Betrayed by My Beta Mate

Chapter 18

18 Accept Me

Atlas POV

I can’t believe this is happening right now. This has to be a bad dream. “I will not lose my mate to that pathetic Alpha.” “She is mine and she is carrying my pup.” “I wish you would have been honest with me Atlas” Elder Thomas says. “I could have at least spoken to Elder James before they told him what you did.” “I’m not exactly proud of the fact that I gave into Freya’s seduction.” “It doesn’t change that I love Amelia and she is mine.” “The goddess gave her to me not some a**hole Alpha.” “Atlas I will do everything in my power to help get her back to you but Elder James has the final say in this.” “I don’t care if I have to wage war against the Elders and the Nightfire pack, I will have Amelia back by my side.” “Don’t do anything rash, I will be in touch.” He hangs up and I start to destroy my office. I will rip that f**king wolf apart if he touches my mate. I link Anthony to come to my office. A few minutes later he walks in. “Yes Alpha” he says looking around my office. “Is everything alright?”. “We have been betrayed by the pack Beta.” “Neal” he says like a question. “Ye,s that ba**ard is helping the Nightfire Alpha to keep my Luna from me and our pack.” He growls “I knew something was wrong that day in the hotel.” “What does that mean” I say coming around to stand in front of him.

I can feel the fear rolling off him. He stays quiet despite my question. “When I ask you a question you f**king answer me.” “The day we went to the hotel I tried to pull the Luna out of there and Neal stopped me.” I grab him by the throat “you put your hands on my mate and this pack’s Luna.” He claws at my hands as I start to squeeze.” Silas is at the surface “he touched Amelia” he growls and before I can stop him, he snaps Anthony’s neck. I drop him to the floor. “Goddess Silas what the hell we could have just punished him.” “That is the punishment for touching our mate.” “This is your fault for driving our mate away.” “I will kill any man that touches her pack member or not” Silas says. I link Walker to come to my office. He is the second highest warrior in the pack now. I see the look of shock on his face when he sees Anthony’s body on the floor. “Alpha what happened?” “First of all, you don’t question me andCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

secondly he touched my mate.” “Neal should have killed him when he touched her but he was a pathetic excuse for a Beta.” “Was sir” he asks. “Neal has betrayed his Alpha and this pack.” He whips his eyes up to mine and immediately drops them. “He has aligned himself with Alpha Lincoln of the Nightfire pack and they have my Luna.” “Take this trash out of my office and dispose of him.” “Gather the men and meet me in the war room we have plans to make.” “Yes Alpha” he says lifting Anthony over his shoulder and leaves my office.

“You are very lucky I want my mate more than I want to punish your pathetic a**.” “That is the only reason I haven’t left you without a wolf.” “Silas right now we need to be on the same page about getting Amelia and our pup back before he mates her.” “Whatever anger you have toward me you need to direct at that ba**ard.” “She wouldn’t dare let another man touch her.” “We are still bonded.” “You heard what Elder Thomas said they think they are second chance mates.” “Amelia is gullible enough to give into that bullsh*it.” “Look how she didn’t realize what the pain was she was having because she believed in me.” “Don’t remind me of your stupidity.” “I will rip that f**king wolf apart if he touches what belongs to us.” I link the omegas to come clean my office and I head to the war room.

Lily POV

Michael is walking ahead of us. Neal hasn’t let go of my hand and I’m still nervous. We reach the cottage and I hug John before we head inside. The cottage is beautiful and I still can’t believe that Lincoln made us pack members. I felt connected to the pack before but to be a member is something totally different. Neal places his hand on the small of my back bringing me out of my thoughts. He leads me into the living room and we sit down on the couch. We both start to talk but I need to get this out. “Go ahead Lily” he says. “I know you probably expected to be mated to a wolf so I understand this is probably a shock that I’m your beloved, I mean mate.” “I will not beg you to accept me as I know my worth.” “I lost my family because I refused to accept someone who wasn’t made for me.” He growls and I continue “I believe the goddess makes no mistakes so I am hoping that you believe the same but if

not, I will accept your rejection.” He laughs and I look at him with confusion. “Is it my turn now” Neals says.

Neal POV

I know she is nervous and once we are inside the cottage, she seems deep in thought. I want to carry her upstairs and make her mine but I know we need to talk first. Jasper is growling in my mind so I push him down. The minute she starts to talk I know she means what she says about her worth but she is also acting tough because she is afraid. She has been hurt and she is worried that I won’t accept her because she isn’t a wolf. “Lily, the moment I felt the tingles when you touched my arm the only thought I had in my mind was making you mine.” “You are perfect and more than I will ever deserve.” “Your wolf” she starts to say and Jasper pushes forward. “This wolf is ready to make you mine, only you” Jasper steps back and she has tears in her eyes. I scoop her up carrying her bridal style up the stairs.

I set her down on the bed and kneel in front of her. “I, Neal Connor Martin, accept you, Lily Teresa Bloom as my mate.” I reach up and wipe the tears from her cheeks. “I, Lily Teresa Bloom, accept you, Neal Connor Martin as my mate and beloved.” I immediately feel the bond start to form. “Are you sure you’re ready for the mating Lily?” She lowers her mouth pressing her lips to mine. The tingles are amazing and I can feel my member growing in my pants. I stand taking her with me and never breaking the kiss. I rub my hands down her body and deepen the kiss even more. When we finally pull apart, we are both breathless. She takes me by surprise reaching for my shirt and pulling it over my head. Her eyes rake down my chest and I feel my body heat under her intense gaze. She runs her hands down my chest and stops at my pants before she looks into my eyes. I love that she is taking control which I never expected.

Lily POV

Once he is bared to me, I drop to my knees in front of him. “Lily” my name dies on his lips as I take him in my mouth. He moans and I start to move my mouth up and down his shaft. He threads his hands in

my hair and I feel he is losing control. I feel so powerful in this moment that he’s about to lose control. He thrusts forward and I feel his salty c*m down my throat. I stand and his eyes are full of lust and love. He lifts me off my feet throwing me on the bed. He pulls my pants and shirt off like he’s desperate to see my body. Once I’m bared to him, he rakes his eyes up and down me. “You are f**king beautiful and mine.” His words make my core drip. He hovers over me so we are looking into each other’s eyes as he slides his hand down until he it touching my core. He begins to circle my cl*t and I’m on the edge. He slams his mouth down on mine as he rubs harder and it pushes me over the edge. I scream out his name.

He pushes his member forward and I start to feel full with the stretch. “Oh, my goddess Neal” I say. He smiles when he feels my barrier. “Lily this may hurt but I promise it won’t last.” I nod and take a deep breath before he pushes forward. It definitely burns but he was right it doesn’t last. He starts to move and my orgasm is building again. He buries his head in my neck and I feel the minute his canines pierce my skin. The orgasm sweeps over my body and I scream. I look up and see that Neal is right behind me. I reach up placing my hand on his marking spot and push my magic into his skin marking him as mine. His eyes turn black for a second before they turn back to their beautiful chocolate color. He empties himself inside me and I have never felt so complete. This man is mine and I’m so glad I waited for him. He rests his forehead against mine. “I love you, Lily.” “I love you, Neal, thank you for being the best man I’ve ever met.” “Not just because you accepted me despite our differences but because you chose to do the right thing for Amelia.” He kisses me before he rolls off pulling me to him. He kisses the back of my head and I start to drift into a peaceful sleep knowing I have my other half.

As I dream I hear a voice I haven’t heard since John and I left the coven. “Lily, can you hear me” my Aunt Jiselle whispers. “Yes, I can.” “Lily, you need to come home your mother needs you.” Before I can even ask what’s happening her presence is gone. Jiselle is John’s mother but what could she mean my mother needs me. Could it just be my guilt for leaving or was it truly my aunt reaching out to me. Why would she reach out now we have been gone for months. I open my eyes and Neal is staring at me.

“Lily what was that?” I forgot that if I don’t have a block up, he can hear my thoughts. “I thought it might be a dream but I guess it wasn’t.”

Amelia POV

We head back to the pack house and Lincoln hasn’t stopped smiling. He leads me upstairs to the room we will share and once we are inside, he kisses me. He pulls back smiling at me “Amelia, I know you asked the doctor if it was alright for us to mark and I couldn’t be happier to make you mine but please don’t rush yourself after all you have been through.” “I am not going anywhere and you are mine for the rest of our lives.” I smile because he is nothing like that ba**ard. I try not to think about him but being away from him and that place I realize that he wasn’t the prince charming I had made him in my mind even before I got pregnant. I wanted to believe that he was perfect because the goddess chose him but I know now that the goddess doesn’t control what a wolf does with the gift she gives. I blame no one but Atlas for this. He places his hand on my face and brings me out of my thoughts.

I step closer “I want to be yours and I don’t feel rushed or have any doubt in my mind.” He slams his lips down on mine. Star is growling in mind that we are going to finally be bonded to Lincoln. The tingles that have been getting stronger feel amazing. Lincoln stiffens before he pulls back growling. He looks back to me and his smile returns. “I’m being summoned for rogues at the northern border but I promise you I won’t be gone long.” I chuckle “take your time I will be here waiting.” He kisses me one more time before he rushes from our room. Honestly, I wouldn’t want to be those rogues after what they just interrupted.”Your right about that Amelia I would help him if I could” Star says. “Lincoln will probably rip them apart for it.” “Good they stopped us from having our mate they deserve it. I chuckle at her acting like a h*rny wolf. “Don’t laugh you know you want him just as much. She’s right she laughs this time before she recedes in my mind. I decide to jump in the shower to freshen up before he returns. I’m just finishing up and slipping a nightgown on when the door to the bathroom opens. I look up expecting to see a smiling Lincoln but it definitely is not. “What are you doing here, where is Lincoln?”
