KAI POV I swear the Gods up there must have been laughing their celestial asses off at me. Because what else explained this circus? Oh, they were having the time of their immortal lives, placing bets on how long it would take before someone flipped the damn table. I could see it in the smug twitch of my brothers’ mouths, the way my fathers leaned back in their chairs like they were freaking kings on their thrones. Calm? Please. They radiated predator energy, and it was all directed at my mates. Like they’d all decided tonight was "Let’s Terrify Kai’s Partners into Submission" night. Hilarious. Real fun. And the best part? My one supposed ally—the rational, level-headed Kingsley—was glaring too. Yep. Even he had gone rogue, basically snarling at me across the table. Great. Just great.
