Raina’s POV

Training, I learned quickly, was not some enlightened, meditative journey of self-discovery.

Training was hell.

The clearing the Makers brought me to was deep within the forest, shielded from the city lights and sound. The trees loomed like silent witnesses, their branches twisting overhead to seal us in. Mist curled around the ground, cold against my ankles, and the air held that same heavy, ancient weight I had felt when I met them.

Michael stood beside me, his presence calm but unrelenting. Lucien observed from several steps away, hands clasped neatly behind his back. Cassian lounged on a fallen tree with the ease of someone watching a show he already knew he’d enjoy.

“First lesson,” Michael said. “Control is not the absence of hunger. It’s the ability to hold it without letting it consume you.”

“I can do that,” I replied, my voice sounding calmer than I actually felt. “I've not attacked any of you how, have I?”

Lucien shook his head slowly. “And that's because somewher

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 102

    Raina’s POVI settled into the familiar meditation pose, knees crossed, palms resting lightly on my thighs. The forest clearing smelled of damp earth and pine, sunlight filtering through the dense canopy in thin, golden shafts. Michael was in the same pose beside me, his presence calm and quiet, while Lucien stood behind, hands clasped behind his back, eyes flicking from my posture to the trees beyond.Cassian, as usual, couldn’t stay still. He was feeding from a human lady clinging to him in a half-hug as he fed from her wrist. Beside them, the new younger vampire they’d brought as bait was tied to a tree, with a stake in his stomach, keeping him in place. Blood pooled from the injury, the scent drifting toward me in warm, metallic waves—but I didn’t move. Not even a twitch.Lucien’s voice drifted from behind me, collected but teasing. “You’re tense in the shoulders. Relax. Breathe. Spine straight, Raina. Chin level.”I inhaled, exhaled. “I’m fine,” I muttered, though I adjusted my p

    Liam’s POV“It’s been a month, Liam,” Ysra said quietly, her voice carrying a weight I didn’t want to hear. “No signs of Raina. No traces, nothing. Maybe it’s time to accept it. Time to let her go.”I didn’t look up from the files spread across the table. My jaw was tight, hands resting on the cold wood. “Make it make sense, Ysra,” I said, my voice controlled, but my mind churned with unrest. “Even though she’s a devourer, she's still human. She should’ve left a body, some trace of her. Burning always leaves residues. But there wasn't anything. Not even ash.”Ysra shook her head slowly, concern lining her delicate features. “Then it’s obvious she doesn’t want to be found. That’s a good thing. Everyone else thinks she’s dead. The clan isn’t rebelling anymore. They’re focused. You should focus, Liam—Slade is our immediate problem. Don’t let her—”“I know what she wants,” I interrupted, voice low, dangerous. I looked up, eyes piercing, calculating. “She’s trying to survive, but without h

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 99

    Raina’s POVI had faced death before, but this was nothing like the last time. No pain shot through me like when I’d been stabbed. My skin didn’t sting or burn as I had expected it would with the flames surrounding me. Instead, the fire felt colder somehow. The flames licked at me, but the only sensation I noticed was the chilling night air against my skin.I opened my tear-streaked eyes just in time to feel my legs lift from the ground. Strong arms wrapped around my shoulders and knees, lifting me clear of the fire. The heat roared behind me, but I didn’t have time to comprehend it—my chest heaved, lungs clawing for air, and my mind was still screaming, still half-convinced I’d already died.A scream tore through the night—deep, guttural, piercing. Not mine. Liam’s voice. And yet, even as I tried to focus, even as I reached out for him instinctively, the wind had me in its grasp. It carried me farther than I could have imagined, the flames shrinking behind me as the night air rushed

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 98

    Liam’s POVThe room was thick with tension, a suffocating weight pressing against my chest. Silas stood across from me, arms crossed, jaw tight, his gaze hard enough to show he was barely containing his rage. “So what’s the plan? How are we going to handle the devourer?”“No one's touching the devourer,” I said, running a hand down my face, trying to stay calm. “She's not the enemy. Not entirely.”Silas fangs flashed as he scowled, but he quickly concealed them back. “What do you mean she's not the enemy? She killed half your vampires, doesn't that mean anything to you?”“Of course it does. But she's not in control—”“All the more reason she's a danger,” he cut in. “I understand you both have some history, but she's unpredictable, Liam.”“I know. Still, no one touches her unless I give the order.”“And if we do otherwise?” he snarled, not bothering to hide the threat in his tone.I didn’t answer immediately. Instead, I let my eyes sweep over the room. Judy and Zade flanked me, each r

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 97

    Raina’s POVIt was me against an entire vampire clan, and I was winning.My claws carved through the air, slicing one vampire clean across the neck as he lunged at me. I spun, catching another by the shoulders and sinking my teeth into his throat before he could scream. Magic flared beneath my skin—my tattoos burning bright—unleashing a pulse that sent two others flying backward. They hit the ground hard and didn’t get up.They couldn’t hurt me. But I could hurt them. And God, was I enjoying it.“Why isn’t it working?” a voice shouted. Through the ringing in my ears, I recognized the desperate edge in Ysra’s tone. “Stop her, Liam! My spells aren’t working!”Their voices were noise—unimportant, distant. The only thing that mattered was the blood on my tongue, the bodies at my feet, the endless hunger roaring inside me like wildfire.Another blur rushed at me from my right. I reacted without thought, thrusting my hand forward, fingers piercing into a chest I expected to tear apart.“I–I
