She opened the door to her home above her little herb and book shop. She had made it home before the rain got to heavy. Reaching up she took the clip out of her hair as she made her way to her bedroom. Once there she struggled to take her dress off as her vision blurred and her heart felt heavy. Her phone rang from her small clutch she had with her. Reaching in she pulled it out and answered.

"Hi Ember."

Her friend frowned on the other end.

"Are you alright?"

She stiffens.

"No one hurt you or anything did they?"

Smiling softly she sat on the edge of the bed.

"No. I did get caught up in a tapestry when a man with blue eye's came up to me. We danced, talked and laughed. He was wonderful and was fine with me being nervous."

Ember smiled.

"So, did he have a name?"

"He said his name was Tommy. I thought one was to stay anonymous?"

Ember shrugs.

"You can but you don't have to."

She grins.

"What did he look like that you can remember?"

She sighs as she laid down on her bed."Aside from blue eye's, broad shoulders, beard and mustache, his hair

was slicked back and shaved on both sides. And some tattoos on his hands. Ember stiffens as she sat up straight while swallowing hard.

"What did you say his name was again?"

"Tommy. Why? What's wrong Ember?"

"I'll be over in a few. Don't open your door for anyone. I'll let myself in with the spare key."

With that she hung up to quickly change then make some quick phone calls before she left. Staring at her phone she felt a shiver go down her back before going to wash her face and get ready for bed while waiting for Ember to show up. A short while later she heard the door open as Ember entered and locked the door behind her. Turning she see's her friend there with two cups of tea.

Going over she hugs her tight before sitting beside her on her couch.

"I have some friends keeping an eye out for us if he shows up although I don't think he will because of the rain."

Ember took her hands in hers.

"He didn't do anything else to you aside from dance and talk Brigid?"

"Well, before I left we danced once more then tried to seduce me into an orgy with him. Then this woman came up to us, ignored me and rubbed herself against him while groping him. I left right after that. I have no interest in anything like that."

Sighing Ember pulled out her cell phone and pulled up a picture before showing her friend.

"This is who you were with tonight."

Brigid was in awe as she looked at him without his mask.

"He is a good looking man."

"His name is Aleister Black. He's known for holding orgies at times. Usually at a masquerade ball."

Ember took a breath.

"He's mostly were as well as a witch."

Brigid stiffens as a hand goes to her throat.

"A were and a witch? Is he dangerous?"

Ember could sense her friends automatic distress and unease and smell the beginning of fear.

"No! You should be fine! He probably won't bother looking for you. He has other things to do."

Brigid took a deep breath to calm herself as she took a sip of tea.

"You're right Ember. I just peaked his curiosity until something else came along."

Ember drank some of her tea as well.

"So, tell me what it looked like in there?"

She wanted to take Brigid's mind off of Aleister. What better way than to describe the ballroom? She watched her friends eye's light up as she started to describe the architecture and the colors. A short while later Brigid had fallen asleep on the couch as Ember smiled softly at her. She considered her a sister from another mister and vice versa. Sighing, she got up to cover her with a throw from the back of the couch before going outside and locking the door behind her. The rain had stopped as she made her way down the stairs and started down the street as she called some people.

"Anything Sami?"

"Not a thing Ember. The rain would have washed away her scent. There's no way he could've tracked her."

"Thanks for helping Sami."

"It's no problem Ember. Brigid is awesome. We like her."

Ember smiles.

"She's like a sister."

Sami yawns.

"She is. I'll talk to you later."

"Night Sami."

Hanging up she dials another number. He answered with a grunt causing her to roll her eye's.

"Anything big guy?"

"Actually yeah. Something interesting."

"Lay it on me Baron."

"He's in his study not upstairs with the others."

Ember stopped in mid-step surprised.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, I've been watching him and he hasn't moved from the room. He's just staring into the fire with drink in hand. Hey, he has a mask in his hand."

"What color is it?"

She held her breath.

"It looks ivory colored. Why?"

"That's Brigid's mask."

Baron watched through the window as Aleister raised the mask up to touch it to his forehead closing his eye's and taking a deep breath.

*Hhmmm...Interesting.*

"I think it's safe to say he can't track her so he's sulking."

"Good. I hope he suffers and gets limp dick for awhile."

Baron chuckles.

"Go get some rest Ember. I'll keep an eye on him."

"Alright Baron. I don't think he'll be able to track her because of the rain fall."

Baron grunts.

"Yeah, but he is part witch. He could try to use her mask to track her."

Ember cursed not thinking of that.

"Shit!"

"When he leaves the room I'll sneak in and grab the mask. And it looks like he's starting to nod off."

"Just be careful Baron."

He snorts.

"Of course I will. When have I not been careful?"

"Do you really want me to answer that?"

Baron snorts.

"Shut up..."

Ember laughed as she hung up.

Shaking his head he put his phone away and watched for a little bit longer to ensure that Aleister was asleep. Sure enough around half an hour later it seemed that he was asleep. Grinning slightly Baron went to jimmy open the closet window to him. As he started to open the window the den door opened causing Baron to curse under his breath as he went back to the shadows to watch. A woman wearing nothing but a robe entered the room, took a look at Aleister and grinned. Closing the door she made her way over to the sleeping man and got on her knees in front of him while putting her hair up.

Baron watched as she carefully took the mask from his lax hand, took a sniff and did a silent snarl before taking the mask and slipping it on. He watched as she undid Aleister's pants carefully and pulled his cock out.

Frowning hard he had a feeling about Aleister's reaction to her when he woke up. She took his hardening cock and started to gently suck as she played with herself anxious to have him in her.

Aleister was having an amazing dream. His mystery woman was giving him head as she knelt at his feet. Moaning softly he started to thrust up into her willing mouth as he slowly woke. Hearing her moan had his cock fully hard as he buried his hands in her hair so he could fuck her face. Opening his eye's to watch he was shocked to see Billie at his feet giving him a blowjob. His wolf was wide awake and pissed that she try to take advantage of him.

Without a thought he yanked her head off of him and stood with his hand around her throat snarling as he yanked the mask off.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing Billie?!"

She was shocked at his actions.

"You didn't come up and Peyton and I missed you. So I decided to come find you and have some fun."

"No."

She looked at him surprised.

"No?"

Glancing down she saw his erection was gone as he tucked himself back into his pants.

"You heard me correctly Billie. No. I found my mate earlier and failed to realize it until it was too late."

His voice was quieter as he got towards the end. He took a deep breath.

"I am no longer on the market. I will no longer attend or host any more orgies. You and the others will leave."

She was stunned at his words.

"You found your mate? She's the one from earlier?"

She felt something vile take root inside of her. *No! He's mine! No one else!* Swallowing hard she smiles slightly.

"Do you need a hand finding her?"

Frowning slightly he let go of her throat to do up his pants.

"No. Thank you Billie."

He sat back down in his chair looking at the mask while running his thumb over it.

"You may leave now Billie. Let the others know."

She gave a slight nod.

"Of course Aleister."

With that she left softly closing the door behind her.

As she made her way upstairs to let the others know she was raging as well as planning. As she approached the bedroom she paused to take a deep breath and plaster a smile on before entering.

*One way or another he will be mine!*
