to me. When he comes to you again, put a team on him. I want to know his every whereabouts, do you understand? Keep your distance, I just want to know where he goes. You do that, and I might have a reward for you,” I said.
“You’ve got it, Boss.”
“Good. And Victor?”
“Yes, Boss?”
“Don’t ever keep anything from me again, do you understand?”
There was a pause where I heard him swallow. “Yes, Boss, I understand.”
I ended the call and told my driver to take me to Orion so I could check on my businesses. My tattoo was still burning as it healed, but I was too fucking pissed to care. “Son of a bitch,” I growled.
“We’ll catch the motherfucker, Boss, don’t worry,” Elliot said.
“Oh, I don’t doubt that. And when I do, he’s going to wish he was never born.”
Oh, Dante had done a number on my businesses. I visited all three and it was going to take months to rebuild. At least three million dollars in damages and loss, and I was still fuming over losing five wolves, one of them over a century old. The bomb literally blew them to pieces, body parts all over the place. That was how powerful the bomb had been. No way could I let this stand. I had to make an example out of Dante when I finally had his ass.
A few more days passed before I got a lead on Dante. As Victor has predicted, the fool came back for more money. I was going to close in on him tonight when he was together with his entire crew. I wanted to wipe them all out at once and broadcast their extremely painful executions. I was going over the plan with Elliot when there was a knock on my office door.
“Come in,” I called out.
The door opened and Horacio entered. Like me, he’d taken a liking to tattoos and piercings and had flames going down the side of his bald head, and a nose ring. He was as tall as Elliot was, maybe taller by an inch. Six-nine when he was wearing boots. Impressive and a badass motherfucker, packed and sealed. I’d put him in control of the reconstruction of my restaurant, because that had taken the most damage and I wanted it up and running as fast as possible and making me money again. It was one of my favorite places to eat, for fuck’s sake.
“I’ve got a message from the vampires, Boss,” Horacio said.
Well, now that was interesting. What in the fuck did the vampires want from or with me? “What do they want?”
“First off, I didn’t know they could walk around in the daytime. That shit blew my mind, Boss.”
“Was it Théoden?” I’d never met the vampire-dragon hybrid face-to-face. Seeing him on television was impressive enough, if I was honest. I also wouldn’t mind seeing his lips wrapped around my cock either. Those sexy gray eyes of his looking up at me as I shoot my load down his throat. A wolf could fantasize.
He shook his head. “No, it was two of his sons. The big motherfucker like me and the one he turned last week on TV.”
I had seen Théoden during the day one time when he was in Orion, so I knew he could, but I didn’t know about his sons. Interesting. I was learning more and more about what made him so powerful. I’d love to have that kind of power on my side. But what in the fuck did he want with me?
“What’s the message?”
“His messengers wouldn’t say. They just wanted to meet with you. I even told them I was your second in hopes of getting them to tell me, but they wouldn’t, Boss,” Horacio said.
Elliot laughed. “You told them you were me?”
Horacio shrugged with a smirk. “Didn’t think it would hurt, Sir.”
“I hope you don’t go around pretending to be me any other time,” Elliot said.
Horacio shook his head emphatically. “No, no, never, Sir.”
I heard their conversation, but I was more intrigued by this meeting Théoden wanted to have with me. “What else did they say?”
Horacio looked at me, his hazel eyes were pretty and almost unfitting for the rest of his look. “They said you could even name the place as long as it’s in Orion, Boss.” He walked over to me, handing me a white card. “He gave me this and said for you to call him when you have a place and time.”
I took the card from him and looked at it. Just a number, and one I didn’t recognize. I decided to wait a bit before I called the number. I wanted them to sweat it out wondering if I was going to accept the meeting. Théoden wanted it in Orion, but I was thinking about demanding he allow me into his territory. If he agreed, then that only meant he needs something from me so badly, he was willing to risk allowing wolves into his territory. With that much leverage, I had something to bargain with. As a matter of fact, I’d add even more pressure by cutting the time close. If Théoden also gave in to that, I’d know I had him right where I wanted him.
“I’ll call later and Horacio, you will be accompanying me along with Gray, Frederick, Tom, and Johan,” I said.
Horacio nodded. “Yes, Boss, I’ll get them ready.”
I nodded and he left, leaving me in the room with Elliot. My second smiled. “What are you planning Boss?”
“Me?”
He laughed. “Oh yeah, I see gears turning in that skull of yours, Boss.”
“Oh, nothing special. Just business as usual.”
He laughed harder. “Now, I know you have a plan, Boss.”
“Once I find out what this meeting is about, I will know what to do.” I looked at my watch, it was going to take five hours at least for me to get to Théoden’s home. Best hit the road now. Here I come, vampire… I hope you make it worth my while.
