Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 6

6 Time to Tell

Michael POV

Max and I arrive at the diner. I had to tell Max why we were coming but I didn’t give him all the details. We step out of the car and Max turns to me. “Why is Lincoln waiting to see what’s happening with this she-wolf?” “Even in the human city, Lincoln makes sure wolves know that no issues will be tolerated by our pack.” “He hasn’t even spoke with this woman yet.” “Now were here intervening with more wolves that don’t belong here.” “Last time I checked Lincoln is Alpha and he doesn’t answer to you Max.” “So be a good boy and follow orders.” “F**k you Mikey” he says and I growl at him. “I would be very careful Max, I may be your brother but that won’t stop me from kicking your a**.” “As I already said just follow orders.” “We are here to just have a conversation not kill them.” He flips me the bird before we head inside. As soon as I walk in, I can smell the wolves. They are definitely pack wolves, not rogues. I turn and see the two men sitting in the booth. I walk over and Max follows close behind me. “Good morning, gentlemen.” They look up, trying to act like they didn’t smell us coming in. “Can we help you with something”, the one on the right asks. “As a matter of fact, you can.” “Let’s go outside and talk in the fresh air.” They look at each other. “Don’t mistake this for a request.” I step back so they can get out of the booth. “We are in neutral territory and we haven’t caused any trouble.” “Let’s keep it that way and have a friendly conversation.” “Let’s take our conversation outside so we can speak privately.” They hesitate for a moment but then they make the right decision which I’m grateful for.

They move out of the booth and we follow them to the parking lot. We walk until we are out of the ear shot of the humans. “What are your names and what pack are you from?” I can see they don’t want to answer. “I suggest you answer if you want to stay out of that trouble you mentioned. “My name is Walker and this is Joseph” the one on the right says. “We are warriors from the Darkmoon pack.” “What is your business in the human city?” “This is neutral territory so your pack has no say about what wolves come in and out of it.” I move closer to the a**hole. “You would do well to answer my questions

or you will find out just what my Alpha is capable of.” “My Alpha and pack own half this city so it’s his business anytime super naturals decide to step foot into it.” “So, you can either tell us what your business is here or we can take you to the pack cells for a while to think about it.” I can see they are linking each other. “We have been searching all the human cities that surround our pack because our Luna has gone missing.” “Before you ask, we have no details besides she left the pack.” “Our Alpha gives us orders and we follow them.” “I’m sure you know what that’s like, Beta.”

“That may be but our Alpha will want answers.” “I would suggest you contact your Alpha and make him aware that Alpha Lincoln of the Nightfire Pack expects to have a discussion with him about the details of why you are here and why your wolves are near our pack border. The warrior nods at me. I hand him the number. “I would suggest that call happen very quickly or you will be seeing us again.” “You two can enjoy your breakfast but remember that if there is any trouble our next visit will not be so pleasant.” They walk back and head inside the diner. “Why the f**k didn’t you tell them about the woman?” “She could be their missing Luna” Max says. “Until we have all the details, we are not telling them sh*t.” “You don’t think it’s odd that they used the words left not taken.” “We don’t owe her any protection and keeping a Luna from her Alpha could cause a pack war.” “Alpha Lincoln knows what he is doing so you would do well to keep your opinions to yourself.” I can tell he wants to argue but he keeps his mouth shut this time. We head toward the woods and shift running toward the pack. I’m sure Lincoln is finished with his meeting by now and he will want to know what we found out.

Amelia POV

To say I’m in shock is an understatement. Lily is a witch. Here I am thinking I’m the only one keeping big secrets and she is a witch. I go over to the sink and rinse my mouth out with water. I splash water on my face before I sit down in a chair in the bathroom. Lily sits on the edge of the tub. We sit in silence for a few minutes before Lily finally breaks it. “Amelia, how are you feeling?” “I’ll be alright.” “Teleportation is something you have to get used to” Lily says. “I’ll take your word for it.” I stand up and head out to sit on the couch. Lily comes to sit next to me. “Amelia, I know I said I wouldn’t press youProperty © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

but I know those wolves were looking for you.” “Are you in trouble?” “Please let me help you.” Lily told me her secret and the least I can do is trust her with mine. Besides, I have a feeling I’m going to need the help if Atlas has sent pack members this far.

“You’re right they are looking for me.” I take a deep breath and start a story I prayed I wouldn’t have to tell again. “I was mated to the Beta of the Darkmoon pack.” I lay my hand on my stomach. “I thought we were happy but I was very wrong.” “I hadn’t felt well my whole pregnancy.” “I was having pain a lot but thankfully every time the doctor checked me the pup was good.” “Never did I think that the pain I was having was related to my mate scr*wing someone else.” She covers her mouth with her hand. “Oh, my goddess Amelia, I’m so sorry.” “How could he violate your bond like that?” I chuckle but it’s not because what I’m about to say is funny. “I wish that was the worst of it.” “The day I left I was in pain again so I decided to go to my mate’s office.” “That’s when I heard them.” “My mate was with someone but not just any random person.” “He was f**king the pack’s Luna who happens to be his brother’s mate.” The look of shock would be comical on her face if I didn’t know what put it there. After a few minutes of silence, she pulls me into a hug. “I’m so sorry Amelia.” “I can’t believe that any mate could be so cruel and deceitful.” I hug her back and, for the first time since I left my pack, I feel like I’m not alone.

She sits back “let me call John and tell him we are safe before we get everything you need.” “I’m not sure we should go shopping with the pack wolves in the city.” She smiles and puts the phone to her ear. “John, we are at my apartment and safe.” I can only hear one side of the conversation. She hangs up and I can’t help myself but ask “Lily is John like you?” She smiles “John and I escaped our coven together but that’s a story for another time.” “He is my cousin and best friend.” “Now let’s get started so we can get you moved in.” She walks over picking up a huge stack of magazines. “Do you have the keys to the apartment?” “I do, why?” She nods toward the door and I go down the hall opening the door to my empty apartment. Once we are inside, she picks up a furniture magazine. She flips to a page with couches. “Which one do you like?” I look at her confused and point to a leather looking sofa. She waves her hand around and the couch appears in front of us. I can’t believe what I’m seeing. “It’s good to be friends with a witch” Lily says with a smile. We move from room to room and Lily conjures up

everything I need. I never expected when I woke up this morning to have a friend, who is a witch and a furnished apartment.

When we reach the pup’s room, Lily conjures a rocking chair for me to sit in. By the time we are done, the room is blue and decorated with wild animals. She went a little overboard on the clothes but she couldn’t be stopped. She went on and on about each one being too cute not to have. I look around the room again. It’s the most beautiful room I have ever seen. I stand up from the rocking chair and wrap Lily in a hug. “Thank you for being kind to me before you even knew me.” “Thank you, for helping me make this apartment into a home.” “Thank you for being the kind of friend that everyone should have.” “Well, you can’t get rid of me now.” “I promise you that I won’t let anything happen to you or that pup growing in your belly.” She bends down speaking directly to my belly “right bean, I’m going to be your auntie.” It makes me smile. Lily’s phone rings and she stands up, taking it out of her pocket. “Right now, is that really necessary,” Lily says to whoever is on the other side of the call. “Fine, we will be there in an hour.” She hangs up and I have a feeling I’m not going to like what she is about to tell me. “What’s wrong” I ask. “The pack warriors dealt with the wolves from the diner but the Alpha wants to meet with you.” I feel like a rock just settled in my stomach. I have no desire to go to this pack or meet with any Alpha, but I know it wasn’t a request. I’m sure I can make him understand I’m no threat to his pack. “Fine, let’s get this over with.”

Lincoln POV

I’m in my office when Michael and Max return from the diner. “We spoke with the wolves, Alpha, and I think they understand how things are going to work when they are in the human city.” He is only calling me Alpha because Max is here. Michael is not just my Beta but my best friend. “Why are they here” I ask. “There Luna left the pack and they are looking for her”, Michael says. “I’m sure, it’s that new she- wolf that Lily met”, Max says. Michael shoots daggers at his brother before he continues. “As I said to Max, they used the words she left not she was taken.” “Something doesn’t make sense about a Luna leaving a pack.” Michael is right. A Luna, especially a pregnant one, is not going to leave her mate and

pack without good reason. “Alright, I think it’s time to meet this she-wolf.” I call John and tell him to have Lily bring the she-wolf to my pack. I hang up and Max has left. “Michael, I want two warriors to stay on top of these men until I hear from the Darkmoon Alpha.” “I will take care of it Lincoln, and I will let you know as soon as Lily arrives.” “Thank you” I say before Michael leaves. “I don’t like the feeling I’m getting about this Alpha or his pack Lincoln” Talon says. “Me either, Talon.”
