Adam POV Wanting my trackers to hunt down the rogue, I could only focus on the confusion and chaos surrounding me. While wolfsbane would not be lethal in small doses, we could not be certain what had been tossed at me was solely wolfsbane. I could feel some effects of silver in the mix. Sam and another warrior carried me toward the Pack house, getting the doctor on alert to meet us when we arrived. With wolfsbane, I would not be able to shift; if silver was a part of the concoction, I would experience further damage. Both would impact my wolf, Jake. I was thinking of Jenna during this time wanting to make sure was alright. I could not mind-link anyone in my Pack and not being able to speak was causing me increased stress and agitation. Trying to get Sam’s attention was impossible. He was focused on getting his Alpha the medical attention he needed. And the other warriors had remained at the border, hopefully getting the trackers after the
Adam POV “Who is working with the rogues? And is there a traitor among us?” I asked the group surrounding me. Jenna had little awareness of the Packs in our alliances so she would not be able to help us identify potential threats. But she would likely be able to tell us what looked more suspicious than us. Particularly since she was looking from the outside of the puzzle. “What is going on in here?” Doctor Rivers asked startling all of us. Suddenly realizing that my speedy healing would be perceived as nothing short of a miracle, Jenna sits up as quickly as she can with a smile. “Must be that strong mate bond, Doctor Rivers,” she says. He looks at all of us suspiciously. “I have never experienced anyone coming around that quickly,” he says as he continues to stare at us. Moving forward slowly, he checks my vitals and sighs. “I don’t suppose you are going to tell me what really happened?” he asks. We look at him confused. “I realize I ma
Jenna POV I was up and mobile early the next morning. I was excited to see the contract offer. I waited impatiently for it and finally decided I better go eat before I missed breakfast. I walked out of my room, heading down the stairs. I see Sam walking out of his room, meeting me on the stairs. “What are you doing up so early?” he says to me. Looking at him with my eyebrows raised, “I should be asking you how come you are so late getting up?” I say to him with a smirk. Laughing, “Okay you got me. I may have had some company last night,” he says with a bit of color on his cheeks. Shaking my head, “You and Jack better be careful. Mates do not like to know their significant other has been with Pack members,” I say to him playfully. Sam looks at me with an odd look on his face before agreeing with my analysis. “You could be right about that, Jenna; we will have to tone it down in case we meet our mates,” he says. “Although we haven’t found
Jenna POV I was going to be late for my coffee date if I did not hurry. I had noticed the Pack door open as I swung out of the parking lot but did not slow down otherwise, I would definitely be late. It was quickly after that I saw a car pull out and speed up to catch up to me. Realizing Adam must have had a warrior follow me for protection detail I shook my head. I should not have been so lost in my reading and considered he would want to know where I was going. This was the disadvantage of not having the option to mind-link one another. Speaking of my research, what I had learned so far had been minimal. I would have to share the details with Adam sooner than later. I needed to find other research materials before I could come to any conclusions. The history books do indicate that rogues have, in the past, attacked the healer for their own benefits but what those benefits are is still a mystery. It is also clear that the healer, if not p
Jenna POV I got home and reviewed the contract in great detail. I could not believe the offer. It was better than what I had been offered originally at my old hospital. I say old because there is no way I can refuse this offer. I have the chance to specialize in various areas, including surgery. The salary compensation is comparable, and I will have my own patients whom I will oversee, with Doctor Matthews input, of course. I was not a full-fledged doctor yet, but I was being given the opportunity of a lifetime. I ran down the stairs to see Adam. He, Sam, and Jack were in his office when I burst in. I apologized first and then walked over to where Adam sat at his desk. I showed him the details of the contract, which he agreed were amazing. I then looked at him suspiciously, “Did you have anything to do with this offer?” I ask him. He throws his hands up, “I swear, I did nothing but open a door for you. This is all you,” he promises me.
Jenna POV Adam and I spent the next couple of days planning the Luna ceremony. From the catering, which we agreed on outsourcing so that the Omegas could attend the ceremony without having to worry about preparing food or serving. To the event itself – it will be semi-formal for those attending. Adam and I will be in formal outfits for the event. We have a photographer coming to get pictures, which excites me. I would love to have a nice picture of Adam and I to frame for our first official event. We have also sent out invitations to those Packs within the alliance. Elders have been invited and the Pack itself, of course, was invited. Adam has some reservations about inviting those in the alliance. Until we can understand what is going on with the rogues and who might be supporting them, he is reluctant to have many in attendance. But as I reminded him, better to keep people close and observe them in our environment versus their own environment.
Adam POV “Because she is our future,” the rogue replied. “What the hell does that mean?” I yell at him as my warriors bound through the trees to stand beside me. The three rogues shift and turn to run off as my warriors chase after them. They are still on our territory, so I jump into the run and try to snag one of the rogues. One leaps off our territory and takes off before we can catch him, but the remaining two are caught. One fights with our two warriors who captured him. Unfortunately, his attack warrants a lethal counterattack, and he is fatally wounded. The other is wounded but will heal on his own. We take the captured rogue to our holding cells for Sam and me to question. I make my way back to the Pack house as the remaining warriors dispose of the dead rogue’s body. I grab a pair of basketball shorts and run into the Pack house to grab a quick shower and change into fresh clothes before heading toward our holding cells. I can s
Jenna POV The expletives that ensued after I shared the end goal with the guys made the air blue. “Absolutely not; you are not leaving this Pack again Jenna, until we neutralize the threat,” Adam says. Sam and Jack nod in agreement. I sigh, “Guys, that is why you are trying to figure it all out, to ensure nothing happens,” I say to them. “Red, we cannot guarantee your safety unless we keep you on Pack lands,” Adam says to me adamantly. Looking at Sam and Jack he continues, “We need to postpone the Luna ceremony. We cannot have random Packs entering our territory for the event,” he says. Sam and Jack again nod in agreement to my annoyance. “I am starting work at the hospital tomorrow. I will have a guard; you will have to deal with that. I cannot back out now without causing too much fuss and drawing further attention to us,” I explain to them logically. “We need more than one warrior on duty,” Jack mutters. Adam agrees while Sam asks, “H
Six months later ... Jenna POV I sat feeding my pup, Grace. She was the most beautiful little girl I had ever seen, but I am sure I am quite bias I think with a chuckle. She had dark hair like her daddy, and silver eyes like me with her angelic features. Adam was an amazing daddy to his little girl. He got up with me for all feedings and took her to his office often to give me a break. There was no me and him; it was one hundred percent us. I loved him more for that. Grace had been born two months ago. I do not know how, but I was blessed with a very quick labour and delivery. I suspect it had something to do with Gracie’s impatience at wanting to be born. She was ready to see this world and meet her family. We knew from the moment of her birth she had a strong aura. You knew you were in the presence of someone special. Her eyes were bright, and she has been aware of her surroundings since the first moment she opened them. It would n
Adam POV As I come through the forest and come upon the scene in front of me my heart sinks as I see yet another ring of rogues surrounding Jenna. I can see the two warriors in front of her being destroyed as Tim makes his way towards her. I roar my anger as Jake pounces forward destroying all rogues in his path. My only goal is to get to Jenna. When I heard from her it was Elder Fred who had betrayed us, I was filled with rage. I wanted to destroy him myself, but I see someone beat me to it as his insides are spilled out on the ground in front of Jenna. I know, from Jenna, that the Pack members present are unable to shift as they were affected by the wolfsbane. It also explains why they could not communicate with me. Fortunately, the rogues were not bothering with them, and I could see the women were pushing the children away as best they could without drawing attention to themselves. I make my way through the crowd of rogues along with th
Adam POV It felt great to have Sam back again. I am sure there is some story behind his mystery woman, but that would be a conversation over a cold beer once we cleared out the rogue situation. I shifted midstride, destroying my clothes but there was no time to stop and change. Our warriors were updating us that the numbers of rogues entering our territory were higher than we had seen before. They might be an army, but they were not a healed army so there would be disorganization amongst them. They would fight for so long before their own goals would shadow what the current head rogue wanted. And it concerned me that the head rogue could be Tim. He knew more about Jenna because of his connection to the Rogue King and Wendy. Clearly it put him at an advantage we would have preferred he not have. As I broke through the clearing, Sam and Jack were close on my heels. I could not believe what I saw. There were at least thirty rogues fighting o
Adam POV Jenna’s father was brought back into the courtroom. Her mother, Luna Ashley, was also brought in for her husband’s sentencing. She sits directly behind Alpha Gordon, with warriors on either side of her. Everyone was required to stand as the judges returned to their seats. They looked solemnly at those of us present. “There is no winning side in today’s proceedings,” the judge starts to say. “There is only room for justice. The atrocities committed by Alpha Gordon Frasier in the case of trying to kidnap his own daughter, in return assisting with the kidnapping of someone else, plus supporting the development of a rogue army leave us little wiggle room for sentencing anything less than life in prison,” the judge concludes his spiel. Jenna’s mother screams and the warriors must grab her to keep her from lunging toward the judges. Alpha Gordon slams his fist down on the table, breaking it in half as he stands also threatening the judg
Adam POV Since Jenna’s mother’s revelation that the rogues were coming for us, I have rallied our troops to get them ready for an impending attack. I have tried to reach Sam with no luck. It is unusual that I would not be able to reach him, but I had to assume he was having a good time. He was due back by the end of this week. I would worry if he did not show up then. Jenna’s mother disclosed nothing more than the statements, “I expect they will be here any time now.”. That had been a couple of days ago. Jenna had a lot of time for painstaking self-reflection during this time. Well reflection on her entire life. How parents could treat their daughter as they had was still beyond reproach to me. Jenna was also suffering thinking of Josie. Not lost on us was the fact that Eric tried to become her mate. That reflects how little everyone knew of the deceit of Jenna’s parents and the Rogue King himself. Had they known the truth, they may have avoided a
Jenna POV It had been a couple days since we had incarcerated my father. My mother had arrived with more flair than I had ever noticed before. When she first saw me, she walked over to me standing beside Adam and Jack. I had expected a hug. What I got was a slap in the face. The parking area echoed with the slap against my face. Adam quickly grabbed my mother’s arm breaking it. “How dare you touch my mate?” he yells at her. “Oh please, you did not want her in the beginning and now you expect me to believe you have changed. It is because she is a healer and the strength she brings to your Pack!” she shrieks. I cringe back hating being reminded of our start. And now I have to wonder if my parents ever really cared for me, or did they only like what I brought to the table? “Why did you bother keeping me a secret?” I ask her as she stands there nursing her broken arm. “What?” she asks me confused with my question. “Why didn’t you tell others I had he
Adam POV I could not believe what I was hearing. Like this made some kind of sense to Alpha Gordon. I could feel the tension and heartbreak that Jenna was feeling. I had wrapped my arms around her, feeling her coldness in the dank dungeons. I tried to move her, but she was standing firm. She was not finished with her father. “What do you get in return for turning me and Josie over?” Jenna asks her father. He looks at her confused. “Jenna, you are safe for now. They have Josie,” he says like he has saved her. “That’s just it, I am safe for now, what happens when they need me? Are you going to kidnap me yourself?” she asks her father. “Jenna, you always were so dramatic,” her father hisses. “What is the harm in healing the men and women to help them?” he asks her. We all look at him incredulously. “You want me to heal an army of rogues who want to destroy Packs?” she asks him slowly. It is like he does not see the harm of what he is sa
Adam POV Jenna had taken a seat on the couch. Jack was standing against the wall next to where she sat. And I was sitting behind my desk. I had been advised two warriors were on their way with Tiffany. The door was open in expectation of their arrival. As the warriors entered the Pack house, we could hear Tiffany screaming profanities at the warriors. They clearly were not bothered by her words as they suddenly appeared with her in the doorway. Pushing Tiffany inside she fell to her hands and knees in the middle of my office. As she turned to scowl at the two warriors, I yelled, “Enough!”. She was startled and suddenly looked around the room realizing where she was. A look of fear crossed her face briefly before she smirked at me. She had the audacity to smirk. She stands in front of me, “You called for me, Alpha? Finally, had enough of your Luna?” she taunts. I see Jenna tense out of the corner of my eye, but she does not rise. I can
Jenna POV I try to get away from Adam scrambling on my hands and knees to get to my father. I hated him in this moment, but I did not want him to die. Adam held me back until he was certain the shooter was no longer a threat. He and Jack protected me with their bodies as we hurried to where my father had fallen. I immediately see that my father has a gun shot through the chest. I quickly role him and see that the bullet went through him. I am uncertain what might have been hit with the shot, but it is a good sign that the bullet went through him. I tell Adam so they can start looking to make sure the bullet did not strike anyone in the diner, while I go to work on my father. I do a discreet scan and see that his heart was nicked with the bullet but everything else is fine. I do a quick fix that does not require a lot of my healing efforts. I put my hand over the bullet hole and hold it there while his wolf tries to stop the bleeding. Bein
