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.

would die before I would ever allow someone to have my beloved.” “You are no warlock or man for that matter.” “What is the name of the coven that has my mother?” He stays silent and I step forward. “You were worried about saving your own a** before so know that I will turn you inside out if you don’t tell me the answer.” “It is the Black Rose Coven and Lucas Morris is the leader who took your mother.” “That is a black magic coven you ba**ard.” This time I raise my hand slapping my father across the face. “For the crimes you committed against

warlock is standing there with his arms crossed. I wave my arm before he can do anything and he falls to the floor. We walk down the stairs and the conditions are disgusting. John is ready to lose it as we go from cell to cell. John reaches the last cell and he throws the door open. We rush inside and my aunt looks like she has been beat and starved. The room we are in is hampering my magic so I’m sure it stopped hers completely. John picks

around the desk picking her up and sitting down on the couch with her in my lap. “Love I know your worried but Lily is strong and Neal will never let anything happen to her.” “I know I’m more worried about what will happen if she can’t help her mother.” “Lily is going to blame herself for leaving even though she had no other choice.” My phone rings and when I answer a nurse from the hospital is talking fast. “When” I ask.
