“I, I thought that after Raven woke from her fall that Justin was going to reject her. That is what Reagan told me. Reagan never told me that they hadn’t rejected each other. I thought that he just needed a little push. This is all your fault for calling the Council on us, Cole. I had to move forward with their pairing. It is too late. Justin will be marking Reagan any second if he hasn’t already. There is nothing that we can do to stop it”

I told them, and Randolph took off towards the packhouse.

Cole is shaking in anger, and the men with him are just as angry. I motioned for the gate guards to come back to us and then mindlinked in more warriors, as Cole looks like he is ready to kill all of us standing here at the gate. I can see his Beta mindlinking and then looking over at Cole. Whatever he said got the four men heading back to the SUV to load up. Cole stops and comes back to the gate. Anger is coming out of every pore, but he spoke in a low tone and said,

“We will be here at 1030 tomorrow morning if my daughter ever wakes back up. Have Justin at this gate, so they can formally reject each other, or I swear to you that tomorrow morning I will slaughter the whole Sullivan family. I will see you in the morning, Graham, oh, and don’t try to run away, I already have warriors stationed in place to stop anyone from leaving your pack until we arrive in the morning. Like I said before Graham if your actions hurt or kill my daughter, I will make good on what I told you. But I wanted to tell you this, if my daughter dies, yours will too. In just a painful way as mine did. See you in the morning, Graham, you should have thought this out better because your bad choices may end up costing you your life.”

I stepped back away from the gate and walked stiffly back to my vehicle. I got in and left the area immediately. I have never been so scared in all of my life, not even when I found out that I had stolen Cole’s true mate out from under him. We don’t speak as we park in front of our packhouse. We see Justin coming down the stairwell with his dad assisting him, as soon as we enter the foyer. I see a fresh mark on his shoulder and see Reagan at the top of the stairs in her robe watching Justin leave. She moves the neckline of the robe slightly to show me the mark and her bright smile is clear for everyone to see. She is blissfully happy now, but she seems confused as to why I am not smiling and happy with her. I motion to my office with a jerk of my head and head in there first. I am shaking in fury, and Cassandra is furious as well.

“Why didn’t she tell us that they were still bound, Cassandra? Is she trying to start a war? I thought she wanted to take over this pack this pack. There will be no pack left if they come for us. Cole is pissed, they will kill everyone, and burn the place to the ground. We got a pass before, but Cole is out for blood now.”

I tell Cassandra as we wait for our daughter to come into the office.

“I don’t know Graham, she told us both in the link last night that as soon as Raven awoke, that Justin was going to reject her. She never mentioned to me that he didn’t. She is smarter than that. She may have been trying to kill Raven by having Justin mark her while they are still bound”

Cassandra said, and I turn slowly towards her as I realized that I got played, by my own daughter.

Fury rises up in me and when Reagan finally opens the door to step in, I sat down against the front of my desk with my arms crossed across my chest, to ask her some questions. I make sure to control my breathing and my tone. If I tip my hand she won’t answer truthfully.

“So you are marked now? Everything went fine?”

I asked her as if that was the most important thing now. I saw both of their marks. I already knew the answer. If Reagan was smarter, she would have realized that I already knew the answers to these easy questions.

“Yes very smooth, his wolf didn’t balk at all, in fact, he seemed to think that I was Raven at the time. I had one of her dirty t-shirts from her room on my pillow, so her scent was there, just to push him to mark me. Justin wolf was glad to mark me”

Reagan smiled again and stood up to admire her new mark in the mirror on the far wall.

“You thought of everything didn’t you Reagan? You even had me force Justin’s hand when you knew he wasn’t going to come back”

I told her, and she turned around pouting at me.

“If I didn’t daddy, he wouldn’t have come back. This was your plan, wasn’t it? Why wouldn’t you help me?”

Reagan asks me like she was just an innocent young girl, that hadn’t done anything wrong. She is indeed my daughter, that is pretty manipulative, and I was impressed. Calling me daddy to invoke protective feelings for her, was advanced, but my life was on the line now, and I was pissed off.
