“He’s in!” Sigmund gloated in old-speak as he landed beside the leader of the Slayers.

Boris noted the arrival of another incompetent. Sigmund was the scholar who should have brought him triumph, the son of the leader of the Pyr who should have been the Slayers ’

greatest asset.

Yet somehow wasn’t. Was Sigmund too much his father’s son?

Or was he a spy?

Boris pondered that possibility. He heard the banter between the two dragons inside the house and was slightly appeased. At least Donovan was trapped in the conservatory with Tyson. At least Tyson had cornered his opponent: Donovan was equally unable to summon assistance.

They would battle to the death in the old style.

Too bad Boris wasn’t certain that Tyson could win.

It was critical that Donovan, a formidable fighter, never transform himself into the Warrior.

Just a day ago, Boris had been sure that the Slayers’ triumph was secured, that having Alex be the human for this second firestorm was fortuitous beyond belief. He’d encouraged Tyson to go after Donovan, thinking it a good opportunity to hinder Donovan’s chances of victory.

But his confidence had proven to be premature.

Boris sighed. It was unfortunate that Tyson had so much in common with Everett, his dead and thickheaded student.

There was a crash and a hiss from inside the house, as well as the muted beep of another alarm being activated. Sigmund rubbed his claws together with glee, and only Boris’s lethal look kept the younger Slayer from commenting.

Doubtless he’d say something clever, maybe how he’d like to watch the fight. Boris had no interest in watching the fight. He had no interest in revealing his presence here too early. He simply wanted to know that Donovan Shea and Alex Madison were both dead. The unlikelihood of that and Tyson’s responsibility for stacking the odds against himself made Boris even more irritable.

Then he caught a whiff of something that put a sparkle in his eye. Terrified human. He sniffed again and smiled. Absolutely.

And even better, terrified human mate.

He spread his claw flat against the steel shutter, his smile broadening as he felt the heat of the firestorm. Alex was in the conservatory, as well, which tilted the odds in Tyson’s favor. On the other hand, Donovan would fight even more valiantly, given the presence of his mate.

They could finish it all this very night.

“I should like to have witnessed this fight,” Boris murmured, and Sigmund nodded with enthusiasm.

“Tyson will kill him, for sure. And then Donovan’s mate will be undefended. What do you plan to do with her?”

Boris thought immediately of a dozen equally horrible prospects. She had, after all, shot him.

“Ensure the failure of her Green Machine, first and foremost. Then, we’ll see.”

“We could fry her when she leaves the house. . . ,” Sigmund began.

“I prefer to use human nature against her. It makes for a more elegant and satisfying solution.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean hope defeated adds spice.” When Sigmund would have asked more questions, Boris held up a talon for silence. Hope. He scanned the property thoughtfully.
