Betrayed by My Beta Mate Chapter 45
45 The Ring
Amelia POV
Eli’s cries wake me. I turn over and sit up in bed. Lincoln is already sliding out of bed to grab him. “It’s ok love, I have him.” I
position myself in bed and Lincoln sets him in my arms. I start to feed him and Lincoln sits back down. “Are you hungry Amelia?”
“Yes actually I’m starving.” He smiles “I’m going to go grab us breakfast while Eli enjoys his.” I chuckle and he kisses my
forehead before he heads out the door. “I guess you were hungry little one” I say as he drinks fast. When he finishes, I put him
over my shoulder to burp him. A knock sounds on the door and despite everything that has happened, I still freeze. When the
door opens, a smiling Lily comes walking in with the cutest one-piece suit for Eli. “How is my nephew this morning?” “Your
nephew is great.” “The question is will he have a playmate after last night”, I say wiggling my eyebrows. She looks at me
confused. “Don’t play dumb, I know that is the only reason you would block me.” Now the look of confusion is one of concern.
“What happened last night that you tried to link me,” she asks panicked. “Everything is fine, we are fine.” “Amelia tell me what
happened please?”
“Atlas came for me and Eli with Thomas.” She looks horrified. She stands and starts to pace back and forth. “Lily, we are both
safe.” “I wasn’t there when you needed me.” “Don’t do that, you had no idea what was happening and we are safe.” “What if he
had gotten you both?” “What if he had” I stop her. “Don’t even let your mind go there.” “Sit down Lily.” She finally listens and sits
down. I hand her Eli and make her look in my eyes. “If you knew we were in danger, would you have been there to help us?” She
looks affronted by my question. “Of course, I would have.” “You two are my family and I would protect you with my life.” “Exactly,
so don’t you dare feel guilty that you were spending intimate time with your mate.” I tell her everything that happened including
the rogue attack. “I’m glad that Pheobe was here and that Lincoln took care of him finally.” “Amelia, the rogue attack that was a
diversion you don’t think that Maureen and Judith are a part of them?” I hadn’t really thought about it till Lily just brought it up but
I don’t think they had anything to do with the attack. “Even if they were a part of the collective, I don’t believe that they knew they
would be attacking us.” “Good because I like Penny and I would hate it if her mother betrayed the pack.” “Did any of the rogues
survive?” “Lincoln told me that three rogues were taken to the cells for questioning.” “Good I’ll make some truth serum so we can
find out exactly what we’re dealing with.”
I tell her about Silas and how he left Atlas when he realized that I was happy and had moved on. “I have a weird question but
something about yesterday is still bothering me.” She waits for me to ask. “After what Silas did, do you think that the goddess will
give him a second chance with a better human.” “I don’t know Amelia but I hope so.” “Based on what he did I would say he
deserves one.” “It’s sad that he was given to such a ba**ard.” “I hope she does.” The door opens and Lincoln walks back in with.

a huge tray of food. I laugh “I said I was hungry but I can’t eat that much.” “I know but you need to eat to feed our pup, so I
brought you some of everything.” Lily hands me Eli and hugs me before she walks toward the door. She stops in front of Lincoln.
“I’m sorry I wasn’t there last night when you needed me.” “No way, I’m sure Amelia has already told you that you have nothing to
be sorry for.” She laughs “you’re starting to sound like each other.” She hugs him and heads out the door. He takes Eli and lays
him in the bassinet. He pulls the bassinet over to the table and I smile. He pulls out my chair and once I sit, we eat in comfortable

silence.
Lincoln POV
“Amelia, I spoke with mom and told her to postpone the ceremony for a few days so you can rest.” “No, don’t do that.” “Love
there is no rush, especially with that ba**ard being dealt with.” “You are already my Luna and this is purely a formality.” “I know
that but with the coven still out there I want Pheobe connected to the pack if we get attacked.” “I told her we would do our
ceremony together.” I smile at this woman who is perfect in every way. She worries about others to a fault. “Ok I will let her know
to set it up for this evening.” “It doesn’t need to be anything fancy Lincoln.” “Just a party and a pack run.” “Finally, I get to meet
Star in the fur.” “Believe me she is waiting patiently to meet both her mates.” “Did you hear that Lincoln, she can’t wait to meet
me.” I laugh “I heard that, I hope she isn’t disappointed.” “You’re so funny, you just remember who the Alpha wolf is.” “I’m only
kidding Talon.” He growls and recedes in my mind. I link my mother and she screams with excitement. “I will have everything
ready.” “Thank you, mom.” “You’re welcome, how is my grandpup?” “He is perfect mom.” “Yes, he is.” “Let me know when your
back in the pack house and I will have a few dresses for Amelia to pick from.” She cuts the link and I look back to Amelia.
“You just made my mother very happy.” She smiles “I love your parents so I’m glad I made her happy.” We finish breakfast and
the doctor comes to check on Amelia and Eli. “OK Luna, everything looks good so I am glad to discharge you both, but if you
need me, you link me immediately.” “She will” I answer before she can and she rolls her eyes at me. The doctor leaves and we
dress Eli in the suit that Lily brought before I carry him to the pack house. Pack members congratulate us and we make it to our
floor about twenty minutes later. I walk to the door across from ours because I have a surprise for Amelia. I just pray she likes it.
“Lincoln, what are we doing?” I open the door and she gasps. We walk in and the room is a light blue with wolves everywhere.
“Oh, my goddess Lincoln, it’s beautiful.” “When did you do this?” I smile “I’ve had some of the pack members working on it.” “So,
you like it.” “I love it so much but I’m not ready for him to be in here without us.” I smile again and reach out my hand out leading
her to our room. Once we get inside, she gasps again.
I had them set up a bassinet and a rocking chair in our room so he could be close to us. I don’t want him far from us either. I lay
him down in the bassinet and Amelia jumps into my arms. She starts to kiss all over my face. “I love you so much Lincoln.” “I love
you too, Amelia, and I’m glad you love it.” I kiss her one more time before I set her on her feet. “Mom wants to show you some
dresses if you’re up to it.” “Absolutely, we should call for Pheobe since she will need a dress too.” “I’ll link Michael, we need to

talk about Lucas anyway.” I link my mother and Michael to come to our floor with Pheobe. About ten minutes later, my mother
arrives with five dress bags. She lays them down and immediately picks up Eli. A few minutes later, Michael lets me know that
they are waiting outside my office. “Bring Pheobe to our room and you and I can meet in my office.” “On our way”, Michael says
and cuts the link.
Amelia POV
I can’t believe that Lincoln did all this. It’s beautiful and I couldn’t have done a better job myself. I hated saying anything about
keeping Eli in our room, but there is no way I could have him in another room yet. I should have known he would understand, but
the fact that he set up space in our room for Eli was amazing. He is going to be the most amazing father. When Lorraine arrives
with the dresses, she immediately picks up Eli. I love that he is going to have such a loving set of grandparents. I push the
thoughts of my own parents from my mind. A knock sounds on the door and Lincoln opens it. Pheobe looks petrified to be here
and I hate that she still feels out of place. Michael kisses her and Lincoln kisses me before they leave the room. “Ok ladies, I

have a few different styles and colors for you both to pick from.” She motions to the bags sitting on the bed with her head as she
holds tight to Eli.
I walk over picking up the first bag. It’s a beautiful sapphire dress that is form-fitting. I love it but I need more time before I can
where that kind of dress. I show it to Pheobe and she looks mortified. “I don’t think I can wear a dress like that.’ She absolutely
could but I don’t want her to be uncomfortable. “You absolutely can, but if you’re not comfortable we can move on to the next.” I
pick up the second dress and its a beautiful lilac color with beading on the bodice. It would be perfect as it flairs at the waist. “I’m
going to try this one unless you want it.” She shakes her head and I set it down on the bed. I pick up the third bag. I unzip it and
the most beautiful dark blue mermaid style dress is in the bag. I don’t even give Pheobe a chance to over think it. “Try this one
on please” I say. She takes it from my hands and heads into the bathroom. A few minutes later, she comes out and she is
stunning. I can tell she is nervous and out of her comfort zone. I walk over taking her hand and lead her to the mirror. “You are a
beautiful girl and you look stunning in this dress.” She stares at herself for a few seconds before she starts to smile and I’m
happy that she isn’t fighting me about what I just said. “Alright now its your turn” she says to me. I head into the bathroom and
slide into the ball gown. I can’t zip the back so I head out and Pheobe zips me up. When I turn around, they both gasp. “What” I
say as I walk toward the mirror. The dress looks like it was made for me. I love everything about it and honestly, you can’t even
tell I just had a pup, thank the goddess. “You look beautiful, Luna”, Pheobe says and I smile. I know she is only calling me that
because of the dress. “Thank you, Pheobe.” “You both do” Lorraine says.
Pheobe POV

I still can’t believe that the wolves are willing to accept me. When Michael leads me to the bedroom, I feel like a trespasser. The
Alpha floor for wolves is a private place. When Amelia starts to show me the dresses, I’m nervous about picking one. When she
shows me the blue dress, I love how it looks but I’m sure how it will look on me. I’ve never worn anything elegant and I’m not
exactly well-endowed. When I stepped in front of the mirror, I felt beautiful. I didn’t even feel like it was me staring back. Amelia’s
dress was perfect. She has been so kind to me, even knowing what my brother has done. I’m so happy that I was able to protect
her yesterday when she needed me. “What he has done is not your fault” the voice that helped me fight Lucas last time says in
my head. This time the voice sounds more familiar. Since that day in the hotel, I haven’t taken the ring off my finger for fear I
would need its help.
“Pheobe, please know that I have always loved you.” “Mother is that you” I say in my mind. “Yes, princess it is.” ‘It is time for you
to take on all the powers the goddess has given you.” “I don’t understand what you mean.” “Pheobe, are you alright” Amelia asks
me. “Yes, I am but I need to truly use the bathroom if that ok.” “Of course, you can” she says. I take my clothes, heading back
into the bathroom to take off the dress. Once I’m undressed, I turn the water on and reach back out to my mother. “Mother, I will
not help Lucas hurt these people.” “I have found my beloved and I will not betray him for you or Lucas.” There is silence for a
moment and I figure she didn’t get the answer she wanted so she is done with me. “I don’t want you to betray them princess.” “I
want you to help them.” Now I’m truly confused. She has always acted like the sun sets on Lucas, even when I told her about my
father. Is this all a trick to get information from me or manipulate me. “Pheobe. do you still have the ring I left for you?” How does
she know about the ring? “Could she really have left it for me? I look down at the amethyst on my finger and the color seems
deeper today. “Yes, mother I do.” “I want you to smash the stone.” “Why would I do that, the ring helped me?’ She laughs “no it
didn’t.” “The ring allowed you to use some of your real magic but until you smash you won’t have all your powers.” “I don’t
understand.” “I know don’t princess but I can’t explain everything now.” “You have to trust me and I know I’m asking a lot after
everything I’ve done but I promise you I’m telling you the truth.” “I will explain everything else later.” “I have to go.” “But mom” I
say but the connection is gone. I roll the ring around my finger. What if it’s all a lie and I destroy something that is helping my
powers?” “What if it’s the truth and I could have more power to defend my beloved and pack?” I don’t know what to do.
