Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 130

63 Epilogue

Once she is dressed in her purple dress, we head to breakfast. Mason and Micah will be staying in the pack today while everyone heads to the ceremony. I’m happy to see Rose, Oscar, Magnum, and Larisa will be joining us today. I hand Faith to Amelia and we take our seat at the table. “Cayden, how is your mom feeling?” I haven’t had much morning sickness but my mom has it every day. “She is alright. Hudson’s hovering is driving her a little crazy”, Cayden says, and we all laugh. “Wait till Penny is having a pup. You will act just like us”, Eli says. I see a flash of something on Penny’s face but it’s gone so quickly I don’t know if I imagined it. We finish eating and we all head out of the pack house to the SUV’s. We drive about an hour to reach the Red Moon pack. I have never visited this pack but it reminds me of Crescent Moon. The pack house is similar and the cottages are laid out the same way. We park and Eli comes around to open my door. He gets Faith out of her car seat and I take her from him. He takes my free hand and we follow a path that leads to a beautiful garden. “My mother is responsible for this garden”, Cayden says, and I smile. We take our seats and wait for the ceremony to begin.

Cayden POV

As we approach the garden, I can’t help but smile. Mom is so proud of the work she put into it and I’m glad she will get to tend to it again. Everyone starts to take their seats when I notice Rose and Oscar are looking at me. Rose and I never got to have that talk with everything that happened. We have a few minutes before the ceremony. I lead Penny over to them and we follow the path that leads to benches. We all take a seat and I smile at Rose. “Rose, I know you wanted to talk to me and we haven’t had a moment, so I thought we could talk now before the ceremony starts.” She looks at Oscar and he smiles. “I was worried to tell you this but now I realize that was truly silly of me. I have no control of the wolf the goddess blesses me with and I wouldn’t change my wolf for anything.” Now I’m truly confused.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Why would she think I would be upset about her wolf? I can feel Rigg’s happiness through our bond. “Cayden, Clara is my wolf.” Did she just say that Clara is her wolf? I feel Penny squeeze my hand. I sit there processing the fact that my sister was given another chance by the goddess. She was given a chance as Rose’s wolf. I wish things could have been different, but my father is right. She is getting her second chance and she is happy. I stand and Rose does the same. I pull her into a hug. “I’m glad that Clara got an amazing human like you, Rose. I’m glad you both have your mate and you will have a future together. I’m happy she will get to see the woman Faith will become.”

We head back toward the ceremony and I feel lighter. Hearing what my father said and now knowing that Clara is getting a second chance at happiness lessens the pain of losing her. I know that the goddess always has a plan. We just don’t always understand it, but I trust her despite everything that happened. I have suffered in my life but the joy and happiness I have now make it all worth it. I have my mother and a bonus father. I know despite not being able to speak with him, that my father will watch over us. I have a beautiful mate and soon we will have a beautiful pup. She almost slipped at breakfast but we wanted to announce it to my mother and Hudson first. We already told her parents this morning. I can’t wait to tell everyone else later today. I have huge family that wasn’t made by blood alone. All of these people that are gathered here today are my family. We are all living proof that despite being broken because of tragedy, the pieces can be put back together. I look at Eli with his arm wrapped around Cali while she holds Faith. He may have been a broken Alpha, but love has made him whole again.
