it.
    “I’m sorry, but…” He leans in closer and stares at Tobias. “Are you the Untouchable ?”
    Tobias crosses his arms over his chest. “Not anymore,” he says.
    “Wow…” The man smiles and does a quick, cautionary glance around the parking lot. “I’m a big fan.”
    “You’re a fan ?” I ask.
    “I saw you take Alpha last July,” he says with wide eyes. “That fight was… legendary . Some of us thought you were dead for sure.”
    “It was just a scratch,” Tobias says. I roll my eyes at him.
    “I thought the Kings weren’t allowed to attend Alpha fights,” Amy says with narrow eyes.
    “We’re not,” the man whispers. He peels the black glove off his right hand and extends it out to Tobias. “I’m Ryan Weiss.”
    My eyes fall to the back of his hand. A small tattoo rests on the flesh between his index finger and his thumb; a golden crown, no larger than a quarter, with two bold X’s on the rim.
    Tobias gives him a quick handshake. “Tobias Eastwood.”
    “It was nice to meet you,” he says. “And you ladies, of course. I admire the work you Dames do.”
    Amy smirks his way. “You could get your ass kicked for this, couldn’t you?”
    “What’s the point of living if you don’t do it dangerously?” he replies.
    She steps forward and pulls the black card out of her bra again. “Well, give me a call if you want another adrenaline rush.”
    Ryan takes the card and his eyes scan it. “Amy Jones…” he says.
    “That’s me.”
    His eyes flick in my direction. “And you are?”
    “Claire Holloway,” I answer, much to Tobias’ silent objections.
    He palms the card and his lips curl. “He’s right, you know. This town really doesn’t like the Alphas.”
    “We’re leaving now,” Tobias says.
    “What?” Amy asks. “Are they jealous?”
    Ryan grins. “Maybe,” he says. “But if you ask me, they just take issue with having women in charge.”
    “Do you take issue with having women in charge?” she asks.
    “I prefer it, actually...”
    “Good.”
    Tobias and I exchange glances and he clears his throat. “We should get going, Amy…”
    “Stick to the main roads,” Ryan suggests. “You don’t want to get lost around here.”
    “We will,” Tobias says. He opens the car door and gestures Amy to get inside.
    She keeps her eyes on Ryan for a moment longer. “Thank you, Ryan,” she says, licking her lips. “See you around.”
    Ryan nods and walks away from the car while the rest of us pile in.
    “Absolutely not.”
    Amy turns around in her seat. “Excuse you?” she asks Tobias. She turns the key and the engine roars with life.
    “He’s a King , Amy,” he argues.
    “So what?”
    “You know what.”
    “First of all, you are not my father, or my boyfriend, so you have no right of opinion in anything I do. Secondly, I’m your Dame. I outrank you. So… you know… piss off.”
    I chuckle and glance back at Tobias. “I didn’t know there were other tournaments.”
    “None worth squawking about,” Amy says. She hits the gas and the tires squeal as we speed out of the parking lot.
    “But the Kings have a history of roughing up Dames,” Tobias points out.
    I look at Amy. “Is that true?”
    She shrugs. “A little.”
    “Why haven’t I heard of them before?” I ask.
    “Because they’re a bunch of backwater, misogynistic trash heaps,” she spits. “Legend has it, they were formed by one of Lillian’s jilted ex-lovers, but she’s neither confirmed nor denied the story. There was no point in mentioning them.”
    “Which makes Ryan even more suspicious, Amy,” Tobias points out. “He could be trying to get to you.”
    “You’re so paranoid, Toby,” she teases.
    “But he might not be wrong,” I say. “Do they all have that tattoo?”
    “The crown?” Amy asks.
    “Yeah, the crown.”
    “Only the ones that have won a fight.”
    I stare out my window.
    “What is it, Claire?” Tobias asks, sensing my pause. He leans forward in his seat and I
