When I got to Buck’s shop, I was seeing red. Amber had warned me, but the other shit coming

through the grapevine had me livid. The anti–outsider propaganda they had been spewing had

me feral. Briar wasn’t some tourist trying to stake a claim. She belonged here, and I had full

intentions of shutting them down.

I strode into the office.

“Carter,” Buck addressed me, standing up and coming out from behind the desk. Buck was a

burly tattooed man in his late 40s. He wasn’t responsible for Miranda and other crew’s

actions, but it was his job to rein them in. I closed my eyes, I didn’t want to have to do this…

however, it was necessary for her protection.

“You need to call off Miranda before she goes too far, or her and your other bitches get a very

painful lesson.”

Buck chuckled darkly. “You have a lot of nerve coming here making threats, Gamma.”

I growled and flexed my fingers urging my claws to stay put.

“That’s Beta, to you.”

“You’re only a Beta out of necessity, we all know it. You don’t have the backbone to do what’s

really necessary.”

“Don’t test that theory Buck, or you’re gonna find yourself on your back, showing your belly.”

“Bet that pretty Alpha–stinking–reject you’re protecting likes it best that way. It’s the only

proper place for a whore.”

“Watch your fucking mouth,” I snarled, the only thing keeping my claws in now was not showing my hand entirely; my reaction already a slip. “I’m doing my job, as requested,

whatever it looks like to anyone else is not my concern,” I bit out.

“What I don’t get is why she’s allowed to shack up in Jake’s place, we don’t let outsiders stay,

especially another Alpha’s trash. There’s got to be a reason he’s allowing her to stay. But

why?”

I couldn’t let myself get baited anymore than I had, so I held my ground and bit back the

possessive protectiveness running hot in my veins. Usually, this kind of bullshit didn’t bother

me, I could take the jabs. What I struggled with right now were the jabs at Briar.

“That is not your concern. What you should be worried about is keeping Miranda on a leash.

I’m not putting up with your crew’s bullshit. Leave Briar alone, she’s off limits. Why is none of

your fucking buisness.”

Buck chuckled. “Is this coming from my Alpha or his piss poor choice of a Beta? I must know.”

“Both,” I snarled, stepping closer to him. All the pent up need for protectiveness was

amplified. I set loose the full force of my dominance at Buck as I stepped into his space. His

eyes bugged as he fought the order to submit, his skin rippling with the urge to shift. I pressed

harder, extending the limits of my dominance, and finding more to shove at him.

“Fuck,” Buck groaned, as his knees buckled. He collapsed to his knees. I shoved him with my

booted foot, and he fell backwards.

“As I promised, you’ve been warned. You or any of your crew fuck with Briar and they get a

lesson in what it means to go against me, and I’ll let him deal with you because your not

worth my time. You’re a mate beating, cheating piece of shit stain we don’t need around here.

So I won’t mind handing you your ass if the situation calls for it, so be my guest; try me Buck,

keep your crew in line, or you can suffer the consequences.”
