Betrayed by My Beta Mate Chapter 58

58 Accept Him

Pheobe POV

We appear in front of the mansion that I hoped I would never see again. A mansion that held fear and pain for a long time. I hope that all that is behind us now and it will be a place of happiness. Michael lays a kiss on my forehead and I smile. I’m just about to ask him about what happened earlier when the others appear. The mansion door opens and coven members begin to file out. Some look concerned and others look relieved. Leland looks at me and I nod. Leland and my mother are the coven leaders and he needs to make that clear today. He takes my mother’s hand and faces the coven members. “Lucas Williams is no more. As decreed by Pheobe Williams, I, Leland Stone, with my beloved Teresa Stone are now the coven leaders.” I hear gasps from the coven as they look at my mother. I haven’t seen the smile my mother is wearing since Lucas took my father from us. “This coven will be at peace and all of its members will be one. We are no longer two covens joined by evil force. We are one coven, the Blue Rose Coven. If any of you don’t agree, now is your time to speak.” I look around and honestly, I’m in shock. Every witch and warlock bows in respect. They show their magical signature before their new leaders and they are all light.

“We will be meeting with each of you to discuss your ranks and roles in the coven going forward” my mother says. They all stand nodding their agreement. “Thank you for your loyalty to the coven and to us. You are all dismissed”, Leland says. After a few minutes, the courtyard is empty. My mother walks over to me and wraps her arms around me. “Thank you for being so strong and good, Pheobe. You are the best thing I have ever done. If your father was alive, he would be as proud as I am of you.” I can feel the tears as they run down my cheeks, landing on her shoulder. I open my mind, allowing my mother to hear my thoughts. All these years, I really believed that my mother loved Lucas more than me. That I was a disappointment because I wasn’t a fierce black magic witch. “I have always loved you and I have always been proud of you. You were never meant to be black magic. I knew that the moment you were born. Fierce doesn’t even begin to describe you sweetheart”, she whispers in my ear. I pull back and she wipes the tears from my eyes. “I love you, Pheobe.” “I love you, mom.” When she steps back, Leland looks to Michael for permission. He nods and Leland wraps me in a hug. “Thank you, Pheobe for being so strong.” “You don’t need to thank me, just take good care of my mother and treat her as an equal.” “I always will.”

I don’t feel Lance’s magic, but I remain hopeful. I pray that my brother did not kill Lance. A meow brings me out of my thoughts. I turn and a beautiful white cat is sitting on the stairs. I pick her up, holding her in my arms. That’s when I realize that she is really a he. I rub my hand down his head and he purrs at my touch. He snuggles into my arms and looks up at me with beautiful blue eyes. “You’re a beautiful cat.” He jumps out of my arms and heads upstairs. I turn back and Leland is heading back toward us. “He isn’t here. What if he” my mother stops his words by taking his hand. “Don’t think like that. Let’s go look through all the rooms in the mansion. Hopefully he has him in one of the rooms.” Michael joins us and we start back upstairs. We begin on the first floor, going room to room. We reach

deal he made with Leland. We head down to the floor that Leland shared with Lance. Lucas allowed Leland to keep his brother close. Probably one of the only

Maureen POV

in heat as she tries to push to the surface. I tamper down her lust so I can focus. “You better accept our mate, he was made for us.” I ignore her and I feel him slide his hand into mine. “I meant what I said Maureen. You are my beloved and I will protect and love you for the rest of my life.” “I’m sure you have already figured out that I don’t come alone John.” He smiles “I will love that little girl like she is my own flesh and blood.” “My mother” I say as a joke but he shocks me. “Your mother is my family now and I know that she is protecting her daughter when she is harsh.” I smile at his words. Every part of me wants to believe him and accept this bond. Losing my first mate almost killed me. “What if” I start to say to Clarice in my mind.

body and I feel my knees go weak. He wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me against him. Am I really doing this right now? “Hell, yes you are. Stop worrying and accept our mate” Clarice growls. I pull back when we are both breathless. I walk over to the door. “Maureen where” he says. I open it and my mother is standing there. “Go, I’ll take care of Penny.” I rush in, kissing her cheek before I go back out to John, who looks like he won the lottery. I offer him my hand

didn’t based on his behavior. “I just wanted to check on you John. I heard about the warlocks coming and the battle. Are you alright?” “I’m better than alright.” He turns to me “this is my beloved Maureen.” I see a look flash across her face but it’s gone as quickly as it came. She walks toward me sticking out her hand. “My name is Clarissa, I’m a friend of John’s. It’s very nice to meet you. Congratulations on finding your mate.” “Thank you, Clarissa.” “Well, I guess I should be going. I’ll see you
