"What have you come to yell at me about now, Vivienne? As you can see, I am alone now so whoever told you I was with someone was lying to you. Or, have you come to yell about Theresa again? If that is the case, I am not in the mood for it," said Darius.

He had better things to do than speak about a dead woman. Why wasn't Vivienne getting tired of having these same old conversations?

"I am not here to speak about Theresa or to accuse you of being with anyone. I only came to speak about the mistresses you want to pick. I want a hand in selecting who it is," Vivienne said, finally getting his interest.

"Oh," Darius sat back. "This should be interesting. What caused you to go from being angry with me to now wanting a hand in it? If you are thinking of getting a few mixed-bloods so you can kill them when you want then go back to wherever you came from. I am getting purebloods."
