Josie POV

“Oh my Goddess,” Jenna whispers. I nod, “Yes, the chip in my brain. I know we are not the only ones who know about it,” I reply as I look to Sam. Sam looks like his heart is in his mouth. “Too fucking bad. Nobody is digging around in your brain trying to retrieve information from it. I do not care who it fucking incriminates,” Sam swears.

“No but it would be a lot easier if I were dead now, wouldn’t it?” I ask him. Shaking his head, Sam pulls me into his lap, and I let him. It saddens me to think this could be the missing key to what everyone is looking for. Everyone around the room is looking at us with sadness reflected in their eyes.

“What if there was a way to access the data without you dying?” Miranda asks. “Well, that would be a hell of a lot better than the alternative,” Jack says tightly. There is a high level of tension in the room. I feel the love of everyone in the room for me and it is overwhelming to know that I

I do feel the book is dragging a bit... like new obstacles are being thrown at these characters, just to prolong the books ending... With the original purpose and storyline, long been completed. Could just be me though :)

Well, they’ve been through so many challenges already, that it’s great to finally get past that and have them start living “normal” lives, but at the same time I hate to see the story end… Love these characters so much!

    Sam POV Adam sweeps Jenna up in his arms as Jenna lets out a pained moan. “How long?” Adam says tersely to Jenna. Not even pretending to not know what he is asking, “A few hours now,” she says as she breathes through a wave of pain. “Fuck Jenna!” Adam says as we run out of the dungeons. “Do not yell at me Adam! I am going to be giving birth in hopefully a few hours. The last thing I need is being pissed off at you,” Jenna says angrily as she is jostled toward the Pack hospital in Adam’s arms. “And I can walk! It would be good to help push the birth along,” she says as Adam stops in mid stride. “Are you sure?” he asks as Jenna wiggles from his arms. “Of course, I am sure, I am a doctor for Goddess’s sake,” Jenna mutters as she starts to slowly walk towards the Pack hospital. She walks for a couple minutes before she is bent over in pain again. The wave subsides and she starts to move again. She does this a few more times before Adam mutters

    Sarah POV Being stuck in this bed while everything was happening around me was infuriating. I knew things were happening and everyone was being great keeping me in the loop; however, finding things out after the facts was killing me. Not being able to help or provide support was difficult to tolerate. As I lay there waiting for Jack to return with food, I contemplated getting up. Just for a few minutes. But I knew better. I was simply frustrated at the waiting. At my last check-up both Jenna and the Obstetrician indicated that I was doing extremely well. That was promising and they both agreed it was. Even if I get off a bed rest, I would still be limited to what I could do. I would need to take caution with a lot of things, but at least I would be able to go to the washroom on my own and have a shower on my own. I turned my frown into a smile as Jack walks into our suite. He knew I was frustrated, and he was getting frustrated not being ab

    Josie POV As Miranda arrives in the room, she first fusses over the very happy mom and then baby Gracie. Gracie’s name fit this little girl so much, it was amazing how Jenna and Adam selected such a perfect name. Sam and I had not started talking about names for our pup, but we still had time. It was exciting to see the first of our pups born. And it was a little intimidating. We would be responsible for a small wolf. Shaking my head, I smiled as Miranda held out her hands to hold the pup. Looking at Jenna for the okay, she smiled and nodded. Not that I did not trust Miranda, but Gracie was not my pup. Handing her over, while holding her head, Miranda scooped her up like an old pro. Having had a pup of her own, it would not be foreign for her to hold pups. And if I recall correctly her Luna had a couple pups of her own. “Oh my, this is a special little wolf,” Miranda murmurs as Jenna beams. Adam still looks a little frazzled. “I thin

    Sam POV We were all tense as we waited for Daniel and Shane to arrive to discuss our proposal. Through Lucas we had been able to reach Daniel. Daniel had agreed to come, with Shane, immediately. Adam, Jack, and I were impatiently waiting for them to enter the territory. We managed to convince our women to sit this meeting out. With Sarah just coming off bedrest we did not want her to be compelled to use her powers. Josie was expecting our pup, and we did not want to give too much information about her or Sarah’s pregnancies. And finally, Jenna had quite literally just had Gracie. We would not risk the lives of our mates. Looking around the room, “Do we think this will work?” I ask Adam and Jack. Adam looks at both of us, “It has to work, or they will never stop until they have Josie,” he replies. Nodding our heads, “Miranda and Sarah are working on ways to access the data once Josie and Sarah have their pups,” Jack offers. “I ha

    Josie POV It had been a couple of days and we still had not heard back from the Council. It was uncertain whether they were seriously considering our offer, or they were planning an attack to acquire the information. Lucas had reached out to see how Daniel was during the visit. From what I heard he was very quiet and just listened to everyone. He and Shane were both very quiet. “Hey babe, want to go for a run?” Sam asks me. I look at him in surprise. “Really? You have not allowed me to go for a run in weeks,” I reply. “I know but I realize you will not have much longer that you can shift into your wolf. I want Chance to see Alexis before he cannot for a couple months,” Sam shares with me. He pulls me into his arms, “So what do you and Alexis think about that?” he asks nuzzling my neck. “Alexis and I would love that,” I reply giggling at his tickling my sensitive marking spot. Smacking my ass, Sam replies, “Great, let’s get going. I have a

    Sam POV “The worst was yet to come. What the fuck does that mean?” I ask everyone. “Maybe what Daniel told us was not accurate?” Josie asks. “I do not know but it sure would be nice to get through a week without some kind of threat,” Jack adds. Adam looks at us, “Is anyone going to update me on what you learned with the rogue?”. Realizing we had not even had a chance to share anything with Adam, “Well Josie realized that the Council is trying to set Daniel up,” I share. Adam looks to Josie, “Oh?”. “Well, it seemed odd to me that we had been attacked by rogues immediately after Daniel had given us his heads up,” Josie says as Adam nods. “Given that, I asked the rogue who sent him. At first, he said Daniel, but after pushing him, he advised us that it was actually Alpha Stevens who sent him. He also advised us that Alpha Stevens wants Daniel dead,” she offers as Adam quickly picks up the phone. “Alpha Lucas? We need to advise you of something

    Josie POV As we sat around the conference room table, I could not help but be overwhelmed with the power sitting at this table. Alpha Colby and Luna Kate, representing both the Golden Moon Pack and the Silver Crescent Pack, had fought their own battles with the Council over the years. Particularly around their niece, Amelie. Colby and Kate have two children of their own – Olivia and Oliver. And their adopted daughter, Colby’s niece Amelie. Amelie was poisoned by rogues when she was just six years old. She was given wolfsbane for an extended period of time. They are still unaware of the damage this may have caused Amelie and her wolf. She turns sixteen next month. The normal time an Alpha wolf will get her wolf. Turns out the Wolf Council has been following Amelie’s case quite closely. While they did nothing at the time of her poisoning to help her, they are curious to learn more about the extended uses of wolfsbane. They want to know what

    Miranda POV The more everyone kept Stevens on the line the more I could find a link to him. The link drew me to the place he was currently holed up. Shockingly he was at the Council’s offices. There was a location deep underground that he had taken over. While there were a limited number of wolves surrounding him inside the building, I could sense a significant number of rogues surrounding the Wolf Council. Without realizing it, everyone was helping me achieve my goal of finding Stevens. I could not pick up the vibe of Daniel but that did not mean he was not alive. It simply meant he could be unconscious. There was still hope that he was alive. He may have been tortured but Lucas would help Daniel heal from whatever he had been through. “What do you mean?” Kate asks equally excited. “The more you talked to Stevens, the more I could trace where he was located. I know where he is,” I say once again. “Where?” Lucas asks coldly. I hesitate.

    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.

    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

    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
