Betrayed by My Beta Mate

4 Friends

Amelia POV

I grab a sundress from my bag and sandals so I’m ready when Lily gets here. I sit on the couch and about an hour later a knock sounds on the door. I look out the peep whole first, but it’s not Lily. It’s not Atlas either, so I open the door. “Hi, Amelia, right” the young man says. “Yes, how do you know my name?” “Sorry I’m John.” “Lily asked me to bring you some dinner and to let you know she’ll be up as soon as she can.” “We had some rowdy guests she’s dealing with.” He pushes the cart in that I didn’t even notice he had. This time it only has one covered dish on it. “Thank you, John.” “You’re welcome, just call the desk if you need anything else.” “I will” I say before I shut the door locking it. John is human, so I have no reason to think he knows who I am or who Atlas is. Besides, I’m starving and the food smells good. I’m always starving anymore. I was worried, with all that’s happened, I wouldn’t be able to eat, but thankfully I still have my appetite. I lay my hand on my bump. Are you making mommy hungry bean? I take a seat and uncover the plate. Oh, my goddess, it’s chicken Alfredo. I love pasta and white sauce is my favorite. I start eating with gusto. I’m almost done when a knock sounds on the door again.

I go and look out the peep hole and this time it’s Lily. She comes in and sees my eaten plate. “I’m glad you enjoyed the food.” “I did, I hope you got to eat something too.” “Don’t worry about me I’m not growing a person.” “I’ll eat when we get to my apartment.” “Are you ready to go see the apartment?” “Absolutely” I say and we head down to her car. “There’s actually an open apartment three doors down from mine.” “That’s great, I’ll know my neighbor” I laugh. We pull into a parking garage attached to the apartment building. “You’ll have a card to get into the parking area.” “This apartment complex is pretty secure.” “The owner really cares about people.” “Do you remember how I said people helped me when I didn’t know anyone?” “Yes, I do” I say. “The owner of the building was one of those people.” “That’s wonderful that he actually cares about the people that rent from him.” “I’m sure that isn’t a common thing.”

he comes off around the desk with a set of keys. “Follow me and I’ll show you the apartment.” We get into an elevator and take it to the third floor. We pass two doors and stop in front of the third. The apartment reads 315 on the door. “My apartment is 317” Lily says. I smile because I’m really glad that I met Lily. He opens the door and we head inside. I look around and honestly, I love it. It’s not fancy, but I don’t need fancy. It has two bedrooms which is perfect for me and my pup. It has a small kitchen and a nice size living room. “What do you think, Amelia,” Mark asks me. “I’ll take it, it’s great.” Lily hops up and down like a teenage girl. “When will I be able to move in?” “As soon as you’re ready.” “I’ll need

she brings me a glass of water. “So, I’m off tomorrow, if you want, we can do some shopping if you have the money.” I think about my brother-in-law and my sadness creeps in a little. Elias was so kind and I can’t imagine what he is going through right now. “I’m sorry if you don’t want to that’s ok” Lily says. She must have seen the sadness on my face. “No, I was thinking about something else.” “I would love to go shopping with you.” “I’m not going to pressure you to talk to me but know that you can if you ever want to.” “I can’t thank you enough for all the kindness and your friendship.” “So, it’s a date then, shopping tomorrow” Lily says. We drive back to the hotel since I can’t really stay in my apartment until I get a bed. I get out of the car and lean down in the window. “Thank you,

I was able to forget about for a little while today. I look down at my growing belly. I can’t believe what Atlas did to us. No, I’m not going to keep giving him the power to upset me. “You are strong Amelia” Star says. “We both are” I smile. Once I’m dried off and, in my pajamas, I sit back down on the couch. I look at the phone I laid on the table. I think about the last conversation I had with my mother. I think about not seeing them and having this pup without them. “Why don’t you just call them Amelia?” “They aren’t the ones that hurt you” Star says. “They are going to want me to come home and that can’t happen.” “I know my mother thinks I’m wrong because none of us thought Atlas could do such a thing.” “Amelia, your parents love

I’m definitely confused. Atlas is as guilty as Freya. “Freya is not to blame for Atlas’s actions.” “He was a willing participant in the affair.” “Amelia, I’m not talking about the lies she told you.” “Freya killed Elias in cold blood.” “She killed her own mate because she wanted yours.” The room feels like its closing in on me and I feel sick to my stomach. I can’t have heard my mother correctly. “Mom” I say before a voice I never wanted to hear is on the phone. “Love please I can explain everything.” She called that ba**ard after all I told her what he has done. “F**k you Atlas, I heard you with her.” “I swear to you Amelia I would never touch another woman.” “You may have my parents fooled but I know what I heard.” “Forget about me and my pup.” “I intend to forget about you, you

at the surface. The line goes dead and I throw the phone, breaking it against the wall. I look at my mother-in-law and she looks shocked and terrified. I push Silas

Amelia called her parents again.” “We need to find her.” “Have the trackers been able to find out anything?” “The trackers went to all the human cities and packs within two hours of the pack and have found nothing.” I slam my fist down on my desk “then tell them to go three hours” I yell. ” Alpha,
