Sam POV Spending the night just holding Josie in my arms was incredible. I did not know what the future held but I would fight for having her in my arms every night. When we woke, she was shy, but I simply held her longer and she fell back asleep. Knowing I had an early morning with Miranda, I left her shortly after she fell back asleep sad to leave her. I was walking out of Josie’s room when I saw Jack sneaking out of his room. We looked at one another and smiled. “Who would have thought we would be sneaking out of rooms together?” I teased him. “I am not sneaking out, I am going to get food for my Queen,” Jack says excitedly. I happen to notice he is sporting a new mark this morning. I feel a twinge of jealousy but quickly let it go. I was happy for Jack and Sarah. “So, you both decided to take the plunge?” I ask as we walk down the steps together. “Sure did,” Jack replies smugly. “I think I am the luckiest guy alive, Sam,” Jack adds

Sam POV Pulling my chair around my desk again, I wait for Miranda and Sarah to determine where they wanted to sit. Rick took the couch toward the door of my office. Miranda and Sarah sat in the chairs in front of me. I took my seat feeling a little anxious at how things would go today. Yesterday had been rough, I did not know what to expect today. Miranda put her hand on my knee, “Just relax Sam. Today will be a bit more challenging as we get further into the webs of the spell,” she says to me. “Great,” I say with less humour than I had intended to share. Clearing her throat, Sarah says, “Thank you for letting me sit in on this, Sam.”. “No problem, Sarah; I am being a little selfish. I am counting on you learning fast so you can help protect the Pack and yourself,” I say with a chuckle. She smiles understanding that part of my reply is shrouded in my nerves. “Alright, Sarah you need to take a few deep breaths. You will not be able to s

Josie POV Startled I pulled back only to feel instant regret. I did not want to cause Sam more pain, but I slowly realize he is smiling at me. And he did not grab his head in agony as he did last time. I slowly smile back at him; suddenly hyper aware we have an audience. Breaking my stare with Sam, I look around the room at everyone with a glare. Miranda is smiling. Rick is more pensive of the situation. Jack and Sarah are smiling like idiots. I shake my head as I consider what this could mean. I knew I had to still have the spell removed from me or whatever was going on, but did this mean we had a chance? I look back at Sam who is still smiling at me as he nods, “Yes, we might have a chance.”. I was embarrassed, I had not realized I had said the last part out loud. Standing, I realized I need air. I had never been given a chance before – I felt like I was starting to hyperventilate. “I need to go,” I say to everyone who looked at me c

Sam POV I had awoken to Josie being gone. She must have gotten up a while ago as her side of the bed was cold. Looking at the clock I realize that Elder Morris should be arriving within the hour. I was not sure how he would arrive – either the normal way or Miranda’s way. Stopping in the washroom, I quickly head down to the dining hall. I suspected that is where I would find Josie. As I walk through the door, I see her look up and I see a glimmer of a smile from her. I know she still is not overly trusting of anyone, but she is worth the effort to me. I walk over and brush a kiss on the top of her head before I sit down. Reaching under the table, I squeeze her knee and smile at her before I start to put food on my plate. I can tell I have startled her, but I welcome the chance to keep her on her toes. She settles in beside me and continues to eat while I start eating. I look over at Jenna and Adam who are both grinning at me. I am sure my face went a little re
The Beta's Mate Chapter 61
Josie POV My heart sinks when Elder Morris says one of us has to die to determine if we can get a second chance. I knew what he meant. We would die and then when we came back, assuming we came back, we would be able to determine if we were second chance mates. I hated to think of a life without Sam and I hate myself for rejecting him in the first place. I hear the chatter around me, but I am consumed in my thoughts. Something occurs to me, “What about the spells?” I say quietly. “What spells?” Elder Morris asks. “We are both affected by spells. Sam’s is removed but I still have a spell wrapped around me; or rather I hope it is a spell,” I say looking to Miranda. Miranda nods, “You do. It is a complex one and one I will work on with Sarah to break down,” she replies. “Hmmm. Well, we have never encountered two wolfs affected by spells before. Maybe, just maybe, the Moon Goddess will give you a break,” Elder Morris muses as he considers th

Miranda POV “Again Sarah,” I demand of her. She is getting tired, but she needs to be focused and strong by the time I leave in a few days. I have to get home to my own pup. I miss him terribly when I am away. I do not go very often but when I do, I am increasingly homesick. Fortunately, Alpha Jared allows Rick to travel with me when I am on a special case. Rick is Beta of the Black Shadow Pack and has his own duties to attend to. In this case, it is definitely special. But Sarah is up to the demands that will be placed on her. I have woven intricate spells that are signatures of some of the greatest and strongest witches and warlocks. Having worked for the Witches Council at a young age, I have first-hand experience with some of the best and the worst our species has to offer. More so the worst, I contemplate as I consider the years I have put into fighting against evil. Sarah is getting faster at unthreading spells and even faster at setting them
The Beta's Mate Chapter 63
Josie POV I had no idea what to wear. Everything I had was jeans, tank tops and leather jackets. I felt like this date I should try to be a little different. Not that Sam would care one way or the other. I understood he likes me just the way I am. Sounds corny but it means the world to me. Nobody has ever cared about me and now I have two people who care. Sam and Jenna. Jenna was a surprise. I admit I still had my days of bitterness that she had our mother, and I did not. But then I would remind myself of the circumstances that surrounded my mother giving birth to Eric and me. In her shoes, I suspect I would have felt the same and wanted nothing to do with the offspring of that monster, my father. Deciding to ask Jenna for some help, I stop by her office and knock on the door. She calls me to come in and I walk in to see her and Sarah sitting there talking. Both quietened down when I walked in. “I am sorry, I will come back later,”

Josie POV That was my uncle. How was this possible? I vaguely remembered meeting him when I was much younger. But I had not known he had wiccan powers. I cannot remember how or why he even still exists. “How is it possible he is your uncle, Josie?” Adam asks once we are in the SUV and on our way back to the Pack house. He had mind-linked ahead advising Sam and Jack of our encounter. We are all meeting at the Pack house as soon as we return. “I do not know. I simply remember meeting him once when I was much younger. He was introduced to me as my uncle, but I was never given his name,” I say to Adam distracted by the appearance of the man. “He definitely looks like your father, but why did he show up in public in front of all of us?” Adam asks. “I do not know. Sarah, do you have any idea why he would show up like that?” I ask her. She looks at me, “No, I have no idea. Unless Miranda is too strong for him and that is why he has not shown

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

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
