Domonique P.O.V
I can't believe Rick actually brought up this plan and that my brothers actually agreed to go through with this! I mean, sure, I would like my brothers' mate to bond with them and accept them for who they are but why must I be the pawn in setting the tone for all of this?
I am currently sitting inside CoffeeHeavan sipping on a cappuccino waiting for Jennifer to come on in so that I can make quick work of the plan.

"It's already well past 8 and she hasn't arrived yet Jason, I'm really not getting a good feeling about this" I told my brother over the phone.
"Are you sure that you maybe just didn't miss her or not see her through the crowds of people in the shop? Maybe she had a beany or something on her head that made her unrecognizable?" Jason started to reason. I gave a frustrated grunt, "No you i***t! I think I would have noticed if she was here in the store. I have been here since it opened and had my eyes fixed on the door for the past 2 hours!!"
"Okay fine, you can go home, I'll send Jarrod to her house to go check up on her and John to her work, maybe she just decided not to get coffee this morning"
"Well fine then, just know that you owe me $5 since I had to sit here and wait for your mate who obviously decided not to show up" I said matter of factly. Jason just laughed, "You only had to sit there and wait for her. Nobody told you to drink half of the stock they had... that is on you lil sis! Anyway, I'm going to see if I can find out what's going on with Jennifer. Chat to you later"
Well done big brother, as always smooth with your words. I made quick work of putting on my coat and scarf ready to leave so I could get back to the packhouse and back to a certain somebody I can't seem to keep my eyes off.
Jarrod P.O.V
After Jason linked me to say Jennifer did not pitch this morning and asked if I could go and check up at her at home, you would have been able to see my bright smile from miles away. I jogged down to the garage and got into the Jeep and sped off. It took me about 20 minutes but I finally arrived at Jennifer’s house.
Something seemed off when I looked at the house from outside. As I stepped onto her front porch a rotten scent hit my nose and I immediately got nauseated with the thought of rogues being near my mate. I took out my phone to call Jason. "Have you found her? Is she still at home?" Jason's voice boomed through the phone, not even a hello.
"Jay, I think you and John need to get down here to Jennifer’s house. Bring Cole and Rick with you. I picked up on a rogue scent on her front porch and -" I couldn't even finish my sentence and Jason had put the phone down in my ear. No doubt he is most probably on his way here.
I couldn't just stand outside and wait, please Moongoddes let my mate be safe inside the house. I quickly went around the back and got the key from the couch I saw Jennifer get yesterday night when she got home. As I opened the door my stomach flipped and it felt as if all the air had me sucked out of my lungs by the view before me.
Her house was a mess, the curtains torn, couch cushions lying everywhere, pots on the ground and claw marks all around the floor. I went in further to the kitchen to check if she's there, then I proceeded to go upstairs and thats's when I smelled it. A metallic smell of blood with the faintest smell of sunflowers and iris. That's when it dawned on me that my poor innocent mate is hurt and I wasn't even here to protect her.
I let out a growl that shook her house windows just as my brothers arrived. Jason came storming into the house, panic written all over his face. "Where is she???" he yelled.
"I think someone took her bro, there was clearly a struggle in here, the smell of blood and the stench of rogues" I said with tears in my eyes.
Jason just stared off in the distance as I explained everything to him before her finally snapped out of it. "John, your up. Track her scent or even the stench of that filth that took her -" Jason could barely finish his instructions as John stormed out of the backdoor, shifted and bolted into the woods no doubt tracking our mate.
Not long after John gave an ear piercing howl and we knew he picked up on a scent. The rest of us shifted and bolted into the woods after John. I felt a mindlink come through and Rick's voice came in my head.
Jarrod, this is bad. If those filthy things took her... no doubt she found out about werewolves. She might be afraid of you thanks to these sh!theads
Well F#CK! I swear I'm going to rip those filthy mutts to pieces and even then not enough justice would be done! How dare they take my mate! How dare they hurt her! How dare they f*cking ruin everything we planned so hard for!!!
Just then, we arrived out into a clearing. Infront of us was a barely even recognizable house. John pointed towards the house, indicating to us that our mate is in there. We all quickly shifted back into our human forms and put on shorts we had taken with us.
Jason turned to the group and started barking out orders:
"Cole, you and me will go in from the backdoor.
John, you and Rick will go in from the front.
We clear room for room until we find her! Jarrod, you are coming with me! No doubt you are the only one of us that can keep her calm"
We all nodded as we knew what we had to do.
"Let's get ready to have a f*cking dance party" I said getting ready to rip those mutts a new one
