As we made our way back to the police station I could see the enforcer named Cole Ross as he was putting the last of the large crystals into the ground in the center of town. I nodded as the protective bubble formed. I watched as the towns people stopped walking or doing whatever they were doing and looked around, fear on some of their faces. I looked up into my rear view mirror and looked into Kimiko’s eyes and tried to give her a reassuring smile. Turning the corner I pulled into the parking lot and got out of my Jeep and watched as the others found spaces to park and got out of their cars and walked over to me, and we all started for the building. I was just to the steps of the building when I heard my name being called. “Mrs. Blackstone?” I turned to face Cole as he looked down at me. “If you’re looking for Vincent and Ian they will be around back. Beck has the towns people coming here to get the crystals. We will then go house to house and check anyone that doesn’t show up.” I nodded, trying as I tried to clear my head. I was getting weaker by the minute I needed to call the others to reinforce the spell and keep it going. But I’d have to speak with Beck about that. Okay, show me the way and we can get started!

  1. * I watched as the pack gathered into the yard of the station, mostly males but some of the unmated females had shown also. A few had stopped and acquired about Jordan's well being. I didn't say too much, wanting to keep her condition to myself and family. The crowd was loud and I needed to quiet them down. Jumping up on the bench, I let out a howl that turned everyone's attention to me. Suddenly it was so quiet you could hear the rustle of the wind through the trees and all eyes were on me. I saw Kimiko, Julian, Takahiro and Reese stand off to the side of the crowd as Miss Blackstone stood beside me. * I'm sure some of you have heard that their was a kidnapping in the middle of the night. * There were a few audible gasps. * +Kaiyo Nakatomi was taken from her home in the middle of the night. We don't know a lot of details, but we do believe that a witch is involved. I'm sure a few of you felt the ripple of power that seemed to cover our town just a few minutes ago. Miss Blackstone, a well known powerful witch has agreed to help us protect the pack and fight to get Kaiyo back. She has put a protection spell up around McGregor, but she will also need each person to carry one of these crystals on you at all times and also have one in your home. * I held up a crystal that seemed to glow a bright green. Enforcers began to move through the crowd to pass them out to each person. * Not only will this help protect you, but It will also notify us if the enemy comes within the spelled area. If you should come across someone you don't know, consider them an enemy. Contact myself or one of my enforcers, do not engage in a fight. * I looked over at Bernice who was crossing off the names of the people she saw at the meeting, we needed a list of those who did not show so we could send enforcers to their houses and make sure they all had a crystal and understood how dire the situation was right now. * I need each of you to see Bernice before you leave, so we can catch up with those who couldn't make it to the meeting. Be vigilant as you go about your day.

  2. I watched as Slade spoke to everyone and when he was done he looked down at me, smiling. “Do you have anything to add?” Smiling back I nodded. Yes! He jumped off of the bench and helped me step up onto it. I looked out at the crowd as they looked at me, waiting for me to speak.* The crystals are very safe and once you place them to your heart and in your home no one else will be able to use them. I watched as parents took crystals and placed them to their children’s hearts then put them in their child’s pockets before doing the same to themselves. Others helped any elderly that were in the crowd. I turned to Slade and he helped me down. I saw Julian make his way over to me as he removed his cell phone from his ear. “I have a friend that needs a few of the crystals along with her guard. I’ll also take mine. I need one for my home and one for the clinic.” I turned to the bag that held the crystals and pulled out the crystals and handed them to him then I handed one to Kimiko , Takahiro and Reese. Julian thanked me then turned to leave. Julian, once I speak to +Beck Hadrian and get some rest I’ll call you and we will start the search again. *He nodded. “Thank you for all your help.” He turned and I watched as he and the others moved to the back of the crowd. Closing my eyes I felt bad that I hadn’t found his sister. I opened my eyes when I felt Beck’s powerful Ora. He walked over to where I stood with Slade. “Has everyone received their crystals?” Slade shook his head as he met Beck’s eyes. “No! Bernice is checking off everyone that is here so we know who hasn’t come into town. The enforcers will make some house calls and make sure all our people get them.” Beck nodded. “Good, I’m sending everyone home so we can get started with going out to the homes of the others.” He started to turn so he could address everyone and I cleared my throat.* Beck, I’d like to request that my coven come here to help me maintain the spell. We are connected by blood and the spells I’ve done will get stronger. “What do you mean connected by blood?” Beck said, his brow raised.* They took a blood oath when they joined my coven. Most covens don’t do that but they wanted me to know they would be loyal to only me. He didn’t say anything and I could see he was thinking about what I had said, so I kept my eyes on his and waited for his answer.

  3. * I didn't understand witch craft or covens because my experience with witches had been limited to Loretta. She was the first witch I'd ever known. * They're welcome. If their loyal to you, I'll be loyal to them. * She smiled and I saw how tired she looked. * Thank you, Beck. I know this has been challenging for you and I apologize for that. * I touched her arm to help her down off the bench. * We would have been in much worse shape had you not been here. You should rest. I'll make sure the crystals are distributed. If your coven sisters need transportation, I'll be sure to supply it. * Loretta nodded. * Thank you. * She went to move past me when her legs buckled. I caught her and swung her up. * I'm sorry...the spells...make me weak. * I looked at Slade. * We need to get her back to her cabin. * She struggled to get down. * My Jeep .. * I tightened my hold on her. * We'll get your Jeep. But you need to rest. You're no good to Kaiyo dead on your feet. * She nodded and I moved to my truck. * Slade, pass me the crystals for Rae and Thomas. * Loretta nodded. * And your cabin, too. * Slade handed me three of them. As soon as I took them in my palm, they pulsed and turned green. Power emanated from them to my arm. I slid Loretta into the passenger seat. She could hardly hold her eyes open. I turned to Slade. * I'm going to take her home, then make sure Rae and Thomas are protected. I'll be back to help distribute the rest. * I looked to Bernice. * I want a copy of the list of those who didn't show on my desk. We're going to be addressing those that choose to ignore a direct order from their Alpha and his chosen enforcers. * Bernice saluted me in her sassy way and I got in the truck to take Loretta home and then get to my family to protect them. *

* 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.
