Chapter 27
27 Own I
Amelia POV
When he tells me to go back to Lincoln, I see the man I always knew he was. I hated that Lincoln and
Lorraine felt betrayed by him. I start back for the pack. “Amelia, please don’t go back and leave us here
with him”, my mother manages to get out before Charles growls. I walk back until I’m standing in front
of her. “Despite all that I told you, you two chose As.” “Just as you made your choice, I’m making
mine.” “You are no longer my parents and whatever your fate is now, you both deserve it.” I take off
running back toward the pack. When I reach the pack house, I use the door that b**ch Jennifer led us
out. I look around the corner hoping that I can get back upstairs unnoticed. Once I don’t see any sign of
her I head toward the stairs. I look down the hall and I notice her slip into Lincoln’s office. I’m going to
rip her head from her body. I start down the hall until Star’s words stop me. “Amelia, be smart about
this.” “You can’t shift and we need to protect our pup”, Star says. I know she is right but I don’t want her
anywhere near my mate.
I head back downstairs to find Michael. When I reach the dining room, I start to look around, hoping to
find Michael. I can’t just ask the pack members. I notice Lorraine sitting at the Alpha table. When she
notices me, she rushes over to me. “Amelia, what’s wrong?” “There’s too much to exin but Lincoln
needs help.” “Where’s Michael, Lorraine?” “Amelia where is Lincoln?” “He’s in the office with Jennifer.” I
see her eyes sh to ck before she takes my hand leading me upstairs and toward Lincoln’s office.
Lincoln POV
I feel like my mind is swimming. I can’t connect with Talon. I can’t believe that b**ch stabbed me. I can
hear voices talking around me but I can’t form words. Amelia’s scent is still all around me and I’m trying
to push through this fog. Goddess, I will kill the two of them if they do anything to Amelia. How could
they choose that ba**ard over their own flesh and blood? My father pops into my mind, but honestly,
right now I need to focus on my mate and making sure she is safe. All the voices are gone and I reach
out to Talon again. “Lincoln what the hell did they give us.” “I don’t know, but when I catch them they
are going to wish they hadn’t done all this.” “They don’t deserve Amelia or our pup.”

I don’t know how long passes and I feel the fog is starting to lift. I’m not in control yet but I can feel it
returning. The door opens and the scent I pick up isn’t Amelia. “Oh, my goddess, Lincoln” I hear
Jennifer’s voice. She picks up my head cing it in herp and I manage to pull away. “Lincoln, I’m not
trying to mate you.” “You’re sick, I’m trying to help you.” “Amelia” I manage to get out. “I have no idea
where she is.” “I’ll call the pack doctor.” “I won’t leave you like she did.” I manage to growl and she
looks at me before she picks up the phone. Once she calls the doctor, shees back over kneeling
next to me. She takes my hand and I again pull it away. “Lincoln, just because you have a mate doesn’t
mean we can ‘t be close like we used to be.” “You will always be my first love and if she is gone then
maybe you can find those feelings for me. Before I can even attempt to tell her to f**k off”, I hear a
growl and Amelia’s scent invades my nose.
Amelia POV
When we walk into the office, Jennifer is kneeling next to my mate talking about him mating her. “Move
your a** away from my mate now you b**ch.” She turns to the sound of my voice and there is shock on
her face. “What didn’t expect to see me again after you helped my parents take me away from Lincoln
and our pack.” She stands and her eyes sh ck.”Lincoln and this pack should belong to someone
pure like me, not a wh*re like you.” I can see she is ready to shift and attack me when Lorraine steps in
front of me. She immediately stops and her look changes to hurt. “How could you want this for your
son?” “She is pregnant by another Alpha and you are willing to ept her.” “He deserves a pure mate
that can give him a real heir.” Lorraine growls and grabs her by the throat. She begins to squeeze and
Jennifer scratches at her hand trying to break free. I ce my hand on her shoulder. “Not until Lincoln
hears all she has done.” Lorraine drops her to the floor. As she gasps for air I step around and punch
her in the face as hard as I can. She falls over unconscious on the ground. Lorraine wraps her arm
around me “well done sweetheart.”
We both lean down and Lincoln grips my hand. The door flies open and the doctor rushes inside. “What
the hell happened?” she says as she looks between Lincoln and Jennifer. Lincoln is awake but
whatever they gave him hasn’t wornpletely off yet. “My parents gave him something that knocked
him out.” She pulls a syringe out of her bag and leans down giving Lincoln the shot. Within seconds he
ispletely coherent. “Lincoln, can you call for the guards to take Jennifer to the cells so I can tell you
all that I have learned.” “Of course, my love.” He links the guards and they arrive a few minutester to
take her away. Dr. Nielson leaves after she makes sure that Lincoln is fine. “I’ll leave you two to talk”
Lorraine says. “No, please stay you’re going to want to hear this story.”
She takes a seat and Lincoln won’t let me go. He takes a seat and pulls me onto hisp. I rub circles
on his back as I tell the story. I tell him about Jennifer and I’m d she isn’t in the room because I have
to kiss Talon to calm him down. “We will deal with her but you need to hear the rest of the story.” “How
could she possibly know that ba**ard As?” “I don’t believe she knows As directly.” He looks at me
with confusion on his face. “Jennifer mentioned Elder Thomas.” “I believe he got her to help my
parents.” “That son of a b**ch.” I tell them how they made it out of the territory but I was saved by an
Alpha. “What Alpha saved you?” “I’ll forever be in his debt” Lincoln says. I smile at Lorraine and then
back to my mate. “Alpha Charles saved me from my parents.”
“My Charles” Lorraine says like, a question. “Yes, he knocked my father out and he told me to go back
to my mate.” I can see Lincoln is torn after what Charles did. “Lincoln your dad made a mistake.” “He
isn’t perfect but he did the right thing when it mattered most.” “If he didn’t stop them, I would be with
As right now.” He growls and buries his head in my neck. He stands lifting me with him until he sets
me on my feet. He kisses my forehead and I’m so d to be back here with him.
Lincoln POV
I link Michael e to my office please.” A few secondster he walks in. I give him the short version
of what Amelia just told us. “Stay with them until I get back.” “I need to go find my father.” “If you go
straight out the back door of the pack house you should run right into them, Lincoln”, Amelia says. I
lean in and peck her lips before I head for the door. As soon as I am out the back door, I shift into
Talon. We take off at full speed. I catch my father’s scent and I step out from the behind the trees.
Linda is begging for her life as she sits near a lifeless wolf, I assume is Jack’s wolf. Maverick my
father’s wolf, is pacing back and forth. “Maverick” I yell and he turns toward me. Just as he does Linda
shifts heading for Maverick.
I don’t even get the words out when Maverick turns catching her wolf in his mouth. He mps down
and I hear bones break. He drops her to the ground. My father shifts and we stand in silence for a few
minutes. He pulls on shorts before he walks toward me. “Lincoln” he says but I raise my hand to stop
him. “I was so angry with you for what you did.” “I’m sorry” he starts to say and I again stop him. “Dad,
you tried to take my mate from me.” “I know I did and I will spend the rest of my life making up for it if
you and Amelia will forgive me.” “When I saw them taking her from you, I thought about your mother.”
“How I feel since she rejected me is indescribable.” “I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.” “I would
never want this pain for you Lincoln.” I pull him into a hug. “I forgive you dad.” He pulls back and for the
first time in my life I see tears in my father’s eyes. “Thank you, Lincoln.” “Charles Thomas I lift your
banishment from the Nightfire pack.” “Do you think your mother will ever forgive me?” “I hope so dad.”
We shift heading back toward the pack. We both shift pulling on shorts. We head up to the office and
when my mother sees us, she rushes over hugging my father. I smile and motion my head for Amelia
and Michael to leave my office to give them privacy. I have a phone call to make. This time he is going
to be very sorry and wish that he left well enough alone.
