Betrayed by My Beta Mate

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.

you get to the pack, please take her into the dining room until I speak to my father.” “I’m sure he will be waiting after I left so abruptly and I don’t want him to insult Amelia because he thinks she is a rogue.” “No problem, Alpha” Lily says. “Lily, you know you don’t have to use my title unless we are in a formal setting.” “I know but after what you just did for my friend you deserved to be called Alpha.” She winks before she gets into the driver’s seat. I roll my eyes and chuckle, heading to our car. Once I’m in the car, Michael drives out of the parking complex. He starts to drive toward the pack and I can see Lily’s car is following us 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 said and trusting what I’m saying.” “Lincoln

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.” “I won’t be long and I will show you to your room” I say because I’m sure she is going to wonder why she will be on the Alpha floor. She smiles and I feel the warmth in my chest. “Well, I’m starving so the dining room is perfect.” We walk into the pack house and my father is sitting in the living room just as I knew he would be.” As soon as he sees Amelia, he stands coming toward me. Lily leads her to the dining room as I asked before he reaches us. “Lincoln, what the hell is going on?” “Come to my office father, we can

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 Alpha?” “How was I to know she was his guest?” “That’s exactly the point of this conversation Jennifer” the Luna says. “You have no right to speak to anyone rudely.” “I suggest you leave this room and think about your behavior.” I can see she wants to scream but

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
