"The guys have gone." Lucas was standing in front of Damon he came through the door and closed it behind him.

"Did they do the fucking job this time?" Damon's reply was seething with the anger he'd been holding in.

"Come on Damon, you know how thorough the guys are."

"Not as fucking thorough as they should be. My fucking fiancée was sobbing her heart out because of that dick. It shouldn't be happening."

Lucas lent against the wall outside the guestroom.

"Look, we all know that but it seems he had his own key to the back door. He was able to come in and add more cameras."

"Unless they were missed the first time round..."

"Nope. We have him on camera doing it. The locks have all been changed." Lucas paused for a moment knowing that Damon was going to erupt when he hears what he had to say next. "We also have him leaving and he was on camera until he disappeared."

"What the fuck do you mean... disappeared?"

"Exactly that. If he followed the route out that he was using then we should have seen him leaving the property."

Damon looked at his brother with the fury of the devil himself "He's hiding on the fucking property?"

"My guys are looking into that right now. If he is then we'll know within the next couple of hours."

"Fuck... FUCK!" Damon shoved his hands through his hair "So we just sit and fucking wait?"

"No. Now we talk to Red and Ben."

Just the mention of that name set Damons blood to boiling.

"You have to let it go brother" Maxon walked up to the pair correctly guessing the reason for the scowl on Damon's face "He's one of the reasons you have Anna today. You may not like it but she trusts him."

"She's mine!"

"No one's disputing that Dam, but if it makes it easier for Anna then you have to accept him and his place in her life." Maxon was used to reasoning with people but Damon fitted into a whole new territory to the ones he dealt with on a regular basis.

"He has no fucking place!"

"He does. That's the problem. You don't want to admit that Anna has another dom."

"You guys need to shut the fuck up."

Ben walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. "If you wake up Anna and she hears this shit how do you think she'll feel?"

Damon took a step forward when he had two hands placed in his shoulders, one from either brother.

"He's right. We're all on edge and we still need to talk." Lucas reasoned.

"Follow me."

Ben walked away not giving the older man a chance to say a word and Damon blew out the angry breath that he'd been holding.

With shoves from his brothers the three men followed with solemn looks on the three as they walked in unity. Determined to find out everything they could in order to make Frazer pay for hurting their family.

The door slammed to the office as Ben took a stance near the window. Damon sat behind the desk while Maxon and Lucas took the chairs in front of it.

All eyes were on Ben; waiting.

He looked directly at Damon. "We need to clear something up before I tell you everything."

Damon raised an eyebrow and with a slight hand gesture he urged, more like dared, Ben to continue.

"I am not and never have been Anna's dom. I took on a role that fucking killed me because if I didn't my sister and I would have lost our best friend and sister. That prick destroyed her and we got her back and I'll be fucked if I'm going to let him win this time. Youbhave no fucking say in that what so fucking ever."

Three men stared at him with open admiration. The kid had balls.

"We're all here for Anna and like it or not, I'm fucking staying. I'm not interested in her in any other way than as a sister. I have my own fiancée whom I got engaged to last night."

Again, the men admired him. His stance stiffened slightly when Damon stood up and went to him.

Damon held out his hand to Ben and while shaking hands he spoke.

"Welcome to the family Ben, now let's get the mother fucker."

"Fucking oath. I won't be happy till he's either locked up and shackled or dead... I like the second option."

"Just as well, it's the one we've chosen."

"Thank fuck for that. I don't trust her father to keep her safe anymore and ..."

"She has me now Ben. She won't be in any more danger."

"Lucas will agree with me when I say that as family we're right here anytime we're needed for either Dam or Anna... and now you and Red are family, you got us too."

Damon nodded as he agreed with Maxon. "Family is family and no one fucks with mine."
