Rescuing the Beta's Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Jessica POV As I entered the bathroom, I noticed the bathroom was lacking the usual warmth guestrooms shared. I approached the tub, and my heart started to race. “What is your problem, get in,” the Omega snarled as I glanced at her face. “Is that cold water?” I questioned. “Get in,” she replied, not answering my question. I bent over and touched the water and jumped back. “I cannot get in that; I will freeze to death!” I exclaimed. The Omega took a step towards me, “Would you rather your father sends the men in to do this wretched job? I am okay with that option,” she smirked, knowing my answer. I moved towards the tub, tears in my eyes. I stepped into the tub, and my body started to shake. Before I could let my body acclimatize to the water, the Omega had her hands on my shoulders shoving me down into the freezing water. I gasped as the cold water circled around my body. She was right, I was used to

Cole POV We had a tense meal with Alpha Matheus and his guest … the apparent groom. I could not imagine the Moon Goddess would pair a young woman with this bastard. I did not even have to meet the young woman to know this was a less than reputable man. I wondered what her father thought of the situation. He seemed keen to satisfy the other Alpha, which caused me concern. As we thanked the men for the meal, we excused ourselves to go to the bar we had heard about earlier. Thinking we were having an early night, we said our good evenings to the men and walked away. Recalling the directions the Omega had given us, we made our way there in our SUV. As we arrived, it was clear the party had started a while ago. Entering the bar, the music was thumping, and the drinks were flowing. There were a lot of she-wolves looking our way. I was here for one thing. To find my mate. But the other two warriors with me,

Cole POV It was her. My mate. Only she was not recognizing me or was ignoring the fact that I was her fated mate. I watched as she got closer to me and could not help but exclaim “Mate!”. I stepped forward but her father stepped between us. “That is not possible,” Alpha Matheus commented. “It is possible and it is true,” I stated, looking to my mate for some type of recognition. What was wrong with her? Did she really want to marry the old bastard standing at the front of the room? He started to move towards us, “What is going on?” he spit out. “She is my mate, and I am objecting to this union,” I said calmly. I watched as the bastard’s face went red, sputtering, “We had a deal, Matheus. Fix this,” he said as he turned and walked back towards the front of the room. I looked to her father, realizing something far more sinister was happening. She did not want this. This was some sort of trade off. I lo

Cole POV I could feel her distress through the door. She was thinking about rejecting me. I could not let that happen. I whipped the door open and pulled Jessica into my arms. “You are stuck with me,” I muttered before capturing her lips with my own. I could not get enough of kissing her and I would spend the rest of my life like this. With her in my arms, my lips on her lips. She sighed into the kiss momentarily, before she realized what she was doing. “You do not even know me. I am not worthy of being anybody’s mate,” she admitted as I stared at her incredulously. “You are beautiful, and you are mine. That is all that matters to me,” I told her as I pulled her in for a tight hug. Releasing her, I took the damp cloth from her hand and started to dab the dried blood from her cheek. Once I was satisfied it was cleaned off enough, “Let’s go get you a drink of water,” I suggested as we stepped from the washroom. She led me

Cole POV I could not believe I finally had my mate in my arms. She had struggled to stay awake, but her eyes finally slipped shut after an hour into the drive. We had a few more hours to go, so Carson and I were communicating through our mind-link so as not to disturb her. “Marly is going to love her,” Carson said. I smiled, thinking of our very pregnant Luna. Pups grew faster for wolves, and she was quickly moving through the various stages of pregnancy. “I think we will have to contain Marly’s excitement slightly. I am not sure how Jessica will respond to a lot of attention,” I admitted. Carson nodded his agreement, “She will contain herself. She will appreciate the hard time Jessica has had,” he assured me. I knew she would, but I had to admit I was nervous myself on how to proceed with Jessica. She had been through so much, and so much more I did not even know yet. How would she handle a relation
