“He owes money to most… Fucks and takes it in the ass like the dog he is. Wrong thing to say. Getting cock is near to heaven. No. He is worth less than the mud on my shoes, for he’d lick and ask for more if it meant getting a reprieve on the money he owes.”

“You don’t like him, I take it.”

“Let’s just say he was bad for business.”

We stood, two alphas, each with their own thoughts and motivations. And Goddess, it was almost as good as sparring with my fists.

“I just need to draw him out. We’ll take care of him after that.”

“Why?”

“He shot Beatrice and would have done more given the chance.”

He scratched his jaw, then abruptly nodded. “Follow me, fancy boy.”

I shook my head and climbed the steps, following the shadowy alpha. We climbed up and up to the top floor where the servants’ quarters would have been. Instead, it was cleared out. A large room with a few others sparring—men and women, but all of them betas. Everything stopped when we entered, and Puck began to strip off his shirt and pulled off his boots.

“Get back to it.” He snapped.

“You are… Training betas?”

“There are alphas who pay good money for a strong beta to guard their omega. They don’t care if they beta is male or female… Alphas and omegas don’t see a threat if it looks and smells like a beta.” He rolled his shoulders and bounced on the balls of his feet. “Come Colonel—”

“And you get an inside someone into society’s packs. Sounds like something Polly would do.”

He shrugged.

I shook my head. The games Polly and Drexler and Puck played were far too complex for me. I wanted nothing more than to get rid of Stimpson and settle into a life of mated bliss. A bliss involving a pair who sparked and went wild for me and each other.

“Paws up Puck.” I rolled my shoulders and brought my fists up close. “I’ll punch that pretty face.”

“You can try.”

Then we sparred. A perfect and easy dance while we weighed each other up. It had been over a year since we’d done this, and I relished the chance.

We panted. Both winded and grinning.

“Damn that’s good.” He panted. “Fuck. Hound, come here!”

One of the betas, a big blond, walked up.

“Do you want to know why we call him Hound? He has the biggest cock you’ll ever see, and he fucks like an animal. Isn’t that right?”

Hound laughed. “Whatever you say, boss.”

“Do you want…” Puck indicated between me and Hound. I shook my head.

“Your forget I’m mated. I’ve a pretty mate of my own and an alpha, who fucks like a god.” I grabbed my shirt, pulling it over my head.

“Glad you got over your little problem,” Puck said with a laugh that followed me out the door. Remembering why I’d come in the first place, I clenched my jaw and returned.

“And my problem with Stimpson?”

He shrugged. “I’ll try to remember? Good enough for you?”

“Tell Drexler.”

He smirked. “Good to see you, Colonel.”
