Amarah Something has been bothering me about Lilith ever since she arrived at the Pack, but I can’t put my finger on it. I don’t doubt her story for a second, her Mate really did a number on her and I believe if he got is hands on her he would kill her. It is a good thing her Mate never showed up while she was in the infirmary or there would have been more than enough Pack-members willing to deal with him, but I doubt he knew where she had gone. Maybe now that the Pack-bond with Hollow Moon Pack had been severed that he might have an idea, but he would never be able to come anywhere near her. Lilith looked a lot better than when she got here and Cameron had informed me that she even gained weight while she was in the infirmary, not that she had been starved or anything but she was probably kept on the bare minimum of food she should have gotten.I also feel better knowing that the Royal Squads are here to protect her and with Lilith being part of the Royal Pack her case will end up on the King’s desk. Our Pack-phone ringing pulls me from my thoughts and I sigh before I pick it up, “White Mountain Pack, Alpha Amarah speaking.” I answer. “Put your Mate on the phone.” I hear and Theseus puts the phone on speaker after he motioned the others to stay quiet. After he says his name I find out it is Alpha Crios on the other end and my blood starts boiling. “What can I do for you, Alpha Crios?” Theseus asks. “Send my Beta’s Mate home.” He grumbles and I see Linus pushing forward, “Who do you think you are? You don’t get to call out orders at me and next time Alpha Amarah answers the phone you deal with her.” Linus growls before he disconnects the call and I actually see a smirk on his face. “He will call back soon and you will answer the phone, if he asks for me again disconnect it, Little One.” Linus links me and I know he is probably right, the dumbass will call again. If he has a brain he will deal with me, but I truly believe that the Moron is incapable of using that tiny bit of brain of his. It takes a few minutes before the phone starts ringing again, but this time I place it on speaker immediately and it sounds like our bird-brained Alpha actually listened. “Alpha Amarah, I want you to send my Beta’s Mate home immediately.” He growls and I honestly believe it took a lot for him to do this the correct way. “Alpha Crios, Lilith has become a member of our Pack and as such I will ask her to come to my office to answer your request.” I say as I roll my eyes at the phone, it only takes her a few minutes to walk into my office as I had told her not to knock and I only did it to annoy the hell out of Alpha Crios. As she walks in she asks me why her presence was needed in the Alpha office and I see Theseus giving her two thumbs up, while the others have to keep themselves from laughing out loud. Alpha Crios is yelling through the phone at Lilith and I don’t think twice about it as I disconnect the call. Through the mind-link everyone starts betting on how long it will take before he calls back and I see Lilith smile as Alastor start counting back from five. The moment he says zero the phone starts ringing again and Lilith looks rather flabbergasted. He definitely learned his lesson as he asks me again to send his Beta’s Mate home, “Lilith, do you want to return to Hollow Moon Pack or to your Mate?” I ask her and I watch as she looks at Delia before she answers my question. “No, Alpha Amarah. I don’t want to return to either one of them.” Both males start cussing and swearing at her answer and I link Alastor to guide Lilith out of my office, I don’t need her to hear what they have to say. I don’t hang up as Eos placed a recorder next to the phone and I want the Council to hear it if they make any threats towards Lilith or our Pack. “Alpha Amarah, you better send my Sister home or I will be knocking on your door soon. Lilith will return to her Mate and there is nothing you can do about that, unless of course you want to go to war with me.” He growls before he hangs up and I stare at the phone as his words sink in. “No wonder Delia took on the Luna position so easy, her Mother is an Alpha’s Daughter. Why did Lilith chose to become the Beta’s Mate? She would have gotten an Alpha as her fated Mate or at least a male from an Alpha bloodline.” I whisper and I know everyone is trying to figure it out. Minerva flashes me an image and I quickly grab the file Cameron made for the Council, looking for the pictures he took of her after she got here. I look through every picture in there and suddenly I understand why I had this feeling that something was off with Lilith.
