Betrayed by My Beta Mate

11 Pack

Lincoln POV

I head to my office to make that call to the Elders. When I reach my office door, Jennifer is waiting. “I need to speak with you, Lincoln, about your visitor.” I don’t like her tone but I just let it go. I really don’t have time for this but I lead her into my office. I don’t invite her to sit because I’m hoping this will be short. “What do you need Jennifer?” “Who is that girl you brought here today?” Now the way she asks that pisses me off. “I think I have made it clear that I do not answer to you, so this conversation is over.” “This is my pack and as Alpha I will bring anyone I want here.” “Lincoln, you have never spoken to me like this and honestly I think you owe me something after all the years we’ve known each other.” “You once thought I was going to be your mate.” She steps into me and places her hands on my chest. “I love you Lincoln, why can’t you just accept me and forget about some stupid mate bond.” “I will be a good mate and Luna.”

I take her wrists in my hands and put them at her side. “Jenn, I did think you would be my mate because it was convenient not because I feel the way you feel.” “I used to wish I did feel it for you instead of having to wait for my other half.” “We have known each other for a very long time and I care for you as a friend and pack member.” “I am going to meet my goddess given mate and if you cannot accept that we are going to have a problem with you remaining in the pack.” She looks at me with a look like I just slapped her. “How could you say that to me?” “You are going to cast me out of the pack for some b**ch you don’t even know.” I growl “be very careful Jenn, I will not tolerate your behavior toward me or my mate” “Our history be damned.” “Fine, Lincoln, I will leave you and your imaginary mate alone.” She walks out of my office without another word.

what she just said is true, but knowing in my heart, it’s not. “She better not give Amelia a hard time, Lincoln”, Talon says. “I will make sure she doesn’t.” I pick up the phone dialing the Elder’s number. Elder James picks up on the second ring. “Alpha Lincoln, it’s good to hear from you.” “It’s good to speak with you also.” “I wish I was calling for a better reason but I’m in need of the Elder’s help.” “I hope nothing has happened to your parents or the pack.” “No, everyone is good but thank you for your concern.” “This is help for a friend of the pack actually.” “It’s funny that you called us for help because Elder Thomas was hoping we could meet with you.” “We wanted to speak about an issue

but it’s not Michael. “Mother to what do I owe this visit?” I get up to hug her before we both take a seat. “Lincoln, I spoke to your father and he told me about your conversation.” “Is the young lady I just met in the dining room your mate?” My mother is nothing if not to the point. “I’m not sure mom, I just know she is important to me and

leaves, Michael comes in and takes a seat. “How did everything go when Amelia found out she is staying on your floor?” I chuckle “I think she would have said more had I given her the opportunity.” He laughs “I’m sure Lily will help her feel comfortable.” I nod “I called you to discuss two things.” “We will be meeting with the Elders tomorrow with Amelia at noon.” “Good, I’m glad we can help her tell the Elders what that ba**ard did.” “I just hope they believe her instead of Atlas” Michael says. “I hope so too.” “The other thing I wanted to talk about is Jennifer.” He rolls his eyes “I told you that girl was going to be a problem when we were teenagers.” “I know you did but I can’t go back.” “I really believed she was going to be my mate.” “I’m just glad I didn’t do anything with her despite her many attempts to get me to.” “That was definitely a smart move Lincoln.” “What did she do this time?” I tell Michael about my conversation with Jenn in the hallway. “She is going to be a problem, Lincoln” Michael says. “That would definitely make your

big deal.” She chuckles “I know that Alphas are a big deal to wolves but Lincoln isn’t a regular Alpha.” She is definitely right about that. Most Alphas wouldn’t get involved with the problems of a she-wolf in their own pack, let alone one from another pack. Lincoln is so much like Elias. So kind and protective of others. “Amelia, what are you thinking about”, Lily asks. I haven’t really spoken with Lily about Elias’s death. I don’t think I’ve really processed it completely. “Lincoln reminds me of my brother-in-law Elias.” She sits on the bed and I sit down next to her. “Elias was so kind.” “He was loving and understanding.” “When I met Atlas, Elias was already mated to Freya.” “He

right now.” “No, I’m not and just because I’m a witch and not a wolf doesn’t mean I can’t sense attraction.” I look down at my belly. “Lily, I’m in no position to be checking out Alpha Lincoln.” “Liar, liar, pants on fire” Star says in my head but I ignore her. I change the subject, hoping she’ll let
