They’re out there rejoicing with a killer in disguise and they don’t even know it. They locked me away and have just written off the threat who I know is watching their every move.

She’s wrong.

Zavia’s wrong.

And more importantly, Kira’s wrong.

Blood trickles down my temple and over my jaw.

I never would have killed Kyra.

No more than I could have killed Kira.

Kyra was my responsibility. She asked for my help and I gave it.

And Kira…

She—she’s my biggest threat. She could get me killed like I’ve seen so many before me die swift and fast.

All because they thought with their heart instead of their fucking brain.

My lashes fall and I spot the mark just beneath the heavy lines of tattoos. A red splatter of a letter just beneath the old tattoos can be almost seen. Her letter.

It’s such an enchanting mark of magic that it set my heart on fire since the moment it appeared. The moment I laid eyes on her in that shitty little apartment it burned into me like an awakening.

Now I’m hers.

The blood splatter K imprinted on my chest says it all.

And I’ll reject that secret until the day I die.
