10 Pack

Amelia POV

I can’t believe I’ve agreed to go to the Nightfire Pack. “It’s the right thing to do, Amelia”, Star says. I know she’s right, but I still hate that I’m involving others in my problems with Atlas. “I know Star, I just hope that we can convince the Elders about what Atlas has done so we can raise our pup in peace.” “Have faith, Amelia” she says before she recedes in my mind. I’m in my room with Lily gathering more clothes to take with me. I know she is still hurt that I was leaving without telling her because she has been quiet since we came into this room. “Lily, I’m sorry that I was going to leave without telling you.” She sits on the bed and I can see unshed tears in her eyes when she looks up at me. “I truly understand why you thought leaving was the right choice.” “I was just upset because since I have left home and my mother, you’re the first woman who has felt like family to me.” “I know how crazy that sounds because we haven’t known each other long but if I could pick a sister Amelia, you would be it.” I wrap her in a hug. “I don’t think that sounds crazy, I feel the same way.” “I promise I won’t try to leave again without talking to you.” “Thank you, now let’s get you packed so we can decorate your new room.” I plan to come back to my apartment when everything is settled but it will be nice to make the room I stay in my own. We head back out to the living room where Michael and Lincoln are waiting. I can tell Michael is concerned about Lincoln’s offer to take me to the pack.

I have stayed quiet in my life far too long. “Beta Michael, are you alright with me coming to the pack?” “Amelia” Lincoln begins to say, but I give him a look that leaves no room for discussion. Michael looks at Lincoln when I ask my question. “Michael, I won’t be offended, please speak freely.” I turn to Lincoln, “please give him permission to speak freely.” I can tell Lincoln isn’t happy about my request, but, he does as I ask. “I mean no disrespect Amelia but I’m concerned about Atlas and his plans.” I’m just about to speak but he continues. “Despite those concerns I completely agree with Alpha Lincoln on protecting you and your pup at the Nightfire pack.” I smile “thank you Beta Michael for your honesty.” Lincoln takes my bag and I see a slight smile in the corner of Michael’s mouth as he watches Lincoln. I don’t say anything as we head for the elevator. Once we are in the parking garage I walk toward Lily’s car and I can see that Lincoln wants to say something but he doesn’t. “Looks like the Beta even noticed how Alpha Lincoln is with us”, Star says. “Star, we are not going to have this conversation again.” “He is just being kind, like a good Alpha should.” “Elias would do the same for someone in need.” “You can lie to yourself but I know you feel something toward him and that he is being more than kind to us.” I push her down as he sticks my bag in Lily’s car. I slide into the passenger seat waiting for Lily to get in.

Lincoln POV

in the mirror. Talon and I had been on edge since we got the call from John so he is finally calm. “Alright, what is up with you with this she-wolf?” At first I think about just telling him to drop it, but Michael is the only person I can talk with beside Talon about this.” “I’m not sure Michael.” “What does that mean?” “Besides that taking her to the pack is the right thing to do, I feel some connection to Amelia.” “Lincoln that’s not possible.” “She is still mated to that do*chebag that cheated on her.” “I know Michael but Talon feels it too.” “I can’t explain it but I need her and the pup to be close to us and I would kill anyone that tried to hurt her. “Well, I meant what I said about protecting her.” “Thank you for what you

away, but I can tell by her expression she feels it too. “Amelia, Lily is going to take you into the dining room while I speak to my father.” “Of course, I’m sure you have a million things to do besides entertain me.” “Please don’t feel like you need to rush.” “I’m sure Lily can take me to my room.”

Amelia POV

you think you’re doing sitting here” a woman’s voice comes from behind me. Lily’s head snaps in the voice’s direction. “I suggest you walk away from this table Jennifer, unless you would like us to step outside”, Lily says. I go to stand next to her. “Did you just threaten the future Luna of this pack, witch?” Star growls in my head at her words and I feel a tinge of jealousy, but I push it away. Star is at the surface and I growl. She whips her head in my direction. “Did you just growl at me you filthy rogue?” This b**ch is so lucky there is a pup in my belly right now. I place my hand on my belly without even thinking about it. “Oh, I’m sorry, my mistake, you’re a w***e besides being a filthy rogue.” Before I can stop her, Lily slaps the she-wolf

pointing at Lily. “I was simply trying to tell them they can’t sit at the Alpha table.” “Is this true Lily?” “Yes Luna, I slapped her for the way she spoke to a pack guest.” She looks to me and I bare my neck. “Luna, this is Amelia.” “Alpha Lincoln brought her here today and Jennifer just insulted her.” To my surprise she whirls on Jennifer. “You insulted a guest of the

me properly to our guest.” I smile and we all take a seat. “Luna Lorraine this is Amelia.” “Amelia this is Alpha Lincoln’s mother, Luna Lorraine.” “It’s nice to meet you, Luna.” “It’s nice to meet you as well, Amelia.” “How far along are you?” “I’m about three months.” “What are you having?” “I’m having a boy.” “Boys are sweet but I’m partial since that is what I had.” I chuckle “Amelia, I’m not going to ask you why you are here but I want you to know that you will be treated with respect by this pack no matter the reason.” “I apologize for Jennifer’s behavior but hopefully I have made myself clear to her.” “Now please eat, I’m sure the pup is making
