TITUS

He knew his face projected a lethal calm, nothing but muscle at Rae’s back. Not that Rae needed protecting, but in their world of violence having someone bigger, and scarier caused people to hesitate before attacking, and that hesitation could be the difference between life and death. Rae, with her startling hair and curves didn’t look like she could shoot someone between the eyes, even though he knew she could while smiling the entire time.

Her brother, on the other hand, clearly wasn’t built for their world, whimpering and crying as he begged his sister for money. Pathetic.

He wasn’t sure what he’d expected when he’d first stepped into the snooker club, but the small flame painted onto the wall definitely wasn’t it. Church of the Light, extremists who hated anything Breed. Nor did he expect Sythe to be one of the guys beating the shit out of Rae’s brother.

He was a shadow, able to infiltrate anything with enough time and patience. He was the Guardians spy. The executioner.

So what the fuck was he doing there?

“Ravyns,” Sythe said, barely taking his attention off Rae. “We can’t have it traced now, can we?”

Of course, Titus thought. It would have to be the currency of the fucking Undercity.

Rae stiffened, her spine rigid. “And you think I have that?” she whispered, rage dripping from every word.

The blonde sniggered, clearly enjoying himself. “There’s other ways to pay, beautiful. You’ll look real pretty on your knees.”

Something inside Titus snapped, his beast roaring to the surface, tearing to get out. It took every ounce of willpower not to leap forward, and rip the blonde’s head clean from his shoulders.

“Come near me,” Rae said with an eerie calmness, “and I’ll cut your fucking dick off.”

Sythe finally looked at him, his expression not changing. ‘Calm the fuck down, dude,’ he said, connecting mentally. ‘You’re going to mess everything up.’

“She’ll do anything you ask,” Miles said, holding his hands out in surrender. “Won’t you, Rae?”

Titus clenched his fist, his chest aching from the power surging between his ribs. He wanted to repel it, the black magic vile on his tongue, but instead he used it to centre himself. He was always the calm Guardian, never losing his temper. But, yet again he found himself on the edge. All because of her.

“Fuck you Miles!” she hissed.

Sythe chuckled, continuing in his character. “As amusing as this is, we still haven’t seen any Ravyns.”

Rae let out a frustrated sound. “I don’t have that sort of money!”

“How much to keep you off his back?” Titus finally said, Rae turning to him with a frown.

Sythe’s expression hardened. “Angel wants all of it.”

“And I’ll get you all of it,” he growled. “So how much to get you off his back until we find that sort of money?”

Sythe cocked his head, looking towards the blonde with a raised brow.

“We’ll take half now,” the blonde said. “Half tomorrow.”

“We don’t have –” Rae began.

“Three days,” Titus interrupted. “Half now, and the other half in seventy-two hours.”

‘What are you doing?’ Sythe asked, his face smooth, giving no indication they were communicating.
