Betrayed by My Beta Mate Chapter 88

22 Pain

Clara POV

As soon as Cayden breaks the link, I rush to Eli’s office. The fear I feel after my brother cut the link is making it hard to breathe. I don’t even knock when I reach the door. My mother rushes in behind me and the sight of my mate lying motionless nearly does me in. She grips my arm to steady me. “He’s breathing, Clara” she says to reassure me. I focus on the fact I need to make sure my mate is alright and find out where the hell Cayden went. I can’t fall apart right now. I have to be strong. I bend down and place my hands on Eli’s face. “Eli, please wake up.” I bury my head in his neck, praying that my scent will bring him back to me. I feel two strong arms wrap around me. I feel a momentary spark of relief knowing that Eli is here with me. I pull back and he smiles. As quick as the smile came it fades. “What happened Eli?” He starts to try to stand and my mother and I help him to his feet. We lead him to the couch that sits under the bay window. He takes my hand in his. “Cayden is gone” he says. My heart starts to beat faster and I feel sick to my stomach.

“Clara, what’s wrong” she asks. “I need you to come to the office please”, I say and I’m sure she can hear the panic in my voice. I never thought I would see Cayden again and now he has gone back to the wolves’ den without a word. I’m scared and angry at the same time. Lily appears and I stand walking toward her. “Lily, I need you to take me to the Black Mountain Collective.” A growl sounds from behind me. “That will not be happening.” I turn on Eli and his eyes are black. “I can’t let him deal with those evil ba**ards alone. I should be there with him. It was us that they tortured for all those years. He is still trying to protect me.” The tears I’m trying to hold back begin to run down my cheeks. Eli comes to stand in front of me. “Clara, I know how strong you are, but our pup is growing in your belly. I need you both to be safe. Please let me handle this. I will do everything in my power to bring Cayden back safely.” I look at my mother and I can see she agrees with Eli. I know that they are both right, but I can’t just sit here and do nothing. He pulls me into his arms. “Clara, our mate will help Cayden. We need to keep our pup safe” Cora says. I manage to stop the tears. “Eli, I need you to come back to me.” “I will always come back to you, Clara.” He pulls back and presses a kiss to my lips before he bends

I push those thoughts away because I need to focus on the evil in front of me. I approach the cottage that I was taken to before I escaped. “Be careful, Cayden. Something doesn’t feel right”, Riggs says. Before I can even respond, I feel a pain in my back. It feels like all the air was

I hear growls from behind me and I know that more of his men have surrounded me. “It seems that Grant will get his wish after all mutt. I should have killed you and your b**ch of a sister when you were just pups.” I feel a calm wash over me. “Cayden, it’s time. Focus and the magic will do the rest,” I hear my father’s voice. I open my arms and all my thoughts are about ending this collective. When I look back at Franklin, I see fear in his eyes. The men start moving toward me when the

We slow down and stalk forward making sure he doesn’t attack us first. I have no idea if Lydia came back for this a**hole. I catch his scent and move forward. He is hiding like a rodent in the tall grass. I wave my hand and the grass disappears. “Cayden, I can help you get revenge on that ba**ard Grant for what he did
