have done something wrong. "Well, yeah, but then I called Ash myself and he corroborated it."
    Good boy that he hadn't taken the man's word. "Did Ash say anything else?"
    "Just to trust Alexion."
    Yeah, right. Like she'd trust an agitated cobra at her bare feet.
    Danger sheathed her dagger before she addressed Alexion again. "Well, it appears I spoke too soon. I was checking into the Rogue thing myself tonight and everything's fine so you can feel free to return to Ash now."
    Alexion's dark eyes narrowed on her. "Why are you lying to me?"
    "I'm not lying."
    He dipped his head so that he could speak in a low tone just for her hearing. His nearness was disturbing and intense. It actually raised chills over her body as his breath fell against her skin. "For the record, Dangereuse, I can smell a lie from nine miles off."
    She looked up to see the deep curiosity in those… She frowned. No longer black, his eyes had turned to a peculiar hazel green that practically glowed.
    Just what the hell was he?
    Alexion pinned her with a fierce stare he no doubt hoped would intimidate her. It wasn't working. Danger refused to be intimidated by anyone or anything. She lived her immortality just as she had lived her human life and it would take more than this… person to make her shiver in fear. The worst thing he could do was kill her, and since she was already dead…
    Well, there were worse things, she supposed.
    When he spoke again, his voice was scarcely more than a primal growl. "My only real question is, why would you protect your Rogue?"
    She moved away without answering. "Keller? Can I have a word with you in private?"
    Alexion gave a short laugh at that. "I will leave the two of you alone so that you can tell him just how unhappy you are that he let me in." He headed for the hallway that led to the guest rooms.
    Danger ground her teeth.
Don't tell me Keller already set him up in my house
!
    He should know better than that. How could he do such a thing without consulting her?
That's it, he's toast, and I mean it this time
.
    She waited until she was sure Alexion had left them alone and lowered her voice so that he couldn't overhear them. "What the hell happened tonight? You look like someone beat you."
    "They did. I ran into a group of Daimons, and when I told them to back off, they said they were untouchable now. They said that they were working with the Dark-Hunters and that if they wanted to eat a Squire, that was fine."
    Anger whipped through her that they would dare to beat her Squire. "They attacked you?"
    He gave her a snide look. "No, I beat my own self up. What do you think?"
    She ignored his sarcasm as she realized why the plasma TV hadn't been blaring when she came in. It was shattered.
    "What happened to the TV?"
    Keller looked at it and shrugged. "I don't know. Alexion doesn't say much, so I was flipping channels after we got back so that there'd be some noise in the house. Everything was fine until I paused on QVC to see this cool camcorder they were advertising, and the next thing I knew, it blew up. I'm not sure if it was the TV or if Alexion has a thing against QVC."
    Thank the Lord and his saints that her Squire hadn't blown up as well.
    "And where did Alexion just head off to?" she asked.
    "I put him in the guest suite that you said Ash uses whenever he visits."
    She clenched her fist to keep from choking him. "I see."
    He gave her a worried frown. "I didn't do anything wrong, did I? I thought I was doing what you'd want me to do. You weren't here so I could ask you. Are you mad at me?"
    Yes, but she didn't want to get into it with him. If he stayed ignorant of all this, maybe Alexion would spare him.
    Either way, she refused to put Keller in any danger. Unlike her, he was mortal with a family who loved him dearly.
    "You're fine, sweetie. Why don't you head on home before it gets any later?"
    Luckily her Squire didn't argue and he was too dense to recognize the slight tremor of fear for him in her voice. In case
