There’s too much at stake to allow myself to be influenced or for him to stand in my way. There’s one thing Kieran didn’t count on, though. He’s an egotistical maniac with a secret agenda and a psychotic need to possess and control me. The transition should have gone smoothly, and it would have if Kieran Knight hadn’t shown up. The moment I took control, everything began to unravel around me. When the unthinkable happened, my father was taken, and I was forced to step up. I’d trained my entire life to take over the hunter guild. ![]() ![]() At one time Destroyer gets a hold of Mjolnir and Thor has to fight to get it back.
