Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 126

59 The Coward Earlier That Day

Jasmine POV

We just finished training and I’m running in wolf form through the woods. As I weave in and out of the trees, I think about how much my life has changed since I left Mateo. Calliope was the only happiness I truly had during that time. I never thought about being Alpha but my daughter was right. I love that the pack knows I will do everything in my power to rule fairly and protect them. Meeting Leo was just icing on my happiness cake. My wolf makes a sound of laughter at my thoughts. Leo is soft and kind. He helps me with my duties and, honestly, his care for the pack is astounding sometimes. I laugh at our last conversation where he referred to himself as my Luna. He is my mate and I couldn’t be more grateful to the goddess for him. Coralee slowing down catches my attention. She growls and a woman my age is standing in front of us with a girl who can’t be eighteen. The young girl is definitely wolf but the other woman is witch. I shift and the woman smirks at me. “What is your business in my territory?” “Alpha Jasmine, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. I appreciate a fellow woman in a position of power.” “I’m not sure I can say the same until you tell me why you have come into territory without permission.” She laughs and a cold shiver goes down my spine. I try to link Oliver and Tony but I’m met with a wall. “Don’t bother you won’t get through” she says and I feel a sense of dread overtake me.

a choice to make. You can come willingly or I can inject you with wolfsbane that may kill the pup growing in your womb. You will lose both of your pups today instead of just one.” Bile rises in my throat as her words cut into my soul. I had no idea that I was pregnant but I can’t even feel the excitement knowing that I may lose the pup. I can’t lose either of my pups. She must realize the fight has left me. She turns to the young girl and begins to chant. She waves her hands and the girl becomes an exact replica of me. She hands her a vial with a bright red liquid swirling in it. “You know what is at stake if you fail your Alpha” the witch says and the young girl nods. She looks just as broken

sees you.” The door opens and there is child that can only be eight years old lying on the bed. He is sobbing and my heart squeezes in my chest. I rush over to check him for injury. “He isn’t hurt but he hasn’t stopped crying since I put him in here” the witch says. “She took my sister” he manages to squeak out. I look back in time to see the witch roll her eyes and head for the door. “Oh, and don’t think about trying to escape. The cottage is enchanted” is the last thing she says before the door is shut and locked. Goddess, I pray that whatever she has planned doesn’t work. I rub circles on the boy’s back and he finally manages to quiet down. “What is your name?” “My name is Felix. What is your name” he asks and I smile. “My name is Jasmine. Where are your parents, Felix?” He drops his gaze before he finally answers me. “Me and Anna are orphans. Our parents were killed by rogues when I was a baby. It’s just me and Anna now. The Alpha came to the orphanage yesterday and I thought maybe we were going to get a real home but I ended up here. The witch took Anna away” he says as his voice cracks. Goddess, I hope these ba**ards suffer for all they have planned. I can tell that he is exhausted. “Felix,

of vampires join us from the east. Grant’s confident look falters for a moment before schools his expression. “I see you or no son of Allistar’s to stand beside this pack that killed him in cold blood” he yells at Magnum. I’m grateful to see he stands taller and doesn’t give Grant the response he is looking for. Evelyn shifts and comes to stand next to me before her true mate joins her. Grant looks between them and his eyes turn black. “I’ve come for my Luna and I will slaughter all of you to get her” Grant says

they can hit even one of the mutts. It’s not possible. I notice the witch standing with her arms held high as the wolves start to advance toward us. The f**king witch can only be eighteen. How the f**k is she so strong? Just as the thought pops into my head the potion summons me. I don’t even look Grant’s way as I disappear. I reappear in a room and I smile at the sight before me. Alpha Jasmine’s figure is holding a knife to her daughter’s neck. “It’s nice to finally meet you, Calliope.” If looks could kill I would be dead. I smile at her resolve to stay strong.
