Raina’s POV

The rain had turned the streets into rivers, making the road deserted and difficult to walk in. I trudged through the waters, careful not to let myself slip against the rising current. My legs were tired and heavy, the chilling wind blowing softly against my drenched clothes.

I drew Liam’s jacket tighter around me, trying to block out the cold as I kept walking at a steady pace, waiting for him to catch up.

He promised.

He would come.

My teeth chattered, goosebumps breaking out across my skin, yet I waited patiently. The urge to turn around and help him was overwhelming, but I fought it. Going back now would only make me a liability, so I kept my gaze fixed on the trail of water flowing down the street, letting my thoughts drift with it.

A vampire had agreed to help me—just because I asked. It felt too good to be true. As much as I welcomed his help, a nagging feeling in the back of my mind wouldn’t let me fully trust him. He had to have an ulterior motive—or at the very l

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 48

    Liam's POV“It all happened so fast. The creature caught you all off guard. It knocked you unconscious and when you woke up, Garett was dead and Raina was missing.”Nina blinked as the compulsion took root in her mind. I lowered my hands from her face and turned to where I'd laid Raina's lifeless body on the couch.Her hands rested over the wound where I had stabbed her. Her eyes stared blankly, unblinking. Rigor mortis had already set in—her skin pale, her body stiff. The sight pierced through me, but I couldn't take her away yet. Not until I was sure her friend would be safe.I heightened my senses, straining to listen. The faint wail of approaching sirens reached my ears, they were close. I faced Nina again.“Stay here until the police arrive,” I said gently. “I’m taking your friend with me.” I rose to my feet, but her hand shot out, gripping my leg.“Please.. please save her,” she begged, her voice cracking as another wave of sobs overtook her. “Don’t take Raina away from me.”Th

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 47

    Liam's POVThe irregular beating of her heart told me her quiet, unreadable demeanor was nothing more than a facade. I could tell she was barely holding on to her sanity.I wanted to say something to comfort her, but what could I say that would make her feel better when I knew exactly what we were flying into?Ysra had never been wrong in her visions. If she believed Uncle Garett was gone, then I had no reason to doubt her. But for Raina’s sake, I prayed—truly prayed—that this time she was mistaken. That someone had intervened, or at the very least, he would still be alive to say goodbye.We were still a fair distance away when the metallic scent of blood hit me. I kept my expression blank, my posture relaxed, doing everything I could to make sure she didn’t notice.“Raina,” I began, uncertain what I even meant to say. I just knew I had to prepare her somehow for the scene we were about to walk into. She didn’t respond, but I went on. “I just wanted you to know that no matter what hap

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 46

    Raina’s POVI sucked in a breath, awestruck, as Ysra moved closer to the table, a hand poised above it, lips moving rapidly. I couldn't decipher the words she was saying, but then, the pool of Ian's blood began to stir, thin lines branching out across different points on the map like veins finding new paths.“What's she doing?” I whispered, more to myself than anyone else.“She's chanting a spell to help us locate Velmoran,” Ian answered calmly.Liam tilted his head, brow furrowed. “Yeah, but shouldn’t it be going in one direction? Why is it spreading everywhere?” Almost as if in response, Ysra’s body jerked violently. The cutleries on the tables clattered, vibrating with the same sudden force.“Is this normal?” I called out, the rising tension in my chest threatening to choke me.Neither of them answered. Instead, both brothers stepped closer to me in protective stances, their eyes never leaving their sister.Ysra’s head snapped back, her voice rising, multiplying in tone, like more

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 45

    Raina's POVI couldn't bring myself to talk to Nina. She'd gone behind my back, even after all our conversations, after I'd made it clear I didn’t want my uncle involved. She broke that trust. And now, I didn’t know how to face him.For several minutes, I stood outside his study door, unsure whether to walk in or wait until after the dance—after we'd hopefully captured Velmoran. If the door hadn’t pulled open, I probably would’ve done the latter.Surprisingly, Uncle Garett was calm. Hurt that I hadn’t been the one to tell him, but calm. He believed every word Nina had told him.I apologized, and to prove I was truly sorry, I told him everything. From the meeting in the library to the plan to capture Velmoran.He said little in return. His eyes dulled with sadness, his mind elsewhere. I asked what he was thinking, but he brushed it off, saying it could wait until I returned. That image of him—his silence, his sadness—it lingered in my mind, even as I arrived at the party with Liam.The

    Liam’s POVThe ball was exquisite. Held at Skypane Hotel, the same one I'd been on the roof of with Raina only a few hours ago.Ian had rented the hall, going all out to outdo himself. Dark velvet, floating lanterns, blood-red roses, and chandeliers made from bone and crystal decorated the entrance all the way to the inside. I'd say its high gothic decorations were a dead giveaway that this wasn't a ball thrown by any human.It was elegant with a predatory undertone, a violin quartet playing a haunting tune that shifted to modern orchestral remixes during intervals. It was literally the definition of hauntingly beautiful. Yet, my admiration wasn't on the ball or its finery, it was on the girl standing beside me, hand interlaced in mine.The burgundy red dress that pooled around her legs, clinging to her waist, accentuating her curves, made it hard to keep my primal instincts in check. It was obvious she was the center of attention.The way she moved—with grace like I'd never seen befo

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 43

    Raina's POVNina was on her feet the second I walked into the living room. “You know, when someone says, 'I won't take long,' they're usually back in five to ten minutes. It's been hours, Rain!"I gave her an apologetic smile, arms outstretched for a hug. She reluctantly embraced me."I'm sorry. I didn't realize I'd been gone that long."She pulled away, eyeing me suspiciously. "You didn't realize?" Her face twisted into a smirk as she tugged me onto the couch. "Spill. And it better be good."I laughed and made to stand, but she held me back. I furrowed my brows. "Seriously?""Yes, seriously. You went in to see Miss Dorothy. Spent over an hour. Came out with a vampire at your heel—" I started to argue, but she raised a finger. "Then you asked us to leave so you could have a quick word with said vampire. And now... you come home two to three hours later, saying you didn’t 'realize' the time? Come on. You don't expect me to believe you two actually spent all that time talking about the
