Sam POV My mind was exploding. “What?” I ask uncertain if I heard Josie right. “We are having a pup,” Josie repeats with her smile weakening. “How?” I ask. “How?” Josie asks uncertain what I was asking. “I mean when? Or how? I do not know what I mean!” I reply as I sit there in complete shock. “Are you not happy?” Josie asks cautiously. I look at her still in shock and I realize she is thinking I am not happy about the pup. I lean down and kiss her softly before I reply, “I am not just happy, baby, I am ecstatic!” I say to her before I capture her lips in a more demanding kiss. I want to get her back to our room and show her just how happy I am to hear this amazing news. “Are you happy?” I ask Josie. I knew she had not had the best time growing up and I wondered what was going through her mind. “I am thrilled but terrified,” she replies. “I will be with you every step of the way,” I promise her. “I am counting on that. I did not have

Sarah POV I loved how Josie had come out of her shell. She was always stunning, but she grew more beautiful as you got to know her and see her for herself. We were in the process of getting our hair and makeup done for tonight’s ceremonies. We had a late lunch so we would not be hungry before the evening’s festivities. Tonight, would start with Adam and Jenna entering the event hall. Then Jack and Sam would enter the hall and finally Josie and I would enter. My brother, Lucas, is able to attend this evening, so he is going to walk both Josie and I to the head of the room where the ceremonies will take place. He was thrilled when I asked him and even more touched when Josie shyly asked if she could join us. He has been checking on us throughout the afternoon to see if we needed anything, to the point we finally told him to go check on the guys. I laughed as Lucas took the hint and went to look for Adam, Sam, and Jack. While we

Lucas POV Holding Daniel in my arms was a dream come true. I could not believe he was in front of me. I had dreamed of this moment for so long it seemed surreal. I kissed the top of his head before pulling back slightly, “How are you here?” I ask him excitedly. Had he come home for good? I could only hope he was done whatever mission he had been on. He shakes his head, clearing his throat, “No, I am not coming home yet,” he says as he pulls away. “Why are you here?” I ask feeling my heart crumble a little, but equally thrilled to see him even for a few moments. “It is far worse than I thought it would be,” he says quietly. “How do you mean?” I ask wondering what hell he is going through. “I cannot get too far into it. The less you know the better. But for now, I just needed to see you. To remind myself of why I am doing this,” Daniel says as he turns away from me. I move behind him wrapping my arms around his waist, resting my chin on hi

Josie POV I felt nerves roll over me. I still had this fear that everyone would reject me once Adam tried to bring me into the Pack. I had no idea what to expect. I had never been part of a Pack before and I still did not fully understand rituals, and what it meant to be a Pack member. I knew I would die for the Pack but was that enough? I was also surprised at how extravagant everyone looked. They were all dressed as if it was a gala event. I realized swearing in your Beta Female and Gamma Female would be important, I just did not realize that Packs took these things as seriously as they did. Like everything mattered and deserved to be celebrated. I realized things were very quiet and saw Adam looking at me along with the others. Clearing my throat, I simply looked at him so he would repeat the question. “Do you, Josie Matthews, accept the Red Pine Pack as your Pack?” Adam asks. Nodding, “Yes, I would be very proud to be a member of th
The Beta's Mate Chapter 121
Sam POV I was so proud of Josie; I was bursting at the seams. I was proud of my Pack. Everyone accepted Josie and that was the most important thing to me. She had been so afraid of the Pack’s response to her that they had overwhelmed her with their acceptance of her. When she first opened her mind to the Pack, I could feel her panic and murmured in her ear how to turn it down. She quickly did and managed perfectly. Now we were dancing, and I was holding onto the love of my life. As we were slowly moving around the dancefloor, I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. I stopped dancing and turned to see my parents standing there smiling. I beamed back at them. With everything that had gone on, we did not have a chance to actually have Josie meet my parents. I turn Josie around to face my parents. She stood there stiff as a board, “Who are these people?” she mind-links me. “My parents,” I quickly reply before moving forward to hug my parents. I

Josie POV “You are making a mistake,” Daniel calls over to me. I look at Daniel, “What happened to you? You used to be a decent guy?” Sam asked Daniel. Whoever this man was, he was not the man we knew. “I am a decent guy. I am trying to encourage her to see her mother,” Daniel says coldly. “No, you are trying to take her for your own gains. You heard the lady, fuck off,” Sam says as he turns to follow me towards Sarah. “She will come to resent you, Sam,” Shane taunts. “Holding her back from her mother,” he adds. I pivot quickly walking back towards them. “Nobody makes decisions for me. I thought I was clear but perhaps not. Bring her here, if she is alive and has something worth sharing,” I say before turning and walking directly to Sarah. Jack was already there helping her up. She was saying something to Jack I had not caught, but she had a worried look on her face. “I need to get her to the hospital to get checked out,” Jack says as
The Beta's Mate Chapter 123
Sarah POV I knew the moment I felt the repercussion of the spell I had cast that I it had been too much. When I was knocked out, I had the reprieve of feeling anything. I only started to come around as Josie was yelling something at Shane and Daniel. Why was Daniel here? Why were any of them here? And what had prevented my spell from taking? I saw Jack in front of me, but I could not hear what he was saying. I had pain in my stomach, “I need to get to Jenna,” I say quietly to Jack. I still cannot comprehend what he is saying. He speaks through our mind-link, “Get on my back sweetheart,” he says as he tells Josie we are going back right away. Josie looks concerned but there is no time to discuss anything, I feel the pain worsening. I hold onto Jack’s wolf’s fur as we rush through the forest. I feel like I pass out at some point as I wake to being carried into the Pack hospital in Jack’s arms. “Hang on sweetheart,” he murmurs to me as he

Jack POV “What?” I ask confused and scared. I only wanted to know the good news. The bad news sounded ominous. “Oh Jack, the baby is safe for now;” Jenna says apologetically. “I did not mean to scare you,” she adds. “And Sarah?” I ask with my heart in my throat. “Sarah is fine. The bad news is she will need to stay on bed rest for at least a month,” she replies. I look at her incredulously. “That is the bad news? I would say that is great news,” I reply feeling excitement once again for our future. Jenna smirks at me, “You obviously have not been around a pregnant she-wolf before. Sarah will go crazy having to stay in bed for a month … well hopefully it will only be a month of bed rest,” she shares with me. “Why does she need bedrest?” Josie asks curiously. “We had to put stiches in to help keep the baby inside her. We need her to carry as close to term as possible,” Jenna says. You could tell she was worried, “So she needs bed rest? S

One Year Later …Sam POV As I look around, I see the most important people in my life surrounding me. I smile as I watch Dylan, our pup, try to stand with Josie holding his hands, protecting him from falling. I see Gracie, and Maryse, Jack and Sarah’s little girl, playing on the blanket in the grass. Their parents keeping a close eye on the girls. Miranda and Rick had joined us with their pups. Their four-year-old Brandon and their pup, Lexi were with them. It was not often that Miranda and Rick trusted to bring their children just anywhere, but we had all grown so close after what we went through almost a year ago our trust with each other had grown exponentially. Lexi was also on the blanket playing with the girls … as much as pups can play. They mostly roll around and slobber at this stage, I think with a chuckle. Daniel and Lucas had also joined us. Among all the couples, they struggled the most. Daniel had post-traumatic stress disorder from wha

Sarah POV The entire hospital is complete chaos. So much is happening, so many injured warriors. I was grateful to the Moon Goddess every time someone came in and it was not Jack. I felt on edge as warriors kept being sent in. Some would return to the battle, but others lost their fight.Before I can move to comfort a lost warrior’s mate, my heart jumps in my throat as I see Colby run in with Jack. He was wounded. I scream as I see him passed out and not responding to my calls. As I turn to look to Jenna she starts to move forward until the next person to run in is Rick with Adam and Kate.“We have lost him twice on the way in, we need to get him to surgery now,” Kate demands as she runs to see which operating room is free. Jenna moves forward slowly to Adam trying to heal him of his ailments. “Jenna, we need to move now. There are too many to fix and he is going to bleed out if I do not get him into the operating room now,” Kate says to Jenna.Jenna looks at me,

Sam POV As we take off out the front door of the Pack house, we agreed that Adam and Jack would go with Colby and Kate to the north and we would take Drake and Maddie with us to the south. Sarah was contacting Miranda to organize her witches. Before we hit the forest to shift, Miranda and Rick were beside us. We tore off clothes as we shifted. Paws kicking up the dirt as we raced to the borders wanting to reach our panicked warriors. They were outnumbered and were quickly being overpowered. Suddenly everything went quiet through the mind-links. We were stunned into pushing harder to get there to see what was happening. I reached out to Adam but quickly learned our mind-link abilities were broken. Slowing down I shift quickly as everyone slows around me. “Our mind-link channels are broken with the Pack. We need to proceed with caution,” I say before quickly shifting back into my wolf, Chance, and taking the lead to get us to the southern bor

Daniel POV I was never so scared as I had been when I had been tortured. I knew I was not long for this world when they punctured my lung. When I saw Miranda, I was blown away. That this courageous woman would take a chance for a man she barely knew was beyond my comprehension. There was so very little I could do to thank her for being there at the right moment. I recognized Jenna but I did not recognize the other woman. As if understanding my confusion, she steps forward, “Hi, I am Kate from the Silver Crescent Pack,” she says as she introduces herself. “We are very pleased that you have woken up. It was a little touch and go there,” she adds. “I am sorry, did you say the Silver Crescent Pack?” Daniel asks. “Yes, I am the Luna and a doctor,” she replies wondering about my question. “I am sorry, I heard your Pack name mentioned at the Council. Most recently there was something about watching a girl more closely,” I share with them.

Josie POV No matter what anyone said, I knew they were all putting themselves on the line for me. I was eternally grateful and eternally feeling guilty at the same time. I was learning this is what family did but having never experienced it before it was a foreign concept to me. And it was hard to accept the help that I knew they would force on me. It overwhelmed me in a good way. Looking around the conference room table, we had Colby, Kate, Sarah, Jack, Sam, Adam, Jenna, Miranda, Rick, and myself. Alpha Jared had rushed home to his Pack after the implied threat over Luna Lily and the children she was looking after. Lucas would not leave Daniel’s side – not that I had blamed him. And Alpha Thomas had errands to run in town so he would join us after. “We need to split up when they come. They have already indicated each border would be at risk,” Adam says to the group. “I want to propose that we all go to the first location. If they attack al

Lucas POV I have been sitting by Daniel’s bed since they finished operating on him. I cannot bear to look at my mate without rage taking over my mind. Seeing the abuse Daniel withstood breaks me. I do not know how he survived but I will be forever grateful he had the strength to do so. I watch the consistent blip on the machine indicating he is alive. It has been one day since he came out of the operating room. One day I have had him by my side. I have held his hand. I have spoken with him even though he is still in a coma. I have not left his side. One day that has given the medical team a reason to breathe a semi-cautious sigh of relief. The longer his body kept going, the better chances he had of making a full recovery.His boss has stood by as well. So far nobody but me and the medical team have visited Daniel. That is the way I have wanted it. I needed to know he was safe. And as Colby had reminded us, we did not know who we could trust.
The Beta's Mate Chapter 150
Kate POV I had witnessed my share of injured warriors, but I have never seen a wolf survive this level of torture. There were so many things happening at once it was hard to keep up with them. Even with the Pack Hospital’s doctor, Jenna, and myself – it felt like we were fighting a losing battle. I could hear this man’s mate yelling in the hallway. It was a distraction we did not need. Jenna asked Adam through their mind-link to try and remove him. I understood how hard it was to leave your mate, but right now we needed to focus one hundred percent. As I heard the yelling fade away, I was able to focus more intently on what was happening in front of us. Daniel was crashing as Jenna jumped up trying to stem the blood flow. The gunshot wound was causing us the most worry at the moment. While the other injuries would have to be fixed, the gunshot wound, with the wolfsbane and silver, continued to ooze blood. I needed to get in there and remov
The Beta's Mate Chapter 149
Josie POV It was taking too long. We all knew it. Nobody was saying it, but we knew. She should have returned by now. It had been ten minutes since she had broken her connection with Sarah. Ten long minutes of Rick pacing, everyone watching their clocks. “She will come back. She promised,” Rick mutters. Before anyone could say anything there was this goddess awful sound of something falling. And then suddenly before our eyes was Miranda and Daniel. Both of them full of blood. Rick is the first to reach Miranda, “I am okay, Rick, I am okay,” she says as she passes out. This is normal, I remind myself. Whenever she uses her powers, she needs Rick to help bring her back. Jenna is there to try and reach for Miranda, wanting to check her head wound. From what I could tell it was something Jenna could easily mend as she brushed her hand over it, and it stopped bleeding. Wanting to do a thorough check of Miranda, Jenna murmurs to Rick, “Let’s

Sarah POV I finally had an opportunity to help support this effort. I knew it was minimal but at least I could keep track of Miranda. I would feel when she would have to cut the attachment to me. Me sharing my powers allowed her to extend the use of hers so it would give her an extra ten minutes at best. Rick stands and starts to pace. I say nothing. Nobody offers any words of platitude. There is nothing that can be done or said to make this any better. Kate and Jenna are discussing strategies quietly for when Miranda arrives back. Strategies that include if she is compromised in any way. Jack moves towards me, but I shake my head no. Anything could break our connection and it was not going to be me being distracted. The longer I could hold the connection, the longer she would have support. We did not know what she would encounter when she arrived, but my added powers would ensure her success. I wish I could see what she was seeing. I wi
