Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 53

Brandon's

POV

believe her?

Holy s**t! Stella was right, I was so angry at the video and that she allowed that a*****e to touch her, that I lost my mind. I sat there stunned. She called me on my bullshit, and I was the one really in the wrong. Why didn't Raven argue with me, tell me. Make me "She tried to i***t. She did tell you. Couldn't you feel her confusion at what you were saying to her? She didn't know what you were talking about. Mate also didn't smell like him, she carried her scent, and yours. You hurt mate, and our pup" Axe linked me, and I am sick over my actions.

"I was thinking that it might be his pup, which pissed me off even more. I was angry, and I wanted her to be as hurt as I was, so I lashed out. I thought that she was just saying it was mine to get to stay in the pack." I linked him back.

"She never left the pack, except for today to meet her family for lunch and a free day. How could she have gotten pregnant by anyone else? Stella was right, about the horrible things you said. I was upset too, but I would never have called mate what you did. There was something off with it, but I didn't know what it was until Stella mentioned it. You had no proof of Raven being unfaithful. You have a mole, and Cheryl needs to be taken care of too. Mate needs to be safe if she comes back" Axe told me, and that is when the real fear crept up.

What have I done? What did I say to my sweet mate? I am disgusted by my own behavior. How can I fix this? Goddess, she wrecked leaving here. Is she OK? Clearly, Cole knew, and yet he didn't come here to tell me. I feel like I need to call him, to see how Raven is, but I caused this whole thing. I cannot bear the consequence of losing my pup, my baby, over my jealousy. Goddess, what do I need to do?

I have to call, that can't wait. I need to call and check on her. I deserve the a*s-chewing that I am about to receive, but I looked at the video, and there was glaringly obvious in my face. If I had been thinking clearly I would have remembered it myself because my mate did not have a mole on her lower ribcage like that. Stella was exactly right, in all of her points. Truett should be proud to have such a strong, smart mate.

"They left. They just left our packland" I heard Truett say before his voice broke. I see Krew stiffen up and I see both of them mind linking their mates. I can see the pain and frustration as they tried to reach out, and were obviously being blocked. I caused that too. We all thought we saw Raven in that video. We were all so justifiably upset, that we never pieced it together. Stella was angry, and she was right, they were telling all of us that they had been with her all day. Either all together or one or the other with Raven, but we all three ignored them thinking that they were just trying to cover for Raven. I know why. It was because I believed it so completely. I should have known if it was Raven in the video to not. Seeing it with perspective, Raven has bigger breasts, than Reagan, and she is much more toned than Reagan. Reagan is slim, but Raven is cut, she has definition from all the training that she does. They are not exactly the same. I just saw her face, and then Justin, and by then I was so angry I wasn't able to see that it wasn't my precious mate. I picked up my cell and tried to call Alpha Cole. It went to voicemail every time. I tried Carter a few times, also with no answer. I then finally Simone. She did answer but was speaking in a very low tone like she didn't want anyone to know that she was on the phone with me. I don't blame her, I am probably public enemy number #1 right now with Blood Walker.

"What?" She asked in a sharp tone. I know I am putting her in a spot, but I need to know if Raven is OK.

"I am sorry. I will come there first thing in the morning to apologize. I swear I didn't realize that it wasn't Raven. It looked like her in the video. I was jealous and possessive of her, and it hurt me so much to see it. I was in so much pain, that I wasn't thinking clearly. I love her, I would never want anything bad to happen to her. Is she OK? Is our baby OK?" I asked her. I was scared to hear the answer to the last two questions. If they weren't, it was absolutely my fault.

"They are OK, for right now. It was touch-and-go for a little while, but her whole family donated blood for her. They are keeping her overnight and will see about letting her out tomorrow. But you sent her away when she was hurt, Brandon. What in the hell were you thinking? She could have been killed, and the baby too. How could you do that? You could have asked her, and yet she said you refused to talk to her. You condemned her like she was Liza when Raven never did anything to you. I saw the video. If you can prove it was Reagan, you need to do that. The comments are terrible. Justin's phone is totally blowing up too over the video" Simone told me.

"Wait, Justin is there? At Blood Walker? With Raven?" I asked slowly. How? Why?

"Yes, apparently he discovered that it wasn't Raven while he was still there with her. He saw his mark on her shoulder. He knew what she was planning to do and was worried about Raven. He helped save her. He insisted on going with Cole, and they found her because Justin knew where she was. They would have driven right past her if he hadn't been with them. She got treatment in time to save them both, only because of Justin" Simone told me, and I am stunned. How the hell did he know that? From the sound of it, she was not in a place that they would have seen. The chill comes over me as I realize that she could have bled out, and died, if not for Justin. I cannot control my emotions and I start to cry, for my mate, and my precious baby, for me and my stupid actions. They didn't deserve that. I will kill Reagan for this. I cannot allow them to do anything else to Raven. She has been put through too much. This is going to end, even without the council's approval.

"Brandon, are you OK?" I heard Simone ask me. I know she could hear me crying on the phone.

"I am not. I almost got my mate, and baby killed. I will be there in the morning. Please tell Carter and Cole that I am coming. Tell them that I don't want any trouble, and I don't want to start anything with them. I will just be there to see Raven if she is willing to see me. I also want to get plans together with Cole for the war. We need to take care of Reagan, Graham, and the Peters family. They have done more than enough, and they cannot be allowed to get away with it. I don't care if it is sanctioned, or not. I will ask for forgiveness from the council after I deal with them. But Reagan won't be getting another shot at Raven, ever again" I told Simone.

"I will text you what they say. I don't want you to get hurt. Alpha Cole is pretty mad" Simone told me.

"Thank you, Simone. Please let them know that Krew and Truett will be with me. Good night" I told her and got off the phone. At least I knew that Raven was stable. The anger comes over me quickly. How dare Reagan pull this? Did she really think that there would be no payback for her in this? I warned her. I owe her. This is the third time she had crossed the line. I think that she has earned everything that she is about to get.

"Get packed, we will all be going to Blood Walker in the morning. We need to earn our mates back, and I wish I could tell you that it is going to be easy, but it will not. I deserve it. I just hope that you two have an easier road of it. But whatever it takes, that is what I am going to do to get Raven back" I told them.

We all headed for our empty rooms, and the full weight of my actions settles on me the second I stepped into our room. I stare helplessly at her side of the bed. It has only been a month since she arrived, but her scent already clings to my room. She is supposed to be here with me. She is mine, and yet, I caused this. She begged me to listen to her, my refusal was like a slap in the face. I hurt her because I was weak and sent her away. My chest is squeezing me to death and I grabbed her pillow as I let all the pain of today come out. It was me. I knew how vicious her sister was, and I just assumed my sweet Raven had betrayed me. If I had been in my right mind I would have known, I didn't feel the pain. The pain you feel when your mate sleeps with another. I watched the video, and yet I had never felt any pain to prove my mate had betrayed me. I am a smart man. I should have known right from the start, but I didn't. I am just hoping that her knowing my background will help her to be able to forgive me. To understand that I went right back to the pain of my previous experience, and thought that Raven had betrayed me the same way Liza had.

Stella was right, we lumped them all together, branded them guilty, and never listened to a word that any of them said. Why did we do that? Have we gotten so arrogant, that we believe that we cannot make mistakes? Were Krew, and Truett just following my lead on this? They didn't listen to their mates either. I think the shock value of the video, just pushed us into a really bad place. Updated by FindNovel.net, visit for more free novels.Made us make some really bad decisions from the jump. This is really bad, they knew we wouldn't just let them go, and they tricked us all. I have to say that I am very impressed, especially with Stella. She is not scared to call an apple an apple. She put me in my place, and she should have. I was totally in the wrong. I should have the same faith in my mate, that she had in me. I should have done the same thing that Stella did and looked at the video to disprove it like she did, and it took her like 10 minutes. I just watched it, and believe that my sweet mate was capable of the ultimate deception. Scenting my mate from her pillow is helping to calm me, but then I remember, I need to get her back and quickly. Justin is apparently at Blood Walker, he fully intends to get her back. He already told me that, he pulled no punches, and he knows what he lost. He wants her back and will do anything to get her back. I am very curious about how the hell he knew where she was. How does he still have any bond at all with her? That isn't supposed to happen. I have heard about twins, or triplets having one bonded mate, but they carry similar DNA. So the children could be said to be "theirs" but that was not like this. I have never heard of it occurring with two different, unrelated men being fated to her, at the same time. He gave her up. She is mine now, I will not let her go. I need to find out exactly what is going on here. Maybe I can get some of the elders on it because I am struggling here. I will not let that jerk touch one hair on her head. The only thing that is bringing me any comfort at all, is the fact that Alpha Cole is not a big fan of Justin either. "I bet he isn't a big fan of yours either right now" Axe linked me. He is right.

"You are not helping, at all. We need her back. I need her Axe" I liked him back.

"I know we do. You need to make this right Brandon. You are putting your pride at the front of this, and not looking at the big picture. We need to wait and find out what is going on before you make any big moves. I cannot believe that I am calmer than you are about this" Axe linked back. He is right, but it seems like he is aware of something that I am not. I know that he is close to Emerald, but this secretive stuff is really getting on my nerves.

I could not sleep, so I packed a small bag and waited in the lobby. At 7 am, I see Krew, and Truett exit the elevator, and head for me. "Did you get any sleep?" Krew asked me.

"None, but I need to see my mate, so I am ready to go," I told them.

"I

I got a few hours sleep, I will drive," Truett said, and we all grabbed a breakfast sandwich from the breakfast bar and a bottle of water for the drive. I wanted to go straight to her when we got there, and I didn't want to stop for anything.

I fired off the emails about if it was even possible for a phantom bond to exist. I guess anything is possible. We are going to find out. I asked them to reach out to other elders, to try to hear if any of them had heard of it before. I need to know what I am dealing with here. I won't be able to relax, as this whole thing with Justin is very irritating. I know that he still wanted her. That was the entire problem. Anyone watching that video could see it all over his face. He believe that he was with Raven, and he was looking at her with love. He made love to her on the first round in their video, and the love he had for her was written all over his face. He did love and care for her, and that was the most dangerous part. He will not stop, he as good as told me that he wouldn't ever stop at the party, not until he got her back.

We pulled up, and I was expecting problems at the gate. I wasn't wrong. We were told to park in the visitor's area, outside the gate. Alpha Cole was sent a mindlink from the gate guards to advise him that we were here. Yea, he is pissed. We figured it out at the 30- minute mark when he and Beta Timothy finally arrived. I was expecting the looks I got from them. Truett still seemed surprised by the look Beta Timothy gave him. They were both giving off a "Try me" vibe today, but I wasn't here to fight or cause any problems. "I am sorry. I am so sorry Alpha Cole. I love Raven, but seeing her and Justin together in that video. It hurt me on another level. You heard about my scandal 7 years ago. You knew I had baggage from it. Seeing them together, and him so clearly in love with her, Hurt me to my core. I just asked her to give me some time, while I dealt with my emotions. I still love and want her. Please let me see her. I came just to see her, and to speak to you about the war with Silver Blade. I cannot allow what they just did to Raven to pass. Reagan needs to die, I cannot allow her, or Graham or the peters family to come back on Raven ever again. With or without the council's blessing. I need to get this done" I told Alpha Cole.

"I agree with you, Brandon. We will be moving forward. I need to tell you though. Justin has not left her side all night. He is still in there with her right now. Do not cause a problem. I allowed it because the doctor told me that she probably wouldn't have made it if we were 15 minutes later than we were. If Justin hadn't made me stop, she would have died last night probably in my arms, he saved Raven's life. She needed three full bags of blood last night. Thankfully my blood and Carter's blood were a match. Olivia and Austin's blood were a match too, as they are both O. So we were able to donate for her. She doesn't need to be under any stress right now. Please respect that. I will let you in, but you need to fix this. You broke her faith last night Brandon, you broke her, I am telling you to tread lightly, and fix this, for both of you." Alpha Cole told me. I nodded in agreement. Whatever it takes, I will do it. I will just keep reminding myself.

I remained calm, as we drove over to the pack hospital. The closer I got to her room the more Axe was up and excitedly turning around in my head. I could not wipe the smile off my face as I was about to see her again. It hadn't been a full day apart, and yet this day has been the worst time frame in my life that I can remember. Even worse than what happened with Liza. I walked into her room and saw her lying on the bed, with the machine tracking all her vitals. I have to take a deep breath to steady myself. I go to take a step towards her when I noticed a brown head lying on the blanket covering her. Justin is asleep, and he is holding her hand while they sleep, like she was his lifeline. His head is lying on the side of her mattress not touching her, just lying next to her legs, but that doesn't make it any better. I tried to hold my growl of displeasure in, I really did. But I couldn't stop it. I watch as my mate's eyes fly open, and her heart rate monitor goes off in alarm.
