Chapter 13


    13 Talk


    As POV


    I haven’t heard from Neal or the Elders. I can’t believe that she has managed to hide herself from my


    men this long. I need her back and by my side. If anything happens to her or my pup, I will lose my


    mind. “What do you think she is going to be like when you finally find her As?” “Do you really think


    she will be happy to see you” Ss says. “Despite everything that has happened Ss she is our mate


    and I can make her believe me.” “I have always been good to Amelia.” “If only you could have kept your


    d**k out of your sister-inw you would have been the perfect mate.” “Enough Ss, I don’t want to


    hear any more about Freya or what I did.” “Well until I have my mates you will hear about it every day


    human.” “You will have a lot of begging to do if we finally get her back where she belongs” Ss says. “I


    know what I have to do so you need to calm down.” “Calm down, I told you not to f**k that b**ch how


    many times but you just had to hurt Elias.” “You better pray she believes you andes home.” I block


    Ss because I can’t listen to him anymore right now.


    The phone rings on my desk and I pick it up on the second ring. “Alpha As, it’s Elder Thomas.” “Elder


    Thomas, I’m d to hear from you.” “We’re you able to speak with Alpha Lincoln?” “That’s actually


    what I’m calling about.” “I wanted to let you know that Elder James and I will be meeting with Alpha


    Lincoln tomorrow.” “I really appreciate all your help with this matter Elder Thomas.” “I just want Amelia


    and my pup home safe.” “I understand As and I’m hoping our meeting tomorrow will make sure


    Alpha Lincoln is on board with helping make that happen if Amelia is found in his city.”


    Neal POV


    I walk into the hotel hoping that Amelia will speak to me since I’m alone today. After everything that


    happened with the warrior the other day, I want her to befortable and not afraid. She knows me


    even if it’s not well, and I need her to understand I mean her no harm. She is my Luna and I wouldy


    my life down to protect her. I walk past the desk toward the restaurant she was working in. “Excuse


    me”, I hear a male voice from behind me. I turn to see the man that was here with her the other day.


    He’s human, so I’m sure he isn’t going to be too big of a problem. When he gets close enough to me he


    whispers so only I can hear him. “I believe Amelia was clear that she didn’t want to see any of you, so I


    suggest you leave her alone.” “Sir, I understand you are trying to protect Amelia but I assure you I am


    no threat to her.” “I just want to speak with her.” He steps closer “I know what you are.” His words take


    me off bnce until I notice a scent that wasn’t there when I walked in. Our eyes meet “you’re not


    human, you’re a warlock.” “I am and Amelia is under our protection.”


    What the hell is happening right now? How does a warlock be involved in wolf business? “I’m


    sure you don’t want a war amongst our kinds and that is exactly what will happen if you keep Luna


    Amelia away from my Alpha.” “Maybe you should be wondering why Amelia, who is pregnant with your


    so-called Alpha’s pup would run from your pack and him?” “I understand what she thinks happened but


    I need her to listen to the truth.” Heughs “maybe you should find out the truth before you try to tell her


    what it is.” I growl low “you know nothing about what truly happened in our pack warlock.” “I really don’t


    care what your Alpha says happened I know who I believe.” “I will speak to Amelia and if she wants to


    meet with you I will let you know.” “Make no mistake if she doesn’t want to speak to you, it will not be


    happening.” I don’t have a choice in this moment, I just have to hope that Amelia will agree. I give him


    my number and I say a prayer to the goddess she will at least hear me out. I head out of the hotel. As I


    walk toward the woods, the warlock’s words y over in my mind about knowing the truth. Everything


    that happened the day Elias died still haunts me. “Neal, we will find the truth no matter what it takes”,


    Jasper says. I strip cing my clothes and phone in my bag. We shift and Jasper takes the bag in his


    mouth before he takes off toward the cottage.


    Lincoln POV

    After we finish speaking to my parents, I want to talk to Amelia about the meeting tomorrow. I’m sure


    she is nervous and I want to reassure her that I will never let her go back to him, regardless of the


    Elder’s decision. She is mine. My cell phone rings in my pocket but I ignore it. It keeps ringing and I pull


    it out, seeing John’s name on the screen. I silence it. I can call him back when we are done speaking.


    She smiles, “Lincoln, answer your phone I’m not going anywhere.” I put the phone to my ear “what’s


    going on John?” “The ranked wolf from the other day came by the hotel looking for Amelia twenty


    minutes ago.” I growl and Amelia looks at me with concern on her face. “What the hell did he want?”


    “He wants to speak with her.” “That is never happening.” Talon is growling in my mind. “Lincoln, I want


    to protect Amelia too.” “This wolf might be able to help her if she makes him understand the truth.” “He


    seemed genuine and I believe that he has been misled by the Alpha.” I know he’s right but that doesn’t


    mean I want this wolf anywhere near my mate. “I will speak with Amelia and call you back” I say before


    I hang up.


    Amelia takes my hand “what’s wrong?” “One of the wolves that came to see you in the hotel showed up


    again today.” I can see the concern on her face. “Neal” she says, and I hate that I have to even


    entertain her speaking with him. “He wants to speak with you.” I can see the turmoil on her face. “What


    did John say that made you change your mind about me speaking to him?” I smile that she is so smart


    and strong. “He thinks that if you can make Neal understand that you know what As did first hand, he


    could help us prove that he betrayed you.” “What do you think?” “I think no matter what happens I’m


    never letting you go back to him.” “You are mine, my mate.” She smiles “do you think I should speak to


    him?” “What do you know of Neal?” “I met him a few times and we spoke briefly but Elias spoke highly


    of him.” “He always said that if As wasn’t his brother and Beta, that he would have chosen Neal.” “I


    think if you want to speak with him, I will support that.” “I will have John bring him to the pack and he


    will speak with us here.” “Thank you, Lincoln for supporting and protecting us” she says cing her


    hand on her bump. I take the phone back out of my pocket and call John. “Call the wolf and bring him


    to the pack to speak with us.” “Yes Lincoln”, he says and I put the phone back in my pocket.”


    Amelia POV


    “Amelia, are you sure we should meet with him?” “If he doesn’t believe us, he will tell As we are in


    the Nightfire pack” Star says. She’s right he knows I’m in the city but he has not idea that I’m actually in


    the pack. “Lincoln, are you sure you should bring him here?” “If I can’t make Neal believe I’m telling the


    truth he will tell As where I am.” “Your pack will be at risk and I” he stops me with a kiss. When he


    pulls back, he smiles at me. “This is our pack and I don’t care if he knows you are here.” “The Elders


    will know tomorrow and this pack will defend its Luna.” I lean in and kiss him like it’s the most natural


    thing. He deepens the kiss and the tingles are even stronger than before. I still can’t believe the


    goddess has blessed me with a second chance. He pulls back when we are both breathless. He ces


    his forehead against mine. “Thank you for being honest when I asked you about your feelings for me.”


    “You can thank Star, she threatened to keep me awake with her awful singing if I didn’t tell the truth.”


    He bursts intoughter and Star growls in my head. “Seriously I’m d I was brave because I want to


    spend to the rest of my life loving you raising and raising our pups.”


    An hourter, we are sitting in Lincoln’s office when he gets a link from Michael that Neal has arrived


    with John. I knew I would be nervous but my stomach is in knots. A few minutester a knock sounds


    on the door and Michael walks in followed by Neal. His eyesnd on me sitting next to Lincoln. He


    takes my hand in his. “You can have a seat, Neal”, Lincoln says. I can feel his alpha aura and Neal


    does as he says. He is focused on my hand in Lincoln’s. “Neal, you came to talk to me, so please do” I


    say. “Luna, Alpha As is looking for you and wants me to bring you home.” “I am no Luna to the


    Darkmoon Pack and it will never be my home again, Neal.” “I’m sorry for the loss of your Alpha.” “Elias


    was a good man and he meant a lot to me.” “As is no longer my mate and therefore I am not your


    Luna.” “Amelia, I realize that Freya told you things that paint Alpha As in a bad light.” I can’t help


    myself Iugh. “Is that what he told you that Freya lied to me.” “He is the f**king liar.” Neal looks at me


    with shock. “Freya never spoke to me about what she was doing with my mate.” “I heard them in the


    office and felt it everyday of my pregnancy.” “So don’t you daree here and tell me about what a


    wonderful mate As was.” I take some deep breaths. Lincoln rubs circles on my hand calming my


    rage. “Are you alright love?” “I will be” I answer before I turn back to look Neal in the eyes. “I am the


    future Luna of the Nightfire Pack.”
