quietly, wanting to survey the scene for a moment. Chris was taller than Nathan by a good couple of inches, and broader too. Nathan was backed up against the kitchen counter, but gave back as good as he got from the other man, who was clearly trying to intimidate him.
    “I have to drive all the way up here just to get my stuff, Nate, three hours of my day wasted on you. Seriously, how much effort is it to drive by my new place?”
    Nathan narrowed his eyes. “Seriously, you know my work is crazy and I rarely have to be in your new neighbourhood. You work part-time, you have plenty of time to swing by and pick up your crap!” He huffed. “I mean, you had plenty of time to cheat on me for two months.”
    Nathan hadn’t mentioned Chris being a cheater, and Alex let out a quiet growl. If there was one thing he couldn’t stand, it was disloyalty, especially now. Wolves looked out for their pack mates, and Nathan had taken care of him last night.
    “At least he had time for me,” Chris sneered. “And yeah, your fucking job always had to come first, didn’t it? You always felt you were better than me. Well, I hope you’re fucking happy in this middle of nowhere town, can’t be long before the hicks get you.”
    He had had enough. “You must be Chris,” Alex said, stepping into the room calmly. He smiled at them both, then casually walked over to the counter to stand next to Nathan. “Nathan’s told me about you.”
    Chris huffed as he sized Alex up. “Did he?”
    Alex kept smiling in a friendly manner, fighting the urge to bare his teeth and growl. Let Chris draw his own conclusions. “Got an earful just then too.”
    Nathan hung his head. “Sorry you had to hear that, I didn’t mean to –”
    “That’s all right.” Alex cut him off, and slipped one arm around Nathan, pulling him closer. “I know how passionate you can get.” He ran his hand up and down Nathan’s side over his t-shirt, then left it on Nathan’s hip.
    Chris’ bright blue eyes darted from Alex to Nathan and back. “Who the fuck even are you?”
    “I’m Alex.” He held out his other hand, but Chris didn’t shake it.
    “What are you doing here?” Chris demanded, glaring up at him.
    Alex forced himself to remain calm, even as the wolf inside wanted to tackle Chris to the ground and show him who was in charge here. “Isn’t it obvious?” he asked, then slid his hand up under Nathan’s shirt. The move resulted in a quiet gasp from Nathan, and Alex’ smile grew.
    Chris snorted derisively, then looked at Nathan. “Didn’t take you too long to move on, did it? Or were you fucking him while we were still together?”
    “For fuck’s sake, Chris, not everyone’s a cheating asshole like you.” Nathan leaned into Alex now. “I only met Alex last night, and he spent the night here. It’s none of your business.”
    Alex’ mouth twitched with held back amusement. “And a wonderful night it was too,” he added, stroking Nathan’s smooth skin with his fingers. He must’ve hit a sensitive spot, because Nathan shifted a little and the scent of his arousal became stronger. Alex kept stroking the same spot in slow circles, happy with how this was going so far. “Wasn’t it, Nathan?”
    “Great,” Nathan said, looking slightly flustered as Alex lowered his head to nuzzle Nathan’s hair.
    Chris quietly glared at them, and Alex happily kept up the façade until Chris stomped off, muttering to himself.
    “Is he gone?” Alex asked, his nose still buried in Nathan’s hair. It smelled nice, with the faint scent of other animals that no shampoo could ever fully remove.
    “Yeah, he went upstairs.” Nathan smiled up at him, then sniggered. “I know, I’m supposed to be an adult and handle breaking up like a grown-up, but that was fun. I’ll go after him, tell him where his things are.”
    Nathan immediately ran off, and Alex missed his warmth by his side. “Don’t get dragged into another fight!” Alex called after him.
    Nathan
