"Alright guys. Orders are out that we steer clear from the borders. We need techniques to get a wide reference about what we're dealing with so, any suggestions?"Micheal asked, his pen tapping against the table and everyone frowned

While they usually weren't hesitant about anything they do, this time hit ten times harder. They can't attack as the neighboring pack gave them no reason to and haven't broken any rules listed by the council, however, they also need to keep in mind that they're warriors lives are at stake, so they've been cornered to a wall. Literally

"I'd say drones, but I already tried. An electro magnetic field is distributed within the area and any unauthorized device or technology doesn't work" Julian listed, causing Luke to sigh in annoyance

"Surely the members of the pack must have a symbol that the council keep. No one might know then but they have to have authorization from the council to be a legal pack. I have connections and I can get my hands on it. Some members may be teenagers and the school and what's around it is uncharted land. We'll find a match and torture the names out of the hostage"he stated firmly and the rest frowned at his suggestion

"They may be bloodsuckers and traitor mutts but that doesn't mean we are going to be cornered into the wall. Uncharted land is free to all uses, when they realize they've been missing a member they'll come looking for him, by then we'd have a list of names and can take them out one by one"he spoke once more and Micheal raised an eyebrow

"And if we don't have the list by that time?theres a reason all packs stay away and fear them, and it's not only because they're dangerous, it's because they're professional assassins in their human vessel Luke. They're training is lethal and unless you're born into that pack, it's almost impossible for you to get in. So are you willing to take that risk and have most our men slaughtered based on a hunch?"Micheal snapped and Luke glared

"Don't you dare yell at me! At least I'm thinking of ways while the rest of you are sitting ducks. If they are like you listed, then we need a damn plan, and these ideas won't suffice"he stated firmly and mason sighed, running his fingers through his hair

"If I May Speak. Unless you two aren't done with your temper tantrum of course?"mason smiled sarcastically and both glared at him but didn't say anything

Out of the five, mason is the only one who'd have enough guts to step into an alpha raged banter. He's the warrior for a reason after all, and he's the closest to Luke out of all of them so he knows he won't really get shit from him

"Clearly, that's they're goal. To get you two"he gestured towards both alphas "to run around like headless chickens. Word had already gone out that we've been threatened which makes us look weak to our packs. You both are getting antsy and the packs start scattering out of fear, that's when they find the best setting to strike and take us down"he stated firmly and Luke frowned while Micheal shot him an unamused look

"So what do you suggest we do? Do enlighten us"Luke bit back sarcastically and mason glared but didn't comment

"I'm going to have to add with Luke's original plan, though it won't work by a long shot. We capture a high ranked member. Preferably one of the top four, and the pack will get weaker without one of they're core heads. The recruits won't be enough and they won't be able to hold on without an important individual for long. Once they find out the hostage's location, they'd sent out recruits to save the person as they wouldn't attack as a pack unless they're stupid and that one is far from that, and we'll be able to catch a couple weaklings whole be willing to spill after a lot of pressure and torture"

"And how the hell would be able to capture a beta or even a damn alpha?"ace asked quizzically and mason sighed

"They'd be in school or between humans so they won't expect it. They human vessel is the weakest and the element of surprise gives us leverage therefore we'd be able to capture one of them" mason stated boredly

"And how exactly would we capture one of them if we don't know who they are or how they look like?"Micheal asked and mason tensed and Luke caught on, urging him to speak

"You guys are much denser than I thought" mason sighed causing them all to frown

"The new recruits Michael? Surely that can't be coincidence" mason stated, placing picture on the table

The pictures displayed Ryder, Clyde and Victoria, all captured in questionable positions and places

"That can't be mason"Micheal frowned, looking at the pictures intently "they may be involved in some dodgy shit, sure. But they aren't supernatural. Although I had my doubts about them just showing up out of the blue, they have no scent or anything that trails back to a pack. And besides, my sister hangs around them. I don't know how she knows them but she knows how to dig up dirt easily, and she won't be hanging around them if they were involved in something illegal. She may be reckless crazy at some points"Micheal frowned while the rest scoffed and chuckled while Luke smirked "but she wouldn't risk tarnishing the family reputation no matter what"Micheal stated firmly and mason chuckled

"Then you don't know your sister at all Micheal"mason stated in amusement and he raised an eyebrow

"How So?"

"Your sister was in an academy at London for two years right?"mason confirmed "the same three were also pupils at the academy. So it's either one of the three. Your sister knows about them and is keeping their secret, she is involved, or she doesn't know anything at all, though I find that really hard to believe"mason criticized and Micheal scoffed

"There's no way she can be. They might be a family or relatives or whatever who move around constantly and this can all be pure coincidence"Micheal stated

Although he'd usually be the one in the lookout, he's trying to sway himself otherwise since it involves Marcelina. She didn't know anything about it and they always made sure that she wasn't subjected to anything, unless she's been hiding that, but that can't be the case.

Although they don't know much about her life in London, they know that she's been happy and got herself back piece by piece, even if she's channeling her energy in the wrong way, she didn't cause anything more than slight mischief and this should be pure coincidence

It had to be

He trusted Celine and he wasn't about to spy on her out of doubt, Especially since he knows her well enough to know that she chooses her friends wisely, and doesn't let anyone's influence faze her

"Table this. I'm not going to spy on my sister out of doubt mason and there's no way she can be related to all of this"Micheal stated firmly while the rest nodded in agreement

Mason never met Marcelina so he had a chance to judge, yet Luke couldn't help but keep his words in mind. He's seen signs and yet he chose to blatantly ignore them

'Yet what if she knew more than she actually lets on'
