Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 76

10 Unexpected Visit

Cayden POV

I open my eyes and I’m in a room like I’ve never seen before. The walls are clean and white. The bed I’m lying on feels amazing. I sit up and notice that all the pain I had earlier is gone. I must be dead and honestly it’s a relief. I pray that Clara found a safe place and will be happy. I don’t even know how I helped Clara escape. It was like it wasn’t even me that helped Clara. The door opens to the room and I stand expecting to see the goddess. I’m confused when a man I’ve never seen walks in. For the first time in a long time, I feel my wolf. “Cayden, don’t be afraid. Everything will be clear soon” Riggs says. Before I can respond to him, the man speaks. “Cayden, it is so good to see you.” “I don’t mean to sound rude but who are you?” “It will be easier to show you than to tell you.” He sticks out his hand and I take it. Images begin to flash through my mind.

he places his hand over it. “I can’t wait to meet our pups, love. It’s hard to believe it will be happening in just two months.” He kisses her before they head for the door. The image fades and a new one replaces it. The same man is sitting in an office with an older man that has his features. “This is not right Theo. She is not a witch. You are polluting the magical bloodline by mating with a mutt” the older man says. “Uncle, do you believe that you know better than the goddess herself? I would suggest you never speak of Evelyn that way again.” “Don’t challenge my authority, Theodore. I am the leader of this coven and you will follow my orders without question.” “She is carrying my children and she is mine. I will gladly leave the coven for her. You can find someone else to follow your orders.” The anger on the older man’s face is unmistakable. He stands “the only way you will leave this coven, Theodore, is to meet the goddess, so make your choice.” The younger man attempts to stand to defend himself but the older man shoots something from

Alpha. I see pain on her face and then they appear in the hospital. She is in labor and her screams fill the room. A few moments later, the pups are rushed from the room. Instead of screams of pain, the woman is screaming for her pups. The Alpha appears and two familiar people are with

mother?” He smiles “yes that beautiful woman is you and Clara’s mother.” Realization of who this man is to me finally sinks in. “You’re our father. So I am dead.” He smiles “no my son. You are very much alive. The goddess has granted me this moment to meet you and give you the information you will need to make things right.” “Have you visited Clara?” I see sadness cross his features. “Did something happen to Clara? Please tell me that all I did was not in vain.” “What you did was amazing. Your sister is alive and, despite what the future may hold, she is happy.” “What does that mean? Is something going to happen Clara?” “Cayden, the only thing that I can tell you is that whatever happens was meant to be and you will need to be there for the gift she

on their own. I feel like I’m floating for a moment before everything stills. I manage to force my eyes open again and I’m in a dirty room. It’s not the cell, but it’s nothing like the room I was just in. I hear the key turn in the lock and the door opens. “How do you feel boy,” the witch says. I don’t answer her. “You could act a little grateful. I’m the only reason you’re still alive.” “Let me out to kill that b**ch” Riggs growls. This is the strongest we

stand with my parents, Clara seems anxious. I’m sure being around all these people isn’t easy for her, but this seems different. She seems distracted and both Silas and I are concerned. “We want to thank you all for coming to the Nightfire pack for this celebration. I’m sure you’re all wondering what we invited you here to celebrate.” Everyone laughs and nods at my father. “We decided to have this ball to announce that our son Eli has found his mate.” He holds out his hand to Clara and I lead her to him. I stand on the other side of her. “This is the future Luna of the Nightfire pack, Clara.” Applause fills the room and I squeeze her hand. She smiles but I can see she is nervous. I lean in “I’m here with you. You are doing amazing.” She kisses my cheek and we look back at the crowd.

“I don’t know exactly but Cora and I feel anxious around her.” “She has always been very kind when I have been around her. Do you want me to ask her and Alpha Grant to leave?” “Of course not, she has done nothing wrong. I’m sure she is a lovely woman.” She smiles and I lean down kissing her lips softly.
