Betrayed By My Beta Mate
Chapter 24

Lucas POV

“So, Conrad what do you expect me to do for you?” “You failed to hold up your end of the deal Conrad.” “Your daughter was supposed to be mine and you failed but you expect me to help you now.” “I gave you Iris in her place because you insisted on it.”

“She took my powers, I want them back.” I laugh “your pathetic either way so I won’t be helping you.” “I gave you my beloved to protect me and my coven” Conrad pleads. “That was the deal.” “You sacrificed your beloved for your own selfish wants and now you expect me to help you.”

I stand from my seat and walk over to Iris. “Stand pet.” She listens like the good girl she has become and I slam my mouth down on hers. When I pull back, I turn and smile at Conrad. “You were nothing before and now you are even less.” “You sure as hell can’t lead this coven as a human.”

His eyes get big and he rushes for the door in some futile effort to run. “Really Conrad, you think that you can get away from a warlock.” I raise my hand lifting him off the floor and bringing him till we are face to face. “By the way your beloved is a good f**k” I say before I snap his neck and drop him to the floor.

I call for Leland to come to me. He is my second in command. He appears in the office a few seconds later. “We will be absorbing this coven and apparently my beloved has taken up with wolves.” “I want her found.” “Send warlocks out to replace her magical signature.”

“I don’t care if we have to check every pack.” “No, you can’t do that” Iris pleads. I turn slapping her across the face knocking her to the floor. “Don’t forget your place pet.” “You’re fun but you will never be my beloved.” “I will have Lilth as my own.”

Lincoln POV

“Lincoln this is a conversation that Amelia doesn’t need to hear.” “I think I was pretty clear dad that this conversation only happens with Amelia here.” I take Amelia’s hand and turn to walk back out of my office. “Fine” he says and we turn around.

I let Amelia sit in my chair to get off her feet and I stand behind her. I can see that my father is nervous and I’ve never seen him like this. “Lincoln, I know what I did hurt you and I should have talked to you first but I won’t apologize for trying to protect you.”

“I am your father and you have worked too hard becoming the great Alpha you are to throw it away for anything.” In that moment I feel sick to my stomach. His choice of words doesn’t sit right with me. “What did you do dad?” “What do you mean, you know what I did?” “I called Thomas to come and take Max from this pack so you wouldn’t lose your title for killing him.” “She is not your Luna.”

“What else did you do?” “Son, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” I link my mother to come to my office. If my father did what I think he did, I will never forgive him. A few minutes later the door flies open and my mother rushes inside. “Lincoln what’s wrong?” “I think you should ask your mate that question.”

“Charles what is he talking about?” My father sits in silence just staring at my mother. “Charles answer me now” my mother demands. “Max was not supposed to harm her.” Talon is at the surface and I push him down. “You ordered Max to take Amelia from the pack before we mated.”

“I thought that I was so lucky to have parents who supported and loved me.” “You betrayed me for what?” “For your legacy and for a title.” “Lincoln, you need your own b***d heir and a proper mate.” “Oh, my goddess Charles what have you done.” “He wasn’t supposed to hurt you Amelia I swear to the goddess” my father says to Amelia and I see red. “Don’t you ever talk to my mate again.”

“Mother I’m sorry but I will not allow anyone to harm my mate or pup.” “You will always be welcome in our pack” I rest my hand on Amelia’s shoulder. I turn to my father and speak words I never thought I would have to say. “Charles Thomas you are hereby banished from the Nightfire Pack.” I link two guards to come to my office. “Lincoln you can’t do this I’m your father.” “No, you were my father.”

“Now you’re just a man who chose to do the wrong thing because you cared more about a title then your son.” The door opens and the two guards come in. “Remove Charles Thomas from the territory he is banished.” “He may not return for any reason.”

They look at me like I’m crazy but they don’t question me. “Yes Alpha” they say in unison. They loop their arms through my father’s and pull him out of the chair. As they drag him past my mother, he reaches for her arm but she pulls away. “Lorraine, you know me I wouldn’t hurt her or our son.” “I wish you thought about that before you were so selfish.” “I told you Charles I will always choose my pup.” “I, Lorraine Marie Thomas, reject and break my bond with you Charles Jacob Thomas.”

My mother grabs her chest and I rush to her. “I won’t accept it you are my mate” he says pulling against the warriors. “Get him out of my sight now.” They pull him out the door. “I’m sorry mother.” “Don’t you dare say you’re sorry for what he did, it’s unforgiveable.” I help her to the couch and I look over at Amelia who looks like she is in shock. “Go check on her now” my mother says.

Amelia POV

I can’t believe what Charles just said. He had Max try to take me from the pack and Lincoln. He acted so concerned in the dining room. “He was concerned because you weren’t supposed to be hurt just taken” Star growls in my head. “How could he do this?” I feel like I can’t breathe. “Amelia breathe, think about our pup.” I try to take even breaths and bring air into my lungs.

Everything around me seems like it’s happening in slow motion as they drag Charles from the office. A few seconds later Lincoln is rushing toward me. “Love look at me, breathe.” He picks me up and sets me in his lap. I bury my head in his chest breathing in his scent. I slow my breathing down. “Amelia please look at me.”

I pick my head up staring into Lincoln’s beautiful blue eyes. “Amelia you are my mate and no one is going to hurt you or our pup.” “Lincoln, I hate that I’ve come between” “no don’t do that” he says. “Don’t you dare take ownership of my father’s f**ked up behavior.” “He made his choice and he can deal with the consequences.”

“Amelia come here” Lorraine says and I look at her for the first time since they took Charles away. She rejected her mate. She looks pale and she has her hand to her chest. I hop of Lincoln’s lap and head to her. “Lorraine of my goddess we need to get you to the pack hospital.” She smiles and places her hand on my cheek. “Sweet girl this will be over soon and there is nothing the doctor can do for it.”

“I’m sorry Lorraine.” She smiles and it reminds me of my own mother. “Amelia, what would you do for your pup” she says and lays her hand on my bump. “I would do anything for little bean.” She chuckles “that’s what a parent does, they put their pups needs above their own.” “Charles chose what was important to him.” “I choose you, my grand pup, and Lincoln.” I wrap her in a hug.

My mother believed a monster over her own flesh and b***d. This woman didn’t bat an eyelash when she knew her son and I were hurt by Charles’ actions. She pulls back “I’m going to go rest for a while but I will see you two at dinner.” She k****s us both before she heads out of the office. I look up at Lincoln “your mother is so strong.” “I’m surrounded by strong women” he says. He leans in kissing me and then bends down kissing my bump.

Lily POV

I’m sitting next to Aunt Jiselle’s bed and John is lying on the couch. She starts to flutter her eyes open and I take her hand in mine. She starts to panic until she realizes where she is. “Lily, I’m so glad your safe.” John rushes over hearing his mother’s voice. “Mom” he says and bends down to hug her. When he pulls back, she is smiling. “You look good John.” “You did well protecting, Lily.” He pulls a chair to the other side of the bed and my aunt sits up.

“Lily I’m sorry it took so long for me to reach you but Conrad kept me weak.” “The only person who should be sorry is Conrad and believe me he is now.” She smiles “what did you do to him?” “I made him powerless.” “Good that snake deserves everything he gets after he gave your mother away like she was nothing to him.” “Why didn’t mother call for me when it happened?” “I would have protected her.”

“Your mother was protecting you as any mother does.” “That ba**ard Lucas is going to be sorry that he ever touched her.” “You have to be careful Lily he is an evil creature.” The door opens and Neal walks in. He comes over placing his hands on my shoulders. “Who is this handsome young wolf?” I chuckle “this is my beloved Neal.” “Neal this is my Aunt Jiselle.”

“Your mother will be so happy you found your fated beloved.” “Aunt Jiselle I still don’t understand why this black magic warlock is so hell bent on having me.” Neal growls and I k**s his hand. “There are millions of witches just like me that he could have.” “Your mother never told you did she.” I look at her with confusion. “What didn’t my mother tell me exactly.”
