All Chapters of Rescuing the Beta's Mate: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Jessica POV We had arrived, with Julia, for supper. Josh and Donna had not come down yet. We were met with the King, and he introduced us to his mate and Queen. “It is lovely to meet you all,” the Queen stated softly. “We have not had princesses in the palace for many years. It is a treat for us,” she added. “I do not think I will ever get used to being referred to as a princess,” I admitted, as Julia nodded her head in agreement. I could feel Julia’s tension, and I knew it was related to her missing mate. We had not had a chance to speak with her before coming down for supper. I had not had a chance to let her know my plan. We heard movement at the door, and I was relieved to see Josh and Donna. Donna looked more alert than when we had last seen her. She was cautious upon entering the dining hall and looked around as if anticipating her nightmare would produce itself once again. “We hav

Cole POV I held onto Jessica like my life depended on it. She had seen so much in a short period of time. And was passed out cold. I had not seen her react to what she had seen like this before. It had me concerned. However, I could not ignore the tension in the room. The guards were standing with an outraged Henry. “How can you believe such lies from a woman you barely know?” Henry demanded. Josh stood very close to Henry. Close enough to punch him in the face. Had Henry not been held up by guards, he would have fallen. “I believe every word!” Josh roared. “Why would she lie? She has no interest in the crown!” he stated. Henry looked at him in shock. “Well, it is clear what side you are on,” Henry commented as he turned to look at the King. “My King, you believe me, don’t you?” Henry asked. The King looked conflicted and I felt instant rage. There was no reason for Jessica to put her

Jessica POV We all stood in complete silence, staring at the dead man who had been a part of our torture for almost twenty years. I slowly turned to look at Josh and Donna. Donna was crying tears of relief. Josh looked conflicted; he had lost his cousin again but was relieved that Henry was gone. Julia was sobbing on the floor, having been told what she believed about her mate had been true. I looked to the King and Queen who were simply standing there in complete shock. I waited for the King to pass some kind of judgement, but he said nothing. I moved towards Julia, wanting to help ease her pain and suffering. She lifted her head, “He is gone,” she whispered. I did not say anything. There was nothing I could say that would make this any easier for her. I did a quick scan of her body and quickly healed her injuries. Then I wrapped my arms around her and simply held her as she continued to s

Jessica POV “Absolutely not!” I yelled as everyone stared at me. We had been having the same conversation for over an hour and yet it always came back to the same thing. I was expected to give up my role as Beta Female for the Full Moon Pack and prepare to take over as the Queen when my father passed the title down. “Perhaps we could all just take a moment, and breathe,” the current Queen suggested. “There is no breathing, no calming down. I refuse to have this conversation,” I said, standing and pacing in the room. Cole had been exceptionally quiet, which was also concerning me. “Cole; do you see yourself preventing your mate from becoming Queen?” the King questioned softly. I looked to Cole, daring him to say anything that would be a contradiction to what I had already said. “Whatever Jessica wants, I will support,” he responded. I was not thrilled with the answer, but it was better than Cole agreeing with the

Jessica POV I moaned as I felt myself coming back into my body. My head was pounding and felt lethargic. “What did they give us, Belle?” I asked my wolf. She was quiet. Perhaps she had not fully woken yet. “Belle? You are scaring me,” I commented again. I slowly opened my eyes before quickly closing them again. The light was so bright. “I see you are finally awake,” a male voice said to my side. I did not respond, trying to get a sense of what he wanted. “It only took you a day to wake up from the dose we gave you,” he shared. A day? Cole would be losing his mind trying to find me. “What do you want?” I asked the man. “First, I would like you to open your eyes,” he commented. I tried again, but the light shining on my face blinded me. “Turn the light off,” I mumbled. I heard the light click and tried opening my eyes once again. I blinked a few times before I was able to keep my ey
