Sam POV I was broken for Jack. His mate, Sarah, was passed out in his arms. And he could do little to help her. The only thing that might help is with the bond between mates he can take some of her pain away or lessen some of the pain Sarah was experiencing. But we needed to get her help right away. I mind-link the warrior I sent out to try and find a vehicle, he replies quickly that he found a few SUVs with keys in them. “Jack, we need to get her to Jenna,” I say to him as I try to help him up. “I can hold her until you are standing,” I offer but he growls at me. Wolves were possessive of their mates and finding his mate in this condition would increase his natural instincts to protect his mate from further harm. Adam and I move behind Jack and put our arms through his arms pulling him into a standing position. He did not release Sarah from his arms. Josie had run to the room she had stayed in and grabbed a blanket so it could be wrapp

Sam POV It bothered me that I could not be honest with everybody. I had tried to speak to Josie, but again I was blocked from speaking. As I walk out of Josie’s room, I see Adam standing outside the room Jenna is in. “Any word on Sarah?” I ask Adam. He shakes his head, “No, only that she has been abused and will take time to heal,” Adam says. “Is she going to heal on her own, or is Jenna going to try and help that?” I ask him. I know he will be anxious. Nobody knows what healing will do to the pup Jenna is carrying. “She is waiting to tell me what she plans to do for her physical body, but she does not know what she can do for the mental scars that Sarah has suffered,” Adam replies. “I have our head warriors working on tracking Tim. Jack is losing his mind knowing Tim is still alive,” Adam adds. I feel a sense of guilt, “I am sorry I was not able to stop him,” I say to Adam shaking my head. Adam looks at me, “I know you tried your best,

Josie POV I laid there after Sam left choking back the tears that threatened to fall. I refused to waste tears on him. He clearly had not wasted any on me. I hated how this hurt. It was easier when I always felt pain, then this would not have seemed different and perhaps would have been less noticeable. I dozed off and on until Doctor Rivers returned to see me. “How are you feeling Josie?” he asks me gently. The way I imagine a caring father would ask his child how they are. “I feel fine now that I am away from that bastard,” I reply honestly. He nods his head. “You are dehydrated but I am happy to advise you have no side effects from the wolfsbane he injected into you. I want to keep you here for another day so I can continue your IV treatment,” he shares with me. I am relieved to hear that news but have a question for him, “If that is the case, why have I not heard from Alexis, my wolf?” I ask him cautiously. Doctor Rivers looks at me

Josie POV I sat there considering what Jenna had shared with me. My mother had been within my fingertips and now she is dead. There is nothing of her to share with me her thoughts or feelings about her situation. I knew she had to have hated the situation she had been in. She had to have hated me and my brother. But I could not help but wonder what she would have said had she been alive. I felt a lone tear travel down my cheek as I considered everything. I could not feel the joy Jenna felt yet. I knew I would get over it. I had never known the woman and I could only believe I knew how she felt. I hoped I could be happy to have her as a half-sister … or sister as she preferred to think. As I sat there feeling sorry for myself, I heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Jenna, I sighed before reluctantly saying “Come in.”. I looked down at my lap for a moment before looking up. I was shocked to see Sam standing in front of me. “What a

Adam POV I walked with Jenna up the stairs. It worried me when she healed someone but more so now that she was expecting our pup. I could not believe we were having a little girl. Our own. It scared me sometimes knowing that I would be responsible for a small pup. I worried about Jenna having to go through delivery of our pup – the thoughts of her suffering made me nauseous. I am sure it was something most new parents went through, and I was no different regardless that I was the Alpha of our Pack. I carried Jenna into our suite and directly to our bedroom. I laid her down gently on the bed as she turned into me, pulling me down with her. I needed to call Miranda back right away. I needed my Beta back and not having to worry about him being swayed by Lana. I have no idea who Lana really is, and I wonder if Alpha Lucas does. Was he a part of the deception that surrounded Lana? I wrapped my arms around Jenna, and she sighed in relief. I
