pack are
doing when in another’s territory.”
    His idiocy had to stop. “I am not a member of your pack,”
Troy replied. When Anthony straightened, Troy braced himself and continued. “I
appreciate the hospitality that you have shown me, but it is time that I go
home.”
    “And just where is home?” Anthony asked as he stood. The
pack members at his table all backed away from him and Troy. “Back with a
mother too scared to see that her true mate is a Wolf?”
    Troy raised an eyebrow as he seethed inside. “If you’re
smart, you won’t say another word about my mother.”
    Leigh stepped between the two. She didn’t want to deal with
any bloodshed. If Troy killed Anthony he wouldn’t be able to return to Madison.
“Anthony, please. We were just telling you where we’re going so you don’t worry
and try to look for us.”
    Anthony ignored her. “Maybe you would rather return to your
Necromancer,” he taunted. He saw the way Troy’s eyes glowed gold and smiled. “If she’ll still have you. I hear that she is constantly
surrounded by Vampires.”
    Just as Troy was about to lunge for Anthony, the entire club
fell silent. Sensing another predator entering their surroundings, Troy and
Anthony turned to see a tall black woman enter with two large men following
her. Troy's golden eyes widened as he recognized her. She was the woman in the picture
he had been given of Madison. The gasp at his side told him that Leigh knew who
she was too.
    “The Vampire Princess,” Anthony breathed. He then moved
around his table and past Troy. “Lady Dylan, it is an honor to see you again,”
he greeted quickly moving towards her.
    Dylan gave the Alpha a small smile as she glanced at one of
the guards behind her. “Hello Anthony,” she said pleasantly. She allowed him to
bow his head and kiss her hand as was custom. Her eyes searched the room, but
when her eyes settled on Troy, her gaze turned serious. “I need to talk to
you.”
    Troy stiffened for a moment. There was really only one
reason why she would be looking at him.
    “What’s wrong with her?” he asked.
    Dylan looked him over. Sloane had been right. He was
handsome. There was something in him that was a little wild, just like Madi liked them. “You need to see her,” she answered. She
then touched Antonio on his arm. “Give him the pictures,” she ordered softly.
    Troy could only frown as one of the large vampires stepped around
Anthony and gave him a small envelope.
    “Excuse my ignorance, my Lady, but anything you have to say
to my Wolf has to go through me.” He then shrugged when Dylan turned dark eyes
to him. “It’s part of our custom.”
    Dylan slowly inhaled as she looked around the club. Everyone
was watching her and she had promised that she wouldn’t do anything to
embarrass Crispin. An all-too-innocent smile crossed her face as she stepped
closer to the Wolf Alpha. “Last I checked Troy Davenport was a part of Dennis
Wolfe’s Pack. He was just out here to clear his head and think about the next
move he’ll take towards making an honest woman out of my sister.” Dylan stepped
closer to Anthony and felt her eyes start to take on a familiar glow. “Now, you
are going to step aside and let me have him, or I will bring this entire place
around your ears.”
    Anthony growled. He didn’t like being threatened. “I welcome
you into my city and this is how you repay me?” he asked outraged. “Victor
should have found a better diplomat.”
    Dylan waved her hand and watched as Anthony was thrown
across the club. With a snap of her fingers the wall around him easily wrapped
around his limbs and pinned him there. “Be thankful that I am the diplomat he sent,” she said loud enough for everyone to
hear. She then turned to Troy. “Like I said, you need to see her. I don’t care
if you put up a fight or not.”
    Troy slowly opened the envelope and looked inside. His eyes
widened as he saw pictures of Madison. She had let her hair grow, and it
