" Kitana.I see you have brought your new playmate with you."

She slid her arm throughBryan 's and smiled up at him. "Yes. He pleases me very well."
"For how long, I wonder."

"For as long as I desire," she retorted, then turned her attention toTracy . "I wonder how soon you will tire of this one, now that she no longer resists you. It was always the chase that thrilled you."

"She is my wife now," Dominic said.

"Your wife!" Kitanaexclaimed, her eyes narrowing. "You married a mortal? Why?"

"My business is no longer your business," Dominic replied, his voice cool."Except where Petrina is concerned. Where is she hiding?"

"Surely you don't think I will tell you."
"She cannot hide from me forever." "Is this bit of ground worth fighting over?" "It is to me, but she has more to answer for than that."

Kitananodded. "She was wrong to attack you in such a cowardly fashion." "She paid for it. Zarabeth and Turk are no more."

" Petrinawill never forgive you for that."

Dominic snorted. "If not for Petrina , they would still be among us. She has no one to blame but herself."
"She does not see it that way."

He shrugged. "She does not worry me. But you do." "You have nothing to fear from me."

"And when I destroy Petrina ?" "I would rather you didn't."

"And when I do, will I have to fight you as well?"
Kitanashrugged. "Who can predict the future?"

"If you still have any power over her, tell her to leave this place. The next time we meet, I will destroy her."
