* Kimiko had mentioned the bar reopening and I figured we could both use a night out. I told her to get dressed, that we were going. She seemed excited and hurried to her room to get ready. I showered and shaved, dressed in dark jeans and a navy blue dress shirt. Nothing to fancy since it was just a bar in a small town. W hile I waited for Kimiko, I turned on the tv and watched some of the news, half of a game show and the beginning of a movie. I heard her befroom door open so I turned the tv off and stood up. When I saw her I was speechless. She looked beatiful as always but, the happiness in her eyes made her that much more beautiful if it was possible. I walked around the sofa to her and smiled when she looked up at me.* You are beautiful, my little Lotus flower. * I took her hand and brushed a kiss to her knuckles.* Every single male in this town will be wanting you tonight. But, they'll have to go through me. * I growled at her playfully and she giggled.* Let me just grab our jackets and we can go.

  1. * It was wonderful, dancing with Kimiko. For the first time we were not on a mission but instead just enjoying ourselves. The drink must have loosened her inhabitions or she wouldn't have danced with me. I would have been happy to hold her all night like this, to dance and have drinks but, the song ended and she slowly stepped away from me. As we made our way back to our table I noticed two of the waitresses rolling a huge cake out towards a table of women. " Welcome back Meghan and Chloe!* Customers cheered and I figured they must be the owners. I also noticed how overcome with emotion they were, a drunk woman spilling her drink, the tall brunette trying to keep the situation under control. She must be the Alpha female. I leaned close to Kim to tell her when the front doors to the bar flew open with a crashing bang. Five men walked in, the leader was surely the Alpha. " Parties over! Everyone go home. Now!" Kimiko startled and I stood up to sheild her.* We'd better leave Kim. Something is hoing on that we are not a part of. * She nodded and took my hand. We left, walking around the bar, giving the Alpha a wide berth. I heard a table crash as it was overturned, Kim grabbed my arm and stopped me from rushing us out of there. I looked down at her to see why she stopped me but she was looking in the direction of the men that had walked in.*

  2. * Holding tight to Taka's hand I followed him around the outer wall of the bar trying to stay as far away from the pissed off males as we could. I wasn't sure what had gotten them so angered, but I knew I was glad I wasn't on the receiving end of it. I looked at each male as we moved, but when I glanced at the last male alarms went off in my head. I grabbed onto Taka's arm with my other hand trying to stop him. The male was Japanese like us, I knew he had to be our target. The one that had killed my mother, but there was something else about him. It was like I should know him, my mind was confused. * "Kim, we need to go. Kim!" * Taka shook me and brought me back to the hear and now. I looked up at him and he motioned towards the door with this head and began to move again. I followed, but kept my eyes on the other male until I couldn't any more. Taka rushed to the SUV and practically picked me up and set me inside. He gently pushed my hair away from my face. * "Are you okay? What was that about in there?" * I shrugged, shaking my head no. * I don't know, something about that man was familiar. "Yeah, he was the one we were sent to kill." I know, but this is different, I don't know how to explain it. * Taka handed me my seat belt. * "We'll figure this out when we get home." * I nodded and buckled up. * Okay.

  3. * I frove us home, glad we didn't get involved in the melee at the bar. Kimiko's reaction to seeing our target bothered me, but I couldn't place why. Right now, my only concern was Kim and keeping her safe. Yes she could defend herself but I would still protect her. We were quiet on the drive home, Kim yawned and settled in her seat. When I pulled into the drive and parked, she was asleep. I hated to wake her, so I got out quietly and went to her side of the SUV. I opened her door and unbuckled her seatbelt. She stirred and I hushed her, the drink, dancing and excitement had exhausted her. She let me pick her up and I carried her inside, she snuggled in my arms and it made me smile. I took her to her room, laid her on her bed and removed her shoes. I covered her with the quilt from the foot of the bed and kissed her forehead softly. I watched her as she slept, my need to know what she saw in the bar on the back burner for tonight. I left her room and locked up the cabin . I poured myself a drink and sat in the quiet stillness of the living room. Tomorrow we'd talk, get this figured out before we moved forward.*

* 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.
