Cheryl’s POV
We have been here for three months now. I was surprised by the quick turn of events after we arrived here at Black Moon. I assumed that Reagan would be the one that Blake would choose. She was more attractive than I was, but I found out why about a week into our stay here. It was kind of funny, as she was getting mad that she could not get any of the guys to want to take her as a chosen mate. Just looking at it from a logical standpoint, she was the daughter of an Alpha, and very attractive. It stood to measure that she would provide strong, attractive pups to whoever she ended up with.
They knew as soon as they saw her, who she was, they also knew she was the one in the video. None of the ranked wolves wanted her because of it. She was stunned the night that I protected her from Sierra, that Blake would be wanting to take me as his mate. She was quiet about it for a week, and then she blew up at lunch in the dining room at me. Thankfully most of the room was empty, I have no idea why she would do it in an open forum like that but it didn’t make me look bad. It made her look bad. It was the afternoon of my and Blake's first date. The first week had been busy. With them going to sort out the transfer of money to keep us here at Black Moon that first day after we arrived. The second day they went out and Alpha Graham negotiated a deal to get the properties on not just both sides, but an additional 20 acres that were behind the pack as well, all for the same listed price on the contract.
Blake appreciated that, very much. Alpha Graham was just glad for us to have a safe space here. Blake had mentioned his intentions toward me after the fight outside his office. But it wasn’t until the third day after I first trained with him and his men, that he mentioned when he wanted to take me out on a date. I was happy to agree, and Reagan was mad about it, again. We had all gone out together, the 6 of our group, and Blake and his men, to look at locations for the new house that Alpha Graham wanted to build. The third location turned out to be the one they wanted, and Alpha Graham and Luna Cassandra went out the next day to give their vision for it to the architect to design for them. The back of the house would face a valley, and the forest, and you will be able to see the sunset every night. They wanted to take advantage of that and the back of the home will have glass across the whole back wall of the main living area.
Blake had to deal with a few other things, and then get caught up on paperwork the next two days. When he reminded me the night before that he would take me out at 7 pm, for our date, I saw the way Reagan’s lips pursed. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t. Not until the day of the date. She was wearing her typical outfit of a pair of skintight leggings and a cropped shirt when she started the argument in the dining room. I remember it like it was yesterday, as it was the first time that something worked out for me.
“Why? Why is he even looking at you? When he could have me?” Reagan said to me as soon as we sat down.
“Excuse me? After I protected you, that is how you are going to treat me?” I asked her. I mean I know she is petty, but she should have been thanking me. If Sierra had gotten to her, she would never have been pretty again.
“Yes, and I appreciate it, but seriously. I am way hotter than you. I just don’t understand why none of the guys have flirted back, or asked me out. But you are going out with Blake. It is just not right. I am sorry to offend you, but it isn’t” Reagan said. Like the “sorry to offend” was going to take the sting out of it.
“That was his decision. I would be lying if I said I wasn't flattered and happy about it. But that is his decision to make, not mine or yours. You need to stop, it isn’t any of your business” I told her and I can almost see steam coming off of her.
“Bitch, I will so ruin your parent's chance at living in my parent's house, if you don’t stop with your bad attitude” Reagan fired back.
“You petty bitch, you are going to threaten my parents because you are mad he is taking me out, and not you? Seriously? We are all in this together. Everyone else is working for that very purpose, and you pull this. Do you really think that someone can make Blake do anything? Do you think that he will be so mad that I am not going to go out with him that he asks you out? You are really delusional, Reagan. He could have already asked you out if he wanted to. I honestly don’t think he wants to. He wants to raise strong pups, yes, you may be an Alpha rank, but you are not a traditional Alpha child. You don’t train, you don’t care about anyone but yourself. How are you going to take care of this pack?” I asked her in all seriousness.
“My mom can show me, she would help me. You need to back off, and let Blake think before he acts. I can do this. I was born to be a Luna. I was supposed to be the Luna for Silver Blade” Reagan told me with a huff.
“Yea, supposed to be, but not anymore. You should be ashamed of yourself. You can’t control everything. Don’t forget I know just how low and double-crossing that you can be. I know that you planned on letting Brandon “comfort” you after releasing that video. You told me that you were just going to pick another chosen to become the Alpha of Silver Blade. I was supposed to get Brandon. That was the plan. I helped you every step of the way. You cannot be trusted. You need to stop, your actions cost us everything. You kept pushing and doing, more and more, making new plans and never leaving her alone. We are in this because of YOU. You can’t twist this for me, I know, I was right there with you. I heard what you told your dad. Brandon was supposed to be mine. I was after him for almost 3 years of my life. You were just going to try to swoop in there and take him. I swear Reagan, you cannot be believed, what nerve you have. It is absolutely astounding,” I told her.
I see her mouth open to respond but heard Blake say, “I agree. She really has been a busy girl. I have heard a lot about her and seen a lot of what she has done. Quite an impressive legacy she is leaving behind her. I know that we have seen her latest body of work, several times. We also saw the rebuttal video too, showing that it was you, and not your sister. That must have been really embarrassing on your part, for the whole werewolf community to know what lengths you will go to, to get what you want. Stole your sister's mate, and then tried to get her second chance mate too. That is pretty high-level spite there. I wonder why you hate her so much? Why you are causing Cheryl grief when I asked her out? Like she said she can’t control it, yet you tried to force her to reject going out with me. Threatening her parent's part, was the best for me. There indeed was a reason I asked her out, and not you. I do not want a porn star for a Luna, that is first off. We all know it was you, and not your sister you were trying to put the blame on. Don’t argue, we can see the mole right now on your side. Secondly, you are not trained and have no real interest in anyone but yourself. You would not be a good mother for the pack, or for a pup, and you are just not a good leader. Despite your “born to be Luna” mentality. The bottom line is I think a lot of people could have you and probably have had you. But Cheryl was selective, I am selective too. She is a warrior and will provide me with strong pups. She is loyal and trustworthy, she is attractive, and she is my choice. I do not want to hear you threaten her again. It will not go well for you” Blake said and gave a hard look at Reagan, and he and his men walked past us and went to their table.
I can see the smirk on Garrett and Marc’s faces, they were trying not to laugh. I can see Travis’ wistful look, he does want her, but as the youngest of the crew, he is scared of the fallout and teasing he will get if he chooses to pick her to date. The stunned look on Reagan's face was priceless. She thought that they had left out of here earlier, I did too actually, I have no idea that they were in here. Reagan’s face turned red, and she hurried out of the dining room. I can see her parents entering to eat, followed by mine, and they came to sit with me at the table. I didn’t want to get in the middle of the drama, I prefer to stay out of it, especially when Reagan was involved in it. But they knew it was big, and so I had to relay that she got upset because she confronted me about going out with Blake tonight, and that he took up for me.
Dad and Alpha Graham knew it was more than that so they sent their mates to go grab them more to drink and made me spill what happened. When I told them that they were all fully aware of the video, and it being Reagan in it, I could see Alpha Graham look shocked. I told them that they had seen the rebuttal video too, and all that had happened before we had even arrived. I knew that they had planned on trying to become ranked here too, they thought this pack was simple. But they learned as soon as we got to our new rooms, that this place was anything but simple. Full wi-fi, and stunning rooms. I know that my mom, Reagan, and Luna Cassandra were the happiest to see it. Care and taste had been used with the choices for the features in the rooms, and Luna Cassandra had even told Alpha Graham, that she was good with staying here, in the packhouse.
If he hadn’t already mentioned wanting to build his own home already, he may have done it. But I think that their opinion was that they would be safest in their own space, out of the packhouse. I think so too. Things went well on our date that night, and he wanted me to explain to him who Brandon was, and what I had said to Reagan. I told him, not the full version of what all I had done at Black Adder, but enough. He seemed a little jealous of my chasing Brandon for so long. He was attentive and gorgeous, and I caught feelings fast. After a month of going out, he asked me about becoming his chosen mate. That made me even happier, and I quickly accepted.
Right at the 2-month mark of our being there, we had my Luna ceremony. My mom and Luna Cassandra helped me plan it My parents were proud, and so were Graham and Cassandra. Reagan wasn’t, but there was nothing that she could do about it. Our first night together was perfect, and as I was waiting for Brandon to accept me as his, Blake was my first. He was very pleased about it, and even more jealous of Brandon at the time. Now, at the three-month mark, I am almost a month pregnant with our first pup. Blake and I could not be more proud of starting our own little family. Cassandra has helped me learn some Luna duties, and Blake was happy to give me some of his additional duties to help him get the work done so we could have extra time together.
I noticed that Reagan has been spending less and less time with us, and is out a lot of the time. Secretive, so I am sure she is dating someone. I think it is Travis, but I don’t honestly know. She is leaving Blake alone, but after he shot her down so hard, she really didn’t have any other choice in the matter. She can stay away all the time for all I care. I was really concerned at first about the council knowing that I was here, as you had to note any changes to the Alpha couple, and ranked wolves to the council. Blake sent them my middle name and his last name. He doesn’t allow them to come here and if they ever did, he would hide us, as they wouldn’t be allowed in the packland unless he authorized them to enter. They leave him and his pack alone. We are considered a lesser pack because we are so small. They have no idea that now our land has now tripled in size, and they won’t have a clue about it. He will not be informing them of it, they can find out later. He does not care that they want to run things. He has not mentioned the reason he hates the council so much. I am sure that he has his own reasons.
I could not be happier than I am right now. I love Blake, and he said he loves me, so we are taking this slow. We have all the time in the world. I appreciate him, and he is so happy about the baby. He touches my stomach all the time, and he is proud to tell anyone that will listen that I am carrying his baby. It is funny because as soon as the doctor confirmed our being pregnant, he held a meeting that night. He announced it to our whole pack, so they all know, which makes it all the cuter to me. He is very proud of our pup. I hope our baby goes on to do great things. I know that for the first pup, Blake wanted a boy, but right now we do not know what we are having. I told him that we can try again, and again, for a son if he wants. I hope we do have a son, and that he looks just like Blake.
I had just got to bed and was wondering where Blake was, he is usually here by now. I pulled the covers back and tried to sleep without him, but I felt a pain in my abdomen. It was pretty sharp, and I was worried about miscarrying the baby. I managed to make it down to the elevator, to go down to his office, but when I got there, I figured out what the problem was. I could slightly hear sounds that I hope were not from him, but I know they were. I stepped back, out of camera coverage so he wouldn’t know I was here outside his door. He marked me, I marked him. He should know that with being marked you can feel it, I can feel what he is doing. My heart is breaking, and this is the first time that I have felt this type of pain. I cannot stand anymore and I slide down the wall, to the floor. I can only hope that this pain can pass quickly, as I do not know if it will cause the baby problems. I am sickened by this. We have been together for two months, and he made me his chosen. Why would he do this to me? He was so happy and proud to call me his mate.
I am angry and hurt, I would like nothing more than to just run away from here. To leave the entire state and go live in a human city somewhere else, and I swear I might just do that. I want some answers, but I wanted him to comfort me but didn't want him to touch me. If I didn’t love him, I would never have accepted him. He chased me, he wanted me, and said that he loved me, why would he do this? Did he think I would not feel it because we are not true mates? I waited another 5 minutes before I heard the door open, and Blake stepped out straightening his shirt up. I looked to see who was with him and was not surprised to see Reagan wearing another slutty outfit.
“Why?” I asked and I saw him stiffen up.
“Why what?” Blake said to me, “You cheated on me, so fair is fair.”
“Are you serious now? With whom? Who did I sleep with? Did you feel the horrible pain of your mate cheating on you? Because I just did, and I couldn’t even stand here at the end of it Blake. What if something happens to our pup? Why her? You couldn’t stand her, why in the Goddess's name would you sleep with her of all people?” I asked him.
“She had pictures of you doing it, Cheryl. I saw them. She showed me tonight, you sleeping with a warrior. Is that even my pup you are carrying?” Blake roared at me. He is furious, and I slowly stood and said, “Show me the photos.”
Blake motioned to Reagan to show me, and I could see she didn’t want to. She opened her phone and I could see right off the bat, that it was her, and not me. Our haircut and color are different. Her is lighter than mine, but mine is longer.
“Blake look at the picture again,” I said.
“I don’t want to. I gave you everything to make you mine, and you betrayed me” Blake said, and thankfully Garrett and Marc showed up.
“Please show Garrett and Marc, if you won’t listen to me, but that is not me, it is Reagan. She lied to you, and you just cheated on me, to sleep with this slut. What if I miscarry our baby from this? Did you even think of that?” I asked him and went to sit down in a chair in the seating area outside his office. I watched as they looked at the pictures, and then at her hair, and I turned to show them mine. Now that Blake was calmer, he could see the difference. I watched him walk toward me, but I do not want his comfort now. He did this because he was mad. He let her trick him, and now what if she is pregnant with his baby too from it? She would do that, she could be pregnant from the warrior right now, and try to trick Blake. He reached out to stop me by holding my arm.
“Wait, Cheryl, I am sorry. I thought it was you in the picture. She said it was you” Blake said, and I shook his hand off and said, “She lies, Blake, she cannot be trusted. Why would you believe anything she said? You know about her, you picked me because you could trust me. But I cannot trust you anymore. I am disgusted to know that you would do that to me.” I cannot hold the tears in and started crying, with large tears running down my face. I see her smirk at me, and before I could stop myself I punched her in the face, hard. I know I broke her nose. Smirk that off bitch.
I walked away and stopped the first Omega I saw and asked about a free room. I cannot sleep next to him tonight. I refuse to do it.
“No, you will come with me, Cheryl. We need to talk” Blake said, grabbing my upper arm and walking me to the elevator. I tried to get free again, but his hold was tight on my arm. I am disgusted with the hands that he used to touch her, touching me now. I feel dirty. But if he thinks that I will forgive him, he is wrong, I just can’t right now.
He takes me into our room, and tells me, “Stay here” before going into the bathroom to take a shower. I would have left but, I am quite sure if I opened the door, there will have been someone in the hallway to report my trying to leave. I am not going to leave, well not tonight. I went and grabbed a pillow and an extra blanket and went to the couch in our living room. I will not lay next to him, knowing what he did to me.
I turned the light off in the living room and left the light in the bedroom on. I settled down, but my mind was racing. There was no way that I will be able to sleep tonight. My trust in him is gone. The happiness that I was so thankful for, completely destroyed because of a jealous bitch. I hate her so much. She just cannot let anyone be happy. If she wants him so much, she can have him, because I am done here. I am going to leave, my dad and mom can come with me if they want to, but I will not stay here anymore.
I see the panic that Blake had when he came out of the bathroom and didn’t find me in the bedroom. He was in the shower for a long time, over ten minutes, but what happened cannot just be washed away. I saw him rush into the living room, and calm a little when he saw me lying on the couch. I see his jaw tighten up, and I braced for him to yell at me. I just turned my back on him. He picked me up, grabbed my pillow, and took me back into our room. He laid me gently on the bed and held my hand as he sat next to me and said, “I am sorry, Cheryl. I am. It seemed like you had cheated on me. I was angry, and when she said that she would sleep with me to get you back, I thought you deserved it. I should have known that she could not be trusted. I made a mistake, please forgive me.” He glided his hand across my stomach feeling my tiny baby bump. He is trying to guilt me into forgiving him.
“You never answered me. Did you feel the pain of my cheating on you?” I asked him quietly. He closed his eyes like he was in pain. I am sure he has never felt them. He is handsome and women go crazy over him, only a fool would cheat on him.
“I do not. I was pissed off, and then she took her clothes off. I didn’t want to sleep with her, but I wanted you to be just as hurt as I was. I know you and her do not get along anymore. So I did it, but I am so sorry baby. I do not find her attractive at all” Blake said, and he is angry. Really angry at being tricked by Reagan. He leaned down to give me a kiss, but I don’t know where his lips have been. I do not want to kiss him and turned my head away so he kissed my cheek. He growls lowly at me for the disrespect.
“I did not kiss her,” He told me angrily.
“Did your lips touch any part of her? If they did, I don’t want them on me” I told him.
“No, I didn’t have my lips on her. She sucked my dick, and then I finished on her, I pulled out before I came. I didn’t want her to have my pup. Only you are qualified to carry my pup” Blake said and he seems angry at my attitude.
“She can get pregnant even if you didn’t finish inside her, Blake. I got pregnant quickly, you are an Alpha. Reagan was super pissed at not being your chosen. I know you got yourself tricked, but Goddess, Blake. Can you not see my side of this? You should be able to, you slept with her, at just the thought of me cheating on you. We are marked, I felt it. I was scared and thought that I was miscarrying our baby. I go to find you, when you should have been with me, only to find that you are in your office having sex. You have hurt me, very badly. I just want to go to sleep, please” I said to him.
I am hurt and frustrated. I have to make plans because I no longer want to be here with him. Especially if he thinks that hurting me was a good option. It shouldn’t have been, that is petty and childish behavior. I turned my back to him when he got in bed, but I didn’t fight him when he pulled me back into him. I didn’t want him to touch me. I am hurt, and I wish I could say that I didn’t cry, but I did, he spoke soothing words to me, that made it worse. So much worse. I know that my crying was not lost on him. I know that it won’t be easy to get out of here, but I will. I stayed up half the night before I let exhaustion take over and relaxed my body enough to finally fall asleep. But it wasn’t all in vain. I know how I will find my freedom. With, or without my parents. I will be leaving here soon.
Reagan Get's Punished
