* I worked on paper work as I waited for +Vincent Gaines to show up. I could hear Ian in his office, moving stuff around on his desk. Making it his own. I had laid out paperwork for him and Vincent to fill out so we could get things rolling on getting them into the Police officer roles. I knew their mate's weren't happy about it, but we needed them and they were both a force to be reckoned with and would fill the shoes well. I heard footsteps coming up the hall and Vincent appeared in my door. * Vincent. Thanks for coming in. * Vincent came in and sat down in one of the two chairs I had in front of my desk. * "No problem, Slade. I told you I would help you with your mate's disappearance. I have someone I could call, I just need some information." * I nodded and filled him in the best I could on the date she had left, when her phone had been turned off and the location my pickup had been found. He wrote it all down. * "Okay, let me call my contact and we'll see if he can help."

  1. I felt good about where Chloe and I were in our relationship. I’d reclaimed her and she had submitted fully, letting me know she was all in when it came to us. I dropped Chloe off at Meghan’s to meet up with the other females for their first official day of punishment. Tyler was already there talking to Rocky. They both looked over at us as I got out of the car, walked around and helped Chloe out. Morning Tyler, Rocky! Looking down at my mate, I kissed her then watched as she made her way into the house. Moving back to the drivers side of the car I laughed as Tyler said. “It’s about fucking time you forgave her, man. I was getting tired of pretending I couldn’t hear her crying.” Yeah, I know! To be honest, I didn’t like it myself. Check you later, guys. Driving away I watched as Rocky and Tyler walked off to check the perimeter. It didn’t take me long to get to the police station and as soon as I walked in, Burnice said. “It’s about time you got here. You need to get here on time. After all you work for the town now, you can’t just show up when you want.” I bit back a growl and headed across the room. “Slade’s been waiting for you for an hour.” I tried not to roll my eyes as I continued through the building and headed down the hall towards Slade’s office. He looked up as I stepped into the doorway. “Vincent. Thanks for coming in.” I walked in and sat down in one of the two chairs in front of his desk. No problem, Slade. I told you I would help you with your mate's disappearance. I have someone I could call, I just need some information. He nodded and filled me in on the date that she had left, when her phone had been turned off and the location where his pickup had been found, and I wrote it all down. Okay, let me call my contact and we'll see if he can help. I took a deep breath and looked at Slade. He needed to know who I was going to call and what it meant. I think you should know that I’m not sure if he can help us and he may want something in return. I took my phone out of my pocket as I looked at him. “Who is this guy and what do you think he’s going to want?” It’s Nathanial Morelo, Chloe’s father! “Well, fuck! I’m guessing he’s going to want to see Chloe?” I nodded then shrugged. She doesn’t want to have anything to do with him, but if he can help find your mate, she’ll do it. So don’t worry about it.

  2. * I scrubbed my face with my hand. * Are you sure about this Vincent? I hate to put Chloe in a position she may not be ready to deal with yet. * Vincent punched a couple buttons on his phone. * "Chloe would be upset, if we didn't do this because of her. Besides, I'll be by her side and she can be a feisty little thing when she wants to be. She can handle Morelo." * The phone began to ring and I was surprised that Vincent had put it on speaker. * "It's about damn time you got a hold of me Gaines. I wan't to know how my daughter is." * Vincent rolled his eyes. * "This fucking phone works both ways Morelo. You could have called. It wasn't like you worried about her for the last several years, I don't know why your so concerned now." * Morelo growled and before he could say anything Vincent spoke again. * Look, I need a favor. * The phone was silent for a minute. * "It's gonna cost you. I want to see my daughter." * Vincent grinned and gave me a I told you so look. * "I'll allow you to come see Chloe, but I won't promise that she will receive you with open arms. Or at all." * It was quiet again. * "Deal. What do you want?" * Morelo snapped. * "A friend of mine is sitting here with me. His name is Slade Michaels. His mate disappeared. I know how you have contact's everywhere, keeping yourself in the know of all that is going on. I was hoping maybe you might be able to help us figure out what happened to her."

  3. “Where was she last seen or the place she was before you lost track of her?” I looked over at Slade and he nodded for me to continue. Well, that’s the thing. No one has seen her that has reported in to the authorities. The only reason we know the general area is because Slade’s truck was found burned with a body in it. But it’s not his mate. Again the line was silent as if Morelo were thinking. We heard a movement in the background then Morelo was back. “Where was the truck found?” Slade sat forward and spoke. “The truck was found near the Bitterroot National Forest in Idaho.” A growl left Morelo’s mouth as he cursed. “Fuck, that’s not good. There’s a small town in Idaho run by a crazy ass bear shifter. He runs an illegal shifter fighting ring. He prays on shifters in pain, and kidnaps them for the fights. I’m not sure where the place is. Some say the fights are in that forest but no one knows for sure. It’s said that he had a witch cast a spell over the entire area so no one who is actually looking for the place can find it. Only his people can get in without getting lost.” Both Slade and I sat back in our chairs deflated as we took in his words. “So, I’ve told you what I know. When can I see Chloe?” You know where we are, come after the holidays. I don’t want you spoiling them for her. It’s her favorite time of the year. Plus I need to let Chloe and my alpha know you are coming. He Chuckles. “Your alpha? I didn’t know you took orders. But, fine, I’ll wait but I will be there. And don’t try and fuck me over Gaines, because there will be hell to pay if you do.” I growled. Don’t fucking threaten me Morelo. I don’t have to fuck you, Chloe’s going to be the one to have your ass heading out of town within an hour of you stepping out of that fancy car of yours. With those words I hung up and looked at Slade. I hate that fucker, but he does come in handy at times.

  4. * I was shocked by the way he spoke to Morelo. Morelo was right about one thing. It was surprising that Gaines didn't have a pack of his own. He was definitely alpha material. * Fuck, what do I do with the information he gave us? You wouldn't happen to know any witches? * I cocked a brow at Vincent. * "Sorry man. Bad ass vampires is where I draw the line." * I nodded. * I appreciate what you did though. Beck has some connections to the Realm. He may be able to help me. * Vincent stood. * "I'm sorry I couldn't do more. Good luck with the search and I'm here if you need anything you think I can help with. So? Paperwork?" * I sat back in my chair and looked up at him. * I appreciate that. I put the papers on your desk. You and Ian need to go pick out a uniform. There is a store in Minot you can go to. They should have everything you need. I set up an account with them so you could just charge it. I also have Chloe and Meg set up to come in and do some cleaning and painting in the jail cells. * Vincent nodded and walked out of my office. I punched in the digits for Beck's cell phone. I wanted to fill him in on what we found out today. *

* 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.
