Chapter 25

Alec walked into HQ and found Dix right away. "Come with me." He said and headed to his office with Dix hot on his tail.

"Have you looked at the security footage?" Alec asked closing the door after Dix walked in.

"I did." Was his only reply.

"Well what did you find out?" Alec questioned harshly.

"You're not going to like this at all." Dix started replying but found it hard to say exactly what. "It was Amanda."

The words hit him and his world started spinning. Amanda, his Amanda had brought those guys into TC. This couldn't be right, she had no reason to do that, no Dix saw wrong.

"Before you say that I'm wrong, I did a background check on her and she's been lying to you from the beginning. Unit 17 never existed." Dix explained.

Alec nodded and opened his door for Dix to leave. He sat down and tried to make sense of all the information and knew he had to talk with Lydecker, only he could tell him the truth. Thanking Dix Alec headed back out, his first and natural instinct was to go and find Amanda and get that situation settled. However he wasn't going to do that without some facts.

Meg headed to the command center to find Alec, she knew she'd been extremely unpleasant with him. He'd always been there for her, saved her numerous times. She was almost there when her arm was grabbed and someone yanked her around.

"You better stay away from him." It was Amanda.

"What?" Meg questioned not too sure what she was talking about.

"He's mine now so don't think that just because yours is dead you can have mine." Amanda was yelling causing everyone to stop what they were doing to see. Among those people was Alec.

Meg couldn't say that Amanda had nothing to worry about because she did. She'd loved Alec from the very beginning. She only dreamed of being with him only a million times. Therefore she decided to give Amanda a piece of her mind.

"Sweetie, he's nothing but mine, you can't have him no matter how much of a cheap shank you are." Meg said and could hear the whispers from the others. 'She's just like her mother.'

"Who the hell do you think you're talking to exactly? I'll have you know that he's with me and not you. I didn't see him run to you now did he?" Amanda replied feeling confident.

"He came to me last week; he came to me when I was attacked. He wants to come to me right now as he's watching us." Meg said and saw Amanda flinch. "You see you aren't his and he's surely not yours because you can't even feel him when he's near." Meg laughed and turned pointing up to where Alec was standing.

"You stupid bitch." Amanda swore and pulled her arm back ready to punch Meg. A loud growl was heard and she froze as Meg turned to face her. In seconds Alec was standing half in front of Meg.

"Do not touch her." He said with such venom in his voice that half the population standing watching them shivered.

"Alec?" Amanda whispered staring at him.

Alec slightly turned his head to see Meg as she stepped out from behind him and stood completely in front of him. Instinctively his arms went around her waist and rested his hands on her stomach.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll turn around and walk away." Meg replied placing her hands softly over Alec's and felt him relax instantly.

Once Amanda had disappeared out of view Alec turned Meg around to face him but kept her close to his body. "Did you mean that?"

Meg couldn't help but smirk up at him. "Did you seriously think I wouldn't come back to you?"

"Honestly, I never thought I get you from the first day we met." Alec replied bending down and capturing her soft lips in a heated kiss. He'd missed the softness of her lips and skin as he caressed her lower back.

"Umm… I was actually come to tell you that I was sorry for the way I treated you after you saved my life again…" Alec kissed her again. "I guess you're not upset with me." Another kiss. "I hate to be a party pooper but I've got to get to work." He kissed her again and dragged it out a few minutes.

"It's okay. I've actually got things to do as well." He replied getting his mind back on track. He'd have all the time in the world to be with her from now on. "Why don't you stop by my place when you get off work."

"Oh, and why would I want to do that?" Meg questioned playing innocent.

"Ha, funny." Alec rolled his eyes and she laughed. "You know you want me as much as I do. I can sense it." This time it was Meg that rolled her eyes.

"Please, like I even remember how you are." She joked which made Alec grab her ass and squeeze it tightly while nibbling below her ear.

As quickly as he'd started he'd stopped and was walking away. Meg couldn't see him but he was smirking, proud of himself for he knew that Meg was now stunned and horny for him.
