Filed To Story: Betrayed From Birth Novel Free PDF Online
I know that deep down inside me that sometimes I actually hope that my former parents, and I am using that term very loosely, come to the party. I really hope that Reagan has the nerve to actually show up too. I don’t want to see Justin, I am finally in a good place, and I don’t know how I am going to feel about it if he does come. I don’t have anyone I am interested in, and I don’t have a second chance mate yet, so the odds of me being upset at seeing him are greatly increased. I had a crush on him for the last 2 years before I found out he was my mate almost a month ago. Oddly enough, the last 3 and a half weeks have been easier on me. My family’s love and support, the Beta family’s love, and support have gotten me to where I am right now, and I have changed in more than a few ways from the girl I was. I was happier today than I have ever been in my life.
I feel a little guilty as I secretly prayed for Reagan to come here and try to start something. I can’t help myself, and I can’t stop myself from visualizing her giving me a hard time, and then trying to hurt, or shove me. I wanted her to take a shot. I know in my heart that I hope that she does. That she does it in front of a crowd of people, and then I show her that her reign of terror she had me under, no longer applies anymore. That whatever she ends up doing to me, I will repay her two-fold. I feel a little guilty about it, as I know this party is for me, for my parents to introduce me to their friends and allies as their daughter. I don’t want to cause a scene or a mess here in the new place. But I will not allow Reagan to get under my skin again. Never again, I refuse to acknowledge that we share a mother anymore.
As far as I am concerned, I am with my parents. Cassandra was just a vessel for me to get here. She never loved me, she never cared for me, and she never lifted a manicured finger to stop what she saw being done to me on a daily bases. I tried to be the best daughter I could be to them at Silver Blade. I wasn’t disruptive, I obeyed all they told me. I didn’t do anything that would cause a problem even with Reagan, and I had to deal with a lot of crap on her end of it. I kept my head down and tried to make them love me by being the best daughter that I could be. I never realized that they were incapable of doing that, and all because of mistakes and choices that THEY made. I hope they come here for the party. I hope they see me living my very best life. I hope that the sight of me enjoying myself, laughing, and dancing as I am introduced into society by my family, who love me, pisses them all off. I hope Reagan sees all this and realizes that maybe she should have spent her life trying to be a better she-wolf, than trying to steal everything away from me. It won’t stop me from asking her, “How is it working out for you now”? Because I am going to make sure to tell her that it sure as hell worked out for me.
Reagan’s POV
The ball is tomorrow, and I am not as excited about going, as I was a few weeks ago. Back then I had ruined her life, but in just over 2 short weeks, it turns out that mine is the one that is ruined. In my hurry to make sure that I “found” my mate first, I decided to take the man who was supposed to be hers. It was brilliant, both dad and I thought so. I would find mine “first” and take Justin away from her, which served both purposes. I had always thought Justin was cute, but back in school he never gave me any attention and on the two occasions I did approach him, he very politely told me that he was waiting on his mate. It was his loss back then, and I moved on to the next guy. I knew that I was on a timeline and that if she actually managed to find her mate, and the pack knew she had, I could lose Silver Blade, and that was never going to be an option for me. It was my birthright, simply because she was not my father’s child. But according to werewolf law, as firstborn, it was supposed to go to her.
I found out about the whole scandal at 16 when dad brought me to his office and told me what had happened. I was shocked, I mean she didn’t look like dad, but she had moms face. We shared some facial features, like our high cheekbones, mom’s nose, and eye shape. I had dad’s eye color, and our maternal grandfather had black hair, but I had no idea where she got her eye color from. Even with a bare face those piercing green eyes were stunning, it was the only thing about her that really ever stood out for me. I envied nothing else of hers until the meeting with dad. After he told me what had happened, I realized that Raven’s dad was strong. His pack was much larger than ours, and he was much richer than we were too. That made me angry, how did that happen? How did she deserve that? But I realized that if mom had stayed with Alpha Cole, I would not have existed. So I was OK with what she had done. Dad still has a lot of money, but he is more careful about spending it these days. He refused to let me get the car I wanted and made me pick a much cheaper one, but he made sure that I got everything that I had wanted other than that. I will make do though, after I get to be the Luna, I will get my dream car then, and be blissfully happy. Or at least that is what I thought.
At first, I really thought that Justin was just mad at me and that when he calmed down he would go back to normal. I mean we had been sleeping together for months, and we had a lot of fun doing it. I failed to take into account how odd he was acting after Raven fell out of that tree. I saw him touch her, and I knew he felt the tingles. I wasn’t worried though because he had decided to accept me, and he had already signed the contract. It was a source of embarrassment to him. I could hear it in his voice that night that he had found out that she was his mate. The shame he felt at getting her, and I knew that she could tell the same as I did, that in his opinion, that she was not worth battling the pack to claim. Neither of us knew she was there, we were in an area that was studiously avoided, which made it the perfect place to go and hook up. I honestly wished that we had just stayed in my room like we normally did, none of this would have happened. Raven would still be here, rejected, and not causing a problem. Then sometime after I took over as Luna, Raven would end up disappearing, gone for good.
It had all fallen apart that night. His touching her made him want her, enough to claim her, and that couldn’t happen. So her running away from Silver Blade was the best thing that could have happened. I honestly thought that when she trespassed over there that would be the end of my sister, yet they didn’t hurt her. In fact, quite the opposite, they stood up to defend and protect her, even not knowing who she was, but it seemed like their Beta did. Even with me knowing Raven’s story, I also knew that they didn’t allow people to come onto their land, not without a reason to be there. Until she showed up to reject Justin, I honestly thought that Raven might be killed by the Blood Walker pack. Now it seems like she will be taking it over, as the firstborn child of Alpha Cole. That morning was the start of a really bad day for me.
I scented a musky, masculine scent as soon as I approached the gate. My eyes were immediately drawn to him, and my stomach dropped. My second chance mate was here, and he knew what I had done. He knew that I had betrayed him, and in hearing what Justin had admitted to Raven, he knew that I had even gone so far as to force him to mark me. It really looked bad, and I could see the disgust all over his handsome face. I wanted my mate, he was gorgeous to me with his black hair and green eyes. He was strong, even stronger than Justin. I wanted to tell him that my dad forced me to do it, but I knew that dad would point out my lie in it. This whole thing had been my idea since he told me that he suspected that Justin was Raven’s mate. I felt much more connected to him than I was to my first mate. I had been sleeping with my first mate for a year, off and on, drawn to him for an unknown reason, until I turned 18. The sex we had after that was the best I had experienced, but I had already had dad put the contract together, and Justin was hotter than my mate was. So even though it was painful and sad, I rejected Marco and he ended up leaving the pack after he found his second chance mate. It hurt when he left, but I knew as soon as I looked into my second-chance mate’s eyes, that this rejection was going to hurt me so much more than the first one had. This bond was much stronger, and I think it was because he was supposed to be the one for me. All through the conversation, I kept feeling his eyes on me as I tried to look anywhere else but at him.
