{Amanda}
When I met up with the informant who was going to take me to George I knew that something was up but I went with him anyway. The moment I got into the van I felt a needle prick my neck and I was knocked out.
I woke up lying on a bed in what looked like a dungeon and when I went to sit up I felt a little bit dizzy so I laid back down and shut my eyes.
"Aww what's the matter? Not liking the side effects of the wonderful knock out drug that I made? You're so ungrateful, that was a gift! From me to you!" I heard someone say.
I opened my eyes and I saw Anthony standing behind the bars of my dungeon smirking.
"You!" I growled. "What did you do to George?"
Anthony chuckled. "George? Who is this George that you speak of?"
I rolled my eyes. "Agent 72."
"Oh that guy? Yeah he should be at home chilling out with his two husbands by now," Anthony responded.
I let out a sigh of relief. "Oh good, he's safe."
"You know I can see why you want him. The dude is a total hottie. Hell if I was gay I'd fuck him!" Anthony said with a smirk. "But yeah, he's home where he belongs. However, you and I have some things to discuss."
I raised an eyebrow. "Like?"
Anthony snickered. "The fact that your little Chaos faction has been destroyed."
I gasped, "What! No! That can't be! I know I've been MIA for a couple of months but I've been trying my best to stay in contact with them and-"
He smirked and cocked his head to the side. "Did the informant that I sent to you look familiar?"
My eyes went wide as I nodded.
He snickered. "Let me⦠introduce him."
He stepped aside and the one person who's been a thorn in my side stood behind the bars of my dungeon.
"Liam?" I said.
Liam gave a wicked laugh, "Hello. Surprised to see me? I told you that I'd strike when you least expect it. You just had to call my bluff didn't you?"
I narrowed my eyes. "Does the Council know that you're working with the factions?"
Liam rolled his eyes. "That's something you don't need to know right now. What you should be asking is what is Anthony going to do with you?"
Anthony gave me a sinister smile. "Oh yes, it's simple, I'm just going to keep you here for a couple of days and then you'll be free to go home. That's it."
I raised an eyebrow. "That's it? You're just going to keep me captive for a couple of days?"
"With no food, I'll let the guards give you water but that's it," Anthony said.
"But that's not fair!" I whined.
Anthony rolled his eyes. "Since when does an enemy ever fight fair? So you won't eat anything for two days but you'll be allowed to drink something just enough to keep you alive. You'll be fine and you'll be able to eat when you get home."
Anthony didn't say another word as he and Liam left.
Once they were gone I started thinking about how I could get my revenge but then I thought, why bother? I will leave the organization one day. Just not now.

After I left Amanda's dungeon it only took a couple of days for the takeover of her faction to be completed. Once that was completed Anthony let Amanda go just like he said he would.
Triple X called me into his office and we had a good laugh about what happened.
"I can't believe that Amanda thought she could get away with this!" I laughed. I paused and then thought of something. "I think it's time I let you know why I bullied your ex-partners and George."
Triple X paused. "Okay?"
"Well your ex-partners only wanted to be with you because of your status and some of them weren't even gay as they claimed they were," I said.
He tilted his head. "So you were protecting me? But what about George?"
I sighed, "At first I thought the same thing about George and I was kind of jealous of him. But when I saw he was the real deal and not with you just because of your status, I backed off. Not to mention he's the 2nd Knight now. Plus he's a total hottie and so is Branden. It's a good thing that I don't go after guys who are off the market."
He narrowed his eyes. "As long as you don't go pulling an Amanda, we're good."
I snorted. "I wouldn't dream of it! True, all three of you are my type but I got my eye on someone else. I doubt he'll look my way anytime soon even if he does remember me."
He gave a mischievous smile. "Is it someone from when you used to be an Elder?"
I nodded. "Yes and no I'm not telling. Besides, I have a daughter to raise and I don't have time for a love life."
He shook his head. "Tsk, tsk excuses, excuses! You're not sure of yourself. That's the problem."
I gave him a look of disbelief. "No. I'm good if it's meant to be then it's meant to be and if not, I just have to swallow my pride and accept it."
"But how will you know without talking to him first?" Triple X asked.
"While you have a good point I'm still just a Cadet at the moment. So right now I'll just focus on raising my daughter and training for my job promotion," I said. Looked at the nearby clock and stood up. "Luna will be waking up from her nap soon. Since today's my day off I'd like to spend as much time with her as possible."
I left the room and as I was walking I had no doubt in my mind that Triple X was going to find out who it is that I like and try to set me up with him.

"So what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" I asked with sarcasm in my voice. I was sitting in my office and the man who Amanda was cheating on me with was sitting across from me.
Dylan smirked. "Well as you know your wife is cheating with me."
I raised an eyebrow. "And? You think that's breaking my heart? If anything you're doing me a favor. She seems to be somewhat compliant with orders as long as she can be with you at least."
Dylan stopped smirking when I made that comment and then the look on his face turned serious. "Look, I know about Amanda's group called: Chaos. I have plenty of evidence to report her-"
I rolled my eyes. "That's already been taken care of. Right now Amanda's status is still set to 'observe mode.' So what exactly do you want from me? Let me guess, you want to marry her don't you?"
The way Dylan looked at me told me that I hit the nail on the head. I shook my head. "Why? Why do you want someone like her?"
"Wellâ¦" Dylan scratched the back of his neck. "I was going to say for bragging rights but seeing how you're only still with Amanda as a means of revenge, I want her to help keep me from being in an arranged marriage."
I chuckled. "Okay, I get it. I really do because my parents tried that with me before I became a Congregation Leader. But do you want to ruin your reputation with someone like Amanda?"
Dylan sighed and stayed silent for a short moment until he said, "Honestly, I don't really care about reputation at the moment. I want to get married but on my own terms. Besides, the Council wants me to keep tabs on her so I figured I'd get into a relationship with her in order to help my job. But then my parents started talking about marriageâ¦"
That made me pause and think. Dylan doesn't want an arranged marriage but if he can help me keep Amanda on a tight leash. "I think I can help you."
Dylan looked at me. "You will? How?"
"You help me keep Amanda obedient. If I issue an order for her, make sure that she follows it. True, she's been blacklisted from ever filing any complaints against me whatsoever, but she wants George and that is something I won't let her have," I said.
"So how is me making sure she follows orders supposed to keep her from George? You know, at the moment Amanda's got nothing to lose and everything to gain if she really wants it," Dylan said.
I nodded. "True, but I wonder what is your sexuality?"
Dylan paused. "Huh? That came out of left field!"
"Yeah I know," I said.
He bit his lip and looked like he was debating within himself if trust me with that type of information. I totally get it. It's hard to come out of the closet especially when you're in denial. That's how George was until he slept with a guy and then he admitted it. I wonder if I'll have to do that with Dylan?
Dylan sighed, "Okay fine I'll tell you. But promise me you won't tell my parents, please?"
I smirked. "Don't worry I won't tell."
"Honestly, I'm confused about what I am at the moment," Dylan said. "I know this is going to sound a little weird but I think I'm Bi? I'll sleep with a woman should the opportunity present itself. But then I prefer sleeping with guys more. I haven't said anything to my parents about it yet and I'm not sure if I will just yet. At least not until I figure it out."
My smirk turned into a smile. "Hmm, I think my boys and I can help you figure things out."
Dylan raised an eyebrow. "And how do you guys plan to do that?"
I gave him a pointed look. "How do you think?"
Dylan deadpanned. "Oh."
"Tell ya what you're invited to dinner tomorrow," I said. "After dinner I'll pull you into my office with Branden and George. I'm pretty sure you'll figure out what your sexuality is after we're finished with you."
Dylan gulped. "So you're telling me that you'll help me figure out my sexuality? How is that going to help me get out of an arranged marriage?"
I grinned. "You'll seeâ¦"
I ended the meeting with Dylan and promptly returned home.

"Let me get this straight, you're telling me that you want us to have sex with the man who Amanda is cheating on you with and marry him?" Branden asked. He rolled his eyes. "Why does this not surprise me coming from you?"
George snickered. "But doesn't the guy look like he's your type Branden?"
"He is but I wouldn't be surprised if he goes for you over me more, you're everybody's type," Branden teased.
I snorted. "Are you jealous Branden? I like it."
Branden's eyes went wide and he shook his head. "What! No. I'm not jealous."
George gave him a pointed look. "Huh-uh you said that a little bit too quickly. You're jealous."
"Okay so what if I am?" Branden pouted.
"Well then you go after him and make sure he pays more attention to you," George said.
"Okay I'm jealous but because what if Dylan becomes so obsessed with George that he tries to steal him away from us," Branden said.
I laughed, "I knew you'd be jealous for that reason! Actually, it's more like possessiveness. And remember we've talked about this when a new spouse enters the relationship 'invited' instead of 'uninvited' then all three of us have sex with him to determine which one he'll be married to. But if he wants all three of us then he'll get all three of us. Honestly, I think Branden is right. Dylan will probably gravitate towards George more."
George groaned. "I hope not. I already have two spouses. What if I'm not enough for everyone?"
I pulled George into my arms and hugged him. "You are more than enough for everyone."
Branden nodded in agreement. "Yeah I agree. Having two spouses has its perks yeah know, we can help you if it gets to be too much. I mean, we already worry about you when you're out on missions as it is. Knowing Dylan he'll be worried too."
My gut feeling has barely ever been wrong about these things. I wouldn't blame Dylan for wanting George more. George is a total hottie and his job helps him build muscle. George has a heart of gold and genuinely cares about his loved ones. For some reason he tends to draw a crowd when he's training and from what Branden's told me, he's getting better at his fighting skills.
I also think that having an ally like Dylan will help us keep Amanda away from George. Little did I know how well things would work out with Dylan and that he would fall for all three of us.

The next day Dylan came to dinner under the guise of being Amanda's "boyfriend" and introducing him to the family. I had a talk with Junior about Dylan becoming a family member and he seemed okay with it. But I had no doubt that he wouldn't have much trouble accepting Dylan as he did with Amanda.
This time I told Junior what to expect for this dinner. I also talked to Dylan about getting our stories straight so no one looks like an idiot at the dinner table. Of course I wouldn't mind it if Amanda looked like an idiot but I have to make things fair for everyone.
Everyone was sitting in the living room talking about nothing in particular when the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Amanda said in a sing-song voice.
Junior rolled his eyes. "Of course she'll get it."
George gave Junior a sideways look and said, "Junior, behave!"
Junior pouted, "Fine I'll play nice⦠For nowâ¦"
I covered my mouth to stifle a laugh because this was a little bit funny at the moment. Amanda answered the door and Dylan was standing there with two other people and I'm going to assume were his parents. The man looked like an older version of Dylan and Dylan confirmed the man standing next to him was his when he said, "Dad, Mom I would like for you to meet my girlfriend's family."
"Oh yes, this is Triple X," Amanda said before Dylan could say anything else.
Dylan's Dad raised an eyebrow. "Triple X? As in Congregation Leader Triple X?"
Amanda nodded. I went up to him and shook his hand. "Since we're going to be family in the future just call me Triple X."
Dylan's Dad nodded. "Okay."
Dylan's Mom beamed at me. "It's an honor to have my son be with a family of a high status."
"Thanks. I will make sure he'll be taken care of," I said.
"Oh great, another set of Grandparents I don't want," Junior growled.
"Junior!" George gasped. He turned to Dylan's Dad and Mom. "Sorry about that, Junior doesn't do well with outsiders. I'm George. And this is Junior. " He glared at Junior. "Say hi Junior."
"Hi, Junior!" Junior said.
Branden snickered and George looked at him and rolled his eyes. "Well don't encourage him!"
Branden snorted. "What? You told him to say hi Junior and he did what you told him to do. Don't blame me if he follows orders."
Dylan's Dad and Mom burst into laughter. After a moment Branden cleared his throat. "I'm Branden, it's nice to meet you."
Dylan's Mom composed herself. "It's nice to meet you too. Although I must say Junior is adorable! How old is he?"
"He just turned four a few months ago," George answered.
"He looks just like his father," Dylan's Dad said as he looked at George. "And I have no doubt he'll make a fine Agent when he gets older."
Someone cleared their throat to get our attention. I turned around and saw my butler. He nodded. "Master Triple X, dinner is ready."
With that everyone followed the butler to the dinner table.
