His demise had to be by our hands.

Levi must’ve sensed it from me, because he looked out at me.

I gave a nod.

And then he turned back to a violently bucking and freaking out Lynch, and pulled the trigger.

Blood and brain matter exploded everywhere as the demon died right before our eyes.

Gone.

Defeated.

Fucking over.

A choked sound left me.

After all this time, I couldn’t believe it.

It was done.

Emotion took me over so quickly that I couldn’t get a handle on it.

Tears were streaming down my face in the next moment and I was sobbing hard.

Colt tightened his hold around me, uttering words of comfort.

And then Levi and Mason were also there quickly wrapping themselves around me.

In that moment, I’d never felt so safe and loved.

I’ve never felt such peace.

One Month Later

God, he was so sexy.

And he was really in his element, rocking out, putting his charisma and his heart and soul out there for all to see.

So bold and brave.

So kicking major ass for the record execs that were here tonight for his performance.

Mythic Cry was killing it!

I watched from backstage of the trendy club as he worked the crowd to his will. He was a natural front man, right up there with the greats. People couldn’t take their attention away from him for a moment when he was performing.

And it was going to finally pay off for him in the best way.

Levi and Mason had their arms draped over each of my shoulders as we looked on watching Colt do his thing and bring absolutely everything he had to the table.

He’d had a ritual before performing of kissing each one of the tuning pegs of his guitar, but we’d accidentally added another tonight.

Me, Levi and Mason had just intended it as a one-off to help get Colt into a calm state because he’d been unusually nervous as the stakes were high tonight, something he wasn’t used to with his music. But then he’d claimed it was now going to be an actual ritual—the four of us fucking in his dressing room.
