Betrayed by My Beta Mate

38 Complete

Atlas POV

“Alpha, Walker and the others have just entered the territory” a patrol guard links me. “Good send them to my office.” I send for Thomas and he joins me before they arrive. “Atlas, are you sure these men can be trusted?” “How will you even know that James is truly dead except for their word?” “You make a good point Thomas but honestly tomorrow it won’t really matter.” “If they betray us they will die just like that ba**ard Lincoln and his pack.” A knock sounds on the door and the men walk in being led by Walker. “Gentlemen it’s good to see you finally returned.” “Give me a full report Walker.” As soon as Walker finishes, I look at the other warriors. Walker goes to speak and I stop him. I walk toward the warrior who looks like he is ready to sh*t his pants. “What is your name boy?” He looks at Walker and I growl. “I asked you a question and I expect an answer.” “I”m sorry Alpha, my name is Jacob.” “Well Jacob, is Elder James dead as Walker says he is?” “Yes Alpha” he says a little too quickly for my liking. “He’s lying” Silas growls. “Snap his f**king neck” Silas says and I push him down. I need to find out what happened and I can’t have Silas go on a killing spree.

I turn to Walker who looks worried for the warrior. I grab Jacob by the throat. “Alpha” Walker says, and I shoot him a glare. “Now do you want to tell me the truth, Walker, or should I snap his neck right here?” “He isn’t dead.” “Max killed Elder Brandon before he was killed.” “We were captured and honestly after speaking to Amelia we can no longer fight by your side.” I laugh at this pathetic wolf. I drop Jacob and slam Walker against the wall. “You spoke to my mate.” “It seems she isn’t your mate because of what you have done to her.” I can feel Silas at the surface and I make no effort to stop him from killing this pathetic wolf. I slam my claw into his stomach and pull it out dropping him to the floor. A puddle of blood pools around him. I link the warriors to come clean up the mess and take the other three traitors to the cells. Once the ba**ards are gone, I sit behind my desk. “You did the right thing, Atlas”, Thomas says. “Leave me, I need to be alone.” “Atlas” he starts to say, but I’m sure he realizes I’m in no mood to talk. Once he’s gone, I flip my desk.

back” Silas says. “You’re not angry with her for f**king another man and turning our pack members against us.” “I blame you for all those things and you will not drive her away again.” “Fine but I will f**k the sh*t out of her for ever letting another man touch what belongs to us.” “Agreed” he says. “Let’s go for a run and get your mind straight Atlas.” “The worst thing you can do is to scare her.” “She is carrying our pup and we need to regain her trust.” I definitely need to shift before I rip my whole office apart. We head downstairs and shift when we get outside. As I run past the border, I catch the scent of rogues. I smile

and step out where they can see me. The older woman pushes the two girls behind her as soon as she catches my scent. “Why are you this close to my pack, rogue?” “Sir, we mean you no harm.” “Alpha, I am the Alpha of this pack and I asked you what your business is here.” I see her eyes get big and fear flash across her face. “Alpha, we are just passing by and we did not cross into your territory.” I step forward “I don’t care if you are in the territory or not.” “You could be trying to determine if my pack has a weakness so your collective can attack.” She tries to back up. “We aren’t part of any collective.” “Please we will leave, there is only three of us.” “We

in every way. I place my forehead against hers. “I know you’re afraid of what your brother is capable of but you need to understand that you’re not alone anymore.” “You are my mate and this pack is our family.” “I just need you to be safe and we have to stop Lucas. “We will I promise.” “Pheobe I don’t want you to feel rushed but I want you to know that I am ready to make you mine when you’re ready.” She blushes and I expect her to shoot me down immediately. She takes my hand “let’s go get Lily to lift her spell and then we can talk more.” I smile that she realized what Lily had done. I start to lead her toward the pack hospital. Once we head into Amelia’s room, Lily looks like the cat that swallowed the canary. “Did you have a nice walk,” Lily asks her. “So you knew

says. She waves her hand and Pheobe smiles. “I promise I won’t leave but we need to talk about Lucas tomorrow.” “I know my brother and he is not going to wait to get what he wants.” She hugs everyone and Lincoln links me. “Congratulations, she is a very lucky woman.” “Thank you, Lincoln.” He turns back looking at his mate. “We will meet first

you need me too.” She stands walking toward me. “Michael, I have never done this before and I’m afraid I won’t know what to do to please
