The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse Chapter 96
Raina’s POVMorning came too quietly.For the first time in what felt like forever, I woke without the weight of magic clawing at the back of my mind. No choking terror. No visions. No guilt forcing itself through my ribs. Just the soft rustle of the curtains above the bed and the warmth of Liam’s arm draped around my waist.For a moment, I let myself lie still and pretend this was normal.A cold presence pressed along my spine, the kind that should have felt unsettling, but instead wrapped around me protectively, almost like a silent promise. Liam stirred behind me.“You awake,” he murmured.“Unfortunately,” I whispered. “I was enjoying the peace.”He shifted so he could look at me. His eyes had softened, the usual sharpness dulled by something gentler. I loved that look more than I should. It made me feel like I was allowed to be something other than danger.“Come on,” he said. “Get dressed. I’m taking you somewhere.”My brows rose. “Where exactly?”“Out,” he replied simply, already

Liam’s POVRaina’s legs buckled as the invisible grip tightened around her throat. Her fingers clawed at the air. Her scream broke into a choking rasp that scraped at something raw inside me."Ysra, stop." I threw myself toward her.In the space between one step and the next, my entire body seized. Invisible bindings snapped around my arms and legs. I crashed to my knees, unable to move anything except my head. The spell crushed the breath out of me even though I didn’t need air to live. It was pressure. It was force. It was Ysra’s fury made tangible.Raina screamed again.Ysra’s hair flew around her head in a violent halo as she advanced. Power radiated from her in waves, thick enough to taste like iron on my tongue."I warned you," she said. Her voice trembled, not with fear, but with a grief so deep it had nothing left except rage to hold it together. "I told you my family would always come first.”"Let her go," I managed to grind out as I dragged my body against the spell inch by

Liam’s POVThe urn felt too light in my hands.Ian had always seemed heavier than the rest of us. His presence had weight. His anger had weight. Even his silence could fill a room and pin everyone else in place. But what I held now was nothing more than a small dark cylinder with a loose metal cap. Ashes shifted inside each time the wind pushed over the bridge. It made me feel sick.This was the same bridge where everything had begun. The same railing I had been thrown against when Ian grabbed me by the collar and tore me away from the stupid idea of killing Raina. He had been relentless then, furious even, but determined to stop me. The memory of it pressed into my skull as if it had happened yesterday.Ysra stood beside me with her arms wrapped tightly around herself. Judy leaned on the railing with her eyes closed while the night's cold breeze tangled her hair. Zade was behind them both, silent, his hands on Ysra's shoulders because she could barely stand without trembling.I swall

Raina’s POVI stared at Ian’s withered corpse as if seeing him shrink before my eyes might undo what I had done. My hands were trembling, slick with his blood, as guilt sank into me like a stone, keeping me rooted in place, too stunned to look away. My breaths came in jagged, uneven bursts, my chest burning from the pain I refused to acknowledge—burning for a mistake that felt irreversible.I turned to Liam, unsure of how to start asking for forgiveness, but then I noticed he was alone. Uncle Garrett was gone. Panic clawed up my throat, my knees nearly buckling. “U-uncle Garett?” I whispered, my voice cracking, the hope I’d clung to for so long shattering with the whisper of his absence. “Please….don't tell me it was all for nothing…please come back.”But he didn’t. Not a shimmer, not a breath, not even a trace of warmth. It was like he had never existed. Like I had imagined him and conjured him from the hands of death.I sank to the floor, my body curling into itself, the smell of
The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse Chapter 92
Liam’s POV Raina didn’t move at first. She just stared at the man standing in the clearing, the way someone looks at a ghost they want to believe is real. Her voice barely came out. “Uncle Garrett…?” He smiled, warm and gentle, like he had every right to be here. Like the bodies behind us weren’t shriveled husks. Like he hadn’t been dead for weeks now. “Come here, sweetheart.” She took half a step. I grabbed her arm. “Raina, wait.” She jerked her arm back, but not hard. Just enough for me to feel how much she wanted me gone in that moment. “You don’t understand, Liam,” she said, eyes still locked on him. “I-I thought he was gone forever.” “That’s because he is gone forever,” I snapped. “Whatever this is… it isn’t him.” “I’m him,” Garrett said, stepping into the moonlight. “Brought back the way only witches can.” His tone was soothing, convincing. “They're giving a life for another, Raina.” Raina shook her head, disbelief and hope knotted into something dangerous.
The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse Chapter 91
Liam’s POVMorning in a house full of monsters was never quiet.The sunlight barely made it through the curtains, thin lines of gold cutting across the dining table where Zade and Judy sat pretending to eat breakfast they didn’t need. Ysra was muttering over a bowl of herbs, and Ian was sprawled across the couch like he owned the place, tossing an apple in the air just to get on everyone’s nerves.Raina stood near the window, pretending to be unaffected. But I could tell. Her jaw was tight, her shoulders tense. Every pulse of magic in the room was bait, and she was trying not to hear it.“You know,” Ian said, his tone dripping with mock thoughtfulness, “it’s kind of ironic, us keeping the vampire-eater under our roof. Feels like sleeping with a lit match in a gas leak.”“Then leave,” Raina said flatly, without turning.“Oh, trust me, sweetheart, I’ve considered it.” He caught the apple one last time and sank his fangs into it, not because he needed to, but because he knew it annoyed h
