* I snuck over the border of Xavier's property. I leaned against a tree and peaked around for any of his goons and felt a tingle go over my skin. The sisters had finally cast my body under a protection and invisibility spell and I was grateful for that. I needed to get inside the house and find my mate. The cost was clear and I ran across the grass and leaned against the side of the house. I closed my eyes and tried to blend into the shadows when I heard talking, then Josiah came into view walking with a guard. * We got my sister back and the other three won't stand a chance, now. *_ Sister?_ I frowned as the guard replied but his voice drifted off as they got further away. * So Xavier broke the mating? * Josiah huffed and said something I couldn't quite make out. Shit. Can he break that without the serum. Even then the party has to really want it to work. I groaned and cleared my mind, so I could find Sadie. If the mating fades, then we'd just have to remate. Either way she was legally my wife. I made my way around the side of the mansion and stopped in front of a rose trellis. There was a thorny rose bush running up the side. I looked up and grinned at the balcony doors opened above me. I gripped the trellis and quickly pulled myself up and climbed to the balcony. I silently swung myself up and could hear talking and then I looked inside and nearly crumpled as my heart was ripped from my chest. Sadie's mouth was moving in a sensual kiss against Xavier's. But then she pushed away suddenly screaming in agony. She fell to her knees. * The mating allergy! It burns. It burns. I thought you negated the mating..you lie to me Xavier. You lie.

  1. * I watched the wolf as he sailed past me, knocking me down in the process. My staff clattered across the wood floor. The wolf was making a show of intimidating Xavier. I saw the air start to shimmer and realized what was happening. I scrambled across the floor when the power from his shift hit me and slung me out the balcony doors. I was free falling for what felt like forever. When I hit the ground, I hit hard, the back of my head striking the edge of the landscaping brick. Stars exploded in front of my eyes. I could hear fighting above me, and truly I didn't care. I hoped the wolf killed the gator. He was nothing but a pain in my ass. A shadow fell across me. Monique stood above me. * Yo soul is evil, Margaux. * I laughed, slowly gaining my feet. * You have no idea. * I laughed, the sound ugly to my ears. I could feel something sliding down the back of my neck. I reached for my sister and an electric shock slammed into me. I shrieked. * You were never stronger den me. * She sneered. * Let the panther out. She has no stake in dis. * I refused. * I like this body. I think I'll keep it. * Mongolia was behind me. * I don't dink so, sister. * White hot pain slammed between my shoulder blades. The scream that left my mouth startled even me. I felt the soul sucking pain as my bones snapped and popped and I started to fade. I could feel the host as she struggled to take over. Darkness exploded in my vision. *

    * I landed on all four paws and realized that I had shifted for the first time in over a decade. It took me a minute to get my bearings but once I did, I smelled Tanner. Without hesitation, I backed up and ran, leaping back up onto the broken balcony, and stalking through the doors. I could hear fighting and I crept down the hall. Xavier was using his tail as a swing bat. Tanner snarled, his hackles up as he did. On silent paws, I slipped inside of the room. I knew the second Tanner and Xavier smelled me because time stopped. My eyes met Tanner's seconds before I leapt at Xavier and grabbed his tail in my jaws. He whipped his body around, but he was too big to reach back and bite me. My connection to Tanner was distorted, but he knew what I was doing as he moved in for the kill. *

  2. * I snapped my fangs together and snarled at Xavier. He had shifted as I'd taken him down and tossed me across the room, through the drywall. I snarled and got to my feet as Sadie in Panther form leaped into the room from the balcony. Xavier swung his massive alligator tail towards me. Sadie leaped and sank her claws into his leathery scaley skin. I let lose another howl and then leaped over them and landed on his big gigantic gator head. He roared as my paws came around and gripped him in the soft undercarriage of his mouth. I released my claws and tore into the soft flesh there. He growled out his pain and then I dug them in deeper, then I pulled tearing and ripping the flesh from bone. He roared as I continued to rip his head from his body. He caught all the way and then Sadie was there digging her claws into him as well and working as a team Xavier's fight was lost. We ripped his massive head from his body and his body fell limp with death on the floor. I stumbled back and shifted as Sadie did the same. We sat there on the floor staring at each other covered in Xavier's blood for a silent minute and then I crawled over to her and pulled her to me. * Say your her? Say your my mate? I need to know she won. Did you, Mo shíorghrá? Is it you?

  3. * His eyes searched mine, time suspended between us. * Yes. It's me. * I crawled closer and leaned up on my knees, wrapping my arms around Tanner. * God, Sadie, did he...I mean, I... * I shushed him, shaking my head. * No. I might have been spelled, but, I never gave in. You're it for me, Tanner. * Our lips were a breath away from each other. * You were kissing him. * He growled. I slid my fingers through his hair. * Not me, her. The voodoo priestess. * He hesitated and a throat cleared. Tanner leapt up, mindless of his nudity and blood spattered skin. I stood at his back as we faced Josiah. His face was twisted in anger as he looked upon Xaviers dead body. * What. Have. You. Done. * His fury started to build in the room. * I killed the son of a bitch who took my mate. My wife. My heart. And you're next! * Tanner leapt towards Josiah and I watched as he lifted his hand and chanted. * I'll eat your heart out, wolf. * Tanners back bowed and a light slammed off of his chest. A scream of anguish filled the room. It was mine. * No! * I snatched up a broken leg of a hundred year old chair and ran towards Tanner and Josiah. Tanner was gasping for air when I reached them. Josiahs eyes met mine a nano second before I drove the piece of wood into his heart. He sucked in a breath and Tanner hit the floor hard. I shoved my makeshift stake deeper. * No more living for you either. * I whispered as I watched his soul leave his eyes. He pitched forward and I jerked back, his body hitting the floor with a sickening thud. Immediately, I knelt by Tanner. * Oh my God, baby, are you alright? * I gave his face a little shake. * Tanner? * He nodded, rubbing his chest. My own hand covered his. * We've got to get out of here. * I insisted, pulling him to his feet. I startled when I saw her standing there, her eyes milky white. Sight of the past and future. * You will come wid us. * Her tone brooked no argument. I nodded and held on to Tanners arm. * Our cabin is not far. You can clean up and den we talk. * Again I agreed, following behind the woman who seemed blind but had no problem navigating her way around the house. Tanner was silent and I reached for his hand. He took mine as we made our way out of the old mansion and into the woods, following behind the three women that apparently had helped Tanner and myself. *

* 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.
