Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 77

Raven's

POV

As Brandon and Justin head to the circle and I feel my heart clench. I can feel both of them radiating their power at each other, and their shirts came off. I can feel interest pick up from some of the she-wolves, but thankfully they stay silent. I don't mind people looking at them, I can't stop them, but I will not allow them to hit on either one of them. I see Brandon stretch this time, and then start running in place. Justin does the same thing, as he fought first, and needed to warm his muscles back up. He takes the fighting seriously. Brandon won the last two times. And I think it is a matter of pride for him, to take the win this time. I see them both eyeing each other, as they finish stretching. This fight always makes me nervous for both of them. They are going to go all out, and I can't do anything but worry for them both.

Justin steps into the circle first, and Brandon steps in 20 seconds later. His eyes stay trained on Justin, sizing him up, he knew Justin was staying on his training and had taken a few extra Krav Maga classes since last month. Krew steps up to start the fight and they both circle looking for an opening from the other. Brandon lands the first blow, with a hammer fist punch that Justin almost avoided, but it still landed. I see Justin frown and was not pleased that it happened, and I see him try to shake it off and let it go. He cannot allow himself to get upset, and just lash out. You have to stay cool in the heat of battle, they just started three months ago, and are basically still at the beginner level. But they learn quickly, the trainers have shown them some more advanced moves, and I believe that they will be taking advantage of that in this fight. More and more people are coming to watch the fight, as they are known to be the best here at Black Adder.

Justin twisted and his elbow connected with Brandon's ribs, and I can tell that he may have injured them. I am already mind linking the doctor, to come out and at least check his ribs, there is nothing else that they can do when it is a rib injury. I can see Brandon is favoring his right side now, which will be his disadvantage. Brandon is righthanded and this will affect the power of his punch, and his reach on that side. I have cracked a rib before when I got hurt from the fall off the bridge. It hurts, very badly, even sitting still and breathing hurts. I want to call the fight, but they won't allow that either. It will get finished, one way or another now. I will still have the doctor here to treat one, or both of them, as I know how pissed off Brandon will be over that injury. Justin will get some payback from it, it is just a matter of time.

They are circling again, and I see Justin come in to land a punch Brandon swipes his legs, and brings Justin down. Before Brandon can get down and put him in a choke hold, Justin rolls free and is up again. Brandon's injury is causing him to be slower as he doesn't want to cause any more damage to his ribs than he already has now. They know more moves, and in an effort to not really injure the warriors training in this, they actually both train using dummies to work on. There are some moves used to incapacitate the people you are fighting against. You wouldn't do an eye gouge or an uppercut elbow in this type of fight. We do not need our men and women blinded, or with substantial wounds. If their throat is hurt enough then they could not be able to breathe and could potentially die. So some moves are banned in training. One wrong move and it could be a very serious situation, for both fighters. This monthly fight was to get people interested in taking the advanced training and learning another level of defense. We need to make sure that we get our people trained, to where it is second nature for them to be able to defend themselves.

When fighting in wolf form, that can only be one way. The most dangerous thing that we do is biting, and you can spear them in the side too. But it has been determined that spearing another wolf in the side, although handy if you are in wolf form, can also injure your neck. You are running at a great speed, to stop them, and when you connect there is always a possibility of jamming your neck, hurting your neck, and a possible concussion occurring. Some wolves are very large, and heavy, we have learned that traveling is best in our wolf form, but conserving our energy while fighting to allow our wolves to heal us as we do, is sometimes the best way to go. The only other option is tearing the unprotected underbelly, which can also kill a wolf, but is dangerous as you are put in a bad spot to get it done. Brandon, and Justin, have really been working on bringing our pack forward. They have been meeting with my dad, Beta Timothy, Joshua, and my brothers, to come up with ways to get the numbers down, losing the minimal amount of our people. Brandon cares for his pack members, and although we know that there is no way to not lose any, we still want to keep our numbers down for our losses. My father and brother are concerned on their end as well. So we are all working on getting this done. Dad is having training for the weapons on his packland now, and we will have the same trainers come here next month. I hope that I am healed enough and cleared by the doctor to participate in it.

I see Brandon come in again to land another blow, and Justin takes him down with a forward kick. He took Brandon's feet right out from underneath him, and took him down to the ground, before going on top of him to take him into a front choke hold. There are escapes from it, but from how Justin is situated, Brandon would have to use his right arm forcefully, to get out of it, and with his ribs damaged, it was hard for him to do. I see the tap, and Justin gets up and reaches out to have Brandon grab his hand with his left arm and get an assist up. I am very anxious, that was really fast, and I know that Brandon is hurt worse than he is letting on right now. He doesn't like for people to know how hurt he is and his mouth is tight, so I know he is hurting. I rush in to check on him as the doctor gets there to check him out.

Brandon has probably broken or cracked his ribs in the fight. The doctor was going to have to get him to the pack hospital to run an x-ray on him to know how bad the damage was. I can feel my stomach cramp with my worry for Brandon, and I rush to go to the pack hospital with him. I am so worried for him, and Justin grabs both their shirts and follows us to the hospital. Brandon can't put it on right now, but he might need it later on at the hospital. My anxiety rises at the thought of him being hurt like that and I am a little mad at Justin. I know his pride took a blow the last two months, but the baby is about to be here, and he might not even be able to hold him properly with his injury. I looked over at Justin with a glare on my face, but I stopped because he looks just as upset as I am over this. I realized that he probably expected Brandon to step back more to keep it from landing as hard as it did. It was a fight, and these two men, do their best to go all out when they do fight. I feel the pain again, and I put my hands on either side of my stomach, and stop for a minute. I was right next to Justin when I stopped, and he was right there to help me. He called out to the doctor and Brandon who immediately stopped to see what had happened.

I see the concern they both have and Justin picked me up to carry me to the hospital, mindlinking my doctor to come to check on me. He takes me to the nurse's station, and they take me to the Alpha suite. But I want Brandon to be checked out first, in the Alpha suite. This baby isn't coming this second, he isn't actually supposed to be here for another 5 days. I insist on waiting while Brandon gets seen. I am more worried about him than I am about myself. People have babies every day, and from what I had researched about it, they take a minute to get here. Brandon gets taken to get x-rays, and I waited with Justin. The pain is coming like clockwork now, every four minutes. I just focused on my breathing, and Justin held my hand.

Brandon came back and he had good news, his ribs were bruised, but not broken. I was relieved, and thankful. I guess he did manage to step back and keep the blow from doing too much damage. He was given a cold compress to put on it, and we waited for my doctor. I am assuming that these are Braxton Hicks and the doctor will give us the all-clear to leave soon. Brandon insisted on me getting into the bed while I waited and a nurse came after a while to get me to change into a hospital gown to be checked out. Both Brandon and Justin were super excited at the possibility of the baby coming, but I was insistent on us leaving as soon as I got cleared to do so. I see my doctor come in and she is all smiles at the guys, at how excited they both were. I guess since I was the one in pain, I was much less happy about being here.

"Well Luna, let's get you checked out," she said and went ahead to see how far I was dilated.

"5 centimeters, you are halfway there. Did your water break? Is that why you came to the hospital?" the doctor asked.

"No, the ranked sparring match just happened. I guess seeing them fighting together, and Brandon getting hurt. I guess I didn't notice the pain. But my water hasn't broken yet" I told her. She grinned at me and said, "You are well on your way. When did you start feeling the contractions?" "Last night before bed," I told her and both men snapped their heads to me. They were surprised, I hadn't mentioned it to either of them.

"Why didn't you say something? We could have skipped the ranked competition and just come here to get you checked out" Brandon said, with worry written all over his face.

"I didn't realize that was what it was, I thought it was the false ones. We still had five days left. Plus we were right next to the hospital, just in case. But I didn't honestly think that my labor had started, I wasn't hurting that badly. So I really wasn't worried about it yet" I told them. I can see the excitement building on their faces as they realize that today will be the day that the baby comes. The doctor ended up having to break my water, and I progressed quickly. The doctor kept commenting to me that she thought that I had a high pain threshold as I didn't get any pain medicine. I think it is more the Goddess taking care of me yet again, in this.

The guys were so sweet, and Brandon called his parents to let them know that I was in labor. Justin called my parents to tell them that the baby was coming. They were excited as well and my family started packing up a small bag to head this way. the Beta couple wanted to come, but Beta Timothy and Amanda were in charge of the pack, for the few days that my parents were here. plus, Stella will be giving birth soon, and they will be here themselves, probably by next week. I was progressing quickly and we were at 7 centimeters before we knew it. "It won't be long now, Raven is really dilating quickly and we should have a baby boy here soon. Probably in the next few hours" my doctor told them. I can see that Brandon was in pain, and I wished that I could fix it for him, he was going to hurt sitting or standing with the bruised ribs, but at least nothing was broken. That would take a lot longer to heal.

They were on either side of my bed, and with each contraction, they help support me as I felt them. I know that this is supposed to be worse than what I am actually experiencing. All the nurses are telling me that the Goddess is helping me with this first labor. I was so glad to have both men here with me. I needed them. Justin only let my hand go when I wasn't dealing with a contraction and that was only to give me ice chips when I needed them. He was ready to go for active labor, as he already had a washcloth to wipe my forehead with a cool rag to help me, as he had really been studying what happens during birth on his free nights. He was really prepared and had even packed my bag for me too. Neither of them would leave me unless my dad, brother's, or Brandon's dad were here in the room to protect me and the baby. I already knew that we were their first priority.

I was glad to have them here when the active labor started, clearly, the Goddess was with me as I pushed. I didn't have any problems with the delivery, and I am assuming that she did it for a reason, as she knew we have a timeline here. We knew we had a minute, but getting the kids and the pack ready was not going to be a small feat. There was going to be a LOT of training, and I had a feeling that I was going to be getting pregnant again, probably as soon as I got cleared to be with my mates again. You can't stop what a higher power has intended for you. You can try to run from it like I did Justin. But if it is meant to be, you won't have a choice about it. Even at just three months now, I cannot see my life without Justin in it. He is powerful and strong with others. But with me, he is doting and loving. I cannot imagine my life without Brandon either. He runs the pack with a much tighter grip now, after the incident with Justin. Brandon puts down his guard with me and his family. But he loves me endlessly too.

"Stop and don't push until I tell you to" I heard my doctor tell me.

I waited and a short time later she encouraged me with a, "One more push, and he will be here." I was so happy and I can hear Emerald in my mind telling me what I good job I am doing. She cannot wait to see her baby either. I felt a squeeze on each of my hands, as they guys were excited to see our baby too. Brandon was just beaming as he leaned forward to watch his son enter the world. His pride was visible on his face as the baby was born. I can see the love in his eyes as the doctor holds the baby. I see his tears as our baby cries out, announcing his arrival. I looked up at Justin and he is just as impressed as Brandon is with our baby, with his eyes focused firmly on the baby.

I watched as Brandon cut the umbilical cord, even though using his right hand hurt him. We started a new tradition with this pregnancy, each man got to pick a name for the baby. We won't be knowing who the baby belongs to at birth, so each of the men picked several names. They knew that we would be having quite a few children, and were ahead of the game. We went through them and pieces them together and I had approved of half of them already. The names were all meaningful to us. I watched as both men watched as the baby was placed on my chest. I felt the tears on my face as I gazed at my son. I loved him so much already, I couldn't believe the amount of love you can have. It seemed like my heart was about to burst with happiness, and he was perfect. My baby boy. He had my black hair, but he looked just like Brandon. I stroked his cheek lightly with my fingertip, amazed at the life we had created. I wonder if he was going to have Brandon's eyes or mine, and we got the answer pretty quickly. I stared into my own eyes and got overwhelmed again by the love I have for this baby. I looked up at Brandon, who was gazing at me with pride, as I held our son.

I was glad that Justin was just as enamored with the pup as we were. This was a good sign, and I feel like it made our bond even stronger between us. I know that he cannot wait to have one of his own, and I am quite sure after a month off, the doctor will give me the all-clear to have s*x again. I am hoping that we will get to stay together for the next month. I slept very well in between them, and I will miss that the most. I am hoping that while I am off limits for at least the next month that we can continue with the sleeping arraignment that we have going so far. I know that I would be happiest with it, I guess I will have to speak to the guys to see what they think.
