Andreas Toga.

I loved the hot days, well the summer days I would have to say, the wind in my hair, a perfect glow on my skin and the best time to enjoy an ice cream sunday whilst barefoot on the lake shore, just perfect. So I sighed and sunk into these sand more savouring my ice cream until I saw him coming, with his bright smile and that annoyingly perfect hair of his, I just knew he was about to say something to ruin my day.

"Andre,—you look gorgeous." He beamed a smile at me but I kept my eyes narrowed on him. "What?" He questioned feigning not to know the look. "Explain yourself." I grumbled and he chuckled lightly,  an effortless beauty to his features no wonder his husband was so whipped with him. "Why are you always so negative?" He teased and I quirked a brow.

"I'm black, gifted and I know when people want things from me so spill it." I told him and he groaned, his face becoming more serious. "You're no fun." He grumbled lowly causing me to chuckle. "What's up Saint,—what's going on?" I finally asked after settling down on my blanket and making space for him to sit next to me.

"I need a favour, and before you refuse hear me out, the alpha family of the Ryeland pack has disappeared, along with kids and young adults from the pack, from the looks of it, —it doesn't seem like a normal kidnapping, it wasn't random, it seemed planned and precise." He explains and I couldn't help the cold chill that swept on my skin, it couldn't be them.

"Saint." I muttered but he stopped me. "I don't want to assume the worst here, but I have a feeling the disappearances are somehow connected to the the Axe Association, when you dismantled the hunter association you did find evidence of them planning to do something like this, —I just want to be sure its not them." He further explains and I sigh, despite not wanting to get involved, I knew I had to, for all those people.

"Listen I know its a big ask, I would send Carter or Jen but they are both really occupied and I'm needed here so please." He pleaded but there was no need to. "Saint its okay, —I'll go, is there anything else I need to know?" I questioned and he seemed very relieved, the happiness shining in his eyes, despite his age Saint seemed to not have aged at all, it was the wolf genes or excessive love, maybe both.

"Yes, there was one exemption to the abductions, his name is London Ralliel Everlin, the other alpha of the Ryeland pack, it seems he was away in Crescent Falls when his family was abducted, I have a feeling he needs all the help he can get and Andre please don't be too hard on him." His response had an underlying message, he knew something I definitely did not.

"I'll try but I have questions, how do that many people vanish without the alpha feeling it." I questioned and Saint sighed. "I myself am vexed over it, this situation is unlike anything we've seen and also even if its not the hunters association doing this we need to make sure they don't do it again, I'm sure the alpha will make sure of it." Saint expressed with yet again a knowing smirk and it annoyed me to no end.

He always had this way of knowing things, never told you and it irked you until you figured it out then he explained, like his son Kyro, and Carter, it was very annoying but finding out things on my own tended to  be very satisfying for me, so I just resigned to finding out myself.

"You should get ready, St Maine from here is a connected flight unless you want to fly private." He suggested and I gawked at the statement. "Of course I'm flying private, look at me." I sassed and he laughed next to me. "Chill out hot stuff, I already told Gnash to get the jet ready, so you need to get home and pack." He explained and I rolled my eyes but still nudged him playfully.

When I had first moved to Louisville and the Alscender Pack, I was a mess, it took a while for me to open up and accept myself but with the kind of people that surrounded me, it wasn't hard, especially when Kyro Dante the third was involved, we were a year or two apart and inseparable but as an alpha to a prominent family he had duties to attend to plus a mate and for me, Saint made sure I did not squander my gifts, hence why I was being sent to St Maine.

"Thanks, I'll get right on it." I told him and he simply smiled. "Have you been visiting the gym frequently, you've bulked up." That was a tease. "No." I muttered like a child. "Oh please, you're practically short of giving everyone a show here at the lake with those tiny shorts, and I partly raised you dummy, I know you've bulked up." He exclaimed with a smack to my head. "Hey!" I protested but he was laughing, already standing up.

"Okay fine, I decided to bulk up a bit, build muscle strength." I expressed and a scoff was my response. "You mean you wanted to add on to your already overflowing pot of masculinity, I knew letting you boys meet Heathen was a horrible idea." He confessed and I wasn't surprised he knew our role model, even Kyro was obsessed with getting as large as alpha Heathen but he wasn't there yet, and I looked away guiltily. "Thought so." He taunted.

"So how about a hidden tid bit of information to help me with this endeavour." I asked Saint who shook his head in amusement. "I already gave you what you needed to know, the rest are files you'll get on your way there, but just to make you feel better, just know you'll be fine and you're going to the right place." He insisted with a smile before we reached the stairs that led away from the lake shore, up and away past the spa and several other buildings till we got to the road, most if not all of the pack members waved or nodded toward us, specifically their beloved luna, I could admit it freely, Saint was the best.

"Cryptic as always." I drawled and he chuckled pattimg my back. "I'll send you off in an hour, don't be late." He reprimanded, with those words he took off in his camero and I got to my own car, drove off toward the pack, then to my home in the pack.

"Going somewhere?" Kyro asks standing by the door to my bedroom,I knew he had let himself in and because I was rushing to pack, I had just let him come to me, I was late, —why, because I took too much time in the shower, curse that amazing shower gel. "Yeah, your dad asked if I could go help with the Ryeland pack and since I'm the good child I accepted." I sassily told him.

"What do you mean good child, you start more fires than I do, remember how you seduced pop's new business partner into accepting a deal and you claimed I made you do it." He argued and I stopped to laugh. "Honestly that was really funny and it was a while ago, I've been relatively good." I confessed and his jaw hung loose. "See, this is why pops and dad think I will try swindle my way with clients." He pointed out.

"Don't you." I deadpanned and he groaned. "Fine I do but that's besides the point." He confessed. "Mmhm, yeah right." I drawled and he sighed. "I'm gonna miss you." Now that's what he wanted to say all along. "Im not leaving forever Kyro, I'll be back before you know it." I tried reassuring him. "St Maine is almost a country away." The I don't want you to go statement but I know you have to, I knew Kyro more than anyone else.

So I closed the space and hugged him. "I'll be back before you know it, and then you can be as annoying and a baby for however long you want." I reassured him again and he chuckled, nodding in our hug. "Now come on, drop me off at the airport?" I asked and he nodded with a smile whilst helping me with my several bags, he knew not to ask.

"What's with all the bags?" Kyro junior, Kyro the thirds dad questioned when we arrived at the airport. "You never know what you'll be getting into, always pack for everything." I recited the age old mantra that had been instilled in me by Saint himself and everyone chuckled except Saint who was in awe. "I taught you well, —this is Lex Everlin, Ralliels grandfather, he wanted to see you off." Saint explained as a tall man, tan skin and greying hair walked forward.

"Thank you Andreas for wanting to help my family, I truly wish you the best of luck and hope the Goddess watches over you, my mate and I are too old to do the things you young ones can, so please do your best but don't risk your life, I would still be grateful." His words held weight, something that invoked in me emotions that I thought I would never feel, the absolute need to make sure his family was returned to him.

"I promise you Lex, I'll make sure all your family is brought back to you and that no one will ever harm them." I reassured him with a nod and a mutual understanding came from the two of us. "I'll see you later." I told Kyro the third and his parents. "You suck at goodbyes." Kyro junior teased. "Always."
