* I climbed the steps to home after leaving Skylar Johns​ at work. I was looking forward to a hot shower and some much needed sleep. Things were hectic with Tanner being gone. I'd texted him but hadn't got a response. I unlocked the door and tossed my keys in the basket next to it. I could hear water running upstairs. Sabre Johns​ must have gotten home while I was with Skye. I climbed the stairs to my room when I heard soft sounds coming from the bedroom Sabre used. She was not alone and I had a feeling I knew who was there. No doubt Galen Kieschnick​ was with my sister-in-law. I personally didn't care if they fucked around, but Skye would blow like a volcano if she found out. I tapped a knuckle on the door. * Sabre? I'm home. * I heard soft foot falls and the door opened. She smiled, her face flushed and her hair mussed. Galen sat on the foot of the bed. He raised his fingers in a greeting. Something was off with these two, I could feel it; smell it. My eyes looked between them and then I saw the faint mark on Galen. * What. The. Fuck? * I asked. Sabres face paled. * Now, hold on, Mase... * I shook my head. * Are you kidding me? Listen, Im all for mating, but damn, Sabre, your big sis is going to pop her top. * Galen stood up. * It wasnt on purpose. * I latched on that. * Okay, okay good. Then we can go see Damon, get this removed and then we all might live to see another day. * Galen disagreed. * No. I wanted to mate her. It just happened this soon by accident. * I scrubbed my eyes. Shit. I didn't want to think about these two doing the horizontal mambo. * Okay, look. This cannot happen right now. Skylar just accepted that her baby sis is dating. She finds out you're mated, shes going to lose her shit. Mate later. Right now, we have to fix this. * Sabre shook her head. * No, Mason. No. * I grabbed her shoulders. * Do our lives mean nothing to you? Are you willing to chance this? Because Ive seen Skylar on the war path. I prefer not to be her prey. * My phone rang and I answered it, my mind trying to reconcile how I was going to Skye. * I'm sorry, a what? * Dispatch explained again. * Okay, we're going. * I disconnected. * Gotta an accident scene down at the falls. Want to go?

  1. * I repelled down first, just in case Galen or Sabre got crazy and fell. I slid my grappling hook along the secured line and slid down. My boots hit the sheered face of the rock as I made my way down. Sabre followed suit and then Galen. My feet touched the flat rock of the river bank and I spotted Sabre. I unhooked both of us and once Galen was back on his feet, we made our way over to the car. The summer heat hadn't been kind to the passengers left to rot. I could see kids things strewn about. Sabre gagged beside me. * Step downwind. * I told her. She nodded and did as I suggested. Fuck, I hated dead bodies. Galen was beside me. * What do we do? * I slid gloves out of my back pack and pulled them on, handing Galen pair. I passed Sabre to wrapped bags. * Open those. We're going to need them. * She took them and did as I asked. I knelt down next to the mangled piece of metal. * They're going to be stiff. * Galen remarked. * Probably disintegrate as soon as we touch them. Or explode. And spew us with bodily fluid. * I grimaced as I took pictures of the scene before setting the camera back in my bag. * Where the fuck is the air flight? They could help us. Fuckers. Alright, let's push the truck over, get it right side up. * Sabre was beside me. * It's alright, you don't have to. * I told her. She'd laid the body bags out neatly. * Just give me the gloves the Mason. * I directed her to my back pack and she too gloved up. * On the count of three, push it steady. It's going to bounce, so everyone be ready to move. * I counted to three and we pushed on the SUV's undercarriage. It gave way, saplings snapping under the weight. It slid a bit down the incline before bouncing left and right and stopping. Sabre waved a hand in front of her face to ward off the dust. I moved closer to the bodies to inspect them and the SUV for any evidence I could find. * Sabe, grab the camera from my bag and get some pictures, please. * I had my clipboard and paper and sketched the SUV on it, notating the damage as I did. *

  2. * I stepped over the rocks and took the camera. I snapped picture after picture of the decaying bodies in the vehicle. I tried to push back the emotions that wanted to rise at seeing the two corpses. One was obviously a female and the other a male. I focused the camera lens and caught sight of something along one of the side of the male's head. I stepped closer and mistepped on a stone slipped. Mason and Galen both reached out but I waved them off, my eyes still focused on the body. * Look. Right here. * I pointed to the area and looked up to catch my brother in law's eyes. * This guy was murdered. Look. He was hit here. * Mason closed in and narrowed his eyes. * It could be blunt force from the accident. Let the coroner in Bellingham decide. * I jolted at hearing that. * We're not taking them to the clinic for Damon? * He shook his head. * No. They're human. Besides... Damon and Mik have a lot to deal with right now. * I nodded agreement, but something was off about this "accident." It felt like maybe they were ran off the road, but in the end it was Mason's decision. He was the police in the area. I took more pictures as a helicopter hovered and flew over to find a place to land. Galen looked over at us. * It's the clean up crew. * Mason tugged on the driver side door and it creaked as it opened. I gagged as the smell hit us full force. I covered my nose and mouth with my elbow. I was a confectionery baker not a forensic pathologist. This shit was so not my expertise. Galen stepped over and reached to take the camera, but I shook my head. I agreed to do the job and I would. I pushed my gross factor away and went back to taking photographs. *

  3. * Mason gestured me forward and I moved to help him. Slowly, we eased the male corpse out of the drivers seat and moved to the body bags that Sabre had laid out. Carefully, we eased him down inside the first bag and Mason zipped him up. We moved back to the other corpse - the female - and gently moved her. She had been wearing some type of flowery dress and it hung in tatters. That really shook me. It could have easily been my own Ma, and my own mind flashed with all the times I worried she would be killed by John Luke or Jimmy. We laid her down in the second body bag, what was left of her blonde hair matted around her half decayed face. I zipped the bag up as the air flight crew made their way over. We watched as they picked up the bags carefully and placed them on wheeled stretchers. * We have a wrecker on it's way to retrieve the truck and take it into Bellingham for analysis. We'll send the report to you? * Mason nodded and signed a release for the bodies and where the report should go. I realized standing there that I needed to go home and face my folks. Tell them I had mated Sabre. They deserved to know. I was raised to be truthful and up front. I looked at Sabre and she smiled at me. I loved her so much. We followed Mason back to the rope and hooked up, climbing back up the side of the mountain. Once we were back at the top, I turned to Sabre. * I have to go home and tell my parents. * She swallowed visibly, but nodded. * We need to. Skye too. * I agreed. We made our way over to the Jeep and climbed inside. Mason looked at us both. * Please for the love of God...wait to tell Skye until I get to sleep some. I'm begging you two. * I nodded. * We will. * Sabre snickered as Mason pulled back onto the road to take us back to their apartment above Skye Blue. *

* 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.
