Alexia's POV:

After my confession there was a flurry of activity. The boys got up and huddled around the screen. The Elders where speaking rapidly in hushed tones, giving me sidelong glances every now and then.

Beck gripped the arms of my chair and whipped my chair to face him where he stood from the left of the table.

"Alexia are you absolutely sure that this is symbol is what was on the back of the man's jacket?"

I nodded my head shakily. "I saw it clearly just before you woke me up."

He looked at Will and Justin. "This guy could be our guy." Will said glancing at me.

"Lexi did you recognize him at all?" Justin asked still looking at the symbol. I bit my lip thinking for a minute. I called back the memory of his face and studied it for a minute. I also called on my wolf, perhaps she would recognize this mystery man.

I can't place where but there's something about those eyes that looks familiar, she whispered in my head. I racked my brain trying to think where and the world I had possibly seen this man. I sort of remember him, but I feel he was just someone I saw in passing.

"I vaguely recognize him." I murmured. All seven heads turned to look at me.

"From where?" Beck growled. He started clenching and un clenching his fists in an attempt to reign in his anger. I stood up and walked over to him. I placed my hands on his chest and started to rub slow smooth circles to calm him down. He was breathing heavily and staring down at me.

"I can't remember," I murmured and he growled again. He yanked me closer to him and stuffed his face in my neck, taking deep breaths of my scent. "It's ok we'll find him." I whispered rubbing his back. He sighed and his shoulders slumped as he slowly began to relax.

"Call Watson and Reynolds. Get them here now," He growled and Will picked up the phone that sat at the center of the conference table. "Do you remember what he looked like?" he murmured, peering down at me. I nodded and he kissed my forehead.

We all awaited his next move in silence. I was honestly still a bit shaken after discovering that the man who had invaded my dreams, was a threat also in real life. Still in deep discussion, the Elders remained seated at their end of the table. One Elder in particular, Elder Theo was glaring pointedly at me. I stared at him and he shook his head, his eyes never leaving mine. Beck's father noticed our exchange and from where I stood turned and said something particularly sharply to Theo. They begin a heated discussion and I turned back to look up at Beck. His brow was furrowed in concentration and he closed his eyes, resting his cheek on my head, with me still wrapped in his arms..

I reached up onto the tips of his toes and pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth. His eyes snapped open and he leaned even closer to me. A few moments later, a two men entered into the room. All eyes whipped to the source of the movement. One was burly and muscular, walking with easy grace. The other was small and nervous, tumbling clumsily behind the other. He stumbled his way to the table and dropped all he carried onto the surface. The more graceful man rolled his eyes and made his way over to Beck and I. Beck released me and I moved to stand by his side, with one of his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Alpha. Luna." The man murmured, bowing his head in respect.

"Watson. Lex, this is Watson our head of securities. Watson, this is my mate and your Luna, Alexia." Beck said gesturing between us. Watson raised his head and extended his hand to me. I placed my hand lightly in his.

"Luna. It is an honor to make your acquaintance." he said respectfully shaking my hand softly.

"The pleasure is all mine," I replied smiling lightly.
