Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter
Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 46

Brandon's POV

I got through my paperwork in record time. I wanted to get back to my mate again. I had missed her the whole time, and I should have just had her come to the office with me. So her scent could be in my office. I file this away for the next time. Bring my mate with me so she can sit on my lap to make my work environment better. Then we could have done the tour of the pack, and grounds together. I want them all to see me with her, so they know who she is to them. I can feel that Raven is happy through our bond and I wonder what she is doing. I see her walking back to the packhouse, as my office is at the back of the packhouse, and provides the best view, with the most sunlight. I watch her walk back and I get excited about going to meet her.

I see some girls heading her way, and I know I need to watch this play out. The girl in front was Cheryl's best friend, Harper. She was the one who helped spread the rumor around the pack, all the lies to try to get the pack members against me. I wanted to kick her out of the pack too, but she is a good fighter, just not the smartest of my pack members. Plus, other than the rumors I had heard about what she and Cheryl had been doing, I didn't have the proof I needed to kick her out of there. I know she is wanting to confront Raven, Cheryl knew we would be coming back, so she probably called her to get her to start some trouble. This isn't good, and I linked Truett to come to the back of the packhouse, and let him know that raven was in trouble. I took off to go downstairs to stop the fight before it even starts, I won't allow it. Harper is delusional if she thinks that she and her little friends will be getting away with this.

Truett and Stella were already downstairs and heading to go exit the back door of the packhouse before I arrived. We exited together and since the majority of the group was focused on what Raven and Harper were saying we managed to get pretty close to them to hear what they were saying. Stella was pissed at what she heard Harper say, Cheryl was not going to be Luna, that whole thing was a pack of lies, but Harper was believing it as truth. But her pulling a knife, to use on her Luna, was unbelievable. I am stunned into freezing in place. I don't want to do anything that would result in Raven being hurt. Raven is calm though as if she were not scared at all. Her heart rate is even, and she looks unconcerned.

"You are wrong on so many levels, but Cheryl is gone forever from Black Adder. She is banished, and that happened before I even knew of her. That was all based on her own actions. Second, I am not a witch, I don't know any witches, and you need to make your own decisions. You don't need to risk your own banishment, or punishment, for attacking your Luna. This is of course your own decision to make, and from the looks of it, you have made up your mind. I just have one more thing to tell you, well, actually two things" Raven told the leader with a smirk on her face.

She growls at Raven like she would like nothing more than to just end her right here, instead of just ruining her face with her knife. "Sure, I have time, what is it that you wanted to tell me?" Harper responds with sarcasm, as she still thinks that she has the upper hand here when she never had it to begin with.

"Well, first you can't force people to become your chosen mate. They would have to agree to it as well. Seems like if they wanted to do that, you would already be mated to them. So, that won't be happening. Secondly, Brandon will feel it when you try to damage my face. He is actually already here and watching you right now" Raven told her and glanced over at us, standing next to them and watching this play out. The girls holding Raven's arms let go like she was scalding their hands. They backed up, with one of them crying and the other saying, "Alpha, we are sorry." I already knew that they would be blaming it on the leader, but they took part in it, all four of them did, and I am not letting them go. There weren't sorry for their part in this, they were sorry that I had caught them in the act. There is a big difference between those two things. I can tell by how they are looking at me, that they honestly thought that they would be next in line for Luna, but getting rid of my mate. They were wrong.

Harper, sensing that she needs to get this done quickly and looks back at Raven with determination and raises the knife up to her face again, and stepped forward to try to stab her. She never saw the front kick coming. She flies backward and the knife flew out of her hand to land on the grass several feet away. She started crawling backward away from Raven and towards her weapon, but when she got to it, someone was standing on the handle. Harper looked up at Stella and I could feel her fear. Stella wasn't holding back her anger at this woman. Stella had heard what the woman had said and she was furious that she wanted to force someone to be her mate. Stella had already heard stories about Harper too and knew who Harper was wanting to choose as her chosen mate. The woman stood up and glanced hesitantly at Brandon and Truett and decided to defend herself, with them, ignoring us. Even if she knew what she was going to tell us was all lies, which clearly she did, she just wanted the reward that was offered. She wanted Truett, or another high-ranked wolf, and would do anything to get what she wanted. She didn't know that Truett was not available anymore.

"Brandon, I was just trying to save you. Cheryl told me that you had been spelled and that you needed our help. I would not have done it for any other reason. You have to believe me" the girl told him and then knelt in front of him.

"Harper, I saw you coming to confront Raven, I heard what you said. You were playing let's make a deal, to get the chosen mate you wanted. You are well aware that both Truett and I, only wanted our true mates. You all knew that. You also know that Cheryl was just trying to get you to destroy my mate's face because of her own jealousy. You know I was not spelled. I found her more than two weeks ago. The pack was told that I found my mate. Please stop lying. I have known you your whole life, and you were willing to hurt my mate, try to deform her, all for jealousy. I am disgusted by your behavior. I will not allow you to stay here. You have all shown that you cannot be trusted around your Luna" I told them, and soon eight warriors arrived to escort them. "Take them to their rooms, and allow them to pack. Two of you with each one of them. Make sure if their families want to go with them they know that they have that option, but let the family know that they do not have to be included in the banishment with them. I want them to make their own choices, but these four girls are gone. They have 1 hour to get out of my pack, I will meet you at the gate" I told them, and Truett and Stella both nodded at Brandon, and follow behind the warriors as they pulled Harper away towards her room. She is screaming out her apologies, but I saw her when she was coming to cut Raven off. Harper is a strong fighter, and she brought a few more strong fighters with her. I saw their faces, they were planning on really hurting Raven. They can try to backpedal as much as they want, but I know the truth of what was about to happen here with them. Every one of those girls was a part of our fan club. I was planning on going over this at the town hall tonight, but I cannot believe that my mate had been here less than two hours, and this happened. I guess we won't wait until tonight. I linked Truett and told him that at 2 pm, we are having a mandatory town hall after lunch. Plus I am adding all three of our new members to the pack at that time, so they can l ink for help if anything like this ever happens again. I am furious and I am shaking in my anger, and I feel Raven's arms come around my waist. I have so many good people in my pack, how could she not be safe here? I promised her father that I would protect her, and on her first trip through the grounds, this has to happen.

I see Carter fly out the back door, with Simone hot on his heels. My parents, my brother Krew, and his new mate Lanie is right behind them. How is Raven so calm about this? I literally want to just kill them for threatening their Luna. That is what I wanted to do. I wanted to put them in cells for a month, and then torture them to death for their actions. But I don't want them to be here a single moment more. They have to go. I will make sure I am at the gate in 40 minutes to tell them all that if they ever return to Black Adder, they will die. Carter wants to check on Raven, but I cannot let her go. She is the only thing that is keeping me sane right now. She is smiling at him and telling him that she is fine, that she took care of it. But I already know from the look on his face, that he is horrified at what happened here. He is going to tell Alpha Cole, and I will be expecting a phone call tonight about it.

"I am conducting a mandatory pack meeting after lunch to make sure this never happens again. Cheryl was best friends with the ringleader, and they apparently wanted some payback for what Raven had done to Cheryl at Blood Walker. It didn't work out for them. I have banished them all from my pack" I told Carter. He nodded his approval of what had happened and knew that I took care of it swiftly. I wanted him to know that I took it very seriously, I take Raven's safety as a priority. I hold her tighter to me and bend to take in her scent. I am finally calming down, but the seriousness of this is upsetting me. Why would anyone attempt to hurt her? We don't even have a coven near us. That doesn't even make sense as an allegation. I am positive that they were just looking to try to off Raven with the excuse, in an attempt to get with me or Truett.

I underestimated the lengths that people will go to, to take a shot at Raven. I really thought that as soon as she got here, especially after I announced that my mate was coming here, she would be as safe here, as she was at Blood Walker. Clearly, that is not the case, so I need to take it to extra matters now. I have Carter and Simone take Raven to lunch as I head back to the front gate to make each of the girls, and their parents, reject their ties to the pack. I didn't want Raven to have to see any of these girls again. I also needed to make a call and was glad that I didn't knee-jerk delete her information as I suspected that I might have to contact her again.

"Hello?" Cheryl answers, and I can hear the smile in her voice. She thinks what she wanted was done, and she couldn't be more wrong.

"Are you with Reagan right now, Cheryl?" I asked her and I am fighting to keep the anger out of my voice.

I can hear a laugh in the background before I heard Reagan's mocking tone through the phone, "I am here with her, why, what's up Brandon?"

"Good, I wanted to speak to you both. I just wanted you both to know if you try to hurt Raven again, I will kill you. The both of you, and without a shred of remorse for it. I swear to the Goddess I will. So whatever plans you two have going on, they need to stop today. I promise you that if anything happens to her again, whatever you do, will come back to you tenfold. Your packs won't protect you either. That weak pack of yours will not stand a chance against mine, but rest assured that I will not be alone. I will get Cole to help me, and your pack will cease to exist at that point. I am not as nice as Cole is, I won't wait for the approval of the council. It is easier to ask for forgiveness than approval. Keep that in mind Reagan, before you make problems that you can't come back from" I told them, and I know that my Alpha tone was coming through loud and clear for them.

"What! Why Brandon? What happened?" I can hear Reagan asking me, but she lost the mocking tone she had used earlier.

"You both know what happened. Cheryl's friend dropped her name after she was caught. She and her friends are now all banished. So I guess your pack can pick up a few new members now. You are going to need all the help you can get if you don't stop. I will be calling your father, to tell him what you have done. This little incident also reminded me that I needed to tear up our treaty between us, and I will mention that to him as well too. You are out of control Reagan, and if your father and your chosen mate can't reign you back into behaving, I will" I told them both.

I heard the sharp intake of breath, and she clearly understood my threat. I had forgotten to tear the treaty up when I got back. I was in a rush to get to Raven, and I forgot to do it while I was working on my paperwork. But as soon as these four are taken care of, I will get it done. I will also be calling the rest of the packs that I have a treaty within a 100-mile radius of my pack. I was not playing when I said that they are either with me or against me. I was telling the truth, they will have to make the choice, between us. If they want to stay with Alpha Graham, that is fine, and their right to do so, but anyone who will stay with a snake like that, I do not want to associate with. I never knew he was like that before. Until I saw some of what Raven went through, I would not have thought anyone could be so heinous to their own child. But now that I know, I cannot keep associating with them. Reagan is no better than he is and she will also be a snake too, I am cutting ties completely with that pack. I think it is a courtesy to my friends to let them know who you really are at Silver Blade. They may not know what kind of a man he is either. But I am pretty sure that at least 60% of his allies will be dropping him like a hot potato, and soon.

"But I didn't tell Harper to do anything, Brandon. You don't need to be threatening us for something one of your pack members did. I don't even know her to get her to do anything for me anyway. You need to think this through before you call my dad. You might need us in the future, you don't need to be so callous with how you are treating us with no evidence at all. Do not forget that Raven is my half-sister, and our mother lives here at Silver Blade too. You don't need to threaten us like this. We didn't do anything at all to Raven. I think you are just paranoid and assuming things that you can't prove" Reagan said, and she is grasping at straws now, but she messed up. I know they did it for sure now, and that proof was what I was waiting for.

"Right, no proof. You keep on believing that Reagan," I said, as I dropped the call. I was glad that Truett and Stella were already heading my way in his SUV, with Harper following them in a vehicle behind them. She is alone, I figured that her parents had warned her, and she decided to do what she wanted to anyway. That is usually what she did. They are letting her leave on her own, she will have to face the real world without protection now. I linked Truett and told him to park in front of the gate. I needed to get Harper's phone.

Truett walked up with her phone in his hand, and said with a smirk, "I had her unlock it already. I figured you needed to look at something in there."

"You are right as usual, Truett," as I opened the texts between Harper and Cheryl. I read the conversation and tried to control my anger at the exchange. I then sent the screenshots of the conversation to my phone. I checked my phone and when I had all of them. I was walking the phone back to Harper when the ping of another text hit and I opened it when I saw it was from Cheryl.

"Harper don't admit to ANYTHING. Brandon has nothing to tie us to what happened. Delete this message like you did the rest of them. Reagan said that you can come to live here with us at Silver Blade, as long as you didn't tell him you had been talking to us. If you did you are on your own" Cheryl told her. Cheryl is consistent in her behavior. Bossy, and controlling, and I bet having to listen to Reagan is probably driving her crazy right now. I screenshotted this message too, forwarding the new message to my phone too. It named Reagan as one of the culprits, and that will help as well.

"Harper, here's your phone back. I see you got another text from Cheryl. You might want to open that one up, it could be important." I told her and turned to walk away. I don't know where she is going now and I really don't care. She did this to herself.
