Chapter 14.4

"Is that how you speak to your superiors?" the King demands as soon as he takes the phone. "Your King wouldn't deny me your head. Just ask Calvin Redwood,"

"I am no longer alpha of the city, Perry. You know that," he huffs. I love the way he said my name like it's a really bad slur.

"Right, but she's your daughter and I'm not there to see her. I need to speak with you. Directly,"

"When?"

"Can we do it tomorrow at noon? You pick the place. Somewhere not too public. I'm supposed to be dead,"
