Zeus

I swagger up the grand hall in the stronghold. My booted feet echo on the wooden floor. Massive windows at the side let in the bluish-gray light of the day. The room is packed with alphas who belonged to Golan’s Council. I pass close to one of them, and he steps aside. When I turn to meet his gaze, he lowers his head. The stink of tension tightens the air, and the hair on the nape of my neck rises. They are afraid of me. Good. I sense their gaze following me, yet not one of them tries to stop me. The losers have come to watch the entertainment for today, provided courtesy of me. A low chuckle rips out of me.

I stride toward the platform at the front of the room.

Ethan moves forward as if to climb onto the dais alongside me.

I raise a hand.

He halts and wrinkles his forehead. “You know the protocol, Zeus.” His voice is cold. “As the interim second to Golan, I am supposed to introduce you to the Council and its associates.”

“Fuck that.” I keep my voice pleasant.

Ethan folds his arms over his chest and glares at me. “I see you dressed for the occasion.” His mouth purses.

“You sound like a repressed omega.” I run a finger around the collar of my vest, the one I’d worn on the streets, and which is stained with the blood and gore of many fights. “I am the General, not fucking royalty.”

“No danger of being mistaken for that.” His lips thin.

“I fight with my bare fists and take problems head-on. It’s how I plan to lead this city.” Well, when I am not running my inheritance into the ground, that is. “I’ll leave the politics to you. After all, you already dressed for that part.” I purposely survey his clothes. He wears a full three-piece suit, complete with a tie. Then I raise my gaze to his face.

He holds it for a second, then lowers his gaze.

Fucker is finally learning his place.

Striding past him, I spring up on the platform, then turn to survey the gathered alphas. I take in their faces one by one. As my gaze alights on each one, they either look away or bow their heads. Fuckers.

They all know exactly how I came to be here.

By now, the rumor mills must have spread the word, so they know what I am: an alpha who kills his own to seize power. There’s nothing as dangerous and as much of an aphrodisiac as a man who has no qualms.

The low hum of conversation quietens.

“I assume no one here is foolish enough to challenge my bid to claim the title of General?” My voice is low, yet it carries around the room.

The fear from the crowd is palpable. It rolls off them in waves, and I absorb it, thrive on it. I swagger to the very front of the platform and slap my chest. “Is there no one here who’d take on my claim and fight me for the title?” I crack my knuckles.
