Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 119

53 Forgiveness

Grant POV

I can’t f**king believe this. First that ba**ard Octavius refuses to help me, and now Magnum has deserted the cause. My wolf is ready to leave me because he wants Evelyn back. He wasn’t happy at first when I decided to take her as my chosen mate. Our f**king fated mate was an omega and I rejected her on the spot. I was more than happy when her father approached me because she was beautiful and kind. She was exactly what a Luna should be. My wolf wasn’t happy about not having his fated mate but he knew it had to be done. A strong Alpha cannot have a weak omega as their Luna. Once I marked Evelyn, he completely accepted her. I hated that she was pregnant but I had the perfect way to fix that mistake. I had no care for the pups growing in her belly. I wish I could have gone back and killed those two little ba**ards. If I had just gotten rid of them, none of this would be happening. We would still be happily mated ruling our pack. A knock sounds on my office door before it opens. My Beta walks in and looks around at my destroyed office.

“Alpha” he starts to say before I cut him off. “Unless you have something useful to tell me about my Luna, get the f**k out of my office.” “I found a witch that is very interested in a member of the Nightfire pack. She is willing to offer you her services as long as she can have the red wolf.” I look at him like he has grown another head. “What the hell are you going on about? I have never heard of a red wolf.” “Well, apparently there is one residing in the Nightfire pack. This may be the only way you can get our Luna back, Alpha.” I know nothing of this witch or her motives. I growl but I know he is right. “Set up a meeting with the witch for today.” He nods and leaves my office. I try to reach out to my wolf and I feel him stir for the first time in a long time. He doesn’t answer, but I know he heard everything that was said. I hope this witch can really help, because if not, I’m going to the Nightfire pack and if I die in the process, then so be it. Living without my Luna and wolf is like hell on earth.

Magnum POV

I can’t kill this ba**ard despite what he just said about Larisa. He will never have my beloved. Not as long as I’m still alive. I may have a lot to make up for after what I did, but I will make her mine. I will prove to her that she can trust me. The wolf’s growl brings me out of my thoughts. He jumps toward me and I easily side-step him. He barrels at me again and I jump over him, landing behind him with a thud. I turn just in time to see the other wolf jump on my attacker. What the hell is going on right now? Oscar comes to stand by my side and we watch the two wolves rolling around in front of us. A growl from behind us startles us both. I turn to see a huge black wolf running in our direction. He is definitely an Alpha Wolf. I don’t know whether to be relieved or scared sh*tless at the growl that comes from him. Everything goes silent and I turn to see both wolves have stopped fighting. They are baring their necks to show their submission and respect. He shifts and is standing in front of the two wolves. “Shift now”, he says, and both wolves immediately shift back into their human forms. Both of the men drop their gaze. “Explain yourself now” he says. “That is the vampire that took Larisa. I was dealing with him, Alpha”, the a**hat that attacked me says as spittle flies from his mouth. I roll my eyes but stay quiet. “Did that man ask for an audience with the Alpha,” he says, pointing at me. I understand what’s happening now. The other wolf must have alerted the Alpha about our request. “Answer me” he says. “Yes Alpha, but” is all he gets out before another growl rips through the air.

“Are you the Alpha of the Nightfire pack?” “No Alpha” the man says and he sounds defeated. “Marcus take Liam to the cells. I will deal with him later.” “Yes, Alpha”, Marcus says, and both men leave. The Alpha whirls on us and I stand up straighter. “I am Alpha Eli Thomas. You asked to speak with the Alpha of this pack, so speak.” Before I can even begin to explain why we are here, he interrupts me. “I would think very carefully about what you say next because I know you are the one that took my sister.” I nod and say a silent prayer to the goddess. “I am sorry for taking Larisa. I am not here to harm your pack.” “I’m not worried about you harming my pack. Explain why you are here, Magnum?” His use of my name throws me off but I quickly recover. “I am here because my beloved is here. I would like to speak with her if you will permit it.” “It’s not my decision to make about who my sister speaks with.” He

steps closer to me and his aura surrounds me. I’m not a wolf, but if I was, I’m sure I would be on my knees. “If you ever hurt my sister, I will make you wish for death.” “I plan to spend the rest of my life making sure she only knows love and happiness when it comes to our relationship. If she will have me.” A smile that puts me at ease spreads across his face. “I think before you see her there is someone else you need to speak with.” I’m confused but I nod. Oscar and I follow him into the pack house.

We follow Alpha Eli into a room that I assume is his office. Oscar and I take a seat across from his desk. The door opens and the woman and man from my vision walk in. The woman’s soft smile is a sharp contrast to the pissed-off look I’m getting from the man I assume is Alpha Lincoln. It’s amazing to me how the hatred I’ve had for this man for so many years seems to be a distant memory. “Mom and Dad, this is Magnum and Oscar.” We both stand and without warning, I’m wrapped in a warm hug. I stiffen at first, not sure how to respond. “It’s alright, Magnum, ” she says, and I wrap my arms around her. “I’m sorry” I whisper and it doesn’t even sound like me. “All is forgiven, Magnum. You did the right thing when it really mattered.” She pulls back and warmth spreads through my chest. She steps aside and Lincoln steps in front of me. The anger is gone from his face and replaced by a look I can’t decipher. “I’m sorry that you lost your parents” he says. There is nothing but sincerity in his eyes. He isn’t apologizing for what he had to do to protect those he loved. He is simply acknowledging the pain it caused me and Oscar. “Everything that happened in the past needs to stay there. You have no blame in what happened to my parents. I just wish that I had realized that sooner.” He lays his hand on my shoulder. “I can see that you’re a good man and I’m glad that goddess chose you for my little girl.” “I told you it would all work out” Oscar links me and I smile. He was absolutely right. I’m glad that Larisa’s family have forgiven me and are willing to give me a chance. I just hope she is happy to see me because goddess knows I can’t wait to see her.

Larisa POV

“Rose, as soon as the doctor releases me, I’m going back to the coven. I need to make Magnum understand that I am his mate and I’m not taking no for an answer.” She smiles “I’ll go with you. I want to make sure that he knows if he doesn’t accept you or treat you right that Clara and I are going to kick his a** or turn him into a furry bunny.” I laugh and wrap her in a hug. When she pulls back, I see a flash of sadness in her eyes. “Rose, what’s wrong?” “Nothing, I’m fine.” “I have been your best friend all our lives. I know something is wrong, just tell me.” “You’re going to leave the pack to live with your mate. I’m going to miss having my best friend around.” I feel tears prick my eyes. “I promise you that we will always spend time together. I will never forget about you or my family.” She smiles and hugs me again before she leaves. I lay back in my bed thinking about seeing Magnum again. A knock on the door brings me out of my thoughts of my mate. I sit up and his scent invades my nose. “Mate is here” Ara growls.

When the door opens, Magnum steps into my room. I have to be dreaming. He can’t really be here. “Magnum” I say his name like a question. “Hello Larisa” he says with a smirk on his face. “So, you know my real name. Then you know who I really am to the Alpha.” He walks closer and sits at the base of my bed. “I know exactly who you are. You are my beloved.” A shiver runs through my body when he says the word beloved. I stay silent and let Magnum talk. “I’m sorry for everything that happened. I know I don’t deserve you but” is all he gets out before I attack his lips. He more than deserves me and I will show him that every day. He deepens the kiss and I swear I can feel it in my toes. Someone clearing their throat gets our attention. I look at the door and smile. Oscar walks in with a huge smirk on his face. “I swear if you say I told you so one more time I’m going to kick your a**” Magnum says, and I laugh. Ara is prancing around in my mind happy that our mate is here with us. “How did you make it into the territory?” I was so happy that he was here I didn’t even think about the fact that he shouldn’t be. How was he not stopped by the patrol guard. He tells me about everything that happened at the border. Ara growls but I push the anger away for now. “So, you met Eli.” “I met Eli and your parents.” I freeze thinking about how angry he was with my father. He takes my hand in his. “Larisa, I’m sorry I held my father’s wrong doings against your father. All that is in the past and you are my future.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
