Raina’s POV

I kept staring, twisting my head at different angles, pressing my fingers against the skin where the bite should have been. My pulse hammered. It had been there. I had felt it—raw, aching.

Now, nothing.

Sheriff Grant was still watching me, his expression shifting from frustration to concern. His fingers drummed against the steering wheel. “Raina, you wanna explain what's going on?”

I forced myself to breathe, but every inhale felt too shallow, like my lungs had forgotten how to work. “I…I don't know.”

Sheriff Grant sighed as he lifted a hand to his forehead. “Raina”

“Mmm," I answered absentmindedly, too focused on trying to make sense of how a bite could simply vanish to fully register what the sheriff was saying.

“I can see you're hardly listening to a word I'm saying, but Raina, you're like a daughter to me and that's why I'm saying this—” he paused looking me in the eye till he was sure he had gotten my attention. “Stop digging.”

“You don't underst—”

“Don't.” He held up

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 33

    Liam's POV“It’s my fault. All of it,” I muttered, draining the last of the whiskey down my throat.I welcomed the burn, the cool, numbing slap of alcohol against my tongue. But it did nothing to erase the grotesque image burned into my mind—the sheriff’s wife, torn apart like some animal carcass left for show.The creature hadn’t just killed her. It had desecrated her. Her throat had been torn open, one eye missing, the remaining one wide and frozen in terror. Her face had been shredded like wet paper—barely human anymore. But that wasn’t the part that stuck with me the most.It was the Sheriff’s scream.A grown man, someone who’d probably seen his fair share of blood and gore in his line of duty, had dropped to his knees in complete ruin. The sound he made… I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. Grief had consumed him in one loud, broken cry that pierced right through me. He didn’t even notice his teenage daughter standing behind him, frozen on the porch, staring at what used to be her

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 32

    RAINA'S POV“Let me get this straight,” Nina said, holding up her hand to my face. “You were watching what happened to Mel from her perspective? Is that why you said ‘I can explain?’”I nodded. Nina bit her lip, shaking her head. “That's some next-level voodoo, sis.”I couldn’t agree more. It hadn’t felt like a vision—it felt like I was her. I'd felt Mel’s pain, her terror, the helplessness as she pleaded with Liam’s brother.“Are you sure you don't want to tell your uncle ‘bout all this supernatural stuff?”I shot her a look. She was making me regret my decision to always tell her everything. Even though she'd been there, she somehow found it hard to believe when I told her what I'd seen.“Hey, don't look at me like that.”“You're giving me no options.”“Okay, calm down. Think of it this way—your uncle is an elder in this town. If anyone should know about these things it'll be him.”“The hell Nina? What makes you think he'd know?” I was practically raising my voice at her now.“Beca

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 31

    Liam's POV I knew I’d be a dead vampire when word gets to Ian about what I’d done, but I couldn’t bring myself to care. The image of Raina’s bruised and battered face still burned in my mind—it made me want to hunt the other one down. If my two informants hadn’t intercepted me outside the club, I probably would’ve.Judy had screamed her lungs out, yelling about the damage I’d caused. Zade, on the other hand, had stayed quiet. It was like they’d switched personalities.I reminded Judy who the boss was by threatening to drive a stake through her heart if she didn’t shut up. She stormed off, disappointment hard in her eyes. Zade just stood there, amused.Now, Zade and I were deep in the woods behind Raina’s house, following the trail of the creature. He still hadn’t said a word, but a faint grin clung to his face."What the fuck are you so happy about?" I muttered, crouching beside a faint trail of webbed footprints.He lifted his hands in mock surrender, grin widening. "Relax. I'm just

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 30

    Raina's POV Other than the tattoos on my body, nothing seemed to have changed in my physical appearance—that is, if you count out the black eye, swollen cheek, and cut on my lip. I cringed at my reflection in the splintered mirror, the encounter with those vampires replaying in my mind like a grim highlight.Sure, I’d made myself look miserable, pitiful in front of Liam. But in all honesty, I didn’t regret it. I didn’t care. To me, killing a vampire didn’t count as murder, especially since the bitch deserved it.I smiled faintly, tilting my head as I examined my reflection. Maybe I did look different, but in a good way. Stronger—fiercer even. I sure felt it. Even if everyone thought I was crazy and needed help, I knew I wasn’t imagining things. The tattoos were still there, clearer than ever. Whether anyone believed it or not, something had happened to me.I pulled my hair into a ponytail, then twisted it into a bun. Nina was already outside waiting. It felt like old times, back when

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 29

    Liam's POVThe scent hit me the moment I stepped into Crimson Pulse. A cocktail of blood, booze and bad decisions clung to the air like humidity on a hot night. The place pulsed with energy, a dark, rhythmic heartbeat that throbbed through the floor and into my bones.Vampires writhed on the dance floor beneath flickering red lights, their bodies tangled together in some twisted blend of hunger and lust. Some fed openly, fangs in necks, blood dripping down collarbones. Others watched, waiting for their turn. Fang bangers—those idiotic humans who flirted with death like it was an aphrodisiac—laughed and moaned, too lost in their fantasy to know they were seconds from never waking up.I wasn’t here to play.My boots thudded against the sleek black marble, every step cutting through the music like a blade. Eyes tracked me from all corners of the room, some curious, some wary, most smart enough to look away once they realized who I was.I didn’t stop. Didn’t pause to be acknowledged.The

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 28

    Liam's POV I intercepted Ian on his way to his room, blocking his path just before he could step in. He glared at me, then with a gesture of his hand, dismissed his assistants.“Speak,” he ordered.I arched a brow. Since when did he become cocky?Dismissing it with an awkward laugh, I gave him a playful punch. “Good to see you, too.”His gaze flickered to the spot where my fist met his shoulder and lingered. I swallowed, the air suddenly filled with tension.“So… that was a gripping speech,” I said, chuckling.He brushed past me, hands removing his cufflinks. “Wasn't meant to be. Just wanted to pass a message.”I followed him in, totally not noticing the massive king-sized bed, the humming AC above, or the perfectly aligned suits in his walk-in closet. Not at all.“Consider your message received.”“Good,” he muttered, tossing his jacket onto the bed.I folded my arms and leaned against the door. “Any plans?”He sighed, loosening his tie as he strutted to his almost floor-to-ceiling w
