The Beta's Mate Chapter 24
Josie POV I was frozen laying here with this thin blanket covering my body. It reminded me too much of being at the Red Pine Pack when I had first arrived and ended up in their dungeons. Sarah had stopped crying hours ago, but she still would not speak to me. Food was brought down for both of us. I did not hear Sarah get up to inspect the food. I did and quickly walked away from the slop on the platter. As I lay there shivering, I plotted my revenge against Tim and his merry band of torturers. I would avenge whatever Sarah had endured and take her with me when I escaped. I just needed an opportunity to escape. I decided to act like I was still affected by the wolfsbane the next time I see Tim. I needed him to be complacent about my strength. He might be calling himself the Rogue King, but I was the true Rogue Queen. If he wanted a fight, he picked the wrong woman to fight with. I knew I was stronger than he was. He might feel powerful
The Beta's Mate Chapter 25
Adam POV Something was going on between Jack and Sam. I could feel the tension between the two of them, yet I could not pinpoint what exactly was wrong. Everything had been fine prior to the Gala. The Gala had been a huge success with many unmated wolves finding their mates. And a lot of positive feedback from the various Packs who participated. No, something happened during the event. Some unprecedented. In all our years as best friends, I have never known them to have an issue between each other. As we sat down to discuss getting Josie back, Sam sat down in front of me while Jack chose to stand by the wall at the door. Like he was ready to bolt at the first chance he got. After briefly discussing the successes of the past couple of days and the lengthy meeting we just endured with the Alphas and their mates, I looked between both men. “What the hell is going on with you two?” I ask before we start to strategize how we will find Josie.
The Beta's Mate Chapter 26
Sam POV As the warriors arrived, they also did not recognize the scent. I now realize it was the scent of the witch that had be drifting over to our territory. I had not scented Lana because she was in the open so briefly and she could have been using her descenter. The warriors continued to search around for a short amount of time before I encouraged them to go. They agreed to keep a closer eye on this area of our territory. I could not help the distrust that rolled across me. I walked further down the bank toward the river, wanting to get a moment to myself. I had to consider the conversation Jack and I had a short time ago. It bothered me that he had been rejected and it played on my mind whether I should give Josie a second chance. I did not want to take lightly what Jack had shared with me. How would I feel if I gave Josie a second chance? How would I feel if I did not give us a chance? I had no answer and until we got her back, I would not be
The Beta's Mate Chapter 27
Josie POV I had been waiting in this cell what felt like forever. Yet I knew it had not been long. Certainly not as long as Sarah had been here and all that she had endured. I still got very little out of her. They had left her alone. I was not certain why, but I welcomed the reprieve for her. I had been annoyed that Tim had not been back since he was called away. Not that I wanted him. I simply wanted the chance to get the hell out of here. I was strong again. I was still not interested in the food here, but I made an effort to eat it. I needed to keep up my strength. Any messages I could get to Sarah, I would remind her to eat. I would tell her we were leaving soon. She made me promise and I did. I knew I would die trying to escape. I knew now I wanted to have a life. I hoped that would be with Sam, but I knew I had a lot to do to try and convince him to trust me. I could not focus on that right now. Now I had to focus on one st
The Beta's Mate Chapter 28
Sam POV I had still been feeling off since seeing Lana yesterday. I was certain she had done something to me, but I could not put my finger on what it was. It was like the memory of seeing her was becoming distant and my recollections were shifting. Like I am left wondering what was real and what was my imagination. “Are we ready to go, Sam?” Adam asks as he walks toward the black SUVs with Jenna by his side. “Yes, we are - the last of the warriors are loading into the fourth SUV and with you that means we are all here,” I reply. Jenna looks at me with a sour look on her face, “You better bring my sister back to me all in one piece,” she mutters still upset that she would not be joining us. “You know why you cannot come with us,” Adam says to her with a sigh. “Don’t you think I would be safer with all of you, then here on my own?” she says trying to guilt Adam into changing his mind. “You are hardly on your own, Jenna. You have a team of w

Josie POV Sitting there trying to quell the nerves in my stomach, I sit back as the omega pushes the food to me. I look at her with a frown and shake my head no. “You have to,” she whispers. “Why?” I ask confused as to why she would care. “If you do not eat, he will punish me,” she continues to whisper. Looking at her I simply sit in shock. What has he come to? Tim was never this way before. He tried to be intimidating at times, but overall, he was always a happy go lucky kind of guy. I remember when he had found his mate. He was completely in awe of her; however, she quickly told him she had other plans. Wendy had been his mate. But she was involved with my brother at the time. She wanted power and Eric had it as the Rogue King. Tim took a backseat but never gave up hope she would eventually accept him. She tried to reject him, but he refused the rejection. He would have suffered with her having affairs with other men. Particularly
The Beta's Mate Chapter 30
Sam POV We had been running in our wolf forms for what seemed like longer than a couple hours. The terrain was rough. I could not imagine them carrying Josie all this way to secure her away from being found. There must be a road access that was not shown on the maps I had researched. We were almost to the location I hoped to find Josie at. I felt more anxious the closer we got to the site. I did not know why. I never faltered when it came to combat. I embraced it and excelled at it. I toyed with the idea of sharing the concern I had about Lana injecting me with something; however, every time I went to share the information with Jack and Adam, I was met with resistance. Like something invisible was holding me back from releasing the words and concerns I had from my conscious mind. I started to wonder if there was not a spell or some type of command that was released when it entered my body. I was getting angrier at the thought of being co
The Beta's Mate Chapter 31
Sam POV I was broken for Jack. His mate, Sarah, was passed out in his arms. And he could do little to help her. The only thing that might help is with the bond between mates he can take some of her pain away or lessen some of the pain Sarah was experiencing. But we needed to get her help right away. I mind-link the warrior I sent out to try and find a vehicle, he replies quickly that he found a few SUVs with keys in them. “Jack, we need to get her to Jenna,” I say to him as I try to help him up. “I can hold her until you are standing,” I offer but he growls at me. Wolves were possessive of their mates and finding his mate in this condition would increase his natural instincts to protect his mate from further harm. Adam and I move behind Jack and put our arms through his arms pulling him into a standing position. He did not release Sarah from his arms. Josie had run to the room she had stayed in and grabbed a blanket so it could be wrapp
