Betrayed by My Beta Mate

35 Found

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.

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

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,

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

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
