"Oh! Oh! I found him." My girl shouted, bouncing excitedly on my thigh.
" What's his name sweetheart?" I ask, spinning my head around to check out an image of the last unidentiy dead man on my phone.
" Mark Wilson he was a Chiropractor from Hayward California. And look here" Andie murmured pointing towards the dead guys friends list " He was friends with the zoologist and the Mortician and these two guys here. Their all in group photos together on all their Facebook pages.They all attended college together at Southern Illinois University but none of them are friends with the assassin. None of them have any pictures of him on their Facebook page or any other association with him."
" What did you find out about the other two?"
"This guy here in the gray t-shirt standing next to the zoologist his name is Stan Foster .He's a wilderness guide that lives in Juneau. He does those weekend wilderness adventures and guided fishing trips. And the other man standing next to him. His name is Dylan Cox, he's a wildlife biologist from Denver Colorado "Andie murmured pointing out each man in a photo that looks like it was taken at a campsite along side a mountain stream.
In the photo each man was holding up a can of beer with big smiles on their face. Obviously enjoying an outdoor adventure together just relaxing and having fun. It made me wonder, how such normal looking guys with decent jobs found themselves becoming kidnappers with bullets in their head.
Then it dawned on me that Andie just found one of the best leads so far." So sweetheart this guy in the gray shirt lives in Juneau?" I ask, pointing to the guy in the gray t-shirt with his arm draped over the zoologist's shoulder.
" Yeah,he's the wildness guide, his name is Stan Foster. Do you know him? My girl ask shoving my phone closer for me to get a better
look at the man's face .
I took a closer look at the guy in the picture and just like the ones I had shot. This guy was in good shape, his muscular upper body stretching the fabric of the gray t-shirt he was wearing."No sweetheart, I can't say that I do. But I plan to pay him a visit tonight. Skyler" I called out to my Beta " See if you can get a current address for Stan Foster in Juneau."
" Already on it." Skyler responded and within a few minutes he was already giving me the information I needed "Found two, one is a 56 year old man that lives on West 11th street and the other is a twenty eight year old that lives on Roger Street."
" Let's head out" I murmured patting my girl's thigh to have her stand up.
After my girl was off my lap I slid my desk dewar open and took out my pistol instructing Skyler to do the same. " Go get your gun and meet me in the big garage in fifteen minutes."
Then I held my hand out for my girl." Come on sweetheart,I need to grab a jacket from my room."
Skyler sprinted off to his office while Andie and I ran upstairs to my bedroom. I grabbed my rain jacket and threw it on to conceal the gun on my side and pulled my girl into my arms. Holding her close to me in a tight hug before I kissed her forehead " I'll be back in a few hours sweetheart." I murmured, hating the fact that I had to leave her here.But there was nothing I could do about it.
I didn't know what kind of danger I could be walking into and I needed to keep my girl safe no matter how uncomfortable I feel without her by my side.
" No, I want to go with you". She protested, clinging to my chest like an adorable little spider monkey."We need to ask him questions not just shoot him in the head like those other guys."
I pushed her back and looked into her beautiful blue eyes."Sweetheart I don't plan to just shoot the man. I plan to extract information from him. But he might not cooperate and things could get heated and I need to make sure you're safe."
" Wait, wait a minute." Andie pleaded, frustration clear in her voice "If you want to extract information from this guy you need a plan. You can't just waltz up to his house in broad daylight. There's security cameras everywhere in a human city and you don't need the police coming out here on pack land investigating you for murder."
" You're right sweetheart but I need to get these assholes before they get their hands on another little kid. Remember they successfully walked out of my pack house with a three year old surrounded by Alpha males."I reminded her.
"I remember Zack, believe me I remember." Andie breathed"But I think I can actually get you and Skyler in and out of the guys house with out being seen. And ... I actually think it would be better if you brought him back here to extract the information from him. You know somewhere private so that nobody can hear you." Andie muttered, giving me a pointed look. Fuck! My girl's devious.
" That would be ideal sweetheart but how can you do that."
" Let me make a phone call." She said pulling her phone out of the little backpack purse that I didn't even realize she was carrying.
While Andie scrolled through her contacts I mind linked with Skyler . 'Stand by for a minute, I don't know what Andie's doing. But she said she can get us in that guys house with out being seen.'
'okay, I'll come to your room.'
' ok'
I confirmed with Skyler while my girl was talking to someone on the phone about bringing something called ketamine and some syringes then she sent the person on the phone a Pin for our location.
" Come on let's go out front to see if this works." She murmured dragging me towards the door.
" If what works sweetheart? Who were you talking to? Is someone bringing you drugs?" Fuck! I was babbling my mind spinning. But my girl just giggled and kept pulling me towards the stairs leading to the front door of the pack house.
" You'll see." She grinned.
Seeing I wasn't getting any answers I just followed her out the front door of the pack house. When we reached the front lawn I tugged on her hand and spun her around to face me.
" Who were you talking to?" I demanded, she don't know anyone here in Alaska.Who the hell could she be sending a pin to meet her? I wondered.
" Chloe" She smiled, stretching her neck to look behind me.
"Andie!" I heard a high pitch squeal from behind me.
Startled I spun around and pulled my girl protectively behind me, only to see a tall woman with ash blonde hair and bright blue eyes smiling at my girl. Eyes and facial features so similar to Andie that I had no doubt she was from the Hunt bloodline. But that didn't ease the tension in my body, I well remember how her own sister had bad intentions towards my girl.
" So protective" The women giggled as she sashayed towards us ignoring the rumbling growl puttering in my throat."Congratulations my sweet girl."She smiled reaching out for my girl's hand.
Andie elbowed me in the side, stepped around me like I was nothing more then a piece of furniture and wrapped her arms around the woman. " I'm so glad it worked." My girl gushed excitedly.
"Oh me too, I've never used GPS coordinates before. I knew the distance wouldn't be a problem because I visit grandma in Brazil all the time. But I just concentrate on the coven and grandma's house." The women babbled just as excitedly as Andie.
Then I remembered who this woman is "You're the witch." I blurted out.
"Nice to meet you too Alpha Za...." the woman froze mid sentence as she stared behind me towards the pack house like she just seen a ghost.
I spun my head around in the direction she was staring only to see Skyler frozen in his tracks.His mouth hung open intently staring back at Andie's cousin. " Skyler " I yelled " She's" I started to tell him she's not a threat but Andie elbowed me in the side again.
" Their mates!" Andie squealed, as I watched my Beta take large strides towards the woman in front of us.
Sure enough, I watched dumbfounded as my Beta strolled over to Andie's cousin muttering something about mate looking like a man possessed. He grabbed a hand full of her long blonde hair, pulled her head back and laid the most passionate hungry kiss on the woman I've ever seen in public.
Instinctively I covered Andie's innocent eyes and cleared my throat to get their attention. For goddess sake, their in the middle of the lawn in front of the pack house.
Skyler fucking growled swinging his head around in my direction. "What" he barked which I thought was funny as hell.
"Congratulations, would you like Andie to introduce you to your mate?So that we can get back to work."
He frowned at my words " W...work" he stuttered.
I grinned, " Yeah work, remember we need to ask a scumbag some questions?" I reminded him, hell if I can wait four years to be with mate he can wait a few hours.
" But...but what about.."He stuttered pointing towards his little witch mate.
" Oh! Skyler your mate is my cousin Chloe Hunt, and Chloe your mate is our pack Beta Skyler Johnson." My girl introduced the two with a beaming smile on her beautiful little face.
" Beta Skyler" the little witch murmured dreamily.
"Chloe " Skyler grinned staring down at his mate like she's the most beautiful girl in the world. Not bothered a bit that Andie and I was still right here.
I cleared my throat to get their attention again and thankfully it worked both of them spun their head in my direction looking annoyed by the interruption. " Work remember, we still have work to do. And the sooner we get it done the sooner the two of you can... Well mate. So let's go to my office and listen to this plan Andie has."
The four of us walked back into the pack house and into my office where I took a seat behind my desk and like always I pulled my girl down in my lap. Skyler and the little witch took a seat in the leather chairs in front of my desk holding each other's hand. This actually surprised me that they were able to set in the chairs separately. However they just met and unlike me and my girl their bond hasn't grown as strong as ours.
Then the little witch took out a bunch of syringes and two medicine bottles out of her purse and slide it across my desk towards Andie.
" Here's the stuff you ask for Andie." She said all nonchalant like she didn't just give a fourteen year old a bunch of prescription drugs and syringes to use them with.
" Thank you, did you get them from my dad or yours?" And ask in the same nonchalant tone the little witch used.
" Your dad. We were already at your parents house when you called." She murmured casually.
" Okay, I'll call dad later and thank him. But right now we need to concentrate on getting a guy here so that he can be questioned.But first I need to know if the two of you are going to accept the bond or reject it." My girl ask, shocking the hell out of me and everyone else in the room.
" Accept! " they both yelled at the same time.
"Okay, I just wanted to make sure because of your unique situation." My girl smiled at my beta and her cousin.
" Oh, my god please don't tell me Chloe's under age too." Skyler groaned covering his his face with his hands.
Andie laughed and so did I, but not as hard as Chloe did. She leaned over and pulled Skyler's hands off his face and gave him a little peck on the lips laughing again.
" No I'm not under age, I'm twenty two,but.. I'm half witch." She said a bit hesitantly.
" I know, well actually I thought it was all bullshit until tonight.Then none of the guards notified me of an unknown wolf on pack land. Even though our security has been tightened so I figured it out pretty quick." Skyler explained, But I wasn't surprised by his response he's a sharp guy and we both have files on Andie's family.
It was required for us to memorize every detail of the people in line for the Alpha position of every pack in North America. And as Alpha Lucius younger brother Clayton Hunt is second in line for the Alpha position until Peyton becomes eighteen.
" Welcome to the Pack." Andie beamed excitedly at Chloe.
