Betrayed by My Beta Mate

6 Time to Tell

Michael POV

Max and I arrive at the diner. I had to tell Max why we were coming but I didn’t give him all the details. We step out of the car and Max turns to me. “Why is Lincoln waiting to see what’s happening with this she-wolf?” “Even in the human city, Lincoln makes sure wolves know that no issues will be tolerated by our pack.” “He hasn’t even spoke with this woman yet.” “Now were here intervening with more wolves that don’t belong here.” “Last time I checked Lincoln is Alpha and he doesn’t answer to you Max.” “So be a good boy and follow orders.” “F**k you Mikey” he says and I growl at him. “I would be very careful Max, I may be your brother but that won’t stop me from kicking your a**.” “As I already said just follow orders.” “We are here to just have a conversation not kill them.” He flips me the bird before we head inside. As soon as I walk in, I can smell the wolves. They are definitely pack wolves, not rogues. I turn and see the two men sitting in the booth. I walk over and Max follows close behind me. “Good morning, gentlemen.” They look up, trying to act like they didn’t smell us coming in. “Can we help you with something”, the one on the right asks. “As a matter of fact, you can.” “Let’s go outside and talk in the fresh air.” They look at each other. “Don’t mistake this for a request.” I step back so they can get out of the booth. “We are in neutral territory and we haven’t caused any trouble.” “Let’s keep it that way and have a friendly conversation.” “Let’s take our conversation outside so we can speak privately.” They hesitate for a moment but then they make the right decision which I’m grateful for.

They move out of the booth and we follow them to the parking lot. We walk until we are out of the ear shot of the humans. “What are your names and what pack are you from?” I can see they don’t want to answer. “I suggest you answer if you want to stay out of that trouble you mentioned. “My name is Walker and this is Joseph” the one on the right says. “We are warriors from the Darkmoon pack.” “What is your business in the human city?” “This is neutral territory so your pack has no say about what wolves come in and out of it.” I move closer to the a**hole. “You would do well to answer my questions or you will find out just what my Alpha is capable of.” “My Alpha and pack own half this city so it’s his business anytime super naturals decide to step foot into it.” “So, you can either tell us what your business is here or we can take you to the pack cells for a while to think about it.” I can see they are linking each other. “We have been searching all the human cities that surround our pack because our Luna has gone missing.” “Before you ask, we have no details besides she left the pack.” “Our Alpha gives us orders and we follow them.” “I’m sure you know what that’s like, Beta.”

nods at me. I hand him the number. “I would suggest that call happen very quickly or you will be seeing us again.” “You two can enjoy your breakfast but remember that if there is any trouble our next visit will not be so pleasant.” They walk back and head inside the diner. “Why the f**k didn’t you tell them about the woman?” “She could be their missing Luna” Max says. “Until we have all the details, we are not telling them sh*t.” “You don’t think it’s odd that they used the words left not taken.” “We don’t owe her any protection and keeping a Luna from her Alpha could cause a pack war.” “Alpha Lincoln knows what he is doing so you would do well to keep your opinions to yourself.” I can tell he wants to argue but he keeps his mouth shut this time. We head toward the woods and shift running toward the pack. I’m sure Lincoln is finished with his meeting by now and he will want to know what we found

Amelia POV

my mouth out with water. I splash water on my face before I sit down in a chair in the bathroom. Lily sits on the edge of the tub. We sit in silence for a few minutes before Lily finally breaks it. “Amelia, how are you feeling?” “I’ll be alright.” “Teleportation is something you have to get used to” Lily says. “I’ll take your word for it.” I stand up and head out to sit on the couch. Lily comes to sit next to me. “Amelia, I know I said I wouldn’t press you but I know those wolves were looking for you.” “Are you in trouble?” “Please let me help you.” Lily told me her secret and the least I can do is trust her with

I prayed I wouldn’t have to tell again. “I was mated to the Beta of the Darkmoon pack.” I lay my hand on my stomach. “I thought we were happy but I was very wrong.” “I hadn’t felt well my whole pregnancy.” “I was having pain a lot but thankfully every time the doctor checked me the pup was good.” “Never did I think that the pain I was having was related to my mate scr*wing someone else.” She covers her mouth with her hand. “Oh, my goddess Amelia, I’m so sorry.” “How could he violate your bond like that?” I chuckle but it’s not because what I’m about to say is funny. “I wish that was the worst of it.” “The day I left I was in pain again so I decided to go to my mate’s office.” “That’s when I heard them.” “My mate was with someone but not just any

can only hear one side of the conversation. She hangs up and I can’t help myself but ask “Lily is John like you?” She smiles “John and I escaped our coven together but that’s a story for another time.” “He is my cousin and best friend.” “Now let’s get started so we can get you moved in.” She walks over picking up a huge stack of magazines. “Do you have the keys to the apartment?” “I do, why?” She nods toward the door and I go down the hall opening the door to my empty apartment. Once we
