* 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. *

  1. * I held Kimiko's hand as I drove us back to Julian's house. As soon as I parked, Kim burst out of the car and ran inside. I followed her inside. She had Kaiyo's hairbrush in her hand when she met me in the hall. " Help me with her vanity mirror, please." I nodded and stepped in Kaiyo's room. I held the mirror as Kim loosened the bolts holding it onto it's frame. It was a little heavier than I expected but I wrappwd it in a blanket and carried it out to the car. I placed it on the floor of the backseat, Kim got in and looked at me, the fear still in her eyes. I took her hand and kissed her knuckles.* We will get Kaiyo back, I promise. * She nodded, biting her lip. I started the car and headed to Loretta's cabin. It wasn't far and hopefully when we got there we'd get some answers. *

  2. Leaving the station with Julian. I was beyond pissed and scared. I said nothing as we both got into my truck. Julian just looked out the window as I drove the short distance to his office. I should of never left her side yesterday. I should have made sure she was safe. Pulling up to the clinic we both got out of my truck and headed inside. Jules gave us both a warm smile but that changed quickly. “Is everything okay Dr. Julian?” “Jules, can you please take Reese to a room for me, I need to draw some blood from him. *She nodded and showed me to my room. I was already wearing short sleeves so there was no need to change. She left the room and I could hear her and Julian talking in the hall. When Julian came back in he was carrying a tray with a needle and two vials on it. I looked at him and sighed. We can’t lose her. I won’t lose her. Not another one. Julian spun to face me. “Explain.” Sighing I kept looking at him. I explained how I lost my first almost mate in a bank robbery. He said nothing but his eyes softened a little as he drew my blood. He patched my arm up. “I do not know how much blood she will need so we will give her these two vials.” I nodded and stopped him from walking away. I do love her. I want to mate her and make her happy. I know she is young and has plans and I respect that. I’m not going to rush her or push her into anything. After this if she still wants me I’ll be here. But we need to get her back. Julian just stared at me. “We can discuss this once we have her back. Now is not the time.” Yes, it is. I need you to know this. I will do everything in my power to get her back. I jumped off the bed and stood in front of him. I would bring your medical bag. If anyone that is not us gets in our way they are going to get hurt.

  3. While I waited for Jules to take Reese to a room, I headed to my office scared for Kaiyo. I wanted to kill whoever had taken her, but I also wanted to know what made her leave the safety of the house. Shaking my head I picked up the bag that was sitting on my desk and walked out of my office as Jules stepped out of the room she had taken Reese in. Walking up to her I really didn’t know what to say. could you please cancel my appointments for the day? Kaiyo is missing and we believe that she was kidnapped. She sucked in a breath as her eyes widened. “I’m so sorry! Have the enforcers started looking for her?” Yes, we have a lead and we are working to protect the town so no one else goes missing. Jules nodded as I lifted the bag in my hand. I need you to do a favor for me! When she nodded and said she’d be happy too, I handed her the bag. There’s a new female in town, well she’s an old resident and she hasn’t been back very long. “Are you talking about the female that brought Jordan home?” Nodding. Yes! I need you to give her this for me. I passed Jules the bag and she smiled up at me. “I’ll make sure she gets it. As a matter of fact, the ladies and I are going to her family home to help her clean up.” Why don’t you take the appointment list with you and I’ll let you know if you’ll need to call tomorrow’s patients later. That way you don’t have to come in to do it. If there’s an emergency I’ll come in but I’m going to be looking for my sister. She nodded and I stepped to the closed door as Jules went back to her desk to get ready to leave. I picked up the tray Jules sat on the desk by the door and stepped into the room then made my way to the sink, washing my hands. Listening to Reese talk about his feelings for my sister was hard. I only wanted to get her home. I drew his blood then placed a bandage on his arm. When Reese continued to talk about what he wanted with Kaiyo, I finally stopped him. I knew he was her mate but I wanted her safe and sound before we discussed her future. My head snapped up at his words about my bringing my medical bag with us and I growled. I don’t give a fuck about anyone who took her. They can die and I wouldn’t give a shit. I looked at him and he seemed to agree. I picked up the vials with his blood, placing them in a small case to keep them safe. Let’s get to Loretta’s place. We stepped out of the room as Jules and her guard were heading to the door. She pulled out her keys as Reese and I stepped outside and headed to his truck. In moments we were on the road heading to find out where Kaiyo and I had no doubt that when we found her she would be safe. But safety was something that witch and whoever was helping her were never going to know.

* 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.
