28 It’s Not A Dream
Calliope POV
Every time I have tried to talk to Aurora about the pup in our vision, she sounds like a fortune cookie.
“You’ll know soon enough but the road to happiness with our pup and mate won’t be easy.” I’ve stopped
asking but the pup gues my dreams. A knock on the door gets my attention. “Calliope, breakfast is
ready”, my mother says. I head to the bathroom to shower and get ready for training before I have
breakfast. When I walk into the kitchen, my heart sinks. My father is sitting at the table. This isn’t
possible, it has to be a bad dream. “It’s not a dream, Calliope. He is here in the flesh”, Aurora says. “Let
me kill him and wipe that smug look off his face”, Aurora says. “We need to find out where mom is
before we do anything.” I feel bile rise in my throat. “Good morning, daughter” he says with the evilist
grin on his face. “How,” I ask. How could they possibly get through the protection spell undetected?
“Where is my mother?” “Oh, don’t worry, she is still alive for now. If she stays that way is up to you.” I
growl “if you hurt my mother, I will rip your head from your body.” Heughs “always thinking your
something you’re not.” He stands walking toward me and I try to step back. He grabs my chin firmly
“this is why you, a weak female, could never beat an Alpha like me. You think with your heart” he says,
poking me in the chest. “Women are good for one thing and you will learn your ce is to please the
man I choose for you and bare his pups. You will learn it even if I have to beat you into submission.”
Every part of me wants to show him right now who the real Alpha is, but I know that I can’t for my
mother’s sake. I need to find out where he took her and then kill this ba**ard. I hard p across my
face knocks me to the floor. “I am the Alpha and that is just a little of what you and your wh*re of a
mother can expect for your betrayal.” I rush to my feet and growl. I’m just about to charge him when he
smiles. “I wouldn’t if I were you. If I don’t return, Simone has orders to kill that b**ch.” I breathe getting
myself under control. “Now you’re going to go with me quietly or your mother is dead.” “You think you
can just walk through the collective and no one will notice or stop you.” He smiles reaching into his
pocket and pulling out a vial. Its contents are a shimmering purple liquid. He pops the top and downs
the liquid. Right before my eyes, he turns into Carter. Even his scent is gone. He doesn’t have Carter’s
scent. He smells of nothing. “Now let’s go. It’s time to go home.” That is not my home and it never will
be again. He thinks he has won, but I will never submit to him or any man. I will go, but only to save my
mother from this ba**ard. He grabs my arm and we start outside. The yard is empty except for some
children ying.
As soon as Sarah sees me and who she thinks is her father, she rushes toward us. Goddess, please
protect this pup. She wraps me in a hug first. “Cali, do you want toe y with us?” I bend down so
I’m at her eye level. “I would love to, but we need to go to training. Later we can watch a movie,
alright?” She smiles and starts back toward her friends. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back for her and her sl*t of
a mother. She was given to me by the goddess and I n to have what is mine.” Aurora is pushing to
the surface when I feel a pinch in my arm. I pull away and notice he him putting a syringe in his pocket.
“What the f**k did you just give me?” “Don’t worry Cali, it’s a little wolfsbane to keep your wolf in check.”
“Don’t call me Cali, we are not friends” I snap at him. “That mouth will be the first thing I deal with when
I get you back to the pack.” I roll my eyes and start to walk toward the trees. I can’t reach Aurora and I
can’t risk trying to reach Lily until I know where my mother has been taken. We reach the border and
are approached by a wolf who bears his neck to Carter. I want to scream, don’t you realize his scent is
different, but the wolf just moves on. We leave the collective and I say prayer to the goddess keep me
and my mother safe.
Alpha Mateo POV
As soon as Simone returned and told me about her n to get my treacherous mate and daughter, I
was ready. When we reached the border, the protection spell was still in ce but it was weaker.
Simone was able to procure a spell that shielded us from detection. She also gave me two vials. I
drank the first. When we arrived at the cottage where I can scent my ex-mate, we head inside. I walk
into the kitchen where she is standing at the counter cooking. “It smells delicious mate.” She turns so
slowly, it’s almostical. “Mateo” she says, and I can see she is about to scream when Simone
silences her. “No yelling for help Jasmine. Aren’t you happy to see your mate?” She shakes her head
vigorously and that just pisses me off. I walk over, grabbing her by the throat. “You’re lucky I have ns
for you or I would snap your neck right here.” I expect tears to stream down her face, but she just
stares back at me even when I push my aura forward. What the hell? I throw her down on the floor and
Simone picks her up. “Take her to the cells. I’ll be along after I get the other guest of honor.” They
disappear and I take a seat at the table waiting for Calliope toe.
As soon as we reach the pack, I lead her down to the cells. Simone is gone but Jasmine is sitting on a
dirty cot. I smile seeing her right where she belongs. “Calliope” she says, rushing toward the bars. As
soon as she touches them, she pulls her hands back. The burns from the silver are visible. “I wouldn’t
touch if I were you. Silver burns can be quite nasty and, without medical attention, couldst for a long
time.” “F**k you Mateo” she spits with all the venom she can muster. “No thank you, the omegas are far
better. In fact, let me show you.” I open the cell door, throwing my daughter inside. I grab Jasmine
before she can even attempt to stop me. I close the door locking it. “Don’t worry Calliope, I won’t kill her
yet.” I drag Jasmine up the stairs to the room we used to share. I push her down into a chair that faces
the bed. I mind link Madison one of the omegas I’ve been f**king. She knocks before she walks in. She
stops when she makes eye contact with Jasmine. “Strip” I say and I can see hesitation on her face.
“The Luna” she starts to say and I growl shaking the walls. “She is no longer the Luna of this pack.
When I give orders, you follow them. Do you understand?” “Yes Alpha,” she says and starts to strip. I
look at Jasmine expecting to see anger or hurt but her face is devoid of any expression. What the hell
is happening with this woman?
As soon as I’m done, I dismiss Madison, who rushes from the room. I walk over, running my finger
down Jasmine’s cheek. She pulls away and I grab her chin roughly. “If you had been a good Luna none
of this would be happening.” She chuckles only pissing me off further. “Something to say” I ask
releasing her chin. “In order to be a good Luna, you need to be mated to a real Alpha.” I see red and
lose control. I smack her across the face, knocking her off the chair. She looks up at me with anger, not
fear. I reach down, grabbing her by the neck. “I’m not sure what you think, but make no mistake, you
are not leaving this pack alive.” This time I pull back, punching her in the face. She goes limp and I
drop her to the floor. I link Benson, my new Beta, toe to my room. When he arrives, he looks at
Jasmine lying unconscious on the floor. “Take her to the cells but make sure she is not put in with
Calliope.” “Alpha” he says my name like a question. “I would follow orders, or you can join them.” “Yes
Alpha”, he says as he scoops her into his arms. Once she is gone, I smile to myself. It’s time to take
back what should have been mine from the beginning. My wolf stirs hearing me talk about Abigale. He
has been quiet and refused to shift until he gets what he wants. “I want her Mateo.” “I know, we will
have her. She will be our mistress and we will find a strong Luna to rece that weak b**ch.” He only
cares about having his mate, but he knows I won’t make her Luna. He will ept my terms if he can
have Abigale.
Calliope POV
It’s been three days since Mateo brought us back to this hell. I refuse to call him my father. When
Benson brought my mother back, I wished I could feel Aurora. She was unconscious and I could see
her nose was broken. Every part of me wanted to shift and rip this whole pack apart. “I’m sorry
Calliope” he said as heid her in the cell next to mine. “Is this the man you want to follow? Do you see
what he did to my mother? Is that the actions of a man you consider your leader?” I could see regret in
his eyes as he left us alone. She thankfully woke up a few hourster and she was able to fix her nose
that Mateo broke. I insisted she tell me exactly what he did and I hate him even more. I don’t me
Madison and neither does my mother. She says what he did in front of her didn’t hurt her, but I don’t
know if that’s true. He was once her mate. We haven’t seen him since that night, but I know he has
more nned for us both. I just pray that I can reach Aurora before it happens. I’ve stopped eating the
food because it’s the only way he could be giving me wolfsbane. It has to be the reason I still can’t
reach Aurora. My connection to Lily won’t even work and I assume it has to do with me not being able
to reach Aurora.
I have no idea how much time has passed when I hear the door open. That ba**ard walks downstairs,
followed by Benson. “Good evening,dies. Jasmine, your nose looks better.” She doesn’t answer but I
do. “Only a man that is weak and pathetic hits a woman without warning. Take me outside and I will
dly show you who is weak.” Heughs and turns to Benson. “You are going to have your hands full
with this one, but don’t worry I will help you break her.” Benson smiles and I feel sick to my stomach.
“Don’t you dare touch my daughter you ba**ard.” “He is going to do more than touch her. Calliope,
Benson will be your mate and the future Alpha of the pack.” I look at Benson and his smile makes my
skin crawl. I have known him since we were children. We trained side by side for years and he has
always been nothing but respectful to female warriors. How can power and status change people so
much? The door to the cell opening brings me out of my thoughts. “Aurora, please I need you.” She
doesn’t answer and the little hope I had vanishes when Benson pulls me out of the cell. I could take
him one on one, but my father is here. He leads me up to a room on the second floor. There is a guard
waiting and he pushes me inside. “Benson, remember what we talked about. You are to be Alpha, you
need her to submit.” “Yes, Alpha” he says and turns closing the door. He is facing me and I take a
fighting stance. I would rather die than submit to this man.
