Jericho Kane froze in place for a heartbeat, then burst into harsh laughter.

"You've got a lot of nerve talking to me like that," he growled.

Alex just smiled and flipped a small platinum badge through the aft

Jericho snatched it, then felt his pulse spike the moment he recognized the symbol: the Kignswell, the secret task force working directly under the new King.

"The Hunting Dogs of the King."

"Mind your tongue," Alex said, stepping forward with a confidence that matched Jericho's icy arrogance.

"The King has had enough of you. You think Vermont is yours just because your father-in-law was the old king? It's time to return the state to its rightful ruler."

Jericho bared his teeth.

"Never. The people voted for me to govern this place-nobody's gonna change that!"

"You? You're just another fool who thinks he's the hero. All I have to do is end you here and now. Nobody will even know."

Alex's easy grin didn't waver.

"Kill me? You really think you can pull that off?"

"You're a pup," Jericho shot back.

"Just because you have some internal energy, you think you're untouchable? I was mastering it before you were even born!"

He inhaled sharply, channeling his power, and unleashed a fierce energy blast.

"How dare you show off your tricks in front of a real expert? Die!"

It tore the night apart, sizzling toward Alex, who raised a hand to block.

The collision thundered across the rooftop.

Alex skidded back a dozen feet, boots scraping deep lines into the concrete. Jericho snorted.

"Pathetic. I expected a real challenge, not someone who can't handle a single hit."

He closed in, voice dripping contempt.

"Now, you know who I am, so let's cut to the chase. Kneel and beg. Maybe I'll spare your life."

Despite Jericho's bravado, a dread coiled in his gut.

He knew the truth about the Kingswell.
