Chapter Three

"Do you like my favorite spot Mr. Alec?" Madize looked up at Alec with wide eyes full of wonder and hope.

"I love it Miss Madize, thank you for showing it to me." Alec smiled as Madize held onto three of his fingers as their feet dangled over the end of the dock watching the sun slowly sink down behind the horizon.

"I like you Mr. Alec and so does Maggie!" Madize said cheerfully and Alec ducked his head down to hide the blush that crept up on his cheeks at the fact that even Madize could see the way Magnus looked at him.

"Can I let you in on a secret Miss Madize?" Alec lowered his voice to a whisper and Madize giggled as she leaned in to hear Alec better.

"I like Maggie too," Alec whispered and Madize let out a happy giggle as she clapped her hand over her mouth, her eyes lighting up with excitement.

"So maybe your be my new godfather?" Madize looked so hopeful and Alec couldn't stop his heart from warming the way Madize was looking at him.

"Maybe, who knows what might happen in the future." Alec shrugged as he rose to his feet and held his hand out in a noble gesture to Madize who beamed at the action.

"Shall we head back then Miss Madize?" Alec put on his best posh accent.

"We shall Mr. Alec." Madize took Alec's hand and the two headed away from the secret dock and back into town. Madize was babbling away to Alec as she swung their hands happily, Alec couldn't help but look at her and think of Izzy when she did the same thing when she was Madize's age. He really did miss Izzy and Jace, but he only hoped they were safe and out of harm's way.

"Well, well, well what do we have here? A fresh face with little Madize?" A sneering, sharp female brought Madize to a stop and she stepped behind one of Alec's legs like she was protecting herself.

"Miss Camille." Madize greeted in a subdued tone and Alec instantly didn't like the dark haired woman who was wearing a low cut dress that was open at the front showing off her legs, a fan clasped in her hand and red was bright on her lips.

"You are rather pretty for a man, there are a few wealthy patrons who would love to have a night with someone as pretty as you." Camille stepped into Alec's space, tapping her fan against her chin as she inspected Alec like he was a piece of meat.

"Your consideration is noted but I believe I have to pass." Alec put on his best manners even though all he wanted to do was pick up Madize and hurry back to the tavern where he knew Magnus was waiting.

"Oh don't leave so soon pretty, come in for a drink or two. I'm sure little Miss Madize can get home on her own." Camille purred, voice low and poisonous. It sent shivers down his spine and he had to fight the urge to take a step backward.

"Leave us alone," Madize said bravely and Alec placed a hand on her head in a comforting gesture.

"Shut up brat." Camille sneered and Alec frowned as anger built up in his chest.

"Don't talk to her like that," Alec said firmly and Camille snapped her eyes to him and an ugly look passed over her face.

"Who do you think you are?" Camille snapped as anger flared in her eyes.

"Back off Camille." Magnus' voice cuts in as the Captain slipped between Alec, Madize, and Camille.

"Magnus darling, it's been too long." It was like a flip was switched and now Camille was a simpering thing who looked to be about two seconds from clinging to Magnus. Something ugly bubbled up in Alec's chest at the sight and he wanted nothing more than to drag Madize and Magnus away from this toxic woman.

"Not long enough Camille, step away now." Magnus' voice turned harsh and cold, something that made Alec's eyes flutter slightly as he saw the Captain of the Prince rise to the surface.

"You dare to talk to me like that?" Camille shrieked and moved forward.

"I'll do more than dare if you take one more step," Magnus warned, hand resting on the hilt of his sword dangerously.

"You little!" Camille raised the fan and before Alec knew what he was doing he found himself between Camille and Magnus and stinging pain emitted from his cheek as the woman's fan made contact with his cheek.

"You bitch! Stay away from Alec!" Magnus snarled as he curled Alec into his arms before pushing the taller man behind him protectively as he growled at Camille.

"You were never worth the trouble." Camille sneered as she stalked away and back into her brothel that was only a few feet away.

"Are you okay Alexander?" Magnus turned to Alec, forgetting about Camille instantly when he saw the red mark appearing on Alec's porcelain skin.

"I'm fine Magnus, it just stings a bit," Alec assured the worried Captain who was looking near panicked at what just happened.

"Who was that woman?" Alec asked as he easily lifted a slightly shaken Madize up onto his hip to let her hug him tightly.

"Camille, an old ex of mine. She was abusive and greedy but I didn't see it for a long time. We've been broken up for a long time but she still loves to bother me and try to make my life miserable in some way or another." Magnus explained as he curled an arm around Alec's waist and led him to the back door of Catrina and Ragnor's tavern.

"I can see that," Alec chuckled a bit as he allowed Magnus and Madize fuss over him. He gratefully took the block of ice that was wrapped in a cloth from Catarina when she saw the mark on Alec's cheek. Magnus insisted on holding it for Alec who agreed shyly, not used to letting others take care of him.

The tavern bustled and hustled around the small group who were in their own little world so they didn't notice the way someone in a dark corner was watching Magnus and Alec interact with dark, shining eyes.

Camille grumbled to herself as she sank into a chair in her office to deal with some paper that she had been avoiding, she needed to take her frustration out on something, she reached for her quill only to be stopped by the touch of cold steel on her throat.

"Answer my questions and you will be most handsomely rewarded." A voice rang out but Camille's eyes were drawn to the sight of gold coins spilling out of a bag that was tossed onto her desk.

"For that kind of coin, you can have anything you want sugar." Camille flirted.

"Tell me about the boy with Captain Bane." The voice demanded.

"With pleasure." Camille let a smirk appear on her lips, this was a chance to get back at Magnus and take his newest toy out of the picture.
