Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 57

Brandon's POV

I am going to kick this jerk's a*s. He cannot just show back up and get right back to being her mate. How can that possibly be fair? He messed up, and he lost her. That was before I even knew her, he cannot be mad at, or blame me, for any of this. He was rejected before I even scented her. She was free to be my mate, he was done. She cannot be serious that she feels the bond back with him. This is ridiculous. I am feeling sick about this. If only I had listened yesterday, I would have made absolutely sure that this douchebag never got anywhere near my mate to even see her. I mean, I would have had to let her dad and Beta onto my packland to check on her, but Justin would have had to stay in the SUV, like the dog he is. He cheated on her, and he doesn't deserve a second chance. "Right, and you do?" I heard Axe come through in our link.

"I love her" I linked him back.

"He does too, you saw the video. Their bond had been broken, and Raven herself told you that it was back, not 100%, but back again. That is not something that she, or he, could have done. That is some next-level power. Your pride is just taking a hit here. It will be just fine, Emerald has been talking to both me and Lorne about this. We can all sense that we are supposed to be mates. The reason is coming as soon as you humans can calm down. Usually, it is us causing the aggressive behavior, but it is you two humans doing it this time" Axe tells me.

He is right, it is me and Justin butting heads on this. Raven has been calm, and she needs to stay calm after her trauma. I wince at the thought of what I had done. I bumped him deliberately because I was mad at Cole and the council member thinking that it was just going to be fine for him to lay a claim to Raven. My pup needed to be protected, and apparently from me. Justin was the one to think about Raven and our baby. I will calm down, I can do better. My anger and frustration are clearly out of control, and I need to reign them in, right now. If I go too far, she will reject me. I know for a fact if something I do causes her to lose the baby, that she might leave me. I need to make sure that the pup and Raven stay safe, and with me.

"I am sorry, Raven. That was my fault for being jealous and bumping Justin. Thank you, Justin, for getting her, and our pup, safely out of the way. I was angry and frustrated, as I don't know what is going on right now with the three of us being tied together" I told them and then ran my hand through my hair. I was really going to fight with him in this enclosed space, with two pregnant she-wolves. I don't know what I was thinking.

I see Alpha Cole, Raven, and Justin all looking at me stunned, and I guess they didn't think that I was going to calm down so quickly. They also didn't expect the apology either, but I was sincere in it. Justin did what I didn't think to do, and took Raven out of the way so she wouldn't get hit. What if I had knocked her down? What if she hit her head again? Goddess, I cannot take a chance of her being hurt again. I just can't, so for the sake of my mate and pup, I will make peace, until we figure this out. But, until we have unimpeachable confirmation, I do not want her to seal their alleged bond. I would prefer it if she didn't touch him ever again. I do know though that if she said she felt it, she was being honest, and did feel it. I know that she hated him for what he did to her. She wouldn't lie about that, but this is a terrible situation. I just can't handle this right now. She is my mate, and I want her, but if he has a bond too, he wants her as well. I will have to see how this plays out.

I will have to get with the elders tonight to see if they have found anything on it. I remember the name the councilman mentioned. I have heard of King Lycaon before. Not all of the rumors were good ones about him, but they had all noted him as very smart, and very strong. He wanted to make his children some of the strongest around and made great efforts in attempting to create impeccable genetics for his bloodline to continue to improve throughout the years. His descendants were very strong with several different lines. He had created a line of Zeta and Sigma wolves, and clearly, Justin's father is still a highly capable Beta. I see Justin is just as strong as his father is, but I just didn't know why he has to be Raven's mate anymore. I don't like the feelings I am getting over this. I am fearful that she will leave me, and reject me, because of what I said to her when I thought that she had cheated. I said some pretty bad things to her when I was so upset, I lift her hand up to kiss the back of it. I don't want to lose my mate. I need her to know that I love her, and I want her.

Things have now settled down a great deal in the room, and I am seeing that the bulk of the anger and frustration had been coming from me. Alpha Cole had the extra people head out of the office now as we were going to do the video now. There were 6 of us total left inside the office. It was Alpha Cole, Raven, Justin, and I in front of the camera. Beta Timothy filming us, and Justin's dad Randolph, who was here probably just to keep his eye on me. I don't blame him, I put Justin into the wall pretty hard. I intentionally used a lot of strength when I did it, as I was trying to hurt him, and the wall was going to need some work done to repair it.

The video was going to be done in a few parts and then edited into what was going to be sent out. So we just sat there in the background, and we each held one of Raven's hands, while Alpha Cole spoke into the camera, and gave Graham the cold hard truth. That he was already surrounded, and that Reagan's actions in the video yesterday got the council to approve war between Blood Walker, and Silver Blade. Alpha Cole also announced in the video that he will be taking over the Silver Blade packland himself. With every sentence he spoke, he made it clear to tell whoever hurt Raven at Silver Blade, it would be in their best interest to leave the pack if they survived the war. He made absolutely sure that he covered the part about whoever had shared the original video of "Raven and Justin" needed to share this one too. I am sure they will, what he was saying was shocking, and he was very clear about what was about to happen.

We took a break, and Raven stood up, she needed to go to the bathroom, and we both wanted to go went with her. She stopped and said, "I am OK to go by myself. I am safe here. This pack knows the truth." Raven then exited the room. I knew that was a dig at me and my pack, and I swear if she gives me another chance I will make sure that I always listen to her first. I will never allow anything else to make me think badly about my mate. I can feel the disappointment and hurt, that she is feeling. The anger is not there anymore. I think that she understands after seeing the video that I really did think it was her. But she was right, if we had talked it out, we could have cleared it up right then. My pack does think badly of her now, and I know I need to fix it, right now. I mindlink Truett and told him to have his father, and my father hold a town hall meeting as soon as they can today. I need them to announce to the pack the clarification of who was in the video. I also need them to tell the pack that we will be involved in a war with Silver Blade because Reagan tried to set up Raven with the video. I also want them to share the second video like they did the first one, in just the werewolf community. Some may already know that we are going to war, as I have warriors heading this way to help. But the whole pack would not be aware of it yet, just the warriors. I let him go so I can link the elders to see what they have found. It has been 5 hours, they should have found something by now.

"We found two instances of this noted in our history, but there were more than that. I reached out to a friend who is one of the senior elders that the council works with. He said that they are already working on it, but that there were several more cases that were not noted in their archives. This has happened about 4 times total, and if that is what is going on with you and your mate, you will be the 5th couple total, the third documented couple. He would not give me the full results, he said that it was the council's business and they were only allowed to give the results to the council. That is a very small amount of mates that this has happened to, especially since the beginning of our time. It is rare for unrelated males to be bound to the same mate" the elder told me. I don't understand it, and I asked him to look into the why behind it. I would want to know why, if it were me, I think he understood and he said that he would have someone look into that aspect of it for me. He then said that the council had just been given the requested information. He said that he would look into the why of it for us, and get back to me with the results the elder had told me before dropping the call. There has to be something major factor in it.

Sure enough, about three minutes later Alpha Cole entered the room with council member Emerson. I already basically know what they will be saying, and it is not going to be good news for me. I watch as Justin and Raven enter the room behind them, hand in hand. I swear he can't keep his hands off of her. I have to calm myself down, I am going to have to accept that this is what the Goddess wants. It hits me what Axe said earlier. All three of our wolves are OK with it. He is right, it is just our human sides fighting about this, and our male egos are causing the bulk of the problem. I need to ask Raven, as she is at the center of this. I know that Emerald is a strong wolf. We need to ask her if she knows any more about this than we know at this time. As soon as we sat back down in our chairs, I went ahead and asked her.

"Raven, does Emerald know why we are all bound together? It seems like our wolves are all fine with it. They seem to know more than we do about it in fact. Is there a reason, or any information that Emerald can give us?" I asked her and she was silent for about 5 minutes while speaking to her wolf. I see her eyes clear up and she looks stunned. I noticed that everyone in the room had been watching her and were waiting to hear the results of what she was about to say. When she finally spoke she was hesitant to say it, but I already knew after Axe said that the wolves were OK with it, that we three were already bound together in this, whatever this is.

"She said that we are a strong wolf, with special gifts. That I had been created and blessed by the Goddess herself to have two simultaneous mates. She said that once I am marked by my second true mate, then I will be able to see the same visions as she does now. She also said that I am not a healer, but I will heal at a much quicker rate and that my hearing, strength, and speed will increase. She said that will also happen to my two mates, as well. She said that a war is coming, not one with Silver Blade, but a much more serious one in about two decades. The children that we bear will have a substantial impact on the upcoming war. Emerald said that our pups would also carry on the strong traits I just mentioned that we would be receiving. That each one of them would be given a special gift in addition to the other benefits. She said that the Goddess blessed this union as it was not only our pup that we are carrying now involved in this but several of them. She also mentioned that forces against us will know who we are already and that it will take you both to keep me, and our pups safe" Raven told the silent room.

That was very intense, what she just said, I got chills hearing it. That was an incredible prediction to be told. I want to know more, about who we need to be watching out for. I can tell that she is going to have to allow Justin to mark her. Clearly, as she mentioned multiple children, Justin will be the father of some of them too. I can see where Raven will need to be protected now, and this makes even more sense to me now. How he is always wanting to be with her. I will still have to run the pack. There will need to be a great deal of planning to be done, and reinforcements to our pack to be made. But I can tell that this was intended, I would never be able to run the pack worried for Raven and her safety all the time. This way Justin can be with her and protect her while she does her duties. When she does need to leave the pack, we can all go together with a team to protect her, and the pups. Obviously, the Goddess had put great thought into this. I am proud to be one of the ones chosen to protect her. I just don't know how I will be able to control my jealousy over this whole thing.

"Did she mention who the danger will be coming from, or any names? I just want to keep you safe while we prepare for this war that is coming. I completely believe what Emerald said, and I am proud that she picked me to be one of your chosen mates" I told her and leaned over to give her a kiss. This makes me feel a little better about the whole thing. I believe that it will help me be able to accept that she is to be with us both. A lot of the confusion is lifting now that Emerald had told us this. I wish I hadn't had to ask her, I wish that she had told us, this could have prevented some of the conflicts that we had this morning.

"No, she said that we would be given visions ahead of time, but that their plan has already been put into action. All I know is that it will be at least two strong packs that are coming and that it will be an intense battle. But she didn't have the names, she said that the Goddess will reveal it all to us at the right time" Raven told us.

I can see the serious faces of Alpha Cole, Beta Timothy, and council Member Emerson and I have to say that I am in a state of disbelief too. Not that I don't believe Raven, and Emerald, I absolutely do. They will be absolutely prepared for this battle in terms of money, weapons, and training themselves in twenty years' time. I feel bad for our children having this heavy burden already on their shoulders from birth. All we can do is train them as best as we can, from a young age, and prepare them for what is coming. I see that Justin is also visibly upset about hearing this. I wonder if he is just as concerned for his pup's future as I am, and I am sure that he has to be. I guess that the mix of both of our descendants is what will be needed to defeat the enemy. Justin is clearly strong, and I am wondering what kind of talents he has other than his ability to piss me off. I can see he is a protector, that he stays calm, a lot calmer than me. He may have tactical training that may come in handy. I guess I now have a new Delta for Black Adder, as he clearly has to come back with us to the pack.

I will have to start keeping a better eye on stronger packs and increase our land. I am already making some serious plans. I have to protect my mate and our children. I guess it will have to be all "our" children in this situation, as we will all need to make sure that nothing happens to any of them. This was a pretty big bomb dropped, but I can say that with what Emerald just told us, I am much more accepting of Justin at this time. We will just have to figure it out together.
