All Chapters of Rescuing the Beta's Mate: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Jessica POV It had been a couple days since the attack. It was like we were being tested. The night of the fight and then the waiting. Nobody had let their guard down. We were all on edge, but knew we had to be diligent. We would not risk losing anyone else. We had buried the warriors we had lost. It had been a difficult experience. Knowing these brave men and women had fought for something they believed in, and had lost, was painful for me. I was the root cause of those deaths, and I was struggling to make peace with this reality. As if sensing my thoughts were going dark, Cole took my hand, “You need to move past this, Jess,” he murmured. “I know but it is easier said than done,” I admitted. He smiled sadly at me, as he understood where I was coming from. “Why don’t they just make their next move, for fuck’s sake?” I exclaimed. Carson, Marly and Cole looked up at me in surprsie. “What?” I asked, embarr

Jessica POV Having had enough of my grandmother, Cole had her taken to the holding cells. She screamed in outrage the entire way, but I did not care. She was a distraction that I did not need. “We need to discuss what we learned with Carson,” Cole said to me. I knew he was right. We needed to be prepared, and this was the first hint we had gotten as to why they were staggering their attacks. We entered the pack house and went directly to Carson’s office. Not surprisingly, Marly was already there with Everly in her stroller. “How is she?” I asked Marly, as we took our seats. Marly smiled, “She is great. It was a big adventure for her,” Marly shared. I smiled; Everly was adorable and I could only imagine what it would be like to have my own little piece of Cole and me. Whoa. Where did that thought come from, I wondered. “What the hell was that attack?” Carson questioned. I cleared my thro

Jessica POV I knew we were taking a chance, but after a lengthy discussion with Carson and Marly, it was agreed we would move forward and go to the location my grandmother had drawn out for us. I looked to Cole as we prepared to leave the packhouse. “Last chance; you can totally back out,” I suggested to him. He looked at me incredulously. “Are you still trying to get rid of me?” he asked with a frown. “I am trying to protect you. To protect this pack. To protect everyone from what might be a set up,” I admitted. “I think we both can agree this is a set-up of some kind,” Cole commented as we excited the building. “What?” I asked, pausing my step. He stopped and turned to look at me, “We cannot trust anything your grandmother tells us. For all we know, your mother is not even alive,” Cole stated. I paused for a moment, processing his comment. “If she is not alive,” I started to say when he

Cole POV I had watched Jessica struggling the past weeks. Dealing with training, pack attacks, and more. She was reaching a breaking point, and I did not know how to help her. With the return of her mother, I did not know how much more she could try and process. “The doctors will look after her,” I promised, as I scooped her mother up gently in my arms. She murmured in pain but seemed to have become accustomed to the discomfort. “I have got you,” I murmured softly, as her mother remained tense in my arms. “Jessica,” she rasped out. Jessica moved forward to stand beside us. “I am here,” she replied. “I am sorry,” she rasped, coughing and allowing us to hear a rattle in her chest. “We need to get her to the pack hospital,” I murmured to Jessica. Her mother’s body tensed in my arms, “No more tests,” she whined. I looked at her confused, while Jessica stepped closer to her. “They will make you

Jessica POV After reassuring Donna that we would be returning to her, I looked at my grandmother. “Are you ready?” I asked her. She growled under her breath, as she finally nodded begrudgingly. “I will do whatever is necessary to protect my girls,” she commented. I did not feel like one of her girls. She was still a stranger to me, but one we needed in order to neutralize the threat. “Who are they?” Cole asked, before we could leave the room. I looked at Donna, her lip quivering. “One is my father,” she shared. I took a step backwards. My own grandfather wanted to harm me. Well, I had to pause. He did not want to harm me. He wanted to capture me for my powers. “The second man is Alpha Matthew’s father,” Susan, my grandmother, shared. “And the third?” I asked. “The third is a man nobody truly knows. He was higher in the Wolf Council, but his identity was never revealed,” Elder Susan con
