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
Jessica POV It had been a couple days since the attack. It was like we were being tested. The night of the fight and then the waiting. Nobody had let their guard down. We were all on edge, but knew we had to be diligent. We would not risk losing anyone else. We had buried the warriors we had lost. It had been a difficult experience. Knowing these brave men and women had fought for something they believed in, and had lost, was painful for me. I was the root cause of those deaths, and I was struggling to make peace with this reality. As if sensing my thoughts were going dark, Cole took my hand, “You need to move past this, Jess,” he murmured. “I know but it is easier said than done,” I admitted. He smiled sadly at me, as he understood where I was coming from. “Why don’t they just make their next move, for fuck’s sake?” I exclaimed. Carson, Marly and Cole looked up at me in surprsie. “What?” I asked, embarr
Jessica POV “Jessica! Jessica!” I heard as I groggily came back to my body. My head had a stabbing pain in it, and I was trying to remember what happened. I had not opened my eyes yet, but I could hear Cole frantically shouting my name. “Stop yelling,” I murmured. “Open your eyes, beautiful,” Cole said, panic in his voice. I squinted, trying to open my eyes but the light was blinding me. “The light,” I whispered, as I kept my eyes closed. “Okay, try now,” he encouraged. I cautiously opened my eyes and this time there was no light blinding me. I slowly blinked, looking around until my eyes landed on Cole’s. “There you are,” he said softly, as he leaned forward and kissed my forehead. “What happened?” I asked, as I tried to sit up. Cole put his hand on my shoulder, as the doctor continued to check my vitals. “We were hoping you could tell us,” Cole replied. I paused for a moment trying to r
Jessica POV I could feel the tension rising in the waiting area, the longer we were forced to sit with no news. Cole was fuming at the lack of communication from the doctor. I tried to assure both Marly and Cole that Carson would pull through but neither heard me when I spoke. Each lost in their own feelings of loss. I knew I could make a difference, if only I could get past the medical team and directly in to see Carson. As I sat there considering my options, I heard the swish of the doors. I looked up, as Marly and Cole moved to stand in front of the doctors. Two had come out of the operating room. “What is the news?” Cole questioned hopefully. Marly was holding on tightly to Cole’s hand. While I felt a moment of jealousy, I knew she needed his support. And I knew they were only friends. I quickly calmed my wolf and moved to stand with them. Shaking her head, the lead doctor looked at Ma
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
Jessica POV I was so comfortable, circled by warmth. I must be dreaming, I had never felt this warmth and security my entire life. I nuzzled down further into the warmth, feeling comforted. I felt something move against me and froze. My body tensed, as I came awake quickly.
