Cole POV I had watched Jessica struggling the past weeks. Dealing with training, pack attacks, and more. She was reaching a breaking point, and I did not know how to help her. With the return of her mother, I did not know how much more she could try and process. “The doctors will look after her,” I promised, as I scooped her mother up gently in my arms. She murmured in pain but seemed to have become accustomed to the discomfort. “I have got you,” I murmured softly, as her mother remained tense in my arms. “Jessica,” she rasped out. Jessica moved forward to stand beside us. “I am here,” she replied. “I am sorry,” she rasped, coughing and allowing us to hear a rattle in her chest. “We need to get her to the pack hospital,” I murmured to Jessica. Her mother’s body tensed in my arms, “No more tests,” she whined. I looked at her confused, while Jessica stepped closer to her. “They will make you
Jessica POV “What the hell are you doing here?” I demanded as I stared at the man in front of me. “You do not think I would miss the reunion, do you?” my father inquired with a smirk. “How did you get released?” I questioned, as I tried to calm my racing heart. I knew I was stronger now, but I also knew I could not stop the paralysis I felt in his presence. The memories of years of abuse were still top of mind. At any moment everything could be taken away from me. “It was a matter of being in the right place at the right time,” my father shared. “I doubt it was that; more like who did you bribe?” I questioned. He smiled at me; that sick twisted smile he always shared before he beat me or had someone do it for him. “I hear your talents have come through,” he commented, as he turned to walk further into the room. I cautiously took a step forward, scanning the room. I could see rogues surroundi
Jessica POV I knew we were taking a chance, but after a lengthy discussion with Carson and Marly, it was agreed we would move forward and go to the location my grandmother had drawn out for us. I looked to Cole as we prepared to leave the packhouse. “Last chance; you can totally back out,” I suggested to him. He looked at me incredulously. “Are you still trying to get rid of me?” he asked with a frown. “I am trying to protect you. To protect this pack. To protect everyone from what might be a set up,” I admitted. “I think we both can agree this is a set-up of some kind,” Cole commented as we excited the building. “What?” I asked, pausing my step. He stopped and turned to look at me, “We cannot trust anything your grandmother tells us. For all we know, your mother is not even alive,” Cole stated. I paused for a moment, processing his comment. “If she is not alive,” I started to say when he
Jessica POV We had made our way to the holding cells and had entered the building, hearing the screams of my grandmother’s outrage. As we approached her cell, she quieted down, watching as we opened the door and entered. The cell door slammed behind us, as we moved further into the room. “You have finally come to your senses,” my grandmother stated. “No, we have come for answers,” I replied, as she watched me from her seat across the table. She had been cuffed to the table so she could not move and anything she might have as powers or talents would be stifled. “What do you want to know? That your mother has been suffering while you have prioritized this pack?” she responded bitterly. “This pack is my family,” I stated. “Your family is being held hostage. Being tortured,” she conveyed. As if reminding me this was not my family. “Where is she?” I questioned. The woman sitting across from me
Jessica POV Having had enough of my grandmother, Cole had her taken to the holding cells. She screamed in outrage the entire way, but I did not care. She was a distraction that I did not need. “We need to discuss what we learned with Carson,” Cole said to me. I knew he was right. We needed to be prepared, and this was the first hint we had gotten as to why they were staggering their attacks. We entered the pack house and went directly to Carson’s office. Not surprisingly, Marly was already there with Everly in her stroller. “How is she?” I asked Marly, as we took our seats. Marly smiled, “She is great. It was a big adventure for her,” Marly shared. I smiled; Everly was adorable and I could only imagine what it would be like to have my own little piece of Cole and me. Whoa. Where did that thought come from, I wondered. “What the hell was that attack?” Carson questioned. I cleared my thro
Jessica POV There was chaos everywhere. The elderly, women and children were being rushed to the underground bunkers for safety. I could see something falling from the drones and as it hit their targets the wolves fell to the ground, pain evident in the screams. I raced to one who I saw down and felt the wound. It burned my skin, but Belle quickly healed me. “It is a temporary paralysis drug,” Belle conveyed to me. I sat back in shock, “What the hell are we fighting?” I questioned as I thought quickly about how to protect the pack members. I quick tossed up barriers between us and the drones. Some drones were captured between us and the barriers, so I immediately started taking them down with my ability to focus on the offending drones. “Cole, you need to focus on taking them down,” I yelled through our mind-link. Cole joining me in taking out the drones, was helping us protect the members a
Cole POV We had been moving from store to store, after I had gotten some clothes from Marly to lend to Jessica. Jessica had no idea what she wanted. It was clear she came from a life where little to no choices were made by her. “What color do you like?” I asked her, wanting to
Cole POVBefore I could say anything else, Marly was moving slowly down the steps. “What the hell are you doing Marly Michaels?” I heard Carson growl. “I could not wait any longer. I had to meet our Beta Female,” she said with a beaming smile. She was completely unaware of the exchange that had
Cole POV I could feel her distress through the door. She was thinking about rejecting me. I could not let that happen. I whipped the door open and pulled Jessica into my arms. “You are stuck with me,” I muttered before capturing her lips with my own. I could not get enough of
Cole POV It was her. My mate. Only she was not recognizing me or was ignoring the fact that I was her fated mate. I watched as she got closer to me and could not help but exclaim “Mate!”. I stepped forward but her father stepped between us. “That is not possible,” Alpha Mathe
