DAMON.
Exactly forty minutes after we hung up, Sebastian climbed the steps and boarded the plane.

I wait until we’re rolling onto the runway before I look over at him in the co-pilot seat. “You know we’re going there to kill a guy, right?”
He snorts, running a hand down the front of his perfectly cut suit. “Giving the man a good view before he dies seems like a kindness.”
I might also be in a suit, but this is the one I’ve been wearing all day. He woke up and chose to get dressed this way.
I shake my head. “You’re an idiot.”
Seb shifts in his seat, trying to get comfortable. “If you must know, mother, I have to go to brunch with Lex’s sister and her husband after this. And I figured there’s a chance I won’t have time to go home between killing a guy and French Toast.”
“Hmm.” He has a point. “I thought you hated your sister-in-law’s husband?” I ask, pushing down the throttle.
“I do,” Seb grunts. “But my hatred for him is overshadowed by my fear of her. And she’ll make my life hell if I don’t show.”
“God, you’re such a pussy.”
“Fine, whatever. Now shut up and pay attention to what you’re doing.
“You suddenly afraid of flying?” I taunt. “I’m a good pilot and you know it.”
“Uh-huh.” He tightens his seat belt. “I also know what grades you got in physics, so don’t get all fucking cocky.”
An honest laugh rolls out of me as I pull back the yoke, the aircraft smoothly rising off the ground.
The sky is still dark at night when we climb off the plane and onto the tarma
Seb makes a scene of stretching out his back when he unfolds from the plane, as he always does. Usually, it’s accompanied by a comment about how the aircraft is too small, or how I need to upgrade to a real plane.
He knows I’m not in the mood for jokes right now though, as I use this time to prepare myself for what’s to come.
Reacting to aggression is one thing. But premeditated violence, that’s something else entirely.
I’m good at both.
Seb strides ahead to get a set of car keys from one of our local men. Joe took care of everything we’d need on this end too.
I glance over, hearing snippets of their conversation, and notice the man standing in front of Seb keeps his eyes down. There’s a good chance that man has no idea who Seb is, but he’s smart enough to know that anyone traveling with me, in the middle of the night, is someone to be scared of.
Seb and I have separate lives, lead separate packs, run separate careers, but in the underground, we rule together.

To the public, Seb is just another rich-as-hell businessman, busy fucking his way through high society and making millions through clever investments.
I’m a little different. To the public, I’m feared. A rich ruthless Lycan King that even other Kings don’t want to mess with, not just some guy who owns a security company and moves in the right circles because of the money I have. I do own all these things but I can be scary as fuck.
That same public has never seen the evil things I do. And if they do, if they hear the whispers, they figure it’s just a bunch of campfire stories. Some legendary story. Something from Gotham City, but not here. The bad guys never live here. But the thing is some of them are smart enough to believe it, like the dungeon that is rumored to be in which Lactually do. There have been many controversial thoughts on it online and around.
But I don’t give a fuck about proving shit to these people, so I don’t need to go out and tell them that they need to believe that I have a dungeon.
And that’s exactly how we want it.
flex my fingers, breathing in the cold North Dakota air.
But the fear of me is real, and even Seb is a fucking animal too. And the people in our world know to be scared of us.
To fear me.
