Deciding there was nothing to see, I turned back to the game and let the girls do their thing. *

    Chloe and I stood by the grill turning steaks and shrimp skewers. It was the only place we could talk. Ian and Vincent had been practically stuck to us like glue. I knew they were being protective but, geesh something had to give and it was in the form of some pills I had hidden in the pocket of my jeans. I flipped a steak and shoulder bumped CC. You still sure we ought to do this? * My best friend nodded silently, I took a deep breath and did the same. We plated the steaks and shrimp, turned the grill off and headed inside.i refilled our wine glasses and placed them on the table. The salad was ready, steaks and shrimp ready. CC was taking the potatoes out of the oven and had the butter and sour cream ready. I leaned a hip against the counter and chewed my lip, nervousness settling in. CC walked by and smacked my hip making me jump and yelp. " Everything alright in there?" We both laughed and I hollared back at Ian.* Yeah! No worries, mate!

    * Meg was nervous and stalling, she needed to get a move on so I swatted her hip when I passed by to put the potatoes on the table. I had the cups sitting out already for Ian and Vincent, she just needed to pour the drinks, add the crushed pills and stir it up until it dissolved. By the time I had returned to the kitchen she had poured the whiskey and was just adding the fine powder like substance. It didn't seem to take long for the liquor to dissolve the Temazepam. I picked up one of the glasses and sniffed, getting a good whiff of the whiskey. I didn't think that Vincent or Ian would be able to pick up on it. I picked up the other glass and hollered at the males. * Time to eat! * I sat the drinks down in front of their plates, leaning in and giving Vincent a kiss before we set. * "It smells delicious ladies." * Vincent said as he helped me with my chair. * "Mouth watering!" * Ian said as he set down beside Meg after helping her. Both males took a swig of their drink and Meg and I glanced at each other. I wasn't sure how quick it would take affect, but I hoped they at least was able to enjoy the meal before they passed out. We began to pass the food and conversation flowed easily between us. I took a bite of my steak and moaned. * This is really good! * I pointed at the steak with my fork and then cut another bite. We fell into a comfortable silence as we ate and took the occasional drink. Ian dropped his fork in his plate and we all laughed. * "The fuck?" * His eyes looked hooded and sleepy. I looked at Meg and gave her a small smile and went back to eating. We were talking about Thanksgiving when Vincent swayed a little bit. * "Whoa!" * I set my fork down and turned to him. * Baby are you okay? * Concern laced my voice, or maybe that was nervousness. * "Yeah, I'm fine. Just got a little dizzy is all."

    The steak was tender and juicy and I was enjoying the company and the conversation. Ian and I planned on telling Chloe and Meghan we were going out after dinner. I looked over at Ian and we about to say something when he dropped his fork and it hit his plate. "The fuck?" Ian said and we all laughed. I shrugged thinking that maybe he was tired with all the work he and I had been doing getting ready for the opening and trying to keep the surprise from the girls. We started talking again and for a moment I thought I read fear and deceit coming from Chloe and Meghan. No, I told myself. They are just tired of being cooped up in the house, but all that was about to change later. Shaking off a dizziness that came on suddenly. I reached out to get a drink of water for my dry throat I swayed. Whoa! I heard Chloe's voice and I thought it was strange that she sounded like she was far away. "Baby are you okay?" My head spun as I answered her. Yeah, I'm fine. Just got a little dizzy is all. The next thing I knew I looked up and felt like the whole house was moving around me. Chloe and Meg stood to remove the plates and I watched in shock as Ian's head landed on the table. I tried to stand as I reached for *+Ian Holder*​ and the last thing I heard was Chloe and Meg's voices before everything went black.

    * Dinner was perfect, I had to hand it to the females they could cook. I went to cut another bite off my steak when my fingers just got tangled and I dropped my utensils on the plate. I looked at my hands for a moment. * The fuck? * Everyone laughed and I joined them. But I didn't understand why my fingers felt so fat and clumsy. I picked up my fork and knife and tried again, happy when I was able to get another bite of that scrumptious meat in my mouth. I suddenly felt tired and kind of lost track of the conversation when Vincent kind of swayed in his chair. * "Whoa!" * I gave my friend what I hoped was a concerned look though I wasn't sure because my face almost felt numb or something. Chloe, turned to him. * "Baby are you okay?" * I knew something was terribly wrong now. Chloe sounded concerned, but I was still picking up on the nervous vibes from both females. I gave my mate one look and her cheeks were pink and she wouldn't look at me. * "Yeah, I'm fine. Just got a little dizzy is all." * I swiveled my head to look back over at Vincent, the females jumped up, everything seemed to be moving in slow motion and suddenly my world went black. *

    Oh Gods..* I looked from Ian to Vincent, to Chloe. Vincent was slumped in his chair. Ian had his head on the table and after I moved his plate, I turned his head so he wasn't just face planted there. I wiped my hands on my jeans, nervous about what we'd just done. I felt bad that we were going to leave them like this and I could tell CC felt the same way. We watched them for a few minutes, making sure they were breathing.* We should go..Now. * Chloe nodded , we were in deep now, we could've changed our minds but, we grabbed our jackets, I had Ian's truck keys and the keys to the bar. We checked on our mates one last time and booked it out of there. Once we were in the truck I looked at Chloe at started the engine.* No turning back now. * "Nope, let's go before we talk ourselves out of it." I backed out of Vincents driveway and headed for the bar.*

* 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.

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....
