Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter
Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 47

Reagan's POV

I am surrounded by idiots. I swear to the Goddess that I am. Cheryl absolutely swore that this Harper girl could handle this small thing. Yet we get a call from Brandon so quickly. What happened there? We tried texting her to see if she got to cut Raven's face, with no response back. In fact, none of the girls responded to our texts. Cheryl knew all of them and said that they would be able to subdue Raven to get this done. I was so excited about my sister no longer looking like me. Her face was going to be ruined, and that made me really happy. Justin won't want her so freaking much if she was marred by a knife. Seeing Cheryl's face had given me the idea. She wasn't a beauty queen, to begin with, but now when you look at her, your eyes go immediately to the scar on her face. Her wolf had healed her, well as best she could. Without the wound being cleaned before it was healed, it was an obvious flaw to anyone looking at her. I figured after a few hints from me would make Cheryl "think of it" on her own. When she did, I praised her for thinking of a great way to get Raven back, the same way that she had gotten hurt herself. It kind of kept me out of it, even though I planted the seed. Cheryl was happy to do this, as her parents had both been horrified to see her scar at breakfast this morning. Cheryl is getting madder and madder by the minute because people are looking at the mark before her eyes. She is furious that her face has been ruined by Raven, and wants to get her back so badly. It was so easy to lead her where I wanted.

The fact that we had gotten a call so quickly after the plan was supposed to be implemented gave me cause for concern. Then we couldn't reach anyone, and I had a sinking feeling. When Brandon called, I was hoping it was because he was going to cry over Raven's ruined face, but he was calm. I believe she got out of it again. I am pissed. The other girls called and said that they were headed our way. The lack of response from Harper leads me to believe that the text that Cheryl sent her, tells me she did rat us out. Why am I surrounded by people who fail me? Do I have to do it every time for it to work out correctly? I mean seriously.

"You know that you could just stop, right? You have punished her enough" Lena, my wolf, links me.

"I know that, but why would I? She has too many blessings, she doesn't deserve them" I linked her back.

"She had nothing but heartache for her first 18-plus years. You know this. You watched it yourself as you grew up. You have everything already. You have her mate, you are about to be Luna. What else could you possibly want to take away from her? You need to leave it alone. You won, let it go" Lena replies back.

"But I haven't won. She got another mate, even more handsome than Justin. Her father has a bigger, more successful, pack. She needs to be punished for it. She is not supposed to be better than me in any way" I linked back, and my jealousy at Raven has got me furious.

"That was the Goddess. Raven had no control over any of this. I have a bad feeling if you continue on, you are going to get us killed. Just do what your dad and Justin said, and leave Raven alone" Lena links back.

She doesn't know what she is talking about. She is full of it, and I don't want to freaking hear it. I blocked Lena and go back to my other plan. Clearly, Harper didn't get what we needed to done, the other girls verified that for us. I will go into town today and get a cheap cell phone. I will need it for my plan to work. I can have Cheryl use it when I am with Justin so he doesn't think it is me. It is going to take me at least a month to get my plan into action, but I can use that time to get ready. I am going to take everything she has, everything that she values, away from her. I can only best her if she has nothing left.

We head into town, and I need to get a few things done today. I have planned this out perfectly, and there is no way that this can go wrong. Thankfully, Cheryl still has some friends at Black Adder, because I will need to be told when Raven comes into town. I couldn't get anyone at Blood Walker to accept a bribe to tell me anything about the Alpha family at Blood Walker. But Cheryl said that she could strike up conversations with a few of her old friends to see if she could get one of them to do it. This is only going to work if we can get Brandon to believe that it is true. His own jealous, and possessive nature will do the rest of the job for us. I realize while we are out I need to pick up something else, as I have put a lot of thought into it. I go back through my phone to get ideas. I hate that I need to get to this extreme to get this done, but apparently, I need to. This will be the last plan that I will be putting in motion. I will have complete deniability in it. If it is successful, there will be nothing else that I need to do to Raven ever again. I will have completely stolen her happiness and joy away. I will leave her with nothing.

I smile in happiness as we come back to Silver Blade, right up until I pulled to the front of the packhouse. My dad was apparently told by the gate guards that I had returned, so he was here to meet me. I saw his texts while we were out, but I ignored them. I was not going to come back before I got everything that I needed to get this done. I have more stops than I first thought that I would. I also started the plan to work while we were at lunch. I sent the first couple of texts. I was going to have Cheryl do the honors tonight while I was eating with Justin, so he would see that I was not on my phone. Even if he checked my phone there would be nothing there. I was keeping the extra phone on silent, and I doubted that he would search for it. Once I get him convinced that it isn't me, he will want to believe in his heart, that it is her.

I know why dad is out here. He is really pissed this time, so Brandon must have called him, and started with his plan. Good, then I have the excuse that I need to go ahead with mine. That was the deal that I had made with dad. But I never stopped, I just told dad I would. I already know he won't fall for it though. He had taught me everything I knew. He is just as deceitful as I am, actually more so, because he never taught me all his tricks. He needed to hold something back, I think that dad worries about me killing him to get the pack, but I was perfectly content with waiting to be the Luna. Well, I was content to wait now, knowing that the position was mine. It is confirmed, and I am good with doing whatever I want until I take over the pack. I still get the benefits and respect, but I don't have to do the work. Mom keeps doing all of it for me, she seems happy to do it, and who and I do deny her happiness.

"Come with me" my father demands, and I pass off the bags to Cheryl. I don't want them to see what I have, and she was good with taking them up for me. There is nothing in there that she wants or needs. Plus she will have the burner phone to send him texts. We enter his office and I see Justin is already sitting there in one of the two chairs in front of dads desk. His posture is tense, and I can tell that the plan is working. He is furious, and I have to hold back my smile. This is going to be so much easier than I thought it would be. I sit down in the other chair, sit back, and wait for them to start.

"Raven, what in the hell? Didn't I tell you to leave Raven alone? I mean it was just last night. There is no way that you could have forgotten, You think that you can just do whatever you want, but you can't. Are you even serious about becoming Luna here?" my dad said to me.

"Dad, of course, I want to be Luna. That is all I have dreamed of for over 8 years. This is my pack. I picked my Alpha. I want to help run Silver Blade" I told him. I am pissed that he would even think otherwise.

"That seems incorrect, as you keep trying to get us attacked with your behavior," dad tells me, in a little calmer tone.

"Dad that was not me. I don't care what Alpha Brandon said. Cheryl and I were here, and I don't know anything about whatever problem he had. I told him that already, but he just wanted to blame Cheryl and me, for his pack acting up. That is on them, not us. He clearly has issues and just assumed it was us. I am your daughter, you need to believe what I say, not what he is suggesting. I can't help the fact that no matter where Raven goes, people end up not liking her. That is on her" I told him. I am not getting mad, and I am not acting nervous. The most important thing about lying is to remember that as long as you believe it, it really isn't a lie.

"Well, that makes what I have to say even weirder then. I was sent proof, and I was informed that he had also forwarded it to Alpha Cole. He wants the council to see what you have done, at his pack. The day he brings his mate home. Goddess, I am so pissed off at you" dad tells me. Now I am getting nervous. I know better than to incriminate myself, so I stayed quiet. I am going to let him tell me, I don't want to admit to anything that he doesn't already know. "Reagan, what did I tell you was the most important thing in any plan?" dad asks me.

"To not let anyone know it was you. Secrets are best kept to oneself" I told him. I suddenly realized where this was going. I am going to dump this whole thing on Cheryl. There was nothing at all to tie me to this.

"I didn't do anything though dad. Brandon called Cheryl, and he wanted to speak to me too. I don't know why. He assumed we did something to Raven. I don't know what he was talking about. I promise you I don't know what happened there, or who did it. I don't have any control over what happens at Black Adder," I told him, and I sounded sincere, even to my own ears.

"You don't know why? You don't know why Brandon wanted to speak to you? Are you insane, Reagan? You have spent your life hurting your sister, but you don't know why he would contact Cheryl and want to speak to the both of you?" Justin is so pissed off the veins in his neck are swollen in his anger. I have never seen him this angry and when I glanced at dad, his veins are bulging too.

"Look, I swear to you both, I don't..." I started to say when I heard my own voice sounding out in the room. That son of a b***h recorded the call. I am furious, but I listen along, and when it ends, I am glad. I don't hear anything that links me to whatever Harper did at Black Adder.

I motioned towards dads phone and leaned back confidently in my chair and said, "See, told you. I told you both that I had nothing at all to do with whatever it was that happened at Alpha Brandon's pack."

I feign hurt and give my dad the look that usually has him eating out of my hand. But it isn't working. I start working up some tears, because that always works for me, and still his face is a mask of fury. I don't understand, this always works. Why is it not working today?

"Reagan, I cannot believe you. At all. I am so disappointed, I cannot even begin to tell you. I have real concerns about how long Silver Blade will be able to continue on, especially after you take over. You have been getting away with murder, and you have no real care for anyone but yourself. For someone who was demanding her "birthright" you sure seem to be determined on losing it" my dad tells me. I can hear the pain, frustration, and anger in his voice. He is really upset, and I cannot figure out why. I am his daughter, his own flesh and blood. He has never gotten mad at me until that b***h left the pack. If he thinks that I am going to take over the position of becoming the local punching bag and getting hurt, like she was, he has another thing coming.

"Dad, I didn't do anything. He can accuse me, and Cheryl all day long. That doesn't mean anything at all. You are smarter than this dad. You don't need to fall for his trick. That is all this is, a trick. We didn't do anything, and he couldn't prove it even if we had" I tell dad confidentially. I heard the recording, he has nothing. I have nothing at all to worry about, so he said my name, big deal. It doesn't matter, I didn't admit to anything, so he has nothing.

"I am smarter than this, Reagan. But even I slip up. Cole didn't notice it when I did, but I messed up when Cole came over after you tried, again, to kill Raven. I accidentally let it slip that I knew that he had called the council and reported us. Thankfully, he was way too mad at the time. It hasn't come back up, and I think we got a pass on it. But I am not sure about that yet. You see, Reagan, anyone can make a mistake. I did, and you did too. I am going to play it again and listen this time, really listen" my dad tells me and starts the recording again.

I am almost rolling my eyes in frustration now. He keeps going with this, and clearly, he knows something that I don't so I listen, and this time I freeze. s**t. I as good as admitted it right to his face. f**k, they both knew and I have been sitting here lying my a*s off in front of them. No wonder dad is so disappointed in me. They both realized that I knew what the problem was now. He never mentioned who the friend was, and I called her name, without knowing her at all. I as good as confirmed to him that we had done it. That is why he sent the recording. We are toast.

"Dad, wait, Cheryl came up with the plan. She told me after the fact. I couldn't stop it if I wanted to, because I am not friends with them, she is, and she is the reason that it happened. You can check my phone right now dad, I didn't do it. I found out about it after she did it. She told me when we were out to lunch" I told him scrambling to think because I wasn't prepared for this right now. I am caught and I am just trying to get free because dad is madder than I have ever seen him.

"Reagan, do you know why you have been successful, with your little plans up to this point?" My dad asked me, and I swear, I need a moment to give him an answer, but I don't know what he is implying right now. I am flustered, and I know that whatever I am about to say will not be the right answer for him. I shrugged, as I really have no clue. He knew it, as he scoffs the second I shrugged. He expected me to do that or at the very least me to the get answer wrong.

"Reagan, it was because I came up with them. I put thought into them and then brought them to you. It was because I have much more experience in this than you do. You have made blunder, after blunder, and I am really concerned about what is about to happen. You pissed Cole off, really badly. You just pissed Brandon off really badly. You talk too much and it is your downfall. Just because you didn't hear it on the recording the first time, Brandon heard it. He knew you were lying. Who else has it in for Raven? Just you two morons. I told you to leave it alone, and you refused. I guess you won't stop until we are at war" my dad told to me.
