Page 59 of The Married Alpha And His Arrow: Vol 1

Heath rolled his eyes and messed with my hair, “I’ll see you around, little sister.” I teased, “Not if I see you first.” I took off. I could hear the Lieutenant’s scream of anger before I made it back to my place. It was really that loud. He had no right to be upset about someone following me. My phone beeped.

Heath:I did actually punch Noah.

Me:What did he do?

Heath:He called me stupid for letting you go to your house here instead of carrying you home kicking and screaming with someone following you.

Me:I’d get out.

Heath:I know.

Me:You should tell him it’s called trust and respecting boundaries. Not that he’d know anything about either.

Heath:You are piquing my curiosity about this situation.

Me:Curiosity killed the cat.

Heath:Good thing I’m not a cat.

Me:True.

I put my phone away and got into my car. I rolled down the window asking my guards, “Wouldn’t you two rather ride in the car?” Both came out in shorts. I laughed, “We are going to have to stockpile jeans and t-shirts in the office and in Ted and my cars.

Kevin got in the front seat while Kincade got in the back. Kincade gratefully said, “Thank you for the ride, Lexi.” I smiled letting them know, “You get an office too.” Kevin seemed relieved, “That will be nice.” Kincade commented, “And easier to protect you.”

I let them know, “My office is fairy enchanted.” Kincade groaned, “To do what?” I answered, “For privacy. No one can hear my meetings.” Kevin rubbed his face, “Then we need a panic button.” I considered it then replied, “That seems like a logical request. You figure that out logistically, and we will get it done.”

Kincade observed, “You are very easy to get along with.” I admitted, “That’s a matter of pride with me. I pick my battles. You two being able to help out in a situation where, for example, eight demons pop up with tranquilizer darts is ideal. A panic button so Chase doesn't get upset with you if eight demons’ shimmer into my office helps everyone. If you request something unreasonable, I’ll fight you on it.” Kevin snorted, “Noted.”

I walked into the office at nine thirty. Ted glared at me, “I was worried SICK! You are ALWAYS here at nine. I could set my clock by you being here by that time. Matt kept assuring me you were fine. How he knows this, you ask? I don’t know because he won’t say!”

Ted looked behind me then waved his hand, “Never mind, I see how he knows this. Are they my guards?” I answered, “No, they are mine.” Ted did a double take, “Totally looking hot today girl says what now?” This was going to be one hell of an explanation.

I went into my office and got out a key. I handed it to Kincade explaining, “This to the office right across the hall. You can set it up however you like. In true hotel form, it looks JUST like this room.” They laughed as they walked out of the room.

Ted walked in demanding, “Spill. Don’t think I don’t see those hickeys on your neck because I do. We are going to get there; don’t think we are skipping that, but I want to know why you have guards. I have a theory, but it’s lacking.”

I sat down asking, “What’s your theory?” Ted theorized, “You banged Alpha Chase so well he wants his fuck buddy guarded because you’re the best sex he’s ever had.” I laughed then acknowledged, “That’s not completely wrong.”

Ted shrieked, “NOT COMPLETELY WRONG?! THOSE HICKEY’S ARE FROM ALPHA CHASE?! You said you didn’t want to meet him! Because of your string. Oh. My. God. Sandalwood. You’ve been smelling sandalwood. Your body tenses just like I tensed and smelled apple pie. GIRL! TELL ME YOU ARE THE LUNA AND I’M THE BETA MALE! TELL ME! TELL ME! TELL ME! TELL ME!” Ted was bouncing up and down in his chair by this point.

I nodded, “Yes, but we're keeping that quiet for now.” Ted shouted, “QUIET?! Are you kidding?!” I shook my head no. He went to his knees and clasped his hands, “War Goddess I will never doubt you again so long as live. You are the real MVP of ALL the Goddesses. ME AND MY GIRL TOGETHER FOREVER!”

Ted stood and hugged me then he asked, “Does my Matt know?” Matt was in trouble. I responded, “I believe he does.” Ted started plotting, “OHHH he’s gonna get it good. Just like you gave it to Alpha Chase good. Wait, you’re not marked.”

I pointed to a chair, “Sit, I’ll explain.” Ted sat down and I knew I had his complete attention. I told him, “Chase has some situation in his life.” Ted waved his hand, “Yes, yes, yes. I know. Haley told you that your string did. OH MY GOD! DOES HALEY KNOW YOU MET HIM?”

I winced, “Not yet. As I said, we are keeping things quiet right now. He’s still dealing with a situation, but he doesn't want to mark me until his life is in order.” Ted thought about it, “Alright, mad level of appreciation going for the Alpha Chase right now. Respecting my girl like that. So, how was it?”

I dreamily stated, “It was amazing.” Ted questioned, “Wait, how did you meet?” I sighed, “Eight demons shimmered in to pay Diane a visit.” Ted’s eyes went hard when he yelled, “MOTHERFUCKING LEAK!”

I huffed, “Yeah, they wanted me to give them the Black Arrow for killing Unger.” Ted interjected, “Peak irony. Continue.” I smirked, “Fighting ensued. Those two guys you just met showed up to help me. Chase came in and dove on top of me to take a tranquilizer in the side.”

Ted tilted his head, “Sure, he couldn’t have shifted and yelled ‘run, Lexi.’ We are freaky fast. Heat of the moment though I guess. I’ll let it pass that he forgot. Plus, that’s hot. So, he shifted, and you were under his naked rock solid body. Continue and keep all the steam included in this story. I’m living for it.”

I laughed, “He was passing out. I realized he was my string, so I took my back to my house.” Ted nodded, “Naturally. You naughty little minx. You wanted a piece of Alpha Chase.” He paused then yelled, “WAIT! You took him home as in…” I continued his thought, “As in my fairy protected house, yes.”

Ted shrieked, “GIRL! I am so proud. Tell me you got that D all night long. Tell me. Come on… Tell TeleTed.” I winked, “It was well into the morning.” Ted said, “YESSS! That werewolf stamina. Tell me I was right, everyone will feel better.” I laughed admitting, “You were right. It’s certainly something.”
