Chapter 41 - Betrayal

Cole POV I ushered in the guards, as Jessica sat off to the side of my desk. I wanted her to be present, to understand the importance of our role within the pack. And I wanted pack members to understand how important Jessica was to me. As the two guards took their seats, I noticed they scowled at Jessica. “Is there are problem?” I questioned, unclear what was going on with their attitudes. “Why is she still here?” one questioned. “Excuse me?” I replied, as I glared at each man. I knew my power was starting to show as both men started to bare their necks to me. “Her fated mate came for her today. He was pissed that she had run from him, trying to act like she belonged here,” the other stated. I heard the swift intake of Jessica’s breath, but I did not look to her. My gaze remained on both men in front of me. “And where would he have gotten the impression that he could just wander around our

Chapter 42 - Shock

Cole POV I had debriefed Carson on the situation. He would also be punishing the two guards who had decided what the pack needed. The pack only was as strong as its leadership. If someone swayed or took it upon themselves to exact justice, well-intentioned or not, it could not be ignored. I had a warrior bringing Christine in to meet with us. Jessica was still at the window, as I looked at her. “Come take a seat, Jess,” I encouraged. She looked at me, “I do not think I should be here for these interviews,” she stated. “I think you are exactly where you need to be,” I replied. She looked at me, frustrated; “How can you say that? They already have an opinion of me. I feel like I am back at the Crescent Moon Pack,” she admitted. I stood up, walking over to her, “I am sorry you feel that way Jessica. And it is wrong; I intend to correct it by showing a solid front when we meet with the people involved in this shit

Chapter 43 - Missing

Cole POV I felt my heart stop. This could not be happening. She cannot be pregnant. My mind scanned the last time we would have slept together. It was prior to the gala; however, that was only a couple weeks ago. It was like a month before that. That would make her six weeks pregnant, potentially. If it were mine. “You are lying,” Jessica stated. I looked at her in surprise. “What did you say, freak?” Christine yelled. “I said you are lying; that pup is not Cole’s,” Jessica stated. I looked at her, confused at how she could be so confident. “How do we even know you are truly pregnant?” I asked, trying to choke back my fear. I knew Jessica was likely speaking from a place of fear as well. I needed to get control of the situation. “I will take you to my doctor’s appointment tomorrow. You will learn then that I am, in fact, six weeks pregnant,” Christine responded confidently. “How do we

Chapter 44 - Decision

Jessica POV How could I have expected things to be different. I was someone everybody ignored. I knew in my heart that Cole was not the father of that pup. Yet he would not believe me after I repeatedly told him the truth. I do not know how I know, but something smelled wrong. Cole has a distinct apple cinnamon scent. A scent that always brought me comfort from the time I first scented it. Not that was allowed to taste the delicious smelling food, but the scent warmed my insides. And that woman does not smell like Cole. I am making assumptions, but I believe their scents should be intertwined. I detect nothing of Cole. As I walked outside, I realized I was heading towards the forest. Why would I go this way? I was not prepared to shift, nor would I assume I could just wander around the pack territory. “We are just walking, Jessica; let’s explore,” Belle said in my mind. “Is it safe?” I

Chapter 45 - Toxin

Cole POV My heart leapt at the sound of Jessica saying she was with me. I pulled her into my arms, wrapping her up tightly for a brief moment. “Let’s show these fuckers what we are made of,” I murmured to her as she looked to me with complete trust in her eyes. She nodded, before moving to shift into Belle. She shook out her wolf coat, and I proudly glanced at the warriors around us. Each one knew how rare it was to have a white wolf in a pack. As Jessica shifted, I heard a rumbling among the rogues. They were getting restless and I could sense their need to capture Jessica. I took Belle’s face into my hands, “Stay close to me,” I commanded, as I shifted into Gunner. I turned to face the rogues who were moving towards us, not caring that they were bridging our borders. “We need to capture her; get her at any cost,” the leader stated before he also shifted into a scraggly wolf. I watched as

Chapter 46 - Healing

Jessica POV I heard Cole’s warning, but I could not resist reaching forward to touch the black tarry substance. It was like I was drawn to it through a magnetic force. Cole tried to step away but it was like he was stuck in that position. I glanced up at him and saw the pain in his face. I hated what I saw, and I wanted to erase it. I felt compelled to erase the pain resonating from him. As I touched the substance, I felt a zap and I was tossed across the field. It took me a moment to realize what had happened. I heard Cole yelling at me, panicked. I stood on shaky legs and moved back towards him, “I cannot move,” he told me, as he looked to me with panic flaring in his eyes. “I can do this,” I murmured as Cole tried to grab my arm, “Do not touch it again, Jessica! I do not know what it is, but it is like I am grounded in this spot,” Cole shared. Unable to stop my infatuation with the stuff that kept oozing from leg,

Chapter 47 - Twist

Cole POV The hardest thing was watching Jessica reach for me and having to hold back from touching her. She was in pain and I knew I was the cause of it. Why did she heal me? And what did that mean? Was it a talent she would have? But how could it be of any use when she assumes the pain of the person she heals? Carson met me in the hall as I watched helplessly as Jessica was wheeled into the examination room. She called my name, and I looked to Carson, “Go,” he agreed as I moved to follow them into the room. I stood beside Jessica, as the doctor started to examine her. His touch did not hurt her. What did that mean, I wondered. “It seems there is a foreign toxin inside of you,” the doctor stated to Jessica. She rolled her eyes, as if saying, no kidding sherlock. “Can you help fix her?” I questioned, knowing from our bond that the pain was becoming unbearable for Jess. She was still sweating, and I could see her face tightening a

Chapter 48 - Answers

Cole POV I was pacing in the room waiting for the doctor to return. As if I had manifested him, he came racing through the door with a nurse on his heels. “What is wrong?” I demanded, seeing the frantic look on his face. “We know what it is,” he responded, as I waited impatiently for him to speak. “It is a rare, and uniquely developed, bug that transfers from one body to the next. How it transfers is hard to understand; however, in your case the bite exposed you to the bug,” the doctor stated, as he moved around Jessica’s bed unhooking medications flowing to her. “What are you doing? I do not want her in more pain than she already is,” I stated angrily. The doctor paused, as the nurse continued working, “She is suffering in complete silence,” the doctor stated to me. I felt nauseous as I realized what that meant. Jessica had been forced to endure the pain internally while being aware of what w

Chapter 49 - Removal

Jessica POV I was going through the scan. Because of the nature of the bug inside of me, it was taking longer than I had expected. Cole was waiting for me right outside the door, never leaving my side. I felt warm inside. Not from the bug, but rather from the commitment we had just made to one another. I had taken a leap of faith and chose him. I cannot believe I did it. I felt selfish and elated at the same time. Selfish in not knowing what was to come, elated because I was given a gift in having Cole as my mate. I was lost in my mind, when I realized the machine had stopped. “What is happening?” I called out, knowing they could hear me. “We are studying the bug itself,” the doctor replied, as Cole added, “I am right here, Jess,” he stated calmly. I allowed my breath to release, as I felt my heart rate return to normal. As I had been waiting for my scan and during the scan, I had continu

Chapter 50 - Relief

Jessica POV I drew a breath, as the doctor finally stated he had the bug in his clasp. I said nothing, as tears continued to flow down my cheeks. I had not said a word, but the tears would not stop flowing. The pain was incredible. It felt like a constant internal burn, that would simply not give me a reprieve. “Just a couple more minutes, Jessica,” the doctor murmured as he focused on his task. I did not reply, the statement did not require one. As I felt the instrument slide from my stomach, I let out a sigh of relief. There was a nurse waiting to put the bug inside a jar to seal it shut. The doctor stood, showing me the bug inside the jar. It was this hideous, tarry looking thing with fangs sticking out of its mouth. The blood surrounding the creature just added to the horror of it. To think that had been inside of me moments ago was disturbing. “Figure out what it is and deal with it,” I managed to say, before I felt my eyes start to close
