Betrayed by My Beta Mate

28 It’s Not A Dream

Calliope POV

Every time I have tried to talk to Aurora about the pup in our vision, she sounds like a fortune cookie. “You’ll know soon enough but the road to happiness with our pup and mate won’t be easy.” I’ve stopped asking but the pup plagues my dreams. A knock on the door gets my attention. “Calliope, breakfast is ready”, my mother says. I head to the bathroom to shower and get ready for training before I have breakfast. When I walk into the kitchen, my heart sinks. My father is sitting at the table. This isn’t possible, it has to be a bad dream. “It’s not a dream, Calliope. He is here in the flesh”, Aurora says. “Let me kill him and wipe that smug look off his face”, Aurora says. “We need to find out where mom is before we do anything.” I feel bile rise in my throat. “Good morning, daughter” he says with the evilist grin on his face. “How,” I ask. How could they possibly get through the protection spell undetected? “Where is my mother?” “Oh, don’t worry, she is still alive for now. If she stays that way is up to you.” I growl “if you hurt my mother, I will rip your head from your body.” He laughs “always thinking your something you’re not.” He stands walking toward me and I try to step back. He grabs my chin firmly “this is why you, a weak female, could never beat an Alpha like me. You think with your heart” he says, poking me in the chest. “Women are good for one thing and you will learn your place is to please the man I choose for you and bare his pups. You will learn it even if I have to beat you into submission.”

myself under control. “Now you’re going to go with me quietly or your mother is dead.” “You think you can just walk through the collective and no one will notice or stop you.” He smiles reaching

first. “Cali, do you want to come play with us?” I bend down so I’m at her eye level. “I would love to, but we need to go to training. Later we can watch a movie, alright?” She smiles and starts back toward her friends. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back for her and her sl*t of a mother. She was given to me by the goddess and I plan to have what is mine.” Aurora is pushing to the surface when I feel a pinch in my arm. I pull away and notice he him putting a syringe in his pocket. “What the f**k did you just give me?” “Don’t worry Cali, it’s a little wolfsbane to keep your wolf in check.” “Don’t call me Cali, we are not friends” I snap at him. “That mouth will be the first thing I deal with when I get you back to the pack.” I roll my eyes and start to walk toward the trees. I can’t reach Aurora and I can’t risk trying to reach Lily until I know where my mother has been taken. We reach the border and are approached by a wolf who bears his neck to Carter. I want to scream, don’t you realize his scent is different, but the wolf just moves on. We leave the collective and I say prayer to the goddess keep me and my mother

Alpha Mateo POV

drank the first. When we arrived at the cottage where I can scent my ex-mate, we head inside. I walk into the kitchen where she is standing at the counter cooking. “It smells delicious mate.” She turns so slowly, it’s almost comical. “Mateo” she says, and I can see she is about to scream when Simone silences her. “No yelling for help Jasmine. Aren’t you happy to see your mate?” She shakes her head vigorously and that just pisses me off. I walk over, grabbing her by the throat. “You’re lucky I have plans for

she can even attempt to stop me. I close the door locking it. “Don’t worry Calliope, I won’t kill her yet.” I drag Jasmine up the stairs

face, knocking her off the chair. She looks up at me with anger, not fear. I reach down, grabbing her by the neck. “I’m not sure what you think, but make no mistake, you are not leaving this pack alive.” This time I pull back, punching her in the face. She goes limp and I drop her to the floor. I link Benson, my new Beta, to come to my room. When he arrives, he looks at Jasmine lying unconscious on the floor. “Take her to the cells but make sure she is not put in with Calliope.” “Alpha” he says my name like a question. “I would follow orders, or you can join them.” “Yes Alpha”, he says as he scoops her into his arms. Once she is gone, I smile to myself. It’s time to take back what should have been mine from the beginning. My wolf stirs hearing me talk about Abigale. He has been quiet and refused to shift until he gets what he wants. “I want her Mateo.” “I know, we will have her. She will be our mistress and we will find a strong Luna
