Betrayed by My Beta Mate Chapter 52

52 Warlocks Among Us

Pheobe POV

“Mother” I say as I wrap her in my arms. She rubs her hand down my hair, “I’m alright, I’m here princess. I’m so sorry” she starts to say. I feel like I could break at the tremble in her voice. “You have nothing to be sorry for. You were protecting me and I know that now. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that before all this happened.” She pushes me back gently and sweeps the hair from my face. “You, my lovely daughter, have nothing to be sorry for. I’m so proud of you for standing up for what was right when I was too weak to.” I wipe the tears that stain her cheeks. “You are anything but weak mother. I saw what he did to you and I’m sorry that I wasn’t there to protect you.” “Let’s not focus on the past. We need to focus on what’s coming so that you can stop your brother.” I hear a growl and my mother looks over my shoulder. She pushes herself up in bed and I move to the side so she can see. “Mother, this is my beloved, Michael” I say as I reach out my hand for him to take it. “Well Michael, its lovely to meet you. I would say you, better treat my daughter well, but I don’t think I need to.” “No, you don’t, she is my world and I would die for her.” My mother nods and takes Michael’s hand. “She is very lucky to have been blessed with such a wonderful beloved.” “Thank you” he says and steps back taking my hand again.

“Mother, I would like you to meet the rest of our family. Lincoln and Amelia are the Alpha and Luna of the Nightfire pack. Lily is the Gamma female and her mate, Neal, is the Gamma. He is on patrol right now but you’ll meet him later.” “What are you to the pack Michael,” she says with a smile. “I am the Beta of the pack.” She turns to me, “which makes you the Beta Female.” I nod “congratulations princess for finding your place.” “You’re not upset that I won’t be returning to the coven when all this is over.” “Would I love to have you with me every day, absolutely but your place is here with your mate.” I hug her again holding her tightly. “Besides once Lucas has been dealt with you and Michael will come to see me often at the coven.” “Yes, we will” Michael says and I chuckle. I pull back and for the first time since she woke up, I see concern on my mother’s face. “What’s wrong mother,” I ask while I look her over. “Leland has put himself in danger.” I smile knowing that she cares for him as much as he did for her. “Leland the second in command and your beloved.” She looks shocked by my words. She places her hand on her marking spot. “If Lucas realizes what he is and what he has done to help me, he will kill him. I can’t lose him, Pheobe.” “We will get him back, mother.”

Leland POV

of that pack after marking her was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Lucas summons me and I pray I can keep myself under control. I take a deep breath before I walk into the office. I don’t even want to look at him but I do to keep up appearances. As I listen to him speak about Teresa, it is all I can do not to attempt to kill him right now. If I knew I was strong enough, I absolutely would. I know Lucas is magically stronger than me and I will not risk never seeing Teresa again. She has lost enough at this monster’s hands. Once he orders me to take warlocks to scope out the pack, I’m hopeful this is an opportunity for me. I head downstairs and to the meeting

I smile. “The plan is I’m about to be caught by the pack and you’re going to take these a**holes back to the coven.” “Leland how do you know they won’t kill you before you can explain yourself.” “I’ll just have to pray the goddess keeps me safe. You just make sure you let me know the minute they leave the coven for the attack and keep yourself safe.” “How do you want me to explain that we weren’t able to fight off wolves?” “Don’t

Lance POV

when they arrive. “Lance, what the f**k happened here” Jameson says as he approaches me, followed by the other men. “We were attacked by the wolves and they managed to take my brother.” “How is that possible with our powers” he asks. “There was witches with them and we weren’t prepared for that. She is powerful and now he is gone.” They start to walk toward the border. “No, if we have any hope of saving my brother, we need the warriors from the coven with us. We need to go now and report everything to Lucas” I say and thankfully, they don’t fight me. We all teleport back in front of the mansion. “Go ready the others for the battle”, I say and Jameson leads the men away. I take a deep breath before I head up to Lucas’s office. I know what he is capable of if he suspects that I’m being

says like a question. “No, I’ve never seen these witches before.” “The two of them were powerful and managed to stop both of our attacks.” He slams his fist down on the desk. “That b**ch thinks that she can take my men and help those mutts.” He looks to me “you can’t wallow in what you have lost Lance. Loss is part of war. We will make them pay for what they have done to Leland.” “Thank you, sir” I say. “We will attack tomorrow at dusk, so make sure the men are ready.” “Yes sir”, I say before I leave the office. I head back to my room before I go to meet with the men. I try to reach out to Leland but I can’t. It’s like there is a block between us. What the f**k Leland? You want me to let you know what’s happening but I can’t reach you. I start
