And maybe, just maybe, if I weren’t so in my head, I’d have noticed the man tucked against the building in the shadows, watching my every move with malice in his eyes.

Odin
“It’s time, Sir.”
Without taking my eyes off the pretty woman on the screen, I nod. Kára has been hounding me for several lifetimes to do the right thing, the honorable thing, and up until now, I’ve always found a reason to wait.
The timing wasn’t right, his frame of mind was off, I needed him here in Valhalla.
Viking has made no secret of the fact that he isn’t my biggest fan, and I get it. He feels betrayed and doesn’t understand that everything I do, I do for a reason.
Being a God isn’t easy, and it sometimes comes with making unpopular decisions. I’ve accepted that burden, embraced it really. But the best warrior I’ve ever had will likely start a mutiny if I don’t act soon, especially now that he’s got a full club of brothers at his side.
“Go rally the Valkyries,” I order Kára. “It’s going to take a lot of power to get them all to the human world.”
Her body shimmers before she disappears, no doubt to do my bidding.
For a long time, I thought Viking and Kára would hook up. It happens a lot between a Valkyrie and the warriors they usher into the heavens, but they’ve never been more than great friends.
Because he’s holding onto hope.
Sighing, I move to the chambers outside my office and begin calling for a man I’m going to make very happy.

Viking
“Odin’s looking for you.”
I set the half-eaten boar leg on the long wooden table and turn around to see Demo, our Road Captain, striding through the grand entrance of the Mess Hall. He’s naked, and his hair is a mess which tells me he was with Mist before he was summoned to track me down.
“Been here all morning.”
With zero shame, Demo scratches himself before slinging his leg over the bench and sitting next to me.
“Is there a reason I had to sacrifice my pleasure to track your ass down for him?”
I arch a brow. “Watch your tone, Demo,” I snarl. “I outrank you.”
Demo, short for Demolition, is the newest member of VRMC and the youngest brother. He’s got an insatiable appetite for sex and unless he’s doing work for the club, he can be found in one bed or another.
And seventy-five percent of his time is spent unclothed.
“Gimme a break, Viking,” he mutters. “I was balls deep in Mist when the old man’s voice boomed in my skull. Talk about a boner killer.”
“How have you not fucked your dick off yet?”
“It’s a talent.” Demo grins as he gets to his feet and strokes his cock. “Please go see what Odin wants so I can finish what I started.”
With those words, he retreats the way he came. It’s still early in the day, so I’m the only one in the Mess Hall. I quickly finish my meal and then go in search of my leader.
“Where the fire pits have you been?” Odin demands when I step through the door to his daily chamber.
“In the Mess Hall.”
“Did you not hear me calling?”
