She was simply stunning. It was almost unbelievable that a woman like her could exist in this world and even when Hans saw her for the first time he had gasped. She was tall, with a luscious figure, long pale arms that were covered in tattoos and wild curly brown hair that reached down to her waist. Her eyes were an earthy green, showing the deep colors of the trees and on her cheeks you could see freckles splattered, revealed underneath the shadows of her long eyelashes. Her lips were full and red, her voice like the sign of a siren and her eyes shone with the spark of intelligence. 

She was seated at the hotel's bar, a tight black dress on her body with lace sleeves, golden rings on her long fingers and a pair of really tall red stilettos. She held a glass of red wine, deep like the color of her lipstick and the moment she locked eyes with the Alpha of Moonshine she smirked and elegantly stood up. 

"Aira, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Mikain greeted her by politely kissing her hand and she smiled, showing a row of perfect white teeth. The Alpha sat down with her, ordering a glass of Bourbon while Hans stood behind him, his hands strictly behind his back. 

"Well, I just wanted to check up on things." she said sweetly while her eyes traveled to the tall blonde man. Her lips lingered on her glass as she made eye contact with him. The Beta after a while averted his gaze, making her chuckle. "Hans, you won't sit?" she asked him. 

"No, thank you." he said coldly and she pouted, letting go of her glass.

"Pity. You're really handsome, you know that? And that scar of yours, very manly." she complimented him and Hans coughed, feeling uncomfortable .

"If all you wanted to do was meet my Beta Aira you could tell me. I would have given him to you for as long as you want." Mikain told her with a charming smile and she laughed, pleased with his answer. 

"No matter how pleasing that sounds, dear Mikain, I did come here for business. It's just sometimes I tend to get distracted. I like nice things." She said, not taking her eyes off of Hans once while she spoke. The tall man fiddled in the spot he stood and tried to look somewhere else, he didn't like when all eyes were on him. He felt uncomfortable. 

"And what business might bring you here? I thought we had cleared everything out." Mikain said, thanking the waitress that brought his drink. He took his first sip, enjoying the taste and the ice cube hit the glass making a chime-like sound as he placed it onto the table, together with Aira's drink. 

"I did think of that too. What a coincidence" she said, obviously being ironic. "But because sometimes I have a lot of things on my mind I would like to talk our deal over. Make sure I understood everything. Is that alright with you?" she asked him politely and he smiled, slowly relaxing with her attitude. 

"Of course, we can talk about whatever you want." 

"That's great, thank you for your understanding. So now, if I am not mistaken…" she said and took a few seconds pretending that she was thinking. "You promised my coven a dead pureblood prince. Kai Avger. We would give you a very good amount of money in return, isn't that right?" she asked and Mikain nodded. 

"Yes, that was the deal."

"The money on our end has been deposited to your pack's bank account but as it seems our prince is not in our coven. Did he get lost in the mail?" she asked him, her expression from innocent and smiley turning suddenly cold and serious. Mikain spotted the change in their conversation immediately and fixed his posture, tensing his body, ready for what she was about to say. "Do I look like I am stupid to you?" Aira asked him, an angry expression on her face.

"What?" Mikain said. "Of course not, we chose to do business with you because you are one of the most powerful witches we have." he complimented her, hoping that would calm her down slightly. Sadly though, for him it didn't do much. 

"Then tell me why do you think my coven and I will tolerate this disrespect? Where is my prince Mikain?" she asked him, obviously demanding for an answer.

"We had him, he somehow managed to escape though. I have sent men everywhere searching for him. They have searched all around the city and now they are preparing to look again in. He will be coming to you very soon." he said with confidence and Aira raised her eyebrow. She didn't say anything. Silence filled their little meeting until Mikain started coughing. 

His hands landed on his neck, as if he was trying to push away a pair of invisible hands that were suffocating him. Aira smiled, her eyes stuck on him as the Alpha felt like his whole body was on fire, his eyes popping out like a fish. 

"Please, let's be civil" Hans said and she stopped, tilting her head to the side.

"Now you're talking to me." She said with a cute smile before she returned to Mikain who was gasping for air. "This is just a little treat of what's about to come if you don't bring me my prince. Not only to you but to your whole pack. I will personally make sure that you die painfully and humiliatingly." she said as she stood up. She opened her little purse and threw a handsome amount of money on the table, a lot more than what her drink cost.  "Goodnight gentlemen." she said, giving them a stunning smile before she walked away. 

"This bitch…" Mikain mumbled and smacked his hand on the table. "Do whatever you want to make her calm down." he ordered Hans and his eyes widened. "She is fond of you." 

"Mikain I…"

"I don't want to hear another word!" he shouted, drawing all the attention from the customers. "Send more people out there, search under every stone, kill anyone who doesn't speak, i don't care. Find him.. Orelse, we are all dead."
