Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 51

Alpha Cole's POV

My phone is ringing for the second time in as many minutes, and I glanced down at it. Justin again. I don't feel like talking to him, but with two calls it might be important. I answered it impatiently as his trying to shake me down to get to speak to Raven left a bad taste in my mouth. I thought he had the good graces to leave us all alone after that, clearly, he doesn't.

"Don't hang up!!" I heard Justin start off, yelling on my phone. What in the world is going on? We had been having a great day with Raven just leaving about 15 minutes ago, and now Justin is clowning.

"What are you calling me for? I will not allow you to speak to Raven. You need to move on, pup" I growled out.

"Raven is going to be in danger" Justin blurted out. He sounded panicked and really worried right now. I realized that Reagan had still not learned and this was going to be a big problem. Raven was not going to answer her phone. She was still a new driver, and she was pregnant now, so Olivia drilled into her to be careful, as she had precious cargo on board. The thought of something happening to my baby who is carrying my grand pup stopped me in my tracks.

Olivia ran into the room, she could tell that I was really upset and she came to comfort me. I had Justin on speaker and told him, "Tell me what Reagan did."

"I am on my way to you right now, Alpha Cole. I know I don't deserve your trust, but I am telling you the absolute truth. Even though what I am going to tell you is going to sound crazy. I realized that I had just been set up by Reagan, she pretended to be Raven. This is bad, and I don't want to tell you the whole thing over the phone. I told my family to come to you, they had to get out of Silver Blade before Reagan realized that I knew it was her. I am OK if you won't take us in, but Reagan and Graham came up with a heinous plan. I was not in the loop because they were leaving me and Raven as the ones to bear the punishment. I have proof of everything on my phone. Even if you won't allow my family and me to stay at Blood Walker, I will show you and tell you what happened. My parents will be there soon. Please just wait for me at the gate I am about 7 minutes away. You will need to look me in the eye to see if I am telling the truth or not. You wouldn't believe me if I told you over the phone" Justin told me, and now I am scared of what this could possibly be. This is going to be a big problem, and I linked my Beta to grab about 8 warriors and meet me with two SUVS at the gate in 5 minutes.

I kissed Olivia as I exited my office, she was crying because she knows that I am fully aware that Raven may be in a great deal of danger, and I headed to the gate. Timothy was already there with the men, and I recognized Charlie my head trainer in the group. I knew he had a crush on Raven, and he is an excellent fighter, so it is good to bring him along. I am not going to let anything happen to my baby girl.

Justin was right, his parents and younger brother were already at the gate. I have heard of Randolph Evans before. According to my intel on the Silver Blade pack, his family is the only decent one in Silver Blade. He takes his training very seriously, and it is obvious that he trains hard daily. I have a Beta, and Gamma, I do not have a Delta though and if Justin has something valuable to give me, I do not mind giving his father a chance here, especially if Raven tells me that he and his family weren't involved in her abuse. I will house them tonight in the visitor's area on the Beta level while I get this squared away. I linked Olivia to bring three warriors to the gate with her and that we were going to give them that temporary housing there until I knew what the hell was going to do. I was already letting them into Blood Walker when I see a vehicle coming flying up towards the gate.

Justin parked his truck sideways in the visitor's area outside the gate and ran up to me. He looked terrible. He only had shorts on, and his shirt and shoes were in his hands as he begged to go with me to go to get Raven. he was insisting that we needed to leave right now. I had a quick discussion in my link with Timothy, with Justin pulling his shirt over his head to get dressed, and then pulling his shoes on. When he straightened back up, he said, "We need to go, now, please Alpha Cole." I can sense that he is truly concerned about Raven, so I am going to let him come with us. I couldn't leave him here, I had a gut feeling that he needed to be with us, and I have learned over the years to trust my gut.

"You can ride with me, Justin, come on. Timothy, when I get the story, I will link you to let you know what happened" I told him. A total of 4 warriors came with me and the other 4 got in Timothy's SUV. We left quickly heading to Black Adder. From how anxious Justin was I didn't want to waste any time. He got there quickly, and I was flying just as fast to get to Raven. She drives a little slow, as she doesn't want to mess her SUV up, so if all goes well, I should get there about 10 minutes after she does. But I need to know what the hell is going on here. Brandon dotes on Raven, why would he do anything to hurt her? It just doesn't make any sense. I looked over at Justin and he is worried, I mean really worried, and I need to know now what happened. "Justin, tell me what happened. I need to know, so I can deal with this" I told him. He nodded and glanced back at the men behind us and then started to tell me the craziest story that I have ever heard. The more he spoke the better I understood. He started reading the texts to me, from the start, almost a month ago. He also took pictures of them and sent them to me. Yea, I am going to need that. They set a perfect trap for him. he is as anxious as I am about getting to her, and I can tell that he fully thought that it was Raven. Clearly, Reagan has lost all sense of reality. I have never heard of such a thing in all my years. They did look alike, they both had Cassandra's face. I could see when a man pining away for his lost love would not realize he was being tricked. I could see why he was half naked when he arrived now. His only thought was to go help, Raven.

He was right. He had heard enough bits and pieces from him starting with the meeting in Graham's office for me to know exactly what happened here. Graham said it himself, it would take something huge to happen to get the council off of them and onto other matters. He was going to have me attack Brandon, and us fight it out between us, to leave them alone. I linked Timothy what happened and then we each linked our mates to tell them. All the warnings that we gave them, they still had the gall to do this. They will deserve what they get from it. I called council member Emerson to bring him up to speed and then had Justin forward the same texts to him. It was proof that they had done a long con on him. I will find proof somewhere to show exactly what lengths Reagan would go to, but right now my first concern was my baby girl. We were about ten minutes out when Justin told me to slow down. I did, and if I hadn't we would have missed her. I am starting to think that he did still have some of the mate bond with Raven, this didn't make any sense at all. Her SUV had run off the road, and she had hit a tree.

Justin got there at the same time I did, with Charlie right behind us. She was bleeding on her head from where it hit the steering wheel, and as I carried her to my SUV, I could see blood on my white t-shirt. She had a wound on the bad of her head too. I am furious. Why would he let her drive clearly injured? I howled out in fury at Brandon's callous actions, and I don't have time to engage with him. That will be done after my baby is OK. I had two of the warriors drive her car back with us. It only had damage to the protective grill, she must have been almost at a stop, as she just rolled into it. She may have just passed out from blood loss, I don't know. All I know is that someone will be paying with their lives for this.

I held my daughter to me as we went back home. I cannot control my emotions and I linked Timothy. I was too upset to do it, but I told him that someone needed to straighten Brandon out. Whatever he thought, was wrong. He almost got my baby girl killed, and I will NOT be letting it go. Timothy agreed and went ahead to link Stella. One way or another we were going to get to the bottom of all this.

I closed the link and looked down at my daughter and see that Justin is holding her hand gently in his and watching her with concern all over his face. It is obvious that he loves her, but Raven is very much like me. When you screw me over, I am done with you. I do not know that he will be given a second chance with her. But I also don't know what Brandon did to her yet either. I pray for Brandon's sake that he did not do anything to Raven. It didn't look like she had clear or visible injuries, but she had two head wounds. I am very upset, and I am trying to control my breathing because I need some answers.

I link Olivia again and tell her to go to the pack hospital and get them prepared to receive Raven. I can feel Olivia's emotions and they mirror mine. No time for questions. I need her checked out as soon as we get there, and we will park on the sidewalk if we need to. I gave her an ETA of 15 minutes and I dropped the link. I just can't stop telling Raven, that she will be OK. I don't know if I am telling her the truth or not, but it is my job to love and protect her, and clearly, that ball got dropped. I don't even know if she can hear me, or not. I do know that I want to rip Brandon's head off his shoulders and use it for a bowling ball though. Reagan had a great plan, he is mad at her, and indirectly me, and I am furious with him. It was a great idea to get us to fight each other, and forget about Silver Blade.

I glanced over at Justin and he is still holding her hand and talking to her calmly. He is telling her that he is here with her and that he will help her. I don't know how true that is either, but I do know in my hurry I would have blown straight by where she was crashed, in my effort to get to Black Adder, as we had been traveling very fast when he told me to slow down. I let out a sigh, there is something there, even if I don't understand it myself, but he clearly loves Raven. I guess we have a new Delta family now. Justin can take it over when his dad retires if he can prove himself worthy. I will be keeping an eye on him though.

We pulled up and I see my family, and the beta family standing right there with them, and they all looked serious. There is a gurney already there, and Olivia knew I wasn't joking about parking on the sidewalk. I told Charlie to go ahead and park at the door. I got out and placed Raven gently on the gurney and the blood all over me, made the family gasp if fear. She was breathing fine while I had her, but I don't know the extent of her injuries. She had the top doctor, and several nurses with her when she was taken back and I had Charlie go stand outside of her room to protect her. I needed to figure out my next move, and I am so upset for Raven, that I don't know what to do first.

"I

I got a hold of Stella, and she said that Brandon didn't hit her, Raven was trying to grab his arm and he pulled away from her. Raven then tripped on the stairs and fell when she lost her balance. She wanted to come with her, but Raven told her that she was fine. Stella stayed behind to straighten Brandon out. She was mentioning that Brandon was totally convinced that Raven had cheated on him. I gave her a heads-up on what Reagan did. Hopefully, she will be able to talk some sense into Brandon before it is too late" Timothy told me. I don't know, Raven, may or may not forgive him. From the sounds of it, he wouldn't listen to the two eyewitnesses she had with her, or called to ask me or Beta Timothy. She was with us all day. I know he loves Raven too, but I hope he didn't burn his own bridge down with what he did to her. Sometimes words hurt a hell of a lot more than being hit. Words have a way of staying with us, long after they are said.

I have got to do something. I can't just stand around here. I called council member Emerson again and asked him to come to my pack in the morning. It was getting too late to demand him to come now. He surprised me by telling me that he would be here in an hour, as he had packed up and was headed my way now from when I first called him. That made me happy, and I linked the gate guards that he was coming. I kept pacing around until Olivia made me sit down and she sat in my lap. I am trying so hard to stay calm. I am also trying to not say something that could cause a problem for Simone and Carter. She was his sister and I don't want to cause a problem between us, especially if Raven decides to go back to Black Adder. But I wanted to know what had happened. I was absolutely disgusted by his behavior. He made her leave after he knew she was injured. Did he not know that she was pregnant? He sent his mate, and pup, out to be hurt.

"Dad, can I speak to you outside please?" Carter said to me about 10 minutes later. Olivia stood up and I followed Carter out, with Beta Timothy right behind me.

"Dad, look at this. Simone was sent this video from an unknown account. It was saying that it was proof that Raven was a slut. It has been forwarded out to all the ranked wolves, in a 200-mile radius. It is hard to watch, but mom said that Raven had been with you both all day. Simone said she had spoken to her mother and found out that Raven had been at Black Adder the whole month since she arrived, and had never left. Today was the only time that she left the pack. It has Raven's name on it, but it isn't Raven. I think this is what Brandon was sent, what pushed him over the edge. It really looks like whoever did this was deliberately trying to destroy Raven, and Justin's, reputations" Carter told me and I look down and I know what this is. It is the video that Justin came here to warn me about.

"Justin came to me to warn me that Raven was in danger. I can see that she does look exactly like Raven. It was Reagan, she changed her hair color and got contacts. Justin thought it was Raven, he thought that she had forgiven him, and wanted him back. He fell for it. He found out after the fact it was Reagan when he saw his mark on her shoulder. He took off after that to warn me, but clearly, they were ready to go with the whole thing pretty quickly. I thought that he should be ashamed to fall for the trick, but Goddess looking at her really does look like Raven. I can see where Brandon had his heart broken seeing the video. It looks like she cheated" I agreed with Carter. I was barely holding on earlier about this situation, and finding out that this video is being shared over and over again, as free p**n, smearing my daughter's name. It is breaking my heart for her. I am going to kill Reagan, and Graham, myself.

This video is sent out, and the absolute proof of it was damning. It looks bad. I need to get some crowd control on this and called Justin over. I just held the video up for him to see, and I can tell by his face, that he was shocked at the clarity of the video. There was no denying it, it looked like he and Raven were in bed together. Right now, I am just thankful that Brandon didn't reject Raven on the spot when she got home. She could have lost the pup if he had. That was at least something. Maybe he knows in the back of his mind that something was off, but couldn't put his finger on it. Thank the Goddess for whatever it was because it could have been worse. He could have killed my sweet girl in his anger.
