I dismissed the rest of the warriors, and they left. I could see relief in their eyes. When they dragged Kappa James away, I felt rage in me. He was lucky I was stopped, or I would have killed him. He had hurt me badly. We could source Nitric Acid elsewhere but might not get enough if an army c
~Leo~ I got off the ground and headed into the house to wait for Amelia. Time was standing still in those moments. My troubles were distant. I paced about the place, not knowing what to do. I was mad at Yuri and the Stepanovs. This would have been a better experience in our small bungalow. Somehow

"That bastard is sick. He plans to take it all, and Sean is helping him," Grey said, and Leo slammed his fist into his palm. "I knew it. I knew that bastard could not be trusted. All the takeovers in the west, all the displaced people. That bastard. What is his gain in all this?" Leo asked. "Lords
~Leo~ I could not believe Sean was a bastard. Had we known he would betray us like this, we wouldn't have agreed to make him head Alpha of the West. It seemed right then because we needed the four regional alphas to agree to the kingship. Little did we know it would be a move we would regret. I
