* The doctor had stepped out of the room where Matre Blogis​ lay. He looked as if he had just stepped out of the nineteenth century with his fine haberdashery and top hat. The medical bag he carried was just as old fashioned. I sat in the front room of the hotel suite, swirling bourbon in a crystal glass. * How is he? * I asked the doc as he set his bag down to polish his wire rimmed spectacles. I think he wore those for dramatic effect, because vampires didn't need fucking glasses. * He is in awful shape. I have stitched up what I can. He is still restrained because he's quite dangerous in this state. He is unable to heal himself due to the loss of blood he suffered. * I nodded. * We should continue to have a host feed him? * He sure as hell wasn't feeding from me anymore anytime soon. * I have some contacts at a local blood bank. It would serve you best to have bags on hand and administer intravenously as Mr. Blogis is unable to control his more basic instincts. I will have some delivered within the hour. * I nodded. * And a bill for services rendered? * I asked, knowing this was most definitely not a call out of the goodness of his heart. * I shall see that it too is sent with the blood. * I stood and shook his hand before moving to check my phone. I don't know why I bothered. Beatrix wouldn't care if I never came home. And Jake Craven​ hadn't responded to not one of my texts. My first in command, Nevis, had kept me apprised at the happenings back home. Nothing much to be concerned with. Well, other than the Queen of the Realm delivering the King his much anticipated heir. I should send a congratulatory gift. Perhaps something to help welcome the child. I would ponder that. I leaned against the door jamb to the king suite of the hotel. Matre was frail in the large bed, his wrists and ankles restrained by thick leather straps. His eyes were sunken and his skin looked thin and translucent. His lips had no color and if I wondered if this all had been for naught. * You know you had to. * I heard my bodyguard, Taz, murmur from behind from me. * Jake would want closure. A body. Something. * I knew he was right. * Bolshevik will come for all of us. * I warned, knowing this would never have a happy ending. * Let him come. We are ready. * Taz was too confident. * I hope we are ready. * I had a kingdom to rule. People who counted on me to keep them safe. * A delivery will be made shortly. Blood for Matre. See to it that it is safe and not tampered with. Trust no one. * With that, I made my way to the shower to wash off the battle and try to relax. *

    No! The blood was removed or stopped or something happened that displeased me. I couldn't taste it any more. Why, oh why were they doing this? Sweet torture. It had to be. First beat me and then tease me with a desirable taste. The nails on my fingers bit into the palm of my hand, but I didn't care. The pain helped me or so I imagined as I opened my mouth as wide as I could and shouted! "More! More! Don't take it away!" Yes I was begging and didn't give a rats ass. My thirst seemed like it was never going to be quenched. A pain torn through my left cheek. Burned flesh assaulted my nostrils. I hissed through clenched teeth and glared at the maniac who showed me the tip of the hot poker he just branded my flesh with. I saw the smoke rise out of my skin from the corner of my eye. "Do it again!" I growled like a fool. Only this time the hot fiery point was pressed into my upper chest. Tilting my head back I let out a deafening scream of pain.

    * The scream of pain had me shooting up in the chair I sat in. Matre thrashed on the bed, the sound leaving his mouth one of complete horror. He wasn't in the same realm as the rest of us - his mind obviously reliving his captivity. I grabbed a new blood bag and hooked it back to the catheter. It slid along the rubber tubing and disappeared within Matre. It took a few seconds before he calmed down but he did. I sat back down. I wasn't a goddamn nurse. I scrubbed a hand down my face. Being back in Russia had really knocked me for a loop. I guess it should have seeing as how I'd stolen Bolsheviks mate. I wonder how ol' Beatrix would feel being mated to that animal. I didn't do it for her anyways - I did it for me and the alliances it would give me. But if I were honest, I most likely had saved her from a miserable fate. Not that she appreciated it. I leaned my head back. I didn't have the time nor the inclination to be thinking about these things. I had a kingdom to rule for God's sake. Matre needed to get his ass in gear and get better. We had shit to do. *

    As the pain seemed to subside I couldn't help but smile. The bastards were not going to get the best of me. I would escape or die trying before I ever and I mean never ever would I tell them anything about +Dayne Blogis and his domain or become their training adviser. Their hell hole could burn into ashes for all I cared. Just because I was a master of torture didn't mean that I didnt feel extreme pain. I could hold out forever. Dayne would be so fucking proud of me. I knew he put up with a lot of my shit but the male new I was loyal as fuck. Just like I was to my mate +Jake Craven. Damn, I missed the shit out of him. It was so hard to think about Jake. He was my everything. But I couldn't utter a word about the boy for fear they would hurt him. He was still innocent to me and didn't deserve to ever enter war. Smiling to myself as I imagined his sweet kisses. My pet would do anything for me and now it was my time to do for him, therefore I would never admit to these assholes who my mate was. Jake was my little secret as long as I lived in captivity.

* 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....
