Fury

New Opportunities

~Mia POV

I spent the rest of the morning in a funk. Delilah refused to speak with me, she saw me as turning away the only person made for her. The one to love cherish and protect us. She knew of my past and wanted nothing more than for my happiness, she continued to try and convince me to change my mind.  

I wasn't having it. Stubbornness was one of my strongest attributes, she more than anyone knew this. What kind of life would we live? A sheltered trophy was not what we were born to be. We needed to save lives, protect those who couldn't protect themselves. Not sit in a palace and have others work until they bled for our privileges'. 

No I refused to be a damsel in distress, I didn't get a knight in shining armor to save me when I cried endless hours for it. I didn't receive deaths sweet relief when I tried to end my life. I was a warrior and that was how it would stay. Giving your life to save another is the epitome of love and passion. It was my passion to others to be their knight in shining armor.

I had to be, for those girls did not have anyone else, it was my responsibility. The office door opening snapped my attention from the now cold coffee I was still holding from this morning. Dolly walked over taking my cup and placing it on the desk. She sat down in front of me as I leaned back into my chair to meet her concerned gaze. 

To anyone passing by she looked like a dirty secretary giving me a peep show. Her burgundy knee length dress rose up her legs as she sat. I snorted at her and shook my head speaking lowly "What the hell are you doing Doll?"

She didn't react only reached out to cup my cheek. "What's wrong Mia. This morning it was cloud nine, even when I left you at the café. In the last three hours you've been a zombie. So, who pissed in my babies coffee? I'll cut them from ass-whole to navel and watch the blood flow like a river."

She was so serious I couldn't stop the laughter bubbling out. I knew if someone really did hurt me she would be the first to cause them bodily harm. I did not doubt her sadistic ways of torture and smiled at her appreciatorily. 

"Doll, we will need a few bottles of whiskey and a pizza to get through what happened." I Stood up and pulled her head towards mine. I pecked her lips softly and put our heads together to center myself. She was my soulmate best friend and I knew no-one would ever take her place. 

She snorted at me taking my hands in her own "Well in that case let me cancel the rest of our day and we are sneaking out the back." 

I shook my head at her "No babes, we have that meeting this evening for the tracker. This could save so many lives, and we could finally catch these bastards."

She nodded in understanding and pulled me into a tight hug. A throaty wolf whistle at the doorway brought us both to growling. Jack stood in the door with a smirk on his face and a slight blush to his cheeks. His eyes lusted towards us and he stared between us both. 

"I guess I understand now why Agent Reaux hates me so much. It's not just myself but all males, I can't say I blame her when I witnessed first hand the chemistry and raw desire you share with one another. Tell me how does one find this passion?" Jack's voice dripped between jealousy, desire and amusement.

"Oh, Jack don't be jealous. We always have room for a little wolfy to join." Dolly winked and I gagged. She laughed and walked over trailing her finger over the buttons of his suit. He gulped and looked down at her like a whipped puppy. 

I rolled my eyes, men are so gullible. "Dolly, quit before you make the poor dog leak on my floor. I'm not getting another cleaning done. Last time I couldn't use my office for weeks from the smell." 

His eyes jerked to mine and I smiled widely. Dolly sighed and let him go patting his chest as she left my office mumbling 'see you at the meeting'. Jack straightened his black suit and tugged on his navy tie as he shuffled nervously. I shook my head at him and sifted a few papers on my desk giving him a moment to compose his embarrassment. 

What was it with guys and loving female on female so much? 

He cleared his throat and walked over to my desk sitting down in the brown leather chair opposite my own. I raised a brow at him " was there something you have to say?"

" Yes, I wanted to see if you were available to meet in the next hour to see the tracker." He awkwardly shifted in his seat and looked out the window instead of meeting my eyes. He was clearly still trying to control his lust, I could smell his arousal like a fart in an elevator. I was disgusted, no matter how cute he was not what I wanted. 

Delilah growled and wanted to bite into his neck at the disrespect but I pushed her back yet again. "Jack if you would please meet me outside. I need a second to get the DNA together."

I was doing my best to clear my rising anger, or was it longing for Delilah kept whining for the king. I growled inwardly, his golden eyes came into my thoughts as I looked out at the sun. The warmth from the rays in my window reflected off the mirrored glass from the surrounding buildings.  I needed to get a grip and stop thinking about him, it was not going to work with us. 

"Maybe if you just gave him a chance, what if your over thinking this. Our mate will respect us and would help us in any way. Our happiness is what he would want and understand our goals.'" Delilah spoke softly as she could feel my resistance growing. 

I ignored her and shook my head picking up the few tooth brushes and documents on blood types. I shuffled the pictures until my eyes found the girl's Emilynn. She was such a beautiful being, she looked strong and powerful, yet deadly. I wondered how they kept her contained, if I had been a lion then the destruction left from me would be detrimental. I would have had them kill me as I wouldn't stop trying to kill them first. 

"Agent, there is a call for you on line 1." My intercom buzzed when Ellie my secretary spoke.

"Okay Ellie, thank you. Oh who is it?" I asked clearing my thoughts about her. 

"It's Mr. Arceneaux Ma'am"

I took a deep breath and picked up the line. "Mr. Arceneaux how can I help you?" 

"Hello agent, I was wondering if there are any new findings from my ma-sister. I hate to be a bother, I just don't know what else to do." He sighed and his voice trailed off. 

My heart broke for him, but I wasn't so sure about telling him on my new lead just yet. This could be a dead end and it would hurt us both to hear if it didn't pan out. 

"Mr. Arceneaux, as I said in our last meeting I have a lead but I won't know anything definitive until this weekend. I also am receiving new information that is promising. As soon as I know anything I will call you. Please do not loose hope in us finding her, we are working hard to find them all. " I tried to sound compassionate and supportive as much as possible. Not only for him but I felt I needed the reassurance as well. 

"I know, I just want to help in anyway and its hard to sit at the sidelines. I want to find her, I miss her laugh, her smell, her eyes. I want to hear her yell at me again over silly things and feel her heartbeat." He sounded on the verge of tears and it brought me to sniffle and wipe my own eyes. The sound of a broken person is never easy to see or to try and understand. 

He lost his world and had put his faith in a stranger for help. I couldn't imagine giving up that control to anyone else. I shook my head at myself its another reason I couldn't be with a king. He would control me and if I was meant to be controlled I would have come with a remote and operation manual. 

Delilah snorted at me and shook out her fur. "Mr. Arceneaux I understand and will do everything in my power to bring Emilynn home." 

He said thank you and we ended the call. I sighed and grabbed my things headed to meet Jack for the meeting. I was more than ready for some answers for him and hopefully good news to relay back. It was strange how much I had a drive to find this girl, almost like I had a connection to her. 

Shaking my head at the thoughts to it my mind started running through how I smelled my mate on another and I growled inwardly. I stopped mid stride when I realized It wasn't Del who was staking claim it was the human in me. No, this will not go further than my mind for sure. To speak it aloud is to admit it. 

I did the logical thing and boxed up all thoughts of him and his gorgeous smell locking it in the imaginary filing cabinet out of sight out of mind. I strutted to the doors leading outside my building and met with Jack and Dolly flirting again. I groaned as our SUV pulled in to take us the the Belvidere Hotel to see the tracker. 

The ride was filled with the smells of lust, annoyance and jealousy. I have to say if I was a teenager riding to prom it would be fitting. Being an adult in the mists of these two I was ready to walk there. 

"Enough you two. Can you f**k and get it out your systems, yours scents are making me feel like a pirogue in the the ocean during a hurricane. I may just puke my muffin in your laps." I groaned in annoyance. 

Both shut up and looked out their respective windows while our driver gave a an appreciative pat on the shoulder. I smiled at Brett and nodded a your welcome gesture cracking my window. Pulling up the hotel I was the first out for fresh air and started to walk into the swiveling doors. Dolly and Jack had to jog to catch up. 

"Hey Mia, what's the rush. I doubt this tracker is going anywhere." Dolly mumbled as she took in our surroundings. The lavish interior of whites, golds and black marble flowed effortlessly together, a faint sage smell burned and my senses where dulled. My body relaxed into a state of balance and I was shocked looking at Dolly doing the same. 

"Welcome Agents, It is a pleasure to meet you all. I am Armand and will be assisting Trisula with the meeting today. Please follow me to the meeting room." A very tall and caramel skinned man bowed to us as he led us down a series of corridors. His dark eyes watched us as we moved down the space. 

The end of the last hallway turned into a large garden. Lush greens, pinks and lavenders surrounded multiple plants and Ivy's hung from the ceiling. A tall woman stood level with Armand at 6 ft. 5in and smiled politely to us. Her caramel skin with cerulean eyes regarded us with interest. Her small slender lips curved into a smile, her white teeth and high cheekbones would make a supermodel jealous. 

Her scent matched that of the garden, hibiscus and a little lavender mixed in. The smell was very pleasant and inviting, like you were on vacation and relaxing. Delilah was calm and serene and to say it was a relief is an understatement. After the last several hours of debating our mates pros and cons I needed a break from her judgment and endless lectures. 

"Welcome Agents. I am Trisula, head of the SBI." Her voice was light with a slight sharpness to it. 

"What is the SBI?" Dolly was serene as the rest of us each taking seats around a long oval glass table with white chairs. 

"Supernatural Bureau for Investigation of course we keep a very discrete profile but are mostly involved in all affairs. We are a secret organization that specializes in the recovering or conviction for supernatural individuals. However even over the centuries we have never invited the human societies into our world. That is why my daughter Amelia has been watching you Taylmia and Dolly. Jack has assured us of your trustworthiness and he is highly regarded. We would like to offer you both a seat at our table, of course you would remain within your FBI field until such time as a human would retire, then you will spend the remainder of your time in our ranks." Trisula spoke with such fluently and provocation my mind swam with her offer. 

Of course we had never heard of them and always wondered if there was such a thing. I was both shocked and intrigued, Dolly and I had talked about the future many times. There was only so many ways you could change yourself before people noticed you not aging and started to question. 

Dolly and I shared a look 'Mia this is the answer to all our dreams!' She squealed into our mindlink. I cringed at her cheeriness but nodded with enthusiasm all the same. She had a point and before I could change my mind I stood and held up my hand to shake theirs. 

"We would be happy to join your team" I smiled to Trisula and Armond as we shook hands.
