PopularNovelBetrayed by My Beta Mate Chapter 76
10 Unexpected Visit
Cayden POV
I open my eyes and I’m in a room like I’ve never seen before. The walls are clean and white. The bed I’m lying on feels amazing.
I sit up and notice that all the pain I had earlier is gone. I must be dead and honestly it’s a relief. I pray that Clara found a safe
place and will be happy. I don’t even know how I helped Clara escape. It was like it wasn’t even me that helped Clara. The door
opens to the room and I stand expecting to see the goddess. I’m confused when a man I’ve never seen walks in. For the first
time in a long time, I feel my wolf. “Cayden, don’t be afraid. Everything will be clear soon” Riggs says. Before I can respond to
him, the man speaks. “Cayden, it is so good to see you.” “I don’t mean to sound rude but who are you?” “It will be easier to show
you than to tell you.” He sticks out his hand and I take it. Images begin to flash through my mind.
Vision
The man in front of me and a beautiful woman are sitting at a table. A few minutes later, he goes over and helps her to stand.
Her belly is very swollen and he places his hand over it. “I can’t wait to meet our pups, love. It’s hard to believe it will be
happening in just two months.” He kisses her before they head for the door. The image fades and a new one replaces it. The
same man is sitting in an office with an older man that has his features. “This is not right Theo. She is not a witch. You are
polluting the magical bloodline by mating with a mutt” the older man says. “Uncle, do you believe that you know better than the
goddess herself? I would suggest you never speak of Evelyn that way again.” “Don’t challenge my authority, Theodore. I am the
leader of this coven and you will follow my orders without question.” “She is carrying my children and she is mine. I will gladly
leave the coven for her. You can find someone else to follow your orders.” The anger on the older man’s face is unmistakable.
He stands “the only way you will leave this coven, Theodore, is to meet the goddess, so make your choice.” The younger man
attempts to stand to defend himself but the older man shoots something from his hand. The image fades again but I’m sure he
didn’t survive.
The new image is of the same woman sitting at a table with a man that is definitely an Alpha. I see pain on her face and then
they appear in the hospital. She is in labor and her screams fill the room. A few moments later, the pups are rushed from the
room. Instead of screams of pain, the woman is screaming for her pups. The Alpha appears and two familiar people are with
him. That ba**ard Franklin is standing with the witch, Lydia. The Alpha hands them the pups and they disappear. The next image
is of the woman and Alpha as she sobs uncontrollably. “I’m so sorry love, the pups didn’t make it.” “How could this happen?” “I
Vision End
I pull my hand back. “What does this all mean? Is that my mother?” He smiles “yes that beautiful woman is you and Clara’s
mother.” Realization of who this man is to me finally sinks in. “You’re our father. So I am dead.” He smiles “no my son. You are
very much alive. The goddess has granted me this moment to meet you and give you the information you will need to make
things right.” “Have you visited Clara?” I see sadness cross his features. “Did something happen to Clara? Please tell me that all
I did was not in vain.” “What you did was amazing. Your sister is alive and, despite what the future may hold, she is happy.”
“What does that mean? Is something going to happen Clara?” “Cayden, the only thing that I can tell you is that whatever
happens was meant to be and you will need to be there for the gift she brings that is born of that happiness.” “You’re saying a lot
but making no sense.” He steps forward and wraps me in his arms. “I love you and I’m proud of the man that you have become.”
I feel the tears running down my cheeks. I never thought I would have a moment with this man.
He whispers my mother’s name before he begins to chant. My body is engulfed in warmth and my eyes close on their own. I feel
like I’m floating for a moment before everything stills. I manage to force my eyes open again and I’m in a dirty room. It’s not the
cell, but it’s nothing like the room I was just in. I hear the key turn in the lock and the door opens. “How do you feel boy,” the witch
says. I don’t answer her. “You could act a little grateful. I’m the only reason you’re still alive.” “Let me out to kill that b**ch” Riggs
growls. This is the strongest we have felt in a very long time. “We will, we just need to pick our time. After what father said, I
need to get to Clara.”
Eli POV
As we stand with my parents, Clara seems anxious. I’m sure being around all these people isn’t easy for her, but this seems
different. She seems distracted and both Silas and I are concerned. “We want to thank you all for coming to the Nightfire pack for
this celebration. I’m sure you’re all wondering what we invited you here to celebrate.” Everyone laughs and nods at my father.
“We decided to have this ball to announce that our son Eli has found his mate.” He holds out his hand to Clara and I lead her to
him. I stand on the other side of her. “This is the future Luna of the Nightfire pack, Clara.” Applause fills the room and I squeeze
her hand. She smiles but I can see she is nervous. I lean in “I’m here with you. You are doing amazing.” She kisses my cheek
and we look back at the crowd. “We want you all to enjoy tonight and we will be sending invitations when it is time to appoint the
new Alpha and Luna of the pack.” Again the crowd breaks into applause. Everyone starts to talk and dance again. I take Clara’s
hand, leading her out into the hallway.
I pull her into my arms. “What’s wrong Clara?” She acts like she has no idea what I’m talking about. “Just because we aren’t
bonded doesn’t mean I don’t know when something is wrong.” “That woman that was with your mom, who is she?” “That is Luna
been very kind when I have been around her. Do you want me to ask her and Alpha Grant to leave?” “Of course not, she has
done nothing wrong. I’m sure she is a lovely woman.” She smiles and I lean down kissing her lips softly. I pull back and take her
hand, leading her back into the ballroom. I lead her to the dance floor and hold her in my arms. It’s amazing to share this
moment with her.
The ball lasts for a few hours and I love the smile that Clara wears for most of the evening. She dances with Larisa and Rose
while I sit with Micah and Mason just watching her. I look at the table where Evelyn and Grant are sitting. Evelyn doesn’t take her
eyes off of Clara while she dances. What could Clara and Cora possibly be feeling about her? As the ball winds down, the Alpha
and Lunas start to come to say goodnight to all of us. We stand with my parents by the door as everyone leaves the ballroom.
Evelyn and Grant are the last ones to approach us. He has his arm looped in hers. She comes to stand in front of me first. “It
was good to see you again Eli. Congratulations on finding your beautiful Luna.” “Thank you Evelyn.” She moves till she is
standing in front of Clara. “It was a pleasure to meet you Clara. I hope we can spend time getting to know each other in the
future.” She reaches her hand and Clara takes it. I see Evelyn’s eyes flash black but it is gone as quickly as it came. Grant
ushers toward my parents as he shakes my hand. “Congratulations to the two of you” he says as he walks past Clara.
Evelyn POV
Grant leads me to the car and helps me inside. He starts the drive back to the Red Moon and the silence that fills the car is
uncomfortable for the first time since we mated all those years ago. We’re halfway home when Grant finally breaks the silence.
“Evelyn, are you alright?” I turn “I’m fine Grant.” He takes my hand in his and squeezes it. Everything in me right now wants to
pull away, but he doesn’t deserve that. He didn’t do anything wrong and I have no right to be upset with him. Once we reach the
pack I head inside and right upstairs to our wing. He follows me and once we reach our room he pulls me to him. “Evelyn, you
are worrying me. I hate when you are upset and I know you are not fine.” “I’m sorry, I don’t know why I feel drawn to that girl but
you did nothing wrong.” I lean up and press my lips to his. He tries to deepen the kiss but there is no way I can do that the way I
feel. I pull away and head over to grab my pajamas. “I think I’ll feel better after a shower.” He nods and I head into the bathroom.
Once I am in the shower I let my mind wander to the day I lost my pups.
Grant POV
This cannot be f**king happening. Once I know she is in the shower, I grab my phone out of my jacket. He picks up on the
second ring. I don’t even give him a chance to answer. “Do you know who I f**king met tonight?” “Hello to you, too, Grant.”
“Franklin, I’m ready to come to that f**king collective and snap your neck with my bare hands.” “What are you going on about?”
“The pup you should have taken care of years ago met my Luna tonight.” There is silence for a minute before he asks for an
explanation. I tell him about the ball and meeting the new Luna of the Nightfire pack. “How the hell could she be mated to an.
Alpha?” “She isn’t really a rogue you a**hole. You and that f**king witch had better figure out how to fix this before my Luna finds
out who she really is or you will both be sorry.” I cut the call and the bathroom door opens. Evelyn comes out with a look of
concern on her face. “Who were you talking to, Grant?”
