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

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

“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

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

I bury my head in her neck, breathing deep. For the first time, I catch a faint smell of creamsicles. “She is our mate, Lincoln.” “I have no doubt, Talon.” I take a few deep breaths before I pull back with a smile

the surface hearing Lily’s story. I rush over, wrapping my arms around his waist. When we both catch each other’s scent, it’s just one more reason for us both to believe that we are mates. “He is definitely our second chance”, Star says. I still can’t believe he is willing to accept the pup growing 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
