Once I’d made up my mind it didn’t take long for me to put things in motion. One of my coven members was a real estate agent and he had my house on the market by the end of the day. I’d arranged for most of my furniture to be sold, so I would only take my most beloved possessions with me. I sold my old car and gotten a Jeep that was great on mileage and gas. Then I arranged to get a small Uhaul to attach to the back of my Jeep. I didn’t know where I was going but I was so ready for the change. The females of my coven helped me pack all my clothes, shoes and any other miscellaneous things I wanted to bring with me. My spell books were packed and put in the trailer along with all my legal books. I knew wherever I made my next home I would be needing both. I put a suitcase in the back of the Jeep so I would be able to have easy excess when stopping at hotels. Smiling, I hugged the members of my coven and promised to call and let someone know where I was every night, as well as inform them when I found a town I liked. Thomas made sure my bikes were put on the back of the Jeep before turning to me.

Thomas made sure my bikes were put on the back of the Jeep before turning to me.

“I wish you’d take one of the males with you. I’d feel a helluva lot better.” I raised a brow and put my hands on my hips. I’ll be fine, and besides I’ve been taking care of myself for hundreds of years. Stop worrying! Getting into the Jeep, I put on my hat and sunglasses before turning on the engine. I waved one last time to my friends and yes, my family before pulling out of the driveway. I made one last stop at the bank on my way out of town. I informed the bank manager that once I found my new home I would make arrangements to have my money transferred to my new bank. “I’ll have everything ready to go as soon as I hear from you.” He smiled and thanked me for my years of business. I left the bank and it wasn’t long before I was on the highway heading for my new life. But I was going to need to make one last change. I was going to need to say a much needed goodbye to this elderly face and body. As a witch, I didn’t age and it would be nice not to have to use this spell ever again. I made sure to set the supplies I needed in a box in the passenger seat and when I was out of the state and was sure no one I knew in the town I had lived in for over 40 years was near, I pulled over and got ready to cast the spell that would give me back the face that I had not seen in over 40 years. I turned off the engine and looked around as I got everything I needed. I made sure I was alone one last time and when I was sure I was the only one on the dirt road, I lit the two white candles and took the small watch in my hand and whispered the words that were part of my memory.

Reverse the time for this spell of mine. I hold this clock to turn back the time on this body of mine. I am a young, healthy, vibrant female of 35. I repeated the words twice more then blew out the candles. I looked back in the rear view mirror and smiled when I saw the face of my youth. I put everything back in the box, turned the engine on and headed for a new start. I had driven through 4 states and it was almost 10 pm when I finally decided to pull into a hotel for the night. I pulled into the parking lot and turned off the Jeep. I grabbed my handbag and my keys then headed inside. A young man was at the counter when I entered. I smiled at him and he smiled and nodded. “Hello ma’am! Welcome to Days Inn.” Hello, I’m going to need a room for the night. “Yes, ma’am.” He started typing as soon as I gave him my information then handed me a keycard along with the credit card. I thanked him and said goodnight and headed to my Jeep to get my suitcase. I was about to go back into the hotel when my cellphone rang. I stopped walking, let go of my suitcase then dug my phone from my handbag. I looked at the name on the display and smiled. I hit the button and said. Lily, what a ni ce surprise!

    *After I hung up with Lily, I headed to my room as I started to make plans and work on my new clients case. Pulling out my laptop, I turned it out and got out something to sleep in and clothes for tomorrow as I waited for the computer to boot up. I was going to need more information such as names and a few other things, but I could print up the paperwork now, then get the rest once I got to North Dakota. It was going to be somewhat tricky with the shifter aspect but it was doable. I smiled to myself as I realized this was something that I needed and it felt good to think of working as an attorney again. Taking a seat at the desk I went to the dot gov website for North Dakota I found the forms I needed and emailed them to myself. Once I got to McGregor I’d print them out before I met with my clients. I shutdown the computer and put it away then headed into the bathroom and took a shower. I had to smile at myself in the mirror when I saw myself. It had been so long since I had seen this face looking back at me. Shaking my head I turned on the water and took a quick shower, dried off then dressed in the pajamas I pulled out. I looked at myself in the mirror again and realized that I needed a new wardrobe. Yes, I was stylish but I was going to need clothes for a younger female. Stepping back into the bedroom I picked up my phone and dialed Thomas.*

    “It’s about time you called. I was getting worried.” *I shook my head at the way he was going on. I was a 300 + year old witch and could take care of myself.* I’m fine Thomas! I stopped at a Days Inn about four states over. “I know you can take care of yourself Lettie but I worry about you.” *I knew he had feelings for me but I wasn’t interested in having a relationship with one of my coven members. It was unprofessional and I didn’t need the other members of the coven whispering.* I’m going to be heading to North Dakota when I leave here. I got a call from Prophet Lily. She’s there working and called me in to help with a problem someone is having. “Really? She must really need your help. How long will you be there?” *I thought about it and realized that I had headed in the direction of North Dakota without understanding why. My Intuition was working and it was leading me to North Dakota.* Anyway, that’s where I’m headed. I’ll check out of here in the morning and will call on my next stop. *Thomas was silent for a moment and I knew he was going to start up again about someone coming with me, but I stopped him before he started.* I’m fine and I don’t need or want someone following me like I’m a child. Have you decided if you were staying there or finding another coven ? I think you should think about finding another mate. It’s been a long time. He didn’t say anything and I knew he was hurt. He had feelings for me but I just wasn’t interested in becoming involved with him or any other member of my coven. “I haven’t thought about a new coven. I thought I’d follow you. I know you aren’t interested in a relationship with me, Lettie. But I can still care about you.”

    *I sucked in a breath.* I just don’t want to go down that road with you. I love you but only as a member of the coven. If and when I choose to become interested in a male again, it won’t be someone like a brother to me. Now, you get some rest and I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Good night! *I hung up the phone then cast a protection spell around my room. After all I was a single female, alone. Turning off the lights I drifted off to sleep. Morning came early but I slept very well. I got up, showered and dressed then packed up my things. I had breakfast then checked out. I took the handle of my suitcase and turned to leave but stopped. Turning back to the human female at the desk a cleared my throat, and when she looked up and smiled, she said.*

    “Can I help you with something else?” Yes! Can you tell me where the closest mall or clothing store is? “I’d be happy too.” *She went to the next desk and pulled out a pamphlet then handed it to me.* “This is a list of the nearest shopping centers with directions.” *Smiling, I took the pamphlet as I thanked her and headed out to my Jeep. It didn’t take long for me too find a center and get everything I needed. I got some sandwiches, some drinks and some chips. I wasn’t going to stop again unless I had to use the restroom. I put my new clothes and things in the back of the Jeep, along with my suitcase. I put my food on the floor in the passenger side, turning on some music as I made my way to the highway and North Dakota.

* 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....
