* I drove +Meghan Danvers home. The drive wasn't long, but it gave me a chance to think of everything that happened at the meeting. * "Ian, I don't want you to quit working at the bar. You know the customers the best. It just won't feel right without you." * I rolled my eyes. * I guess you should have thought about that before you pulled your little stunt. * "Ian I'm....."* I cut her off. * I know, I know. You're sorry. It's not enough Meg. * Her arms flailed out and then dropped to her side. * "Then what do I have to do, Ian?" * I looked at her, my breathing a little heavy with anger. We stood outside of the house in the front yard. * There will be no contact between you and the other females, except for when you are doing your community service. * Meg shook her head. * "Ian, Chloe and I have never been apart during the holidays. It's our favorite time of the year." * I growled. * I'm you're fucking mate, Meg. Is she more important than me? * "No, but." * I wasn't arguing with her. * While you are doing your community service, you will not work at the bar. * Meg swallowed. * "Okay, I guess Chloe can handle it without me." * I smirked. * Vincent and I talked. Chloe won't be working either. Reese, will continue to run the bar. "That's not fair, Ian! It's our bar. * I nodded. * It is, but I should be more important to you then that bar. I'll go pack my bags. * I turned away from her and walked up the step to the door. *

  1. Pack? Why?! Are you leaving me? * Ian turned on his heel and glared at me. " You tell me. Am I more important than the bar? Than Chloe?" I swallowed hard and nodded. He was the love of my life, my mate. I couldn't lose him. It would kill me.* You are the most important thing in my life. I love you, please, don't pack your things. I don't want you to go anywhere. * I was begging him, trying to get him to stay.* I'll do whatever you want me to. Just please stay, Ian. * He was angry and I understood that. My heart was breaking, everything was upside down and I hated it. I hated what I did and, I hated that Ian and I were fighting. I dropped to my knees, ready to beg more when Ian stepped up to me, grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet. He let me go and walked inside the house. I stood there for a moment before following him. Unsure of what to do, I went to the living room and sat down on the sofa. I could hear Ian in the kitchen and I looked up at him when he came into the room and sat across from me. He looked like he had more to say so, I sat there quietly waiting for him to speak.*

  2. Vincent and I talked and Beck agree's that some counseling is needed. Beck has a friend he is going to contact. * Meg was about to protest, I growled. * For all of us Meg. Though really, you females are the one's that lost your minds. I can assure you though I have some serious anger issues to work out. "Okay, Ian. For us I will do this." * No slacking on your house chores, don't even try to cook for me or fetch me any drinks that don't require being opened. * Meg gasped. * "Ian I would never, do that again." * I glared at her. * I can't even imagine you doing it a first time, but yet you did. * She snapped her mouth shut and just nodded. * I'm angry, but I love you. So I want to know where and what you will be doing your community service at. When you head over to the next town you will be escorted by one of our own males for your safety. I know Vincent plans on having someone with Chloe at all times so I don't feel the need to have two guys standing around to watch you in town. * Meg nodded. * Meg, if you ever do anything to betray my trust again. I'll leave you and never look back.

  3. * My heart hurt when Ian said he'd leave if I ever do anything to betray his trust again. I nodded, I wasn't going to cry, he'd had enough of that and it would only make him mad.* I promise, I'll never do anything to betray your trust, Ian. * I chewed my lip for a moment and looked at him.* I love you, and everything, the community service, the counseling, the no cooking. It's all fair, it's probably less than I deserve but, I'll do all of it to be with you. * Ian snorted like he doubted me and I hung my head. I didn't know what to say or do without having this whole situation thrown in my face at every turn. We sat there quietly for what felt like forever when Ian cleared his throat. I looked up and he was leaning forward, his elbows on his knees, fingers steepled in front of his face. "I'm sorry Meg. I didn't mean to scoff at you. I'm just hurt and angry." I nodded slowly.* It's okay. I understand. * He nodded and stood up, looked at me and sighed. I watched him walk back to the guest room and shut the door. I felt numb, I hadn't eaten in a couple of days but the thought made want to hurl. I watched the clock on the fireplace mantle for a few minutes before getting up. I headed upstairs to get my clothes ready for my community service, make sure I had gloves and a pair of old boots. I didn't realize I was crying till I got to the room we used to share. I wiped my face with my hands and took some deep breaths. We'd get through this. It will be tough but, Ian was worth every bit of it to me.*

* 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.
