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

Liam’s POVI didn’t like this plan one bit. To Ian, Raina might just be some pawn in whatever twisted game he was playing—someone he could use and discard later. But to me, she was so much more than that. Just the mere thought of anything happening to her was unnerving.I wanted to object, to suggest a better plan. Yet, I kept my lips sealed, because honestly, I doubted there was a better one.It was obvious Raina wasn’t comfortable with the idea either. Her expression betrayed her anxiety. I reached for her hand on top of the map.“You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.”Her gaze flicked to where our hands touched, and she yanked hers away, eyes flashing with anger before turning away from me.“If I don't want to, I'll say so,” she snapped. “Do me a favor. Keep your distance. Just because we’re working together doesn’t mean we have to be friends.”Ian raised a questioning brow behind her. Miss Dorothy watched us silently. As much as I wanted to clear the air between me and R
The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse Chapter 41
Raina’s POV“What’s a devourer?” I asked, my gaze flicking from Miss Dorothy to Ian.No one answered.Liam kept his expression blank—or at least he tried to. But I could see a subtle flicker of worry in his eyes. Miss Dorothy had her eyes on the book Ian had handed her, occasionally glancing up at me, then back at the vampires, like she was trying to silently warn or guide me. As for Ian, he just stared. It was unnerving. His eyes didn’t blink, his smile stayed curled like it was sewn into his face, and I couldn’t stop shifting from foot to foot under his gaze.The silence in the room stretched uncomfortably long. The kind of quiet that made every second feel heavy. I opened my mouth to ask why everyone was acting weird when Ian clapped his hands suddenly, slicing through the stillness like a blade.“Let’s move on to business, shall we?” he said, looking to Miss Dorothy. “The girl is here now. Can we begin?”My eyebrows shot up. “Wait—were you guys waiting for me?”Miss Dorothy was th
The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse Chapter 40
Liam’s POVI hadn’t been able to confront Ian when I’d gotten home that night. The things the wolf had revealed to me made me realize just how much I couldn’t trust my brother anymore. If he could frame one of his own, how easy would it be for him to eliminate me once he realized I’d found out things I wasn’t supposed to? Especially since he’d have more than enough reasons to justify my death—and the clan would believe every word of it.I tried so hard to pretend everything was fine. Like he was still the perfect leader I once believed him to be. I drank with him. Laughed with him. Even went hunting with him for the creature that had kept Windshade on edge. Yet, things didn’t feel the same anymore. No matter how well I played my part, the gap between us was widening.It felt like instead of accomplishing my missions, I kept adding to the list. Every day uncovered another crack.The wolves had been right. I couldn’t do this alone. But reaching out to them still felt like betrayal. Some
The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse Chapter 39
Raina’s POVThe scent of burnt coffee clung to the sheriff’s office like a second skin. Papers were scattered across the round table, a half-finished map of Windshade pinned to the center with coffee mugs and open files. Red markers circled each crime scene, and there were more circles now than there had been last week. Too many.Nina sat beside me, twirling a pen between her fingers, her brows furrowed in quiet frustration. Across from us, Sheriff Grant rubbed his temple, squinting at a page in front of him like it might start making sense if he stared long enough.“This doesn’t add up,” he muttered, pushing the file away. “There’s no pattern. No DNA. No tracks. Just bodies. Drained and dumped like some twisted message.”“It’s not a message,” Nina said softly. “It’s a warning. It’s getting closer.”“Or bolder,” I added.The room fell quiet for a moment. The buzzing fluorescent light above us hummed the only sound.Sheriff Grant let out a long breath, then looked between us. “Raina, y
The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse Chapter 38
Liam’s POV“You need to come back to Manhattan with us. Your brother is losing it.”I let out a dry laugh. “Ian doesn’t lose anything. Especially not his mind.”“No,” the werewolf said, lips curling over his teeth. “But he’s losing his morals.”I didn’t flinch. Instead, I tilted my head, studying him.“You know, when I said I’m listening, I expected some kind of explanation. Not vague, cryptic shit. I’m not fucking Sherlock.”“Steven.”I straightened. “What about him?”“So the name does ring a bell. I heard he was ‘punished,’” he said, air-quoting the last word.“Steven disobeyed a direct order. He went rogue.”The wolf shook his head. “He didn’t. That’s the lie Ian wanted you to believe.”“Ian wouldn’t lie to me. Transparency is one of the traits that makes him a good leader.”A wave of scoffs rippled through the wolves. The man raised a hand again, silencing them.“Transparency? Or manipulation? Let me ask you something, heir to the Nocturnus clan.”I didn’t let my surprise show. No
