“Okay, Rupert. You’re done here. Let’s go.”

Rupert clicked his heels. “At once, Alpha.”

He removed his name tag, walked up to the desk, and handed it over to the same guy Lyram had scared.

“I quit.”

“What? But—”

“He said he quit.” Gareth crossed his arms over his immense chest. “Is there going to be a problem?”

The guy swallowed hard. “No, sir. I’m sorry, sir.”

Gareth reached into his pocket and pulled out a wallet. He counted off several bills and handed them to the man.

“This should cover any inconvenience.”

Brown eyes widened. “Oh, but… I mean…. Yes, sir. Thank you.” He peered around, then leaned in closer. “Is everyone in your group scary?”

“I’m not,” Quinn promised.

That made Gareth chuckle deep in his throat. “Quinn is probably the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. And if you think I’m scary, you should see my husband. Even I won’t mess with him.”

The man shook his head. “No, thank you.” He looked over at Rupert. “Where will you be going?”

Rupert indicated Gareth with a thumb. “I’m going to work for him. Me and my family will be moving as soon as we take care of some business here.”

He gave Rupert a warm smile. “I hope it all goes like you want. It was a pleasure working with you. Now go on. I have to call the bell captain. That should be fun.”

“If he has a problem,” Gareth said, “tell him to contact me. I’ll be in Deke Simmons’s room.”

He chuckled. “I’m tempted to do it, just to see his reaction when he gets a load of you. But no, I won’t tell him Rupe left with you.” He drew in a sharp breath, his gaze traveling up Gareth’s enormous body. “Is there anything else I can do for you, sir?”

Gareth paused a moment. “Yes, I’m going to need two rollaway beds brought to the suite.”

“Oh, I don’t mind giving up my room, Gareth,” Quinn said. “I can sleep on the couch or find a different room.”

“No,” Gareth growled. “With everything going on, I don’t want anyone to be alone. You will stay in Deke’s room, Sean and I will take the other bedroom, and the extra beds are for Lyram and Rupert.” He nodded to the desk clerk. “The rollaways will be fine.”

“I’ll have them brought up right away, sir.” He smiled at Rupert. “I wish you the best.”

“Thank you,” Rupert said softly. He turned to Gareth, who led them toward the elevator. “I guess I’m all yours now.”

His gaze bounced between Rupert and Quinn. “Unless Lyram has a problem with it, I think you’re going to be Quinn’s. Seems to me you both need someone to keep you out of trouble back in Lydon.”

He grinned, and Quinn felt a weight slide off him.

Now if he could get Deke back, life would be perfect.
