“Why do you fight the fussing?” Jess stroked her hair.
“Because I haven’t had it, and I am afraid I would be devastated when it stopped.”
Jess burst into tears, and Caber took her and eased her away, comforting her. Jess fought him and hugged Olly.
Olly hugged the other woman, and then she went to her bedroom, charging her phone and answering the millions of texts from Polly.
No one could find Feng yet, but the entire city was looking.

Melbourne stood at the side of the ring. When the fighting duo was done, he looked at Feng and said, “I need to speak with you.”
“Yeah, you and every fanboy.”
“Jeez, no wonder she said you were a nightmare. Well, I need to work out child support and medical support for Olly.”
“Who are you?” Feng’s bluster faded.
“I am the legal representation for Olly Thorn. She’s started to suffer from the lack of her alpha, so I need to know as much as you can tell me about your beast.”
“Suffer?”
“Constant vomiting, lack of appetite, losing weight. My own mate suffered from this with her primary mate. She was dangerously close to either losing the baby or her own life. Don’t worry. If we can find a mate for her with a power signature close to yours and he tends to her, there is a chance she and the child can survive.” Melbourne looked to the tense beta behind Feng. “Huh. Taio, right?”
“What? What did she say about me?”
“Oh, nothing compared to what you said about her. To call an untouched woman a whore is truly low. I hear that Feng doubted her lack of experience with painful consequences.”
Feng growled. “She told you?”
“She told my mate, and she told me. No reason for her not to say it. She submitted to her alpha. Nothing shameful about that.” Melbourne shrugged. “The shame rather lies in the alpha that didn’t take care of her.”
Feng gritted his teeth. “Where is she?”
Melbourne flicked a piece of paper out. “Safe. This is my card. Send me details of the type of alpha you are, and we will find her someone who actually cares about those in his care.”
Taio said, “He takes care of me.”
Melbourne nodded. “And you make sure that he takes care of no one else. Selfish little beta. I believe you might have just cost your alpha a mate and a child. Idiot.” He sneered and left.
Melbourne wondered if he would get a call. He smirked and left the arena where he had first met Jess. It figured that the frustrated alpha would come here. Nothing like punching another alpha to calm one down.

Back in his hotel, Feng looked at the card and thought about what Melbourne had said. “Taio, do you hate her?”
His beta paused. “She isn’t my type. I prefer shy girls. Demure, polite.”
“Chaste?”
Taio nodded and froze. “Right. Uh, natural hair. That stupid blue she has is ridiculous.”
“That is the colour of my dragon. The jade of her eyes is pure. I asked her sister at the wedding. Her hair changed when she was fifteen. She has been marked since then. If you had not been with me, feeding me lines to send the women away, I might have noticed sooner. I think that actually to gain her trust now, I may require a second alpha so she has someone who will back her up.” He sighed. “I am too used to having your back. I automatically believed you when you spoke about her, and that was a mistake that contributed to me tearing her open for her first time. She couldn’t get away from me fast enough, and I do not blame her.”
“She didn’t say anything to you. She didn’t tell you.”
“If she had said it, I would not have believed her. She’s stunning.” He ran his hands through his hair. “But since she was a teen, she knew that any male around her wasn’t for her. She finally felt me near her and came to speak to me, and I called her a horny groupie.” He groaned. “This is so fucked up.”
