A Mission Impossible

Shawn's POV

"Did she ask you anything about Jenna?" I ask Jude who just plop down on the couch in Colby's office. Colby and I waited for him to answer. We were both curious about her tour with Jude. He takes a deep sigh before throwing me a look.

"What do you think Beta?" he scoffs.

"I was just asking," I growl back at him. My wolf disapproves of Jude's attitude. He didn't like Jude's reply and currently, I am trying not to lose control. If my wolf takes over, Jude won't be giving us that look and attitude.

Jude rub the back of his neck and sat up straight. "It's easy to talk to her but it's so hard to watch her cry for her misery in the past" he explains. I sit up straight and glare at him.

"The fuck did you do? Your job was simple. You are supposed to make her feel welcome not to feel shitty" I angrily scold him.

"Shawn, you need to calm down," Colby said when seeing my jaw and fist clenched.

"Look, you don't get to be mad at me. Our Alpha offered for you to be her tour guide and you push me to do it. So don't go all Mr. Bad Wolf on me when you dodge the responsibility to be there for your mate. Or should I say ex-mate?" he said and shrug his shoulders.

I growl at him making him jump up to his feet. "What the fuck did you do?" I ask, gritting my teeth.

"Nothing, I just told her about Jenna and she cry afterward" he explains.

My body suddenly relax and my wolf stopped fighting me for control. "You do realize you made us worry for nothing," I said and Jude give me a guilty smile. "You bastard," I said and lunged for him but Colby was quick to get in between us.

"Oh and one more thing. I think she is up to something" he added which made me stop trying to reach out to him. Colby turns to him with me behind Colby. "After telling her about some part of Jenna's life she cry but when we left to go home she has that look on her face."

"What look?" Colby and I both said at the same time.

"You guys both know that whenever Jenna has that determined look then it means she's up to something," he said and we both nodded our heads muttering two words 'mission impossible.'

"Exactly" Jude reaffirmed. "She's not going to stop until she gets an answer."

The last time Jenna had the mission impossible look she ended up leaving me for good. Yeah, it's a pretty sore topic for me but I kind of deserve it.

"And?" I urge him to go on.

"Well, I can't read her mind but she seems to me, she's going to dig into Jenna's past. Her past" he said.

"If she does that, it only means she's going to uncover the truth about us," I casually said.

"Which is not a good thing" Colby finishes.

"How is that a bad thing?" asked Jude in confusion. "I think when Mr. Odega comes back he's going to keep her occupied," added Jude.

"That's why we can't let her out of our sight. Mr. Odega had informed me that his stay has been prolonged. Therefore, he is staying in another town for another week," explains Colby. "Don't forget she's a human, not a werewolf anymore. And remember she is his ex-mate, not his mate" Colby pointed to me which made me grimace at his words.

"You didn't have to say that dude," I said with hurt.

Colby just ignore my feelings and keep explaining to us why it is bad for Claire to know our existence. Yep and just like he ignores my feelings I ignore him too and stare at a blank space before me.

"Shawn... Shawn?" Colby slaps me on the back.

"What?" I deadpan.

"Focus, dude. We can't let Sr. Claire know anything about us or herself in the past."

"Then tell us what to do?" I said.

"We sabotage her" Colby smirk while thinking.

My wolf growled within me. He didn't like how our Alpha thinks of what to do with our mate. "Bingo, I got it" Colby jump to his feet. "You two will keep eyes on here 24/7."

"Nooo" Jude and I both shouted at him at the same time. "Not going to happen Alpha. That is a bad idea" I said.

"Suit yourself then but when she discovers the real truth I wonder who will be burned then," Colby said. I stop and think of his words "fine, count me in but Colby you need to let everyone else know."

"I'll link the pack tomorrow Shawn. So you don't need to worry," Colby smirked at both of us.

The bastard knew it was not going to be easy for us to keep Claire away from finding out the truth. Colby left me and Jude in the room.

"How are we going to do this? I don't think Claire will snoop around," I said to Jude.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Dude, I swear I was telling you the truth," he reply.

"Fine, we're going to keep our eyes on her. I will watch her at night" I said.

Jude raises his brow before giving me a cheeky grin. "Admit it, Shawn, you can't resist but to wonder what is hidden under those clothes she wore. Such a perv" he teasingly said while laughing. I move in to choke him but he runs away and stops by the door.

"I watch her at day while you take over the night Perv" he pokes his tongue and runs out.

I kick the table and slump down on the couch. My hands rubbed my face. I thought about what to do and how to not made myself lose control in front of her. Closing my eyes I tried not to overthink everything that has been happening.

~~~

Days pass by quickly and true to Jude's suspicious Sr. Claire woven her way into our pack and people around us to uncover the truth. The shittiest thing is, she's giving me a sleepless night. I don't know anymore if she's a human or a night owl. I don't even know if she sleeps or not as she always roams around the dark hall of this house at night.

I swear if I wasn't a werewolf she would have scared the hell out of me. I know how determined Jenna was in the past but I never knew this side of her as Sr. Claire. It's like she's an upgraded and a better version of her.

Speaking of Jenna, the thought of her brings pain to me. I don't blame her because it was I who wronged her as a mate. I groan hearing a knock on my bedroom door. Last night Claire didn't even spare my poor soul.

The woman did know how to make her mission impossible for me.

"What?" I push off the duvet and move to the door. I open it to find Jude leaning against the door. "What?" "You need to get up. I can't find her" he said in a worried tone.

"I am sure she's in her room."

"No, she's not because Hanna told me Claire left this morning for the store. However, I've been to every store in this town but I can't find her," he explains and I began to panic.

"Damn it, we have to move fast before Colby notices," I said and move around my room to grab a shirt.

There's no need to wear a short since I am wearing one. It's not like I have been sleeping and like I mentioned before that woman made it impossible for me to sleep. So, I only take a nap.

Jude and I move downstairs and out of the house we run to search for her.

Since Jude had already searched our main street, we decided to go to the woods. I ask my wolf to take a sniff of her human scent. Jude and I follow it unfortunately it's like we're both running back and forth.

"I swear that woman is a mission impossible. You said she's a human and look at how she made us run out of breath. Not forgetting those sleepless nights," Jude says while trying to catch his breath.

"Either she still pretends to be a human or she's a natural talent," he said, wiping off the sweat from his forehead before standing up straight to put his hands on his hips side. "I don't get why her scents are everywhere unless she's not the only human here."

I look at him in fear. "Shit we have to find her," I growl at him and ask my wolf to try again.

When my wolf link that he was able to scent her correctly this time we were about to run after it again when we hear a piercing wolf cry. What's even scarier is when I hear a human cry out for help.

"Shit, this can't be good. You run after her I will go to the west border" I instruct him but Jude shook his head no.

"I will link Colby and get to the west border while you go to her since your wolf can pick up her scent," Jude suggested.

I didn't argue again and instead, I turn around and run deeper into the woods following her scent.

"Somebody please help me" I hear a frantic cry from her and I push my legs to run faster. I was ready to take down whoever is hurting my mate.
