Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 35

Pheobe POV
This can’t be happening. How could he have cloaked himself from me? I didn’t even know he could do that. “What’s the matter,
sister, you’re not happy to see me” he says with a sick smile. “Pheobe put the ring on”, I hear a female voice whisper in my mind.
I slide my hand into my pocket feeling for the ring I’ve been carrying since I found it. I don’t even know why I kept it. I don’t like
jewelry. I slip the ring on my finger despite having no idea who is reaching out to me or what their intentions are. At this moment,
I don’t have any other choice but to hope this ring means something. I never look away from my brother when I hear the
bathroom door open. “Ahh my pet, it’s good to see you again.” I hear Iris gasp. She comes to stand next to me gripping my arm.
“Now are you two going to come willingly or am I going to have to use force?” “F**k you, Lucas.” “We will not be going anywhere
with you willingly.” He laughs like he just heard the funniest joke. “I’m glad you said that, I was hoping to start your punishment.”
He raises his hand and I step in front of Iris. I start to chant and we are engulfed in a purple sphere the color of the ring. Lucas
laughs “how cute sister you have learned a new trick.” He waves his hand in our direction but nothing happens.
His smile immediately falls. It’s replaced with a look of pure anger. He tries again and again, but nothing happens. He walks
forward toward us and I continue to chant. As soon as his hand touches the purple sphere, he pulls back, falling to his knees. He
looks down and there’s a mark that looks like a burn. His eyes flash to mine with a look of rage and confusion. “What have you
done?” Before I can say anything, I hear Leland. “Lucas” I hear him say to my brother but he never takes his eyes off of me. I’m
sure he is worried that my brother was injured. Lucas has always seemed indestructible, but I guess he isn’t.” He looks back at
Leland and without a word they are gone. That must of killed him to have to retreat. I smile at that thought. I stop chanting and
the sphere disappears.
“Pheobe what the hell was that”, Iris says, taking me by my shoulders. “Honestly, I’m not sure but I’m glad nonetheless.” She
pulls me into a hug. A knock sounds on the door and I stiffen. I can’t imagine he would try again but I put nothing past Lucas.
“Mom” someone calls out and Iris starts for the door. I grab her arm. “You have no idea if that is really, Lily.” I watch Iris close her
eyes and when she opens them, she smiles. “I may not have my powers but I can sense my baby.” I let go of her arm and she
starts toward the door. I follow behind her and we hear a growl and the word “Mate” from someone. She turns looking at me with
a smile but I have no idea what the hell is happening right now.
Lily POV
There were ten check-ins on that list since yesterday. I don’t care if I have to bang on every one of those doors, I will. We move
floor to floor and with each room that isn’t them the pit in my stomach grows. We reach the third floor and knock on the room that

I found my beautiful friend in. That would be ironic, wouldn’t it? There is silence and I’m just about to move to the next door when
I sense my mother. “Mom” I say and still there is silence. I finally hear movement and after a few seconds I hear a growl behind
me. I turn and Michael’s eyes are black. “Mate” he says, and at first I’m happy for Michael. Then I think about where she comes
from and my heart breaks a little after all Michael has been through. I pray that he suffers no more heart break.
The door opens and my mother’s beautiful face is staring back at me. I engulf her in my arms and I will never let her go again.
“Mom, thank the goddess.” “I’m so sorry.” “No, don’t you do that young lady.” “You have nothing to be sorry for.” “It was my job to
protect you, no matter the cost.” I can feel the tears running down my cheeks at her words. I hear someone screech and we
separate long enough to see Michael wrapped around the girl that I saw during the location spell. She starts to fight and I laugh.
She has no idea what’s happening. Wolves scent their mates but we must make eye contact to recognize our beloveds.
“Michael, put her down and look into her eyes.” He growls low and Neal steps in front of me. Goddess, I love this man. “Michael,
she is your mate but she needs to see your eyes.” After a few seconds, he finally must take control of his wolf and he releases
her.
Pheobe POV
My heart is full as I watch Lily embrace Iris. Thank the goddess they came and Iris will be safe now. As I watch them, I am lifted
off my feet and wrapped in two strong arms. What the hell is happening right now? I start to fight. Maybe they think I am like
Lucas. I hear Lily begin to speak and call this man Michael. Did she just call me his “mate?” That can’t be, he is never going to
want a black magic witch for his mate. He steps back, listening to Lily, and he places his hands on my face. When our eyes
finally meet, I can’t believe this is happening. I whisper “beloved” and he smiles. For a moment, I let myself wish this could really
happen, but then I step back. I see the look of disappointment and it shatters me. Iris comes over wrapping her arm around me.
“You two have a lot to talk about so let’s get some place safe so that can happen.” “Iris is right, Lucas left but that doesn’t mean
he won’t come back.” “He was here” Lily says with anger in her voice. “Lily, we can talk about that once we are some place safe”
Iris says. Lily nods and comes to stand between me and her mother. She wraps her arms around us both. I see the look of
sympathy she gives Michael before we are gone. We reappear near what looks like a mansion. A few seconds later, Michael and
two other men appear a few feet away. Lily takes our hands and we follow down a path leading to a huge building. “Lily, where
are we going” her mother asks. “We are in my pack and heading to the pack hospital.” “That really isn’t necessary, Lily” Iris says.
“Mom please” she says and Iris says no more. We arrive and two doctors come toward us. “Miss, come with me” a male doctor
says as he takes my arm. I hear a growl behind me and the doctor looks up into Michael’s very pissed-looking eyes. I roll my
eyes and follow the doctor.
Michael POV

As soon as I catch her scent at the hotel, all the bad sh*t seems to fade away just knowing that my mate is on the other side of
the door. When I’m finally able to wrap her in my arms, the tingles where our skin touches is amazing. I don’t even realize at first
she is fighting me. I finally manage to push Jaxon down and listen to Lily’s words. I set her on her feet, taking her face in my
hands. The minute our eyes meet, I see the moment she realizes who I am to her. She whispers the most beautiful words I have
ever heard, “beloved.” When she steps back from me, I feel like my heart is being ripped out. I pray to the goddess this woman
doesn’t plan to reject me. I am strong but I will lose it completely.
Watching her disappear makes me want to shift. Neal puts his hand on my shoulder. “Give her time, she’ll come around.” “I hope
you’re right.” John wraps his arms around both of us and we appear in the pack yard. She is about ten feet from us but it feels
like miles. They turn and start walking. I have no intention of letting her out of my sight. I will give her time to accept me, but I
need to be near her. “I want my mate” Jaxon says. “I know, I do to.” We walk into the waiting room to see Dr. Long touching my
mate. I growl before I can stop myself. His eyes whip to mine and he nods, realizing who she is to me. Once she is through the
doors, I take a seat and try to stay calm.
Atlas POV
“Have you heard anything from Walker yet?” “Don’t you think I would have told you if I had Thomas.” “For all I know, they could
all be dead at this point.” “Max is a strong wolf and I have faith he can take care of James” Thomas says. “You better hope so
because if not I’m sure they will strip you of your title.” Thomas growls “f**k them, I will make them all pay if they try to strip my
title.” “If Max doesn’t kill James, I will.” As we talk, I feel a link. “Alpha it’s Walker.” “Is it done?” “Yes Alpha but Max did not
survive.” I chuckle “bring your a**es back its time to take my Luna back.” “Yes, Alpha, we should be there shortly.” “We were
almost caught so we have been in hiding.” I cut the link because I only care that the Elders are dead. “It seems you’re in luck
Thomas, they are dead.” “Unfortunately, your friend didn’t survive.” “Where have they been?” “Taking care of things is all you
need to know.” I can see he wants to say more but he doesn’t. We are so close and I can’t wait to watch that ba**ard beg for his
life. Maybe I’ll f**k her right in front of him before I rip him apart.
Lincoln POV
“Walker, understand something, if you don’t stand by all you told the Elder I will not hesitate to break your neck myself.” “Alpha, I
would never have followed him if I knew all he had done.” “I promise you that by the time you arrive at the pack we will be ready
to take Atlas down.”
