*Marcus Langdon*
"Did you really try to have him killed?" I ask as I pace in front of the fireplace.
"It seemed the most efficient way to achieve my ends."
I shake my head, "But as I explained, I want to go through the courts. I want everything legal."
"That could take years."
"I want there to be no doubt that I am the true Alpha of Claybourne." I say.
"There's no doubt now. All of Blackrock city knows he is an imposter."
I despise the calm voice, the absolute absence of emotion.
"I don't want to be party to this." I say.
"It's far too late to have misgivings now."
I shake my head again.
"Why do I have such qualms? He murdered your father."
"That was never proven." I point out.
"He has never denied it."
"Quite honestly, he doesn't seem like a killer." I mumble.
