Jessica POV “I will not be an asset to anybody,” I reiterated. “You have no choice, Jessica. You are a powerful, talented woman. You will never be able to rest,” Kendrick taunted. “What does that mean?” Cole demanded. Kendrick looked at him with contempt, “You never deserved her,” he spit out. “Fortunately, your opinion never meant anything,” Cole replied. The look on Kendrick’s face turned to a glare, as Josh stepped in front of him, drawing his attention back to the prince. “What did you mean, she will never be able to rest?” the prince questioned. Kendrick took a step back, “Simply that many will be looking for a talented woman, such as Jessica,” he relayed shakily. “You are really starting to piss me off,” the prince stated. “What do you mean?” Kendrick asked. “I know you are not telling me the truth,” Josh stated quietly. Kendrick was visibly shaking, recognizing that the prince was n
Jessica POV Julia and I had our DNA tests completed once again to compare to Prince Josh. Donna had not woken up since she was given her pain medication. After checking in on her, not touching her, the prince determined it was time to go and visit Kendrick in the dungeons. Julia stayed with Donna and promised to notify us when she woke. For now, Josh was adamant he meets the man who had been a part of destroying Donna and Josh’s lives. We walked towards the dungeons while everyone was quiet, lost in their thoughts. “What was it like?” Josh asked. I looked to him, realizing he was speaking to me. “What was what like?” I replied. “Growing up. With the man who was not your father,” he explained. I looked away from him, not wanting to burden him with something he could not have changed. “It was hell,” I admitted not looking at him. “Years of torture; abuse by the pack,” I responded softly. “I
Jessica POV “Mate,” the prince whispered. As he touched Donna she screamed out in pain. She bent forward and the man immediately released her hand. “What is wrong?” he demanded, concern for Donna was evident. A doctor and nurse came rushing in. “We need to give her some pain medication. There is no logical reason she is in pain,” the doctor murmured as she prepared to give Donna a dose of medication. “Donna, can you hear me?” the prince asked, looking at her desperately. Donna was simply rocking herself back and forth, holding her head. “I must administer this medication – she is suffering needlessly,” the doctor commented as she moved forward and injected Donna with the pain relief. After a minute or so Donna started to visibly calm down, until she was resting against her pillows. She slowly looked at the prince, a pained look on her face. “Do I know you?” she whispered, before her eyes c
Jessica POV We did not have to wait long for word to arrive from the King. The King advised immediately that he would be sending his son, the prince, on behalf of the kingdom. We had an opportunity to do some research on the prince. He was the next in line to take over from his father, the King. Oddly there were few recent pictures of the prince. Some in his infant years, but it was as if he was intentionally kept away from media. “How old is he?” I asked, as Marly scanned the documents. “It does not say, but given the age of the King, I would say he would be mid to late forties,” she suggested. Why was there so much mystery surrounding the prince? It is amazing that more people had not tried to find out the details. Or perhaps they had with no success. Marly sighed, “Well, I guess we have learned all that we can today,” she stated, as she stood and stretched. “Donna does not remember anyt
Jessica POV “Do you think that is possible?” I questioned, considering what Cole was proposing. “I believe it could be. We still do not fully understand why your wolf was being contained. Perhaps that was the goal for both of you?” Cole surmised. I nodded, “Perhaps.”. Julia was watching us as she processed everything. “What do you mean – saved for something else?” she asked. “The whole purpose of Grayson and the others was to have me join them in destroying the Wolf Council and basically taking it over,” I shared. “And by taking over the Wolf Council – what would that accomplish?” Julia asked. “It would mean they could take over the Wolf community – creating their own rules for wolves to follow,” Cole offered. “Why?” Julia inquired, still unclear what this all meant. “That is the million-dollar question,” Carson stated, as he moved to stand with us. “We need to convince Kendrick to spill wh
Jessica POV Kendrick was miserable. He was currently being held in our holding cell. I would have preferred they left him in the dungeon, but Carson felt that would not be appropriate … yet. I was frustrated. No matter how we tried to reason with him, we could not get a DNA sample from him. That was more telling. He kept fighting the sample collection, so we decided to submit the DNA samples without him. We wanted to at least get ourselves tested. Donna had agreed so our doctor did the sample collection. Now we just had to wait. Donna had continued to struggle to remember the other man from her past. Every time she tried to access that memory she was struck with a piercing headache. I had tried a healing session when it was happening, however, I had been unable to identify the source of the pain. It was becoming apparent that there was something else at play. Fortunately, we had our own
Cole POV It bothered me that Jessica thought she had to thank us for coming for her. It worried me that she did not understand how valuable she was too me. I realized I had my work cut out for me. Showing her how much she means to me, while also dealing with the seemingly en
Cole POV I heard Jessica scream, and I knew we were still too far away to stop whatever was happening. Gunner put on top speed, with Carson keeping pace. “Do not do anything crazy,” Carson cautioned. “The only thing I will be doing is saving my mate from whatever hell she i
Jessica’s POV I had been kept awake all night with the image of the man standing below my window. I had been looking to the forest wishing my father had not positioned guards right outside my door. When I first tried to leave, they shoved me back into the room letting me fall in
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
