Table of Contents
He dropped his cigarette at his feet and stepped on it. Sitting in the corner of the bar, he could see the entire establishment in one glance. He checked his watch and noted his contact was running late. He hoped this one would have the information he needed in order to find the woman. She was a wily one. He had found her once, he had sent men and they had attacked but the stupid bitch had gotten away.
Now he was back at square one except
, this time he had an inside contact who may have known where they had taken her. He knew she had escaped with the one they called Striker. When they had been battling, he had seen this Striker in action and saw he was a strong fighter. Then Striker had slipped out of sight while he had been fighting and searching for the girl.
Finally, he saw his contact come in and walk to the back toward him. He took a long swallow of his Jack as his contact sat down across from him. "Took you long enough to get here
,” he grumbled.
"Sorry. Things have been dicey since the attack. Everyone is hyper alert."
"What do you know? Where is she?” he asked.
His contact shook his head. "No one knows. We don't even know if Striker and the girl are alive."
"No one has any idea where they would have gone?” he demanded.
"The only thing anyone knows for sure is that they will head straight for the Senate compound."
He stood and threw some money on the table. "Call me if you learn anymore.” He headed out, staying there was pointless. He needed to begin to think like Striker. Where would he go and how would he get to the Senate? He headed back to his hotel room to look over the maps again.
Eric Sillen arrived just a few days after
Mia and Striker had. He had been sent by the Senate to assist in helping with Mia and assigned as one of her guards until she was delivered to them. When the two men first met, Striker had recognized Eric as his mate as well. Eric even acknowledged to Striker that he knew they were mates. Striker told him about Mia, filling him in on everything he had been told by the Alphas, and Eric told him what he knew from the Senate, which wasn't much. They agreed they were not attracted to each other as some mates were—they only wanted to share their female mate, Mia.
Striker cautioned Eric that Mia was vulnerable and very withdrawn. However, Striker shouldn't have worried, Mia had taken to him immediately, and it had irked Striker. After he had spent a couple of weeks trying to ease into Mia's life, Eric was immediately allowed in. He didn't know why, although he wondered if it had to do with Eric being Fae. They had magical capabilities that Striker didn't know about
, which Eric may have used to calm and lull Mia.
Two days ago, things had been changing. Mia had seemed to be more at ease, allowing both Eric and Striker to hold her hands. They had not told her they were all mates; both Eric and Striker agreed they would wait to tell her. She had enough to deal with and they wanted her to want to be with them. She had even agreed to dine with them, which was a first.
They sat down in Striker's suite to have dinner. Both men had set up the room by bringing in a table, candles, and some finger food so they could feed Mia. Striker left the lights on, they agreed they didn't want to scare her, they did light the candles and she had commented on how nice the setting was. They had begun to each feed her some of the finger food appetizers when the compound's alarm had sounded. Then all hell had broken loose. Striker had grabbed Mia, dragged her down the hall into the panic room, thrown her in, and yelled at her to stay put.

Mia curled in on herself and prayed silently that no one would find her there. She could hear fighting going on throughout the house she had been staying in. She was terrified. If the ones attacking found her, she would be taken back to Roarke and she knew she would die. All she had wanted to do was get a job on her own, show her father she didn't need him or his money. Roarke had hired her as his secretary and her world had turned upside down. All because she found out shit shouldn't have. If they hadn't wanted anyone to know their secrets they should have been more diligent in where they placed the information.
Mia still didn't want to face the fact there were really werewolves in the world
at first. However, when she stumbled upon the information at work, she had dealt with it; the concept still scared the shit out of her. She wanted to keep the job and so she opened her mind. Some things she could stomach, like the growling, and the superior attitude. Until she discovered the hatred they held for humans. Sure, the time in his employment she had to face a lot of stuff but she looked at it more as an experience, a stepping stone to get a better job. She only needed a reference, so she had stuck it out, but when she had seen the facts in front of her, she couldn't keep quiet, Mia had confronted the bastard, and she had paid the price.
Mia refused to be used anymore, after that terrible experience she was ready to help whoever she had to in order to get him back. When she made her stand she had been so strong, but after their shit, she was going to need a little help. So she had sough
t it by asking around until she had an address for the people who would help her. She also didn't want to face the fact they were all around her right now, killing each other trying to get to her. She could hear the growling and tearing of skin just down the hall from where she was hiding. The noises were so loud she covered her ears with her hands and prayed it would be over soon. Maybe they would kill each other and she would be able to just get the fuck away. Of course, her luck was nowhere to being that good. She would need four leaf clovers, and rabbit's feet up the ying-yang to cover her.
She hoped Striker was okay and would come back soon
. After she had finally took a stand and left, now they had found her again. He was her lifeline in the sea of hell that had become her life. When she had arrived at the gates of the Pack in Milliken, Colorado, which she now knew was the New Council, she had met Cami, the female Alpha, who was her saving grace. Mia had learned there was an intricate society of werewolves and they had lived all around her. She had been almost broken though, and badly abused by Roarke until she had escaped. She had learned of the Chosen Ones from Roarke and knew the safest place was with them. After hearing his hatred for them, she realized that was where she had to go.
Cami had immediately taken her in, brought in a doctor and stayed with her through the night. After the doctor had checked her over, Cami settled her into a hot bath and then Mia had slept for hours. When she woke, she had been fed a wonderful dinner and then Cami had come back with a bottle of wine. They had chatted and drank wine for hours. It was then that all that had happened to Mia had come pouring out. Instead of showing horror and running from the room, Cami had listened and been sympathetic.
The next day, Cami had immediately made arrangements for Mia to leave the country. She had explained the Chosen was setting up a group in Europe. This new group was to be called the Senate and would be set up much like the New Council compound, where the members would all have homes on the property so they could meet. The Senate would have twelve members like the New Council, and from there, they would be able to help the American Council in Europe.
Mia had been terrified to travel
, but Cami had assured her it was the best thing to do to keep her safe. The Alphas had been so kind to her and she trusted them to do what was best for her. Deep down, she knew she was way out of her league and lucky to have found the Chosen who had been willing to help. She had boarded the plane bound for London and never looked back, still numb from all that had happened and hoping her salvation lay on the other side of the ocean. As she heard another series of growls coming closer to her hiding spot, she tried to curl further into herself.
What would her father say now?
she wondered. Being the Director General of the Science and Technology Department, he would have been astounded at the world she had discovered.
A crash against the door she was hiding behind made her jump.
Sadly
, she thought,
she wouldn't be able to give her father the satisfaction of telling him he was right about her life going nowhere and even worse to tell him that monsters were real
.
No
, she thought as a tear slid down her cheek and she shook with fear,
her life was going to end—now
.
