Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 123

57 The Challenge

Larisa POV

Did she just challenge me for my mate? Magnum’s hand tightens on mine. I turn to see the woman from earlier that was shooting me dirty looks with a huge smirk on her face. Magnum releases my hand and before I can stop him, he has the woman by the throat against the wall. She is doing everything she can to loosen his grip on her, but her attempts are futile. I lay my hand on Magnum’s arm. “Let her go, Magnum” I say and his eyes snap to mine. I’m grateful when he drops her on the floor. She is gasping for air as she tries to move away from him. I bend so I am eye to eye with her. “You cannot challenge me for my mate or position. Not only because I’m not marked, but because he is not a possession. Having said that, I will gladly fight you because you’re stupid enough to challenge me to fight.” I see a smirk spread across her face as she rubs her neck. “Fine, I’m sure he will want me after he sees how pathetic you are mutt.” I can feel the rage radiating off of Magnum. “So, you want this to be a challenge to the death instead of submission” I say making sure that is what she truly wants. She nods and Magnum takes my hand in his. “Does she have any family,” I ask Magnum. I’m shocked to see Glenda step forward. I see sadness in her eyes and my heart breaks for her. “My Queen, she has made her choice. I have told her over and over that she has no right to want something that was never meant for her. Beloveds are sacred and she should have put more effort into finding hers, instead of trying to take yours.”

“Shut up Glenda, you are just as pathetic as these mutts. I’m your sister and you should stand by me no matter what I do. Maybe I’ll kill you traitor a** next.” A growl shakes the room and I turn to see Liam’s eyes are black. “Glenda go to your mate.” She does as I ask and as soon as she reaches him, Liam begins to calm down. I turn back to the woman who has now made it to her feet. “I guess you’ve made your choice” I say before I turn to walk outside the mansion. Magnum follows the two of us out

and I can see he isn’t happy that I accepted her challenge, but the coven members will not see me as a leader if I back down from her. Magnum comes to stand in front of me. “You don’t need to do this. You are my beloved and you have nothing to prove.” “I know you have never seen me fight but I’m a warrior and I need to do this. If you want me to stand by your side to rule the coven, they need to know I’m strong. That I will be here to fight and protect them just like I would do for my pack.” The anger that was plaguing his handsome face begins to slip. “You better kill her a** quickly. I have plans for you, my Queen.” He surprises me when he presses his lips to mine. When he pulls back, he winks at me before he steps to my side. I nod to Liam.

“This is a challenge made by Brenda Larkin against the coven’s future Queen, Larisa Thomas. The rules of the challenge are simple. No one outside the challengers can interfere and it’s not over until someone is dead.” He looks at me and I nod. He looks at Brenda and she nods. He steps back and we both take a fighting stance. “Show this b**ch what’s up”, Ara says, and I can’t help but chuckle at my wolf. We start to circle each other and I wait for her to make the first move. I need to see what kind of fighter she is. She comes closer throwing the first punch, which I easily sidestep. She turns and I punch into her right side. She grunts and manages to back up, trying to steady herself. “You f**king b**ch” she says as she picks her head up. She’s guarding that side and I’m sure I broke some ribs. If looks could kill, she would have won already. She comes at me and I can tell her movements are fueled by anger. She charges me and I do a roundhouse kick connecting with her face. She lands on the ground with a thud. She gets to her feet again and she runs at me. This time she uses her speed to connect with me. She digs her claws into my side and it burns like hell. I bring my elbow back and into her nose. Blood begins to pour out and she releases my side. I can feel my own blood running down my side and soaking my shirt.

Ara will work on healing me, but it still hurts like hell. She smiles despite the blood on her face. I’m done with this b**ch. I use my own speed to rush her this time and superman punch her in the face. It knocks her off her feet and I don’t give her a chance to get up this time. I rain punch after punch down on her face. I reach down gripping her throat and her eyes get big. I elongate my claws and rip out her

throat. I stand to my feet and drop her flesh on the ground. I look around at the coven members who gathered to watch the challenge. “I am here to be with my mate and protect the coven. I will always protect you, but if you do anything against me, this is your fate” I say pointing to the dead vampire on the ground. All those that are present bow and I nod. “Oscar have the soldiers take care of the body.” He turns to the coven. “I want everyone in the yard at nine tomorrow, no exceptions.” Everyone nods before they begin to disperse. Before I can say anything, I’m thrown over Magnum’s shoulder. He heads toward the mansion and I can hear Rose laughing behind us. “Magnum, I’m covered in blood.” “Sweetness, I’m a vampire and honestly I wouldn’t care what you were covered in. You are mine and I’m about to make sure that everyone knows it.” A shiver runs down my spine at his words.

Magnum POV

It took everything I had in me not to snap that b**ch’s neck when she challenged Larisa. I finally have my beloved and someone wants to take her from me. I will never let that happen. Watching her fight is the sexiest thing I have ever seen. She seems like such a kind and soft soul, but she is right. She is a warrior. Brenda is a trained soldier and Larisa is kicking her a**. When she finally ends her my body relaxes. I couldn’t be prouder when she addresses the coven, because she is my queen and nothing is going to change that. The vampires can either accept it or die. I have killed for her before and I will do it again. I don’t know why the goddess thought me worthy enough to give me an amazing beloved like Larisa, but I’m grateful she did. I will spend the rest of my days worshiping her like the queen she is. As soon as she’s done speaking, I throw her over my shoulder. I need her more than I need my next breath. I take the steps two at a time and lead her to the room that I have made into ours. Once we are inside the room, I set her on her feet. Despite the blood that is covering her body, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I can see her confusion about the room we’re in.

“Isn’t this the room I was in before I left?” “After I sent you away, I started using this room to be surrounded by your scent. I want this to be the room we share. You can change anything you want about it as long as you share it with me.” “I love this room and I want to share everything with you.” She

takes my hand and leads me to the ensuite bathroom. She turns to face me before she pulls her shirt over her head. She pulls her pants down her legs and she is left in lace bra and panties. I can feel my c**k twitch in my pants. She walks over and turns the shower on before she walks back to me. I have never been nervous with a woman, but she isn’t just a woman. She is my beloved. Her hands grip the hem of my shirt and I help her pull it over my head. I rub my hands down her arms and the tingles are doing nothing for my control. I wrap my arms around her and unsnap her bra, dropping it to the floor. Goddess she’s gorgeous. Her breasts pressed against my chest is making my c**k harder than it’s ever been. I run my hands down her back and cup her supple a** in my hands. She kisses my pec before she steps back and shimmies out of her panties. She steps into the shower and I quickly rid myself of my pants and boxer briefs. I won’t take her the first time in the shower, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make her scream my name.

I step in behind her and watch as she washes her body. The blood swirling down the drain and leaving behind her perfect porcelain skin. When she turns to wash the shampoo from her hair, I go to my knees. “Magnum” she says in a breathy voice. “I’m going to worship your sweet p**sy until you c*m all over my mouth. Then I’m going to make you mine completely.” Her breath catches at my words but she stares down at me. I lean forward and start to circle her cl*t with my tongue. Her moan is the sweetest sound I’ve ever heard. “Magnum, that feels so good” she says as I lick her from opening to clit. I eat her like she is the best meal I’ve ever had. Her taste on my tongue is making pre-c*m bead at the tip of my c*ck. She threads her fingers in my hair and I can feel she is getting close as she b**ks her hips against my mouth. I bite lightly on her cl*t and she screams out my name. My name on her lips is enough to make me go off like a teenage boy. I stand and slam my lips down on hers so she can taste her sweet juice on my lips.

I shut off the shower and dry her quickly. I need to be inside her. I need to mark her as mine. I lift her and carry her to the bed. As I hover over her, I see nothing but love and acceptance in her eyes. “Larisa, this is going to hurt at first, but I promise I’ll make you feel good.” She lays her hand on the side

of my face. “I trust you, Magnum. Make me yours and become mine.” I line my c**k up with her opening and start to push forward. Her p**sy is so tight, it’s perfect. She is made for me. I feel her barrier and I kiss her deeply as I push forward. I swallow her screams. I give her a minute to adjust to my presence before I start to move again. I pull back and she digs her nails into my back. “Magnum please” she says, and it’s all the encouragement I need to move faster. I start to rock my hips and I can feel the familiar build of my climax, but I need her to go over with me. I bring my hand between us and begin to circle her cl*t as I thrust deep into her body. I know she’s close and I bring my fangs to her marking spot. The minute I taste the tang of her blood in my mouth, she screams out her orgasm. I pull my fangs out, licking my fresh mark. I feel the sting of her marking me and it pushes me over the edge. I c*m hard enough to see stars. The bond is complete and this woman is everything to me. I will never let her go. I roll to the side and pull her close to me. “Magnum, thank you for coming back for me and accepting me.” I turn her to face me. “I will always come for you and I am lucky that you could see the man that I was despite all that I did.” I press a soft kiss to her lips and she lays her head on my chest. I know that a battle is coming, but with her by my side, I know we will be fine
