Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Eli POV

Silas runs as fast as our legs can carry us back to the pack house. I need to wrap Calliope in my arms. I know that she is safe but I need to see her. As soon as we reach it, we shift. I pull on shorts and rush through the door. I take the steps two at a time until I reach our wing. I throw the door open and I feel my shoulders relax when I see Calliope, Faith, Penny, and Jasmine sitting in the kitchen. I notice the girl the witch used and a young boy are sitting on the couch in our living room. Calliope is on her feet and around the couch as soon as she seems me. She jumps in my arms before I can even ask questions and, honestly, holding her is all I care about right now. I bury my head in her neck and breathe in her enhanced scent. A mix of hers and our pups surround me. I’m instantly calmed and at peace. When we finally release each other, Calliope leads me over to the love seat. I pull her onto my lap. “I’m going to take Faith and lay her down”, Penny says, giving us a few minutes alone. She must know that Cayden is safe or I’m sure she would be running out of here just as any of us would for our mates. I pray that Evelyn makes that ba**ard suffer. Jasmine sits on the couch nearest us and smiles at me. “Calliope told me the good news. I’m so happy you two are having another pup.” “Thank you, Jasmine. I’m glad that Lily and Selma were able to get you away from the witch safely. It’s a good thing your daughter knows you so well or we might not have realized it in time.” I notice the young girl’s eyes fill with shame. Jasmine must notice it too. She looks at the girl with sympathy. “Anna and Felix, I want you to meet Alpha Eli.” They both stand and bear their necks to me. “It’s very nice to meet you both. Anna, no one is angry with you for what happened. We all would have made the same choice.”

them. Their parents were killed when Felix was a baby and Grant took them from the orphanage because he knew no one would be looking for them” Calliope says. Silas tries to push forward and growl but I don’t want him to scare them. “Of course, Anna had no choice in what she had to do. Grant and that witch are the only ones to blame. You or I would do anything to protect our family,” I link her back. “Is the witch in the cells” I link Lily. “Yes, she is Eli. I told her that the Alpha will

be checking my face for any sign of deceit. “It isn’t possible” she spits out with all the venom she can muster. “You are never leaving this cell. That ba**ard you came with is probably dead by now, not that he would rescue you. He is so delusional that he sacrificed his own pack. You aren’t important to him.” “F**k you, just kill me already.” I laugh “I

your Luna as long as I don’t have to wear a dress”, he says, and we all burst out laughing. I wrap my arms around his middle and he kisses my head. “You and I will be Alphas if there are any wolves left to live in the pack after Eli finishes with them.” I pull back and look at Cayden. “That means some day that you will become Alpha if you want to Cayden. I won’t force you to but you are my oldest child.” He smiles “I love that you want that for me, mom, but I don’t want to be Alpha. I just want to be a warrior, have my mate, and some pups.” I nod and Grant’s words come back to me. Without thinking about it, my

pregnant.” Hudson’s eyes get big before he drops to his knees. He places his head against my belly and wraps his arms around my waist. After a few seconds, he stands up and I can see excitement in his eyes. “I can hear the heartbeat.” He lifts me and I wrap my legs around his waist. He kisses me, pouring all of his love into the kiss. “I’m still here”, Cayden says, and I chuckle against his lips. Hudson lowers me to the floor and Cayden wraps me in a hug. “Congratulations, I can’t wait to be a big brother.” I hear the pain in his voice. I know he is happy for us but he is thinking about Clare. He still carries guilt that he shouldn’t. “We better get back” he says as he releases me. “Hudson, can I talk to Cayden alone for a moment?” He kisses me before he heads for the door.
