Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 58

Raven's

POV

It is still tense in here, but it is a different kind of tense now. It is no longer about the three of us anymore. It is about an upcoming war that none of us knew anything at all about. The Goddess is clearly on our side of the fight, as she was the one to give Justin and me our bond back. That was unheard of just by itself, as well as having two unrelated mates. It was known that multiples could have one mate, but for the males to be unrelated was virtually unheard of. I already know that the pack is going to go wild hearing it and that we would probably be talked about, and not in a good way. I don't know why I didn't think to ask Emerald about this last night, I guess with everything that happened yesterday, I never thought to do it. I was just worried about my pup, and if they were OK. I am glad that Brandon asked me to reach out to her, but she knew the answer, why didn't she just mention it earlier? She knew the kind of stress we were all under about this whole situation. Why didn't she volunteer it to me, along with some of her snarky comments? It made perfect sense now, the reason why Justin could sense me, even before the bond was accepted. How he never got over me and prayed for the Goddess to give him another chance. I think that he knows he messed up, and I think that he will be so thankful to get another shot, that he will never betray me again. Justin and Brandon both have a tight grip on my hands and they are both seriously deep in thought. I already know that Brandon is completely thinking about increasing training and security at his pack. This means Justin is definitely coming back with us, to Black Adder, and now I need to think about the marking. I guess I need to have another little talk with Emerald again. How is this marking thing going to go?

"Justin will mark you on the other side of your neck. You will bear both of their marks. When Justin marks you and completes the mating, you will immediately receive your gifts, your mates will too. The Goddess is ready to give them to you as soon as you are ready to accept Justin and allow the bonding to be completed" Emerald mindlinks me.

"OK, good to know. I will relay that to Brandon, and Justin tonight. Will his marking me hurt the baby I am carrying, Emerald?" I linked her back, I know she loves the baby too, but it isn't like she is just giving out pertinent information. I just needed to know to make

sure.

"The Goddess protected you both last night. She was also the reason that Justin was able to sense you to find you in time. She took care of you because you are valuable to her, and so is your pup. She needs you, and them, to defeat these vile packs. They want to overturn the council and go back to the old hierarchy. They want Omegas to be servants, and breeders, again. They wanted the ranked wolves to be revered. Their end goal is to try to rule over all the other supernaturals. Eventually killing all the other supernatural's off, leaving only werewolves. They cannot be allowed to be successful." Emerald told me in our link. I have to pass this information on as well. We will be needing help when the time comes if that is what their plan is. We will need to work around it. We will need to create alliances with other species to defeat them. I shudder at trying to find witches and vampires that we can trust. Fairies and Demons are rare to be able to trust. Fairies are known tricksters, and it is hard to find a demon that is good or more specifically is willing to trust and work with us. Not saying that they don't exist, they do. Finding one that we can fully trust to help us, is going to be the really hard part.

"We need to finish the video, so we can edit it, and send it out. I wanted to get it out at noon. Most will be on lunch and see the video, and I want it to be shared just as much as the first video. So the question is, now that we know that you are indeed a trio. Brandon, are you OK with Justin going ahead and marking Raven? I know this is hard for you Raven, but clearly, this is bigger than any of us" my dad said.

I know where he is going with this. Justin's mark will disappear from Reagan's shoulder once he marks me as his mate. That will be the first indication that there was a problem for Reagan. She may just assume that it was because Justin had been killed, by Brandon. But dad is right, people make mistakes when they are upset, and she will be really upset seeing the mark on me. I almost wish I could be a fly on the wall to see her face when she sees that I now have my true mate back, and I still have Brandon. I am quite sure that a lot of women will be, with me getting not one, but two, very desirable mates. Plus, it will let Alpha Graham know that we are coming. I predict a very sleepless night for all of them.

"I don't like it, but it is out of my hands at this point Alpha Cole. My pack, my mate, and my children might be killed if we don't do as the Goddess requests. I know that there is no way around it for us. I think that it will show everyone who sees this video that we are a united front and that our union has been blessed by the Goddess herself. If not Raven would not be able to bear both of our marks" Brandon said, and I can tell how upset he is with even saying the words. He is acknowledging to the world that whether he wants Justin to be bonded to me or not, the fact remains that it is out of our hands.

"Raven, are you willing to accept Justin?" my father asked me. I am struggling as I remember like it was yesterday finding out that he had betrayed me with my sister. Seeing him with my sister in the forest, I still carry a lot of pain from it.

"It was yesterday Raven. Remember the video that came out yesterday?" I heard Emerald in my link. I want to growl at her in anger. I swear she thinks that she is a comedienne. I know she is trying to get me to laugh, but this was serious to me. Why is she reminding me of the most recent betrayal? I can tell she thinks that it is a lot funnier than I do, as I don't think it is funny at all. Our wolves are much more accepting of s*x than our human side is, it is a part of life for them.

"It hurt more to discover them together than it was to see it in that video, and you know that, Emerald. I could tell in the video that he really did think that it was me that he was with. I could see the love and affection that he had for me. But hearing what he said to her, that he got the better sister, that still hurts." I linked back to her.

"You know in his heart he loves you. Stop holding his mistake against him. He was tricked, it happens to all of us. Brandon was tricked, and yet you are still perfectly happy being with him. They both have made mistakes. Reagan was at the root of both of them. Let's just get her taken care of, and move forward. Justin will never hurt you again. Lorne has shown me how badly Justin was hurt over losing you. You will feel it too when he marks you, all his pain, his longing for you. You know this has been blessed by the Goddess. There is nothing else we can do about it other than to accept it" Emerald linked me back.

"Raven?" I am brought out of linking with Emerald by Justin's voice full of pain. He is worried that I am going to reject him again. I can hear the fear of losing me in just that one word.

"I am OK with being marked by Justin," I told the room. I heard a collective sigh of relief from several. I felt Brandon's hand tighten on mine. I know that Brandon is really upset by this, and I just hope that we can all get past it, together. Otherwise, this is not going to be a successful venture at all. I know that he is not 100% behind this, but I did feel the tingles. I know that the Goddess was the one to put our bond back together for us. Brandon holds my hand as Justin stands up to get in front of me, and I pulled the strap of my sports bra over so he can get access to where his mark will lay. Brandon holds my hand as Justin allows his canines to elongate as he hovers over me, taking in a deep breath of my scent. I feel his teeth pierce my skin, and the pain is immediately gone and all that is left is the feeling of pleasure. I moaned out loud as Justin retracted his teeth from my skin, and starts to lick my wound. That resulted in another moan slipping out, and Brandon's hand tightening in frustration at my arousal that now can be scented in the room. Justin gives me a smirk as he sits back down in his chair, proud of his artwork that is still red and angry on my shoulder. Taking my hand back in his and giving my hand a little squeeze. The tingles are much stronger now. They are on par with what I feel from Brandon, and I am amazed at the feeling.

I get Brandon to release my hand, and it is clear he doesn't want to because I need to mark Justin now to complete our marking. I close my eyes so I don't have to look into his excited face. He is blissfully happy about this, and I am fighting myself over it. I know it is the greater good here, but every time I close my eyes I see him with my sister. It has become a bitter memory in my head. I guess shutting my eyes was a mistake. I open my eyes and he is not happy anymore, he is sad, as he can feel my emotions now that he has marked me. He knew what I was thinking and I could tell that it greatly upset him. The guilt is pouring off of him, and I having even marked him yet.

That helps me as I take in his scent and Emerald takes over to complete the bond, as she sinks her canines into his shoulder. I instantly feel his feelings, and it overwhelms me. His remorse for what he did to me, and anger at being tricked over and over again by Reagan and Graham. I see each and every step that led him to where we are, and with the exception of his fear over having to fight the whole pack on a daily basis to protect me, he did want me as his mate. I see where he did try to come to get me from Blood Walker the next day. I never knew as I was meeting for the first time with dad. After dad had heard what Justin had done to me, he told them to send him away. I am good with giving him an actual second chance now.

I guess tonight when we, that feels weird saying when we go to bed, we can talk and get a few things straight between us. I need to tell them about how they both messed up, and now we need to reset that to be behind us, and just move on from this day forward. No more arguments over who hurt me worse than the other. Because the true answer was that they had both made some pretty big mistakes as far as I was concerned. From now on what we needed to do is be a united front and show our pack that they are both my Goddess-given, true mates. No matter what the jealous she-wolves thought about it. They were both mine now, and I will not be allowing anyone to slide up on either of them.

"Let them try, they will be in for a big surprise" Emerald linked me.

"Let's finish the video then," my dad said, and we started recording again. It was cute when dad had me stand up to show the proof that I didn't have a mole, they both didn't want to let go of my hands. I rolled down the waistband of my leggings and held my arms up and made two slow turns. I had just rolled my waistband back into place to sit down when they both took an arm to help me back into my chair, with a low growl. That was for the camera, they were letting any men watching the video know that I was taken. I almost laughed at their reaction, but it felt good to be protected by both of them. I can feel the bond already growing with just our sitting here together. The guys now feel that I have affection, and love, for them both. They are both very calm. Brandon spoke and mentioned to the world about us being mates, and that I was pregnant with his pup. He puffed up in pride at announcing it and then told his pack to make sure that they shared the video with the same people they shared the first one with. He is trying to get my reputation cleared for me. He already knows how hard it is going to be back at Black Adder. He was fierce in his defense of me and told everyone watching the absolute truth. That he never felt the pain of betrayal, that he only saw the video, and Reagan looked so much like me, that it broke his heart. That he momentarily believed the video until the lack of pain was pointed out, then the lack of a mole was the second tip-off. He didn't mention that it wasn't him who discovered it, and I was OK with it, just as long as it got everyone to realize that it was not me. He also told that he was participating in the war with Silver Blade and that anyone who stood with them, would automatically be considered an enemy of Black Adder. Justin was much more aggressive in his part of the video. He was furious about Reagan doing this to us. He told the whole story from start to finish. It was shocking to hear, and I knew the story already. He made Reagan and Graham look like the villains that they truly were. I was worried that the video would not be shared like the first one because it was literal p**n. But I saw with all the stunning bombs that Justin was dropping it was going to go viral too. He told everything that had happened to him, and even laid out some things that were not known facts outside of Silver Blade. We all sat in stunned silence as Justin came clean with everything he knew about Alpha Graham and Reagan. He was making sure that no one was going to come to their aid to help such disgusting people when we attacked. I think because it was two big packs already at war with Silver Blade, they wouldn't be stepping in to help them already. Justin was making sure that everyone was made aware of just how vile they really were. Justin made sure to not mention what I had gone through at Silver Blade, I guess he is allowing me to share if I wanted to.

My turn was last, I decided that I was going to mention all that they had done, or allowed the pack to do to me, while I was growing up. I was not going to allow this opportunity to pass, for me to take my power back from them. They had suppressed me for long enough, and it was time that everyone know who the Sullivans really were. I was honest and kept eye contact as I told them what I had dealt with. The emotional and physical abuse, only being allowed to go to school, my room, and meals. I was a prisoner in my own home, and that was a pretty bad crime in itself. Now that I have gotten a good taste of freedom, I know I can not go back and be locked up again. But I needed everyone to know who Reagan was, who she was at her core. So I told the story of what happened on the bridge, how my sister was so power hungry, she was willing to kill me to become Luna. I didn't even know that I was crying until I felt a gentle hand wiping my tears away. It was Justin, and my pain had made him cry too. I forgot he had been heading that way when she did it. He saw the whole thing. I imagine that it is hard for him to hear me mention it now that we are mates. That makes sense to me how the Goddess protected me in that situation as well.

Almost everything that they tried to hide away from all the other packs, and from the council, has been exposed in this video. After me being announced as my father's daughter at the ball, people figured out pretty quickly what exactly had happened, as Graham and Cassandra were chosen mates. It was only a secret in their own pack, or at least their pack members still pretended like they didn't know. I can imagine how mad they are going to be when they saw this let alone when their pack sees this video. They are going to lose their minds, as their reputations were now completely destroyed. That was what he valued most in his life, how things looked to others. They will die knowing that their reputation was in tatters and that they only have themselves to blame for all of it.
