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.”

can expect for your betrayal.” I rush to my feet and growl. I’m just about to charge him when he smiles. “I wouldn’t if I were you. If I don’t return, Simone has orders to kill that b**ch.” I breathe getting 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 into his pocket and pulling out a vial. Its contents are a shimmering purple liquid. He pops the top and downs the liquid.

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

but it was weaker. Simone was able to procure a spell that shielded us from detection. She also gave me two vials. I 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 you or I would snap your neck right here.” I expect tears to stream down her face, but she just stares back at me even when I push my aura forward. What

nasty and, without medical attention, could last for a long time.” “F**k you Mateo” she spits with all the venom she can muster. “No thank you, the omegas are far better. In fact, let me show you.” I open the cell door, throwing my daughter inside. I grab Jasmine before 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 to the room

cheek. She pulls away and I grab her chin roughly. “If you had been a good Luna none of this would be happening.” She chuckles only pissing me off further. “Something to say” I ask releasing her chin. “In order to be a good Luna, you need to be mated to a real Alpha.” I see red and lose control. I smack her across the 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
