Book 1: I'm the King of the World

Lex

I am a fool.

Everyone knows that. In fact, it’s quite the topic of discussion at court. It’s a joke, really. Kane is the serious, responsible brother, and then there’s Lex, the playful, irresponsible, woman—or is it man—chasing whore who will never be able to accomplish anything of significance in his life no matter how many centuries he may last.

Yes, it’s all something to chuckle over while sipping sherry and wondering about the weather.

The possibility of Luther Alexander doing something foolish is almost as certain as a chance of rain at the castle. Both things happen nearly every day.

So… it shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone that I did something that was likely to get me into trouble or get me killed. I didn’t find it surprising at all when I pulled my sports car to a stop outside of the massive gates of the Maxwell castle later that same day that Kane had come to me to say that I’d fucked up for real this time.
