"How is Matteo doing?" Two weeks had passed since the frightening experience of one of the subs getting threatened. Alec and Hao did everything to find the guy but since that day they had threatened Matteo it was like they just vanished into thin air. It was quiet... too quiet.

"He's doing okay... just hates going out alone and to be honest I don't like the thought of him walking around the streets either." Hao answered as he stripped from his work clothes and Alec sighed. "Poor guy...I bet you're planning to make him forget about that tonight." Alec smirked as he wiggled his eyebrows and Hao chuckled getting his leather pants on.

"What about you...any Sub in mind tonight?" Hao asked settling down on the black couch in the bigger meeting room of the pandemonium club and Alec nodded.

"I promised Teddy he would get a reward for doing well on his exam and I plan to be intense." Alec replied causally and Hao watched his partner get ready. "You gonna watch the show or head right to your playroom?" Hao always worried about the anger Alec held in him but he was also quite fascinated by the self control he had.

"Teddy wanted to see the show and I promised him we would watch it... we will meet at my usual spot at 8." Alec was really glad he was getting to play a little and get that stunning boy from before out of his head that he had met two weeks ago. Sometimes Alecs mind just found its way by itself to Magnus and Alec didn't like that at all.

"Why don't you two just start a contract? You already act like he's your sub anyway." Hao blurted out bluntly which Alec was usually thankful for but Hao asked this way too often and Alec had to answer this question a lot more than he preferred. "I already told you. I don't do contracts or feelings... lets go before we're late." Alec didn't want his mood to get ruined because an angry Alec wouldn't give Teddy what he deserved.

"Fine." Hao murmured in response and together they went to the puplic room where the show would be. They took their usual spot on the half circular couch close to the stage and waited for their subs to arrive. Matteo was the first one to arrive by his Masters side but didn't have the chance to kneel since he was directly pulled on his Marsters lap.

"Teddy's taking his time I see." Hao whispered to Alec as the light dimmed and the clock turned 8. "He really is testing me these last few days." Alec sighed annoyed and if there was something he hated more than a disobeying sub it was an unpunctual sub. "Master Alec, may I speak to you for a second?" A shy voice filled the room and a slender figure appeared in front of him.

"Yes." Alec replied giving the boy permission to look up and meet his eyes. The boy startled a bit as he looked in the cold eyes in front of him and Alec smirked loving the reaction he was given. Let's say not many subs in the club dared talking with him and most just kept their distance.

"T-Teddy... he is in your playroom... Master Alec." The boy stuttered and Alec frowned rising to him feet. The sub looked scared and immediately casted his eyes down making Alec chuckle. "Don't worry... you aren't the one in trouble. Thanks for telling me." Alecs voice didn't hold any emotion as he passed everyone and left to his room.

To say Alec was angry was an understatement but all the anger left his body when he opened the door to his room. "You've got two min... what the hell... Teddy?!" Alec exclaimed as he saw the young man sitting on his bed with blood on his cheek and bruises all over his chest. Alec hurried to the sub and knelt down in front of him seeing the frightened eyes of the young boy who flinched horribly.

"Who did this to you?" Alec asked like usual lacking sensitivity but the young boy was used to it anyway and tears prickled his eyes. "A... a man, Master... I'm so sorry... I just, I didn't want the others to see... I could... I can barely walk." Teddy stuttered and Alec was mad as hell. He was mad that the young man apologized for something that was clearly not his fault and Alec took a deep breath.

"Did the man tell you anything?" Alec asked placing a hand on Teddy's thigh and Teddy shook his head. Alec had a guess who this was and he was feeling guilty because Teddy was in danger because of him. "Okay... can you strip down to your underwear? Not to play of course... just so I can see all the injuries." Alec tried to be really gentle but he couldn't and he was a bit overwhelmed as the boy started to cry.

"Teddy, you need to calm down. You're save now, okay. Can you stay calm... for me." Alec didn't ask now anymore and just demanded because he knew Teddy quite well and he knew Teddy needed authority to soothe him. "I'm sorry for ruining the night." Teddy mumbled quietly calming down slightly and Alec flashed him a glare. How could Teddy really blame himself for this?

"Teddy, you didn't ruin the night. You got attacked... so do not feel guilty." Alec scolded the boy who lowered his head in submission. "Still I hate that the night is ruined, Master." Teddy sighed and Alec lifted the boys head with two fingers under his chin smirking at him.

"Let's move the things I planned to next week...alright?" Alec whispered with an evil grin as Teddy's cheeks heated...//tbc
