Betrayed by My Beta Mate Chapter 116

50 No More Mark

Selma POV

After we discussed everything that happened Luna Amelia showed me to a room across from Bryson. I could tell that Cayden doesn’t trust Bryson completely, but in my heart, I know he is nothing like the others. I head into the bathroom and I stand in front of the mirror. I run my fingers over the forced mark on my neck. I know that Theo was right and Bryson recognizes that I am his beloved but what happens now. I bare his brother’s mark. A tear slides down my cheek and I brush it away. I need to focus on making sure my uncle and Bryer pay for what they have done to all of us. I step into the shower and let the spray wash over me. I try to reach my magic but it’s like my power are inside a bubble that I can’t pop. After a few tries I give up for now. I step out and dry before putting on pajamas that Lily gave me. I climb into bed even though I’m sure I won’t be able to sleep with all that is running through my mind. A knock sounds on the door and I open it to find Bryson smiling at me. My stomach flips before I notice his eyes fall to the mark on my neck. “I’m so sorry Selma. I should have stood up to my father and brother.” I step back inviting him into my room. We need to talk about everything anyway.

I take a seat on the bed and he sits in the chair across from me. Goddess, it’s so strange how despite the fact that he and Bryer are identical, my attraction is only to him. I feel the pull like I want to crawl into his lap and bury my head in his chest. “Selma”, his name on my lips brings me out of my thoughts. He smiles like he knows what I’m thinking about. “‘Bryson, you helped me when it mattered most. I know what it is to have someone who is supposed to have your best interest at heart use you for their own selfish needs. I don’t need you to be sorry. I’m sure we have both done things we aren’t proud of in our family’s name. What matters to me is what you plan to do now?” He stands and walks toward me. He places his hand against my cheek and I lean my face into his touch. “I plan to stand with my beloved no matter who it is against.” Another knock sounds on the door and I stand to open it. Pheobe and Lily smile when they see Bryson standing behind me. “I think it’s time we set things right and remove that forced mark from your neck”, Lily says. “The only reason this is possible is because it was done without your consent, otherwise it would require black magic. A mate’s mark is sacred and since he wasn’t your true mate, we can erase it like it never happened” Pheobe says, and I can’t help the smile on my face. I was worried that I would bare this ba**ard’s mark unless I involved the black magic witches. Their help always has a cost and I’m not willing to pay with my soul.

They lead me over to the bed and I lay down. Bryson comes around and takes my hand in his. “Selma, this is definitely going to hurt. Even though its a forced mark, it’s a mark just the same.” “I don’t care how much it hurts, I want that ba**ards mark gone.” Bryson squeezes my hand. Lily and Pheobe come to stand over me and as they begin to chant, I brace myself for the pain. Their chanting gets louder just as the pain hits. I feel like I’m being burned from the inside out. After a few minutes, the burning stops before a pain like I’m being stabbed in my marking spot takes its place. I don’t know how long the pain lasts because I can feel myself fading into unconsciousness. I just pray after all of this pain that when I wake up the mark is really gone.

Bryson POV

that is a new low for even him. As soon as we make it back to the pack, I expect them to throw me in the cells. Selma is the only reason that didn’t happen. I still can’t believe that she is my beloved. He marked my beloved. I knew the moment I looked into her eyes that she was mine even if I don’t deserve her. When they showed me to my room I couldn’t stop pacing. I need her to know how sorry I am and

stops and Selma passes out. I look at the witches and I see sympathy in their eyes. “It has taken a toll on her but she should wake up soon.” I look at her marking spot and though the mark is still there, it is definitely lighter. “It will take a day or so to completely fade” the witch she called Lily says. “Stay with her your presence will

They wheel her through the doors but my mother refuses to leave her side. I’m shocked when the doctor allows her to follow, but part of me is glad. My aunt appears and heads through the double doors.
