just how he liked it.
“Yes I would be happy to use your service, on one condition”
Murdoch took a long sip of his brandy before facing the alpha.
“Which is?”
“I want Brianna and Luke on the case, nobody else, or the deals off”
“I am sure that can be arranged, I will have to reschedule some of her work and reassign another team to the Mckenzie case”
“Do what you need to do , we are prepared to pay double as I am sure my Beta has already mentioned. When is the earliest she can be released from her current duties?”
Conor smirked at the impatience in Marcus words, Murdoch had no idea that this rapid push to close the deal was more about getting Bri onto pack territory where he could claim her. The beta in him wanted to get on with the case, but he was worried that Marcus would keep her restricted from certain tasks, leaving most of the work up to Luke. The warrior was definitely the one they needed on the case, but he worked as part of a team and that meant Brianna as tracker.
“Give me a day to sort things out. I am sure they can leave tomorrow. Do you plan to drive up with them or we can send them after they are released from current duties?”
Marcus was getting really impatient, shit, his ancestors would have just slung her over his shoulder and carried her home. Even though times had changed, there was no mistake of the ancient call of mates. It was ingrained in every wolf DNA. Pulling a hand through his hair he stood up.
“We will leave with them, the territory is dense and the roads hazardous unless you know the area”
“Very well, you are more than welcome to stay in the accommodation block tonight. All of our wolves have their own suite of rooms, so that they can be called upon at a moment’s notice”
“Thank you it has been a long drive today”
“I will show you to your rooms, if you will follow me”
Marcus and Connor kept a steady pace behind Murdoch. The building was huge, he pointed out various rooms of interest, probably just to keep the conversation going. The gym and pool was kitted out to the highest standard and he was pleased to see that they gave their wolves an outlet besides work. Murdoch, placed his palm to a scanner, which released a door into what looked like a private hotel.
“When you are ready to leave in the morning, ring down on the private line so we can release the doors”
Connor bristled a little, his security stance evident.
“Any other access route in or out?”
“No just this, is there a problem?”
Marcus looked down at Connor, seeing his train of thoughts across his face.
“I think my beta is just being cautious which is his job, we are used to freedom and lots of open space”
“ Ah, I understand, I am afraid that palm scanners are standard to access the buildings”
“Don’t worry, we are grateful for your hospitality”
Connor let out a low growl which Marcus immediately stopped with one look. Shaking his head slowly, they continued down the hall.
“Luke, can I have a word?”
They both stopped on hearing the warrior’s name. Luke could have cursed when he saw his boss, for fucks sake he was off duty, did the man never have down time? He smiled at the memory of his own, taking pleasure in sweet lizzy, she certainly had stamina which is why he had gone back for main course and dessert. Having just had the most powerful orgasm in a long time, he was sated and had planned to spend the evening watching the game on TV. One look at Murdoch’s face and he was sure his plans were just about to go down the shitter.
“Hey boss what can I do for you?”
“The company is taking the Buchanan case on, you and Brianna are on the case, you are due to leave tomorrow”
“And what about Mckenzie?”
“I’m reallocating another team”
“Well good look with that one, that guy gets pissed when his coffee is not the right temperature”
Murdoch sighed, clearly impatient with his employees tone.
“I will handle Mckenzie. The alpha
