* I'd woken up early to fix everyone a good breakfast. Today +Vincent Gaines and I were going to enroll Michael into school. I was more nervous than I should have been. What if the kids were mean to him? Treated him like an outcast? Kids were cruel these days. And I really didn't know any teenagers well here. But it wasn't like he was a kindergartner. He was big for a kid his age and could handle himself. Vincent must have felt my negative energy. He leaned in, kissed me behind the ear and whispered that everything was going to be fine. I smiled and nodded, soaking up as much of his positive energy as I could. Michael came down the stairs carrying the back pack and few school supplies that Tyler and I had taken him to town to get to be prepared for the day. He held his head high and I could tell he was trying to be strong, but was a little nervous too. * "You ready to go, kid?" * Vincent asked and Michael nodded. Vincent grinned slapping him on the back. * "Then let's get you enrolled in school." * The Three of us put our coats on and piled into my Range Rover. The short drive into town was quiet and I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Michael was taking in our little town. I caught Vincent watching him through the rear view mirror as he drove and I was certain I saw a sense of pride in his eyes. We pulled into the parking lot of the school, stepping out of the car the three of us looked over the large building and made our way towards the door that signified the office was just inside. We pushed the doorbell and waited, until we heard the release of the lock and walked through the door that said office. A busty redhead smiled up at us. * "How can I help you?" * We need to enroll Michael in school. * She looked at Michael and then between Vincent and myself. * "He'll be new to our school so I'll need a copy of his birth certificate." * I had hoped that we wouldn't have to answer too many questions but this wasn't going to be easy. Vincent stepped up to the counter. * "Listen, Michael just lost his family. We opened up our home to him, so he'd have a chance at a good life. He's very excited about getting enrolled." * I inwardly rolled my eyes as she hung on Vincent's every word. * "Well, why don't you have a seat and I'll talk to the Principal." * The three of us sat down as she disappeared through a door that read Principal Clarke on it. *

    *A few minutes later a male followed the female out of the office. I immediately smelled the fact that he was a shifter but I had no idea what kind he was. I’d never smelled it before. I used my ability to read him, trying to figure out what he was, but I didn’t get anything. Nothing, but the fact that he was a shifter came through. I watched as the secretary took her place behind the desk once more and the male made his way over to where we were sitting. He held out his hand to me as I stood putting myself between my mate and Michael, ready to fight if needed.* “Good morning, I’m Principal Clarke! Miss Johnston explained a little bit about the situation to me. Please, why don’t you come into my office so we can see what we can do.” *I nodded still trying to figure out what he was as we followed him into his office. I looked at Chloe and could see that she too was on alert. Chloe moved in between Michael and myself, putting Michael closest to the door as we took seats. The Principal looked at us, seeing our defensive positions before he looked at me and continued.* “I understand the situation and I’m here to help but we are going to need Michael’s birth information before we can get him enrolled permanently in the school system.” *I nodded as I watched him closely.* Before we continue I want to know what are you? I can smell that you’re a shifter but I don’t recognize the scent. *He sat back in his chair and smiled.* “I’m a dragon. I don’t live in McGregor and never dealt with the old alpha. To be frank, he was a bastard and I was glad to see him and his followers taken out. I love my job and the humans don’t know what I am. I try to help the young shifters control their nature. That way no one gets hurt.” *I nodded knowing what he meant. Teen shifters sometimes acted without thinking and that could be trouble if a human child was hurt or killed. I continued to look at him as I thought about what he said.* I’m going to have to inform my alpha that you are here, but as long as you continue the way you have I don’t expect a problem. *He smiled and I could see his body relax at my words.* “Thank you! Now, as for Michael, you’re going to have to find a way to get his information. You should also think about making everything legal. It will help later when and if he wants to attend college. As for now, I can let him attend classes but if you don’t get the paperwork, he won’t be able to stay.” *Fuck, I thought it would only be a matter of just bringing him in and getting him enrolled. I nodded more to myself than Clarke.* How long do we have? “I’ll give you a week or two to get everything done. After that and he won’t be able to stay.” *Standing I nodded.* So, he can start today? “Yes!” Great, I’ll get right on it.

    * Michael and I both stood. * "Miss Johnston will give you an enrollment packet. I don't mind if you take it home as long as you fill out the page with parent/guardian information on it and leave it here, in case we should need to contact you." * He motioned us towards the door and I turned to walk out. Miss Johnston held out a packet of papers to me and a pen. * "The page you need is the third one in the stack." * I took the paper clip off and swiped to the page I needed, pulling it out and laying it on top. Miss Johnston handed me a clip board and Michael and I sat down in the chairs we waited in before and I began to fill out the paper. * "How will you decide what classes he will attend?" * Vincent asked. Principal Clarke spoke up. * "We'll have a counselor sit down and talk with him. Once we have his school records, together they can decide what he still needs. Today, we will just do an orientation day. We'll give him a tour of the school. Show him a list of what classes we have to offer. Pick his brain a little bit to see what he is interested in doing for the future. If you could have those papers back to us by tomorrow, that would be a big help." * I placed the pen down as I finished up the paper they asked me to fill out. Standing I handed it to Miss Johnston. I turned to Michael, feeling every bit of a nervous mom. * You have your phone, so you can call if something comes up? * He nodded, turning a little red in the face. I took another look at Principal Clarke, memorizing his features. He was probably about 6 feet tall, dark brown eyes. He was bald and had a facial hair. I'd just never met a dragon, so I was leery of him. Vincent walked up behind me placing a hand on my back to push me past Michael. * "You'll be fine, won't you Michael?" * Micheal looked at both of us. * "Thank you both, for all of this. This is where I want to be. I won't let you down." * My eyes watered and Vincent squeezed his shoulder gently. * "We'll wait outside after school to pick you up." * Michael looked around a little embarrassed. * "Something wrong, Michael?" * He looked at Vincent. * "You won't pick me up in like a Police car, right?" * Vincent smirked. * "No son, look for the Range Rover or my pickup. Have a good day." * That being said, Vincent and I left, leaving Michael for his first day of school. *

    I had to practically pull Chloe from the building as she turned to watch Principal Clarke speak to Michael before they left the office and headed down the hall. “Are you sure we did the right thing by leaving him here? I mean that guy was a dragon shifter, and I’ve never seen or dealt with a dragon shifter.” She whispered the words as I opened the door and we stepped outside. I squeezed her arm gently as we made our way to the car. She knew instantly what I meant and didn’t say another word. Once we were in the vehicle, doors locked and pulling out of the parking lot, Chloe let out a breath and said. “Well, what are we going to do?” Well, I’m going to inform Beck about him. And we will keep an eye on him. I started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot. “I didn’t knew we had dragons in this area. Do you think Beck knows?” I’m not sure but but I think he would have said something if he did. But first things first. I need to find an attorney so we can make everything legal with Michael. I saw her nod from the corner of my eye. It didn’t take long before we were pulling up in front of the house and Tyler was stepping out of the shadows. I turned to Chloe as Tyler opened her door. I leaned over and kissed her gently before pulling back. You start on the paperwork and I’ll head in and talk with Beck and Slade about the Principal. I’ll also ask them if they know anyone that could help us with Michael. Tyler helped Chloe out of the seat and I watched as she headed into the house. I need to see Beck but it won’t be long. “No problem! I’ll keep her safe.” He closed the door and I backed up and turned around as I headed back into town.

* 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 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....
