Guards were waiting to receive Luke at the back door of Myrkheimr, radiating with danger. They weren’t armed, but that was the thing about sidhe. They didn’t need to carry weapons in order to kill. Their magic was most potent of all the gaean species.

The glow of warmth in Konig’s violet eyes had faded as soon as he’d left Marion at the range. Now he glared at Luke with open mistrust. “Make sure the doctor gets home safely,” the prince said to his guards. “All the way home, far from the ley lines.”

“Yeah, you never know when I might suddenly acquire the sidhe power of being able to jump ley lines,” Luke said. “You’d better blindfold me and spin me in a circle three times before pushing me through, too.”

“You think you’re funny, don’t you?”

Luke knew better than to poke at him. But there was a pretty significant difference between “knowing better” and “being capable of resisting.”

“You’ll have to ask Marion what she thinks of me,” Luke said.

Konig went very, very still, as though he’d turned into one of the numerous portraits hanging in the halls of Myrkheimr.

“It’s strange,” he said. “I feel like I should recognize you. It’s as though we’ve met before.”

“I’ve got one of those faces. And you were in my hospital hunting down Marion. But it’s probably a ‘one of those faces’ kind of thing.”

“Hunting her down. You say that like we’re among her assassins.”

Luke just looked at him. He wanted to ask, Are you?

Konig plucked at Luke’s collar, arranging it over his shoulder. “How do I know you’re not responsible for Marion’s loss of memory? Seems weird that someone she just met—a total stranger—would go to such lengths to protect her. Weirder still that you’d go into the Middle Worlds with her.”

“You’ve met Marion before, right?” Luke asked. “She’s convincing.”

“Men tend to find her incredibly charming.” He bit the words out.

Luke had to laugh at the obvious jealousy. He wasn’t interested in fighting over Marion or anyone else—not that Konig was likely to believe Luke if he tried to say that. “Trust me, I just want to get back to life,” Luke said. “You don’t have to get me away from the ley lines. I’d settle for being escorted back to my pickup. Hopefully I won’t ever have to bother you again.”

“Hopefully?” Konig stepped forward until his chest almost bumped Luke’s.

The prince was much taller than the doctor; he had to tilt his head down to glare at Luke. But Konig wasn’t as tall as Luke’s brother. Luke had grown up fighting men well over six feet tall, and he wasn’t intimidated by the idea of fighting another one.

Even a sidhe prince.

Especially if it turned out that Oliver Machado’s magic had, in fact, come from the Autumn Court.

“If I see you again,” Konig said in a low voice, “I’ll make sure that it happens when there are no witnesses. I won’t let you hurt Marion.” He stepped back and raised his voice. “Take him away.
