Betrayed by My Beta Mate

23 The Truth

Lily POV

“You’re a f**king liar” I say and my father steps toward me raising his hand to slap me. I hear a growl from behind me and my father finally acknowledges that I’m not alone. He lowers his hand with a look of disgust on his face. “You brought a filthy wolf to my coven.” “That handsome wolf is my beloved and I would be very careful how you speak, Conrad.” “Do you think I’m scared of a little girl or this animal” he says pointing at Neal. “You should, be very scared of the witch that Iris’s daughter has become” John says. He laughs “scared of what you pathetic traitor?” “Do you think that I don’t have warlocks here that will deal with the three of you?” I place my hand on John’s arm. “I have no desire to be here or even look at you after what you tried to do to me.” “I just want my mother.” “Time away from the coven has made your ears not work apparently Lilth, your mother is dead.” “You don’t get to call me that.” “Only my mother gets to call me that.” “I don’t believe a word you say and I’m not leaving without my mother.”

John comes to stand next to me. “Where is my mother, Conrad” John asks. “She came to Lily so don’t try to say she is dead.” He looks pissed at first but then he laughs again “your mother went against me and the coven so she is being punished for her crimes.” I raise my hand and my father rises in the air. He starts to grab for his throat as I begin to choke him without even touching him. He attempts to cast against me but he can’t. I watch his eyes get big and I just smile. “What’s wrong Conrad shocked this little girl is more powerful than you.” I drop him to the floor. “I have no desire to end your pathetic life but if you keep my mother from me I will absolutely do it.” He is gasping for air and again tries to cast against me. “What have you done?” “I used my powers to stop yours, now you can tell me where Aunt Jiselle and mom are or I can finish what I just started.” I see fear flash across his face. “Jiselle is in the cells.” “My mother” I say as a question.

leader of the coven came for you the day after your birthday and your mother refused to tell either of us where you went.” “He wanted you and he was irate that you were gone.” Neal pulls me to his side “mine.” “I’m yours love, no one will ever have me but you” I link him. My father rolls his eyes in disgust but continues. “Lucas was livid and because you broke the deal, he took your mother in your place.” I feel sick to my stomach with what he just said. He allowed another man to take his beloved and my mother. “What the f**k do you mean he took her?” “You know exactly what I mean.” “Because of you another man has my beloved.” “You allowed that warlock to take my mother.” “I told you that we needed the protection of that coven.” “He would have killed me

as she retells the story. Talon is growling as we listen to what her father did. How could he betray Lily and his mate to maintain his position in the coven. My mind flashes to my father actions before I bring myself back to this conversatiuon. “Lily the pack will be at your disposal to get your mother back from this ba**ard.” “Thank you but I won’t put the pack members in harm’s way.” “This
