them for me?” She asked.
    Shane frowned, that was not so bad. After all, she was the female Alpha; she probably had access to the list anyway. He nodded and walked over to where the Enforcer who was taking care of the people who requested to be present during the challenge. Shane knew most of the people, Quin’s parents, and the parents of most of the Chosen. Also, the Old Council would be arriving soon. Shane didn’t know much about who they were, other than the fact that Oliver was the Old Council Alpha and Braden had been the Beta, until he betrayed them.
    The rest of the people would be the leaders of many of the Packs, Prides, Aries, and magical communities across the country. Everyone had a vested interest in the challenge, although most of them knew Quin would win, they still had to come and see who won. The outcome could change the path of the magical world.
    Quin and Jaden had not been happy about all of the people coming to Milliken, it left them open to the Rogues slipping past security. They had established quite a security system. He had even been surprised when he saw the face recognition software that arrived a few days ago. No expense had been spared for the compound.
    “Hey, Trip,” Shane said to the Enforcer who was counting the people on the list. They were working on how the people would enter the compound tomorrow to effectively make sure that no one snuck in. Shane had been privy to the meetings for security and he knew that it was going to be a long drawn out process. People had begun arriving in the area days after Quin accepted the challenge. He had never seen so many different kinds of shifters in his life. And with the new Chosen seemingly showing up out of thin air, the security was always hopping. “Can I see the final list of people who have been cleared for entrance tomorrow? The Luna would like to look it over again.” The tall muscular man snorted and looked at Cami who was looking at them with her eyes narrowed. “Really, Shane, do you even listen to the briefings in the morning?” Trip said and waved at the Alpha.
    “Uh, well, yeah, but this morning I was escorting Jordan and her mates to meet with her parents. I missed most of the meeting,” Shane said, unsure of what he had missed.
    Damnit, he should have asked, but he had been so busy with escorting the Chosen around that he had forgotten. He was too trusting, he knew it.
    “That’s why she asked you, you are such a push over. Quin and Jaden specifically said that Cami was not allowed access to the list. Cami and the rest of the Chosen females and mates have been doing credit checks and background checks on the leaders of the magical community. The Enforcers had already done checks but the females said that they had hired a witch to do theirs. It would be fine, but apparently, one of the leaders of a Pack out east had some questionable associations with someone, and the witch had cast a spell on him to get the truth from him. It had been a shame really, because the questionable associate turned out to be harmless, elderly shifters who had connections with the mob in the fifties. It caused quite the uproar,” Trip stated and then laughed when Cami stomped her foot and marched back into the Bed and Breakfast.
    Shane shook his head and said, “Thanks for saving me from that nightmare. I swear, she hones in on me all the time, I must have ‘naïve’ stamped to my forehead.”
    “Yeah you do,” Trip said and turned around.
    It was his downfall. Shane trusted his Alphas and New Council members to a fault. It was not like he shouldn’t give them his trust; it was just that Cami and the girls were known for manipulating the Enforcers. But he was an eagle, and in their Aeries the females were the leaders, Shane was not a push over if he knew that something was wrong, or if the females were in danger. He would be the first one there kicking ass and taking names.
    He was an Enforcer, just one who preferred to follow his nature
