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

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

Sam POV This was a waste of fucking time. I expected the Council would come in and leave with Matt after Jack got a couple punches in. Instead, they were fucking around with Josie being here. I had no way to connect with her to prepare her ahead of time for the impromptu visit. Although I had marked her, we both needed to mark one another to open the line of communication. I walked ahead of the Council members hoping to get to see Josie first. Jack was keeping them talking about what would happen with Matt. Alpha Lucas was silent, but I could tell was getting ready to exert his own power. “I want to remind you gentlemen; you are here at my discretion. You are here to pick up a prisoner, not to wreak more havoc on a Pack who has suffered enough,” he states to the three men. “We realize that Alpha Lucas and we appreciate your support. We are trying to get to the bottom of things and want to rule out the potential threat Josie presents,” the

Josie POV Sam’s kiss took away any last-minute doubts that were lingering in my mind about us being able to be together. Slowly ending the kiss, “Are you ready to break out of here?” he asks me with his nose in my neck smelling me. I smile slowly, “I was ready the minute I woke up and smelled you, mate,” I reply running my fingers through his hair. Sam stands up, pulling the sheets back and exposing my legs. I was still only wearing a johnny shirt and realized I had no clothes to wear over to the Pack house. “Well?” Sam asks smirking. “A little problem here,” I answer gesturing to my lack of clothes. “I think what you have on is perfect,” he replies, “But I agree it does not mean I want everyone else to see you,” he murmurs as he walks out of the room. He returns quickly with a pair of scrubs. Smiling I snag them from him before walking into the washroom. “Hey, I was ready for a show,” Sam whines as I walk away giving him a glimpse of my a
The Beta's Mate Chapter 88
Sam POV Josie was holding my hand tightly and tugging me behind her. I enjoyed the teasing the group sent our way as we left hastily. I could not imagine anywhere else I would want to be. As we left the dungeon Josie breathed a deep sigh of relief. Pulling her back into my arms, “Are you okay?” I ask her. “I will be. I just want to get away from here. I have spent too much time in the dungeons, and it reminds me of the mistakes I made before. I do not want to make any mistakes this time, Sam,” Josie says to me. I pull her into my arms, “We got this baby,” I promise her as she leans in a little closer. I remembered a time not long ago when Josie would not accept any kind of friendship or anything from anyone. Now she is embracing all the familial things she can get her hands on. From her friendship with Sarah and Jack, to her sister Jenna and brother-in-law Adam, now to Miranda and Rick, and finally me. She is embracing all aspects of wh

Sam POV Before I open my eyes, I am smiling. I feel Josie in my arms and hear her breathing steadily beside me. Everything is more heightened now. Her scent is stronger and is combined with my own. The love I feel in my heart feels like my heart might explode. We took the long way around, but we got here. I move closer to Josie rubbing my cock against her backside. I can sense the moment she awakens. Moaning, “It is too early; go back to sleep,” she murmurs in her sleep. “Oh, baby it is more like it is really late,” I say to her looking outside and seeing the darkened skies. We had been going at it for hours and had just lapsed into an exhausted sleep. “Well then go back to sleep,” she says as she pushes her ass into me. “No can do, I need sustenance,” I say to her as I throw back the blankets and get out of bed. I move over to the walk-in closet and pull on a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt. Snagging one of my t-shirts for Jos
The Beta's Mate Chapter 90
Josie POV My heart stopped beating for a full minute. I had just watched the love of my life disappear with his crazy assed ex. I needed to breathe. I needed to get to him before she got her claws into him … literally. Gasping I catch my breath as Jack reaches for me bending me down at the waist so I could try and simple breathe. My hands on my knees supported me as I felt the life rush back into my body. Alpha Lucas was hovering beside me but did not touch me. I appreciated that. I was barely tolerating Jack’s touch and that was because he was simply because he was a close friend. Suddenly Sarah appeared in front of me. She had bent down so she could see my eyes. “He is gone, Sarah; he is gone,” I keep muttering to her. She pulls me back up and hugs me tightly in her arms, “We will get him back, Josie, I promise,” she says. I see Jack look at her knowing full well no promises could be made at this stage. I knew I would not survive wi
The Beta's Mate Chapter 91
Sam POV I spit as Lana’s lips left mine. I was disgusted that she had tried to kiss me. She laughed as she moved back, “It will not be long Sam and you will be wanting my kisses. You will crave my kisses,” Lana says to me as she walks across the room to look at something I cannot see. As she turns, she has what looks like a vial of liquid. “You see this sweet Sam? This is the potion I need to inject in you to reverse your bond with that bitch,” she says to me. I feel a cold sweat break out over my body. Once a mate was bonded, it would feel like death if the bond was broken. I did not know how it would impact me, but I damn well knew how it would impact Josie. I said nothing to Lana. I would give her no indication I was bothered or concerned with her threat. I tried to shift my arms in the restraints but had no success. I had not been injected with anything so I could feel Chance my wolf. He was equally pissed off. We knew our capture

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

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
