Liam’s POV

Dawn came, but it brought no peace.

We had taken shelter in what was left of an old barn, its roof half-caved, its walls leaning like they would fall with a strong wind. The wolves had chosen it for cover, but no one closed their eyes. The smell of blood still clung to us, iron and smoke lodged in our throats, and every creak of the boards overhead kept nerves taut.

No one spoke much at first. Zade paced in the corner, muttering curses under his breath. Judy leaned against the wall, dagger still in her hand, spinning it idly as if daring anyone to interrupt her. Raina sat with Ysra, holding her steady, whispering things I didn't bother hearing.

I stayed near the fire pit in the center, the embers throwing out weak light. My mind replayed the night over and over: Silas’s roar, Tiana’s smirk, the hybrids tearing through the camp. Too many wolves had not made it out. Those who had were slumped in corners now, eyes hollow, waiting for orders that had not yet come.

Finally, Zade

    Raina’s POVThe waiting seemed like the hardest part.Wolves murmured to each other, weapons being checked, and strapped tighter their bodies. Zade was sharpening a blade for the third time. Judy leaned against the wall, flipping her dagger like she was bored.The Alpha stood near the broken fountain, arms crossed, eyes on the horizon where the sun was sinking. Dorian was close to him, speaking low until finally the Alpha raised his voice so the rest of us could hear.“Ian is not in his mansion. My scouts checked every corner. Empty. No movement for days.”I frowned. “So he’s hiding somewhere else in the city?”“Or waiting,” the Alpha said flatly. “He wants us to search. He wants us to walk into him on his terms.”Liam folded his arms, his jaw tight. “Then we don’t search blind. He’ll go where there’s blood. Where there are survivors to feed on.”“Not many survivors left,” one of the wolves muttered.“Enough for bait,” Judy said. “He knows what he’s doing.”The Alpha’s jaw tightened.

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 69

    Raina’s POVTiana’s smile stayed fixed, cruel and smug as she held Ysra suspended like a puppet. My stomach twisted, disbelief clawing through me.“How?” I forced out, my voice cracking. “You were human. You had no power. How are you doing this?”Her eyes found mine, alight with wicked pride. “It’s the perks of being a vampire clan leader’s favorite. Especially when he happens to have a clever little scientist who’s been saving us a great deal of trouble. Experimentation is such tedious work… but when it pays off?” She lifted Ysra higher, her limbs jerking in the invisible grip. “Well, I’m living proof of that success.”My pulse hammered. “Dr. Velma,” Liam growled beside me, his voice low, dangerous. “Where is she?”Tiana’s lips curved like a blade. “Don’t worry, she’s in good hands. And so will Ysra be. Soon enough.”She yanked Ysra closer as if claiming her. Ysra let out a strangled cry, her nails clawing at the air. Something snapped inside me. I didn’t think. I just moved.I launc

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 68

    Liam’s POVThe scream split the night.It was sharp, high-pitched, full of terror—and then it cut off too quickly.I was on my feet before I realized I had moved, Raina just a step behind me. Wolves burst from their tents, weapons half-drawn, fangs glistening as they went into full alert modeThe fire threw wild shadows over their faces as we sprinted toward the sound.The body lay sprawled near the edge of camp. A wolf, his throat ripped clean, his eyes still wide with the last thing he’d seen. Blood soaked into the dirt, too much too fast for anyone to save him.Another scream answered from the opposite side of camp.“Positions!” the camp leader roared, his voice cutting through the chaos. He was still in human form—every wolf was, with the full moon only a night away—but the weight of his presence carried like a blade through the air, steadying the panic. Broad-shouldered, jaw set, he moved with the kind of authority that left no room for hesitation. The pack obeyed instantly.“Eron

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 67

    Raina’s povWhen Judy tugged me away from the fire earlier, I caught the flicker of Liam’s eyes on us. It was not the first time. He had been watching me differently since we came here, suspicion hidden beneath the surface of his calm. Part of me wanted to reassure him, but another part liked keeping him guessing. After all, I was not the fragile girl he thought he had to protect.“Come on,” Judy whispered, pulling me behind one of the larger tents where the shadows hid us from the others. “If anyone sees us, they’ll think we’re plotting some wicked scheme.”“Are we not?” I asked, raising a brow.Judy smirked, her fangs flashing before she tucked them away. “Not the kind you’re thinking. Trust me, this will be worth it.”She crouched down and pulled a handful of pebbles from a pouch at her waist, arranging them carefully on the ground in a crooked circle. At first, I thought she was sketching out some kind of ritual, something witch-like that she must have picked up from Ysra. But the

    Liam’s povMorning came slow and heavy. The forest mist hung over the camp like a veil, softening the edges of tents and fire pits, muting the wolves’ movements as they stirred from their shelters. Somewhere in the distance, I could hear water trickling over stone, a steady rhythm beneath the shuffle of boots and the crackle of fire being coaxed back to life.I had not slept, though I pretended to. My body no longer required rest the way it once had, but the weight in my chest was worse than any fatigue. All through the night, I replayed her words, the way she had leaned her head on my shoulder as if it belonged there. And every time, the same thought burned through me: she didn't know this year would be my last.I sat by the fire pit again, my eyes fixed on the rising smoke. The wolves went about their business, sharp and efficient, but I was distracted by the sound of laughter. My head turned before I could stop myself.There she was.Standing just beyond the clearing, her hair caug
