Chapter 9

Brooklyn's POV:


I had on a pair of jeans and black heels with another blazer and button up shirt. I was 'escorted' to the meeting area where I was handcuffed to the table. Alex's mate growled at me and I barred my canines at her.

She was not getting away with what she did to my eye.

Ryder's POV:

I walked with Jax to the meeting room I had on jeans and a white button up shirt. I rolled up the sleeves as we walked down the hallway and into the meeting room. Brooklyn was cuffed to the table and she looked pissed. I smirked at her reaction and took my seat.

"Finally we are all here. Welcome." He said satisfied.

"I understand that there has been...complications." He said. As he said that Rachel stood up and growled at Brooklyn. Damn get this girl under control.

Brooklyn went to move and I stiffened and she saw me. I gave her a hard glare to not do anything. She had to be the better person. She is Luna.

She immediately stopped and looked away.

Headmaster Keith nodded to me and he continued.

"But we must come together. There is something else around our territory...something we can't track nor can we scent it." He explained.

"We have samples of species and there is no scent that matches it." He explained. Some man raised his hand.

"Yes, Dominic?" He asked.

"How many are there? Is it a pack? A coven?" He asked.

"We know nothing. We are searching for clues everyday but their scent only lasts for a second. No nose strong enough can catch it." Keith said.

"So how did we find the scent?" Someone asked.

"It traced a fellow pack member. It was following him." Brooklyn said glancing at Alex.

"The scent was off. It smelt like a bad wound. Infected. " She said scrunching up her nose.

"Brooklyn is known for her nose. If she says she can scent this creature. Then shouldn't we have samples?" Alex asked.

"No species have offered to help us and when we ask they decline." Keith said grimly.

"Then we need someone on the inside. Someone who can find an article of clothing or something to bring back to me." Brooklyn suggested.

"Black wood Company." Brooklyn's father said. Numerous people growled. Including me. Black wood company was an assassin group. They were rogues who joined up. They were trained assassins and mercenaries.

My younger sister was apart of them.

"How can this be an option!? We are working with rogues now!?" Someone bellowed. People agreed and it was suddenly very loud.

"Enough!" Keith yelled. Everyone quieted down immediately.

"We are not working with them. We pay them to do our...'dirty work'."

"How do we know they will help?" Jax asked.

"They are mercenaries. They want money." Keith said.

So we call them here, and wait for them to get the articles of clothing from different species.

He dismissed us and we all left returning to our rooms and waiting for dinner. I can't believe Black wood company is now involved.My little sister Elizabeth was Brooklyn's age. She had no idea that Robert was dead.

This will be a nice reunion.

---------

At dinner I walked with Brooklyn to make sure she stayed away from Rachel.

"You looked fairly upset when he mentioned Black wood company." She said eating a piece of steak.

"I don't like them." I said simply.

"It's more then that. My mom told me. Your little sister is apart of them." She said. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.

"I know. I still can't accept it."

She grabbed my free hand and squeezed it tightly.

"Don't worry. She chose that life and there is nothing you can do." She whispered. I smiled slightly and took a sip of water.

She looked around to make sure no guards were watching. Her hand slipped under my shirt an she scratched her nails lightly across my back. I felt my eyes go dark as I stared at her.

"What are you doing?" I whispered.

"Being a seductive mate." She laughed taking her hand back out. My arm went around her back and under her shirt and my hand snaked up to the bottom of her bra. She froze as she was right about to eat a bite of food and stared at me.

"What are you doing?" She whispered. My hand went farther up to cup her breast and I gave a firm squeeze and she sucked in a breath.

"Being a seductive mate." I teased taking my hand out. Her eyes were dark with lust. She took a sip of water and cleared her throat.

"I'll kill you." She threatened.

"I'd like to see you try." I muttered.
