Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter
Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 31

Alpha Cole's POV

The day of the ball is here, and I am excited to soon introduce our daughter to our allies, and the council members that were coming. I hadn't originally planned on inviting them to the ball, but then, I got a surprise visitor last night, and my plans changed. I am glad that they took it seriously enough to come out and help us with it. I was furious but knew I needed to keep a cool head in this. We cannot tip anyone off that we knew, or the whole thing would go up in flames. I cannot allow this to slip out of my hands. I was not happy about it, but I was very glad that we had been given a heads up, so we can make the plans we need to, to make sure that the proper people be punished. FLASHBACK

Beta Timothy had called me to our gates last night, for a surprise visitor, and one I frankly didn't want to see. But I was told that it was important, so I would hear him out. The story that Justin gave me was almost unbelievable. I was doubting it through the first part of it until he got to where Reagan was going to help this Cheryl take Raven's second chance mate away. I knew that Justin had been heartbroken at accepting Raven's rejection. I could clearly see it. I could also see that he was telling the truth now. I have to say that even with his clear jealousy that Raven was getting a second chance mate, he still wanted to help her.

How else could he have known that Brandon was Raven's mate? Only Olivia and I knew she was. So I knew I needed to get a lot done tonight, I was glad that he showed up here kind of early, at 5 pm. I was impressed with him even having the balls to come here, despite knowing that he was at the top of my s**t list, well near the top, he is a solid #4 on the list. But if he prevents their plan from working, I will be very grateful to him, he might even come off my list.

"Why did you tell us, Justin? Your chance with her is gone, as you and Reagan are a mated couple now. You had no real reason to give us this warning" I told him.

"I know that Alpha Cole. My heart is broken because I was stupid and too weak to want to claim Raven as my mate. She had been picked on and abused my whole life. I didn't want to have to fight the whole pack daily, for claiming her. I have no excuse at all, as I have no defense for my actions. But after I touched her, and felt the tingles between us, I wanted her. I begged her to come back the night she ran to your pack. Reagan had her dad force me back to the pack after I ran away to go get Raven back. They were going to banish my family, we have been with the Silver Blade pack for over 100 years, as Beta ranked wolves. I knew that he would probably kill them and tell me that he had banished them, I had no choice but to return. Alpha Graham and Reagan cannot be trusted. I set Reagan straight, and I will not be with her again, because she ruined my life. If I can pay her back for what she did to me and Raven, I will" Justin told me, and I believed him. I could see how upset he still was over this, even weeks later.

"I will be calling the council in on this. What they are planning is serious. Are you OK with telling the council your story too? We will need as much evidence of their wrongdoings as we can get. I don't want them getting off with a slap on their hand. I want them to be punished for the years of abuse they put Raven through" I said to Justin. I wanted him to know that this was not staying between us, but that I will, in fact, be pushing it forward to make sure that the people who needed to be punished had enough brought to light that they wouldn't be able to keep it hidden in the shadows anymore.

"I will help you. I always thought that Raven was a sweet and shy she-wolf. She is beautiful, and I am glad that she is finally getting treated the way she should have been all these years. I just wasn't thinking that she was worth fighting for until I touched her. Now, she is ALL that I can think about. I close my eyes, and she is there, I wish I had been stronger and taken her away from that pack the moment I realized that she was my mate. I will forever be sorry for my actions on this. I pray that one day the Goddess allows me to get a second chance mate. Maybe helping Raven now will put me back in the Goddess's good graces" Justin tells me. We make plans and make sure that everyone is on board with them before Timothy and I head to my office. We need to get some calls made. Timothy called the council, and I called Brandon.

"Alpha Cole, I wasn't expecting a call from you tonight. I was planning on seeing you tomorrow. Is everything OK?" Brandon asked me, and I know that he is about to get really pissed off with what I was about to tell him.

"Brandon, I have something to tell you, but first, I have a few questions for you. Did you have a Gamma by the name of Silas Peters? Do you know Cheryl Peters?" I asked him.

"Yes, they were the reasons I was having to get my pack straight. Her father wanted me to claim her as my chosen mate. I refused. They wouldn't stop their plans, so earlier today I banished them from my pack. I will not allow people with an agenda to be here or cause my mate any problems or pain. They had been warned and given a final warning, and still continued. Why? Did they come to you to seek asylum?" Brandon asked me.

"No son, it is worse than that. I wanted to tell you in person, but for you to get up to speed I will have to fill you in on Raven's background. We have a bigger problem now, and we need to get it sorted quickly" I told Brandon and then gave him some of Raven's background, and about how she had been raised. He needed to know how bad Reagan really was, so he would have the proper respect for the plan. He has to know that she had already been successful already with it, so there was no room for mistakes. I will not allow Raven's second chance mate to get snatched away as Justin had been. They will not hurt my baby girl with their vicious plans. I am just glad that Justin had been good enough to share it with us. If he hadn't, I would have killed the Sullivans and the Peter families for causing my baby girl to feel that type of pain again.

Brandon stayed quiet through my story. When he did speak, he had emotion in his voice when he asked, "Did they physically harm her?" He knew I had held back, just giving him the pertinent information that he needed to get him up to speed, but he knew, he could feel it. They did indeed have a very strong bond.

"They did" I answered him. I stayed silent while he dealt with the pain. I see that Alpha Sullivan and Luna Cassandra have just made a new enemy. He needs to stay focused on Reagan right now, as she is willing to overstep, time and again, to hurt Raven. Graham and Cassandra knew I have warned them twice, they would not get another warning. I would raze the pack, and not think badly about doing it. I can tell that he is trying to calm himself, and his wolf. It is hard to not want blood when someone hurts your mate. "OK. I will link my dad and Krew to come and join us in making the plans. I refuse to allow Cheryl to touch me, I want Raven, and no one else. I can't allow their plan to work" Brandon told me, and we waited for about 4 minutes while his dad and younger brother came to the office. We have to make plans now to make sure that they are not successful in their attempt. Not going to give them even an inch of room for it to work, I completely agree with him. I would kill them both before they could hurt my daughter. We spent the next 30 minutes getting our plans together. Beta Timothy put his phone down next to mine so the Council member that he had got on the phone, Arnold Emerson, could also have input in the conversation. I have to say that we made some pretty good plans. We made sure that Brandon would not be able to ingest the drugs into his system. I also had cameras installed all over the first floor, I called that team in first, as soon as I found out. I was not going to take a chance on this at all. Reagan wasn't going to weasel out of getting what she deserved this time. She was going to receive the maximum amount of punishment, and I was going to make sure of it.

The night of the ball, I knew who growled when Joshua caught Raven on the stairs. I smiled, as I am still the same way over my beautiful Olivia. We all knew our roles and Beta Timothy and Amanda were going to keep any outside people from getting involved. Justin didn't have the whole plan that Reagan had come up with. He just heard the first half of it, where Reagan told Cheryl that she would text Cheryl to come forward and get Brandon. That way when the drugs kicked in, he would be with her, overwhelmed with passion, and take Cheryl marking her as his mate. We didn't need to know anything past that.

The fact that Reagan would go so far as to take Raven's second chance mate away from her like that. I have never before seen a level of hatred and viciousness ever before. It lets me know that we will never know all of the atrocious cruelties that Raven had to suffer there at Silver Blade. It was a next-level betrayal that Raven didn't deserve. Hadn't Reagan taken everything away from her already? She should stop now and just leave Raven alone. Why does she have to want to hurt her so badly? I cannot imagine the hate that this girl is carrying to want to hurt her own sister like this. For what reason? To what end? I just cannot understand it.

That night I had the whole Beta family come into the office, along with Olivia, so we could get them up to speed. That no matter what Raven could not be left alone, and neither could her mate, Brandon Adams, of the Black Adder pack. They were all surprised that she had a mate, even more, so that Raven herself wasn't aware of it, so once I have them up to speed we covered what was going to happen the next night. I had brought in Lanie and Charlie too. We had to get all of the bases covered and have people around that can blend in and not tip our hand that we knew that a plan had even been made. We just needed to keep Brandon and Raven safe, at the party, and then get them together. Olivia was pissed that they would dare to come here and cause problems for Raven at her own party. Those two girls better look out, Olivia may take care of them both before I can get my hands on them.

I warned them that they had to be alert and assume that additional plans had been made to try to hurt Raven or Brandon. I had Lanie and Charlie, who were our lead trainers bring in another male and female to watch the Sullivan couple while they were here. I will not give any of them a reason to be able to hurt any member of my pack, especially not my family. I asked my Gamma to have his son, Ethan, shadow Justin. I knew he was brokenhearted, and wouldn't put it past him to not try to beg Raven to take him back. She wouldn't, but he might be obsessed enough that he would be willing to die on that hill and take Raven with him. It was easier to make the plans now, as Justin and Brandon were both thinking with their hearts, instead of their minds. That won't work out well for them, I will remind Brandon to focus more at the party tomorrow.

Timothy and I stayed up until midnight making plans, placing the main characters in specific areas. The most important was Brandon. I wanted, no I needed, to get Reagan dead to rights on this. I wanted video proof, and witnesses to corroborate what had happened. What I wanted most was for the council to see what was happening with their own eyes. To charge them with premeditation, and anything else that I could throw the book at them. I want Reagan to go away, and Raven to finally have some peace. Even with the plans I have in place, I was still nervous about everything and just couldn't sleep. I stared at the ceiling not able to shut my brain off. It wasn't just the plans, it was much more than that. I just got my daughter here, and as much as I love my sons, the way my daughter looks up to me like I hung the moon up just for her, is so much different. I had always heard the quote, "Momma's boys, and daddy's girls." I didn't understand it before, but I get it now. The pain of having to let her go, when I just got her, hurts me so much more than I expected it to. I am in emotional pain, and sad, at knowing that my daughter will be leaving soon. I know that Brandon will be a good mate for her, and protect her, but I would love for her to stay here, with us, for the rest of her life. Hard to give her up when I had missed so much time in her life.

I feel a hand reach out across my chest and my wife snuggles into me. I feel her bare breasts on my chest now, hugging me, and getting my full attention. Olivia then sits up a little and teases me with a deep kiss. I wind my hands into her hair and kiss her back, nipping on her bottom lip. I already know she is trying to distract me, and it is working. I instantly harden up, and after she slides her hand down my stomach, giving me a few strokes to let me know where she is going with this. I watch my beautiful mate slowly lower herself onto my c**k, and I cannot contain the groan of pleasure that comes out of me. Olivia is a goddess in the moonlight as she starts off slow, giving me comfort, before speeding up the pace and tilting forward a little so her c**t gets rubbed as she uses my c**k to stimulate herself. I feel her slowly stroke my chest, and then down to my V cut. When I feel her hands grip my shoulders tighter, I know it is time for me to finish this for her. Olivia smiles as she knows it too, and I grab her waist and turn us over. I stay still as I look into her face and slowly stroke my thumb on her cheek, she is so beautiful, I cannot believe the blessing that I got from this woman being my mate. The Goddess has truly been good to me. I pepper kisses on her face and nip my mark as I allow her to come down a little, I knew she was almost there, but I wanted to be the only reason for her to come undone. I want her to know how much she means to me, how she is my world, and forever will be. I propped myself up on my forearms and I start a slow thrust to get her warmed up again. Olivia gives me a smile and begs me, "faster, baby." I knew she was going to be impatient. We have been together for over 18 years, I know my mate, and what she likes.

I braced on one arm and slide my hand between us and started working her c**t as I sped up just a little bit on her. I see her bite her lip to stay quiet, but I know her tricks. She will have to wait on what she wants. I want her to come at least twice tonight. We have been so busy lately with the plans, training, and everything else going on. She needs and deserves this. She had a nightgown on when she came to bed, but feeling me so upset she wanted to comfort me, even without my asking. That is the beauty of the mate bond. I needed her, and she came to me. I will give her anything she asks for, and I heard her low moan as her legs start to shake.

I will give her what she just asked for now. I used both arms to brace my weight off of her, and start on the pace she loves, she wraps her legs around my a*s and grabs my upper back with her nails to show me her pleasure. I feel her start to tighten around me and I growled out in my pleasure as she cums, and I c*m right behind her. I roll over and pulled her chest onto mine so I can see her face.

"Olivia you are the best thing that has ever happened in my life. I am thankful for you, baby. You are perfect, and I love you. I don't tell you that enough. You are my everything, not just my Luna. Thank you for giving me my sons, and for being a loving mother to a child that we never expected to be blessed with. Not everyone could accept that, but you knew that Raven was mine, and you made her ours. That means more to me than you will ever know. Let's get some sleep we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow" I tell her as I gave her another kiss. I can see the tears in her eyes at what I said, but I meant every single word. Whether it is my wife or my children, I will not allow anyone to hurt any of them ever again. I fall into a deep sleep with my mate wrapped up in my arms. FLASHBACK ENDS

I keep a careful eye on Reagan and watched as she puts the drugs into the drink in her hands. She is so confident that she won't get caught, that she didn't even look around. Most people would have had to glance around to see if anyone was looking, but she didn't, she honestly didn't think she would be caught, she is so confident in what she is doing. She just keeps waiting for her moment, and I realize that Joshua is still with Brandon. It looks like they are in a regular conversation, so that is good. I linked Joshua, and he excuses himself and walks on. Reagan doesn't rush in, she is very careful, and watches Brandon for a little while. I can see that he is looking over at Raven, and I can see when Reagan gets a little worried that he might see Cheryl. She still stayed pretty calm as she moves forward to intercept him.

I can now see when he goes to go help Raven, that thankfully Olivia is already there to do it. Reagan put herself right in his path. If I didn't already know the plan, I would have missed her deliberate act. She is very good at this. I can see her trying to use charm on him, not realizing that it is not going to work. It is a very good thing that we were told what was going to happen tonight. No matter what Justin's real reasons behind it were. Because this could have worked out very differently tonight if we hadn't had a heads-up. Plus, it gave me the opportunity to have the council here to be a witness to this. She won't be able to weasel her way out of this. I wanted her to pay for everything that she has ever done to my daughter through the years. I am glad that this was sorted and done, and that Raven will get her vengeance.
