Betrayed by My Beta Mate

42 Keep Her Safe

Amelia POV

My heart breaks as I hear this woman talk about losing her mate. I can’t help but think that the ba**ard she is running from killed him and I’m sure she believes the same even though she doesn’t say it. The fact that he could threaten that precious little girl makes me sick. Star growls “disgusting excuse for a wolf.” “I agree Star, they need our protection from that ba**ard that wants to use her like a damn breeder.” “Lincoln, we need to help them” I link him. “I agree love, you are my Luna and you don’t need my permission to extend safety to anyone.” I smile because I couldn’t love this man more. I worry she won’t accept our invitation but I’m hopeful she will because of Penny. She agrees and I feel relief that they are safe but we will have to find out exactly what we are dealing with. I stand to lead them to one of the cottages and I feel a sharp pain in my belly before I feel liquid start to run down my leg. I stop walking immediately and look down to see blood pooling at my feet. I thought my water broke but I feel panic spread through my body at the sight of the blood. This isn’t supposed to be happening. The doctor said everything was alright. I turn and Lincoln is already coming around the desk.

“Lincoln I’m bleeding.” “I know love, we need to get you back to the hospital.” I panic and link Lily “please get to the office I need you now.” Seconds later she appears with Penny. The minute she sees the blood she wraps me in her arms not waiting for an explanation. “Go to the hospital” she yells at Lincoln before we disappear. When we reappear the doctor and nurses are already waiting for us. They place me on the gurney and start to wheel me down the hall. “It’s ok Luna, we will get the pup out safe.” I say a prayer that he’s right because I can’t lose our little bean. I say a prayer to the goddess as they wheel me into a room. The doctor begins to move the wand from the ultrasound machine over my belly and I can tell by his face that it isn’t good. “What wrong tell me now” I demand. “Luna” he says and the door flies open. Lincoln rushes in taking my hand. “What the f**k is happening” he growls at the doctor. Talon is at the surface and I know he’s upset but being angry won’t change what’s happening. I squeeze his hand to calm him down. He looks down at me and his eyes return to their beautiful blue color.

face “I’m here with you love, you both are going to be fine.” He leans down and kisses me. The doctor and nurse wheel me to another room without Lincoln. Once I’m prepped and ready for the c-section they bring Lincoln in. I thought I would have to do this alone so I’m happy to see him. He takes a seat by my head and runs his hand through my hair offering me comfort. “I’m scared Lincoln.” “I know but we will get through this together.” “Have you thought about any names love?” I smile he’s trying to take my mind off what’s happening.” I haven’t been able to pick any

together for her right now. They wheel her away and I take

alright, our pups alright” she whispers and I lean in and kiss her lips. “Yes love, he’s perfect.” She chuckles “you haven’t even seen him yet.” “I don’t have to, he’s our pup.” “He can’t be anything but perfect.” “Go check on him Lincoln please” she says. I hate to leave her but I do as she asks heading over to a basinet where the nurses are cleaning up my son. “Congratulations Alpha” the two nurses say and I reach down touching his tiny hand with my large finger. “That’s our pup Lincoln” Talon says. I smile amazed that my wolf has accepted my pup so easily like he was always meant to be ours. I knew he would but hearing him say it looking at him is amazing. Before I can ask how much he weighs I hear the doctor’s tone change speaking to the nurse helping him with Amelia. I turn to see

I would kill a man for speaking to me this way but right now I’m not the Alpha. I am a man who needs his mate and the doctor is the one who can help her not me. I walk toward the door looking back once at them working on Amelia. I walk out of the room and stop in the hallway. I walk to a chair about five feet from the door and sit. I won’t move from this spot until I know they are both alright. I watch a nurse run down the hall with bags of blood in her hand. I can’t believe this is happening. An hour ago, we were in the office and I was so proud of her. She is the perfect Luna and mate. She cares about our pack and others. “Have faith the goddess won’t take her from us” Talon says. “I hope your right because I won’t survive losing her.” I put my face in my hands and just wait. A few minutes later I feel a hand on my back and pick up my head to see my mother standing next to me. “Lincoln” she says and I stand wrapping my arms around my mother. “Lincoln, Amelia is strong and she will fight to be here with you and your son.” “He’s beautiful and perfect mom but I need her to be alright too.” “She will, I have faith she will.” I hear the door open and immediately turn to see the doctor coming

the doctor and pull him into a hug. “Thank you for saving my mate and pup.” “No thanks is necessary for saving the Luna or the future Alpha.” I step back and he smiles before he turns to go back in the room. I turn to my mother “I told you that girl is strong and she is not going anywhere.” I hug her and say a prayer of thanks to the goddess for keeping Amelia safe. Thirty minutes later a nurse comes out and leads me to the Luna room where Amelia is feeding our pup. I can feel the tears in my eyes and I make no effort to stop them from flowing down my cheeks. “Come here love” she says and I walk over to the side of her bed. She motions for me to slide in next to her and I do just that wrapping my arms around both of them. As
