CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Garrett Kayrs kept the helicopter low and near the mountains, his hands easy on the throttle. The moon shone down, giving him plenty of light. Ivar had dropped him and Logan off in Vegas, and they’d quickly made their way to their own transportation.

Logan was normally quiet, but tonight his silence had weight.

“You think it’s a bad idea?” Garrett asked through the headset.

“No.” Logan reached up and clicked a couple of buttons, turning the helicopter into stealth mode. He’d been tweaking it for the last five years. “I just figured we had more time before destiny kicked either of us in the balls.”

Nicely put. “You’re a brother to me,” Garrett said. “The only one I have.”

Logan had two other brothers, and they were close. “We’ve been brothers since the first punch between us.” He twisted a dial on the dash, and all of the interior lights changed to more muted colors. “Which is probably why I should do this and you shouldn’t.”

There it was. Garrett had been waiting for Logan and his voice of reason. “Let me have it.”

“You’re heir to the throne. King of the Realm,” Logan said, twisting to look out the window at the white-capped mountains down below. “You can’t be one of the Seven as well as the king.”

Garrett made a flight adjustment and then leveled out. “Dage and Emma just had a kid. He can be king if Dage ever steps down.”

Logan shook his head. “You’ve been tapped, and you know it. The Realm doesn’t go by succession, not really, and you’re the heir. Have been since you almost had to take over during the last war. You feel it. You have to know it.”

That’s why his fucking shoulders always felt heavy. “Maybe, but it’ll be thousands of years in the future. I can do both. It’s called multitasking.”

Logan snorted. “Fine. The ritual is dangerous. One or both of us might not survive, and Hope needs protection. Somebody who knows what the hell is happening.”

“It feels right, Logan,” Garrett said, starting his descent to the field in Idaho. “When they were talking about the Seven and the duties. I sensed something, like I knew it already. Knew what it felt like to earn that marking.”

Logan let out a frustrated growl. “As did I. I also need to know what they were saying about my brother Sam. He’s always been a soldier and a badass. Destiny? I don’t think so.”

Garrett eyed the landing circle. “The only way we can be on the inside and protect everyone is to take part in the ritual. We’re stronger together, brother. Always have been and always will be.” He set the helicopter on the wet grass and quickly powered down.

Several buildings, surrounded the landing pod and private airstrip, sat dark in the night. The moon shone down, illuminating a powerful figure leaning against the closest building.

Garrett’s chest compressed. “Ah, fuck.” He removed his helmet and exited the copter as Logan did the same.

They moved forward, cut each other a look, and then kept walking.
