* I steadied the small the aircraft against an updraft of wind as I flew Gina-Leigh Jericho​ and Caiden Bauer​ towards Anchorage, Alaska. Caiden sat in the co-pilot seat and Gina sat in the back. She had been silent the whole flight so far - which was unlike Gina. I smiled when I thought about how excited Bronwyn Jericho​ had been to get rid of Catherine for awhile. Gillian would be going home soon and would need our mother's help. My mate had been downright giddy at the prospect. It felt odd not being apart of Bianca's search party, but Joel had insisted that I continue on with this flight plan. Gina had rescheduled once already and she needed to be checked out. She seemed to be in more pain lately. I had every intention of making a trip to Talkeetna and meeting with my good ol' buddy Quinn Cooper​. The bastard. Caiden would stay with Gina no doubt, so I felt comfortable handling this piece of the business on my own. * Doing alright back there, Gina Leigh? * I asked, looking back at her in the small mirror. Her eyes met mine and I could see the apprehension in them. * I'm fine. * She'd been spending more time with Caiden. I sized him up as we flew, knowing that he was taken with my sister. And she seemed to be taken by him too if her silly little calf eyes were any indication. * She doesn't seem fine to me. * I muttered to Caiden. Gina cut her eyes at me. He smiled, his eyes traveling to my sister. I still didn't like it. I didn't know this guy and Gina had terrible taste in men. * I think she's nervous. * He responded. * I think she is about to crack both of your skulls for talking about her like she isn't here. * Her voice raised an octave at the end of that statement. * Better get back there and deal with that. * I gestured my head towards my sister. * The lava is heating at this point. * Caiden snickering as he unbuckled and moved back to Gina. *

* Tanner McCloud​ and I made our way along the small town of Alexandria where I was from. We had visited the art museum and the cemetery. I spoke with folks I hadn't seen in years. It was shocking to me how far I'd come in such a short amount of time after being abducted. I had Tanner to thank for that. I grabbed his hand as we stood in line at a food truck serving po'boy sandwiches. The Red River was dotted with boats. Tanner kissed my cheek and I smiled up at him. * I love you. * He kissed me again and then it was our turn to order. We made our way to a nearby bench and sat down with our sack of food. * What are we going to do about Xavier? * I asked, unwrapping my sandwich. * Kill him. Skin him. Make a purse or something. * Tanner mumbled around a bite of food. I laughed at the thought, sinking my teeth into the soft, buttery bread. * I have plenty of purses. * Tanner grinned. * Well, remember that the next time you and Hemi go shopping. * He winked and I rolled my eyes. * Maybe we should approach the sheriff. Get a warrant. * Tanner squinted out over the water. * On what grounds? Its been over a decade since you disappeared. We have no proof. * I sat up on the bench. * We have to get in his house, Tanner. Thats where she would be. * My patience had reached its end. * We'll come up with something, Sadie. * I wrapped up the rest of my food and stuffed it into the brown bag. * When, Tanner? When? * He ran a hand through his hair. * Lets go back and speak with Virgil. See if he knows of anyone willing to help. * I agreed. It didn't take long for us to make our way back to my aunt and uncles. The evening was hazy, the heat of the day laying thick around us. I was being a child, but I couldn't help it. Not knowing what had happened to Mamere left me hopeless. Josephine was just finishing up supper as we came in the door. The news was on and Virgil was watching it, his feet on the small coffee table. * Hello. * He called out. I waved, heading into the kitchen. * What smells so good? * I asked, standing next to my aunt. * Catfish, baby. I got cucumber salad chilling, some cornbread in the oven and shortcakes for dessert if'n the cream will whip up in this heat. * Tanner was talking to Virgil as I moved to set the table. Josephine set her special sauce out; a combination of different flavors for fish. My mouth watered despite our stop at the food truck. I moved to pour tea, my ears straining to hear what the men were saying. *

* The room was dark except for a small lamp in the corner. It put off a soft intimate glow. The place was unfamiliar, but the scent of sunshine and the ocean blanketed me. So I knew I was safe. +Vincent Gaines​ snored lightly beside me, his body heat keeping me warm. Rolling onto my side, I winced at the discomfort. I faced Vincent, my eyes wandering down his face. He had a strong, masculine, handsome face. * "Like what you see, mate?" * Smiling, I leaned in to give him a kiss. * I wasn't sure if I was ever going to see your handsome face again. * Vincent opened his eyes, staring into mine. * "How are you feeling?" * Worry lines creased his forehead, I thought for a minute. * I'm sore and my blood is thrumming through my veins. It's almost like an electrical current. I've never felt like this before. * I was sure I was the one with creases in my forehead now. I whispered. * Tell me what happened? I'm trying to remember but my mind in a jumbled mess. * A growl rumbled from my chest. * Ricky drugged me. * A memory of +Meghan Danvers​ and Tyler getting shot, played through my mind. * Oh Gawds! Meg? Tyler?

*I got a call from +Ian Holder​ letting me know Meghan had woken up and aside from a sore throat, she was doing great. I called the clinic for an update on Tyler our Enforcer and Dr. +Julian Takumi​ let me know he was better and going home soon. I thanked him and made some more calls to set up a food delivery for Tyler and his family once he was home. I ordered a fruit bouquet for Meghan and Ian as well, just something to let them know we were thinking of them. Now, after getting Thomas bathed and in bed, with Raja by his side, I poured myself some wine and dialed +Beck Hadrian​ cell phone. It rang a few times and I was ready to leave a voicemail when he answered. He sounded tired and damn..I missed him so much I almost teared up but, I held it in check. He didn't need to worry about me missing him through all of this. * Hi babe! I've got some good news, if you have time to talk..

I love you, my master! “And I you, my pet.” Smiling he kissed him softly and cuddled into his lap. I say tonight we let Tim handle the club and we go out. I know how much you love to torture Tim but you get me for the whole night. I believe that beats anything. Yes? His master chuckled and nodded his head. "You know I love spending time with you. What would you like to do tonight? Anything you want.” Jake grinned Let’s go to out to eat and then go catch a movie. I want to catch the new Pirates movie with Johnny Depp. He is so incredibly sexy. Master growled. "I’ll show you sexy pet.” Jake laughed, but his master has a hold of him and was tickling him. Squirming he tried to get away but could not. O-ok.. Okay.. You win. You are just the sexiest man alive in the universe! His master growled more, but stopped tickling him and smiled. Jake was breathing hard and winked at him. I’ll go get ready. Smiling at his master, he leaped up and left to get ready. Master is this alright for the movie? Jake waited but heard nothing. Master? Coming out the walk-in closet, he frowned Master, where are you? Searching the house he could not find him. Frowning, he moved into the room and sat on the bed. Looking around the room everything came back to him. “Jake! Jake! Jake! Wakies up, Jake! Jake sat up fast, his upper body was wet from perspiration. Looking around, he took in his surroundings and knew that was merely a dream. Feeling little hands shaking his arm, he looked down seeing Hope. She was smiling up at him. Clearing his throat, he smiled back. Hi, Hope. “Jake, yous is up!” She bounced and clapped her hands together. She climbed up on the bed and sat there.* Yes, I am up. Checking the clock it was seven thirty. Are you ok? Where is your mommy? Hope pointed out the door “Mommy food.” He chuckled It smells good. She nodded her head. “We go playings now?” She smiled more and Jake could not help but grin at her. How about after breakfast we can go to the park. Does that sound good? She clapped her hands Yes! Yes! Yes! She bounced on the bed “Hope!” Janie called out for her. She is in here Janie. “Mommy, I hear Jake.” Hope called out. Janie popped her head in “Jake. I'm so very sorry. I did not know she was going to get in here and wake you up.” Hope pointed “Jake ups mommy." Jake chuckled It’s okay. I am used to being wakened up by Drake when he stays over. Hope looked at Jake. “Dake?” Janie came over to pick up Hope Drake is a little boy your age. She gasped “We playings? Mommy me playings with Dake?” Jake looked at Janie Err.. I will speak to your daddy about that. Hope nodded and pushed on her mommy's my chest till she put her down, she raced off. “Jake, I’m still sorry she woke you up. On a good note, Maxim and Malina can stop pacing the house. They wanted to come check on you, but they didn’t want to wake you up. Jake laughed Will you tell them I will be out in a few? Need to wake up fully. Janie nodded. I will. She smiled and left the room, shutting the bedroom door. Jake looked around and wiped his face. Looking at the other side of the bed, he sighed and went to get ready.

* After talking to Caiden and Gina I slammed into Seth Masterson's office and slammed my hands on his assistant's desk and she jumped. * I need to talk to Seth. * She raised a brow. * Is he expecting you? * I rolled my eyes and huffed a breath. * He'll see me. Tell him its Kristen Bauer. We work together sometimes. * I was about to go off on the stupid birch, but a deep voice drew my attention. * I'll see her Amanda. Nice of you to drop by, Kristen. * Seth's eyes roamed over my body and I l st him look his fill. He'll I was looking my fill. Seth was a sexy mofo, and he knew it. He smirked and approached me. * You could have called. * I shrugged. * I was in the area and Caiden wanted me to talk to you, but I was coming to see you anyway. * I glanced at his assistant and saw her giving me a death glare. I wanted to laugh cause I'd take her ads out. Seth was probably fucking her. I'd play it off. I approached Seth and her flashed his white teeth at me in a grin that said he knew what I was doing. * Oh really. What about? * I motioned to his office. * Can we talk privately? * He sighed. * I have a client meeting in about five minutes. Then I'm booked til five this evening. Can we meet then, say 5:30 or 6? Maybe have dinner? * He looked hopeful. Well he'd been asking me out for about 6 months now, but I glanced at my watch. It was just now noon. I sighed. * Sure. Dinner works. I was planning to hit the road this afternoon. Got a long drive, but I guess I can hold off a day.* He frowned* Long drive? * I patted his chest. * I'll explain at Dinner. * He nodded and cupped my face. * Fair enough. I'll text you the place. * I waved my phone at him and he smiled. I turned toward the door, ignoring the bitch behind the desk. I snapped my fingers. * Oh and make it 7. If I eat too early I'll be hungry again at bedtime. * He grinned and agreed. I winked and headed out the door. What the fuck was I doing flirting with a colleague? I snorted...Thank god Caiden was in Washington or I'd never live it down. *

* My carry along bag drapped over my shoulder; I pulled my suit case behind me and stared at Cullen’s was as he pulled his behind him. Damn he was fine as he'll and all mine. I still couldn't believe he was my husband now as well as my mate. The man was hard to snag, but once I got him he held on tight. For that I was thankful. * Are you going,g to tell me where we are going? * I could find out if I really wanted to know, but I enjoyed the aspect of a surprise from my mate. He turned. * No. You just sit back and look gorgeous, let me handle everything. * I rolled my eyes, but a smile tugged at my lips. * Did you call Cara yet? * I shook my head. * I was going to when we got to…..* I narrowed my eyes * Barbados? * Cullen smirked. * Nice try, but no. I'm gonna go handle our tickets and passports. Stick close. * I groaned playfully and swatted his ass. * Fine..I'll call Cara...then you can tell me where we're going. * I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my contacts. I swiped the phone symbol and the phone rang, I watched Cullen as he talked to the attendant. Cara answered after the third ring. * Ashland? Why are you calling? You're supposed to be on your honeymoon. * I laughed. * Our flight was delayed till this morning, so we stayed at the Hilton in the honeymoon suite. Though I didn't do much exploration...if you know what I mean. * She laughed. * That good huh? * I giggled and then went into why I was calling. * You guys were too generous with the cash, but Cullen and I are thankful for you all. You're the only family we knew for a long time. So thank you. We made a deposit before we left yesterday...it went into the future planning account. We wanted to know how much we appreciate you big T and G.

* The SUV jarred me and Chloe Cross​ as it bounced over the concrete entrance to what could only be considered a mansion of epic proportions. The land around it was perfectly manicured and the grass was greener than any I'd ever seen. The mansion was made of white stone and I prayed there was a damn hospital on premises. Chloe wasn't fairing very well. As soon as the SUV pulled up to the front steps, the doors were opening and we were surrounded by security guards. Morelo was short as he growled out orders. I held tight to Chloe. Morelo wasn't a good guy depsite the situation we were currently in. * Ballast! Get Dr. Pinkerton here now! * I watched as a man moved to do his bidding. I climbed out of the SUV holding Chloe. * Is there somewhere we can take her? * Morelo gestured a woman forward and I followed her inside. I didn't have much time to look around but what I did see was a home of high taste. The room I was led to was small, but clean. I laid Chloe on the small cot. * Get some hot water and clean towels. * I had no idea beyond that what I was doing. Morelo came in then. * The doctor is on his way. * My mind raced with the different things we could do. I stood up. * You're a vampire? * Morelo nodded. * And Chloe, she's your daughter? * He seemed impatient. * What does this have to do with anything? * I rubbed a hand down my face. * Your blood...it can save her. At least help close the wounds. * He shook his head. * It could kill her! Shes a shifter. * I argued back. * But she's your blood. We have to try! At this point, she'll die anyways if we wait much longer. Just open a vein and feed her. * Morelo looked at me and then at Chloe. * You don't do this, you can explain to Vincent that you're to blame for his mate dying. Because you were too pussy to step up and take a chance! * I was being a dick and I didn't care. Morelo growled, his eyes turning a metallic red before me. His fangs elongated and he bit his wrist. I knelt down, bringing Chloe's head up in support as he maneuvered the bleeding wounds against her blue lips. I used my finger to swipe a few drops across her tongue. * Come on, come on, come on! * I demanded. The door banged open but Morelo and I remained focused. * What the fuck are you doing? * Vincent Gaines​ growled out. * Saving Chloe. * I snapped back, watching as the blood slid down her throat. I moved back as Vincent knelt down beside her, taking over holding her as Morelo let his blood drip down her throat. *

* The sound of voices reached me in the dark first. Tuning in, I could hear the soft sounds of footfalls - one set a little lighter than the other.

* The sound of voices reached me in the dark first. Tuning in, I could hear the soft sounds of footfalls - one set a little lighter than the other. "You looked very pretty in the dress." "My mama picked it." "Your mama is a very smart lady." Rayna rounded the corner then, a child walking beside her. The white dress the girl wore stood out like a beacon in this dark shadow of hell. I stared transfixed as they came closer. I hadn't heard nor seen Rayna since the last time she had come to me. I figured Donas had either murdered her or she was just toying with me as another form of torture. The two stopped close to me; Rayna smirking at me. The child's blue eyes studied my face. I watched as they swirled with amber before staying that way. "Does she look familiar?" Rayna asked me quietly. I moved as far as the chains would allow me. "Bianca." I whispered in awe. She looked exactly like Mikaela, but I could see so much of Damon in he...
"Get out!" * Dom's words and the way he looked at me froze my heart. He was beyond angry. He was wicked pissed off. My hand shook as I fumbled with the door handle. Dom never took his eyes off of me. He growled low and not the sexy growl that made my insides melt like butter no, this was menacing. I got the door open and started to get out but my seat belt held me in place. " Now. Get out now!" I got my seat belt off and got out of the car. I slammed the door shut expecting Dom to drive off but he didn't. It seemed like forever as I stood there. Finally his door opened . As he got out he looked at me. A cold shiver went down my spine. His eyes were so dark and I could see the tips of his fangs. I was scared and rethinking what I did to him. I opened my mouth to say as much but he shook his head slowly and shut his door. He pointed to the front of the car but didn't say a word. I thought about running away but, I knew he'd catch me. I took a deep br...

* I had contacted Morelo in the early hours of the morning. I had convinced him to meet with me despite his hesitancy. Chloe Cross was bound and duct taped in the backseat of the truck. I couldn't trust her to behave. She was fucking nuts. She had exploded into a rage when I taped her up to put her in the truck. She used her head like a motherfucking wrecking ball. Morelo had given me the address to one of his abandoned warehouses. I didn't question his reasons. It worked better for me that way, anyways, trading Chloe to be clear of my debt. I could see her in the rear view mirror, glaring at me as I drove. I didn't care. We were going to be done soon and then I'd never have to see her bitchy face again. I had already decided I was moving to Canada. Way up north in Canada. Where no one fucking knew me. I had a nice ass truck to get me there. JB's money was in my pocket and the only thing I needed now was to be rid of Morelo. I whistled as I drove, and Chloe groaned. I snickered in response. The miles seem to melt as we drove, with me only stopping once for some drinks and food. Chloe didn't want to play by my rules, so she got shit. I didn't care if she never ate again. I was tired of driving and the GPS still had us two hundred miles from where I was supposed to meet Morelo. I turned up the radio as we drove, my mind wanting to think about all the shit I wished to forget. I did drugs to erase my past. I did drugs so I could numb the fucking pain of being worthless my whole life. When I was high, nothing else mattered. I didn't feel the rejection. I didn't feel the hate. I didn't feel anything. My father had been an abusive prick and I could see the similarities between the two of us as I drove. I carried hate. I fed it, I allowed it to burn bright within me. My mother had been a whore. I'd spent most of my childhood in a whorehouse where I watched men use women for their own satisfaction. I had done the same to any female I came in contact with. Jolene thought she could change me. That she could take the very core of me that was twisted and bend it back into shape. She learned that she couldn't change me. She couldn't fix me. I shook my head. Fuck all that. Fuck the past and fuck anyone and everyone who had ever hurt me. We were close to the warehouse and hours of thinking had done nothing but piss me right the fuck off. It was time to dump this situation and move out. *

+Dominic Petrov​ promised me a night out. After our fight and me threatening to leave, him making it clear that I was going nowhere. My bottom hurt for a while after that, and oh, the look in his eyes. I hurt him with my words and I never wanted that. Sighing, I went through my closet and picked a dress. Since we were going out and the weather was getting warmer but, I'd still need a wrap or shawl. I showered quickly, dried off and sat at my vanity to brush out and blow dry my hair. I was putting my brush away when the bedroom door opened and in walked my sexy Demon. * You're cutting it close, love. We have a reservation for tonight, right?
