Betrayed by My Beta Mate Chapter 36

36 Hard Decision

Lily POV

Once we are in an exam room, Dr. Neilson checks my mother over. “Iris, your vital signs are all stable and besides some bruising that is already fading, you look perfect.” My mother laughs and I love to hear that sound. Amelia was right when she said he couldn’t break her spirit. “I am far from perfect, but thank you.” “I don’t think there is any reason you will need to stay in the hospital tonight” Dr. Neilson says. He leaves and I can’t help myself. I wrap my mom in a hug again. I was so worried that I wouldn’t make it to her in time and she is here. She pulls back and pushes my hair behind my ear. “I’m safe, Lily, and I wouldn’t take back anything that I did to protect you.” I smile “I have someone who will want to see you.” I take her hand and lead her down the hall. I open the door and lead her inside. She gasps and starts to cry when she sees my aunt. She runs over and they hug. “Iris, oh my goddess you’re alright” my aunt says as they embrace. My aunt looks so much better and the doctor said she can leave the hospital tomorrow. The door opens and ‘John walks in with Neal. Neal wraps me in his arms and I melt into him. I hear someone clear their throat and I look up to see my mother smiling at us.

He comes to stand next to me. “Mom, this is my beloved Neal.” “Neal, this is my mother, Iris.” He walks over and I can feel the nerves through our bond. My mother isn’t going to care he is a wolf, but I’m sure he is uncertain. He reaches out his hand and she pulls him into a hug. I feel the moment his body relaxes. She pulls back, “Neal, I know you will take good care of my baby and I wouldn’t care if you were a purple unicorn as long as that happens.” Neal laughs and looks back at me. My mother turns to me, “Lily, can you go make sure that Pheobe is OK?” “Of course, mom” I say before I head to the nurse’s station. The nurse smiles at me. “Can I help you Lily?” “Yes, the young lady that came in with us can you take me to her.” “Of course” she says and leads me to a room down a long hallway. She knocks and opens the door. I walk in and it looks like Pheobe has just finished dressing. “Thank you” I say to the nurse and she leaves, closing the door behind her.

it falls as quickly as it came. “I’m sorry for what my brother has done.” I step toward her. “Did you hurt my mother, Pheobe?” She looks affronted by my question. “I would never hurt your mother.” “It sickened me every day I couldn’t get her out of there.” “Then you have nothing to apologize for.” “In fact, you are the only reason she is safe right now.” I pull her into a hug. She stiffens but after a few seconds she wraps her arms around me. My heart breaks for this girl. I can feel her turmoil. I step back, “Pheobe, can we talk for a minute?” She nods and we both take a seat. “Pheobe, I can’t imagine how torn you must be.” “I’m not torn, I

could have stopped him myself.” “Maybe my father would still be alive if I was stronger.” She is quiet for a minute and I wonder what she is thinking about. “Pheobe, do you know what strength it took to go against your brother and save my mother.” “I heard my mother say that Lucas was there before we arrived at the hotel.” “He was and honestly I have no idea what happened but something helped me.” Now she looks at me with confusion. I dig into my pocket pulling out the amethyst ring. I tell her about the whisper and the sphere that formed when I placed it on and chanted” She smiles “Pheobe, can you do me a favor and make a small energy ball in your hand.” I’m

but it is very clear the goddess has a plan for you.” I look down at the ring on my finger. “Why would the goddess pick me?” “She knows what you can’t see yet.” “What’s that Lily?” “That what you were born as doesn’t define who you become.” “Now I know you’re not ready to sit with Michael yet so I have some people I would like you to meet.” “Lily, I can’t stay here.” She looks at me like I’m crazy. “What do you mean you can’t stay here?” “First of all, it’s a wolf pack and I’m a black magic witch.” “Not anymore” she says very matter of fact. “Do you really believe that the Alpha of this pack is going to just accept me?” “That isn’t how Alpha wolves work.” “Without a doubt.” “Lincoln isn’t any Alpha.” “Besides you’re the future Beta Female.” “Lily” I say but she cuts me off. “Introductions now and

read me like the Alpha he is. “What aren’t you telling me Michael?” “The witch that helped Lily’s mother escape is my mate.” “Oh, my goddess that’s awesome Michael.” “Why do you look so sh**ty if you found your mate?” “I think she plans to reject me.” I see his eyes flash black. “Calm down Talon” I say and his eyes turn back. “Why the f**k would she reject you?” “Honestly Lincoln, I don’t know.” “She hasn’t even spoken to
