* I visited with Beck first thing this morning, filling him in on last nights events. I was glad that we were able to find Lettie's granddaughter and she was going to be okay. Beck talked highly of both Alicia and Wade. Grinning as he thought about his time at the Realm. When we finished talking I went back to my office to fill out a report. I was handing it to Bernice when when my phone vibrated in my pocket. * "Good morning Slade." Good morning +Loretta Blackstone how are you and your granddaughter? "We're both fine, thank you and thank you again for your help. I'm calling because my coven has called and they will be just outside the wards in 30 minutes. I was hoping I could get you to drive +Dominic Petrov and I to meet them so Michael could stay with my Ali and Wade? It will give you chance to meet my coven members and Ali's guards. * I headed towards my office to grab my keys and shut my computer down. * I'd be glad to. I'm on my way.

  1. I hung up the phone and turned to face my family. It’s all set! Slade will be here in a few minutes to get Dominic and myself. Ali opened her mouth to say something but I held up my hand to stop her. I know you want to help me honey, and I understand why. But you need to to rest. You can help me far more if you take the time to rest. She pouted but nodded her head. “Okay, I’ll rest. For not, but you’re working too hard and stretching yourself too thin. Magic is a beautiful thing but it’s also hard on a body if you’re overdoing it.” I nodded and smiled knowing she was right. “Grams, you know this was way too much magic to hold together for one person.” I know, that’s why the coven is on their way here now. I may be old but I’m not senile. Turning I headed for the front door. Dominic, are you coming? “Yes, Aunt Loretta!” I looked over my shoulder to see him kissing Ali before he shook Wade’s hand. “Remember little cousin, call us before you teleport again.” He turned away and headed towards me. I opened up the door and waved at Slade as he pulled up to the cabin. Matthew came out of the woods and walked up to me. “You planning on going somewhere without me, Mrs... I put my hands on my hips and he cleared his throat. “Sorry, Lettie, but you don’t go anywhere without me.” Dom, growled and Slade got out of his truck. “It’s okay Matthew. She’s coming with me. I’ll make sure she’s safe and comes back safe and sound.”

  2. * The three of us piled into my pickup and I headed for the outer banks of town. The ride was quiet, until Lettie began to chant and the veil opened to let us out side of the perimeter of the spell. I drove just a little further and stopped just a few feet in front of 3 other vehicles. Nine people stood facing us. * Does everyone here look familiar? * Lettie smiled as she stared at the group in front of us. * "Yes. The two large males on the right are my granddaughters guards. The other 7 are from my coven." * I nodded. * Okay, let's do this. * The three of us filed out and I was surprised to see how easily Dominic and the two large males greeted each other. The coven on the other hand were surprised to see a demon standing in our midst. * "Lettie?" * A tall male growled her name. * "Stop, you all know who my mate was. To think I didn't have relationship with his side of the family is foolish. This is Dominic, he helped us to find Ali when she disappeared. Now that she is safe, he will be heading back home. She turned to face him. Dominic wrapped her in a hug. * "Anytime Auntie. I'm here for you too." * Lettie looked up at him. * "I appreciate that Dom. Thank you." * Dominic stepped back away from everyone and looked at me. I nodded. * Thank you for your assistance. It was nice meeting you. * Dom grinned, looked towards Ali's guards and then disappeared. Shaking my head, I blinked, looking back at the spot that Dom was standing in just a second ago. Lettie laughed. * "Slade, let me introduce you to everyone."

  3. I turned to face Frank and James and smiled. Slade, this is Frank, and his brother James! They are my granddaughter’s guards. They are also panther shifters like Ali. Jordan Pride thought it would be better for her to grow up with panther shifters like her, so she would have someone to ask questions. When they couldn’t answer something, Jordan’s mate took over. James and Frank stepped forward and shook Slade’s hand. James grinned. “Thanks for helping to find Ali. She’s like a little sister to us.” Slade nodded. “It wasn’t a problem. We really appreciate everything that Loretta has done for our town and it’s people.” I sucked in a breath before turning and facing my coven. Pointing, I tried to smile but I knew it didn’t reach my eyes. Turning back to Slade I said. This is Thomas, Jackson and Robert. I looked over at the females. This is Krista, Hazel, Willow and Dreya. I looked at everyone and smiled. Slade Michaels is the Beta of this pack and he will be overseeing everything while you are here. Slade looked at each one of my coven before speaking. “I’ve found cabins for you to stay in while you are here. The males will share a three bedroom cabin and the females will share a four bedroom cabin. If you decide to stay in town permanently, we can talk about other arrangements.” They all nodded and I looked at Frank. Don’t worry, you two will be staying with me. The room Dom stayed in has two large beds in it. Slade cleared his throat and everyone looked at him. “I think we should get back. I’ve still got to check in with my enforcers and let them know that we have some new folks in town.”

  4. * We made our way back into town and stopped at the cabin the females would be staying in. Everyone got out of their cars and Lettie asked for the members of her coven to gather around. She opened her hand to show the seven crystals. * "I'm sure you can all sense the protection spell I have around McGregor. I'm going to link your crystals to me, so even if you're not close, it will be easier to send me power." * The seven of them nodded and surrounded her, resting one hand on her and the other hand on the person beside them until they were all connected. Lettie closed her eyes and bowed her head. A quiet chant came from her and when she was done the crystals glowed brighter than any of the other crystals I'd seen. She handed each member a crystal and they placed them in a locket that was around their necks. Lettie looked at me and nodded. I looked at the cabin in front of us. * This is the cabin for the females. The three males went to their car and grabbed their bags as we walked towards the front door. I unlocked it and flipped the switch as we went inside. * I had a total sweep done of both cabins. Nothing should be lurking inside. You will each have your own bedrooms with your own bathrooms. * "Nice!" * One of the females piped up. I walked inside and went to the hall with the bedrooms. Opening each bedroom doors. * There is a mud room in the back of the house with a washer and dryer for laundry. The kitchen is fully stocked including the refrigerator. I left spare keys to the house and a paper with my cell phone number and office number on it. There is also my second hand mans number on there, his name is Cole. If you have any trouble or need anything, just call. There will also be a enforcer who will stay outside the house at all times while you are here. It's standard procedure for us. * The four females smiled and nodded. Lettie hugged them and they followed us back out onto the porch. I pointed towards the trees. A male walked out of the shadows. * This is Pete, he will be your guard, but also, see the walking path? It will lead you right to the back door of the cabin Lettie is staying in. * Lettie smiled. * Thank you, Slade. That gives me a little peace of mind knowing they are close by. * She turned to the females. * "Let's do lunch at my place. Let's say 1:00?" * The four females nodded and the rest of us headed back to their cars. *

  5. * We drove a couple blocks down the same street to another cabin. The males filed out of their SUV, automatically grabbing their bags. We headed to the cabin and I opened it up. This is a 3 bedroom cabin, but I'm afraid 2 of you will have to share a bathroom. One room has it's own bathroom * "Dude, this is sweet!" * The males took in the front room. It had high ceilings that peaked. A large fire place with an even bigger flat screen t.v. It was the ultimate bachelor pad. * Same as the females, the house is furnished. Keys and phone numbers are on the counter. Fastest route to Lettie's cabin is back up the street towards the females cabin, go 3 blocks, take a left. It's the second cabin on the left. The males nodded. * This is great Slade. Thanks. * I nodded towards the male who spoke up. He seemed to be a little older and had the in charge complex about him. The others looked up to him. Finally we left and I took Lettie back to her cabin with the two panther shifters following us. * "I'll meet with my coven this afternoon and we'll start working on a spell to find Kaiyo and the witch. I'd like for you to have Kaiyo's family, Reese and maybe a few of your best enforcers ready to go at 10:00 in the morning. As soon as we have Kaiyo home safe, I promise to have a look at Jordan and take care of the three shifters in lock up." * I pulled up to her cabin and let her out. The two males got out and gave Lettie a hug. Stepping back from them, she pulled two crystals from her pocket. I watched as she explained to them what to do. They activated their crystals and deposited them in their pockets. Grabbed their bags and headed inside. I backed out of the drive and headed towards the station. Looked like I needed to fill Beck in on what just took place. *

* 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.
