Jim turned to Nathan and smiled wearily. “I did it, Nathan.”
“Yeah, I know…you stopped yourself.”
“No.” Jim shook his head. His smile widened. “I banished them all.” 50
Jim and Sasha made it plain as soon as they were both on their feet and capable of walking that they needed to get away from the mine as soon as possible. There wasn’t time for apologies or explanations, which Nathan couldn’t have been more thankful for right then; they had to get back to Iain, get clear of the mine, and tell that poor bastard waiting for them that his mother wouldn’t be coming home.
If Nathan really was free of his mark, there would be time to celebrate later.
They couldn’t just leave the mine as it was though, not with the pull it would still have on anyone with strong enough fae blood. There was also the body of Iain’s mother lying inside that larger cavern.
