Josie POV Sitting there trying to quell the nerves in my stomach, I sit back as the omega pushes the food to me. I look at her with a frown and shake my head no. “You have to,” she whispers. “Why?” I ask confused as to why she would care. “If you do not eat, he will punish me,” she continues to whisper. Looking at her I simply sit in shock. What has he come to? Tim was never this way before. He tried to be intimidating at times, but overall, he was always a happy go lucky kind of guy. I remember when he had found his mate. He was completely in awe of her; however, she quickly told him she had other plans. Wendy had been his mate. But she was involved with my brother at the time. She wanted power and Eric had it as the Rogue King. Tim took a backseat but never gave up hope she would eventually accept him. She tried to reject him, but he refused the rejection. He would have suffered with her having affairs with other men. Particularly

Sam POV We had been running in our wolf forms for what seemed like longer than a couple hours. The terrain was rough. I could not imagine them carrying Josie all this way to secure her away from being found. There must be a road access that was not shown on the maps I had researched. We were almost to the location I hoped to find Josie at. I felt more anxious the closer we got to the site. I did not know why. I never faltered when it came to combat. I embraced it and excelled at it. I toyed with the idea of sharing the concern I had about Lana injecting me with something; however, every time I went to share the information with Jack and Adam, I was met with resistance. Like something invisible was holding me back from releasing the words and concerns I had from my conscious mind. I started to wonder if there was not a spell or some type of command that was released when it entered my body. I was getting angrier at the thought of being co
The Beta's Mate Chapter 31
Sam POV I was broken for Jack. His mate, Sarah, was passed out in his arms. And he could do little to help her. The only thing that might help is with the bond between mates he can take some of her pain away or lessen some of the pain Sarah was experiencing. But we needed to get her help right away. I mind-link the warrior I sent out to try and find a vehicle, he replies quickly that he found a few SUVs with keys in them. “Jack, we need to get her to Jenna,” I say to him as I try to help him up. “I can hold her until you are standing,” I offer but he growls at me. Wolves were possessive of their mates and finding his mate in this condition would increase his natural instincts to protect his mate from further harm. Adam and I move behind Jack and put our arms through his arms pulling him into a standing position. He did not release Sarah from his arms. Josie had run to the room she had stayed in and grabbed a blanket so it could be wrapp
The Beta's Mate Chapter 32
Jack POV Listening to Josie share the limited information she knew about Sarah caused me to feel rage inside. I was sure her and Jenna could tell I was getting angrier. I wanted to remain calm for my mate but knowing what she endured was killing me. As we stood there, I noticed Josie had gone silent and started to sway beside me. I quickly realized she was going to pass out. Reaching out I grab Josie before she hits the ground. I swing her up into my arms as Jenna calls for a nurse to come and take Josie to another room. I could not leave Sarah so I mind-linked both Sam and Adam. Sam was back while Adam had left to deal with a Pack issue. I called him into the room passing Josie over to him. He looked reluctant to take her, but I did not care. I had my mate to worry about right now. The nurse led them away to another room as I turned back to see Jenna starting to remove the clothes from Sarah’s small body. “You should not be here, Jack,
The Beta's Mate Chapter 33
Sam POV It bothered me that I could not be honest with everybody. I had tried to speak to Josie, but again I was blocked from speaking. As I walk out of Josie’s room, I see Adam standing outside the room Jenna is in. “Any word on Sarah?” I ask Adam. He shakes his head, “No, only that she has been abused and will take time to heal,” Adam says. “Is she going to heal on her own, or is Jenna going to try and help that?” I ask him. I know he will be anxious. Nobody knows what healing will do to the pup Jenna is carrying. “She is waiting to tell me what she plans to do for her physical body, but she does not know what she can do for the mental scars that Sarah has suffered,” Adam replies. “I have our head warriors working on tracking Tim. Jack is losing his mind knowing Tim is still alive,” Adam adds. I feel a sense of guilt, “I am sorry I was not able to stop him,” I say to Adam shaking my head. Adam looks at me, “I know you tried your best,
The Beta's Mate Chapter 34
Sarah POV I had not expected to wake this quickly. I knew it had not been long since I had been captured. I simply wished I was still asleep so I could avoid the awkwardness that surrounds me in this moment. I wanted my brother. He was safe. I could rely on him. I needed to get word to him that I was alive. “Do you want some water?” the man asks me. I nod my head. He passes me a glass with a straw. I take a long sip of the cold water. It soothes my sore throat. He takes it away from me, “Better take it easy. Drinking too much could make you sick,” he says as he places the glass back on the table beside the bed. He did not say mate back to me. Is he already planning on rejecting me? I would accept the rejection. He deserved a mate that would be able to trust and embrace him. Right now, I could not begin to trust anyone. I had secrets that could destroy me if people learned about them. As it was, I was almost destroyed because the R

Josie POV I laid there after Sam left choking back the tears that threatened to fall. I refused to waste tears on him. He clearly had not wasted any on me. I hated how this hurt. It was easier when I always felt pain, then this would not have seemed different and perhaps would have been less noticeable. I dozed off and on until Doctor Rivers returned to see me. “How are you feeling Josie?” he asks me gently. The way I imagine a caring father would ask his child how they are. “I feel fine now that I am away from that bastard,” I reply honestly. He nods his head. “You are dehydrated but I am happy to advise you have no side effects from the wolfsbane he injected into you. I want to keep you here for another day so I can continue your IV treatment,” he shares with me. I am relieved to hear that news but have a question for him, “If that is the case, why have I not heard from Alexis, my wolf?” I ask him cautiously. Doctor Rivers looks at me
The Beta's Mate Chapter 36
Josie POV I wanted that bastard to come after me. I wanted to destroy him. For what he did to everyone, including Sarah. I knew she was important, and I am glad she turned out to be Jack’s mate. I only wished I had been able to do more to help her. Getting revenge for her and Jack will be a gift from me to them. “What else happened?” Jenna asks me. “When I was being taken to him at the altar, I was sprayed with something; it affected Alexis, my wolf,” I share with her. “Sprayed?” she repeats. “Yes, Doctor Rivers is testing my blood now; he suspects he knows what it is. But he is concerned,” I share with her. “He should be, if it is what he thinks it is, it can have an impact on who you and your wolf think is your mate,” Jenna says. She looks scared. “Do you feel anything for Tim?” she asks me. I look at her bewildered by her question. “Absolutely not, why would you ask me such a thing?!?” I demand. “Because it is a subtle

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
The Beta's Mate Chapter 155
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,
The Beta's Mate Chapter 154
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
The Beta's Mate Chapter 151
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
The Beta's Mate Chapter 148
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
