All Chapters of Rescuing the Beta's Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Jessica POV I heard the whistle of the silver whip hit after it hit my back. I did my best to hold in my scream of pain, but I could not hold back the whimpers. I was tied to the punishment post … or rather my punishment post as the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack taunted me over the years. I had been late serving meals to the warriors, and that had warranted another beating. I had been punched and kicked by the warriors for the infraction. The Alpha did not feel that was enough. I felt the tears tracking down my cheeks, but I knew the more I showed my pain, the more punishment would be forced on me. I could not help the scream that escaped my lips as the whip met its mark. The Alpha had been intentionally hitting me in the same spots, ensuring to leave additional scars on my already criss crossed back of scars. I had been beaten for years, over ridiculous things.

I bitterly started to get ready for the Gala. I heard a rap on my door before my father walked in. There was no such thing as personal spa

Cole POV After waiting impatiently for our Alpha Carson and Luna Marly, it was agreed we would head off to the gala rather than waiting for them. We parked our vehicles on the other side of the pack grounds as the main parking area was already full. We walked towards the gala, as I heard the buzz of excitement among our pack members. “I smell something,” I heard from different people. I smiled as I heard my wolf yawn, waking up. “She is here,” he said, before laying his head down on his front paws. He was as eager to meet his mate, as I was to meet mine. My pace quickened as the pack followed me towards the entrance. There I caught the scent of jasmine filling my senses. I quickly greeted the host Alpha and Luna before walking into the hall and searching for someone who would be searching for me. I walked slowly through the hall, finding the scent getting stronger towards the back of the dancefloor. I sto
