    Fuck! Why did she have to go there? I pulled her closer to me, making sure not to hurt her. Her eyes widened as she waited for me to answer. Well, last I heard they were holding their own. I know Beck has been getting updates but I haven't heard the latest one yet. She tried to sit up but I held her down.* "Let me go Vincent. I need to find out about Tyler and Meghan." What the Fuck? Did she really think I was going to fucking let her up when she almost died? Stop it! I didn't mean to tell but she was trying to leave me and my alpha nature was getting the better of me. She turned to face me and I saw tears in her beautiful eyes. I felt like the biggest ass in that moment. I'm sorry, little wolf. Please stay and rest. Beck is resting but I'm sure once he is up and moving he or one of the others will give us an update. She fell back on the pillow, her body giving out on her. "I need to know how they are." And you will. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "What's wrong with me? I feel strange." I think it's the vampire blood... Her eyes snapped open and she stared at me. "What are you talking about?"

    What are you talking about? * He sighed and ran his hand over my hair and caressed my cheek. * "If, Morelo wouldn't have given you his blood. I would have lost you. You'd lost so much blood." * I could feel his pain, I knew he told the truth. * Will there be any side affects? I mean, I'm a wolf shifter. I've never heard.... * His eyebrows went down. It was like what he had to say was going to be hard. * "Vampire blood has many healing elements in it. That's why they use it to heal their mates or family. Not something that they just broadcast, but the word has gotten around. * The statement confused me, I wasn't family. Vincent must have been able to read my mind. He ran his hand down his face, frustrated. * "You really don't remember. Chloe, baby. Ricky isn't your dad. Morelo is." * I shook my head no, but deep down, I felt it. I knew he was telling the truth. * What? How?

    Where to begin? I thought about it for a moment, trying to get my words in order. Well, from what Morelo said, he and your mother were involved. Her eyes widened and she sucked in a breath. "No, that can't be right. I would have known. Right? She would have told me, right?" Chloe moved back from me and I let her go. According to Morelo, your mom was trying to leave Ricky. They had made plans to get you and your mom away from him. But he killed her before she could leave. Ricky didn't know you weren't his and we think hearing that drove him to shoot you. Chloe day up shakley swinging her legs off the bed. I stood and moved around the room to stand in front of her. "When can we go home? I just want to go home."

    * I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was hurt, angry, disappointed. Vincent gently grabbed my arms. * Chloe, you need to stay in bed and heal. I'm sorry, but going home right now isn't an option. * I can't stay under the same roof with a guy who knew he had daughter, but never tried to contact her. He's no better than Ricky. * I was on the verge of hysterics. What kind of man does that. Ricky put me through hell. Vincent growled low and my spine straightened. * "I almost lost you Chloe! You will not be going anywhere until Morelo's doctor give's you the okay to travel." * My eyes watered and he gentled his voice wrapping his arms around my waist he kissed my forehead. * "You have no idea, how close I am to snapping. Ricky is locked up. I can't believe that Morelo knew and didn't do anything. I just need you to heal and I'll fly you home the minute I get the okay." * I bit my bottom lip and nodded. * You said Ricky was locked up. What about JB? He was in on this too. * Vincent pushed a lock of my hair behind one ear. * As soon as JB served his purpose, his luck ran out too. We found him shot to death inside your car. * I gasped and the tears rolled down my cheek. JB was an ass, but I'm not sure he deserved to die. The only man that I knew as my father, wasn't really my father and I suffered so much pain from his abuse. And then the male that was my father, didn't even have the balls to stand up for me and seek me out. My stomach grumbled and I wiped away the tears. * "You need food." * I shook my head and looked around the room. * No. I just need to use the restroom and then go back to bed.

    I nodded then helped her to the bathroom. Her steps were shakey but I could feel her getting stronger. Do you want to shower? I went to a store and picked up something for you to wear and the toiletries you like. Chloe smiled up at me and sighed. "I love you! Yes I'd love a shower." A chair sat under the large window in the bathroom and I helped Chloe sit. Give me two minutes to get your things. She nodded as she sat back in the chair. I went back in the bedroom and grabbed the phone. I didn't give a fuck what she said. If she wanted to get out of here and go home she needed to eat. I ordered something to eat then grabbed everything she would need and headed back to my mate. Come on little Wolf, let me take care of you. I helped her undress and then she releaved herself. Turning on the shower I undressed and helped Chloe inside. She moaned as the hot water slid over her body. I held her against the shower wall, washing her body, then her hair. "This feels wonderful. Thank you for this." Anything for you, love. It took a while but I did it. I rinsed away the soap and shampoo before turning off the water. Helping her out of the shower I grabbed three towels, wrapping one around her and sitting her back in the chair. Wrapping one around my hips, I dryed her hair with the last. Once her hair was dry I helped her stand and we headed for the bedroom. I opened the door and the room smelled of bacon and eggs. Chloe's stomach growled and I looked down at her. Let's eat and get you back to bed.

    * Vincent helped me over to the small table with two chairs. On top sat two covered dishes, with a small glass of juice, milk and assorted jelly. We both sat down and Vincent took the covers off the plate. There were eggs, bacon and a couple slices of toast. * This looks and smells fantastic. * Vincent agree'd. * "Eat up, little wolf. Because you can't leave this place until you're strong enough and well enough. Which means you need to eat protein." * I rolled my eyes, Vincent growled and I couldn't hold back my laugh. Picking up my fork, I took a bite of egg. The taste was bland, but my belly grumbled for more, so I took a bite of bacon and moaned. It was delicious. * Thank you for ordering the food and I'm sorry I got snippy with you earlier. * Vincent grinned. * "Mate, you can get snippy with me all you want. You just keep that fire in you when it comes to dealing with Morelo. I'd like to tell you he's a good male, but he really isn't." * I nodded. For a second I let that bother me. Every girl want's to have a daddy she can look up to. It seems I fell short of that twice. * I don't even care. You're the only male I need in my life. * I spread some jelly on a slice of toast. * "We need to talk about Ricky." * I looked up at Vincent. If I never hear his name again I'll be perfectly fine. * "Do you want to see him again, before he dies?" * I swallowed my toast and shook my head. * No, I never want to see him again. I never want to think of him again. I owe him nothing and he deserves to die. * Vincent nodded. I had almost finished my plate, but lost my appetite thinking of him. I wiped my mouth and put the napkin on my plate, relaxing back in my chair. * I'm stuffed and feeling drained. * Vincent had already finished his food. Picking me up in his arms he carried me to the bed. * Let's get you back to bed, love. * Setting me on my feet, he slipped the towel off and slid a soft gown over my head and arms. * "As much as I'd like to have you naked, I don't know who may show up or when." * He helped me lay down and covered me up, I looked at the time. It was five o'clock in the morning, I felt like I'd slept for days but was still so easily worn out. Walking around the bed I could hear him rummaging around and then the room went dark, Vincent slipped into bed behind me. He snuggled close resting one large hand on my hip to not hurt me. The warmth of his body and the sound of his beating heart lured me towards sleep. My eyes got heavy and closed easily. * I love you. * Vincent kissed me. * "Rest well, mate. I love you too."

* 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 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."
