Amelia POV

The minute Lincoln says our pup is alright, I feel my body relax. I’m sore where Max kicked me in the back, but with our increased healing, the pain will be gone soon. I still can’t believe he would do such a thing to me. He seems so different compared to Michael. He was like this cold, unfeeling man who didn’t even think twice about hurting me or my pup. Lincoln brings me out of my thoughts with a kiss on my forehead. He leaves to go get the doctor and I lay my hand on my bump. “You’re safe little bean.” “I’m proud of you Amelia, you protected our pup like the bada** you are.” I chuckle “I think I had a little help from my awesome and bada** wolf.” She puffs out her chest in my mind and it makes me smile. The door opens and Lincoln returns, followed by Dr. Neilson. “Luna, it’s good to see you awake.” “Thank you, I’m just glad that we both are ok.” “I would like you to stay here overnight just so we can observe you for any changes”, Dr. Neilson says. “Is it really necessary for me to stay if our pup is good and I’m healing?” “You do have some bruising on your back and with the attack only happening a little while ago, I would feel better if you did.” “My wolf is already healing that and honestly I would rather sleep in our bed tonight” I say looking at Lincoln. Dr. Neilson looks torn. I’m sure he wants to tell me to stay despite my protests. “That’s fine Dr. Neilson, thank you”, Lincoln says before the doctor can say any more. He smiles at me and heads out of the room.

“Lincoln, I feel fine, I’m just a little sore.” He growls low “I promise you he will suffer for putting his hands on you, for harming you.” I take his hand “I’m sorry that you have to deal with Max’s actions toward me.” “I hate this is happening for you and Michael.” He sits down next to my bed. “Honestly love I don’t think Max acted alone.” I look at him confused until I recall Max saying about the pack already having a Luna. “What is it Amelia?” “When Max was trying to make me leave, he said something about the pack already having a Luna and it wasn’t a wh*re that was carrying another man’s pup.” I see Lincoln’s eyes flash to black before they return to his beautiful blue color. “I’m going to snap that b**ch’s

neck.” “I knew she had something to do with this.” “He never said it was her but I thought the same thing when he called me a wh*re.” He growls low and I pull him into a kiss. When I try to deepen it, he pulls back, laying his forehead against mine.

Lincoln POV

I take a few deep breaths, kissing her is doing nothing for me to keep myself under control. Talon wants us to make her ours even more after everything that just happened, but I need to think about all she just went through. “Talon, she was just attacked we have to be patient.” He whimpers and recedes to the back of my mind. “Lincoln, I want you to mark me and for me to mark you.” “I don’t want us to wait.” “Love I want nothing more but you were just attacked by that ba**ard.” “I saw the bruises and I know you are healing but we need to at least wait till tomorrow.” “Lincoln, I couldn’t link you and I wanted to be able to when I was alone with him.” I slide into the bed next to her and pull her to my side. She lays her head on my chest and besides the physical pain he caused her, he scared my mate. I run my fingers through her hair. “I promise you that I will not leave your side again until we have marked and mated.” She picks her head up and pecks my lips before she lays her head back down on my chest. I kiss the top of her head and I hear her breathing even out as she falls to sleep in my arms. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

I wake and I’m in the hospital bed alone. I start to panic until I hear the toilet flush in the bathroom. The door opens and my beautiful mate walks out. “Why didn’t you wake me, love?” “You were sleeping so peacefully and I promise I can pee all by myself.” I chuckle and I get up, coming to stand in front of her. “I know you can but I almost lost it when I woke up and you weren’t there.” “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you.” I kiss her forehead. I notice that the sun is starting to peak through the window. We must have slept all night. Having her in my arms for the first time while we slept, both Talon and I felt whole and content. “Guess what” her question brings me out of my thoughts. I smile and lean down pecking her lips. “What love” I ask. “It’s tomorrow”, Amelia says. She reaches up, pulling me down, pressing her lips to mine. I pull back knowing exactly what she means, “let me go get the doctor so we can get out of here.” I head out into the hallway and grab the doctor to clear Amelia to leave. Once he clears her, I

give her a dress that I had the omegas bring over. I threw everything she was wearing away because it was covered in his blood. She goes in to the bathroom and comes back out dressed in a light pink sundress. She is so beautiful and I can’t wait for us to have the bond between us.

“Amelia with everything that happened, I never asked why Max was bleeding.” She smiles “I wasn’t going to let him take me or hurt our pup.” “I partially shifted and dragged my claw across his neck.” “That is the only reason he didn’t manage to take me from the pack house.” “You really are amazing, both of you.” “Talon and I have truly been blessed with such a strong mate and Luna.” I take Amelia’s hand and we head up the path toward the pack house. Once we are inside, I want to grab some breakfast before we head up to our room. I plan on spending the day making her mine. We will both need the fuel. “Let’s get some food and we can take it up to our room.” She nods and we walk into the dining room. My eyes land on Jennifer sitting at a table near mine. I immediately look back at the buffet that has been set up by the omegas. I can’t even look at her without wanting to kill her a** right now. I grab a tray and load it with some of everything.

We start toward the door and my parents come rushing in. As soon as they see Amelia, my mother pulls her into her arms. “Amelia, are you and our grand pup alright” my mother asks. “Yes Lorraine, we are both good.” Once she let’s go of Amelia, my father hugs her. “You had us worried, thank the goddess you both are alright” my father says. I really have the best parents. I see my mother’s eyes flash to someone behind us and I pray she isn’t this stupid. “Amelia, I’m glad to see you’re alright”, Jennifer says. “The whole pack heard what Max did to you.” We both turn and Jennifer is standing there with a look of concern on her face. Before I can say anything, Amelia steps forward until she and Jennifer are practically touching.

Amelia POV

This b**ch is out of her mind. I step in front of her, but I need to remember the pack doesn’t realize that I’m there Luna yet. Besides that, we don’t have proof of her involvement in what Max did. “Thank you for your concern, both myself and my pup are perfect.” “You can rest assured that anyone who tries to

hurt me or my pup will be dealt with.” I turn heading back to stand next to Lincoln. I take Lincoln’s hand and I watch her eyes drop to our joined hands. “I would like all pack members in the pack yard before dinner, with no exception”, Lincoln says to everyone in the dining room. We say goodbye to his parents and head upstairs. Once we are in the room, he sets the food down on the table in the corner. He pulls out my chair and we sit eating our breakfast. “I’m sure you realize I will be announcing you tonight.” “How do you think your pack is going to take the news that I’m your mate and that I’m already pregnant?” “Honestly Amelia, that is none of their business.” “I accept our pup and that is all that matters.” “Any pack member that has a problem can look for a new pack.” “I love you Lincoln and I’m ready to be yours.” “I love you Amelia and I will spend the rest of my life showing you how much.”

Atlas POV

“Alpha, there is a group of Elders here to see you”, a patrol guard links me. What the hell are they doing here? Thomas is supposed to be fixing this bulls*t with Elder James. “Fine, bring them to my office.” I link Walker, as he is my Beta now, to come to my office immediately. He enters my office minutes before three Elders walk in with the patrol guard. I dismiss the guard and I offer them a seat. “Elders, to what do I owe this visit?” “We are here on formal business, Alpha Atlas.” “What business is that?” “There have been accusations made against you by your former mate and Beta.” I growl “she is not my former mate.” “She is my mate and Luna.” “I’m sorry but Amelia has made it perfectly clear she will be breaking her bond with you and accepting Alpha Lincoln after what you have done to her.” “You plan to allow another Alpha to steal my mate and Luna.” “She is carrying my pup in her belly.” “The Elders will not get involved in your mate’s choice after you violated your bond with her with Freya Canfield.”

“If you have made your decision that my mate can reject our bond, then what may I ask are you here to investigate?” “You have been accused of killing Alpha Elias.” “That is absurd, I would never hurt my brother.” “Freya killed Elias because she wanted me, which is exactly why my mate is not here.” “I made a stupid decision and you are allowing that mistake to taint your view of me.” “Alpha Atlas, your

actions with Freya have nothing to do with how this investigation will proceed.” “If you have done nothing wrong then you have no reason to worry about the outcome of our investigation” Elder James says.

Unknown POV

“What now they have taken Max to the cells and by the sounds of it, he is going to kill him.” “He had one job, to get her out of the pack territory.” “He couldn’t handle a f**king pregnant she-wolf for goddess’s sake.” “If he kills him, it will be his own fault.” “He was following your orders and now you’re going to just let this happen to him.” “If Lincoln finds out, that I’m involved what do you think will happen to me?” “I have far more to lose than you do.” “You better just keep your mouth shut.” “Fine but you better think of something fast because soon he will be bonded to that b**ch.” The phone disconnects and I can’t believe he is going to let Max die. I can’t believe I trusted him.
