Chapter 45: A Gentleman?

Alex's POV

Things were going well with Dominique. She had absolutely no idea about Beth, and never questioned why I wasn't interested in taking things further physically. I had her eating out of the palm of my hand. Dominique probably thought I was a gentleman, an idea that made me smile. Perhaps she thought I was like her idiot former Alpha, Griffin. That guy actually WAS a gentleman, and look where it got him. Alone, and absolutely miserable. I knew this because he happened to be standing in line a few feet away from me.

We both happened to be at Henderson's, buying grain for our horses. I was there because I'd sent Gary, whose regular job it was, on a trip to haggle for a better deal on munitions. It was a job that could have been done by any number of people, but I needed him out of the way so I could arrange an assignation with Beth.
