“You should not have done that.” Dru paced the room, his Drake roaring within him, angry at the perceived danger to the female he wanted to claim as a mate.

But Annie refused to look chastened or remorseful. She lifted her chin and frowned at him.

“You shouldn’t have given him a living thing! How could you possibly think of letting him kill this poor little guy?”

She held up her palm where the tiny canine frisked and played, barking with high, almost inaudible joy.

“I did not know it was a real canine,” Dru growled, frowning down at her. “I thought it was some clever kind of toy. But regardless of its status, you should have let Slo’vv have it! Now that he has gifted it to you, you are in his debt.”

“In his debt?” Annie shivered, looking worried for the first time. “How…what am I supposed to do to pay him?” She made a face. “Nothing sexual, I hope. Because I’ll be your x’aan-chow and follow you around like a good little kitty but there are limits.”

“I will have to try and find him another gift to erase the one you owe him.” Dru sighed, making a mental inventory of the items he had left. He had given the best ones to the Shadow-Demon already and he wasn’t certain if anything that remained would suffice. After all, what could be equal to Annie’s curvy, goddess-kissed beauty?

“Well maybe we won’t be here long enough for him to demand another gift,” she suggested hopefully, breaking his train of thought. “After all, we’re just trying to find out about that Zar’ren guy right—about what he has planned for the Mother Ship?”

“Yes, but that is easier said than done,” Dru pointed out darkly. “Zar’ren is notoriously tight-lipped until he is ready to reveal himself.”

“I bet I can get at least some information from his x’aan-chows,” Annie said thoughtfully. “Aren’t we going to dinner in a few minutes?”

Dru nodded. “We are.”

“I’ll see if I can talk to them then. Remember, I’m your man on the ground. Or your woman on the ground, I guess.” She smiled at him and then looked thoughtful. “You know, speaking of getting information, there’s something strange about the girls Zar’ren brought with him. Especially the little one—that Tatti.”

Dru scowled. “I know it might seem strange and heartless for him to bring a virgin and invite others to despoil her but I assure you, Zar’ren is capable of that and many other cruelties.”

“Yes, that’s awful,” Annie agreed. “But there’s something strange about Tatti—something I can’t quite put my finger on. She—”

Just then a huge gonging sound reverberated through the entire Shadow Palace and they both jumped.

“Oh my God!” Annie pressed a hand to her chest. “What in the world?”

“That’s simply the summons to Last Meal—or dinner as they call it here,” Dru explained. “Come—put your tiny canine back in his shell. Food and drink are provided by the nut that houses him and too much time spent outside it will weaken him.”
