"Chloe." * I heard his gentle, sexy, deep voice. * "Chloe, time to wake up. We're home, baby." * Smiling, I opened my eyes and looked into his mossy green ones. * But I was sleeping so well. * He rubbed a finger over my cheek and gave me a small smile. * "I know you were, you were sawing logs in your sleep. Even the music wouldn't drown you out, but I bet you will sleep better in our bed." * I giggled. * I was not! * +Vincent Gaines​​​​ chuckled * "Come on let's get you inside." * I stretched, my body was still healing, but the pain had subsided or I got used to it. As soon as I could shift I would completely heal. Opening the door to our rental car, I stepped out and breathed in the fresh cool night air. My eyes wandered over the land, it felt good to be home. We said goodbye to the doctor at the small airport and thanked him for his services. Vincent paid for his rental car and handed him some cash. * "You okay?" * I smiled and stepped into his arms. * Yes! I'm glad to be home and rid of all the drama. * We moved towards the front door. *

  1. The ride into McGregor was a quiet one. After we landed at the airport, I got the two rental cars and paid the doctor. Thank you for accompanying us back doctor. He smiled and nodded as we shook hands. "It wasn't a problem Mr. Gaines. I needed a few days off. Chuckling I pulled Chloe closer into my side as she said her own thanks and goodbyes. I handed the doctor an envelope then lifted my mate into my arms. I had just buckled Chloe in as the good doctor pulled out of the car rental place. "He seemed very nice. I hope we didn't put him out by coming here?" I walked to the drivers side and got in before answering her. No, he is all good. He was happy to help, and he was paid very well. I started the engine and headed for home. About 10 minutes into our ride my little wolf yawned and I chuckled. Why don't you close your eyes and try to rest? I've got you. She smiled up at me then closed her eyes and was asleep within minutes. A few hours later I was stopping in front of our place. My Chloe's light snoring filling the inside of the car. I got out of the vehicle taking in our surroundings as I pulled my phone out of my pocket. Once I was sure everything was safe I used my phone to disengage the alarm system. Opening Chloe's door I called her name. Once she was awake I helped her from the car and we moved to the door. I unlocked it, turning on the lights as we stepped inside. Home sweet home! Are you hungry? I can get you something before we head upstairs. She seemed to think about it for a moment then said. "Don't we have to go shopping? I'm sure everything in the house needs to be thrown out." I grinned down at her and shook my head. I asked Ian to come over and check on things once Meghan was home. He said Raechel and some of the other females had offered to clean up and shop as well as make a few meal for us. Her eyes widened at that. "Really?" Yes, really! "Okay, can you see if we have some fruit? I don't want anything to heavy." Sure think baby. I helped her to the couch then locked the door and setting the alarm system. I headed for the kitchen as I took out my phone. I texted Julian asking if I could bring Chloe in to see him. After that I hit up Ian letting him know we were home and I'd bring Chloe over to see Meghan in a day or two. Once that was taken care of I pulled out a container of fresh fruit and placed some in a bowl. I made my way back to my little wolf and handed her the bowl. Here you go baby!

  2. * Vincent handed me a bowl with grapes, pineapple, honeydew and cantelope and then set beside me. * Nothing for you? "I'm okay right now, but you need the nourishment while your healing." * My mouth watered when the sweet smell of the fruit hit my nose. I took a bite of pineapple, juice ran down my chin and I smiled, everything seemed to taste better and I wondered if that was a side affect of the vampire blood. It was mouth watering. Vincent reached for the remote and flipped on the news. * Thank you....for everything. * Vincent's eyes met mine. * I feel like it's been nothing but constant chaos since we've mated. Dealing with Ricky, then learning that he isn't even my father. Now Morelo is and I'm part vampire. * I shook my head. * My life is a mess. * Vincent squeezed my knee. * "We'll figure things out, Chloe. It won't always be like this. Soon you'll be bored and hoping for some excitement." * I smirked. * I doubt that. I just want you to know how much I love you and appreciate everything you are doing to take care of me.

  3. I pulled her closer into me and kissed the top of her head. I love you, babe. And it's my job to take care of you. I watched the news as Chloe ate. When she was finished the fruit she lay her head on my shoulder and before long I heard light snoring. I grinned down at her as I took the bowl and placed it on the table. I turned off the TV then picked up Chloe and took her upstairs. Heading into our room I pulled back the covers and put her to bed. I removed her shoes then covered her up, kissing the side of her head. Rest love, I'll be downstairs. Going back downstairs I cleaned up and took out one of the dishes the alpha's mate left and put it in refrigerator for later. When I was done I went back upstairs and got into bed with my little wolf. I pulled her close then closed my eyes holding on to the love of my life.

* 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.
