Trevor was even more upset. He has lived with his mother for over the last 6 years. He loves her, and he is a good kid. I can feel how upset he is, and he went over to Aaron who gave him a hug and told him that he would be OK. That they would figure out what they needed to do. Aaron sent him up to his room to pack a bag for the next few days, and they would come back for the rest of his stuff and figure out where his mother went.

I already know where she went. She and Raven had made up, and there was nowhere else she could go. Just like me, she burnt bridges. no one else would dare to take her into their pack. I would bet my life that they were all three of them at Black Adder, probably living it up with my money. Well, not for long ladies, not if I have a damn thing to say about it. I will get this taken care of myself, and get everything that I deserve coming back to me. I see that Aaron looked stunned that she would leave the pack, and frankly a little angry too. I could care less if she shafted him. I need some funds, today. I need to look at his books and see what he can spare for me. It was my money anyway whatever Reagan had given him. Since it was from my own account, I was the rightful owner, and I wanted it back. So, I guess that I am about to ruin his day even further.

As soon as Trevor came back down I could tell that he was even more upset. Garrett came down after him and nodded at me, as we went back to the SUV to go to the packhouse. Garrett told me that a lot of the house had been cleaned out, except for Trevor's room. That he was really upset at being left behind like that. Like they didn't love him enough to take him with them. He said that he saw Trevor going into Reagan and Clive's room and looked around. It seemed like she played them both like she played me. Well, that means that they will both be on my side in this and maybe they will agree to work with us when we go to attack. I will wait and watch to see what happens though. I am not going to jump the gun and show my hand now. I needed to just wait and watch them, then I can make an informed decision.

"Aaron, I am sorry to do this to you, but Reagan took my money. I know that she has put money into your pack, and I am going to need a substantial amount of it back as we need to get a few things done at Black Moon. I will pay you back after I get control of my bank account. I won't take all of your funds, but I will need about 90% of what you have in the bank before I leave" I told him. I could see the shock on his face before he managed to calm down.

"Graham, I have to pay the bills and order food for my pack. I can give you the bulk of it, as she did give me 2 million dollars, and I understood it to be your money. But the rest of the money that is in the bank, are pack funds and need to be used for the pack. I don't mind giving you the funds that belong to you, but I need to be able to provide for my people" Aaron told me, and I kept my face neutral, but I was really happy to hear about the infusion of money. That was actually much more than I figured he would be able to give me in the first place.

He showed me the books for the pack, and I could see exactly when she gave him the money a few months ago, but he never touched it. His pack was doing OK, not great, but not scraping along either. I know from seeing the three gardens that he had his members grow a lot of what they ate here. I was glad that they did that, and I agreed with what he offered to do. There was no need to take more than what she had given him. It was a good start and it took a lot of the pressure off of us, for now. I could see the surprise on both Garrett and Forest's faces, they were pleased too, but they showed how happy they were when they heard how much. They need to learn to school their features. I will mention it in the SUV on the way back to the pack.

Aaron wrote out the check and gave it to me. He had written it out to me, and I have to say that it seemed that he and Trevor were just as taken aback by Reagan's actions as I was. I wanted to tear her place apart, but I didn't. I could stay there when I came to visit this pack, it was a nice home, and it would be a waste to mess it up now. Especially when I could see some of the art and instruments. Plus, I already know where she went. I will eventually get control of my account again.

I have already decided what I needed to do. They think that they are so freaking smart, well they weren't. I will get someone to help me out as I make up my plans to build up the pack. I will be paying attention for the next few months, but it really seemed like Reagan and Clive made up a little disappearing act on poor Aaron and Trevor. I think that they will be excellent allies for us, I just need to not let Aaron find out what happened to Blake. He will not help us if he knew that Blake and I just changed places. If Blake was smart he would have killed me when he had the chance. Too bad for him, that he will not have a chance at killing me now. The last thing that Blake will ever see is me coming to end his sorry life, as I take everything that he ever valued away from him. It will be my absolute pleasure to return all of the favors that he was so willing to do to me, back to him. I will make him suffer a great deal, and then I will kill him.
