Chapter 167: Part 5

It was after one in the morning when a loud knock hammered against Dmitri's front door. He sensed the other vampire long before he heard the sound. This would be a study in diplomacy, but somehow the two needed to learn to work together. Dmitri was thankful Vorlyk mated a cat and not another vamp. He didn't think he could take two bloodsuckers in his territory. He reminded himself Vorlyk somehow worked things out with Amy and Marcus. If they could control their territorial desire to kill another vampire, then so could Dmitri. Hell, at least he hoped so.

He opened the door and bade the vampire enter.

Vorlyk's power was subdued slightly lower than their first meeting, but still oozed throughout the room.

"How much control do you have over your power?" A fine tremor ran beneath Dmitri's skin, and something needed to give or the effects of the alcohol would not have the desired outcome.
