2026-05-03 04:00:04The woods blur around us as we run. Branches whip past my face. My lungs burn. My legs ache. But none of it matters, Emily is beside me, stumbling, terrified, barely staying upright. Noah keeps a hand on her back, guiding her forward.
Behind us, Jason crashes through the trees like a storm. Too close. Too fast. Too angry. I can feel his magic pressing against mine, dark, heavy, suffocating. Emily’s bond pulses with fear,

Hallow's Edge Chapter Forty-Five -Raven
It’s the day before my birthday. The air feels different today, heavier, sharper, like the whole world is holding its breath. My magic is buzzing under my skin, restless and warm, like it’s trying to tell me something I’m not ready to hear.I can sense people now. Not just see them. Not just hear them. Sense them. Their energy. Their presence. Their emotions brushing against mine like faint whispers. At first I thought I was imagining it, but it’s gotten stronger every hour.When Noah walks into a room, it’s like a warm pulse in my chest. When Emily enters, it’s lighter, quicker, like sparks. Liam feels steady, grounded. Grace feels soft and warm, like sunlight. I can tell who’s coming before they even open the door. Noah says it’s the Guardian/Charge bond. I want to believe him. But something about it feels… bigger.Emily begged to come back to school today. She said she needed to keep an e
Hallow's Edge Chapter Forty-Four -Delaney
The door closes behind Brad with a soft click. It shouldn’t hurt. Not after everything. Not after eighteen years of silence. Not after the way he looked at me, cold, distant, like I was nothing but a tool he’d outgrown.But it does. It hurts so much I can barely breathe. The basement feels colder after he leaves. The shadows heavier. The air tighter. I press my forehead against my knees, trying to hold myself together, but the dam finally breaks. A sob rips out of me. Then another. And another.I’ve held on for so long, for Drake, for Raven, for the tiny sliver of hope that someone would come but Brad’s words shatter something inside me.You were always part of my plan.I needed your magic.Now I have Raven.I squeeze my eyes shut, tears burning hot trails down my cheeks. He didn’t mean it. He couldn’t have meant it. The Brad I knew, the Brad I loved, would never say those things
Hallow's Edge Chapter Forty-Three -Brad
The basement smells the same. Damp stone. Old magic. Dust. And Delaney. Eighteen years, and she still looks at me like she’s trying to see the man I used to be. She won’t find him. He died. I step out of the shadows, and she stiffens against the wall, her wrists bound, her eyes sharp despite the exhaustion.“Brad,” she whispers.My name sounds wrong in her voice. Too soft. Too familiar. Too human. I can’t afford to be any of those things. “Delaney,” I say, keeping my tone cold, collected. “It’s been a long time.”She studies me, searching for something, warmth, regret, love, anything that proves I’m still the man she married. I give her nothing.“Jason told me you were dead,” she says quietly.“I was.”Her breath catches. I move closer, letting the candlelight reveal the truth she’s been trying not to see, the faint scorch marks along my skin, the
Hallow's Edge Chapter Forty-Two -Raven
Warmth. That’s the first thing I feel. Warmth… and something solid pressed against my back. A steady heartbeat. An arm draped over my waist. I blink awake slowly, the room blurry at first. This isn’t my room. This is Noah’s. My stomach drops. I’m in Noah’s bed. With Noah. I freeze, every muscle locking up. My brain scrambles for an explanation, any explanation, but all I remember is falling asleep in my own room.How did I get here? Why am I here?I swallow hard and try to ease out from under his arm without waking him. If I can just slip away quietly, maybe...His arm tightens. Pulling me closer. I gasp softly. “Noah,” I whisper, mortified. “Let go.”He doesn’t. Instead, he buries his face in my hair like he’s still half-asleep. I feel his breath against my neck, warm and steady.I groan. “Noah…”A low laugh rumbles in his chest. He cracks one eye op
Hallow's Edge Chapter Forty-One -Noah
Something is happening to me. Something I’ve been dreading and waiting for in equal measure. The matebond is waking up. I’ve felt it for weeks, the pull toward Raven, the instinct to hover, the way my magic reacts to hers, but now, with her birthday only two days away, it’s getting harder to hide. Harder to control. Harder to breathe around her.I catch myself doing it constantly. Standing too close. Watching her too long. Listening for her footsteps even when I’m supposed to be doing homework.Mom teases me about being overprotective, but she doesn’t understand. Dad does, he’s seen this before, but he keeps his distance, giving me space to figure it out. But I can’t figure it out.Because every time Raven walks into a room, something inside me snaps to attention. Like a compass needle finding north. Like gravity shifting. Like she’s the only thing in the world that matters. And I can’t let her see it. Not ye
Hallow's Edge Chapter Forty -Raven
Something is wrong with me. Or maybe… something is waking up. I can’t tell the difference anymore.It’s three days until my birthday. Three days until Halloween. Three days until everything changes — even if I don’t fully understand what “everything” means yet. But my magic knows. It’s acting strange. Buzzing under my skin. Sparking when I’m emotional. Pulling toward things I don’t understand. And worst of all? It keeps dragging me toward Noah.It started yesterday. Every time he walked into a room, my magic… reacted. Like a warm hum in my chest. Like a magnet snapping into place. Like something inside me recognized him before my brain did. It’s wrong. It’s weird. It’s confusing. But it feels right in a way that scares me.Today it’s worse. I can’t focus in class. I can’t breathe when he’s too close. I can’t think straight when he looks at me with
