Twisting Her Fate
Chapter 56

The elite squad gets a few hours of sleep before getting back into it. Leilani has no option but to contact Titan. This is beyond what they are scoped to do. This is bigger than just Rosalie and she wants his input into where to go from here. "For now, I don't want you to contact the other packs. I don't want anyone to know about the tie between the others and this. I don't even want Alpha Baxter to know what we are dealing with. It is better just to keep them out of a loop until we have something concrete, otherwise it's going to become a massive incident and it is only going to disrupt your investigation. You have got further than so many other groups before you. They have had their shot. So now you have your turn free and clear of all the other influences. If others were to know about it now and we were to get all the packs involved, you would have untold amount of added pressure from everyone and everyone expecting results from you, hanging all their hopes on you. It would also make it more high profile, which would make the rat burrow further into his nest. It was all impossible for them back then. It is probably still impossible now, so letting anyone know is a bad move. We keep this between us. I know this is hard but good work, you are doing great. Don't get discouraged by this"

The group nods. It is exactly what they were thinking. Anyway, it is not like they have any good news to let anyone know. So saying that they've got a few messages from someone about something is not helpful, so they might as well just leave it be. Giving a small bit of information to people that are finally probably starting to move on with their lives is not helpful.

Leilani hangs up the phone after saying goodbye.

"Well, we have managed to make a lot of headway without actually getting anywhere. We have managed to make the task a whole lot bigger and a whole lot more important, but all of this came out of one day. Some of these girls disappeared years ago, so I have faith that we can do this"

There is not much that can break them from their work and this is more important than usual.

In the half moon pack Gabriel lays in the fresh sheets, he is back to his immaculate looking self and keen to have a proper night sleep, he never noticed before that a niggling pain can disrupt everything even the basic essentials of life. Before he sleeps, he links his beta who is in charge of the border patrol that Maggie needs to go on the afternoon run.

'Yes alpha'

Beta Jameson looks down at the girl on her knees in front of him, grabbing her hair and pulling her away from the front of his pants, her hand only just about to touch his zipper. He was caught by surprise by the whole thing. One second she was talking and the next she was on her knees. He wasn't paying much attention to her as he really doesn't like her much, but his inattention led to this.

"So this little surprise visit"

Jameson steps back and motions to Maggie's body. He is shocked, he nearly feels violated by the whole incident. Who even does that?

"And whatever the hell this was, was all to get out of border patrol?"

Maggie looks up at him seductively, her lips glistening with saliva. But she does nothing for Jameson. The whole idea of Maggie disgusts him. "What does it matter?"

Jameson laughs as he shakes his head.

"What did you do?"

"Again, does it matter?"

"Depends whether you want to go for a run or not"

Maggie sighs.

"I went to alpha storm"

"You went to your fated mate because?"

Jameson's eyes light up as realization dawns on him.

"You went because now he is a better option than Gabriel? You went because the pack standings came out and the stormy pack left us in the dust?"

Jameson laughs hard, doubling over as he looks at the sl*tty girl in front of him.

"And Alpha Storm didn't even want to bother with you at all, so you came here with your tail between your legs and somehow Gabriel found out..... how did he find out?"

"I forgot to change out of the lingerie"

"F*ck you are the dumbest b*tch to walk this earth, first for making such a rookie mistake, you know Gabriel and his ego, you think that if you get out of border patrol you are free? This is just the beginning. Second, do you think that alpha storm will even look sideways at you? You tried to approach him like that, he is not that type of man"

"Everyone keeps saying that but he had s*x with a girl on his desk right in front of me"

"And you think it was some random girl? He would have feelings for her. You have no idea"

"Shut your face Jameson, you don't know everything"

"I know I don't, because no matter how hard I think about it, I don't know how Gabriel can make a girl like you luna"

"If anyone deserves to be luna in this world, it is me, you should shut your face. You are just a beta. You have no right to talk to me like that"

Jameson laughs hard.

"I may only be the beta, but it is better than some unmarked wanna-be Luna that is all used up and stretched out that no one will want you" Jameson waves her out of the security room.

"Go away, I don't want you to touch me and I sure as hell don't want my d*ck in your mouth. Who knows what that thing is a breeding place for?" Maggie stands up and dusts herself off, she doesn't care what an insignificant speck says to her at all.

"What about border patrol?"

"I will cover for you tonight as I don't want to see your face at all"

Jameson shakes his head as he watches her walk away. He is not exactly sure what went wrong within the pack while he was sent away from a very early age. He only returned five years ago. The pack seems wrong, the leadership seems all wrong, but there is not much he can say about it.

He can't seem to get into their way with women, he tries to fit in with the rest, but there is something very wrong about it and he doesn't feel comfortable. That was the closest that Maggie had ever been to him and he was very glad to get her away. Even trying to rebuild a friendship with Gabriel has been hard. They are nothing alike anymore, granted that they were alike when they were young, but Jameson was sent away when he was seven. Nearly everyone was alike back then.

Getting along with Gabriel, who is meant to be his closest person and who he has meant to have undying loyalty for has been hard. Forming that bond together again after so many years, he doesn't really feel like the beta in his heart, he is in the body just not in the heart, made worse by the fact that everyone is meant to sleep with the luna.

It is f*cking weird, aren't alphas meant to be possessive? Why does he share her around? Is it meant to bring the pack closer? Is it meant to build a team? It is disgusting.

***

Leilani looks at the missing girls and the time that they have disappeared when the current new correspondent starts compared to when the last one was taken.

"What if we went another way and I used myself as live bait? It is about time that he will be looking for a new one"

"You want to make a profile for yourself and try to attract this demon?"

"Why work so hard to catch the prey when we could let the prey walk into our cleverly laid trap"

Hudson nods and starts working. It isn't really like he is making any progress the other way. Making up a profile while Madden spends time making up a photo, changing Leilani's features slightly. Nothing that can't be done with makeup and darkening her hair slightly, making it more of a blonde than the white blonde that stands out way too much. Leilani asks Andrea to send the blonde wig to the stormy pack so they are ready if anything comes from the lead. They don't want her recognizable.

Hudson works backwards, making sure that the profile states that she has been on it for a while, anything too fresh is too obvious.

"What do we want to put for the introduction?"

Leilani looks over the missing girls once again.

"They all seem vastly different, so it might depend on what his taste is like at the time"

The boys all look at Leilani, who rubs her chin deep in thought.

"I think we will go with a sweet innocent girl again, maybe a little desperate for new friends, maybe a little lonely"

Leilani's fingers move quickly over the keyboard as she types up a quick profile and sends it to Hudson. Her sweet as sugar introduction coupled with her beautiful photo is enough to attract anyone.

Hudson raises his finger over the enter key.

"Okay, we go live, NOW"

Leilani laughs with the others as Hudson presses the key in an exaggerated way with a little flourish.

"I want alerts if we receive anything, I want it accessible from my phone, we can't just ignore everyone else and focus on him just incase he has multiple accounts. It is hard not to leave a trace if he is not incredibly smart at what he does. Also, we want alerts of who he is talking to if anyone else. We want to intercept those messages before there is another girl to add to the pile"

Finlay stretches his back.

"Leilani's idea is good but it is not a guaranteed result or a speedy result. Let's get back to work"

Leilani orders some food and they settle in for another long night. The expensive hotel room's lavish living area resembling a messy boardroom, so much paper, computers dotted everywhere and tired bodies surrounding the computers, looking like overworked robots with bad posture.
