Betrayed by My Beta Mate

48 Its Time Wolf

Lincoln POV

The minute Amelia shifts into Star, it takes my breath away. She is the most beautiful wolf I have ever seen. Her fur looks like silk and it’s the most perfect chocolate brown color. I know Talon is ready to be with her, but right now, we have to run with the pack. “I promise you, Talon, as soon as the celebrations is over you will have time with Star to mate and mark.” I press my lips to her snout before I shift. She does not make it easy when she rubs her soft fur down Talon’s side. “Soon Talon”, I say, and he takes off. As we run, I have never felt so connected to my pack. We run the border of the territory and once we return, we both shift. After dinner we will have our time with Star. Before we head to the banquet hall, I lead Amelia upstairs. We are standing outside our office and I stop her before we go inside. “Lincoln, shouldn’t we be down at the dinner?” “We should, but I made a decision and I would like to take care of it before we go to dinner.” She looks confused but I don’t explain. I just lead her into the office.

When we walk in, Lily, Neal, and Elder James are waiting for us. She looks around and then back at me. “I have decided that Neal will be Gamma and Lily will be Gamma Female.” “They asked me to do it privately as to not take away from yours and Pheobe’s ceremony.” She looks into my eyes and tears run down Amelia’s cheek. I wipe them away with my thumb. “Thank you, Lincoln.” “This is amazing” she says before she rushes over hugging Lily and then Neal. “Well, I believe it’s time to make it official” Elder James says. I take the dagger from my desk cutting my hand allowing my blood to once again run into the chalice. “Neal, make your vow to the pack” Elder James says. “I, Neal Connor Martin, vow to put the needs of the pack above my own.” “I will support the Alpha and Luna in all pack matters.” “I will defend the pack with my last breath.” He drinks and I feel his connection to me get stronger. “Lily, make your vow to the pack” Elder James says. “I, Lily Teresa Martin, vow to put the needs of the pack above my own.” “I will support the Alpha and Luna in all pack matters.” “I will use my powers to defend the pack with my last breath.” Elder James turns to me. “Neal Connor Martin you are the Gamma of the Nightfire Pack from this day forward.” I turn to Lily “Lily Teresa Martin, you are the Gamma Female of the Nightfire Pack from this day forward.” I shake Neal’s hand and hug Lily. Amelia does the same. We all head down to the banquet hall. The moment we step inside, Pheobe and Michael are waiting for us. We stand before the pack and I formerly announce Neal and Lily as Gamma. The pack breaks out into howls and we all take our seats at the table.

Amelia POV

for a few hours. Once we are alone in the clearing, I start to take off my clothes and Lincoln does the same. I give Star control and we shift. Lincoln does the same and before Talon can get close, Star takes off. “Star what the hell?” She laughs “this is wolf foreplay, Amelia.” I roll my eyes and stay quiet. They run for a long while before they return to the clearing. I feel like a voyeur as they complete the mating. I’m sure this is

Damien POV

handle, the door flies open. Trent is holding a barely conscious Carter. “What the f**k happened” I ask Trent. “I’m not sure Damien.” “We found him outside the collective when we were looking for Maureen.” “Why the f**k would you bring him here instead of the medical cottage you a**hole?” “He was coming in and out of consciousness and he insisted Damien” Trent says. He picks Carter up over his shoulder, to take him to the medical cottage. “I want to know the minute he is awake, am I clear.” “Yes Damien”, he says and leaves my office. What the hell is happening? “You better get

have something to tell me and not just to waste my time.” She comes around the desk and puts her hands on my shoulders. “You’re so tense” she says starting to rub my shoulders. I snatch her hands “enough, tell me what you know about Maureen’s whereabouts or get the f**k out of my office.” “Fine, I just thought you could use a little stress relief.” “I don’t need stress relief, I need to know where my mate is.” She laughs “does she know she is your mate.” “If she wants to keep
