* My family's home was now clean but empty. Rae told me to expect pack members to show up. When I asked her why, she smiled and said that the pack takes care of their own. I couldn't thank her enough and by the time she took me to the motel to gather my meager belongings and back, I had a bed, with new sheets and a comforter. A kitchen table and chairs, dishes, two fans and a couch, chair and coffee table. Rae helped me make the bed, for which she produced two pillows from her SUV, plus some clothes. I was on the verge of tears the entire time. When Jackson came in with a coffeemaker, coffee, cream and sugar, plus two bags of groceries, I burst into tears. Rae hugged me, let me jnow that she and her friends would be by with more, si I had to suck it up. Plus Slade found someone to fix the water heater.

Now, I had a home, a job and friends. I actually felt at home. Before Rae left she told me to stay put, that the Alpha needed everyone to be home so they could receive a crystal for protection. She hugged me and left saying if she didn't hurry her mate would skin her alive. I shut the door and locked it after she left, fixed myself a soda and played with my phone. I wanted to call +Julian Takumi so bad, I even started to when there was a knock on my front door. I peeked out to see who it was and opened the door happily.* Hi! I was just about to call you, Julian.

  1. * His kiss shocked me. I grabbed on to his biceps, moaning, his tongue touching mine. My body responded in a way that I've never felt before. I released his arms and leaned into him, pressing my body against his. My heartbeat was so loud in my ears, my skin felt electric and I couldn't stop kissing him. Is this what desire felt like? If so, I wanted more. When we finally came up for air, I could only stare into his eyes. I was scared of this feeling, yet wanted more of it. I wasn't sure of what to say, my mouth opened and words tumbled out.* That was my first real kiss..that I enjoyed.

  2. I couldn’t help it, I grinned at her words. I’m glad you enjoyed it, because I definitely did. Her eyes widened and she blushed again. Damn, I love your blush. Her skin turned darker as another blush emerged. “Are you for real?” I looked into her beautiful eyes. I hope so, because the things I’m feeling are very real. I took her hand and pulled her over to the couch and we sat down. I think was exhausted but I also needed this time with her before I got back to looking for Kaiyo. I pulled Brennan closer to me and let my head fall back against the top of the couch. I felt Brennan relax against me as she spoke. “Has there been any word on your sister yet?” I blow out a breath before answering her. The only thing we know is that a witch has her. It’s the reason for the spell around the town. We don’t want the witch getting away with Kaiyo. We also don’t want her calling in others to help her. Brennan was quiet as I talked and I realized I could sit here forever if Kaiyo wasn’t in danger. I want you to stay where Spencer can keep an eye on you. Please don’t go anywhere without him. It’s been a long time since you’ve been in McGregor. There are so many new faces and I need you safe while I search for Kaiyo. I felt Brennan nod against my chest as I talked. I’ll try to get you started at work soon. When I leave here I have to go by the clinic to activate the crystal then I’ll head home to do the same. I let out a breath as I waited to see if she would say anything.

  3. I hope you find your sister soon and, that she is alright when you do. * I had a flash of memory, back to Jordan and the loss of her memories. I shook my head slightly, praying that the same thing did not happen to Kaiyo. I knew Julian had to get going, he had a sister to find and his own home and business to protect. I'd love for him to stay so we could talk more, and the kisses were a bonus but, until Kaiyo was safe at home, neither of us could have relaxed. I gave him a quick hug and held his hand with both of mine.* Go, find your sister, do whatever it takes. I'll be here, waiting for you. I promise. And, if there is something that I can help with, please let me know.

* 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.
