Betrayed by My Beta Mate

31 Third Times A Charm

Cayden POV

I’m sitting in a supernatural bar in neutral territory. I can scent warlocks, wolves, vampires, and fae. I haven’t been able to find that b**ch despite how hard I’ve tried. I will not return to the pack until she has paid for all she did to Clara. I can’t bring her back to me, but I can make sure that justice is served. When I learned of this place, I was hopeful that someone would have information that could lead me in the right direction. My mother wanted to come but I convinced her I would do better alone. “What will you have hot stuff,” a pretty vampire says from behind the bar. “A werebeer please”, I say and she winks. A few minutes later, she sets my beer down in front of me and serves someone else. As I take a sip, I feel like I’m being watched. I turn in my seat, looking around the bar. I notice a pretty woman around my mother’s age with long white hair sitting alone in the corner staring at me. When she realizes I’m looking at her she smiles and waves. I’m confused but I get up and walk toward her table anyway. “What the hell are you going to say to her,” Riggs asks. “I really hadn’t thought that far ahead.” “Hello Cayden”, she says and I’m even more confused. I’ve never seen this woman how could she know my name. “Please sit, I am no threat to you”, she says. I sit across from her. “How do you know my name?” “It’s one of my many powers.” “You can guess people’s names” I say and she laughs. “No, I can see your past.” I stiffen at her words.

that don’t deserve it, but I have no problem making someone suffer that deserves it. Everything in our world is not as black and white as most would like to think.” “So, you don’t want anything to help me find that evil witch.” She smiles “let’s just say I have my reasons for helping you, but you will owe

her, but I know we have never met her.” “I agree, I just don’t understand why she is so willing to help us.” A hand on mine brings me out of my conversation with Riggs. My eyes

Evelyn POV

needs help. He has been gone for two hours and I can’t clean the cottage anymore. I take a shower and make myself a cup of tea. I put my hair in a messy bun and head out onto the porch. Sadie has been very quiet since we lost Clara. She shifted so we could run with Cayden, but other than that she hasn’t spoken to me. “Sadie, I miss you.” There is silence for a few minutes. “I’m sorry Evelyn. I felt so broken and I was selfish. I worried about my own grief and I abandoned you when you needed me the most.” “Sadie, I love you and you’re here now. That is what matters. We will get through this together. We have Cayden and the pack. We are strong and we need to be there for them both.” The phone rings in my pocket and I take it out feeling relief when Cayden’s name flashes on the screen. “Cayden are you alright”, I

and Sadie is growling in my mind. I make my way to the door, keeping my eyes toward the darkness. A low growl makes bile rise in my throat. The scent is stronger and everything in me wants to scream. This can’t be happening. It isn’t possible. Could the goddess be giving

“I’m not really the messenger type. You will go back with me as soon as your son returns.” “No one will hurt my pup” I say as I shift into Sadie. I jump off the porch and land in front of this wall of a man. Sadie growls and he laughs. That just pisses me off and we jump toward him. He catches my wolf and I feel his body stiffen. “He feels the tingles” Sadie says. He sets us down and we back away from him. Once we shift, he is staring at me with confusion and wonder. “Evelyn” is all he manages to say before he is thrown against the tree by some invisible force. Cayden steps out of the trees and hands me his shirt which I slip over my head. It’s long enough to be a dress. He

I try not to stare at this beautiful man that is large all over. I turn and Cayden throws him a pair of shorts. Before I can turn back, I’m lifted into strong arms. Tingles erupt all over my skin and he buries his head in the crook of my neck. “What is your name mate?” He pulls back with shock on his face. “Did you just call me mate even knowing why I came here?” I smile and place a hand on his cheek. I hear the cottage door close and I’m grateful that Cayden went inside. “I’m not happy that we met because you were trying
