Betrayed by My Beta Mate

12 How You Feel

Amelia POV

Did he just really ask me that question? “He most certainly did and I swear to the goddess if you lie, Amelia, I’m going to keep you up all night singing until you tell the truth”, Star says. “You traitor aren’t you scared” I say and she recedes in my mind without answering me. “Now who is talking to their wolf” Lincoln chuckles. “Before I give you my answer can I ask why you’re asking me this question?” He takes my hand and I feel faint tingles that I once felt for Atlas. It isn’t possible my bond isn’t even broken. “Have faith that all things are possible and be honest”, Star whispers. He starts to answer but I raise my hand to stop him. “That’s not fair you asked me a question and I need to stop being afraid because of what Atlas did.” “I need to be honest with you.” I can see his distaste for even Atlas’s name but he stays quiet. “I was twenty when I found out that Atlas was my mate.” “Despite my father forbidding me to accept the bond because of his Beta status I did.” “I wanted my goddess given mate.” “We were happy or so I thought until all this happened.” I take a deep breath and continue. “Before I met Atlas, I found men attractive but I never wanted to be with any of them.” He growls and his eyes darken. I get to my point so he understands why I’m telling him all these things.

“The first time I met you I was more than attracted to you.” “Both Star and I felt something, but couldn’t describe it.” “When you touched my hand, I felt a sensation I’ve never felt.” “It wasn’t exactly the mating tingles, but it was something that made me nervous.” “I couldn’t understand why I would be feeling anything still being mated to that ba**ard Atlas” He smiles and I keep going because if I don’t get this all out I will never have the courage to do this again. “Every time I have spent time with you that feeling, connection has felt stronger.” “When that girl downstairs said she was your future Luna earlier both Star and I felt anger and jealousy.” “I don’t understand how it’s possible but yes I feel a connection to you and your wolf.” The smile on his face is brilliant.

Lincoln POV

beat speed up. I want to know the answer, but that doesn’t mean I’m not afraid of what that answer might be. What if she says she doesn’t feel what I feel? “Lincoln, you know in your heart that’s not true, just let her talk”, Talon says. When she starts to speak, I feel like my heart is going to beat out of my chest. I hate hearing about that ba**ard but knowing that she feels something for me is amazing. “It’s my turn” I say squeezing her hand in mine. “Amelia, the moment I met you, Talon and I both knew you were special.” “I have never felt a connection to a she-wolf.” “I know you still bear his mark and the bond is not completely broken but I know in my heart that you are my mate.” I see a single tear run down her face. I reach up, wiping the tear from her cheek with my thumb. She places her hand on her

for permission. She smiles and nods while I place my hand against her. She lays her hands on top of mine. We sit in silence for a few minutes before I feel movement under my hand. “Oh, my goddess was that the pup?” She laughs “yes, he is always kicking me.” “We’re having a boy” I ask with wonder in my voice. I can see her smile fall at my words. “What’s wrong Amelia?” “I know you think we’re mates and I believe that your right but it’s not fair of me to expect you to be a father to another man’s pup.” “You’re the Alpha of this pack.” “They expect you to have your own heir.” I bend down on my knees in front of her. “Amelia, look at me.” “You are my fated mate and I choose you and our son.” Now the tears run down both her cheeks. “Please don’t cry, I never want to see you cry.” “I just can’t believe this is happening.” I stand up and help her to her feet. “This is definitely happening.” “I plan

Amelia bury her head in my chest. “I’m not going away Amelia”, Lily says. Amelia steps out of my arms and stands by my side. The blush on her face is beautiful. I can see she doesn’t know what to say, so I save my mate. “I am Amelia’s second chance mate.” Lily’s eyes get big and she starts to jump up and down screaming. “Oh, my goddess this is amazing.” “You two are perfect for each other.” She rushes over and wraps Amelia in a hug. As she hugs her, I remember something Amelia said when we were confessing our feelings. “Amelia” she pulls back from Lily. “What were you

our mate, Lincoln.” “I have no doubt, Talon.” I take a few deep breaths before I pull back with a smile on my face. “You smell like my favorite treat as a kid.” She looks at me with confusion. “You smell like creamsicles.” Her

in my belly. He is an amazing man and Alpha. “Amelia would it be ok if we spoke with my parents.” I can feel the nerves that I had before our conversation come back tenfold. I can’t imagine his parents are going to be happy he’s mate isn’t pure and is carrying another man’s pup. He steps in front of me, “Lily can you give us a moment alone.” “Of course, Lincoln” she says and she is gone. “Amelia, I can tell your nervous but I have spoken with both my parents about my feelings for you.” “You told them I’m your mate.” “You were that sure?” He smiles “I told you I have no doubt that we are mates.” “My parents have always been supportive and this is no different.” “Ok, let’s go talk to
