Betrayed by My Beta Mate Chapter 124 58 What’s Up Mom Calliope POV

I still can’t believe we’re having a pup. I’m worried about tomorrow, but I can’t help the happiness I feel right now. Knowing that Eli and Silas are just as excited is amazing. Eli went to speak to his father in the office, so it’s just me and Faith this morning. After I got her dressed and gave her breakfast, we put a DVD on. I love these moments when it’s just the two of us. She loves simple songs and Mickey Mouse. I smile down at her and she crawls over to me. Faith reaches for me and I pick her up, peppering her face with kisses. “Do you want to call grandma? She is going to be so excited that you’re going to have a brother or sister.” She is going to be so excited about having another grandpup. I kiss her forehead one more time before I dial my mother’s number. The phone rings twice before she picks up. “Hello” she says and I smile hearing her voice. I miss her, but we are both where we need to be. “Hi mom, how’s Leo?” “He’s fine Calliope. I was just about to call you. How are you?” It’s strange that she didn’t ask me about Faith or Eli. That’s usually her first question after she greets me. “I’m great actually. I know I won’t get to see you for a few days and I couldn’t wait to tell you that Eli and I are having another pup.” I pull the phone away from my ear as she squeals. After a few seconds, I put it back to my ear. “Mom” I say with a chuckle. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scream in your ear. I’m just so excited. How far a long are you?” She knows Eli and I haven’t been together that long, so that’s a strange question. “I’m very early. I was a little worried about the timing, but I’m happy. I have an appointment with the pack doctor today.”

“Calliope, I know you can’t come here with everything going on, but I can come to see you if that’s alright?” “I don’t want you to leave your pack vulnerable. I have no idea what the ba**ard has planned. He has tried to get so many supernaturals involved. Goddess only knows what will happen when Eli and the others arrive at Grant’s pack.” “I’m sure they can handle the pack for a day without me. Besides, I need to see you after the big news. You will not be going with the pack to fight Grant. You have to protect my grandpup. I’m sure your mate feels the same way I do.” Something doesn’t feel right about this conversation. It sounds like my mother but she would never say these things to me. “Mom, I won’t be fighting. I will be staying in the pack.” “Good, you have always been a smart girl. I wouldn’t want you to get hurt. I’m so happy to have you as my daughter.” “Thank you, mom.” I have to say something that lets me know if I’m just being paranoid or something is going on with my mother. “My wolf Scarlett and I are excited for you to come and visit.” Aurora growls low and sits on her haunches at me calling her the wrong name. “I miss Scarlett too. I will be there before dinner if you want to let the patrol guards know.” “Absolutely, I’ll see you this afternoon.” As soon as I hang up, I dial Oliver. He picks up on the third ring.

“Oliver, where are you right now?” “I’m with Tony and his parents in their cottage.” “Have you seen my mother today?” “I haven’t seen her since our run after training this morning. What’s wrong, Cali?” “I just got off the phone with my mother and despite sounding like her, something isn’t right. She didn’t know my wolf’s name.” There is silence for a moment and I wonder if the call dropped. “Oliver, are you there?” “I’m sorry, I was just taken back. She would never forget Aurora is your wolf.” Aurora preens in my mind at Oliver’s words. I roll my eyes. “I need you to get Leo to call me in private. He would know if she has been acting strangely.” “He’s probably in the kitchen. I’ll head back to the pack house and have him call you.” I disconnect the call and the door opens. Eli steps inside smiling until he sees my face.

kiss on his lips. When he pulls back, I can see nothing but love in his eyes. The phone ringing on the table gets my attention. I pick it up and Leo greets me. “Oliver said you needed to talk to me about your mom. She isn’t acting like herself this afternoon, Cali. She has been avoiding me since training this morning and even told me to leave her alone when I went to bring her food”, Leo says. I can hear the hurt in his voice. “Leo, my mother loves you. Something is wrong and I

with Jasmine. I agree with Calliope that something is off. We head to the pack hospital. I’m holding Faith and she is babbling. I keep trying to get her to say dada but she is making every other sound. Calliope is laughing and I pull her close to my side. These are the times I love the most. Just us doing normal things instead of waiting for another issue like an attack. We reach the hospital and the doctor is waiting for us. She leads us to the back and a nurse comes in to draw Calliope’s blood. Once she leaves, the doctor pushes an ultrasound machine in. “We did the blood work as is protocol, but Alpha Eli assures me that you are pregnant. I brought the ultrasound so we can get a look at the pup.” Calliope smiles at me and I take her hand in mine. The doctor starts to move the wand over Calliope’s stomach and I stare intently at the screen. I wait for the little jelly bean to appear like last time. My heart squeezes in my chest when the screen comes to life. Calliope is staring at me with concern on her face, but I can’t even speak. “Well, it seems that you will be welcoming two new pups, Alphas.” “Twins, we’re having twins” Calliope says, and I can’t help the smile that breaks out on my face after the shock wears off. “Did you hear that, Faith? You’re going to

Since you are both of Alpha blood, your pregnancy will be shorter than average wolves. The pups will grow faster and the pregnancy will last about four months. I’ll print you a few pictures and grab your vitamins.” The doctor leaves and Calliope still hasn’t said anything. Is she upset about us having twins? I know it’s a lot to have a pup and add two more to the mix, but we can do anything together. “Calliope, talk to me” I say and her eyes meet mine. “We’re having

didn’t mean to interrupt but you linked us, Eli”, my mother says and I laugh. “No come in, we have some exciting news to share with you both.” I look at Calliope. “We are expecting two pups” she says. My mother screams and my father’s smile warms me. Calliope stands and my mother practically squishes her. “Mom, don’t squeeze my mate to death.” My mother gives me a glare before she loosens her grip on Calliope. “Congratulations” my father says before he hugs us both. After we all sit down, we tell my parents about Jasmine’s behavior and upcoming visit. “We will take Faith, but please be careful. You know your mom, Calliope. So, if something doesn’t feel right, then it probably isn’t”, my mother says. “One last thing before we head to the dining room. I would like to have Calliope’s Alpha ceremony next week.” My mother nods and I can see her wheels turning. “Something simple will be fine” Calliope says and my
