Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 41

41 New Mate

Lily POV

We are supposed to meet with Lincoln and Amelia in twenty minutes. My mother can’t stop smiling at Neal, who is walking in front of us. She is so thrilled I found him and she hasn’t stopped gushing over how lucky we both are. “I’m so happy you found such a handsome loving beloved, Lily.” I smile because she is whispering, but I know he can hear her with his wolf hearing. “Me too, mom”, I say wiggling my eyebrows up and down. She taps my arm “that is not what I meant.” I laugh and I hear Neal chuckle. We reach the dining room to grab breakfast before our meeting. We head over and take a seat with Charles and Lorraine. John will join us later. He took my aunt to his cottage this morning after the doctor discharged her. Hopefully, Michael will let Pheobe leave the room for our meeting. Wolves can be quite possessive during the mating and marking. I remember how long Neal and I spent making love when we mated. “When all this is settled, I plan to take you away for a week where it’s just you and me”, Neal links me. I can feel the blush on my cheek as our eyes connect. I roll my eyes and start to eat again.

“Where are the Elders” I ask Charles, knowing they were released last night from the pack hospital. “They wanted to ready their men for the battle.” “They will be back this afternoon.” I nod and take a sip from my coffee. “We may have to wait until Lincoln and Amelia finish speaking to Walker before we head up for the meeting.” I see concern on Neal’s face. “Why would Walker be here after he just went back to the pack?” “I’m not sure Lily, Lincoln is meeting with them in the office” Lorraine says. Neal stands and I do the same. We both head toward the stairs. “Lily I’m coming with you” my mother calls from behind us. She catches up and we walk down the hall toward the office. Neal knocks before he opens the door for me to walk in. As I walk into the office a wolf growls. I turn to see Walker growling and a woman I have never seen pick up a little girl. “Mate” he says looking in my direction. I can feel Neal’s anger through our bond and I know this isn’t right. Neal is my only beloved. Neal steps in front of me as Walker comes toward us. He walks around us and now I’m even more in shock.

Walker POV

front of Lily but I side step them wrapping this woman in my arms. I bury my head in her neck and breathe in her scent. “Oh, my goddess” I hear Lily say. “Lily, what’s happening” I hear my mate say and I stiffen at her words. She doesn’t know who I am to her. I feel a hand on my shoulder. “Walker step back and look into my mother’s eyes.” Her

looking at me in my eyes. “I know that your wolf wants me because of the bond but,” I step closer to her. “We both want you.” She takes a step back and I hate that Rowan may be right. I have waited for her since

Iris POV

mate with a coven leader’s son, but for a different reason. I was an only child and Conrad took control of our coven when my father died. I wasn’t strong like Lily and I didn’t fight my father’s wishes. I can’t regret my choice because I have Lily. I never knew what it was to be drawn to a beloved, but it is intense. When I looked into his eyes, I could feel my soul start to bind to him. Despite how composed I look on the outside, my heart is ready to beat out of my chest. He needs to know what

evil to the core. He never loved me and he used me to grow his coven. He growls but quiets quickly. “He promised a warlock my daughter for protection and I helped her escape.” “When she wasn’t there he gave me, to the warlock as payment.” I see his beautiful green eyes turn black before they return to green. “Please” he says and I continue. “The warlock is a monster and he did things to me that are unimaginable.” This time he picks me up taking me over to the couch and sits me in his lap. “I know you need to tell me more but I need to have you close to hear this before Rowan takes control.” I don’t protest and I continue. “He violated and tortured me in every way imaginable.” He puts his head in the crook of my neck again breathing deep. After a few minutes, he picks his head up and
