Josie POV As Tim walked away, I could hear someone weeping in the dungeons. I had to strain my ears to hear them. “Hello?” I ask waiting to see if they responded. Nothing. “Hello,” I repeat a little louder. I knew my own voice had been weakened by the poison in my system. I heard sniffling, “Hello?” the woman replied. I shuffle trying to sit up. Realizing I was still too weak I laid on my side, asking, “Who are you?” I ask. The woman replies, “We shouldn’t be talking, we will get in trouble,” she says in a forced whisper. I pause for a moment. The woman sounds terrified. “I will take my chances,” I reply to her. “I am not sure I will,” she replies softly. “What is your name?” I ask her softly so as not to draw attention from the guards. “Sarah,” she replies. “My name is Josie; how long have you been here?” I ask her afraid to hear the answer. “A month by my calculations,” she replies. A month. What the hell has she been doing her

Jenna POV The day had arrived. The Packs were starting to arrive. The excitement among the various Packs and their guests was infectious. Adam and I had the responsibility, and pleasure, of greeting each Alpha and Luna of the Packs who were attending. We had a couple Alphas attending who were single. I knew one was bringing a guest with him. I only hoped they did not encounter challenges if either found their mates tonight. There was some tension among the Alphas with the current rogue situation. With the hit Tim took in his army of rogues, we were not certain he would be able to gather enough rogues and organize them for another attack. I knew we were well prepared, and I had never seen so many warriors present in once place with the additional support from the ten Packs. It was quite incredible to experience. I was most proud of our own Pack members. Our Omegas had planned an amazing dining experience for tonight. As we had discussed

Josie POV I was so warm inside my body. The healing power of Jenna has been incredible to experience. I had always been cold, although I was a wolf. Wolves were traditionally warm and rarely cold. Being a rogue and the daughter of the Rogue King meant I was in a perpetual state of pain and cold. As Jenna worked on my stomach, I felt the ebb and flow of pain. I knew she was struggling and had taken many breaks trying to cleanse me. I had suggested we stop. I did not want her to experience the pain I had endured this long. I was used to it and could handle it. I knew she had almost died when she had worked on healing my brother Eric. I felt a closeness to her during this time. A closeness I had never felt to another. Including my brother. He may have been my twin, but we were never close. He endured me, and killed for me when he killed our father, but I had no disillusion that he cared for me. I did not know if he was even capable of

Lana POV As we walked into the Mate Gala, I had a sense of trepidation roll over me. I could not figure out this ominous feeling I had since arriving at the Red Pine Pack. I had assumed it was because it was my first real duty as Luna of the Harvest Moon Pack. A role I did not want to play, I never wanted to be Luna. However, I had a responsibility to Lucas. I had made promises to him, that I could not break. I would not break them. He had worked hard to become Alpha of the Harvest Moon Pack, and I had supported him along that journey. Being an Alpha myself, I had helped him by sharing the knowledge I had. He was an Alpha, but he was spoiled and never really took being the Alpha seriously. Until his father died unexpectedly. Then Lucas had to step up and take over. Earning the trust of our Pack was hard for him. My support tilted the scales in his favour. We are not fated mates. We are chosen mates. But that came with complications.

Sam POV I finished the border patrol and knew the evening was winding down. I met up with Jack when I returned. “I did not expect to see you until tomorrow some time,” I say chuckling at him. He looks at me with a smirk, “Me either. Turns out her mate likes to be fashionably late to events. Needless to say, things were tense there for a few minutes,” he says with a big smile. “You like to be a shit disturber,” I say to him with a laugh. “Well, I cannot say I did not enjoy the look on the guy’s face. He came in with a hot blonde, he did not need two,” Jack says logically. Shaking my head, I put my hand on his shoulder, “Let’s go in and grab a beer my friend,” I say to him. We walk into the kitchen, which is also winding down. A lot of the staff are cleaning up for the night as the Gala is almost over. Many wolves will continue partying in their rooms, a lot who are mated are likely already in their rooms marking and mating. Deep down I wanted to

Lana POV I knew I had said too much. The anger on Sam’s face told me he would not keep quiet. I had to leave now and warn Lucas. Turning away from Sam I had a moment of sadness. I would miss seeing him and wished things had been different. Not that we were mates, we were not. I had known this when I met him in that small town on my retreat from Luna duties. Lucas and I had an agreement. Hell, we had so many agreements it was likely a complete farce what we were trying to accomplish. But so far, nobody knew differently. Even his Beta and Gamma were in the dark about his secret. My retreats had kept me sane. I felt guilty admitting that. The fact that I had not ever met my mate was a blessing. I am not sure what I would have done had I met my mate. My draw to Sam was nothing I have experienced before, and we were not mates. I could scent him. Like an identifying scent. But not the type of scent where you felt wrapped up in that mate

Josie POV I was frozen laying here with this thin blanket covering my body. It reminded me too much of being at the Red Pine Pack when I had first arrived and ended up in their dungeons. Sarah had stopped crying hours ago, but she still would not speak to me. Food was brought down for both of us. I did not hear Sarah get up to inspect the food. I did and quickly walked away from the slop on the platter. As I lay there shivering, I plotted my revenge against Tim and his merry band of torturers. I would avenge whatever Sarah had endured and take her with me when I escaped. I just needed an opportunity to escape. I decided to act like I was still affected by the wolfsbane the next time I see Tim. I needed him to be complacent about my strength. He might be calling himself the Rogue King, but I was the true Rogue Queen. If he wanted a fight, he picked the wrong woman to fight with. I knew I was stronger than he was. He might feel powerful
The Beta's Mate Chapter 25
Adam POV Something was going on between Jack and Sam. I could feel the tension between the two of them, yet I could not pinpoint what exactly was wrong. Everything had been fine prior to the Gala. The Gala had been a huge success with many unmated wolves finding their mates. And a lot of positive feedback from the various Packs who participated. No, something happened during the event. Some unprecedented. In all our years as best friends, I have never known them to have an issue between each other. As we sat down to discuss getting Josie back, Sam sat down in front of me while Jack chose to stand by the wall at the door. Like he was ready to bolt at the first chance he got. After briefly discussing the successes of the past couple of days and the lengthy meeting we just endured with the Alphas and their mates, I looked between both men. “What the hell is going on with you two?” I ask before we start to strategize how we will find Josie.
