Liam’s POV

Time doesn’t pass the same when you’re waiting for someone who may never walk back through the door.

I’d been hovering around Slade’s territory for more than twenty-four hours, alone with nothing but the distant thrum of bass from his club and the static ache of the bond in my chest—that faint pull reminding me Raina was alive but drifting further from the version of herself that remembered me.

Slade said to wait. I wasn’t built for waiting.

By the time the clock struck midnight again, I’d had enough.

His men at the entrance recognized me instantly. Not because they knew my face, but because they could feel the rage rolling off me. They tensed like they were ready to throw themselves at me for Slade’s approval, but I didn’t give them a chance to decide.

The doors burst inward when I kicked them open, and the music swallowed me whole—pounding, frantic, feeding the violence simmering under my skin.

Slade saw me coming before anyone else did. He was lounging against the railin

    Raina’s POVI lied.I wasn’t looking for who had turned Slade because he had answers. I was looking for an easy way to end it all.And to do that, I had to find the makers. The ones who started it all. The roots of our corruption. The monsters that even monsters whispered about. Michael Valeric was one of them.The name itself carried a kind of silence that pressed against the bones. It tasted old. Heavy. The kind of name that wasn’t meant to be spoken out loud after dark.I tracked him to the outskirts of the city—where the streetlights thinned, and the air thickened with something that wasn’t quite night. The land was older here. The soil black and damp, the trees bent from years of holding secrets they couldn’t drop. I followed the scent of decay and iron until I reached what looked like an abandoned chapel swallowed by the forest. The roof had long caved in, and the stone walls were cracked like veins under pale skin.The wind moaned through the hollow frame, carrying whispers th

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 85

    Raina’s POV Oh, I did find something worse than myself waiting in the dark. It wasn’t a monster. It wasn’t even human. It was purpose. Cold, clean, cruel. The shipment Slade had sent me after wasn’t late—it was stolen. By a group of rogue vampires who thought feeding off the trade lines would make them untouchable. They were wrong. Their hideout was an old freight yard just beyond the river, thick with rust and stench. The night crawled with the kind of silence that only came before blood. I moved through it like smoke, tracing the heartbeat of the first guard before he even saw me. One twist, one bite, and he was gone. The others followed fast. Quick kills. No mess. I was done before the echo of the first body hit the ground. When I found the missing shipment, half the blood bags were drained dry. The rogues hadn’t been hungry—they’d been desperate. I stared down at the torn plastic, the clotted red on the floor, and felt nothing. Maybe that was the worst part. By the ti

  • The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse   Chapter 84

    Liam’s POVThe blood burned down my throat, thick and coppery, too sweet for what I needed. The man’s pulse fluttered weakly under my hand, his breath hitching as I let go. He slumped against the wall, alive—barely.I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and took a step back. I couldn’t even remember the last time I’d killed to feed. Maybe I was losing my edge. Maybe I didn’t care anymore.The alley was quiet except for the hum of a far-off generator and the faint rustle of paper skittering across the pavement. I could almost pretend it was peace. Almost.Then I felt it—eyes on me.“Come out,” I said, my voice low. “If you’re going to stare, at least have the decency to do it to my face.”The shadows shifted near the end of the alley, and a figure stepped forward. A vampire. Young, by the look of him—eyes too bright, movements too clean, the sort of sharpness that hadn’t yet dulled with time.He inclined his head in a half-bow. “He’s still fighting,” he said. “But he’s fading fast.

    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
