He was being a jackass, and he knew it. It wasn’t Lusahn’s fault that he had questions he needed to ask, and she likely had answers he didn’t want to hear. He’d crossed the barrier telling himself that Barak’s sister deserved better than a hastily scrawled note to tell her why her brother wasn’t coming.

The reality was that he had acted on impulse, wanting to see if the Other female was as striking as he’d remembered. She was beautiful, all right—but she was so much more than that. Worse yet, her people weren’t monsters but a group of individuals, some good, some bad, the same as their cousins in his world.

His belief system had been shaken to the core, the burden of all the Others he’d killed weighing him down. Even if he was innocent of the deaths of Bavi’s parents, he was guilty of so many more.

He shoved all that shit to the back of his mind, where it wouldn’t cloud his thinking. He hadn’t seen any sign that they were being followed, but neither of them knew what they might walk into when they reached the caves. He hoped Lusahn would be content with another quick walk-through, because he had a bad feeling about that place. Some of the tracks had looked older, which meant whoever it was had made more than one trip into this world.

Lusahn felt confident that the barrier was stable for the time being, but she’d also admitted that her ability to read it wasn’t as strong as her brother’s. If she was wrong they could be walking into a hornet’s nest, armed only with swords to face an enemy who could be carrying automatic weapons. Blades were effective only when the fighting was up close.

Bullets could kill from a distance, which meant he and Lusahn were already vulnerable to attack. He wanted to shove her to safety behind the cluster of boulders they just passed and go on alone—like she’d let him get away with that! Knowing her, she’d try to shove him behind the boulders instead. It was taking some mental adjustments to get used to having a female partner, but eyeing her long-legged gait with pleasure, he had to admit that there were some definite perks.

He recognized the bend in the trail up ahead. They were almost exactly where he’d tackled Larem the day before, and he looked back down the trail again to make sure there was no one in sight.

“I think we’re alone this time.” Lusahn scanned the trail, both above and below. “I think one of us would have caught sight of anyone following.”

“Maybe, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a surprise party waiting for us in the caves.” He drew his sword. “Let me go first to check things out.”

“Why you?” Her sword was drawn, too.

“Because you know the area better than I do, and can circle around from another direction without drawing as much attention.”

She wasn’t buying it, not for a second. “You can’t stand between me and danger, Cullen.
