Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter
Betrayed from Birth – Alpha’s Unvalued Daughter Chapter 94

Reagan's POV

I wake up in a cold sweat, and I can feel the baby moving around a lot right now. He must be able to feel my stress from the nightmare. My heart is racing, and I know that I woke up to keep from remembering the rest of what happened that fateful day. Clive lay next to me, with his even breathing letting me know that he is still asleep. His arm is still across me, as he tries to protect me, even in my sleep. I went and got myself a glass of water, and used the bathroom before heading back to bed. Sleep did not come very quickly for me. I fought against it for a long time. I already knew that the rest of the dream was coming, and I just didn't want to deal with it right now. It took me an hour to fall asleep again, and sure enough, the rest of the nightmare came back to play out in front of my Flashback to 5 years ago

eyes.

Clive stayed with me for the rest of the day after the incident with Michael. We had lunch, and then went out to work in the garden. I worked my anger out at what Michael attempted to do to me, by pulling the weeds up aggressively. I have learned a lot this week. Clive knows a lot of information, about numerous subjects. I also found out that Michael didn't like me because his best friends were Garrett and Marc back at Black Moon. He listened to them like their word was gospel when they spoke about me. They had never given me even the slightest chance there at Black Moon. Did I mess up, hell yes I did. But I swear to the Goddess if I had even had an inkling of what would happen with my drugging Blake to let his guard down was going to cost me. I would have never done it. I would have kept my head down, and just kept working on Travis. He liked me, I just wanted some security. A safety net by doing it, so I could have some pull at the pack too. I will tell you now that other than not killing Raven when I had the chance, it was the biggest mistake of my life.

Clive and I went back to our room and took a shower together. It was nice, and his affection for me grows with each passing day. I could see myself happy with him for the rest of my life. He cares about me, and he shows it. I realize that I didn't deserve it, but I am so thankful for it. We head downstairs for dinner and we dressed up tonight for it, kind of like a date. I had worn a button-down satin shirt in baby blue, and a black pencil skirt that stopped a few inches above my knees. Everything but my legs was completely covered tonight, and I felt classy and beautiful right now on Clive's arm.

I paused when we entered the dining room because I see that Tabitha was sitting with Jennifer at the end of the table. They saw me the moment I entered the room too. Michael's eyes were on me, and they skimmed over my body more than once. Showing me with his expression that he remembered what I looked like naked, and my stomach turned at the thought of it. Too bad for him, that was a one-time thing, and he no longer gets the pleasure of my company.

Aaron stands and pulls my chair out for me. I will be sitting at his left, with Clive right next to me. Darren and Judy are across the table from us, with Darren at Aaron's right hand, and Judy directly across from Clive. Michael is thankfully sitting next to Clive, so I feel safer than I would with him across the table and looking at me. Clive is very attentive to me and he started to make me a plate from the food at the table. He knew what I wanted without me having to ask for it, and I was impressed. I have only been here a week, so he has been paying attention to what I liked and didn't like to eat this whole time. I see one of the Omegas come out with a salad for me too, and I knew that he had set that up as well.

"You are spoiling her. This is supposed to be a punishment here, one I will remind you that she earned" Michael said to Clive.

"Do I tell you what to do about your girlfriend? You can just pay attention to her, and not Reagan. You have lost your chance with her, especially after the stunt you pulled this afternoon. Jennifer may believe your lies, but I don't. We all do, well, except for Jennifer and Tabitha. They still believe your lies, but I think it is more because they want to believe bad about Reagan, than actually believing you, Michael" Clive told him, and I can feel the mood change at the table.

"Wait, let me guess, she is a pure delicate flower? Right, Clive? Or let me guess she was set up and doesn't deserve the punishment that she has received from Black Moon? She basically r***d Blake. She should have been put to death. I don't feel sorry for her at all. If the other punishment was death, then only an i***t would think that the other option would be a good one. You don't get a trip to Disneyland as a punishment. She earned what she is getting, she deserved it, I wish she had decided to be a good person and accept the consequences of what she has done. She has gotten away with murder, and you know as well as we do, that everyone here has seen the show she put on, to set her own sister up. What won't she do to get ahead? She is disgusting, and I cannot believe that you guys are all thinking she hung the moon. She didn't, she thinks way too highly of herself, and someone really needs to take her down a peg or two. Hard to feel sorry for her, when she only has herself to blame" Tabitha announced to the table, and she didn't lower her voice.

It was embarrassing as what she said was true. But I never came here to take anyone's boyfriend away from them. I had nothing to do with that. That was between Aaron and her, not me. Just like she just freely admitted, I am being punished. What happened to me when I got here, was not a pleasant experience, I didn't consent to it, I was forced to do it. But I cannot open my mouth to say it. It will not help anything, it will only cause extra problems. It will insult Aaron and Clive, and I cannot lose Clive or his support for me, I just can't take the risk. This is my life now, and I cannot afford to insult and argue with others like I used to.

"You just said yourself that she is being punished. She IS being punished, especially with what Michael did to her. That is why he lost his privilege. She didn't choose this punishment, but I for one am very happy just thinking about the beautiful and strong pups that this Goddess is going to give me. I think that all your underhanded, and manipulative actions just came back and bit you in the a*s Tabitha. You are the reason that you are not with Aaron anymore. Reagan will not be Luna, and she didn't do anything to you personally. She doesn't have any blame assigned to her in this, you are just pissed off at losing the lunch ticket that you thought you had. You were never going to be Luna. Everyone here at the table knew that too, including Michael. Aaron is waiting for his mate. When he finds her, then we will have our Luna, but be serious. It was never going to be you. Don't act like you didn't know that. I have heard Aaron tell you 100 times that you are just there for when he needs a release. You were never, ever, going to be Luna here" Clive told Tabitha and her gasp of surprise at him telling her that seemed genuine.

She was honestly shocked. She either got it in her head herself that she would be Luna, or Aaron had implied it at one time or another. Even if he had done it in jest, she would still think that she had a chance to become the next Luna. I glanced over at Aaron, but his face doesn't have any guilt on it at all. He is looking at her like he expects an answer as to why she would have even thought about her becoming the next Luna.

"But you chose me, Aaron, you chose me to be your girlfriend. The next logical step was for me to become your Luna. That is how it works. Your own cousin took a chosen she-wolf as his mate. They are happy, Blake loves her. Why would you choose me to be your girlfriend, and lead me on, if you never had any intention of allowing me to become the Luna?" I can hear the pain in her voice as she speaks. I would feel sorry for her, but she assumed things that she was never promised. Aaron mentioned from day one how much he was looking forward to finding his mate. I know she has feelings for him, but it seems like she would rather be Luna, to get respect from the pack, not for her love for Aaron.

"Wait a minute Tabitha. I never promised you that you would be Luna. You are well aware that I was, and still am, looking for my mate. We are compatible for hookups, but you are not a nurturer. You don't care for the betterment of the pack, you only care about rank. You have been going around for the last year bragging about becoming the Luna. I heard about it, I just didn't stop you as you had never mentioned it to me. I was fine back then with how things were, but don't act like the victim here. You were fully aware that my goal has been, and always will be to find my true mate" Aaron told Tabitha. She is furious and since she can't attack Aaron with her words, she comes straight for me.

"We were just fine until she got her and put her hooks into you. She doesn't deserve to carry your pup. It should be me. I have been here. I am the one who truly cares for you. For Goddess's sake, she has only known you a week. She was all over you from the start. She cannot be trusted, did you learn nothing from what Blake said to you? He warned you not to trust her at all. Michael told us what all happened. She doesn't deserve to live, let alone provide pups for you, and the ranked wolves. That is a good thing to do, you are all attractive, so why would that be a punishment?" Tabitha asked.

Blake clearly wanted me to suffer the humiliation of what my new role was. To have no one to protect me from these four men. I would be willing to bet that Blake even got Garrett and Marc to tell Michael to give me a hard time about it. I would bet money I don't have on that being the truth. Michael's need to punish me almost overweighs his desire for me. This is ramping up to come to a bad situation, and I unconsciously moved closer to Clive for protection. It did not go unnoticed, by the whole table. Michael got even madder, and Aaron's lips narrowed at me giving the nod to Clive for my protection. But if anyone here in this pack was going to fight for me, it will be Clive. He showed that earlier today, he got hurt trying to protect me. Tabitha has no idea that I would trade places with her in a second. She can do this and become the breeder herself. The fact is that my choice has been taken away. I basically have no rights. No control over what happens to my own body and that in itself is a living nightmare. It has gotten better this week. It is not one after the other now. They have calmed down and it is usually one a night, minus Michael. I will never voluntarily sleep with him again. He has been a creeper from the first day. If Tabitha wants to do it, I say let her. But I kept my mouth shut. I know that the guys do not want her at all, or they would have tried to get with her. It is me that they are after, not her. From the way it sounded, if Aaron made her Luna, she would have no problem at all being willing to help populate the pack. "There is no need for you to hate on Reagan, she didn't get her hooks in me. You already know that she will not be made Luna either. Although I have to say that she would be far more qualified for the position than you are, as an Alpha-born she-wolf. She didn't sign up for this. I saw her face when he told her what was going to happen, she didn't know, and neither did her family. That was the punishment that Blake and Cheryl decided on. She is here simply to create a stronger pack for us, and help make Blood Tracker prosper. She has connections that will be able to help us increase our land, and allow us to be able to accept more people into our pack. You know what my goal is Tabitha, and she can help us attain it" Aaron told everyone at the table. Instead of hearing what he had said to her, she just focuses her angry gaze on me.

"You all need to leave Reagan alone. I have promised her father that I would protect her, and I will. You are getting mad for something that you knew was coming, Tabitha. I have told you several times that the second I find my mate, we were done. You were the one who insisted that it was Reagan, or you, in my office that day. You made me make the choice, even after I explained it all clearly to you. I paid for her to be here. I know that you can feel her strength. You know that she is Alpha born. You have nothing to be mad at her about. You could have accepted it, the fact that I was going to be with you, and have her carry my pups but instead, you wanted to do a power play. That is all on you, it was your choice to put out the ultimatum, and it was my choice to accept it. Your forcing the issue broke us up, not me, and not Reagan. No matter how you try to change what happened between us, your unwillingness to listen to reason is the reason we are no longer together. I would have accepted our relationship until I found my mate. But we are done now. The way you have acted this whole week makes me wonder if I ever knew you at all. I guess you were playing fake this whole time to get me to take you as my chosen mate" Aaron told Tabitha.

"But I love you, Aaron. I would do anything for you" Tabitha said in a low tone. I guess she didn't want the whole room to hear her this time.

"You do not love me, Tabitha, no you don't. I have caught you in numerous lies, and situations throughout the years. You don't do things like that if you really loved someone. Plus, if you were really willing to do anything to be with me, you wouldn't have had this showdown over Reagan. You would be running all over the pack trying to get everyone against her. You wouldn't have done half the things you have if you did love me. We are done now, and Reagan will make handsome pups for all of us ranked wolves. Our children will be strong, and fierce fighters. That is what we need to have here, strong-ranked wolves to take this pack higher than I could have even imagined. I will not discuss this again. This is the third and last time that I want to hear you bring this up. As much as you want to pin our breakup on Reagan, it isn't her fault. It is yours, and only yours. You and Jennifer need to settle down and leave her alone. This is your last warning. There will be a harsh punishment dealt out to you for another infraction by either of you. I have been more than lenient with you both, but that is over right now. Either you stop, or I will stop you" Aaron told them and his tone was cold and scary. I was scared, and he wasn't even speaking to me.

Her anger is palpable and so is her friend Jennifer's. Her righteous indignation at her friend being slighted by the Alpha is apparently on me too. Their stares are full of malice, and I am glad that Clive stays with me in my room, and that Aaron is close by. These girls are blaming me for things that are completely out of my control, and they didn't care that Aaron told them to stop. My dad was willing to help because he wants me to be kept safe. That was the deal, my safety gets Aaron the pack that he had always dreamed of. It was a win/win for both of us. Dad is wanting me to be as taken care of as I can be in this situation. As Aaron refused to allow him and mom to come here and build on his packlands. Blake wants all the benefits of having my dad and his money available to him. I am quite sure that he knew dad was going to be very serious about trying to protect me here, and Aaron didn't want the headache of that. They are less than 30 minutes away from here. They are allowed to come here after the three-month mark. Blake was the one to impose the time frame on them. He knew it was going to take a little while for them to get me pregnant, and that was what he wanted, me already pregnant when they can finally come to visit.

I stopped eating because I could not swallow my food anymore. My throat was tight and I knew that this was not the end of them and their bullshit. They were going to come at me again, and when they started whispering to each other, I knew it was going to be bad. I knew they were up to something, I just didn't know what it was going to be, but I plan on sticking to Clive like there was no tomorrow from now on. I didn't care how stupid I looked doing it, I was going to make sure that I trained hard, even at my novice stage. I will either stay with either Clive or Aaron to keep me safe until I was able to protect myself because I know for a fact that neither of them was going to leave me alone after tonight.
