Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 99

33 Too Bad So Sad

Evelyn POV

I wake to a warm body wrapped around mine. The tingles and the dull ache in my core feel amazing. I hate that I have to move to use the bathroom, but I have no choice right now. I try to move his big arm off me, but it isn’t happening. I try to slide off the bed, but he just tightens his grip on me. “Hudson, I need to pee.” He grunts but makes no move to release me. My face is resting near the fresh mark I gave him last night. I smile before I run my tongue over my mark, causing him to shiver. He pulls back with his eyes dark and lust filled. I slide out of bed before he can stop me. “You’re going to pay for that little mate.” I laugh as I head into the bathroom. I’m just finishing washing my hands and admiring my new mark when the door opens. Hudson smiles and holds out his hand. His phone is lying in his palm vibrating and d*ckhead is flashing on the screen. I chuckle at the name he has given Grant. He finally swipes to answer it and puts the call on speaker phone. I stay quiet, wanting to hear what he has to say. “Hudson, are you there? What the hell is going on? I’ve been calling you? Why the f**k aren’t you answering my calls?” “I’m here” he says gruffly.” “Did you find them? Why the hell didn’t you answer the phone last night? I felt a dull pain last night. I think Evelyn was f**king another man. I will kill the ba**ard for touching what’s mine.”

Hudson growls low before he pulls me to him and licks his mark on my neck, causing me to moan. “What the f**k is going on” Grant screams. “Sorry Grant, Hudson is a bit busy f**king my brains out. He will have to call you back.” I push the disconnect and Hudson does just that. The phone on the floor vibrates insistently but we could care less. After we shower, I pick the phone up off the floor and walk back into the bedroom. There are a hundred missed calls and I don’t know how many missed texts messages. Hudson pulls me onto his lap as we sit on the bed and I dial the contact that says d**khead. The first ring doesn’t even finish and Grant is screaming into the phone. “Shut the hell up Grant.”

“Evelyn, how could you do that? How could you f**k” I cut him off. “My mate, very easily. Hudson is my goddess given mate, I can’t thank you enough for sending him to me.” “What are you talking about?” “It seems the goddess wanted to give me a real second chance. Hudson is my mate.” “That’s not possible, I was your second chance.” “No, you were a mistake that has been corrected. I am with the man I should have always been with. He told me everything that you have planned for me and my son.” There is silence before I hear things breaking.

“Evelyn, I will have you back in the pack and my bed. You belong to me.” Hudson growls and I rub my hand down his arm. “That will never happen Hudson. I am yours Hudson. Grant the only thing I will be is the one to end you and that ba**ard Octavius. Enjoy what little time you have left in this world.” I end the call and throw the phone onto the bed. Hudson wraps his arms around me and breathes in my scent. “He will never touch you as long as I’m alive.” I pull back and press my lips to his, pouring all the love I have for him into this kiss. My stomach rumbling is loud and Hudson pulls back with a smile. “I think I had better feed you before I take you again. I can’t have you hungry.” He stands with me in his arms and carries me down to the kitchen. “I can walk Hudson.” He ignores me and when we reach the kitchen Cayden is already cooking breakfast. He sets a plate down in front of me and grabs one for Hudson. “Congratulations to you both, but if you hurt my mother, I will turn you into something that bears eat Hudson.” I almost choke on the eggs in my mouth, but Hudson’s laugh fills the room. “You have my permission to turn me into any furry cute woodland creature if I ever hurt Evelyn. I promise you that will never happen.” Cayden nods and joins us. For the first time in a long while I’m happy. I say a prayer of thanks to the goddess and my guardian angel.

Grant POV

I pitch the phone and it smashes off the wall. What the f**k is happening? She can’t have a third mate. “You sent that f**king bear right to her. Now we will never get her back”, Thiago growls. I block him because I cannot deal with him after I heard my mate being defiled by that f**king bear. The pain was dull last night until I had a sharp pain, then it just stopped. He f**king marked her. I will kill that bear for

touching what is mine. I don’t care what mark she has once he’s dead, my mark will be where it has always belonged. I grab the book out of my drawer. I hate working with vampires, but I don’t have a choice when that ba**ard Octavius has made it clear he won’t help me find them. I don’t care who I have to sacrifice to have Evelyn back.

Eli POV

I watch Faith crawl around the floor. It’s hard to believe she will be six months old in a few days. I think about Clara every day, but I know I need to keep going for Faith, my family, and the pack. Larisa and my parents have been amazing. They are the only reason I have gotten through all of this. Cayden and Evelyn call to update me on their progress and check on how we are doing. I couldn’t believe it when she introduced me to her new mate, Hudson. I could tell she was nervous about the pack accepting her mate, but I assured her that we would welcome him into the pack and our family. I have a meeting this afternoon with a representative from the Crescent Moon. At first, I was adamant I would have no dealings with that pack, but Lily assures me that the new Alpha is nothing like that ba**ard Mateo. An hour later, the twins link me that the Betas from the Crescent Moon have arrived. I link Larisa and walk over to scoop up my little girl. I kiss her face and she giggles. “Daddy has a meeting so you’re going to go play with Aunt Larisa.” Just as I finish saying it, the door opens. Larisa and Rose smile when they see Faith. “Hey little one, how about we take you for a snack while daddy is busy?” Faith reaches for Larisa and I let her go. Once they leave my office, I take a seat behind my desk. “Silas, after our meeting I think we should go for a run before we get Faith.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Absolutely, we can run the territory.” A knock sounds on the door and one of the guards leads two men into my office. I stand and they bear their necks to me. “Alpha Eli, thank you for meeting with us today. I am Anthony Conlon and this is Oliver Conlon. We are the Betas of the Crescent Moon.” “It’s very nice to meet you both. Please have a seat.” They both sit and I take mine. “I agreed to this meeting because Lily trusts your Alpha but I’m not sure exactly what your Alpha wants from me and my pack.” “I’m sure you already know that Alpha Mateo was challenged for the Alpha title by his daughter. She won the

challenge and has taken her rightful place as Alpha of the pack. She is nothing like her father and is trying to right many of his wrongs, including how women were treated in our pack by many male members.” “I’m glad to hear that. Had Mateo still been Alpha, you wouldn’t be sitting here in my pack having this conversation.” They nod and continue “Alpha Calliope is hoping to rebuild the alliances with surrounding packs. Now that she has settled many of the issues that the pack had internally, she feels confident in inviting the other Alphas to meet in the Crescent Moon.”

“When will this meeting be held? I have a small pup and I have no intentions of being away from her for a long time.” I see sympathy on their faces. “We are sorry for your loss, Alpha. We had heard about your mate.” “Thank you, I appreciate your condolences. My daughter is my priority, but I am still the Alpha of this pack. I am willing to entertain the possibility of an alliance with your pack. I appreciate that Alpha Calliope sent you in person as opposed to sending an invitation. It shows her dedication to her pack and the alliance. You can send me the details of the meeting and I will do my best to be there.” “Thank you, Alpha Eli. We will let Alpha Calliope know and be in touch.” I shake both their hands before I lead them out of the pack house. I link my men that they will be leaving before I shift into Silas. Our bond has grown if that’s possible. I’m grateful for Silas and Faith. As the wind rushes through our fur, I clear my mind and just enjoy this time with my wolf. We approach the southern border and Silas growls. We catch the scent of vampires. A few moments later, four men step off behind the trees. Silas growls low and I shift. “What business do you have near the Nightfire pack?” The man laughs “it seems that we have stumbled upon the Alpha, men. That’s good because you will get the message directly from me.” “I won’t ask you again.” “Don’t worry mutt. Today is not the day we kill you and your pack. Just know that day is coming and I will take great pleasure in killing you and everyone that you love.” I don’t even give a response before I shift and take off toward them. I will rip them apart for threatening my pack and family. They use their speed and take off into the trees. I will not follow because it may be a trap and I need to be smart about my next move. I link my men to meet me and within seconds I hear paws hitting the ground.

The twins and twenty warriors approach and shift. I tell them about the vampires and their threat. “I want the patrol guard tripled until we figure out what the hell they want and why they were here today.” The other guards shift and begin checking the other borders. “What the hell could they possibly want” Micah says. “I don’t know but they are going to be very sorry they messed with this pack. We will show them no mercy if they try to harm the pack and our family.” They both nod and take off to join the others. I shift running back toward the pack house. I need to hold Faith and know she is alright. I know that I am letting my fear of losing her get to me, but right now, holding her is the only thing that will calm me down.
