* Today was the day. I was finally going to become Mrs. Cullen Matthews. Nothing and I mean nothing was going to stop this wedding from happening. Chitto had agreed to perform the ceremony for his long lost nephew. I looked over at the dress hanging in all it's beauty on back of the door. Hemi had outdone herself. I was beyond ready for things to begin. Garrett and Logan had arrived and were planning to stand up for Cullen as his best men. Mikaela and Hemi had my back. Along with Helaku. I had wanted Sadie, but something had came up and Sadie had to go to Louisiana, and I couldn't defraud her that. So Cullen and I had four bride's maids and groom's men. There was a knock on the door and Hemi stuck her head in. * You ready to get your hair and makeup done? Then we can squeeze you into the dress. * I nodded excitedly. * Yes. Where's Mik? * Hemi was pulling out hair supplies. * She's coming. I saw her handing off your flower girl to her father. * I laughed. * He better make sure she keeps her dress clean and her hair in place. * Her eyes widened and she went to the door and pulled it open to a bright eyed Jacy, who was posed to knock. * Mom. Make sure Damon keeps Binks clean and from destroying her hair. Mik and I worked on those curls for two hours. She wouldn't be still. * She laughed and nodded. * I will in a moment. I want to see Ashland first. * Jacy moved inside and took my hands as she approached. * Look at you. You're aura is glowing. A sign that you will be happy in your marriage. Cullen is a good guy. * I nodded. * I've been in love with Cullen my whole life. Since I was 5 years old and saw him at the orphanage. Then he got a foster home and grew up with a brother in Troy. He still came to hang out at the compound in Oregon..but he didn't stay with us often. But I knew he was going to be mine. He’d avoid me as if I had the plague, and we both made a few mistakes along the way, but we found our way. * Jacy patted my shoulder lovingly. * You both deserve this happiness and nothing will go wrong with the wedding. * Something flashed in her eyes, but disappeared quickly. * Now get dressed. We don't have much time and guest are starting to arrive. * Just then Mik stepped into the room. * Jacy, can you help Damon keep Bianca out of the fountain? She's really trying us today. * Jacy laughed and nodded as she headed for the door. * Best of luck, Ashland. * I waved as Jacy left and faced my girls. * Let's get this party started. * They worked mercilessly on my hair and soon had it pinned up and curls hanging in all the right places. I wondered briefly if Cara was here, but squashed my worry over it. I'd wanted Talen to walk me down the aisle. Since uncle Mel wasn't here to do it, but I wasn't going to let my hurt over not hearing from them show on the happiest day of my life. my hair and makeup was finished and I was stepping into my dress. Hemi zipped it up and turned me to face the mirror. I slid into my heels and watched as Mik pulled a stool over and climbed up. She placed my tiara on my head along with the veil. * Oh Ash. You look beautiful. Just stunning. Cullen's going to be speechless. * I laughed and Hemi snorted. * Speechless? You mean swallowing growls at all the men watching her...fighting a hard on. * We laughed at Hemi’s bluntness. * No that's from me not putting out. I am making him wait until tonight. * They giggled and we shared a high five. * And honestly...I'm not sure how I withstood it. I may pull him into a secluded spot at the reception. * We laughed again, but were interrupted by a knock at the door. *

    * I kissed Cullen with everything I had..deepening by sliding my tongue against his...there was a lot of hoots and hollers among our friends and family. Then I heard Garrett.* Save it for the honeymoon....* We ignored his playful tone and savored our kiss. * or not. * I laughed against my new husband's lips and we separated. I swatted at our friend but he dodged. Chitto was chuckling as he grabbed our hands. * I introduce you to Mr and Mrs Cullen Matthews. * We were both grinning. This was the happiest of ever been in my life. Cullen faced everyone. * We'll meet you down at the barn where our reception is set up. * We glanced at Garrett Logan Talen and Cara. * Welcome to the country. * Boisterous laughter came from Talen and the guest started to file out. We were congratulated by some as we awaited for the crowd to diminish. Soon we were in place outside the barn as our guest mingled waiting for us to enter. We had decided to make our entrance and go right into our first dance. Jacy met us at the door..then rushed over to the DJ we borrowed from Skye's club. Georgie introduced us and we stepped into view among cheers. She started the song that we'd picked for our dance; 98° I do Cherish you. Cullen took me into his arms as we both sang the words as we swayed in each others arms around the dance floor. *

    * The wedding was beautiful. I dabbed at my eyes so not to ruin my makeup. Talen and I stood around the dance floor with the rest of their family and friends as they danced their first dance. I squeezed Talen's hand a smile spread across my face. * They finally did it. They found happiness together. * Talen kissed me. * "Bout damn time, for a while there I thought Cullen was going to let her get away." * Everyone clapped as the song came to an end. There were hoots and hollers and Cullen made a big show of dipping Ashland backwards and kissing her. Talen and I laughed. A fast song came on and the dance floor filled up, with the younger crowed. Ash and Cullen moved towards us and motioned a couple over. Cullen spoke. Cara, Talen, I wanted to introduce you to my aunt and uncle. Chitto and Jacy. Chitto and Talen shook hands and I hugged Jacy. She was a beautiful female, kindness and strength radiated off of her. * "We've heard a lot about you. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our nephew. He's a fine strong, stubborn, young man." * We all laughed. * "Hey!" * I whispered to for Chitto and Jacy only to hear. * The stubborn part is a Kayrs thing. "I heard that mate." *Talen wrapped his arm around my waist. * "We we were blessed to have them both in our lives, but we're happy he has finally found his family too."

    * Chitto smiled and slapped me on my shoulder. * He is definitely stubborn, just like his mother. * I rolled my eyes and Ashland elbowed me. * He is stubborn, but that's what I love most about him. * I pulled her closer against me. * That's because it's your wedding day and everything is about love. Come tomorrow, you'll be back to wanting to clobber me. * She winked at Cara and Talen and nodded. * We're going to be doing the buffet in just a few - which is great because I'm starving - and then the party starts. * Ashland did a little dance. * I'm going to be changing before that. I don't want my gown messed up, and these people get crazy when the booze starts flowing. * I laughed and before I knew it, Jacy and Ashland had swooped Cara away with them. Chitto and Talen were deep in conversation and I saw Logan and Garrett. * Sup, loser. * Logan greeted me, leaning back in the chair he sat in. I kicked his foot as I sat down. * I'm mated and married, you're still fucking blow up toys. Who's the loser now? * Logan sat up and we shadow boxed before Garrett stopped us. * You two act like your fourteen, comparing dick sizes. * I snorted. * We already did that. * The three of us started laughing. Bianca raced up to Garrett and he lifted her in his arms. * Hi. * She said to all of us. * Hello, you did a bangin' job tossing those flowers. * Logan held a hand out for her to high five, then he grabbed her nose teasingly. She giggled and the sound had me chuckling with her. Damn, the kid was cute. * You look like your mother. * Garrett told her as he bounced her in his arms. * And you look like a punk. * I busted out laughing. * Acts like Mik too. * Garrett feigned offense. * Where did you learn language like that? * She pointed to Gabriel and I snickered harder. * He says all ya'll are punks. * From the mouths of babes. * Once upon a time, we all were. Your mother included. * Bianca's mouth dropped open. * Ima tell mama. * She wiggled down and took off across the barn where the reception was being held. * Mama! * She called, her curls flying behind her. * Better hurry, Damon is likely to bust your eye for that one, G. * Garrett slipped past us, following Bianca. I gestured for Logan to follow me. * Let's get this reception hopping. * We headed towards Georgie, the DJ. Damn, I loved a good party. *

* Once +Loretta Blackstone told me what she needed I got up and left. Julian handed me his car keys and +Takahiro Yanahi DPI followed me out of the conference room. I was on the verge of losing it, my baby sister was missing. Taken by a witch and I had no idea why they would even want her. The thought's going through my mind of what might be happening to her were dark. I feared for her. I hurried down the hall and burst through the front door of the police station. I needed fresh air and solitude, I knew I couldn't hold myself together much longer. * "Kimiko, yamero." {Kimiko, stop.} * I stopped, but refused to turn around, tears slid down my face and I was ashamed that I was so weak at this moment. Taka turned me gently and pulled me against his chest, slipping the car keys from my hand. Wrapping his arms around me, he let me cry. * "Watashitachiha kaiyo o mitsukerudeshou, watashi wa yakusoku shimasu." {We'll find Kaiyo, I promise."} * I wrapped my arms around his waist. His gentle voice, embrace and his scent helped to calm me. I looked into my mate's eyes. * Why would they want her, Taka? Do you think that Senichi could be behind this? * My mate seemed to think for a minute. * "You and I know Senichi best. We could guess his next move in any situation and act on it before he even had to say anything. He knows he's gonna have to do something that we would never consider. I'm not saying he is behind this, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is." * I nodded, I knew he was right. Taka kissed me. * "Let's get to the house and get what Miss Blackstone needs." * I slipped into the passenger side of Julian's car and tried to pull myself together as Taka drove us to the house. *

* Raechel Hadrian​​ was finally sleeping as I quietly dressed and left the house. I had to deal with Mia before I dealt with the females of the pack. I was still furious, but everything with Jordan McCormick​​ overshadowed it. I still needed to tell Mikaela Kieschnick​​. Maybe I'd call Damon Kieschnick​​ first. Let him decide the best way to tell her. She'd taken to Jordan right off the bat and I think Jordan had loved Mik too. I kicked the truck engine over and rubbed my hands together. It was cold and the sky was just turning a bright orange in the eastern sky. I didn't relish the tasks ahead. I put the truck in gear and headed into town. We didn't have a large police department. It was a few offices for Slade Michaels and Cole Ross, the other enforcers were directed by them. Slade and I had talked about bringing Vincent Gaines on, but it hadn't gotten any further when we were called to help Bianca. Now that the females had pulled the stunt they did, he may not stick around long enough for me to offer him the position. We had eight holding cells, each one made with reinforced silver. They stayed empty most of the time with the exception of a drunk or two needing to sleep off their drink. I parked in the space designated for me and made my way inside. * Alpha. * Bernice ran the front desk and she greeted me with a smile. * Good morning, Bernice. * She stood up. * You look tired, sir. * She handed me the file on Mia. This was a small town, she knew why I was here. I flipped through the contents. * Its been a long two weeks. * I told her as I made sure everything was in order. * Who's running the morning shift? * I asked, closing the file. * Stretch and Monty. * They were relatively new trainees, but Slade and Cole had trained them well. * Thank you. * I nodded as I slipped past her. Stretch was working the radio system we had in place and I nodded to him as I made my way towards the basement and the holding cells. Monty guarded the door leading down. * Good morning, Alpha. * He opened the door for me. * Thank you, Monty. * He nodded in return. * Good luck with that one, Sir. * I headed down the stairs, the air growing colder. I stepped down the corridor and she was in the first cell to the left. I typed in the code and a small section of the silver bars opened, allowing me to step inside her cell. She sat up when they slammed closed. She smelled like day old booze and her make up was smeared. She stood up and made her way over to me. * Alpha Beck. * Her voice was anything but respectful. * I'd hoped you would come and see me so we could sort this misunderstanding out. * She stepped close enough to run her fingers up the arms of my jacket. She shivered. * Such big muscles. * Her eyes met mine. * Maybe we can work out a deal, hm? * Her fingertips grazed my neck and jaw and for the first time in my life, I wanted to throttle a female. I shoved the file folder between us. * For starters, seducing me will do nothing but get you killed. My mate would have your head. Secondly, we'd both suffer the mating rash. And last, I would rather be dragged behind a truck, over broken glass then continue to be this close to you. * Rage darkened her eyes. * You're a son of a bitch! * Her hand flew up to slap me and I caught her wrist. * I can be. Why don't we find out just how big of a one? * She jerked away from me. * I don't understand why you're so mad at me. Why I'm to blame. I didn't do anything wrong! * She sat on the bed in a huff. * So, you didn't steal drugs from Dr. Tukami? * She was silent. * And you didn't meet Jules and my mate to give them the drugs you didn't steal? * Her eyes snapped fire as they met mine. * Or, you did do all those things, but dont want to admit it. I find it difficult to believe that you did this for the females out of the kindness of your own heart. * I opened the file that I had. * You attempted to seduce the doctor, your boss and was fired for it. I see you lived here during O'Donnells reign of terror. Your mother left with some rogue shifter. You stayed behind with your father. * She moved from the bed. * I know my life's story. I dont need you narrating it. * She tried to snatch the folder from me. I didn't allow it. * And I dont need someone of your calibre in my pack. * That got her attention. * What do you mean? * I shrugged. * Exactly what I just said. I'm banishing you, Mia. * Tears filled her eyes. * Beck...I mean, Alpha, sir....please. * I steeled myself against her pleas. * I don't trust you. In fact, you attempted to seduce me, which means you will stop at nothing to get what you want. I have yet to determine what exactly that is. But its detrimental to my pack. And I will not allow it. * She was sobbing now. * I just wanted Julian. I just wanted him to love me! * I shook my head. * He doesn't feel the same, Mia. The last female like you caused a lot of hurt as well and she almost killed members of my pack. I cannot stand by and let this happen. I will not. You broke trust. And you crossed the line thinking you could seduce me. * She hit her knees. * Alpha, please! Give me another chance! I will stay away from Julian! I'll do anything, ANYTHING to make this right. Just please, don't banish me!! * I shook my head as I gave the signal to be let out. * You'll be escorted out tomorrow morning. You will have exactly two hours to pack and clear out your things. * She was still sobbing. * Where will I go? * I stepped out of the cell. * I don't know, Mia, nor do I care. But you won't be here. And I shouldn't have to tell you that if you attempt to come back to McGregor land, you'll be killed on the spot. * I slammed the bars closed. * I hope that you take this chance and become a better person. Perhaps find a pack that will accept you. * She hit the bars, screaming. * I don't need you or your fucking pack! I didn't act alone! And everyone knows that the only reason you won't banish the others is because of who they mated and your mate is one! * I growled. * You know nothing of what I will do. Don't push me, Mia. It's too easy for me to have you executed. And it'd be supported. * I left her screaming behind me as I made my way back upstairs. I was due to meet with Jules, Meghan and Chloe in an hour. I wanted to be done with this whole thing so I could move on. I had bigger issues to deal with and this was just pissing me off. I left Mias file for Cole to finish up and then headed to my office for round two. *

* I finished checking in at the front desk then sat down next to Caiden Bauer​. I was nervous. I worried about what they would find today.

I worried that Gabriel Jericho​ was going after Quinn Cooper​. I just wanted to be tucked inside of Ama Maes bed and breakfast with Caiden. My leg bounced as anxiety pumped through my veins. "Im looking for a more permanent living situation." His hand settled just above my knee, stopping the nervous bouncing. My eyes met his. "Really?" My hand closed over his, my heart pounding. "Yes, really. I want to be with you." "I want to be with you, too." He leaned over and kissed me. "It's going to be okay, Gina. I can feel it." "You're a mind reader." I accused softly, tasting his lips. "Only yours. Let's find a place together. Somewhere Kristen and I can work from too." "Alright, I don't have a job yet, but I have money." "I'm not worried about that....
