Chapter 12
12 How You Feel
Amelia POV
Did he just really ask me that question? “He most certainly did and I swear to the goddess if you lie,
Amelia, I’m going to keep you up all night singing until you tell the truth”, Star says. “You traitor aren’t
you scared” I say and she recedes in my mind without answering me. “Now who is talking to their wolf”
Lincoln chuckles. “Before I give you my answer can I ask why you’re asking me this question?” He
takes my hand and I feel faint tingles that I once felt for Atlas. It isn’t possible my bond isn’t even
broken. “Have faith that all things are possible and be honest”, Star whispers. He starts to answer but I
raise my hand to stop him. “That’s not fair you asked me a question and I need to stop being afraid
because of what Atlas did.” “I need to be honest with you.” I can see his distaste for even Atlas’s name
but he stays quiet. “I was twenty when I found out that Atlas was my mate.” “Despite my father
forbidding me to accept the bond because of his Beta status I did.” “I wanted my goddess given mate.”
“We were happy or so I thought until all this happened.” I take a deep breath and continue. “Before I
met Atlas, I found men attractive but I never wanted to be with any of them.” He growls and his eyes
darken. I get to my point so he understands why I’m telling him all these things.
“The first time I met you I was more than attracted to you.” “Both Star and I felt something, but couldn’t
describe it.” “When you touched my hand, I felt a sensation I’ve never felt.” “It wasn’t exactly the mating
tingles, but it was something that made me nervous.” “I couldn’t understand why I would be feeling
anything still being mated to that ba**ard Atlas” He smiles and I keep going because if I don’t get this
all out I will never have the courage to do this again. “Every time I have spent time with you that feeling,
connection has felt stronger.” “When that girl downstairs said she was your future Luna earlier both Star
and I felt anger and jealousy.” “I don’t understand how it’s possible but yes I feel a connection to you
and your wolf.” The smile on his face is brilliant.
Lincoln POV
As soon as the words leave my mouth, I can feel my heart beat speed up. I want to know the answer,
but that doesn’t mean I’m not afraid of what that answer might be. What if she says she doesn’t feel
what I feel? “Lincoln, you know in your heart that’s not true, just let her talk”, Talon says. When she
starts to speak, I feel like my heart is going to beat out of my chest. I hate hearing about that ba**ard
but knowing that she feels something for me is amazing. “It’s my turn” I say squeezing her hand in
mine. “Amelia, the moment I met you, Talon and I both knew you were special.” “I have never felt a
connection to a she-wolf.” “I know you still bear his mark and the bond is not completely broken but I
know in my heart that you are my mate.” I see a single tear run down her face. I reach up, wiping the
tear from her cheek with my thumb. She places her hand on her bump. I’m sure thinking about what
this means with the pup growing in her belly.
I start to reach my free hand toward her belly while looking in her eyes for permission. She smiles and
nods while I place my hand against her. She lays her hands on top of mine. We sit in silence for a few
minutes before I feel movement under my hand. “Oh, my goddess was that the pup?” She laughs “yes,
he is always kicking me.” “We’re having a boy” I ask with wonder in my voice. I can see her smile fall at
my words. “What’s wrong Amelia?” “I know you think we’re mates and I believe that your right but it’s
not fair of me to expect you to be a father to another man’s pup.” “You’re the Alpha of this pack.” “They
expect you to have your own heir.” I bend down on my knees in front of her. “Amelia, look at me.” “You
are my fated mate and I choose you and our son.” Now the tears run down both her cheeks. “Please
don’t cry, I never want to see you cry.” “I just can’t believe this is happening.” I stand up and help her to
her feet. “This is definitely happening.” “I plan to make you mine the minute that you are ready.” I pull
her into me wrapping my arms around her. She comes willingly and wraps her arms around my waist.
We hear someone clear their throat and she stiffens in my arms. I look back to see a smiling Lily. “I’m
gone for a minute and you’re already working your charms on her Lincoln.” I feel Amelia bury her head
in my chest. “I’m not going away Amelia”, Lily says. Amelia steps out of my arms and stands by my
side. The blush on her face is beautiful. I can see she doesn’t know what to say, so I save my mate. “I
am Amelia’s second chance mate.” Lily’s eyes get big and she starts to jump up and down screaming.
“Oh, my goddess this is amazing.” “You two are perfect for each other.” She rushes over and wraps
Amelia in a hug. As she hugs her, I remember something Amelia said when we were confessing our
feelings. “Amelia” she pulls back from Lily. “What were you talking about when you said a woman said
she was my future Luna?” Before she can answer, Lily does. “Oh, please let me tell him” she says to
Amelia. Amelia nods and Lily turns to me. “Jennifer decided to approach us in the dining room being
rude as usual.” “She not only said she was your future mate and Luna, but that Amelia was a filthy
rogue wh*re.” I see red and Talon is at the surface. How dare she say such things? Even if Amelia were
just a visitor, she has no right to do such a thing.
Before I know what’s happening, Amelia wraps her arms around me and I bury my head in her neck,
breathing deep. For the first time, I catch a faint smell of creamsicles. “She is our mate, Lincoln.” “I
have no doubt, Talon.” I take a few deep breaths before I pull back with a smile on my face. “You smell
like my favorite treat as a kid.” She looks at me with confusion. “You smell like creamsicles.” Her
cheeks blush and goddess I love to see her blush. She leans in and breathes deep. She smiles “you
smell like rosewood.” “I love that smell.”
Amelia POV
As soon as I see his eyes turn black, I know his wolf is at the surface hearing Lily’s story. I rush over,
wrapping my arms around his waist. When we both catch each other’s scent, it’s just one more reason
for us both to believe that we are mates. “He is definitely our second chance”, Star says. I still can’t
believe he is willing to accept the pup growing in my belly. He is an amazing man and Alpha. “Amelia
would it be ok if we spoke with my parents.” I can feel the nerves that I had before our conversation
come back tenfold. I can’t imagine his parents are going to be happy he’s mate isn’t pure and is
carrying another man’s pup. He steps in front of me, “Lily can you give us a moment alone.” “Of course,
Lincoln” she says and she is gone. “Amelia, I can tell your nervous but I have spoken with both my
parents about my feelings for you.” “You told them I’m your mate.” “You were that sure?” He smiles “I
told you I have no doubt that we are mates.” “My parents have always been supportive and this is no
different.” “Ok, let’s go talk to them.” He smiles and takes my hand leading me down the stairs. As we
walk through the pack house, I can hear the wolves chattering. I’m sure talking about their Alpha
holding this strange she-wolf’s hand. He squeezes my hand, bringing my focus back to him.
We enter the dining room and his parents are sitting with Lily and Michael at the table. When they
notice us, I’m shocked to see smiles on all of their faces. “Mom and dad could you join me and Amelia
in my office please.” “Of course”, his mother says, jumping up. His father following behind her. We head
out of the dining room and the last person I want to see right now is walking toward us. As soon as she
sees my hand in Lincoln’s, her face morphs into anger.
Lincoln POV
When I see Jenn and the look of anger on her face, I step in front of Amelia. Jenn looks into my eyes
and I see a mixture of anger and hurt. “You have to be kidding me, Lincoln.” “I will only warn you once,
Jenn.” “I would be very careful of the next words that come out of your mouth.” “I think I was perfectly
clear earlier about my mate.” “Are you saying that the pregnant rogue is your mate.” I growl “I warned
you.” “Michael take her to the cells for insulting the future Luna of the pack.” “She is to stay in the cells
for two days.” “Lincoln you can’t do this.” “She is marked and pregnant.” “You’re throwing away the
future you could have had.” “I can and I just did.” “I suggest you take this time in the cells to think about
if you can remain a member of this pack.” “Amelia is my mate and the pup in her belly is my son.”
Michael takes her arm and leads her out of my sight. She is yelling the whole way and I hate that
Amelia had to listen to her bulls*t. “Amelia please don’t let her upset you.” “I’m fine” she says, but I’m
sure that what happened in the past is playing on her mind. I am nothing like that ba**ard and the only
woman I’m ever going to want is Amelia.
We reach my office and my parents take a seat in front of my desk. Amelia takes a seat I placed next to
me. “We just wanted to let you know that I am Amelia’s second chance mate.” “I told Amelia that I will
complete the bond when she is ready.” I look to Amelia to make sure she is ok. “I’m sure this is not
what you expected for your son.” My mother raises her hand and stands coming around the desk.
Amelia stands and my mother pulls her into her arms. “Welcome to our family Amelia.” “We can’t wait
to have our first grand pup.” “Thank you for accepting me and my pup.” I stand next to her “our pup.”
She wraps her arm around my waist. “I mean our pup” she says smiling at me. She looks to my father.
He stands coming over and hugs Amelia. He pulls back laying his hand on her belly. “You keep my
grand pup safe.” “I will, I promise” she says before I pull her back into my side. I am truly blessed and I
will do whatever it takes to make sure my mate and pup stay safe.
