Betrayed by My Beta Mate

59 Two-Faced

Pheobe POV

I can tell that Leland is in no mood to deal with the cat right now, so I scoop him up in my arms. I’m not giving up that Lance is still alive. “Leland, can you get me something that would have meant something to your brother?” He looks up at me with hope in his eyes. He rushes from the room without another word and I say a prayer to the goddess that this works. “It looks like you found a new friend love,” Michael says. I look down at the pure white cat as I rub his head. As soon as Leland comes back, I hand the cat to my mother. He places a gold watch in my hand. “Our father gave Lance this watch. It’s his most prized possession.” I smile and take a seat on the bed. I place my hand over the top of the watch and begin to chant the location spell. After a few minutes, my eyes fly open and land on the cat my mother is still holding. Well, my brother was definitely creative this time. He didn’t kill Lance, he stripped his powers and made him a cat. It would be funny if he hadn’t worried Leland so much. I stand walking toward my mother. I take the cat in my arms and place him on the bed. “What’s happening Pheobe,” Leland asks. “My brother hid your brother in plain sight. I guess he figured that would be worse than death.”

I wave my hand and begin to chant. The cat begins to morph back into its true form. Lance appears on the bed. He smiles at first but then he must remember he’s naked. He covers himself and I laugh. “Welcome back, Lance.” I wave my hand again and he is dressed. I don’t need Michael losing his sh*t because he is naked. I look back and he smiles at me. I roll my eyes and look back at Lance. He stands from the bed. “Thank you, Pheobe.” “No thanks is required, I’m just glad you’re alright.” Leland pulls him into a hug. Once they release each other, I step forward. “Give me your hand Lance.” I wait to hear the growl but it never comes. Goddess, I love this man. I begin to chant and I feel the magic flow from me into Lance’s hand. After a few seconds, I step back. “You have your powers back.” “You are truly amazing, Pheobe. I can never thank you enough.” “Being the best second in command to the coven is thanks enough.” He smiles “I promise I will make you and Leland proud.”

alright?” My mother smiles before she pulls me into a hug. I take Michael’s hand and lead him back to that empty room. I wave my hand, creating a room that is nothing like it was before. It is light and beautiful. There is no darkness. Michael wraps his arms around me pulling my back to his front. “It’s beautiful love.” I turn in his arms and lay my head against his chest. “Now can you tell me about what happened earlier?” He chuckles before he lifts me, setting me down on the bed. He kneels in front of me and lays his hand against my stomach. I gasp “our perfect pup is growing inside of you. I can hear its heart beating” he says, and I can’t help the tears that start to flow

Clarissa POV

to relieve my post.” “You know his mate is due any day now. I offered to take his post tonight. Besides, it’s not like we have any prisoners. I’m only here if something should happen.” “Actually, they brought a rogue in about an hour ago. He is in the second cell.” “Really, he made it into the pack without being caught by the patrol guards.” “Yes, from what I heard, he was after John’s mate. He was able to get in because the others were dealing with the warlocks that attacked.” “I didn’t know John had a mate. Did he hurt her” I ask. “No, from what I know, she is safe and so is her pup. We aren’t to touch the rogue Clarissa per the Alpha’s orders. I know how you feel about them. The Alpha and Luna will be meeting with him in the morning.” I roll my eyes, “I won’t touch the filthy rogue.” He crosses his arms over his chest like he doesn’t believe me. “Clarissa, I remember what happened last

rogue, now.” “I can’t, I was enchanted by a witch that lives in the collective. She does the leader’s bidding” “He can’t be a very good leader if he sent you. You don’t look like you can fight at all. Why would he send such a weak wolf?” “F**k you” he says, shocking me. I laugh “be careful rogue I have killed your kind before and I have no problem doing it again.” I see fear flash across his face. “Now answer my question.” “I was here to take her pup or he’ll kill my mate.” This time I can’t help my smile. He wants the little girl so that Maureen will come for her. “How long did it take you to reach the pack?” “I traveled for two hours in wolf form.” “What direction did you travel?” “Why do you want all this information from me?” I raise my hand extending my claws. “If your dead you can’t help your mate.” “I traveled to the north as the witch directed. She located Maureen using some kind of black magic.” “Very good mutt. Now, we never had this conversation, am I clear?” He nods and lays back on the cot. I take a seat at the desk to wait until the next

be together but that f**king rogue had to show up. Troy doesn’t realize that the rogue I f**king killed was my mate. I would never accept the bond with a rogue. My wolf even agreed and I had no problem killing him. I felt nothing as I watched the light leave his eyes. I told the Alpha, he attacked me, so I had no choice but to defend myself. He is
