Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 100

34 New Family

Hudson POV

I follow Cayden into the bar. Evelyn has her hand in mine as we pass the tables. She refused to remain at the cottage when Cayden received a telepathic message from Selma. I still don’t completely trust this woman. Cayden notices her first and heads to the table in the corner. She smiles when she sees Evelyn. I don’t know what to make of her, but Tyson and I will have no problem ripping her apart if she tries to hurt my family. “Hudson, I would never hurt Evelyn and Cayden. They are as much my family as they are yours.” Now I’m truly confused. We all take a seat at the table. Evelyn is studying the woman’s face. “Evelyn, are you alright” I link her. Before she can answer, the woman does. “She sees my brother’s likeness in me.” I growl and Evelyn places her hand on my forearm. “You’re Theo’s sister, aren’t you? You were a child when he died.” She smiles and nods. “You’re my aunt”, Cayden says with a smile. Tyson and I relax a little because she doesn’t feel like a threat right now. “Hudson, I promise you that I will never hurt any of you. Theo was important to me and his pups are all I have left of him. She looks at Cayden with sympathy and love in her eyes.

uncle kill your brother, his own nephew?” “My uncle is an old school warlock who believes in keeping the witch and warlock bloodline pure. He was angry with Theo for accepting Evelyn and for creating children with her. That ba**ard has no idea that I have the power to read minds. I have seen his past and what he plans for the future.” She reaches out and places her hand on Cayden’s. “I will never let him hurt you. He will meet a very nasty end if I have anything to say about it. I’m just waiting for the right time. He is strong and the coven is loyal to him.” ” I will help you end him” Cayden says and Evelyn stiffens. “Breathe love, we won’t let anything happen to Cayden”, I say

What I mean is, are you sure that Grant was truly your second chance mate?” Evelyn looks a bit panicked and I pull her onto my lap. She breaths in my scent before she turns back to Selma. “I felt the bond. I never questioned anything about our mating. I felt the tingles and the pull to Grant.” “Was he a member of your pack, Evelyn?” “No, he was a visiting Alpha. My father was our pack’s Alpha, but honestly, he was very angry with me for choosing Theo. I didn’t feel like his daughter after that. He wanted me to pick an Alpha wolf to mate with so they could take over our pack. He didn’t believe women could be Alphas.” I growl, what the hell is wrong with these men? Women bring life into this world, yet they can’t see their worth in leadership of their packs. “I totally agree Hudson” Selma says and winks at me. “Evelyn, I’m going to do a little snooping in my uncle’s mind to see if there is anything there about your mating with Grant.” Evelyn nods and I hold her tighter.

The Alpha

Eli POV

to attend a meeting. I don’t doubt the pack’s abilities, but I need to be here for Faith. Micah and Mason have taken their roles very seriously and I have no doubt they could handle things while I’m gone, but I have to protect my pup. “Dad, I can’t leave Faith with everything that is going on.” I see sympathy and understanding in his eyes. “Maybe you should reach out to Calliope and ask her if she would come here to meet with you about an alliance. Be honest with her about your reason for not attending the meeting. Most of the other packs that are attending are already aligned with the Nightfire. Based on what Lily said, she is nothing like her father and an amazing leader for her pack.” “I would definitely feel more comfortable about meeting her here until we find out why the vampires keep attacking.” “No one has been injured and that speaks volumes to the training the warriors are receiving.” I smile because it makes me happy that my dad thinks I’m doing a good job as Alpha. “I’m going to leave you to your

phone placing it in my pocket. My parents have Faith in the pack garden, so I head downstairs. When I reach the bottom of the stairs, a group of people are coming out of the dining room. “Alpha” I hear as I head for the door. I turn to see Susan walking toward me. “What can I help with Susan?” “I just wanted to see how you were doing?” “I’m good, thank you for your concern.” “Alpha, we were friends once. I care about you and I just wanted to make sure you’re alright.” “I am fine, have a good day, Susan.” I make my way to the garden and Faith is crawling around. My father notices me and I smile. The phone rings in my pocket and I swipe to connect the call. I place the phone to my ear and take a seat on the bench to watch my family while I take the call. “Alpha Eli” I say. “Hello Alpha, this is Alpha Calliope of the Crescent Moon. My Beta said you were trying to reach me. I hope you still plan on attending the Alpha meeting.” “Actually, that’s why I’m calling. I’m having some issues with vampire attacks and with my pup being so young, I don’t feel comfortable leaving my

in two days if that works for you, Alpha Eli.” “Yes, that is perfect. I will let my men know to expect you. Please feel free to bring your ranked wolves.” “We will see you soon” she says and the call disconnects. I put my phone back into my pocket and sit on the ground near my daughter. She crawls to me and I put her on my lap, kissing her head. “How did your phone call go, Eli” my father asks. “Alpha Calliope will be here in two days to meet about an alliance.” My father nods and we spend some time just playing with Faith. I love these moments when I’m not in Alpha mode. I’m just a dad. It doesn’t last long when I get a frantic link from Larisa. “Eli, I need you and Aunt Lily near the lake.” I link
