Jessica POV We had been practicing everything for a few days and had not seen or heard anything from Elder Susan. I was both relieved and anxious. Relieved to not have to deal with her, but anxious wondering what she would do next to test me. “Again, Jessica,” I heard Cole call out. I shook my head and refocused. I would start shifting with the next training programs. The warriors were taking turns. The more we fought the stronger I was getting. And it was agreed that I could not hold back as we needed to know how strong I really was. I had also not found any new powers. That was also concerning me. How do I know how to fight if I do not know what powers I will have. Marly had been researching the white wolf as well in our history books. She had some things to share after training today. I was looking forward to seeing her and Everly, as my time with them had been limited the past couple weeks of training.
Cole POV We had spent most of the night waiting for news on the injured warriors. They had spent most of the night in surgery and it was only early morning that we learned they would make a full recovery after some time in physiotherapy. I knew Jessica was relieved, as we all were. It still bothered me that Elder Susan had done something this reckless. Carson and I were speaking in the hall, while Jessica visited with the partners of the injured warriors. “This is getting out of hand,” Carson commented quietly. “I do not understand why she thought this was a good idea,” I agreed. “Unfortunately, we need to cut her loose. We cannot have her here training with our warriors and Jessica. I no longer trust her,” Carson admitted. I paused for a moment, “I know Elder Susan is Jessica’s grandmother, but I believe Jessica will also agree Susan has overstayed her welcome,” I confirmed. “I do agree.
Jessica POV I had enjoyed the evening. Dancing with Cole for the first time. He held me in his arms and guided me, so I did not look like a complete fool. I was overwhelmed with the acceptance of the pack members. Many had come forward welcoming me, hugging me and showing me a side of people I had never experienced before. When the night was coming to an end, Cole suggested we retire to our room. I was ready for some alone time with my mate, when a frantic call came through the pack mind-link. “Rogues on the south side, rogues on the south side!” came the frantic call. I immediately turned and raced to the border with Cole by my side. As we approached the forest, we both shifted. I had a moment of sadness for the beautiful gown I had worn this evening, but I had more important things to focus on. “We can always get you a new dress, sweetheart,” Cole said through our mind-link. I sent him a
Cole POV I had felt the tension rising in Jessica through our bond. Knowing she was in distress, I immediately excused myself from the discussions with a Beta from one of our allies and made my way upstairs. I had met Carson on his way, surprised that he was also heading towards our suite. “I just had a message from Marly that Elder Susan was in your suite, causing some issues,” Carson shared. Elder Susan was starting to become a pain in my ass. I wanted to believe she had good intentions, but I had to question her motives the more she inserted herself in our lives. She had naturally been invited to this evening’s ceremony. It would have been unusual had we not invited her. We were working with her, and she was an Elder with an ally pack. There would be no reason not to include her. I did not expect her to be upsetting Jessica before her celebration. I saw Elder Susan leaving our suite, “Wha
Jessica POV Everything was happening in a whirlwind. Marly had helped me select a dress that I hoped would be appropriate. We picked out shoes I hoped I would not fall flat on my face in. And were now getting our make-up and hair done. Marly had refreshments brought in, which I appreciated as I was starving. “Are you doing okay, babe?” I heard Cole ask me through our mind-link. I sighed, “As good as can be expected,” I replied. Cole chuckled, “I cannot wait to see you,” he stated. I felt a moment of nervousness. I hoped I would make Cole proud. “You always make me proud, Jess,” he commented before closing our link. I smiled as I tucked away that moment. Every moment with Cole was special; each one just more special than the last. “We are almost ready,” Marly squealed as I sat there facing away from the mirror. I had not been permitted to see make-up or hair since the women had started.
Jessica POV The next morning was Saturday, and we were having breakfast with Marly and Carson. Everly was sleeping in her baby chair. I was convinced if all babies were this perfect, I would want one of my own. She was so peaceful and that peaceful feeling surrounded you when you were near her. Marly seemed to be more excited than usual, and Cole seemed like he was smirking at her. As if they were sharing a private secret. It should not have bothered me, but the jealousness I felt was real. And it was embarrassing. I knew they had always been close friends, but being left out stung a little. “You are never left out, and I love that you are jealous,” Cole chuckled through our mind-link. I growled through our link, annoyed that once again I had not kept my thoughts private. I needed to keep that at the front of my mind. “I think it is time to tell her, Marly,” Cole said with a smile. “Finally
Jessica POV I stand there in complete shock. I did not know what had come over me, but the man was flung against the wall and a blade was sticking out of his chest. Where did the blade come from? How had I managed to toss him across the room by lifting my hand?
Jessica POV “Going somewhere, slave?” the man in front of me asked. He was my father’s Beta and one of my biggest abusers. He stepped towards me, wrapping his big hand around my throat. He lifted me so my feet left the ground, and I was swinging in front of him.
Jessica POV I had waited until everyone had eaten their final meal of the day. I knew the rotation shifts for our patrols because I was responsible for feeding them. I knew they would be getting ready for shift change in the next hour. I had finished all my chores and had man
Jessica POV I had been in the dungeons for almost a week. I had little food, but no more abuse. I had been given a change of clothes, so I was a bit warmer, but no blanket. Having to listen to the rogues being abused during my stay had been enough of a punishment.
