* I took my time in the shower savoring the hot water on my skin. The sleepiness of the morning washed down the drain with the suds and water and I felt replenished. Ready to get the day started. Turning off the water, I wrapped my body in a towel and twisted my hair up on top of my head in another one. The air in the bathroom was warm and thick so I opened the door to my room to help air it out. I went through the motions of getting ready. Brushed my teeth, moisturized my skin, dabbed on a little makeup and combed out my hair. Dropping the towels into the hamper, I walked across my room to my closet and found a pair of tight fitting jeans, black blouse, black boots and a red jacket to put over the top. I walked back through the bathroom to Kimiko's room. Knocking lightly on the door, I opened it. * Kimiko are you rea.... * My words died on my lips when I saw that my sister had fallen asleep in her chair. She mentioned she wasn't sleeping well, so I hated to wake her. I saw the keys to her Lexus sitting on her desk, quietly I picked them up and walked out of her room, letting her sleep.

McGregor wasn't a large town so it didn't take me long to find the market. I parked across the street, careful to leave space between me and the other vehicles, knowing my sister would hurt me if I scratched her new car. I walked inside the small market and looked around. The place was quaint but larger on the inside than it appeared outside. Grabbing a small basket, I hooked it over one arm and began to peruse the fresh vegetable aisle. I knew I wouldn't be able to get a lot of the things that we would use in Japan, but there was plenty I should be able to get here. I picked a large yellow onion and placed in it my basket. Next I found fresh Portobello mushrooms, brussel sprouts, and bean sprouts. I smiled as my mind started to think of the different dishes that would go with the ingredients I had. I grabbed 2 large sweet potatoes and was putting them under the other items, so not to damage them when I walked into something hard. Losing my balance, I stumbled backwards and fell on my ass with an oomph. Pain radiated up my spine and the contents in my basket had scattered across the floor. I looked up into the shocked face of a tall, handsome male. Geez, did he wear armor under his clothes? * "I'm so sorry ma'am, I was in a hurry and not paying attention. Let me help you up." * Bending down to help me up, I jerked away from his large hands. * I can get up on my own, you...you...BABOON! * I hollered at him. *

    Coming in from working out, I showered and got dressed. Since I had the late afternoon shift I decided I would head down to the local store in town and do some shopping and then get my hair cut. My fridge was looking really empty and my bear was growling at me. It was a nice out so I settled to drive my new truck into town. Jumping in, I started it up and drove down my drive. Once on the road I noticed some flowers were blossoming. It was still early so not many people were out yet. The drive was short but peaceful. Pulling into the parking lot across the street. I made sure I parked out from any others so my new truck would not get dinged. Heading in I grabbed a cart and began to make my way through the store. First, I hit the bathroom isle and grabbed toilet paper, body soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Toothpaste and hair supplies. Next, I walked to the cleaning aisle and started putting in the supplies I use to clean my cabin. I did not need much since it was just me and I didn’t make a mess. When I was satisfied with that I started to get my food items. Milk, eggs, butter, bread, and a few more items. Then I hit the meat section and started tossing in what I wanted. Checking my watch, I cursed under my breath. I have been in here for almost an hour. Rushing to get the rest of my items, I did not want to be late for my haircut appointment. Maneuvering to the vegetable and fruit section. I started tossing in items into pushcart. Twisting around, I reached for a bag of potatoes when I backed into someone. Shit. Quickly turning around, I realized it was her that I bumped into and made her fall on her ass. Pushing the funning feeling away in the bottom of my stomach, I reached my hand out to help her up. I’m so sorry ma’am, I was in a hurry and not paying attention. Let me help you up. I bend down to help her up and she jerked away from me. “I can get up on my own, you… you.. BABOON! My jaw dropped at her outburst. Standing back up I sighed. As she got up, I saw her things fell out her basket and promptly picked them up, putting them in before she could call me another name. She grabbed the basket from me and I rose a brow at her. Look, I said I was sorry. “Next time watch where you are going.” I wanted to laugh, but I kept it in. Well, I could say the same for you. I smirked at her. Fuck, she was beautiful, but what a mouth.

    * I opened my mouth to respond and shut it quickly, I wasn't exactly paying attention either. I pushed my hair away from my face and looked up at him. Studying him, he really was a handsome male, in a pretty boy kind of way. It hurt to do it, but I choked out an apology too. * Fine, I apologize too. * He grinned and butterflies fluttered in my belly. * "That wasn't so hard was it?" * He winked at me, I shook my head and rolled my eyes. Spinning around I walked off in the opposite direction, hearing his chuckle in my wake. *

    I could not help but chuckles as she walked away. Her ass was perfect. Wait! What the fuck! Stop looking and turn your ass around and go to your appointment. Turning around I pushed my cart away fighting myself to look back at her and those hips moving. What the fuck was wrong with me? The whole time I’ve been here no one has caught my eye like she has. Shaking my head I hurried to check out and leave before I saw her again. Leaving the store I hurried and put my items into my truck and quickly made my way to the barber trying to take my mind off her.

* 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....
