Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter
Chapter 185

Graham's

POV

How in the hell did they know we were here? When I heard Brandon's voice come booming through the night telling me that he knew we were here, I was stunned. I had kept it under wraps this whole time. I sent Travis back toward the wall to take a closer look at what Brandon had said. I never saw any cameras on the wall. I looked, and it was only the pressure switches, and we didn't hit any of them. I hear Travis come through the link saying, "There are tiny cameras built into the posts at the very top of the wall sections. If I didn't have the binoculars I wouldn't have been able to see them. They are the same color as the wall is, they hid them from view."

So, my well-laid plan is not as great as I once thought it was. That is fine, we still have 500 fighters here, and they just found out that we were coming, so we still have the upper hand in this fight. I refuse to admit defeat, not when I can literally see Raven, and Reagan talking to each other like they were unbothered by me and my men. We may not be a secret to them, but I plan to decimate this pack. I don't see Cheryl, but I see her mate over there, near Brandon. I hope that I can depend on the vampires to make short work of him and his brother. I told the two leaders to warn their people to not listen to Brandon, that it is a trick. Plus, if they do step out, they will be as good as dead to me.

I can hear the rogues talking to each other, I can hear them thinking about the offer to come and live here. I even see a vampire leave with the group. With the trees in my way, I don't have a clear shot that I can take. I sent Forest and Marc over to go kill the men that decided to mutiny against me. I know that the other men are waiting to see what I would do, and they were not surprised when I sent two men over to take care of the deserters. I will not stand for it, I was glad when they got close to the men, but all of a sudden the men were gone. The second that the men saw that they escaped without harm to them, several others poured out of the tree line too. What in the fresh hell is this? Why, why would they do that? We haven't even begun to fight, and these men are all weakening the attack.

I stepped forward to deal with the five men near me when they were whisked away from me. None of us got a shot off, and those men were all taken inside safely. I swear to the Goddess if it is the last thing that I do, I will go down to the cells that I know Brandon put them in and kill them all. They will be sitting ducks, and I told each of my ranked wolves that whoever got free first needed to deal with them for deserting. I cannot believe that this is the start of my grand plan. I put so much thought and effort into it. I needed those men as each one of them made me and my ranked wolves safer. I swear that Brandon and his pack are going to suffer at my hands for this. I will not be accepting defeat, I have come too far, and I suddenly realized that we had gotten into the pack, but unless we can jump up to get over the wall, we are trapped here, like rats. We have to win this battle, there is no other way around it.

I spoke to the rogue leaders through the headset, "We only lost a few of the men. I will add another thousand onto your pay, making it $6,000 dollars each being paid to you in this attack. They only just found out that we were here, we need to go ahead and attack together. I will mind link the warriors so give it one minute and we will attack together at the sound of my gun in the air. We still have the element of surprise, as how prepared could they actually be?" I told them. That made them feel better about the attack, as I was right, we have only been on their land for about 10 minutes, and there was not a lot of time to be prepared. I mindlink the same message to the warriors on the other side of the packhouse. Brandon may know about them too, but what can he do? We have him surrounded, this is our battle to lose, not his.

My confidence increases as I think of that. Yes, they may have had time to get a little prepared, but they would have been too busy to get weapons out with getting their pack members to safety. I hardly think that they are able to defeat us as we are way more prepared than they are. We are still hidden in the tree line, and I don't think that Brandon has any idea of the sheer numbers that we have with us. I am confident of a successful outcome as I make the men get ready to come out. I see no threat in our way, as we go to attack. I raise my gun in the air and fire off the shot as the men rush out to attack. The roar of their battle cries rings out for a short while before several short bursts of rapid-fire shots ring out. Both on this side of the packhouse, and the other side. I am shocked to see that at least a hundred men are down with this first wave, and that is just from what I can see on this side. I know that the same thing happened on the far side, and I quickly link with the lead warriors to tell me what happened. I am staring at the c*****e before me and I never expected them to be so well prepared for this. This was not a 10-minute preparation time, this was a well-thought-out response, and his men were well-trained. I was not expecting this at all. I looked around to see if I can see anything, and I cannot see where the bullets even traveled to hit them.

"We lost at least 80 warriors, and the other two lead warriors, before I could get the rest of the men to retreat back into the tree line Alpha. They were waiting on us to attack, I cannot even see where their shooters are for us to even try to fire back. We are staying in the woods for cover, but I think that we may need to try to get out of here with our lives, and try this again with a better plan. This is not a coincidence Alpha, they knew we were coming. If we stay we will all be killed" the lead warrior replied back. That was the same thing that I thought, they had to have had much more than ten minutes to be prepared. Someone tipped them off and I turned towards Forest.

"Forest, who did you tell that we were attacking Black Adder today?" I asked him. He and Marc had returned to me after they went to deal with the deserters. They knew that in case Blake turned on me, I wanted them all near to help protect me. "Just the girl I am sleeping with, but she is a human. I just said that I was getting into a fight, not that it was a battle. She doesn't even know that I am a werewolf, so there is no way that she could have warned them, Graham" He told me. Travis had told me in the SUV what he had sent. Travis also sent me a screenshot of it, and that was the truth of it, I had already read what he had sent. It didn't have any information in it though. I asked him for his phone, I needed to make sure that he didn't tell Trevor. I had him unlock it and then scrolled through his messages. He talked a lot of s**t, but he didn't tell Trevor anything about the attack. All he did was act big for the girl he was sleeping with. He is lucky because I was about to kill him where he stood right now if he had. "Blake, did you inform them that we were coming?" I looked him dead in his eyes as I spoke to him. He didn't hesitate, "No, I didn't have time Graham. I went up and got my gear, and came right back down. Plus I don't have a phone in my room anymore. I went straight up and then to the packhouse steps. I haven't left the pack except for the times I was with you, except for the run you made me take to Aaron's pack, but I was never alone. I don't have a phone."

I mindlinked someone I trusted to go and search his room as I decided to deal with this another way. I call out, "It seems that I underestimated you, Brandon. I am surprised that you are willing to kill so many innocents when your mate started this whole thing. I am here to get my revenge, fair and square."

"You underestimated both Raven and Reagan, actually, Graham. They both had a bad feeling this morning and from that, we finally realized that today was the day. You remember that they are both descended from the Goddess herself. You are in the wrong here, so just stop lying. You are not here for revenge, as you were the one who was wrong from the beginning. You were the one to cause all of the issues. You were the one who started the whole thing by not just giving Raven back to her father from the moment she was born. This started with you, Graham, and your bad decisions. Instead of you being a man and accepting that you messed up, you always put the blame where it didn't belong. It lays squarely on your shoulders. If the men with you want to follow such a terrible Alpha, then so be it" Brandon's voice called out into the night.

"Alpha, there is no phone in former Alpha Blake's room" came the message back from one of the three warriors that I left behind to watch Brady. I got my answer as to why while he was searching the room. I knew he hadn't used Casey's phone as I had sent her into the city to go shopping with her friends this morning. I sent a she-wolf with the group to keep them safe. I also made sure that Blake didn't have a phone available to him. The Goddess herself is against me with this, and I know that all of my men heard it. It is not good news for any of us, as they know that she was the one to let them know that we were coming, that lets them know which direction this battle is going to go. All my detailed plans were for nothing as this fight is over before I could even get it started. All I can feel is fury inside me. I cannot beat the Goddess herself, but I swear that I will not be going down without a fight. I don't care if everyone here gives up, I won't. I mindlinked the warriors and then called the leaders of the rogues, "$10,000 each, we are already here, we have to get this done." I can hear the mumblings and the discussions around me. They know it is a suicide mission now, but as soon as we can pinpoint where their gunmen are, we can take them out. Unfortunately, someone will have to be the one to come out of hiding in both areas. They will need to draw their fire so we can see where their nests are. Once we know that, we can take them out. We have to, as we are pinned down right now. I get no response from the warriors at all, and I have no idea what is going on over there. No matter what I say, I have no response from our own men, it is like they all disappeared on us. I never heard any gunfire, so they cannot have been killed.

I am almost shaking in fury now, and Garrett and Marc look concerned. I could see some of the rogues trying to work their way back to the wall where we came in at. I shot two of them and then told the leaders, "Either you fight, or I will kill you all myself." "I will make this fair for you Graham. Which is more than you would ever do for anyone else. We can fight, hand to hand, from now on. But, no weapons, if we see a weapon come out, whoever is holding it will die before they can use it" Brandon yells out. Brandon is out of his mind, why in the hell would he do that? These men are trained killers. It doesn't matter if the warriors are not responding to us or not, we clearly outnumber them as far as the number of warriors that he has. I wouldn't do it, I would never give up the chance to make sure that my pack had no loss of life. I heard distant gunfire behind us coming from the wall where we came over. It doesn't take long for Brandon to call out, "You just lost another 30 men trying to escape. I would take the offer, it is more than you would ever give someone, isn't it Graham."

He is right, I would never give up the upper hand. I think that Brandon needs to be taught a lesson as he is more cocky than I ever gave him credit for. He is clearly not thinking this out, because I am a strong fighter, all of the ranked wolves are, with the exception of Forest. The mercenaries with us are no joke either, so if a fight is what they want, then I will agree to it. It is the only opportunity that we are going to get to try to beat them. I have a knife strapped to either leg and a gun just inside my boot just in case of emergency. I may look unarmed, but that is not the case. I am going to make sure that I take out both girls and Cheryl, while I am here. It would take years to recoup from this loss, and I hate that I won't be able to take over Blood Walker to turn it back into my pack again. The anger that surges through me at the thought of losing my pack propels me forward. I am going to fight, and I am going to beat Brandon at his own game.

As I emerge from the tree line I see the men I hired start to come out with me. They never had weapons that I supplied, and most of them want to fight this out anyway. I see Blake, Marc, Garrett, and Travis all slip out of the tree line when I glance back at them, and a minute later I see Forest emerge. It looks like he finally saw Kevin, as he is heading right for him. I guess he thinks that since Kevin is younger than him, he might still be able to beat him. He would be wrong in that assumption, as Kevin is even bigger now than he was when he left Black Moon. He is confident, and I cannot believe that Forest is willing to fight him. I can hear a discussion going on with the boys. When I heard one of them say, "It wouldn't be right for you to kill your own brother" I ended up stumbling as these young men are not showing fear of the grown men approaching them.

As I look around I see more warriors pouring out of the packhouse from both directions, and I do not see any of the Black Moon warriors coming up to fight with us. I turned to look in their direction and I see a group of them at the gate, leaving the pack. They all had their hands up and were exiting through the opened gates at this time. I didn't authorize that, and now Black Adder has our guns. The warriors on the other side of the packhouse have deserted us, and it is suddenly a fair fight, with about 200 of us, and 200 of them now. This was never supposed to be a fair fight, this was supposed to be me sneaking in while they least expected it, and teaching all the ranked wolves here a lesson. I see Cole break out from behind the group he was in, and approach me. I was not expecting him, but it makes sense that he would be here. He always wanted to get me back for all I did to him, and now is his chance. I see the council is here in support of them too, and I realize that none of us who are here to fight, are going to be allowed to leave. I growled out in my fury, as this was not supposed to be the way it went down. I have won all my life. I have never had to really submit before, I always managed to land on my feet, and I won't start now. I glared over at Raven and Reagan who are standing together in support, and I yelled out, "To the death" as I rushed up to Cole. The men ran into the fray with me, as they have now realized that we either win here, or we all die. I see vampires that I never saw before come out from where they were hiding and I see that raven- haired vampire b***h lift up my remaining vampires as a group. She was the one to pull the deserters away before we could take them out. I growl out in anger as I see that my rogue vampires will not even be getting the chance to fight. She carried the group of them over to where those vampire brothers were standing together with swords. She held them in place as all of their heads were severed. So much for those damn vampires helping us fight.

I see the rogue wolves seeing what happened to the vampires and they were horrified. About 50 of them turned tail and ran back to where we came in at. I glance up after Cole punched me down to the ground. I see Blake fighting against Garrett. Great, I have put my hope in all the wrong people, as I see a kid that looks just like Justin, taunting Forest. "I am the same age as your brother, that way you at least have a fighting chance." I knew from his words that Forest was going to lose the fight, but he still stepped up to do it. Everything has completely fallen apart. I am literally fighting for my life, and I see that Cole is in much better shape than I am. He is a powerhouse, and he is landing blow after blow on me. I never thought that I would need to train harder than I was. I never had to fight this hard in my life. Why is everything I planned for all falling apart?

I am going to kill Blake, he is a f*****g traitor and I cannot allow this to go unpunished. I may not get Reagan or Raven, but the second I can get free from Cole, I am going to kill Blake, who is now fighting against Marc. Marc never even saw it coming. It looks like after he killed Garrett he went immediately went to Marc. I know without a doubt he will go to Travis next. Travis is currently fighting both Reagan and Raven right now. He went right to them, with his stupid self, and probably announced that he was taking them both home. They are landing some very hard blows on him, and they are no pushovers. How in the world are women beating him? It hits me that after his mate left, he stopped training hard, all of them had slacked off, with the exception of Blake. They were sure that my plan was foolproof. Clearly, it wasn't, and I am sick about it now. I see Reagan's mate Clive finish off one of the rogues he was fighting, and head right for Travis. Travis was too busy watching the girls to see him coming. His neck was snapped in a hurry, and he was dropped to the ground. That is it. I cannot keep from moving on. I need to end this fight with Cole and go take care of Blake and that f*****g vampire. If nothing else, I will get that done. I wait for Cole to go to punch me again and slipped my knife into his right side. He hits the ground hard and I ran towards Anton who was fighting with a rogue. He doesn't see me, and I need to get him dealt with first, before Blake. Always best to take someone out, before they even know you are there.
