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

Sam POV Fuck! I handled that perfectly. Why could Josie not see that she was just as valuable as anyone else? It was like she was continually trying to prove herself. Or prove that she was worthy or maybe that she was not as important as everyone else. I did not know the answer in this moment, but I did know that she had more than just herself to think about. Our pup deserved to grow up and have two parents who loved him. I slam the door harder than I intended to and instantly had a mind-link from Adam. “Everything okay down there?” he asks. “Everything will be fine – sorry to disturb you Alpha,” I reply showing respect when I was not very respectful. “Hey, our rooms are soundproofed – how did you hear that?” I ask as an afterthought. “Just on my way down to get some snacks for my mate,” he says with a chuckle. I chuckle as well and sign off wishing him a good night. I tug off my clothes and move to have a shower hoping to cool off bef

Sarah POV It was day five on bedrest. I do not think I will survive any longer. Jack is acting like a mother hen. I cannot breathe without Jack calling Jenna to check on me. Even she is getting frustrated with his panic attacks. I get it. I am terrified as well and doing everything that has been asked of me. Jack’s panic is just adding a tad more stress to the situation. I finally got him to leave me alone for five minutes when someone knocks on the door. I sigh, “Come in Josie,” I reply as I see her wave a white tissue. “I hear you have had a rough morning?” Josie asks as she steps into the bedroom with a sympathetic smile. “I only had a rough morning because of my mate!” I reply in frustration. Nodding, “I understand Sarah, but try to see it from his view. He was there when he thought he was going to lose both of you. He will settle down soon enough,” Josie says wisely. “I know, I know, but I cannot take much more. I want to be doing
The Beta's Mate Chapter 127
Josie POV Things had been suspiciously quiet for the past two weeks. Crickets. Nothing was happening. No more border attacks. No sign of our mother. Simply nothing. Jack had identified the warriors who had been bribed by the Council to leave an opening for access to the territory. Needless to say, after the relevant information was obtained from them, they were destroyed. They would never be trusted again. Sarah was adjusting to her life on bedrest. I kept her time filled with files and discussing scenarios that we would use to keep Jenna safe, if the need arose. Even with Sarah on bedrest she was proving to be an asset to the team. We have both hit our needy points in our pregnancies. It is a total piss off for Sarah as Jack avoids her like the plague, but Sam and I are quite enjoying the time as I tease her mercilessly. Jenna is getting closer to her delivery date. Everything has been going perfectly for her, but she is anxious to del

Josie POV “Who is coming?” I murmur to Jenna as we stand there watching our mother try to get some rest. The doctor had been in twice to adjust her pain medications and to try and help her rest. Her main concern was us and whoever was coming for us. Sam and Adam had joined us after the first warning from our mother. Since then, she had woken up two more times to warn us. We tried to assure her we were fine and were watching for an attack. She just became more distraught. “You will not know when they arrive,” she says as the doctor administered more drugs that would calm her down. Her blood pressure was high, on top of her other ailments. For a wolf to have high blood pressure, it had to be severe. As she finally settled, Sam pulled me into his arms. “No matter what, you go no place by yourself,” he says to me. I nod as I rest my head against his shoulder. Jack went to Sarah immediately to ensure she was protected. We had increased warrior

Sam POV I grab Josie’s hand and tug her behind me. “Adam, where are you?” I mind-link my Alpha wanting to ensure his safety. “We are locked inside the hospital room. I cannot take Jenna from here. She cannot shift,” Adam mind-links me back. “We will come to you through the window,” I reply quickly. “No, take Josie to the secure bunker. We need to ensure your safety. If anything happens to us, you and Josie will run the Red Pine Pack,” he says coldly before closing our mind-link. Josie had heard the conversation and I see tears well up in her eyes. She had just found out she had a sister and was going to potentially lose her. “Come on babe, we have to go,” I say to Josie as I open the window and do a quick scan to ensure no threat is around us. Helping Josie out the window, we both shift and take off toward the secret bunker. I do not see any chaos outside the Pack hospital. In fact, there is no visible attack on the Pack. What the hell?
The Beta's Mate Chapter 130
Josie POV As I land in front of them, I swipe at the closest man and my claws rip into his side. His intestines start to spill out of his body. He quickly shifts but not fast enough to stop his imminent death. I turn slowly towards the other man as he simply stands there. “I want to take you in peacefully, Josie,” he reiterates as we stand off looking at one another. Not wanting to waste time, I leap at him as he tosses me off him still not shifting. I go again to attack him, and he punches me in the chest cracking a bone. I realize quickly I am going to exhaust myself before he even attempts to shift. My thoughts are erratic as my only goal is to get to Sam. Refocusing I step back, and we stare at one another. I consider taking another leap, but I decide against it. He is positioned to receive my next attack. He still has not shifted and I need him to shift to allow Alexis, my wolf, to take over and fight to get us free. Looking behind hi

Jack POV Within the hospital there was chaos. Doctors were yelling for nurses to come help with patients – specifically Adam and Sam. They were still trying to save Adam from the poison coursing through his veins. And Sam they were trying to stop the bleeding. His wolf, Chance, was doing what he could to help but these wounds had happened in Sam’s human form and that would require more doctor intervention. I am pacing between rooms when I see Josie running around the corner. I stop her grabbing her up in my arms, “He is still alive, Jack. I have not felt the bond break,” Josie says repeatedly. “They are working on him Josie. Just sit here,” I say pointing to a chair in the hall. “No, I want to be with him,” she says shakily as she tries to get around me. “You will just get in the way. Sit your ass down and do what you are told, for once!” I yell at her. I had not intended to be so harsh, but I was feeling the pressure of both the alpha and

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.
The Beta's Mate Chapter 152
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
