“Nick curled his lip in obvious hatred. "I'm not going anywhere with him. I'd rather be dead." Urian forced Nick to look down at Satara's body. “I’m going to make the wildly unfounded assumption that Satara’s dead by your hand and not Tory’s." Gripping Nick's chin, he forced him to meet his gaze. "Now, stay with me on this, Cajun. My father slit my throat and murdered my wife because he thought I’d betrayed him by getting married. Before that, he loved me more than his life and I was his last surviving child. His second in command. Now what do you think he’s going to do to you once he sees her body? I can assure you, it won’t be a fun-filled trip to Chuck E. Cheese. For all their animosity toward each other, Satara is his sister and she's served him well over the centuries. If you really want to stay here and have some fun with Stryker, I won't stop you. But I really wouldn't recommend it.”
