Chapter 68

“I was fucking Tielle when she got killed. And I almost mean that literally. We’d been screwing around on the side, and I was at her house, and…she got attacked. A demon I’d never seen before broke into the house. It pulled me off her, killed her, then turned on me. By the time I tore out its throat, I was bleeding from more holes in my body than I’d ever had before. I didn’t even make it to the front door before passing out. John found me and fixed me up.” He turned his head and met Jesse’s steady eyes. “I don’t know how he did it, but he claimed it was dimensional magic that did the trick. And that if we worked together, we could figure out how to channel it for ourselves so we never had to worry about dying again. I didn’t even hesitate to throw in with the idea.”

Jesse swallowed hard, the color draining from his face. “Gideon…you’re already immortal. What did he tell you? That you would be invulnerable?”
