Chapter 39 - Andie

" Okay everyone listen up." I said, projecting my voice towards Chloe and Skyler, who were busy nibbling at each other's lips while cooing softly, totally oblivious to the world around them.

Seeing they still didn't look like they were anywhere near ending their own little private party. I cleared my throat and called my cousin's name sternly to get her attention.

"Chloe" I almost yelled and waited until she pulled her lips off of Skyler's and turned to face me.

" What!" She hissed, almost causing me to crack- up at the sound of the irritation in her voice. Obviously the need to mate with Skyler was getting stronger by the second and she was having trouble controlling her emotions. I ignored her snappy response and continued to ask her questions that was important for our mission.

"Do you need to rest up before you can take Skyler and Zack to Juneau?"

"How far is Juneau from here." She ask me, which of course, I couldn't tell her the distance. It took Zack and I about forty five minutes to drive to Juneau. But we were driving slow because the road was gravel and had a lot of tight turns with a steep grade.

Sometimes we could drive around 40 mph and in the next five minutes we had to slow down to around 15mph. So there was no way I could even estimate how far it was.

"It's about twenty miles from here to Juneau." Zack answered for me.

"I'll be fine to travel a short distance like that in about an hour." She said dismissively, with a wave of her hand diving straight back into another kissing match with Skyler.

"Are ..you.. sure babe" Skyler muttered on her lips between smacking little kisses.

Chloe sighed " Yeah it will be fine, the most I've traveled in a day is from my house to my grandma's. Grandma's house is around six thousand miles one way but it makes me really tired ." She murmured, going right back to sucking on Skyler's face and rubbing her hand across his muscular chest.

Zack brought his hand up and ran his fingers through his stubbled beard like he was deep in thought for a few seconds before addressing Chloe again " Chloe." he called to get her attention back on us. I swear talking to a newly matted couple is like trying to talk to a wall.Or perhaps I should say it's like talking to the actors in a romantic movie on television. Ether way the response is the same.

However Zack seemed to have more patience than I did .He never raised his voice or seemed aggravated.He just waited until Chloe turned back around towards then continued. "would it be better for you if we move closer to our target?"

" That would help considerably, especially if I'm going to move someone with me. I can move my self all the way from Eureka to Brazil with out any problems. But if take Uncle Lucius with me to buy plants form grandma we can't come back until late the next day. However I can take my dad to see Uncle Lucius at his house and bring dad right back home with no problem. Actually I could probably do that five or six times with out getting tired." Chloe stated proudly, making me wonder if she was showing off for Skyler.

And I didn't miss the fact that Skyler straightened his shoulders and his grin widened. Aww their so sweet together.

" Can you move two people at the same time?" Zack seemed really curious about the fact that Chloe can appreciate. I think he's as happy about Chloe and Skyler being mates as I am.

And let me tell you, I'm overjoyed to have Chloe as Skyler's mate. Chloe has always treated me a lot better then my own sister. She played with me when I was little and didn't mind showing me how to make magic potions. She also stood up for me when Abby would try to get me in trouble.

"Sure, I used to bring Andie and my dad back to my house all the time. I could probably do that two or three times without getting tired."

"Hum, so if we were only about two miles from our target will you be able to bring me and another person back here to the pack house?"

"Well sure, it's about ninety miles from my house to Andie's and I've never had a problem taking Andie and Uncle Lucius with me back to my house."

"Skyler book us two suites tonight at Waterfront on Glacier. " Zack ordered "We'll take one of the Escalades back to Juneau,it will be more comfortable and Chloe can rest.I'll mind link John to bring it around front while we pack a bag and get everything ready." Then he pinched his bottom lip between his finger and thumb looking thoughtful for a second. Then he hummed ,"We can stop at Bella's boutique on the way out of town so that Chloe can grab a few changes of clothes." Zack rambled,

taking over this mission like the borne leader he is. I just set on his lap and smiled, happy that he was taking charge of everything.

"Oh, there's no need for that. I brought a few things with me." Chloe giggled, pulling her clothing book from her purse.

It's just a small leather book that looks like one of those little photo albums. It even has the plastic dividers inside to hold each outfit. I have personally seen Chloe pack fifteen outfits in that little book. She packs her shoes in a fancy little divided pillbox. It's comical to watch the grimace on her face when she shrinks a pair of her Prada heels down to the size of Barbie shoes.

Her lingerie, bath products,and makeup, she packs in two pocket sizes travel organizers designed to hold bobby-pins or hair ties. It's simply amazing to watch her pack, with a wave of her hand she can shrink everything down to the size of doll clothes.

"This isn't the Amazon Rainforest babe,you can't just wear a thong around the pack house" Skyler grumbled jealously, eyeing Chloe's clothes book suspiciously.

He sounded so jealous and serious that I had turned my head burying it in Zack's shoulder to keep from bursting into a full blown fit of laughter.

"Calm down sweetie." Chloe soothed , flipping open her clothes book to reveal a pair of black trousers and a chic looking white button up shirt with french cuffs." See it's just regular clothes darling, nothing to get your fur ruffled about."

Zack just ignored Skyler's jealous grumbling and Chloe's attempts at soothing her jealous mate. Nonchalantly he continued to ask me questions about my plan while running his hand through my hair. "Now sweetheart, am I correct to assume that the drugs Chloe brought you is a sedative to render our target unconscious."

Gathering my composure I set up and responded to his question as maturely as I could muster at the present " Yes, l will fill a couple of syringes for you to take with you.All you will need to use is one of them, but it never hurts to have a back up. I believe it will be best to wait until late, maybe around midnight when he's asleep. Then Chloe can take you and Skyler straight inside the house,avoiding any security cameras that might be outside."

" So, will I need to give him another shot to wake him up after we bring him back here and throw him in the dungeon?" Zack murmured, Not surprising me a bit by the fact that the Starlight Pack has a dungeon. It's the only way to deal with rogue wolves who cause trouble.

Well almost the only way there's always the choice to kill them. But that's usually the last resort. Most Alpha's prefer to lock them up and try to reform them into productive citizens.

" No, he will wake up on his own in a couple of hours. Let's just go by the dungeon before we leave to let Chloe get the location in her mind. It will be faster if she takes you straight to the dungeon instead of coming here then you hauling him off to the dungeon." I reasoned, assuming that the Starlight Pack's dungeon was in a remote location. At least a mile or two away from the Pack house just like the dungeon in my dad's pack.

"Why are you coming back here with Chloe instead of me? I can throw that bastard in the dungeon just as well as you can."Skyler grumbled jealously.

Zack grinned not cutting his Beta any slack . "That's fine ,you bring the bastard back and throw him in the dungeon. But don't get sidetracked with.. with mating and forget me inside his house." Zack laughed, while pointing out the fact that Skyler was obviously distracted.

"I won't forget you." Skyler retorted with a smug grin "Chloe and I will come right back. I don't want you to have a meltdown from not being able to hold Andie's hand."

Zack just ignored him and continued to wrap up this meeting." Okay, I'll sweep the house for bugs and clues while you're gone, that way it shouldn't take very long to get this done .Then we can get some rest and drive back here tomorrow morning and interrogate the bastard."

After saying that Zack pushed his chair back and patted my thigh. The same way he always does when he wants me to stand up. I climbed off his lap and twirled around with an idea that had nothing to do with our mission.

Nevertheless I bit my lip in anticipation hoping he didn't think I was being insensitive and only thinking about myself and told him anyway. " You know," I started then hesitated rethinking my decision for a moment. Perhaps this isn't the right time to bring this up, but then Zack smiled " Go on sweetheart, tell me what's on your mind."

" Well..uh you know with Chloe here I really don't need a chaperone anymore. Chloe's my family and of age, she can officially be my chaperone."

" That's a great idea sweetheart. I can see you get along well with Chloe and I don't feel that jealous rage coming from her like with your sister. We can call your dad tomorrow night after Chloe and Skyler tell their parents about finding their mate. And by that time your dad my already have his own suspicions about Chloe finding a mate here in my pack." Zack murmured, smiling mischievously making me wonder what the heck was thinking about. Well I guess there's only one way to find out.

" What's got you smiling like the cat that ate the canary?" I ask suspiciously, narrowing my eyes down at him as I tried not to grin.

Zack grinned " You might as well known sweetheart because you will need to do the same before we have your Luna ceremony. I'm just guessing here but as you could see Skyler and Chloe are more then excited about matting with each other. But before that can happen Chloe will need denounce your father as her Alpha since Skyler is a high ranking member of another pack. And the moment she does your dad will feel a loss of a pack member. But because Chloe is a member of his own family with Hunt blood running through her veins he will feel a slight discomfort in his heart. My dad knew Julie found her mate before her and Aaron called to tell us."

"Wow, so does Skyler know that Chloe will need to denounce my father as her Alpha before they can mate?" I ask worriedly, I just wanted to make sure so that they could be together after this mission was over.

" Yes sweetheart, Skyler has taken every class I have, actually we took them all at the same time. As my second in command he needs to be ready to lead the pack in case of an emergency.
