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.

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

I will make sure of it. I drop the orb and he shifts running for the trees that surround the collective. “He will not get away from us”, Riggs says. I shift and Riggs runs as fast as he can toward the trees. 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
