Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 17

17 New Pack Members

Lincoln POV

“Elder James, I want to thank you for listening to us and not being as closed minded as Elder Thomas.” “I mean no disrespect but it was very evident he is siding with Atlas.” “I respect my fellow Elder, but we do not share the same ideas of women in our society.” “Regardless of his opinion I have the final say and I will make sure that he understands as such.” “Honestly, Lincoln, this is not how I expected our visit to go today.” “That’s true you said you needed my help.” “So please, what can we do for you.” He smiles “we did need your help to locate Amelia after Atlas told Elder Thomas she ran away due to the lies Freya told her.” “Obviously that is no longer the case.” “What happens now Elder James” I ask. “I will return to the other Elders and we will have a discussion on how to proceed.” “I ask that you do not attack Darkmoon however if they present any threat to you or your Luna you have the Elders permission and support to defend your pack.” “We will be making a visit to the Darkmoon to launch a formal investigation into the death of Alpha Elias and Atlas’s disgusting behavior.” He turns to Neal “Neal we can find placement for you in a pack as I’m sure you do not wish to return to the Darkmoon” Elder James says. “That will not be necessary, Neal will be joining the Nightfire Pack.” Elder James looks at me with shock on his face.

“You are a remarkable man, Alpha Lincoln, to extend such an invitation” Elder James says to me. He turns to Neal, “Neal, I am proud of you.” “Many Betas wouldn’t do the right thing and would never go against their Alpha.” “Elias is the only Alpha I had at the Darkmoon Pack”, Neal says. Elder James nods before he stands. “I will be in touch Alpha Lincoln and Luna Amelia.” I love that he acknowledges her as my Luna. I stand and shake his hand before he leaves. I turn and Amelia wraps her arms around me “thank you, Lincoln, for accepting me and arranging this meeting.” “You never have to thank me love, I will defend you with my last breath.” She pulls back and kisses my lips gently. I hear a throat clear and I look back at a smiling Michael. Amelia stands next to me with a blush on her cheeks. He

comes over and wraps me in a bro-hug. “Congratulations on finding our Luna.” Once he releases me, he goes to stand in front of Amelia and bares his neck. She wraps him in a hug and he looks toward me before he returns it. “Thank you for accepting me Michael”, Amelia says. Michael is like my brother and I’m proud to call him my Beta. “Michael, can you go get John and Lily so we can let them know what’s happening.”

Amelia POV

“Let me go and get them” I say to Lincoln. He nods and I head from the office to the room Lily has been staying in. I knock and the door swings open. She pulls me in to a hug. “How did it go?” I lead her inside for a minute. “I came to get you and John so we can talk about the meeting with the Elders.” I can see the moment she realizes I mean Neal. “Amelia I’m scared, what if your wrong and he rejects me.” “I left everything in my life because I wanted my true mate and I don’t think I’ll survive if it was for nothing.” A single tear runs down her cheek. “I promise you that no matter what happens you will survive.” “You are one of the strongest people I know.” “If Neal is to stupid to realize what a gift you are no matter your super natural kind then he doesn’t deserve you.” “Just so you know though I don’t think Neal is stupid” I say with a smile. I wrap her in a hug. When she pulls back, I wipe the tears from her cheeks. “One more thing, when this is all settled with Atlas, we are dealing with your past and you will see your mother again.” She smiles “I really love you Amelia.” “I love you too.” “Where is John?” “I’ll call him to meet us in Lincoln’s office.” After she makes the call, we head to the office.

Lily POV NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

As we walk down the hallway, I can feel my heart beating out of my chest. Amelia opens the door and I follow her inside. Before I realize what’s happening, I’m lifted off the ground and wrapped in two strong arms. “Mate” I hear in my ear as he buries his head in my neck. “Beloved”, I whisper back. Amelia smiles and takes a seat next to Lincoln. John walks past us and takes a seat. “Neal, can you put me down so we can talk to the others.” I can feel him stiffen at my words. I don’t want him to feel like my words are a rejection. He pulls back looking into my eyes. He sets me down and I take his hand,

leading him over to a chair. I start to sit in the chair next to him but he pulls me onto his lap. I don’t fight him because I need him close as much as he needs me. “So, what did the Elders say,” I ask. “Elder James believes Amelia and Neal are telling the truth, but Elder Thomas is going to be a problem”, Lincoln says. “So, what happens now since they don’t agree?” “I didn’t realize but Elder James is the head of the Elders group so that worked in our favor.” “He will be making the decision and he will be leading the investigation.”

I watch Amelia lay her hand on her stomach. “Are you alright” I ask. I worry about the stress that this whole situation puts on Amelia. “Yes, he’s just moving around a lot.” I smile and lean in, laying my hand on her belly. I feel the pup move under my hand and smile. I lean back, “so basically we just wait for the Elders to handle this and hope that the do*chebag doesn’t try to get to Amelia.” Lincoln growls and Amelia lays her hand on his arm. “He will never touch her or get to her” Lincoln says. “I wish that really was how it’s going to happen, Lily, but I know Atlas and he isn’t going to listen to them if he could kill his own brother”, Amelia says. “I will be increasing the warrior presence throughout the pack and the border patrol” Lincoln says. “John and I will be placing some protection spells around the pack.” “Thank you, Lily.”

Lincoln POV

“Neal before you go and spend time with your new mate, I would like to perform the ritual to make you, Lily, and John pack members.” I can see the look of shock on John and Lily’s face. “Lincoln, I don’t think that is a good idea.” “I don’t think your pack is going to like you allowing a witch and a warlock to join your pack” John says. “First of all, Lily is going to be mated to a pack member.” “Secondly you two have proven your loyalty to this pack so if anyone doesn’t like my decision then they can find a new pack.” I take the dagger from my desk and the chalice off my shelf. I cut my hand, allowing my blood to drip into the chalice. “I, Alpha Lincoln Joseph Thomas, of the Nightfire pack, make you Neal Connor Martin a member of the Nightfire Pack.” I hand him the chalice and he drinks. As soon as he finishes drinking, I feel my connection to him. “I, Neal Connor Martin, swear my allegiance to the Nightfire Pack

and Alpha Lincoln Thomas.” He hands me back the chalice and I turn to John. I repeat the same with John. “I, John Liam Bloom, swear my allegiance to the Nightfire Pack and Alpha Lincoln Thomas.” I repeat myself and Lily takes the chalice. Once she drinks, I feel a connection like I’ve never felt with a pack member. I knew she was powerful but this is amazing. “I, Lily Teresa Bloom, swear my allegiance to the Nightfire Pack, Alpha Lincoln, and Luna Amelia Thomas.” Her words bring a smile to my face and my mates. She really is an amazing person and I love that she has this bond with Amelia. I know she will protect her no matter what happens.

“Michael, can you show Lily and Neal to one of the cottages?” “Please give John a cottage nearby them.” “Yes, Lincoln” he says and leads them out of my office. I turn to Amelia “I know you said that you saw the Darkmoon pack doctor a lot but I would like you to be checked by Dr. Neilson at our pack hospital.” She smiles “of course, you’ll get to see him.” I take her hand and lead her to the pack hospital. I link Dr. Neilson and she meets us in the waiting area. “Alpha, what’s going on, you said it was urgent.” Amelia gives me a look. “Everything is fine Dr. Neilson.” I take Amelia’s hand and she looks at me with confusion. “Dr. Neilson this is my mate and the future Luna, Amelia.” She smiles and bares her neck. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Luna.” I lay my hand on her stomach. “I would like you to check on our pup.” Dr. Neilson doesn’t miss a beat. “With pleasure Alpha, let’s go check on the pack’s heir.”

She leads us to an exam room and Amelia lays on the table. A few minutes later, the doctor returns with an ultrasound machine. “How far along are you, Luna?” “I’m about three months along and I’m having a boy.” “Dr. Neilson, you can ask” Amelia says. She turns to Amelia, “you owe me no explanation Luna.” “I trust Alpha Lincoln and you are his mate.” I smile and she begins to wave the wand over Amelia’s stomach. The screen lights up and my pup is beautiful. “That is our pup, Lincoln.” “Yes, it is Talon, I feel it too.” Amelia takes my hand. “He’s beautiful love.” I lean down and kiss her forehead. “He is perfect Alpha and Luna.” “I would like for you to come see me every couple of weeks

so we can make sure everything stays perfect.” “We will be here Dr. Neilson.” I will not miss one visit. “Dr. Neilson, I have a question”, Amelia says. “Of course, Luna.”

Amelia POV

“Lincoln is my second chance mate, but my bond isn’t completely broken yet because I ran without breaking it.” She listens and I see no judgement on her face. “I would like to mark with Lincoln but will that be dangerous to the pup since I’m still technically mated to someone else.” She smiles “due to the fact that Alpha Lincoln is your true mate there is no risk to the pup.” “Thank you, Dr. Neilson for everything.” “Of course, Luna, I’ll give you a moment to clean up and I’ll be back with vitamins.” When she leaves, I look up at a smiling Lincoln.
