Jack POV Within the hospital there was chaos. Doctors were yelling for nurses to come help with patients – specifically Adam and Sam. They were still trying to save Adam from the poison coursing through his veins. And Sam they were trying to stop the bleeding. His wolf, Chance, was doing what he could to help but these wounds had happened in Sam’s human form and that would require more doctor intervention. I am pacing between rooms when I see Josie running around the corner. I stop her grabbing her up in my arms, “He is still alive, Jack. I have not felt the bond break,” Josie says repeatedly. “They are working on him Josie. Just sit here,” I say pointing to a chair in the hall. “No, I want to be with him,” she says shakily as she tries to get around me. “You will just get in the way. Sit your ass down and do what you are told, for once!” I yell at her. I had not intended to be so harsh, but I was feeling the pressure of both the alpha and

Josie POV I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when Sam woke up. It has been two days since he woke, and I still cannot believe all that has happened in the past couple of days. Adam is still in a coma, but it is believed he will come out of it soon. It is likely that his body was exhausted and needed the additional rest after fighting his way back. He has had no more heart episodes, although they are worried about long term impacts. For now, everyone is just waiting for their Alpha to wake up. I smile as I feel Sam’s arms wrap around my waist, “Good morning little pup,” he murmurs as his hands hold my still flat tummy. “I am not sure he can hear you yet,” I chuckle. “We do not know that, and I want to be sure he knows my voice when he comes into this world,” Sam says indignantly. I put my hands over his, and simply bask in the glory of being held by my mate. “What are your plans this morning?” Sam asks as he releases me to turn me

Josie POV “I always prefer the hard way,” the cocky bastard replies. “Good enough,” I reply. “What was your mission?” I ask. The man struggles but smiles as he defies my request. He does not realize I had not put a push behind my question. “I said what was your mission when you came here a week ago?” I demand. I see sweat forming on the man’s forehead as he struggles to defy my demand. “We were here for you,” he spits out. “Why?” I ask although I have heard the answer before. “You hold the power; you are the key,” he replies angrily. His face is already red with frustration. “Why take Jenna then?” I ask. He smirks at me, “Because we know you. You would come running and then we would have the healer and the Rogue Queen,” he says with a laugh. “You are so obvious. You are not a team player; you always go off or try to go off on your own. It would only be a matter of time before you would try to trade yourself or simply come to get her and

Josie POV “Who is the leader of this group?” I ask first. “I do not know,” Luna Ashley replies. “How can you not know?” I ask. “They keep erasing my memories,” Luna Ashley replies sounding tormented. “Why?” I ask. “They do not want me to remember who the leader is,” Ashley replies sounding frustrated. “Who erases your memories?” I ask curiously. “The witch; she has the power,” she replies. “Then why do they want me?” I ask confused. “You are the most powerful wolf, Josie. If they get you, they will be able to control all wolves,” she says almost whispering like she does not want anyone to know. Sam is standing beside me, but it is like she does not see him. She is tunnel-visioned on me. “You are so beautiful Josie. I wish things had been different for us,” she says as she bends over in pain once again. “Why?” I ask. “Because I always wanted to be your mom. You and Eric were my first pups,” she says with tears in her eyes. “

Josie POV “Oh my Goddess,” Jenna whispers. I nod, “Yes, the chip in my brain. I know we are not the only ones who know about it,” I reply as I look to Sam. Sam looks like his heart is in his mouth. “Too fucking bad. Nobody is digging around in your brain trying to retrieve information from it. I do not care who it fucking incriminates,” Sam swears. “No but it would be a lot easier if I were dead now, wouldn’t it?” I ask him. Shaking his head, Sam pulls me into his lap, and I let him. It saddens me to think this could be the missing key to what everyone is looking for. Everyone around the room is looking at us with sadness reflected in their eyes. “What if there was a way to access the data without you dying?” Miranda asks. “Well, that would be a hell of a lot better than the alternative,” Jack says tightly. There is a high level of tension in the room. I feel the love of everyone in the room for me and it is overwhelming to know that I
