“Thank you,” I whispered, knowing Lucifer was never far and probably checked in more often than I wanted. “You were right. The shadows, the whispers, the roars, my Reaper—it was my fate, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Merry Christmas, you devilish bastard.”
In the whispers and shadows, I heard a chuckle.
Merry festivities, Wyatt, born of shadows.
