Betrayed by My Beta Mate Chapter 114
48 Not a Hero
Larisa POV
A part of me feels bad for hitting Oliver. He is the only one that seems kind. Ara and I couldn’t shift completely because of the
silver, but she was able to lend me some of her strength, making the blow more powerful. He will live but he is going to have one
hell of a headache when he wakes up. I manage to roll him off of me and get to my feet. My ribs hurt like a b**ch with my healing
slowed by the silver. Once I’m on my feet, I move through the cell door without touching the bars. I’m grateful to find the door that
leads out of the room is unlocked. As I keep moving, I find the hallway is empty. I move through the hallway as quickly as I can
without drawing attention to myself. I’m almost to another set of stairs when I hear something behind me. I turn to see the b**ch
from earlier coming out of a room, followed by the man that the goddess has chosen as my mate. She spots me first and wipes
her mouth, letting me know that she just had my mate’s c**k in it. Ara wants me to turn around and rip her throat out. “He has
made choice and we are not it. We need to get the hell out of here, Ara.” I rush down the stairs as fast as I can with my injuries. I
approach a door that I’m sure leads outside. I push it open and I’m grateful to be right. As soon as we step outside the door, we
shift, heading for the woods. Hope blooms in my chest that I have saved myself from these evil f**ks.
We weave through the trees saying a prayer to the goddess that I can get far enough away so they won’t be able to find me.
Apparently, I’m not that lucky. I run for a few more minutes before something hits me hard in the side with enough force to knock
me off of my feet and into a tree. If my ribs had healed at all they are definitely broken again. Ara whimpers and all the hope from
a few minutes ago is gone. I look up to see three vampires standing over us. “The stupid b**ch tried to run. You thought you were
actually faster than us. I hope Magnum punishes your a** for running and let’s all of us watch.” I close my eyes, not wanting to
see them stand there and gloat. A noise that sounds like a sickening thud gets my attention and I pry my eyes open. “I told you
not to hurt her”, Magnum yells at the vampire he has pinned to the tree. A thought that he might actually care about me is
immediately replaced by the reality that he needs me alive to get to my father. I hear a crack but I don’t even dare look as I close
my eyes again. Did he just kill one of his own men? Ara is scooped up like she weighs nothing and, based on the tingles, I know
exactly who is carrying us this time. After a few minutes, I open my eyes enough to see Oscar standing at the door. Magnum
pushes past him without a word and carries me back upstairs. I expect him to carry me back to the cell but he doesn’t. He takes

me to a room that is a few doors down from the one I was in earlier. It is beautiful and I doubt this is Magnum’s room. It has a
huge bed and it is decorated in blue and gray. I would think his room would be dark with red and black colors. “Just because he
is a vampire doesn’t mean he has to like black and red”, Ara says, and I roll my eyes.

He sets us down gently before he stands back to his full height. “Shift back little wolf” he says like a command. I know Ara wants
to please him and she does as he asks without warning. “Traitor” I say before I realize I’m lying naked before him. I scramble for
the covers almost forgetting about my broken ribs. I wince and I can see anger flash in his eyes. “Where are you injured?” “Don’t
worry about it. I’m a wolf, I’ll heal. I will be perfectly healthy by the time you need to use me” I say with all the venom I can
muster. “Laura, I asked you a question and I expect an answer.” I almost forgot that is the name I gave to Oscar. “Why don’t you
go ask your girlfriend about my injuries since she is one that’s responsible for them?” “The vampire that I just killed is
responsible, not Jonelle.” Her name on his lips just pisses me off further. I laugh “your vampire may have made it worse, but she
is the one who broke my ribs in the first place.” His eyes turn blood red and he turns heading for the door. He reaches for the
handle before he turns back to look at me. “There are vampires posted outside your window and this door. Do not try anything
stupid again. I can’t afford to keep killing men if they hurt you.” He leaves and I don’t know what the hell to think about what he
just said. “He cares about us” Ara says. “No, he cares about revenge. Don’t even let yourself hope. He will not be our mate, Ara.”
She whimpers, receding to the back of my mind. I hate that I have to be the one to tell her to give up on our mate, but I can’t let
her hold on to hope. Once this is over, the goddess may bless us with a second chance who isn’t an evil pr*ck. One who wants
us with all his heart. I wrap the blanket around myself and the adrenaline that was coursing through my veins is gone.
Exhaustion like I’ve never known envelops me and I give into the darkness.
Magnum POV
After I leave her in the guest room, I find Oscar in the hallway. I had thought about placing her in my room but I know Jonelle’s
scent is all over in there. I don’t know why I care. Actually, I do, it’s this damn bond. I shake those thoughts away as Oscar is
walking toward me rubbing his head. “What the f**k happened?” “I went to check on her just like you asked me to. I smelled
blood so I went inside the cell to check on her and she must have hit me.” I don’t know whether to smile or be pissed. Why would
there be blood? She is definitely a feisty little thing, but did she make herself bleed to make it look like my people injured her or
did Jonelle really do it? She saw what I just did to the ba**ard that hurt her, so it makes sense she would accuse Jonelle. I also
have no doubt that Jonelle would hurt her if she got the chance, but she has never defied my orders before. “Did you see Jonelle
anywhere near the cell with the she-wolf in it?” He looks like I’m not going to like his answer. “Not long after I put the she-wolf in

the cell I found Jonelle standing outside her cell causing her pain. I immediately told her to stop and she left.” “Why the f**k didn’t
you tell me about this earlier?” “I wasn’t sure you would actually care. I mean she is your prisoner.” I’m sure my eyes show my
anger. “Magnum, what the hell is going on with you? If I didn’t know any better, I would think you care about the wolf.” I shoot him
a glare. He raises his hands in surrender.
“I want Jonelle in my office in five minutes.” He nods and heads toward my room. I’m sure that is exactly where she is. I head to
my office and take a seat behind my desk. I am trying to keep a tight leash on my anger at the moment. The door to my office
opens two minutes later and Jonelle walks in with a seductive smile on her face. I stand walking around the desk until I’m

standing in front of her. She takes that as an invitation to wrap her arms around my neck. I force her hands down and look into
her eyes. I grip both her upper arms. “Tell me what you did.” I see a flash of anger and fear. “I don’t know what the hell you’re
talking about Magnum. Let me go you’re hurting me.” I squeeze her arms tighter. “Did you hurt the she-wolf and think very
carefully before you answer me?” I feel her trying to free herself from my grasp. “Answer me now.” “You think I don’t know what
she is to you.” I stiffen at her words. “She is your beloved isn’t she. I know she is and she will never have you. You are mine,
Magnum.” “Whatever she is to me is none of your concern, Jonelle. I never promised you anything but f**king and you will not
disobey my orders. Stay away from the she-wolf. If you disobey me again, you will not like the consequences.” She stays quiet
for a minute before she finally answers me. “I’m sorry Magnum. Please let me make it up to you.” She tries to lower herself to her
knees, but I stop her. “Get out of my office and don’t let me see you for the rest of the night.” She turns heading for the door.
“Remember what I said Jonelle. I will not repeat myself.” She nods before she leaves.
Larisa POV
I’m not sure how much time has passed, but when I wake up it’s dark outside. I really wish that I had my clothes right now. I wrap
the sheet around myself and head for a door that I hope is the bathroom. I’m stuck here and, honestly, I need a shower after
running through the woods. The bathroom is just as beautiful as the bedroom. I drop the sheet on the floor and turn the shower
on, making the water as hot as I can tolerate. My ribs feel much better than they did earlier, but they are still a little sore. I step
into the spray and let the water run over my body. “I’m sorry Larisa” Ara says. “I’m not mad at you, Ara. I know how hard this is
for both of us. We need to focus on getting out of this place and getting back to the pack. I won’t let anyone hurt dad or our
family.” “I know your right and I will do my best to fight the bond, Larisa. You are more important than anyone to me. I will keep us
safe.” I smile “I’m glad we have each other and we will get through this together.” I finish my shower and shut the water off. I turn
to grab my towel and an unfamiliar scent invades my nose. The door handle jiggles and I’m glad that I made sure to lock it before
I got into the shower. I stay quiet and I’m grateful when whoever it was seems to be gone. I finish drying and grab a fresh towel
to wrap around myself. I reach for the handle of the door, but before I can reach it, the door flies open. My eyes go wide when his
heated glare moves up and down my body. I step back and the grin that spreads across his face makes a pit form in my
stomach. Ara growls and I grip the towel tightly. “Why are you in here”, I say to the man that I recognize as one of the men from
earlier in the woods. “Jonelle says we’re allowed to have fun with you and, since Magnum killed the head soldier, I get to go first.”
