the old ways of the magical community and try to establish peace again. There are those who are going to try to stop us. The King Bondi knows something; he has put a hit out on Calli, Cherri, and Rissa. I'm not sure why the three girls, there's something there we haven’t yet discovered. But regardless, that's the case. We are on high alert, and all the Enforcers are guarding the Agency as well as all of you. So you will have an assigned guard. Sabrina is assigned to Cherri and has expressed her wish to remain in that position, even though she is part of the Pack and needs protecting herself. She feels that's where she needs to be, so we are allowing it. Your Enforcers will help her. But Cherri and the girls are all in danger, and until we figure out why and erase the threat, this is the way it has to be,” Brook said, and then stepped back letting all the information sink in. “There is more, and since you two are the Alpha and the Beta, you need to know.”
Declan looked at the papers and also some of the things that Ms. Praton had dug up. He was an intelligent person but couldn’t help but notice that some things didn’t make sense. This was going to take a while to go through. Since all of it was on paper and not in the computer that was going to take manpower.
“ Okay, what is it?” Declan said, knowing that he was just stepping into this role without real questioning. It felt right.
Brooks looked at the two men and sighed. “Drekinn is under a threat. One which could possibly change the course of all of this shit. Ms. Praton and I had a meeting this morning with the human President.”
They continued their meeting, and Declan became more and more convinced that although he had been hesitant at first, he was truly a part of something now. He felt the feeling of the Pack click into place while he discussed things with Kade, and knew he was the Beta and the right hand of the Alpha. They seemed to be able to connect and agree on things while making plans.

Cherri busied herself in the lab while her friends followed her in and stood silently while she worked. Rissa had her palm computer out and was working, and Calli was talking to Sabrina in a low voice when she came into the room to guard Cherri.
She couldn’t talk yet. Cherri needed to work things out in her head first. She had been like this since she was small, which is why her best friends were standing there waiting while she thought. They knew she was going to talk when she was ready. They had been through this a lot.
Cherri thought about her family and her life. Her parents were great, although her mom was a little bat shit crazy, but who’s mom wasn’t? She had two brothers, both older; she loved both of them, but she had been born so many years after them that they really didn’t have much in common. Her mom called her the 'oops' baby because she truthfully hadn’t planned on having more children. It was like fate when all the parents seemed to meet and the girls found each other.
They had clicked right away, Cherri couldn’t explain it, and it was like they spoke their own language that no one else could understand. They each had certain roles in their relationship. Calli was the leader, when they had moved out on other own into the apartment, she had become their Alpha, there had been no question about it. Then Rissa, she was the computer geek and also the one who made them all the money. They had created a dummy corporation many years ago called the “TOD Corporation”. They made it legit in the human world; there was even an office front in the downtown area that humans ran. They had no clue who actually owned it. As far as they were concerned, it was run by the woman they hired via satellite, Debbie something or other. It really didn’t matter; she was their cover, and they gladly used it. They made all the decisions and emailed or called her occasionally. It was an investment firm, and so they took on humans who wanted to
