Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 96

30 New Alpha

Calliope POV

“What have you done, you ba**ard?” “What happened to you calling me Alpha?” “You are no Alpha. In fact, I challenge you for the Alpha title of the Crescent Moon Pack.” He laughs “you really want to do this, Calliope? That title means everything to me and I will never let you take it from me. I will show you no mercy.” “That feeling is very mutual Mateo.” He growls “very well.” “Calliope”, my mother says, and I turn toward her. “Don’t worry Jasmine, you will join her soon enough.” “I was going to tell her to kill you quickly. My daughter is the only true Alpha in this pack.” I can see the anger flash on his face, but he turns heading into the hallway. “Take Madison to the pack hospital”, I say to my mother and she nods. Benson follows me outside and most of the pack have gathered. My father is spewing lies about our betrayal against the Alpha and pack. Benson steps forward. “An Alpha challenge has been issued by Calliope Robison. This challenge is for the right to be the Alpha of the Crescent Moon. Challenger picks the fighting form as it is written in werewolf law”, Benson says, looking at me. “Wolf”, I say without hesitation. My father smiles because he has never seen my wolf and he thinks beating me will be easy. “He is about to find out what an Alpha wolf really looks like”, Aurora growls. Goddess, I love my wolf. “This is a fight to the death” my father says. The pack members look horrified that my father is willing to kill his own pup. “I accept the terms of the challenge.”

The pack steps back, giving us both room. My father shifts first and his wolf is impressive. I haven’t seen him since I was a child, but he is large with black fur and green eyes. I can see sympathy in the wolf’s eyes, despite my father. I know his wolf can’t back down from my challenge as an Alpha, but he is torn because I am his pup. I shift and the pack members gasp. Aurora is bigger than my father’s wolf and her red fur is magnificent. Benson smiles because he has seen her before when we trained. My father jumps at us and we easily side-step. “That ba**ard tried to attack us without a formal start”, Aurora says. “I expected nothing less. He will not fight fair to win this challenge, Aurora.” We start to circle each other and he snaps at me but never makes contact. “He is afraid I can feel it”, Aurora says. “He should be”, I say before we lunge forward. We swipe our claws across his chest, drawing first blood. He growls in warning, but it does nothing to stop my attacks. Aurora jumps landing on his back. She bites down into his shoulder and his wolf whimpers before he bucks us off. We are back on our feet facing him. We don’t give him time to get his bearings. Aurora rushes forward, clamping down on his front leg. The wolf cries out, but she refuses to let go. I can hear bones crunch and break as she bites down harder.

He scrambles to get back to his feet, but his mangled leg is making that impossible. As we stalk toward him, he shifts. “Calliope please. I’m your father. You can’t kill me.” I shift keeping my distance because no part of me trusts him. He smiles thinking that his pleas have saved him. “I believe the rules set by the old Alpha were to the death. You are no father of mine. The world will be a far better place without your evil a** in it.” I shift back and Aurora starts to close the distance. He shifts and tries to drag himself away, but this ends today. He has tried to hurt and kill

that has been working with Mateo is staring at his wolf’s body lying dead on the ground. “I didn’t think you had it in you little girl.” Aurora growls “I am far from a little girl. Mateo is dead. Your business here is done.” She laughs “I don’t take orders from little girls. I decide when my business is done. Honestly, I’ve never seen a red wolf before. I’m intrigued about what power you hold. What power I can take from you.” My mother and Benson step in front of me. I’m honored they want to protect me, but this witch is powerful. I can sense her power. She creates a black energy ball and before she can throw it, we shift, jumping in front of Benson and my mother. It strikes me and it is much stronger than the energy ball from the witch that was after Cayden. It doesn’t take us off our feet, but it does damage to our side. Aurora takes off toward the witch, who throws two more before we reach her. I know we are going down, but before the darkness consumes

what are we waiting for, let’s go.” Lily smiles “I take it you will be coming with me and Carter.” Before I can answer, Tony steps forward “we will be coming with you.” We head out into the yard and Lily starts to chant a spell opening a portal. We walk through and if I wasn’t worried about Calliope I would be amazed at her abilities. We are in an area surrounded by trees. I can scent the pack nearby. We start to move forward and there are no guards patrolling, which is definitely strange. We hear howling and my heart clenches in my chest. I’ll never forgive myself if anything happens to Calliope. Carter and Anthony grab my arms. “Slow down, let Lily lead us. We are no good to Calliope if we are dead.” I see pleading in Tony’s eyes and I don’t want to hurt my mate. We follow Lily and my heart breaks when I see a witch hit Aurora with two energy balls.

strong and she will come back to us after her strength returns. Most wolves would not have survived an attack from a dark magic witch of that b**ch’s power level, but Calliope isn’t most wolves. Oliver, take her to the pack hospital”, Lily says and I scoop her in my arms. “Calliope, I need my best friend so please wake up” I whisper into her ear as I carry her. We reach the hospital and I lay her on a gurney. The doctor smiles at me with sympathy in his eyes. “We will do all we can for the Alpha.” They push her through the double doors and I wrap Jasmine in my arms as she sobs. “She is strong and stubborn.” She
