The Beta's Mate Chapter 78
Alpha Lucas The pain is gut wrenching. I cannot believe I am free of the dungeons. I expect to wake up and this all be a dream. I had lost full connection with my wolf, Ashton, at some point during my rescue. I could feel him at the furthest point of my mind and prayed to the Moon Goddess he would hold on. Taking a deep breath, I open my eyes and turn my head slowly. It is not a dream. I see my beautiful sister Sarah; although she is with a man I barely recognize. He was familiar but I could not remember why. Suddenly they both look at me and are surprised to see my eyes open. Remembering the mind-link call that the pups had been returned is what originally pulled me from my healing slumber, “Are they okay?” I ask hoarsely. My throat was sore and scratchy. Sarah jumped up reaching for a glass of water with a straw in it. She gave me a couple sips before pulling it away from me. I growl softly, but she replies, “Too much will make you s

Sam POV I have my arm tossed around Josie’s waist as she lays naked on the bed face down. I find her sleep patterns cute to observe. She usually starts off in my arms but eventually pushes out of them to lay on her front dragging my arm around her. She always wants to be touching me, which is one of the many things I love about her. Jack had advised me that Alpha Lucas had woken up last night briefly but was resting again. We would check in first thing this morning with them to see what he knew or remembered. Josie started to stir, and I leaned forward kissing her back. She moans and pushes back into my arms. I wrap my arms around her body and hold her tightly to me. “Good morning baby,” I murmur in her ear. She semi growls as I have learned she is not a morning person willingly. She will get up and go but her first choice is to stay in bed longer. And I admit I quite enjoy that little trait she has. But for now, we are both

Josie POV I was anxious now that Miranda was finally here. I wondered what she could tell me since I had seen her last. Moving forward, Miranda surprised me by hugging me. “Let’s stay positive, Josie; I have a better understanding of what we are up against. My goal today is to break any ties that exist between you and Tim,” she says with the voice of someone making a promise. I felt a little ray of hope cross over me as I embraced the woman tighter in my arms. I had never been one to hug, but since meeting these people I understood what it meant to draw on one another’s strength through connection. Stepping back, Miranda says, “Now let’s go get you unconnected,” she says taking my hand with a smile. I look at Sam and see the big smile he is sporting. I smile back at him hoping we will both still be smiling at the end of the day. “I currently have a spell on Tim, so he cannot communicate with anyone outside,” Sarah offers to Miranda. “That

Josie POV I chew my bottom lip as I watch Miranda’s eyes glaze over. Sarah is standing guard of Tim to ensure nothing happens to the spell she has on him. Miranda looks intense as I stand there feeling helpless as I can do nothing but watch. I feel arms wrap around my waist, “What did we miss?” Sam asks quietly. “So far, Tim and I are attached at the heart. It is going to be tough to remove, I may pass out,” I murmur to him not wanting to tell him the full truth. I feel him tense beside me, “This is not worth it Josie,” he whispers, “We will figure something out,” he adds. “It is the only way, Sam; I need to be rid of him once and for all,” I reply. Rick looks at both of us. “She knows what she is doing and if she says she can do it, she can do it,” he offers to us both. Nodding, I lean back into Sam’s arms and wait. I see Miranda starting to sway. Rick moves closer to her wrapping his arms around her waist. Sam asks Jack to get a coupl
The Beta's Mate Chapter 82
Sarah POV We were at a tense point in trying to remove the last cords. They were so tightly twined we were desperately trying to undo them. Before we could cut the cord, we had to make sure it was the one connecting both of them. If we cut them prematurely, we could in fact tie them together for life even stronger than they felt now. I glanced up and saw the entity cutting through our barrier quite quickly. I threw up another barrier but heard the laughter come from the bitch. “You cannot keep up with me, little witch,” she spews. Both Miranda and I are shocked that we hear the female come through to us. Miranda looks more intensely toward the entity and releases the cords to fight the female. They embark on a firestorm between one another. I watch them both leave Tim’s body. I jump out of Tim’s body as well, ensuring I keep the barrier spell on him tightly in the event something happens. I watch the two women, now fighting e

Josie POV I felt myself fall into Sam’s arms, but the pain was all I could think about and feel. My heart was being ripped from my chest. I felt Sam scream at me to hold on, and then he was running with me in his arms. I heard the yells for the doctor, but I was not able to communicate with Sam. I felt a similar cut inside me as I did when Sam and I rejected one another. That intense pain that takes your breath away. That makes you feel like all hope is lost. I feel myself being put on a gurney and being wheeled away. Stay with me Sam, I am scared is all I can think as I am moved into an examination room. I feel my eyes slowly open as I look around. The doctor happens to glance at me and tells me, “Hold on Josie,” as she is trying to hook tubes up to me. I feel the stabbing pain in my heart again – like it would explode from my chest and then everything goes black. I feel a zap in my chest and suddenly my eyes are opened again.
The Beta's Mate Chapter 84
Josie POV I hear someone ask me to open my eyes. I try but it is hard to do so. Suddenly they fly open, and I look at the most beautiful man in confusion. I could smell his scent, chocolate, and coffee. Was this a joke? Was the Moon Goddess teasing me? I knew what Sam smelled like and this was not it. But he looked like Sam. Was Tim disguised as him? I groan looking away, “This cannot be,” I mutter. The man touches me, and I feel the sparks. I move my arm away afraid of being swept away on a tide of emotion. “Josie, baby, look at me,” the man says softly. I cannot do it. I want so desperately to see Sam in front of me, yet I know this is a cruel joke. I feel tears start to roll down my cheeks, “I am sorry Josie. I had to mark you to save you,” he says. I look at him in disgust, “What?” I mumble out. I was marked by this stranger. “Why?” I ask. “To save you,” he says in frustration. “I did not want to be saved by you,” I say. “T
The Beta's Mate Chapter 85
Sam POV The last place I wanted to be was the dungeons with Matt … the Wolf Council … or even Jack for that matter. But I knew Adam would expect me to be here and he would also expect me to keep Jack out of too much trouble. I had greeted the Wolf Council members when they arrived at the Pack house. There were three senior wolves designated to pick up Matt, but we wanted answers first. We wanted to know what he knew that might help us with our own situation. And we wanted to know why Matt had free reigns to leave Sarah, and in turn Josie, in the cells. Sarah to be tortured and Josie to be married off to the Rogue King. After they agreed to our terms, we all walked towards the dungeon. Alpha Lucas also joined us. He wanted to know if Matt had any intel on Lana. He also wanted a piece of Matt for leaving his sister to be tortured for a month. Sarah remembers Matt. She does not remember him abusing her, but she remembe

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
