"Ready to talk?" I opened my eyes at the growled command. "Talk about what? What a piece of shit you are?" I watched as Kristen Bauer was punched in the face. Blood spattered across the concrete, stopping just at my feet. "You're going to beg before this is over." Cantwell was clipping metal clamps to the tips of her fingers. She glared at him as he moved back to a small handheld controller. I tried to move my arms, but the chains were thick and heavy, the silver burning the delicate skin of my wrists. "I never beg, fuck stick." She snapped seconds before he flipped the switch. Her body arched in the chair, her back bowed up, a haunting sound leaving her lips as Cantwell shocked her. Blood poured from her nose before he shut it off. "Now tell me, pussy cat, what are Cooper's plans? We both know he shared it with you." She spit blood at him. "He didn't share shit with me. Unless you count a little dick between enemies." Her voice shook from the pain and I had no idea how she was even handling what they were doing to her. I leaned forward, hoping to ease the contractions that had gripped me off and on since we'd been locked in here. I forced myself to be silent while they continued to torture the woman here to save me. "Little dick, I'm not surprised. He's a worthless coward, a piece of shit, just like his father." Kristen smirked. "Never said it was little, minute man." Cantwell back handed her again and she laughed. I looked at her as if she was crazy. "Is that all you got? Huh? You're pathetic. You betrayed a man who was supposed to be your friend, your Alpha. You stabbed him in the back, and then you took up with his enemy. Wilson has no idea you intend to double cross him, does he? Shouldn't be surprised when it happens." I gasped when my hair was grabbed and my head was forced back. "Keep talking that shit, pussy cat, and I'll kill this bitch. Obviously, she's pretty damn important if Cooper brought his ass back to get her." Kristen growled when Cantwell knelt down beside me. "Little Gracie Lynn. Donovan has had his eye on you from the start. He even asked your Daddy to mate you. But then Gunnar Jericho went and got himself killed by ol' John Luke and your worthless mother took you and ran. There could've been a joined pack, had you just mated Donovan. But you went after pencil dick Eli. And here you are. Ready to welp a pup and no man around to protect you. You really think Donovan is going to let you keep that bastard? If you're smart, you'll smother is as soon as it takes its first breath." He shoved my head against the concrete and I sobbed, unable to keep it back. "Leave her alone!" Kristen bellowed, fighting her restraints. Cantwell strolled back over to her and I pushed myself up, despite the twisting pain in my abdomen. "Stop. Just stop. I'll do whatever I have to, Cantwell, just don't hurt her anymore. Please." I looked up at him, knowing I was filthy and stank to high heaven. "Please."

  1. I shook my head at her. No. I knew how to handle these situations. Hell. Between Caiden, my father, Victor, Caiden's dad and all their friends between New Orleans, LA,and New York city. I had training. I have kicked asses over men's advances and bullying, since I hit puberty. I cleared my throat as Cantwell started to walk toward Gracie. What was she thinking? The woman looked like she was 3 years pregnant and obviously she was in labor. I spit a was of blood toward his booted foot. " You touch her. I'll fucking rip your dick off and make you eat it. Leave her alone. Any man that would rape a pregnant woman shouldn't be allowed to keep it. First thing I'm gonna suggest Quinn change once he's got control of his pack back. " Cantwell tossed his head back and let out a howl of sinister laughter. He looked at one of his goons. " Gag the bitch and then get the pear, but lets strip her lower half and use it in her ass instead of shoving it down her fucking throat, though that would probably shut her up. " I had to mentally go through my encyclopedia of torture devices in my head to figure out what he was talking about, and I winced, but controlled my emotions. Kept my face cool. " Bring it motherfucker. You think I haven't ever had anything in my ass. You're wrong. So fuck it. Stretch my ho....." I was cut off as the gag filled my mouth, but I kept on muttering my words. I wasn't done. " That's better." Cantwell smirked and slapped my cheek as if he were teasing a friend. I hated this asshole and if Quinn didn't hurry. I was going to fucking kill him. I snarled at the sting to my face, but I held myself together. Just like I'd been taught.

  2. * My stomach was sick over Cantwells suggestion. Kristen was gagged and one of the soldiers came in with some metal device that looked like torture on a stick. I looked at Kristen and she seemed unaffected by the threat. "Pay close attention, Grace, because you'll want to be sure and tell Cooper every detail of this." Kristen's eyes met mine. She shook her head as they ripped her out of the chair, carrying her to a metal table. She windmilled her legs and landed a kick across one of the soldiers face. Cantwell slammed her down on the table, moving to her jeans, while the other soldier held her down. Kristen fought and bucked every move he made but her jeans were yanked down. I gagged when I realized his intent and a trickle of fluid spurted from between my thighs. He shoved her legs up and was just starting to shove the metal pear into Kristen when the door slammed open. Donovan Wilson stood in the doorway, taking in the scene. "What are you doing, Cantwell?" His voice was deceptively calm. Tears slid down Kristen's temples but she never made a sound. "I'm trying to get information out of the spy." Blood dripped onto the table. "By sodomizing her? And gagging her? She can't talk if she's dead." Donovan stepped further inside the room. "Remove the pear." His tone brooked no argument. I closed my eyes in a silent prayer of thanks when I heard the metal clang against the floor. "Simon, please release her legs and straighten her clothes." Donovan was too calm and it scared me. Once Kristen was dressed, he pulled her to a sitting position. "I apologize that the accommodations have been so rudimentary, but we aren't here to be friends. Our end goal is to kill Cooper. I'm sure Cantwell had good intentions. But this is where it ends." He gestured for her to be put in the chair. Once she was secured, he opened the door. "Come in and set it up." A gun was set directly behind Kristen on a tripod. "You're our bait. This gun is motion activated. When Cooper locates you by the tracker you so kindly vomited up for us, it'll lead him here. As soon as he opens the door, pow! Bullet to the head. Then, we'll see that you and Grace are taken care of." I shook my head and tears filled my eyes. "Donovan, please. Don't do this." I begged him. I knew Gina and Quinn had been involved at one point, but obviously Kristen was more important to him. They kept her gagged and her face was pale. "Your sentimentality streak is going to get you killed one day, Gracie Lynn Jericho." With that last statement he turned to the door. " I wouldn't turn my back on Cantwell if I were you." I called out to him. "He's just waiting to stab you in it!" Donovan stopped and his head half turned. His eyes met mine. I willed for him to understand that I wasn't lying. I hated him with every fiber of my being for what he had done to Eli; to me and to our unborn child, but I had to warn him. I hoped that maybe, just maybe he would stop this nightmare before it even started. He stepped out the door and everyone else filed out of the room. The door slammed with a ring of finality. "You're insane, you know that, right?" I told her from where I leaned against the wall. I cupped my cramping belly. I was definitely in labor and I was scared out of my mind. "I swear little baby, when this is over we will never be victims again. I swear." I vowed, trying to breathe through the contractions and I meant it.

* 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.
