Liam’s POV

I clung to my brother's unconscious frame, all the hatred and fight forgotten for the moment. His skin was colder than usual—wrong cold, not the phantom stillness of a vampire but something deeper, emptier.

Ysra pressed past me, her hands already moving. Her palms hovered above his chest, a faint glow spilling between her fingers as she muttered words I couldn’t catch. For the first time in years, the authority in her voice eclipsed mine, harsh and commanding.

“Move,” she snapped at me. “Now.”

I obeyed without argument.

Her magic flared, a soft pulse that sent shivers crawling over my skin. For a moment, I thought she’d found something, that the light would drive back the black rot spreading from Raina’s bite. But then her breath hitched, and she leaned back, her face ashen.

“He’s dying,” she whispered.

The words rooted in my chest like iron stakes. “No. He can’t—”

“I’ve slowed it,” Ysra cut in, her voice trembling but firm. “That’s all I can do. It’s spreading too fast, an

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 83

    Raina’s POVSlade watched me like he was reading a language he already knew by heart. Every shift of my hand, every slow blink—he saw it. He wasn’t just looking. He was studying. Measuring. Waiting to see if I would lie again.He’d poured me another glass I hadn’t asked for. I held it anyway, the rim pressing against my lower lip as the blood’s metallic scent curled through the air. It wasn’t human. It was cleaner, colder. Stored blood, probably taken from donors or corpses. Efficient. Boring. Nothing like the pulse-warm rush that came from the vein. But I drank. It helped me blend in. Pretend.“You’ve got control,” Slade said after a moment, his tone casual but testing. “Most of the new ones don’t. They burn through cities until someone puts them down.”I let the glass hover near my mouth. “You seem awfully confident that I’m new.”He smirked, leaning back in his chair. “If you weren’t, I’d know your name already. And your kill count.”I tilted my head. “You don’t know everything.”“

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 82

    Raina’s POVMusic throbbed through the walls like a heartbeat I couldn’t feel. The club pulsed with it—bass shaking the floorboards, laughter too loud, perfume too sweet, blood humming in every mortal vein that brushed past me.It was almost funny, the way they never noticed. Monsters didn’t have to hide anymore; they just had to smile.I stood at the edge of the crowd, wearing a borrowed face of softness. My hair fell loose over my shoulders, lips tinted the color of a promise. The dress clung just enough to draw eyes. I tilted my head when someone looked too long, let a faint, shy smile curve my mouth—the kind that said easy target.It didn’t take long.He was tall, in that careless, expensive way. A human. Maybe half-drunk. Maybe just stupid. His heartbeat drummed steady beneath his shirt when he leaned in close enough to smell the wine on my breath.“You look like you don’t belong here,” he said.I let out a soft laugh, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. “Maybe I don’t.”He

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 81

    Liam’s POVFor a while, the world existed only in her breath.Raina’s head rested against my shoulder, her skin clammy with blood and guilt. The bar reeked of death, but I didn’t care. I’d take this—her warmth, her trembling—over the centuries of silence that came before her.When she finally pulled away, her eyes were still gold, still burning, but softer now. “You shouldn’t have come,” she murmured. “You keep walking into fires that were never meant for you.”I gave a rough laugh. “Then stop lighting them.”Her lips twitched like she almost wanted to smile, but the hunger in her eyes never left. She rose to her feet, unsteady, swiping her sleeve across her mouth. “I need more,” she whispered. “It never ends.”Before I could stop her, she was gone—a blur through the shattered door, the wind rushing in her wake. I followed, not to stop her, but because I couldn’t leave her alone in this. Not again.She didn’t hunt in alleys or shadows this time. She didn’t even hide. She walked throug

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 79

    Liam’s POVThe night stank of blood and smoke.I stood at the edge of the ruin Raina had left behind, boots crunching over bodies that would never rise again. Wolves sprawled across the dirt, their fur matted dark. Hybrids twitched in the throes of death. Vampires had already turned to ash, their remains scattering under the faint breeze. The ground itself looked as if it had been split open, claw marks gouged deep, the earth bleeding from every wound she carved into it.The Devourer had passed through. And I had let her run.I swallowed hard, my throat raw. It would have been easier to blame her entirely, to call her a monster and nothing more. But I had seen her eyes before she left—Raina’s eyes. Not Mel’s. Not the Devourer’s. Hers. The girl who had once leaned into me with coffee-stained hands and whispered that she felt lonely without her parents.And now she was more alone than ever.A groan snapped me from my thoughts. Ian.He dragged himself up from the dirt, his shirt torn, bl

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 78

    Raina’s POV Claws met skin before I could breathe. The wolves came first, lunging in from both sides, teeth snapping for my throat. I twisted, my body moving faster than my thoughts, the hunger pulling me through their lines. My hand snapped forward, claws tearing through fur and muscle. One wolf yelped, collapsing into the dirt. Another caught my shoulder, but I tore him away, sending him crashing into the dirt with bone-rattling force. Blood slicked the earth, and the frenzy only deepened. Another vampire rushed me, fangs bared, eyes wild. I slammed my palm into his chest and felt bone shatter beneath my touch. His scream cut off as I threw him into the ground so hard the earth split beneath him. The hybrids hesitated now, watching me the way prey watches fire. For a moment, victory surged through me. For a moment, I thought I could survive this. But there were too many. They swarmed again, wave after wave, their teeth, claws, blades catching me from every angle. I tore thro
