101 " Kate, don’t think that it’s you against him. That’s how you talk about it, but it’s not true. He’s by himself, but you have all of us. We’re in it together and we’ll stand against him together. You have a lot of goodwill in this city.”“Thanks, Jim.” That was unexpected.“And if you ever turn into your father and feed on this city like a leech, I will kill you.”Really? Not even in your wildest dreams. “If I ever turn into my father, you will kneel and pledge yourself to me, Jim. And you will be happy doing it.”His expression turned flat.I winked at him, got up, and left. That wasn’t the smartest thing to say, but I was getting sick of people threatening me and he had no room to talk. Let him chew on that reality check. "

102 " You and Jim are two idiots. Maybe you should marry each other. You can rule the Pack together.”“Why the hell would you do this to me?”“Because you deserved it. Jim came to you with this nonsense and you got all concerned.”“I told Jim to go to hell. I also told him that if he ever told me that my wife is a ‘potential threat’ again, I would become a real and immediate threat.” I laughed and opened my arms. “My hero.”“You’re an asshole,” he told me.“You knew that before you asked me to marry you. What, no hug?”“You know how paranoid Jim is. You know what he does to potential threats. He is proactive. Why did you have to screw with him?”“Because he sat there, all self-important, and announced that he would kill me if I stepped out of his lines. Hey, I winked after I said it. It’s not my fault he has no sense of humor. "
103 " I’m not going anywhere. Besides, hell is when you and I are at our best. "
