SWNOVELS Chapter Betrayal 86
86 Insecurities Beckham POV
I can't believe that Rosalyn is going to have two pups. I hate that my first thought after she told me was about losing them. I need to focus on enjoying this amazing journey. I won't let my fears stop me from doing that. We've decided to tell everyone at dinner tonight since Miranda, Charlie, Addie, and my brother will be back. The doctor gives us pictures of the twins and vitamins for Rosalyn to take. We make our way back toward the pack house and I can't stop smiling if I tried. "If you keep smiling like that someone is going to know something is up Beck," she says. "I can't help it. I can't believe in just a few months we are going to have two pups. Two pups that will be part me and part you." "I know its surreal. I never expected when we went to bed last night that I was pregnant," she says.
We enter the pack house and I lead Rosalyn into the dining room. Samantha, Marco, Colton, Lily, Emmett, and Stacey are already seated at our table. I try to get myself under control, but Gideon is prancing in my head making it hard to focus. My big bad Alpha wolf is prancing. "I'm strutting because our super sp*rm is giving us two new pups with our amazing mate." I can't stop myself from rolling my eyes.
"You do realize that having twins has nothing to do with our sperm being super. It's because one egg splits for identical twins or because our beautiful mate dropped two eggs for fraterna twins." "I don't care what you say. I still say it was our super sp*rm," he says and puts his block up. Just as we take our seats, I hear screaming coming from the kitchen.
I'm immediately out of my seat and heading in the direction of the sound. I know Rosalyn is right behind me. I step into the kitchen and stop dead in my tracks. Brittany is standing in the middle of the kitchen covered in what can only be described as brown syrup. I cover my mouth trying to hide the smile. Gia is standing off to the side with irritation written all over her face. "What the hell is going on in here?"
"Brittany here thinks that she doesn't have to take orders from a pathetic omega. I have told
her several times that she is an omega, but it doesn't seem to be sinking in. I'm sorry I wasted the syrup Alpha, but she was on the phone with her cousin again talking about Sam not being worthy of an Alpha. When I told her to shut up and get off the phone, she ignored me," Gia says.
"What do
you have to say for yourself, Brittany?""I don't belong in this kitchen doing this
menial work. I am not an omega. I have the right to talk on my phone and I can talk about

whoever I want. It's not against the law to have an opinion," she says. Goddess, this girl is a spoiled brat. I still can't believe how different she is from her father. I have yet to meet her mother, so maybe she takes after her. If that's the case, I feel bad for the poor ba**ard.

He came to speak to me after everyone had dispersed and thanked me for not banishing her. I hope for his sake she gets her head on straight, because I have a feeling if she keeps this up she isn't going to make the week before she is banished. Two guards step into the kitchen. "Take Brittany to the cells for two days, since she thinks she doesn't have to follow orders from her Alpha or superior."
Brittany screeches and tries to move past the guards. "Should we let her shower, Alpha" one of the guards asks as the syrup continues to drip to the floor. "In a few hours." "You can't let me stay like this for hours, it's disgusting? What about her punishment for doing this to me," she says, stomping her foot, pointing at Gia. "Gia, you will need to clean this up. As far as if I can make you stay a sticky mess for hours, the answer is I can, and I will. Maybe making you uncomfortable will get through to you. My patience for your behavior is running thin. The guards pull a screaming Brittany out of the kitchen.
The rest of lunch is uneventful. I lead Rosalyn to my office to discuss the formal ceremony that will take place in a few days. "I want to invite Maureen to join us for dress shopping, especially since Addie will become the Beta Female." "I think that's a wonderful idea. I still can't believe that Barrett ended up being Maureen's second chance."
"I'm just glad that both my mom and Maureen found second chances at happiness after all that Cain and Robert put them through," Rosalyn says. It doesn't take us long to hammer out all the details for the ceremony. We've decided to only invite members of the Black Rose and Golden Leaf. We haven't had an opportunity to speak with any of the other surrounding packs.
I notice Rosalyn yawn and stretch. "How are you feeling, love? Do you want to lie down before dinner?" "No, Beck, I'm fine. Besides, I'm too excited to tell everyone. In fact, I think I'm going to head down to the kitchen to make a cake to serve at dinner tonight." Her excitement is
contagious. I can't wait to tell everyone about the twins too.
Samantha POV
I decided to come out to the garden while Marco was on the phone with Carter. I take a seat on the bench that faces the butterfly tree. I still can't believe that Rosalyn had the flowers that were around my mother's tree back at the Black Rose brought here so I could feel close to her. I chose the butterfly tree because she used to tell me when I was a pup if something ever happened to her that if I saw a yellow butterfly it was her checking on me. I know she would be happy that I've found my mate.

She always told me stories of how mates love each other desperately and how the goddess picks our perfect match. I smile when I think about Marco. It's still so strange to say that I have a mate. I'm nervous about Marco meeting my parents. Not because I'm worried that they won't like him, but because I'm sure everyone will want to know if I'll be returning with him tomorrow to the Golden Leaf. I'm so confused about what I should do. I hate the thought
of being away from my family, but I also hate the thought of not being near Marco.
I never expected to feel so drawn to him without my wolf. I already know if he didn't want me it would shatter me. He says he wants me, but I worry it's more his wolf than Marco himself. I try not to let the words of people like Brittany take up real estate in my head, but it's hard. Marco is an Alpha. I'm sure he has been with many she-wolves.
I can't help but wonder if he has been with she-wolves in his pack. I know he hasn't claimed me because of my age, but what if he had a girlfriend back at his pack? What if she is prettier than I am? What if she has a rank that makes more sense for an Alpha wolf's mate? She is definitely more experienced. How many she-wolves has he been with? I try to push the thoughts away, but I feel like I'm spiraling since this is the first time I've been left alone with my own thoughts.
"Why do you look upset," Marco's voice breaks me out of my thoughts. "Nothing, I'm fine. I'm not upset. How is Bridgette liking the pack?" "No, don't do that? Don't hide what you're feeling from me. Until we can fully bond, I need you to share your thoughts and feelings with me," he says, as he takes my hands in his. "Marco, I know Rocco wants his mate but, I start to say, but he cuts me off with a low growl.
"Don't do that. I want to know every thought you just had Samantha that made you think that Rocco is the only one that wants you" he says. I cast my eyes down, not wanting to have to look into his eyes when I lay myself bare.
"Marco, you are an Alpha, and I'm not naive enough to think you haven't had many she-wolves Hell you could have a she-wolf back in the pack waiting for your return. I'm not built like most she-wolf's, and I'm sure if you have a girlfriend she is gorgeous and built like a model. Beside:
I have no experience because, as you said yourself, I'm a girl, not a woman." "Samantha, I want your eyes before I say what I have to say" he says. I look up into his
beautiful chocolate brown eyes. "I am going to keep saying this until you believe me that I
want you just as much as Rocco does. I am a man and not a beast, so I am able to control my urges, but make no mistake, I want you. Now, as far as the number of she-wolves I've bedded,
the answer is simple, it's none. Up until I was grown, I believed that my parents had the perfect
relationship and that is all I ever wanted," he says.
He chuckles because I must be looking at him like he has ten heads. There is no way he has 3/4

never touched another she-wolf. "I can see you are skeptical, but it's true. Let me tell you something else. I love that you are petit and have amazing curves." I can feel my cheeks heat at his compliment. He moves close enough that I can feel the heat of his body.
"As far as experience, you and I will be each other's firsts. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to know that no man but me will ever touch you. You are mine. Saying that you are a girl is the only way I can keep myself from breaking werewolf law and claiming you. Believe me when I say that when I look at you, I see a woman. A woman I want with every fiber of my being," he says.
My whole body feels hot just from his words. He reaches out and runs his finger down my cheek. "I never want you to doubt what I feel for you. You are mine Samantha. I need you to always be open with me and I promise to do the same with you. I want us to keep nothing from each other. Can you promise me that" he asks. "I promise," I say and he leans forward, pressing a soft kiss on my lips. My first kiss and, despite how feathery soft it feels, its amazing.
A throat clearing has us jumping apart. We both turn in the direction of the sound and I smile when I see my mom with her hands on her hips. I look toward Marco, and he looks scared. I can't help the giggle that escapes me at the thought of my Alpha mate being afraid of Miranda. A yellow butterfly flutters around me and I smile knowing my mom is here with me, sharing this moment.
