Sam POV We walk down the hall toward the meeting room. Adam asks Miranda and Rick if they would like anything before we start the meeting. Neither require anything so we get situated and Miranda gets right down to business. “First, I want to say again, I adored your parents, Alpha Adam,” she says. “Please call me Adam, and this is my Beta, Sam, and thank you for the kind words about my parents. They are greatly missed,” Adam replies. “Great, Adam and Sam, it is nice to meet you both although I suspect you would prefer this meeting under better circumstances,” Miranda says politely. Nodding Adam agrees, “Yes we seem to be under some sort of spell or spells and are wanting to know what we might do about it,” Adam says. “I can definitely feel some negative energy at play here. Before we get too involved, I do want to share with you, my background. Originally, I was a witch who worked with the Wiccan Council. I did that for many years before

Sarah POV This stranger was hugging me, but it felt completely natural. “I cannot believe there is someone else,” the woman called Miranda says. I only know her name because Jack provided it to me as we were on our way down to meet her and her mate. I did not recognize the man and felt a little nervous with him being here. I was still getting comfortable being around Adam and Sam, although dinner last night had helped immensely. Stepping back, Miranda gives me some breathing space but continues to hold my hand. “This is Rick, my mate,” she says pointing out the man I do not recognize. I point to Jack, “This is my mate, Jack,” I say shyly. It was hard to think of myself having a mate. I saw the pleasure on Jack’s face, so that made my discomfort worth it. Before I could catch my breath, Miranda jumps into questions for me. “How long have you been a hybrid? What are your powers? What is your favourite trick that you like to do?” and the l

Sam POV I feel my insides churn as I get closer to the dungeons. I can feel the tension around me as Adam, Jack and Sarah walk with me. We had agreed Sarah would come with me to the cell, but Jack was not happy with that plan. He wanted to keep her close to him. He never trusted Lana and we still did not know what she was capable of. Stopping at the door I turn back to look at Sarah. “Are you ready?” I ask her to give her a chance to change her mind. Nodding quickly, “I am ready,” she replies before she looks to Jack. While he does not want to let her go, he also does not want her to doubt herself. “You got this sweetheart,” he says softly to her before kissing her on the forehead. “We will not be long,” I promise both Adam and Jack. Opening the door, I lead the way down to the cell where I know they are holding Lana. It is the same cell they held the Rogue King in before he was killed by Jenna. As I move closer to the cell, I hear Lana

Sam POV Just one more click and the cell will be open. I feel sweat on my brow as I fight the urge to be with Lana. She continues tempting me, “Come on sweet Sam, just one more click,” she says. I have a sense that moving forward will somehow help her. I bend over feeling pain go through my body. I am fighting what feels natural. I fall to my knee as I continue to fight the need to open the cell door. “Dammit Sam, open the fucking door,” she rages. This is the final piece that I needed to fight her. It pulls me out of the trance I was in. I slowly stay where I am breathing through the pain. I know I can fight this. “Sam?” Lana asks. I feel my body start to shake as laughter takes over my body. Lana smiles, misunderstanding my gesture. “Come to me, Sam,” she says with a big smile. I stand confidently, still feeling lingering effects of the pain that just coursed through my body. Slamming the door shut, Lana looks confused. “I do no

Jack POV “Sweet Moon Goddess I will not get used to that,” I say as I grab my chest. She just pops in all stealth. She would be a good weapon to have. And then I realize we may have that in Sarah, but there is no way in hell I will allow her to fight or be anywhere that I cannot protect her. “Why could you not wait twelve hours?” Miranda yells at all of us. Jenna is looking amused at the petite woman, as Adam, Sam, and I look somewhat guilty. Sarah does not seem remotely bothered by the little spitfire. And I noticed Miranda came on her own. “How did you know?” I ask her confused how she arrived so quickly. “I was on my way back to put a protection spell over you, but of course you just had to tempt fate!” she continues on her rant as she paces the floor. “And why would you approach the woman knowing she was playing with evil?!?” Miranda demands of us. She stops in the middle of the floor, “Well … somebody speak, or I will leave and not r
The Beta's Mate Chapter 48
Sarah POV I knew everyone was tense as we all went our separate ways. Well except for Josie who joined us as she was staying on the Gamma’s floor. Not that I minded. It was nice knowing someone else was on the floor with us. Not sure why that mattered to me, but it did. Jack took my hand as we led the way to our floor. I chuckled internally already thinking of it as mine. Jack would be pleased but I was not ready for him to know the way I was thinking. We walked in the opposite direction of our rooms and led Josie to her suite. Jack opened the door with a swipe key and then passed it to Josie. This would be her room. Josie walked in and gasped as she took in the room. It was designed in neutral beiges that gave the room an instant warm and welcoming feeling when you waked in. I moved behind Josie taking her hand wanting to show her around. She squeezed mine as she let me lead her to the various rooms. The walk-in closet, which I suspe

Sam POV I did not know what drew me to Josie’s room but one minute I was on my way to my own rooms and suddenly I found myself at Josie’s door. I had waited for Jenna and Adam to leave her room. I was glad they were making her feel welcome. She deserved that after having gone through the ordeal with Tim. It still pissed me off that he had gotten away the day we had rescued Josie. And he was now squirrelled away somewhere. The chicken shit that he was. What kind of Rogue King hides away when he should be the most feared? Clearly, he was not, and he needed Josie to complete that legacy. Well, he would not get her as long as I was alive. I knock on her door wondering if she had already gone to bed. Second guessing my attempt to talk to her I start to turn away when the door suddenly opens. “What did you forget?” she asks assuming I was Jenna and Adam. She then turns to me, and I am caught by her natural beauty. The moment I me

Josie POV The moment Sam’s lips touched mine, I felt a spark I did not expect to feel. And then the next moment Sam was grabbing his head in pain. I stood up uncertain of what to do. “Should I call the Pack doctor?” I ask but I do not believe Sam can even hear me through the pain. Since I cannot mind-link anyone I grab my cell phone and call Jenna asking her to come immediately. I hang up the phone and try to touch Sam on the shoulder, but it only brings him more pain. The door to my suite is opened, with Jenna and Adam racing in. Adam was in a pair of sweats and Jenna had on leggings and a tank top. “What is wrong?” Adam asks as he looks around the room trying to locate a threat. I point to Sam with my throat tightened from trying not to cry. I had caused this pain. Rather the spells had but I could not help but feel responsible. Jenna takes a step towards Sam, but Adam stops her moving to stand in front of her. Jenna sigh

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,

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
