Chapter 7

Zoe helped Nick onto the sofa after they had transported back through the ley lines. “Why did you ask me to leave?” she grumbled.

She’d been so excited about finally taking the lead on the case, but just when she’d thought he’d taken her seriously. Both as a guardian and a partner, he’d barged in to rescue her when she’d had things under control.

Nick slumped against the sofa, still looking pale. “Because Devlin isn’t like any of the other things you’ve faced so far. You’re lucky your curse protected you, that was a huge gamble.”

Despite what had happened, she couldn’t keep the grin off her face. “I got his attention though, didn’t I?” She sipped at a cup of tea.

“You were hard not to notice up there, flashing magic around,” he complained. “When I said get his attention, I didn’t mean for you to use magic in front of him and the entire club.”

Killjoy. Come on, why don’t you just admit you noticed me? I was dancing for you up there. Not Devlin, she thought.

“You told me to get his attention, and I did. The people there won’t know I’m a guardian, and there was no exposure risk because all the people in there were magical, anyway.” She sat beside him, touching his shoulder. “Are you okay?”

“I’ll be fine. You saved me before he took too much life force.”

“See, we do make a good team,” she said. “Why did you run in, though? I had him, I could have handled him.”

Nick sighed. “Maybe.” He shook his head. “It’s my job to keep you safe.”

Zoe scowled. “Is that all I am to you? Someone you need to protect?” She couldn’t deny she liked having him around, liked sleeping next to him. Maybe even liked him as more than just a friend.

“Of course not. You know that,” Nick said, squeezing her hand.

“Good, then you need to trust me to take care of myself on cases,” she said. “Why can’t we just banish Devlin?” She sipped more of her tea as she waited for an answer.

“He’s too powerful, he’d only find his way back into this world again.”

She paused. “What do you think he meant by the darkness in me? Am I a dark fey?”

“Everyone has darkness in them. It doesn’t make you evil or bad,” he said. “We’ll keep an eye on him, but he’s not the one we’re looking for.”

“Are you gonna teach me mind-reading?” She gave him a hopeful look. She’d been wanting to learn for weeks now, but he refused.

Nick laughed. “Soon. You’re getting through your training fast—soon you won’t need me anymore.”

“I’ll always need you,” she blurted without meaning to. “I-I mean with all the freakish stuff that happens around me, who else is gonna be there to back me up?” She rose quickly. “I’m going to Sabine’s. Night.”

“I’ll sleep in the spare room tonight. Call me if you need me.”

She headed to the stairs.

“You look beautiful. Every bloke in the club noticed,” he called after her.

Yeah, but you’re the only one I wanted to notice, she thought.
