I’d gotten the 6 crystals, making sure Bernice had marked off Tyler, and my family from her list. I told Slade I would be back once I had delivered they crystals to Chloe, Michael and Tyler. As I walked I watched as Ian grabbed his crystals then headed for his truck after a quick conversation with Slade. He nodded to me as I opened the door to my truck. “I’ll meet you back here in an hour.” I grinned as I looked around the town. Then we can do our rounds, maybe we will find out where Kaiyo is being held. He nodded as the grin left my face. Everyone was on alert but were told that if we happened to find out where the witch was holding the girl we weren’t to go in after her. I can still hear Beck’s voice as I headed for home. “Don’t go in if you happen to find them. Just get your asses back here and Mrs. Blackstone will do the rest.” I pulled onto my driveway and parked, looking around as I got out of my truck. When I closed the door I whistled low and waited for Tyler to come out of the woods. “What’s up, Vincent?” *I pulled out two crystals from my pocket and handed them to Tyler. Just wanted to give you these. You need to keep one on you at all times while you are not at home. The other is for your home. “I saw and felt the spell as it was cast. I’ve never seen anything like that.” It was something to see. We spoke for a few minutes then he got back to work and I headed into the house. Michael, +Chloe Cross, I’m home! “In the kitchen.” I walked in and they were sitting at the table, books and papers spread out in front of them. Chloe looked up, a smile on her face. “I didn’t know you would be home so early.” I’m only here for a few minutes. I’m here to give you your crystals.

  1. * Sighing I put my pencil down and lost my smile. One of our females had disappeared in the middle of the night. They don't know how or why the witch had chosen her or why Kaiyo had even been willing to go. It scared me, what kind of magic had they used? Physically I can fight, but I can't battle magic. Vincent sat down beside me and squeezed my hand. * "We're going to be fine. I promise." * I nodded and tried to let my anxiousness go. * Vincent pulled some crystals out of his pocket setting one in front of Michael and one in front of me and a third one on the table. He held one more in his hand. * "These crystals will let us know if anyone other than those that hold these crystals has come within pack land." * He took one crystal placed it against his heart and it began to glow green. He looked at Michael and back to me. * "Both of you need to place your crystal on your heart to activate it and then keep it on you at all times." * The fourth crystal began to glow all on it's own. He picked it up and set it on the fireplace mantel. * "This one stays here in the house at all times. If you leave, take a shower. Your stone should always be right beside you." * Michael and I both nodded. * Have you found her? * I asked quietly. Vincent shook his head no. * "No, but we will. Until then, If you don't have to go out, stay home. If you run into someone who seems suspicious or off, you report it to one of us, do not engage them. That is Loretta's job." Okay. * Vincent looked at Michael. * I'd like for you to stay home at night instead of hanging out with your friends, at least until we take care of this threat. I'm going to be working some extra hours until we do and knowing that you are home to help keep Chloe safe, would make me feel better. * Michael nodded agreed. *

  2. I looked at them both as Michael nodded and I could see my words were good for the boy to hear and he knew he was part of the family. I picked up my crystal then took out my wallet along with my and watched as the crystal flattened then put it in my wallet. “Wow, that’s amazing.” Michael said as I slid my wallet back into my pocket. I grinned at him. Yes, it is amazing.* It’s the magic! Mrs. Blackstone explanation didn’t really make sense but what I got for it is the magic makes the crystal conform to what you need, when you need it. “Wow!” Michael said again. I chuckled even though the need for such magic wasn’t lost on me. I pulled Chloe from the seat she had taken again after we returned to the kitchen and pulled her into my arms. I don’t know what time I’ll be home tonight but no one can enter our home now. The crystal protects the house, plus Tyler and Michael are here and they won’t let anything happen to you. She looked up at me before giving me a kiss. “I know! What about the bar? Is Reese taking care of it and the employees?” I kissed the top of her head as we started walking to the front door. Yes, he should be doing that as we speak. I would really like to keep him on as the bar manager when you and Meg go back to work. It will free up your time and we can start planning vacations. I want to take you to visit my parents. I heard Chloe’s heart speed up and her body tensed up. They want to meet you. “I know, I’m just scared to meet them. What if they don’t like me?” I laughed and kissed her again. They are gonna love you as much as I do. I’ve got to go. I’ll see you both later. Remember don’t go out unless you absolutely have to. Michael yelled from the kitchen. “Don’t worry Vincent, we won’t go anywhere.” Chloe smiled up at me. “What he said.” I kissed her again then opened the door. Tyler nodded from the side of the house as I got into my truck. Soon I was back at the station waiting for Slade. I had radioed him and was told to meet him here. I wondered if something was wrong or had he found the girl. But once I gotten here I was told the search was still ongoing. As I stepped outside to wait I couldn’t help but remember about when my Chloe was taken and I was glad we had Mrs. Blackstone here to help.

* 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.
