All Chapters of Rescuing the Beta's Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

104 Chapters

Chapter 1 - Punishment

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. The sad part was the Alpha was my father.

Chapter 2 - Gala

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.

Chapter 3 - Humiliation

Jessica POV I walked slowly inside the room that had been allocated to me. We were staying at the pack house so my father, the Alpha, could keep a close eye on me. If we had been in a hotel, I might have been able to escape or at least avoid him. He had made me come to this farce of an event. He had already sold me off to an older Alpha, so I had no idea why he had dragged me here. Actually, I did. For appearances. He wanted everyone to believe he was a generous and kind Alpha who cherished his daughter. I knew differently. The scars on my back told the tale of my childhood and upbringing. The pain I still felt from my recent beating was a constant reminder of my life. Without my wolf, healing took longer for me. A painful side effect of not having your wolf’s healing abilities. 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

Chapter 4 - Survival

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,

Chapter 5 - Mate

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

Chapter 6 - Hurt

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

Chapter 7 - Plan

Jessica POV My face was swollen and pounding in pain as we arrived back to the pack territory. I had curled up against the door of the SUV as we drove home. Tears tracked down my cheeks, as much from pain as despair at the thoughts of my future. I could not erase the thoughts of that beast from my mind. How he had leered at my body. Licking his dry lips, like he was ready to jump me. My father had done nothing to protect my dignity. Not that I was surprised but I had held onto some ridiculous notion that even he had a limit. Clearly that limit excluded anything to do with me. “You will do your usual chores this week. The pack will be advised they cannot touch you,” my father stated coldly. “Does that include you?” I whispered through my split lip. My father grabbed a fistful of my hair whipping my head around to look at his face. “I promise you … wedding or not, you continue to defy me, and you will not

Chapter 8 - Escape

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

Chapter 9 - Atonement

Jessica POV “Going somewhere, slave?” the man in front of me asked. He was my father’s Beta and one of my biggest abusers. He stepped towards me, wrapping his big hand around my throat. He lifted me so my feet left the ground, and I was swinging in front of him. I remained still, willing him to kill me. As if seeing the desire of death in my eyes, he released me, allowing me to fall to the ground gasping for air. “Did you think you would get away with this?” he asked, as he bent down grabbing a fistful of my hair and dragging me to stand in front of him. I screamed at the pain, holding his hands and trying to make him release me. He simply held on tighter and started to drag me back towards the pack house. “Please let me go. I do not want to marry that man,” I begged as he simply chuckled. “That man is paying good money for you. Money, we need to survive,” the Beta admitted. This was the first I had heard

Chapter 10 - Option

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
