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

Josie POV The moment I saw Sam, I felt the butterflies in my stomach dancing around. He is simply gorgeous. I cannot take my eyes off him. He leans forward and captures my lips in a gentle kiss. He pulls back and smiles at me. “You look amazing, babe,” he says before leaning into whisper in my ear, “I cannot wait to see what is underneath that beautiful dress,” he says as he pulls me closer to his body. I am pretty sure my heart just skipped a beat. The promises of what was to come this evening. Taking my hand, Sam pulls me from my suite and closes the door behind me. “Oh, I forgot my bag,” I start to say when he chuckles, “Anything you need, you can use mine,” he says confidently. “Where are we going?” I ask as he walks me toward the stairs. “You will see,” he says as he starts to go upstairs. “Are we skipping the date?” I ask with a bit of nerves still rolling around inside. I was pretty confident earlier today but now that the moment
The Beta's Mate Chapter 66
Josie POV Sam was still inside me. We were both enjoying the aftershocks of our orgasms. “That was incredible,” Sam teases me. I smile feeling a little self-conscious. I did not expect to be so vocal, but the man brought out a side of me I cannot say I am sorry about. “It was amazing,” I reply softly. Sam leans forward into my neck smelling me. He is nuzzling my marking spot. It is an intoxicating feeling and one of the most sensitive areas on a wolf. As I am lost in the moment, I suddenly feel teeth against my skin. They are starting to pierce my flesh when I yell “No!” and push Sam off me. I feel the loss of him immediately, but my heart is beating rapidly. “What were you doing?” I cry out confused at his actions. I look over to Sam. He is laying on his back with his arm over his eyes. He is breathing heavily and just trying to compose himself. I want him to mark me but not like this. “I want you Josie,” he says quietl
The Beta's Mate Chapter 67
Sam POV After a night of making up, Josie and finally settled with me wrapped around her warm body. I was tracing the lines of one of the many scars across her body. “Are you going to tell me about these?” I ask her softly kissing her shoulder where one was. “Does it matter?” she asks. “Everything about you matters to me, baby,” I reply. I know Josie is a very private person and I knew she was self-conscious of everything about herself. I saw them when she was first naked, but I did not want her to doubt her sexuality or attractiveness to me. Now, though, I wanted to understand. I suspected they came from her bastard of a father, but I needed her to say it to me. To trust me. I wait patiently as I hold her in my arms. At one point I thought she must have fallen asleep, but she cleared her throat and began telling me the story of her father. “When I was three, I had run into a meeting the Rogue King was hosting. I was excited to show him
The Beta's Mate Chapter 68
Sarah POV I had been wishing there was more that I could do to help Miranda, and in turn Josie. Josie had saved my life in that dungeon. If she had not been there, I am not certain I would have survived. I was currently practicing with the elite team of warriors who were made aware of my powers. They were skeptical at first of my abilities until I toppled them all on their asses repeatedly until they burst out laughing and waved the proverbial white flag. Today we were practicing me setting up barriers and for them to be able to be ready to go the moment I release the barrier. This is a delicate process. They have to wait for a signal, that we have all agreed to, from me to indicate the shield is down. Many have jumped the gun and been tossed on their asses. After it happens once, it does not happen again I think with a chuckle. We have all grown to be more in tune with our timing and perfecting our responses to one another.
The Beta's Mate Chapter 69
Sarah POV I sat there looking at Jack. He was my future. He was my everything. But my brother mattered to me. I could not sit there and deny that holding my brother and removing his pain was tempting to me. I had been where he was. I had been abused and expected death. Was that what he was thinking? That he would die any day. Tears formed in my eyes, and I saw Jack shake his head. I could feel his fear vibrating off him. I continued to look at Jack as I whispered, “No.”. “No?” the warlock stated as if he was not sure who I was speaking with. “No; I am not coming with you,” I said louder to him. I kept my eyes on Jack’s face. I saw his shoulders sag in relief and then he pulled me tightly into his arms. “I am sorry to hear that,” the warlock says. “He will have to be punished until I can punish you myself,” he says. “Give him a message from me – tell him I am coming for him,” I say looking deep into the eyes of the warlock.
The Beta's Mate Chapter 70
Sam POV Looks like Jack had the same idea. Sarah was sitting with him on the couch, leaving the chairs in front of Adam’s desk for Josie and me. I was holding Josie’s hand and pulled her chair closer to mine so I could still touch her. Jenna was sitting with Adam in his lap. “I called the Beta of the Harvest Moon Pack. Alpha Lucas has been missing for a month and Lana has not been seen since we captured her. The Pack is falling apart, and they are asking for our help,” Adam says. “Why didn’t they call sooner?” I ask concerned with their sudden desire for help only after we called. “I asked that. The answer I received indicates they did not know who to turn to as they did not want to appear weak in front of their allies,” Adam replies. Nodding, “I can see that but to be without your Alpha for over a month. That sounds fishy,” Jack adds. I agree with him. It is too coincidental. Sarah clears her throat, “The Beta has always challenged Luc

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
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
