Todos os capítulos de Rescuing the Beta's Mate: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

Cole POV “Go ahead without us; we will meet you there,” my Alpha, Carson, stated through our mind-link. I chuckled at the Alpha, knowing he was taking advantage of private time with his Luna, Marly. I was excited about attending the spring Gala, and more importantly, looking forward to the possibility of finding my second chance mate. I had avoided the galas for a few years now. Having been rejected by my fated mate who was wanting to mate with an Alpha, I had buried the pain and kept it to myself that I had been rejected. Marly, being a healer, had stumbled upon my secret during a healing session. I had not wanted anyone to know as I was humiliated at being rejected. At the time I was a Gamma. I had recently been promoted to Beta for our pack, the Full Moon Pack. I was proud of the promotion and hoped it would be a step in the right direction for my second chance mate … provided I got lucky enough to be given one.

Jessica POV As tears filled my eyes, I quickly pulled my dress up and secured the neckline. I did not look at my father, nor the man who would be my chosen mate. I was nauseous and could not guarantee I would not vomit on both of them for what I had endured. My father wrapped his hand around my arm. I could feel him bruising me, but it did not matter. I knew my purpose at being here was over and that we would be on our way out of here. The old Alpha left the room first, leaving me with my bastard of a father. “You did well. Be sure to be that docile with the man when you marry him,” my father spit out. I was bitter at his words, but could not help begging him, “Please do not do this,” I started to say when he cut me off. “This is all you are good for. You will do this for our pack, and you will accept your fate. Nobody else would want you,” he responded, as tears rolled down my cheeks. “Wipe your tears,

Cole POV I met up with Carson and Marly; expectant looks on their faces. “Where is she?” Marly asked tentatively. I shook my head, “She left before I could find her,” I admitted. “She could not have known you were here,” Marly assured me, concern on her face. “I do not think she knew either,” I admitted. “I smelled her scent of jasmine, but I smelled fear more so,” I shared with both of them. “Fear?” Carson asked, concern in his voice. “Fear. And it was rampant,” I confided in them. “We have to find her,” Carson stated, Alpha mode ready to take over. “I have no idea where to start looking,” I said, a wave of uneasiness rolling over me. “Let’s go speak with the host Alpha. He will know which packs had been invited. You can start there,” Carson suggested. Of course, the Alpha would know who had been present, and I would be able to track her down through that knowledge. We went directly to the Alpha, re

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 managed to stay below the radar of everyone. I was still in pain, but I knew I had to try and get through the borders now. If there was a chance, I could avoid the fate that was waiting for me, I had to go now. I scurried to my room and grabbed the limited cash I had managed to squirrel away over time. Putting on the only coat I had, I quietly left my room. I scanned the hallways and could not detect anybody around, so I darted back downstairs and out the back door. Shutting it quietly, I looked around and tried to figure out the best way to escape. The reality was I had rarely been allowed out of the pack house, and I was at a loss of which way I shou

Cole POVI had been searching in the packs of our neighboring territories all week. There had been some good leads from our meeting with the Alpha. I had one more pack to visit, but we had not heard back whether I was permitted to enter the territory or not. We did not have an alliance with them, but we were trying to meet with the intention that we were interested in an alliance.The Crescent Moon Pack was not the best pack, but the Alpha appeared to be fair to his pack members. The Luna from the Gala had indicated the Alpha’s daughter was quiet and left the Gala early. I had hung onto the hope that this last visit would help me find my mate. Otherwise, I will have quite possibly lost her forever.We had spoken with other packs, and they indicated the Alpha was worth talking to about an alliance. Not many had allied with them, but they did indicate he was respected. I paced Carson’s office, impatiently waiting to hear back from the Alpha. “Stop pacing. You
