“Will you believe me?”
“No reason not to,” she smiled.
“Can I trust you?” Alexander asked.
Bell’s smile turned into a giggle. “No reason not to.”
“I suppose that’s true.” Alexander laughed. “Deal.”
Alexander offered his hand; Bell smiled and took it, laughing as she shook it.
The door opened, and Galen stepped inside.
“Everything has been…” he started to speak, his words trailing off as his eyes were drawn down to their connected hands.
Bell was the first to react, pulling her hand back and moving behind the desk to sit at her computer.
“Did you get everything taken care of?” Alexander asked.
“Yes, my Alpha,” Galen replied, his eyes drifting to Bell.
Alexander glanced over at Bell then back to Galen.
“We should go….” Alexander said, turning to Bell. “We will let you know when we hear anything about Selene’s results. Please do the same.”
“I will,” she said, typing away without even a glance up.
Alexander walked past Galen, leaving the room. Galen’s eyes lingered on Bell a moment longer. Before he turned and walked out.
Bell let out a deep breath after she was sure they were gone. Then, trying hard to avoid thinking of the one her mind naturally drifted to, she focused on her newfound information.
“Selene and Alpha Alexander, mates? Crazy…” Bell laughed to herself.
She turned to the computer when part of the conversation suddenly struck her.
‘This has happened before?’
‘Yea, when Selene was poisoned with the wolfsbane.’
Alpha Alexander had felt Selene’s illness and pain miles and miles away.. So, if he was her mate, it made sense. But if he was not her only mate… why hadn’t Jackson felt anything?
The morning after they had met in her office Bell had sent a message to Alexander letting him know that Selene was being discharged from the hospital.
“I’m just curious,” Galen said, crossing his arms over his chest. “I mean, isn’t it normal to reach out to the Beta to get a message to the Alpha? It’s not like you two are close, right?”
“I don’t know, Galen. Why don’t you ask her?” Alexander sighed.
Ever since Galen had found out that Bell sent Alexander a message, he had brought the subject up in many different ‘subtle’ ways.
“Oh, that’s a good idea. Why didn’t I think of that?” Galen asked with sarcastic enthusiasm. Then, reaching for his phone, he suddenly stopped and snapped his fingers. “Oh, that’s right, she doesn’t answer my messages!”
Alexander did his best to suppress the laughter he felt rising in him. He had never once seen Galen show interest in a woman, and now it seemed he was pretty far gone.
There was a knock at the door.
“Maybe that’s a message for you now,” Alexander smiled.
Galen threw a shirt at him before leaving to answer the door.
Alexander poured himself a glass of water while waiting for Galen to return. He took a drink and looked up as Galen entered the room again. A strange look on his face.
“What is it?” Alexander asked, concerned.
“The message wasn’t for me,” Galen said, extending his hand with a letter in it.
Alexander took the note and read it. His initial reaction was disbelief, shock, confusion, finally landing on anger.
“What the hell is this!” Alexander shouted. “Where did it come from?!”
“It was sent directly from Alpha Wyatt,” Galen replied with a deep sigh.
Alexander’s only response was a low growl and a snarl before leaving the building.

“You can’t just–!” a voice was interrupted by a loud crash.
Axel jumped up from his place on the couch. Alpha Wyatt did not move as the door burst open.
“What the hell are you doing!” Axel shouted at Alexander, who stood huffing in the doorway, snarling in Alpha Wyatt’s direction.
“What is this!” Alexander shouted, walking into the room and slamming the note down on the table in front of Wyatt.
“Show some respect!” Axel snarled at Alexander.
“Respect is earned!” Alexander snarled back.
The two men held each other’s glares, growling angrily.
“Axel, you can go now,” Wyatt stated.
“But I–“ Axel turned to his father, objecting.
“It wasn’t a request,” Wyatt stated, looking his son in the eye.
Begrudgingly Axel bowed his head slightly.
“Yes, my Alpha.”
Axel turned to leave, casting a glare and low growl in Alexander’s direction.
“Go!” Wyatt shouted.
Alexander observed Wyatt as he waited for Axel to leave the room. Finally, after the door had shut, Wyatt looked up at Alexander.
“I expect you to show me respect while you are in my territory,” Wyatt growled.
“As I said,” Alexander replied, “respect is earned.”
Wyatt and Alexander stared at each other, neither willing to look away.
“Selene is an unmarried woman with a mate. It is inappropriate for her to be spending so much time alone with an unmated wolf.”
“It didn’t seem to be an issue when I trained her in Summer,” Alexander countered.
“There have been concerns raised that were not considered before,” Wyatt answered. Then, standing from his chair, he moved a set of papers to his desk.
“What does that mean?” Alexander asked, holding back his anger.
“I didn’t have all of the information when we made this arrangement.”
“What information?” Alexander asked. His irritation only rose with each comment.
“The shameless way you and your wolves have been raised,” Wyatt spat.
“Be careful, Alpha Wyatt. I might think you are insulting my parents,” Alexander growled.
“It is because of your parents that I didn’t heed the concerns before!” Wyatt shouted, his anger masking a deep sadness. “I don’t know where you got your morals from, but based on what I have seen, your beta shares them.”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean!” Alexander shouted.
“It means that you and your wolf have been playing around with someone precious to me!” Wyatt shouted, turning to face Alexander once more. “That child has been through enough in her life. She doesn’t need two wolves sniffing around her like a piece of meat.”
Confused at first, it finally clicked who Wyatt was talking about. Unfortunately, the revelation only served to fuel Alexander’s anger.
“Your words are insulting. Not just to Galen and me, but to Bell as well!” he shouted. “You claim she is precious to you while in the same breath you cheapen her character!”
“How dare you!” Wyatt snarled.
“Galen nor I have done anything dishonorable towards Bell, and she is someone I respect and consider a friend. I won’t let you imply anything different,” Alexander stated firmly. “She is a strong and beautiful woman with whom Galen has found a connection. If they wish to pursue that connection, that is between them!”
“It does her no good to be confused by the two of you. If you truly care for her as you claim, then you will stay away from her,” Wyatt demanded. “That is what is in her best interest!”
“As I said, it is between them,” Alexander said, “I am only here to discuss our agreement.”
“And I will honor that agreement,” Wyatt stated. “But not with my daughter.”
Alexander growled.
“Don’t test me, boy!” Wyatt shouted at Alexander.
