“They ruled the world once. They’ll rule it again.”
He slapped his hand down on the railing, a buzzing sound erupted from his lips. “Wrong! Try again.”
“I’d rather not.”
“I insist.”
“I really insist I don’t.”
His lips twitched. “I’ll tell you.”
“No, thank you.”
“It’s the human women who make the humans more superior. Without them, no one exists. They are the common denominator between all three—shifters, mates, and humans.”
“What is the point to all of that?”
He winked. “Wait and see.”
“How about you go to hell? I’d like that.”
“How about we move onto what else I want from you since you have fulfilled my need for entertainment today? I’m moving on to my needs. Pay attention.”
The boat shot up hard on the wave, then crashed back down. I grabbed onto the railing to steady myself, he stumbled back against the crane, only just stopping himself from going over the side. I snickered, muttering, “Now,thatwas entertaining.”
He sniffed, staring down his nose at me. “I have two requests of you so listen up. First, I want you to give a message to Cassander, the silver fox who took my place.”
I narrowed my eyes at him. “What is it?”
“Tell him to leave my brother be. He’s not in pain. He’s not anything. Just leave the rock alone.”
“You don’t give a shit about your twin.”
“You’re right. I don’t. But if he moves that lava rock, then he’s going to awaken a beast that shouldn’t be woken.”
I blinked. “Does Theron know—”
“Of course, he does. But he also indulges his son too much. He loves him and shit.” His nose crinkled in disgust.
Another wave hit the side of the boat, salt water spraying into our faces. He wiped the water away. I left mine alone.
I stared, not understanding. “But why don’tyouwant that rock moved?”
“I don’t really care one way or another, but the vision has been playing so much in my head, I want it gone. I thought mentioning it to you would work for me.”
“Ah.” My lips thinned. “Now, that makes sense.”
“Will you tell him?”
“Maybe.”
Of course, I was going to tell. I’d tell everyone.
“That brings us to my second request.” His gaze ran over my features gradually. “This one you will probably enjoy.”
My eyes narrowed at his face. “What?”
He opened his mouth. His lips moved.
