Chapter Eight

Collette poured a deep red wine into a glass and let it breathe. Let herself breathe. Despite Darius’ concerns, she had been smart to follow and watch from the shadows as her team tested the man helping the O’Malley woman.

Turning a happy circle, she reveled in the shock and joy to have Gawain the Gallant here in the 21st century. Gawain was here, in the flesh. Not a reincarnation, not a mirage or trick of some talented sorcerer.

There was no mistaking him. Or better put, there was no mistaking the mystical energy pulsing off his splendid form. She’d returned to her chambers and confirmed it with Morgana’s personal notes. She didn’t know how he’d managed to survive. She didn’t care. The sinful potential simmering under his excellent body and golden face called to her to turn him to her cause. All of the risks had been worth it, to have caught a glimpse of the legendary man who’d nearly destroyed everything centuries ago.

Unlike Morgana, Collette didn’t hold his drastic actions against him. Of course, she had the benefit of time and perspective. At the time, the gallant knight thought he was doing the right and noble thing by siphoning the power and binding Morgana. He’d been brainwashed by his precious King Arthur to believe her ancestor had an evil agenda.

Gawain’s trouble was the same as Arthur’s, with that annoying, persistent faith and belief in the unimaginative values of loyalty and equality. Normal people weren’t capable of maintaining such a standard. Morgana had understood some people were stronger and better than others. The vast majority of people were sheep, willing to follow whoever promised security and peace with the least amount of effort.

She raised the glass to her lips and sipped the wine, soothing her rapid pulse. Gawain had dispatched the men she’d sent far too easily. While she’d assumed it would be three against one, the old knight had allies. His ever-present dog of course, but the O’Malley woman had proven more capable than she’d anticipated.

“I need the O’Malley family tree,” she said to the empty room. She would make a full study of them, as she’d studied every other piece in this vast puzzle. She would learn what they’d done to pull Gawain through time so quickly after she’d stolen the dagger. Then they would be flushed out and captured, every last one of them used to further the greater good. Her greater good.

At the knock at the door, she invited Darius inside. “Tell me everything.” She gestured for him to sit with her on the couch.

“The men are recovering quickly. They’ve said little so far, Collette.”

Her concern stretched only as far as when she might interrogate them. She hadn’t dared to go inside that tawdry pub until she knew what they were facing. “What spells were used against them?”

“None.”

She echoed the response into her wine. How odd that Gawain would not even attempt to fight with his strongest weapons. Unless his magic was no longer his strength. “I wonder what they saw?”

“When we arrived, he was drinking,” Darius said.
