Chapter 34

• The only brothers I hadn’t had to explain to were the two rulers, no doubt though one or more of their siblings had told them what happened. It didn’t stop them from pausing in their conversation to give me a once over, identical expressions on their face and the same concern in their matching hazel eyes told me my fat lip had been noted and would be filed for future reference when it suited them.
• I paced along the length of the table, wishing everyone would hurry up and get here. The last we waited on was Rafael. Maybe it was being back here that had me edgy or I was still pissed for letting that asshat get a shot at my face, but I was jonesing for some action and drawn out meetings weren’t within my comfort zone.
• Troy and Chase were off in the far corner, heads down, words I couldn’t hear being spoken. At that moment, they looked every bit the rulers. There were lives at stake and laws had been broken, both Kings wanted swift resolution and justice.
