MYSTIQUE 21
Since what happened last night that I haven’t seen Fang, he has been with the police since they arrived in the early hours of the morning.
Sitting at the kitchen table I look around at Alaska and Siena, both in a quiet mood. They used to talk to Sam all the time, and from what they say they used to try and get her to come out of her shell and participate in things, but she refused to open up, refused to let go of the past, of the hurt.
“Onyx must be devastated,” Alaska murmurs.
“Yeah, her and Hawk were the closest to her here at the club.” Siena says as she lifts her coffee cup to her lips. I listen to them quietly. Since being at the club, I had only met Sam a couple of times and not long enough to have a conversation with her. She seemed like a quiet, pleasant woman.
“It will take her some time to get over the fact that Sam was partially responsible for her sisters’ death.” Alaska comments.
“Ladies” my head snaps around towards the door where I see an Inspector standing, his eyes taking everything in about the room. I see Fang right behind him, his face is expressionless, but I can see the tiredness in his eyes.
“Hi” we greet as he steps inside, Fang walks around him and comes to stand behind me, placing his hands on my shoulders. I see the inspector looking at us.
“Can I ask you ladies some questions?” After receiving our agreement he takes a seat.
“How long have you ladies known Samantha?” he asks, which has Alaska and Siena answering and me explaining that I haven’t been here long enough to know her that well.
“Tell me, are you any of the members Ol’ ladies, as they call it?” Alaska raises a brow at his statement but nods.
“I’m with Dash, Siena is with Blue and Myst is with Fang.” Alaska replies, the inspector once again looks at Fang’s hands on my shoulders but doesn’t say anything.
“Who was Samantha with?” he asks.
“She wasn’t with anyone, she used to help around the club.” Siena replies with a questioning look.
“Mmm, are you saying that she was never involved with anyone here at the club?” I see Siena frown and then look up at Fang as she shrugs.
“I’m saying that I never saw her with anyone.” She mutters.
“Fang, were you and Samantha at any time more than friends?” I tense at the inspectors’ question and feel Fang’s fingers tense on my shoulders.
“Not for a very long time.” He grunts, and I can hear the underlying anger in his voice. I know that Fang has slept with many women before we mated, but I also know that when a shifter finds his mate, he does not deviate from her, therefore the fact that Fang was involved with other women isn’t pleasant to think about, but it doesn’t upset me.
Raising my hand, I place it over his, he turns his hand to entwine our fingers. The inspector looks at us for a few seconds thoughtfully, then nods.
“Well, that’s all for now.” He says as he stands, “thank you ladies.” Fang leans down to kiss the top of my head before he follows the Inspector out of the kitchen.
“Poor Fang, he must be so fed up with these guys.” Alaska says when they are out of earshot.
“He has been with them ever since they arrived, he didn’t even come to bed last night.” I reveal.
“I’m so sorry Myst, it was supposed to be your night, and then everything happened.” Siena says in regret.
“Yes, my memories of our mating ceremony will definitely be different to everyone else’s.” I agree, “but our ceremony was beautiful, that is all that matters.”
“Myst!” I glance back towards the door to see Fang standing there. He inclines his head behind him, “they are finally gone, you want to come with me.” I smile as I stand.
“See you later.” I call as I walk towards Fang.
“I doubt that.” I hear Siena quip as we walk down the corridor.
“You must be tired; it was a long night for you.” He grunts at my words as he opens the door to our room for me to proceed ahead of him.
Once we are inside, he pulls me into his arms, “Hopefully things will quieten down for a while.” He lowers his forehead against mine as he closes his eyes. We both stand like that with our eyes closed enjoying being in each other’s arms.
“One of Skull’s men popped up in town, and Celmund found a trail which might lead us to finding Skull.” Fang says after a while, “but for now, we will be vigilant and make sure that everyone is safe.”
