As he fell to the ground in the exact spot where he’d plunged the same knife into me, the mark on my shoulder burned, my demon’s way of sayingwell done.

I watched as the life left Jax, and I knew exactly where he was going. The floor below limbo would serve him well for the next ten thousand years.

I smiled.

Mission completed.

The lesser stab wound on my leg would account for my blood present at the scene, and I traced my fingertips over it, feeling the warmth returning to my skin. I reached into my back pocket and found my phone before I dialed 911 and held it to my ear.

Screwing a demon to come back to life… Not what I had on my bingo card this week, but here we are…

“I need to report an incident,” I said. “My boyfriend tried to kill me.”

The bite mark on my shoulder throbbed, and I smiled.

But for now, I guess I’ve got some living to do.
