Betrayed by My Beta Mate

55 Battle

John POV

I’m heading to the warrior’s barracks after Lily came to tell me everything that is happening regarding Lucas’s attack. I’m glad Leland is doing the right thing. I want to be there to see that ba**ard suffer after what he did to my aunt and his mother. As I walk down the path that winds through the cottages and leads to the barracks, a white wolf runs across in front of me. The wolf stops and starts to sniff the air before it runs toward the cottages. I don’t know all the wolves in the pack, but if I remember correctly, white wolves aren’t common. I watch as the wolf comes to stop in front of one of the cottages. When the wolf shifts, I can see it’s a beautiful woman even though I some distance away. I don’t want to act like a pervert, but I can’t bring myself to look away. She notices me but before she can say anything, a little girl comes running outside. “Mama, I want to ride Clarice”, I hear the little girl say. Another woman comes out onto the porch and stares in my direction. If looks could kill, I would be dead. The woman shifts again into the white wolf and the little girl climbs on her back before she takes off. I watch her weave through the trees until I can’t see her anymore. “The show is over, get lost” the woman yells from the porch. I say nothing and finish the walk to the barracks.

When I arrive, I speak with Michael and the warriors about our plan when Lucas makes his move to attack the pack. Lucas has no idea what he is about to walk into. “Get some rest, everyone needs to be at their best tomorrow so we don’t lose any warriors”, Michael says to the men. We start the walk back from the barracks toward my cottage and the pack house. “Michael, the white wolf I saw tonight, who is she?” He stops and looks at me like I’m crazy. “There is no white wolf in the pack. I would know about a white wolf if we had one. They are blessed by the goddess herself and very special.” “Michael, I am telling you that the woman in the cottage up ahead is a white wolf. I watched her shift.” “Show me what cottage you’re talking about” he says and we walk farther up the path. I point to the cottage and he smiles. “That is the place we gave to Maureen, Penny, and Judith. They were rogues that Atlas had locked up and Walker helped free them. She was part of a collective but ran because its leader is nuts and was trying to force her to mate. I haven’t seen her wolf yet.” “Well, I assure you that she is white as snow.” “That’s amazing, I’ll let Lincoln and Amelia know before I head home. Don’t say anything to anyone else, John. There has to be a reason she kept that fact to herself.” “Of course, I won’t say a word.” Michael starts to walk toward the pack house as I walk toward my cottage. We have only taken about ten steps when we hear growling and screaming. Michael rushes toward me, “we are under attack, I guess the a**hole changed his mind about when he was coming.” We both rush toward the border. I see him linking as we run. He shifts and I can’t keep up, so I teleport to the trees near the border.

pack house. I shift and Leland disappears. As soon as I reach the pack house Star is waiting. We take off toward the border. I say a prayer to the goddess to keep Amelia and everyone safe. Once we arrive, there must be a hundred warlocks standing across the border. I shift as does Amelia, pulling on shorts and a t-shirt. “Well, aren’t you a pretty mutt”, Lucas says. I growl and Talon is ready to rip him to shreds. We have to be smart about this. After all, he is a warlock

you to Pheobe’s mate, Michael. The Beta of this pack. “You have accepted a disgusting wolf as your beloved. You are no sister of mine and will die today for your betrayal of your kind.” “No, I am not a sister to you. You are a monster and not worthy of being anything to anyone”, Pheobe says. A noise draws our attention from the woods and Leland walks over and stands next to Lucas. I hear gasps

Pheobe POV

without a thought, I do the same. I deflect every energy ball he throws. I hear him give the order and all hell breaks loose. He starts toward me, but honestly, I am not afraid of him anymore. I am strong enough and with the support of the people around me, I can do this. Lily comes to stand on my left side and Iris on my right. I smile when I see Lucas stop about twenty feet from us. “Isn’t this perfect, my pet and my new beloved?” “I am nothing to you. That is my beloved”, Lily says, pointing at Neal, who is fighting in wolf form. Again, a look of disgust crosses my brother’s face. “The only thing that you will be receiving today, Lucas,

the breath I didn’t even realize I was holding. That’s when I realize that John is coming out of the trees. He and Leland are the reason the ball was destroyed. Lucas screams and throws an energy ball at John, knocking him back into a tree. Leland disappears before Lucas can do anything to him. He turns back to us with rage on his face. Lily rushes toward him, fueled by anger about what he just did to John. Iris and I walk toward
