Filed To Story: Raven Sullivan the Unvalued Daughter
I agree with that too, we need as many strong fighters as we can get. Our pack needs to step up and train, we have to be able to protect ourselves, and soon. We have been lax, and now we need to get in gear if we are to survive. What was the point in all of this if the pack gets wiped out before I can even take it over? I would be so pissed off if that happened. Raven gets to be a Luna, how unfair would it be if I didn’t? I was raised my whole life to run this pack. I am so close to grabbing that rung, only for it to be snatched away from me. I feel like I could cry. I have wanted this, and only this, for the last 8 years. I was born to be the Luna of Silver Blade, and I will let nothing, and no one, take it from me. I have come way too far now to just give up. Whatever needs to be done to make sure that Justin and I get the pack from my parents, that is what I will do.
“Whatever it takes to get us out of this mess dad, I will do. I doubt that they will make us give up our pack. I think that we just need to train our members, and focus on the business end of this to build up our funds. I honestly believe that they will just be fining us, and not allow war. War is not in anyone’s best interest. I think that as long as we build up our money, then we will be able to handle anything that comes our way” I told him. I can hear him chuckling from his cell.
“Dad, what is so funny over there? Why are you laughing?” I asked him. Worried for his sanity now, as this was not a laughing matter.
“You are, Reagan. It really isn’t funny, but you are now so into “fixing this” when you caused it. You don’t take instruction, and you do what you want to do. I don’t know how long the pack can survive after you and Justin take over. I told you to stop, and we are in this all because of your actions. You HAD to have Justin. You HAD to sneak out to have risky sex in the forest. Which ended up tipping your hand and letting Raven know that not only did she have a mate, but that you were stealing her mate. You telling me that Justin had rejected her when he hadn’t. Which resulted in my being threatened with death, was on you too. You assured me he had, even knowing who her dad was and that their bond still being in place could kill her. Now you pull something else. Cole is right, you are a real piece of work. You care about yourself, and what you can get, that is it. Justin was a means to an end for you. A way to get the spot you wanted, but most of all, a way to hurt your sister. You need to focus on keeping your spot and the pack now. You have got to leave Raven alone, or we will be destroyed” my dad tells me. I cannot stop my laughter from escaping.
“Why dad, give me one good reason why. She is weak, and yes she is getting back at us right now, but this is only because she is new to them. Her family will calm down soon. Her mate will too. A penny is only shiny for a little while dad. Soon life will be back to where it was for her, and she will be treated like the mistake she is. I will not cower away from her. There is nothing about her that impresses me, and soon others will figure that out as well. Stop worrying, everything will be fine” I told him, still chuckling at him being intimidated by Raven. That is hilarious, dad must be losing it.
“Everything is not fine, you spoiled brat. Are you hearing what I am telling you? Brandon is tearing up our treaty, he will no longer be our ally. He refuses to continue on with it, as he is now aware of some of what she went through. When he goes, so do about 60%to 65% of our allies with him. He just told me that he was going to make calls and let them know, that if they are with me, they are against him. He will tear up treaties with anyone who supports us. We will be almost defenseless, and now is not the time for this to happen. The council WILL be ruling against us. We need to all pray for it to be only a fine, but I live in the real world, Reagan. One where your actions have actual consequences, you have no idea how many times I covered for you. How many times I have kept you from being punished for things you really needed to be punished for? I should have let you experience the punishment, I have created the very person who will end up destroying our pack. Please, Reagan, for the love of our Silver Blade, do not do anything else to Raven. I don’t think that we can handle the consequences of it” my dad said, and my knees were weak.
Realization set in. Brandon would do that for his mate. Just like I can feel Justin’s emotions, and see some of his memories. I bet Brandon can do that with Raven too. So even if she didn’t tell him what happened, he could see what she went through. I am so screwed, I already know with them being true mates it will be even stronger for them than it is for me and Justin. He may be able to see more and know more, about what happened to her at Silver Blade. I believe dad when he said that Brandon will be tearing up the treaty. He will do exactly what dad said. If that happens we will have very few standing with us in case of attack. The ones left would be weak packs, like ours, who will offer no real help or support for us. We could be wiped out if we get attacked, the very real option of losing our pack is positively frightening.
Where would we go? Where would we be able to live? This is going to affect so many things in our lives. We would no longer live as well as we do. The possibility of us being broke, and homeless is looming over me. I cannot live like that, I didn’t deserve to live like that. I refuse to do it. I have had a very comfortable life, and I can’t just go and lose it all. I won’t do it. I start making mental plans now. Yes, definitely build the business up more. Get the pack in shape because a war is coming. I will train too, even if I am not going to participate in it. Someone has to lead the women and children to the shelter. Yes, I need to build a shelter and stock it with some non-perishable food, and water. I start to make plans in my head now as I am frightened of what is coming. I am their leader and I won’t lose the only home I have ever known. Other packs are hesitant at taking in former Alpha and Luna ranks because sometimes their pack could get taken away from them when they do. I need a notebook, or my phone back, so I can make notes of what needed to be done. I have to make some drastic changes so Raven’s family leaves us alone.
I cannot allow it. I will have to do something about this. I won’t stand by and watch as Silver Blade crashes and burns. I won’t take this lying down. My mind goes into overdrive trying to figure out a way around this. With half the pack members at our pack, then Alpha Cole has at his, we are done for. I am not even taking into account all the people that Brandon has in his pack. I really regret what I did to him now. I am quite sure that he will be furious with me and want to pay me back for it. He will have to suspect me of it, as I gave him the drink. We are going to have to lay low for a while and think of a way out of this. Because if I can’t live in peace and happiness, then neither can Raven.
