{I opened my eyes and tried to get them to focus. I was lightheaded and reached up to move my hair from my face. I slowly moved my leg and felt the warm body behind me. I inhaled a little and immediately relaxed. Wade! My Wade was holding me and for a moment I thought I dreamed the whole thing. I couldn’t have teleported. But then I looked around the room and realized that it wasn’t my bedroom. I turned to face Wade and his arm tightened around me.} “Stay still! No more teleporting anymore. Do you realize how much you scared us? I called Demitri. Dominic came right away and Lettie felt you here.” {I sucked in a breath and remembered what triggered the teleport.} How is she? “She’s fine. Worried about you. She looks tired but once we found you and after we found out you were okay, I could see she looked better.” {I nodded and tried to get up when Wade tightened his grip on me and kissed my forehead.} “Where do you think you are going?”

  1. I woke up feeling better than I’d felt since I moved to McGregor. Opening my eyes, I looked around my room and didn’t hear anyone moving around. Getting up I headed for my bathroom and showered. Wrapping a towel around myself I stepped out of the shower and turned off the water. I brushed my teeth then dressed and headed for the kitchen to make breakfast. I was surprised to see Wade, Dom and Ali sitting at the table. Ali was drinking a glass of orange juice while Wade and Dominic waited on the coffee The was filling the pot. I smiled as I looked over my granddaughter making sure she was okay. So, how is everyone doing this morning. Ali looked at me and grinned. “I’m fine grams. How are you you?” I grinned back as I pulled bacon and eggs out of the refrigerator. I placed them on the counter before going back and getting the milk and butter. Grabbing a large bowl and the bread, I started breaking the eggs into the bowl. I hope everyone likes French toast? I looked over and smiled as Dominic’s eyes lit up. “You’re going to spoil me, Auntie! But I like it.” I laughed as I melted the butter in the pan and dipped the bread in the mixture then put it in the pan. The bacon sizzled in the other pan and I watched as Wade can over and removed the cooked bacon and put more in the pan. Thanks for the help Wade. At times like this I really miss Frank and James. Wade laughed. “I know what you mean. They are a big help around the house. But it’s nothing like what Dom is used too.” I turned and looked at Dom, a brow raised. And you had me feeling sorry for you.

  2. * I shrugged and grinned. * What? Demitri makes sure we are well taken care of. * Wade laughed and Lettie shook her head. The smell of the bacon made my stomach rumble. Lettie fixed a plate with French toast and bacon. I reached for it and then winced when I got an elbow to the gut. * Ouch cousin! What was that for? * I played wounded and Wade laughed outloud. * "Ladies first, especially pregnant ones." * Ali said and then reached for the plate. I chuckled and watched her as she ate, glad that she was alright. I contacted Demitri through our bond, letting him know that Ali was fine and that I'd be home soon. * Demitri is glad that everyone is okay. * The four of us ate breakfast and visited. Lettie filled us in on what was happening in McGregor. * "I want to stay and help Gram's. * I dropped my fork and looked at my cousin. Wade and Lettie didn't appear surprised. * Is that really a good idea in your condition? * I looked towards her belly. * "If you're so worried about me you can stay and help too? * She cocked a brow at me. * I'll do anything to keep you safe, but I won't meddle in others affairs. Besides, we unfortunately have some things going on that is taking me out of the country for a bit. But if anything comes up and you need help. Don't hesitate to call. You know we're here for you. * I looked at all three of them. * "I appreciate that Dom, you saved my ass this time. I would have gone mad if I couldn't have gotten to her. * Lettie's cell phone rang. * Frank! * It was quiet for a minute. * Wow, did you speed the whole way? Yes, Ali is with me, she's fine. I'll see you in a few minutes. You won't be able to get into town without me. * She placed the phone down on the table. * "It seems that Frank and James are about thirty minutes out and they've met up with the coven somewhere along the way. Just then there was a knock on the door. The four of us looked at each other and then Wade and I got up to answer the door. I grinned down at the Doctor. * Good morning Julian.

  3. I got up early wanting to get back to some sort of normalcy. I know I would go crazy if I didn’t get back to work. Taking care of Loretta’s granddaughter last night felt good and I realized that if I didn’t have my work I wouldn’t be any good to my sister when we found her. I made calls to Jules and Meghan as well as Brennan, telling them that the clinic would be back to regular hours and to be at work. I wanted Meghan to help Jules train Brennan at the front desk. Rae would also be remaining at the clinic but only part time. Her little boy would be starting school and she wanted to do something to help out our community and she loved working at the clinic. I ate breakfast with Kimiko and Takahiro, grabbed my medical bag and headed to Loretta’s place to check on her granddaughter. It took about ten minutes and I was out of my car and knocking on the door. I heard two sets of foot falls heading to the door and knew immediately who it was. A second later the door opened and I looked into the faces of Loretta’s grandson in law and her nephew. The large demon grinned down at me and smiled smiled at how big he was. “Good morning Julian.” The demon said before he and Wade moved back letting me enter. I followed Wade to the kitchen while Dominic closed the door then followed us. Alicia was seated at the table eating. She looked up at me, a question on her face. I was happy to see her up and eating. “Ali, baby, this is Julian, McGregor’s Doctor! Julian this is my granddaughter, Alicia! He took care of you last night once we found you.” Alicia looked at me again and smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, Doctor. Thank you for checking me out. I’m so sorry I got you out of your home last night and this morning.” I smiled back as I made my way closer to her. I placed my bag on the table then took a seat. It’s my job so no need to thank me. I’m happy to see that you are eating. Do you have any pain or is your appetite different than it normally is? She shook her head as she thought about my questions. “No, no pain and my eating and drinking are normal.” If you are planning on going home today, I’d like to do an sonogram. She smiled. “Do I have to do it right away? We are planning to stay for a while. That is if the Alpha agrees.” My eyes widened but I masked my reaction. No, not right away but id like to make sure you are okay before you leave. Alicia nodded and smiled. “I’m an OB/GYN so I know how important it is to make sure everything is okay.” Really, then I’ll trust you to stop by my clinic in a day or two. I stood as I grabbed my bag. Loretta get her in to see me. Loretta and Alicia both agreed and I turned to shake hands with Wade then Dominic before heading for the door and to the clinic.

* 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.
