I let the Viking take one of those under my protection. I did what was right, to protect the most important thing, my mate.
I bend my knees, take my stance in the courtyard outside the house.
Ahead, Dom waits at the edge of the makeshift arena. It's demarcated by the circle that Ethan drew in the dirt, not that it matters. The mood that Dom is in? No way is he going to stick to any rules.
I don't blame him.
If I had been in his position and it had been my daughter whoâd chosen to barter herself for my freedom⦠Sweat beads my palms.
It nearly had been Cara, there in that prison, when weâd been locked up.
Sheâd come so close to being in danger, again. I had seized the first opportunity to get away, knowing it was a trap and that Iâd have to pay a price for it. Except I hadnât expected Lisa to step in to save the situation.
"Our debts are square, Dom."
"Fuck you." He slaps his chest. "If you think I am going to let you live after what happened earlierâ"
"You can and you will. You are well aware that Lisa chose that path because she wanted control of her own fate. There was no other way out."
Zeus scratches his chin. "You guys gonna fight or what?"
I glower at him.
Fucker came out of this smelling sweet, with nothing to taint him. Now he has the gall to seem bored? He shifts his weight from foot to foot.
Yeah, he wants to return to his omega, no doubt. Too fucking bad. Heâll have to wait his turn for his shot at marital bliss, if I have any say in it.
"Stay out of this." I snarl.
He spreads his arms, "I am but a spectator."
"I wonder why?" I crack my knuckles. "Not your style, half-bro. You prefer to own the spotlight."
"Not always." His mouth curls. "You forget that I am the more prudent of the two of us. Sometimes I am happy to withdraw and give up the stageâ¦" He gestures toward me.
I growl, "Why donât I trust a word of what you say?"
"Why do I think that you are getting cold feet?" He turns to Dom, "Seems, my ass wipe of a brother doesnât want to fight you. Heâs afraid heâs going to lose."
Ethan swears from the sidelines. "Fuck off, Z."
"Happy to oblige." Zeus ambles away, drops down onto a tree stump, "This is me being very patient. And waiting to see who kills the other first. Less shit for me to deal with later, you get me?"
The hair on my nape prickles. Nope, not like him at all. All of this was some kind of crazy, elaborate plan hitched by my asshole of a sibling. Why would he do that? "Is this some elaborate plan to distract the Vikings? To get them off the shores of your city with minimum collateral damage, perhaps?"
Zeus smirks, "You give me too much credit."
Domâs face darkens, "The fuck you calling collateral damage?"
"Not me," Zeus stabs his finger at Kai, "him.
