Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 109

43 NEW MATE

Cayden POV

The door flies open before my hand even reaches the handle. I’m staring into the most beautiful green eyes I’ve ever seen. Her long red hair frames her beautiful face. She smiles and my heart squeezes in my chest. Riggs is growling and pacing. “Mate” she says and her smile is enough to make me weak in the knees. “Mate” I say and pull her to me. Riggs wants me to take her right now and make her ours, but we need to focus on Selma. She was helping us and now she is in danger because of it. “I would love nothing more than to take you upstairs and make you mine, but I can’t right now.” She pulls back and I see hurt flash in her eyes. Riggs whimpers and I place my hand on her face. “My aunt is in danger and I need to help her. As soon as she is back safely, I will show you how much I want you, mate.” She smiles and we step inside the room. I’m shocked to see Calliope standing across the room. I haven’t seen her since I left the collective to find Clara. Her eyes land on me and she smiles. “Calliope, I didn’t expect to see you here.” Before she can answer, the door to the dining room opens and my mother walks in with Hudson. I hand linked her on my way to the dining room that I needed her to meet me here. “What’s wrong, Cayden” my mother says. “That ba**ard has Selma and he knows about Faith.” I hear two growls behind me and turn to see Eli and Calliope’s eyes are black. “No one will hurt my pup” Eli says and I nod. I’m shocked when he pulls Calliope into his arms and buries his nose in her neck. I turn back to my mother and her expression is unreadable as she stares at Calliope and Eli.

past me causing goosebumps to form on my skin. The scent of my mate intensifies. My eyes darken at how intense and different her scent is now. “I’m more than a wolf mate.

and notice that Eli is holding Faith but she is reaching for Calliope. I watch as she takes Faith in her arms and she snuggles into Calliope. My heart squeezes in my chest. I’m not angry that Eli has found his second chance or that Calliope has found her first. Just in the little time I spent with Calliope, I know she is strong and kind. I’m sad that Clara won’t get the chance to hold Faith or watch her grow. Calliope walks toward me and she places Faith in my arms. She squeezes my arm and looks into my eyes. “She will always know who her mother is. My wolf and I have accepted her as our own pup, but that doesn’t mean I will replace the woman that gave her life. I promise you that.” I feel my mother walking around me and coming to stand in front of Calliope. She pulls Calliope into a hug and I can feel a tear running down my cheek. Her wolf accepted my niece and I’m sure that Clara would want Faith to have a

cell. I know he didn’t do this alone. He could never take me out by himself. That’s why he hasn’t tried. The coven members may be loyal to him, but that doesn’t mean they would help him hurt me. That a**hole that wants to take me as a chosen beloved helped him. The door opens and I see Octavius first before I see that a**hat Bryer. “I’m glad to see your awake kitten.” He did not just call me that. “Don’t call me that d*ckhead.” I see a flash of anger before it turns into a smirk. “I will call you whatever I want to kitten. You belong to me now. Once the injection we gave you has taken hold and suppressed your powers, you will be mine whether you want to or not. You won’t be human, but you will be much weaker than me.” I look down at my arms and that’s when I notice it. A puncture wound in the bend of my arm. I touch it with my finger and bile rises in my throat. I look back at them and Bryer is smiling like he has won and right now I’m not sure if he is wrong. “So that mutt your brother produced may be dead but she had a pup”, Octavius says as a statement not a question. I keep my face even not responding to his statement. “I don’t need you to tell me, Selma, because I have already confirmed it. You would be surprised how many wolves will talk when promises of power

feel heavy and I know whatever they forced into my body is taking affect. I feel weak and tired. I can’t keep my eyes open and I allow the darkness to take me under. “Selma, wake up. We don’t have time for you to sleep.” I try to force my eyes open but I can’t. The voice sounds familiar but I can’t place it. It’s definitely not my uncle or that f**ker Bryer. “Selma, this is not the strong woman I know you are.” I’m finally able to open my eyes and when I look around,
