* My head was pounding when I came to. I opened my eyes and I had a view of the kitchen, side ways. There was still a little bit of a mess on the counter when I realized something was off. I sat up quickly and my head swam. * What the fuck happened? * Just then there was a light snore and I looked over to see Vincent with his head laying on his arm, he too was on the table. * Vincent! * There was no response. I shook his arm and hollered louder this time * Vincent! * He snorted and his head snapped up, he groaned his hand going to his head. * You gotta wake up man, something's wrong and I think the girls are gone. * My body was tired and my mind was groggy at best, I couldn't quite comprehend what had happened. I yelled for our mates. * Meg! Chloe! * There was no answer. Vincent let out a big breath as he set forward in his chair, one hand holding up his hand. * "They're not going to answer you dude. Don't you see what just happened here?" * I closed my eyes and thought back to our dinner, how the girls were nervous and a little on edge. I growled. Vincent smirked knowing I had gotten it now. * They fucking drugged us. * The blood in my veins began to pump rapidly and it didn't take long for my system to beat the drug. My mate was in some serious fucking trouble. *

  1. "Vincent!" I didn't want to wake as Ian's voice filled my mind and I instantly got a headache. I tried to open my eyes but my lids felt like they were glued shut. I felt Ian shake my arm as he yelled my name louder. "Vincent!" Snapping my head up as I groaned with the sudden movement. "You gotta wake up man, something's wrong and I think the girls are gone. Meg! Chloe! Fuck, I wish he'd stop telling. They're not going to answer you dude. My head swam as I continued. Don't you see what just happened here? I opened my eyes and watched Ian. He finally looked at me then growled his understanding and I smirked. "They fucking drugged us." Nodding I continued to work the drug out of my system. Once my head was clear, I looked around the room then let my gaze land on the two glasses on the table. It was in the fucking drinks. Ian nodded and I could see he was just as pissed as I was. "Where do you think they went?" I was asking myself the same question. I don't know but what I do know is that my mate isn't going to like it when I find her. Ian Chuckled low. "They better run long and far." I stood slowly, grateful the dizziness had dissipated. Walking to the door I opened it and looked out. Do you have a tracking system on your truck? He grinned at me. "Yes, it does." Grinning back I headed for my office. Good! Let's hunt!

  2. * I followed Vincent into his office, my mind clear again, he switched his computer on and motioned for me to sit in the chair. I waited for it to boot up. * Reckless behavior. I can't believe they did this. Why can't they see we just want to keep them safe? * Vincent shook his head. * "I don't know. I wanted Chloe to get healed up. We don't even know if the vampire blood is out of her system yet, so she can shift to finish the healing process." * The computer was finally ready and I punched in the URL for the site that tracks vehicles. Signing in, a map of McGregor popped up. The map showed every street in McGregor and once you found the person you were tracking it would get you a address and description of the place. Home, business, park, etc. * I'm so glad I signed up for this service, never did I think I would have to use it though. * Vincent smirked. A red dot popped onto the map. * Well they weren't trying to hide from us. * Vincent looked up. * "You got them?" * I nodded. * Yep, they're at the bar.

  3. You got them? Ian nodded. “Yep, they’re at the bar.” I shook my head. Leave it to them to go to the very place we wanted to take them. I sure as hell hope they appreciate all the time and hard work we put in. Ian stood and I just left the computer on as we headed out of the office. As we made our way to the front door something flashed through my mind and I stopped walking. I turned when he didn’t hear me following him. Turning he raised a brow at me. “What’s wrong, man? We’ve got to go get our females. I looked over at him and shook my head. I don’t know if I should go. I mean, what if Chloe’s changed her mind about wanting to be with me? I’ve only been trying to keep her safe so she can heal. But what if she wants to end our mating? Ian just stared at me. “Come on man. She loves you.” I looked at him. Loves me. She fucking drugged me and left. Your mate drugged you. They didn’t even know what that shit would do to us. Ian continued to look at me. “I get it! I really do, but Chloe loves you.” I don’t know. I think after this is over I’m going to step back. It’s going to kill me but I don’t think I’ll be able to trust her again. Ian nodded thinking. “I know how you feel. It’s going to be a long while before I’m going to be able to trust Meg. And I’m not going to be able to eat or drink anything she puts in front of me. Just make sure leaving is what you really want to do because it’s really going to hurt Chloe.” I wasn’t so sure about that, but I didn’t voice it. Instead I headed for the door then down to my car and we made our way down to the bar in silence.

  4. * I thought about what Vincent said back at the house and for a second I had doubts too about Meg's feelings for me. I know that I had been a little overbearing with keeping her safe, but fuck I almost lost her. I sighed. Drugging me though, she went too far. I was seething with anger by the time we pulled into the parking lot of the bar. It was full of vehicles. We parked and didn't waste any time getting out of the car. Heading towards the front of the bar I was shocked when we came up on Beck Hadrian. * Beck? * He turned towards us, he looked exhausted. * "Hey guys." * We shook hands. * "We need to talk to you." * Vincent all but growled, before we were interrupted by squealing tires. * "Beck. I need to talk to you."

* 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.
