Hallow's Edge Chapter Sixty -Raven
I can’t stop laughing as Noah pulls me toward the cabin, our hands tangled together, the matebond humming like warm sunlight under my skin. The sky behind us is streaked with pink and gold, the lake shimmering like it’s holding its breath. Everything feels lighter. Brighter. Easier. Like the world finally paused long enough for me to breathe. Noah opens the cabin door and steps aside, letting me walk in first. The cozy warmth hits me immediately, the soft glow of the lamps, the faint smell of cedar, the quiet crackle of the fireplace he lit earlier. It feels like stepping into a safe place. A place meant for us.He closes the door behind us, and for a moment, we just stand there, facing each other, both a little breathless. His cheeks are pink. Mine probably are too. The matebond pulses gently, like it’s waiting.Noah clears his throat, rubbing the back of his neck. “Okay. So. Before anything else… I want you to be comfortable. And sure. And not overwhelmed.”I smile. “I’m not overwhe
Hallow's Edge Chapter Fifty-Nine -Noah
I’m unpacking groceries in the tiny cabin kitchen when Raven asks the question that nearly makes me drop an entire bag of potatoes.“Noah… what happens when we complete the matebond?”I freeze. Absolutely freeze. My brain short‑circuits. My heart stumbles. The matebond flares so hard I swear the lights flicker.She’s standing there looking innocent and curious and completely unaware that she just knocked the air out of my lungs.I recover...barely. “We’ll… talk about it over dinner,” I manage. “Go freshen up. I’ll get things started.”She nods and disappears down the hall. The second she’s out of sight, I grip the counter and exhale hard. I want it. I want her. I want the bond complete, settled, whole. But that’s not what this weekend is for. This weekend is for breathing. For healing. For letting her be a person, not a prophecy.So I start chopping vegetables, hoping the rhythm will help me figure out how to explain something sacred without overwhelming her. How do I tell her what it
Hallow's Edge Chapter Fifty-Eight -Raven
A week. It’s been a full week since my birthday, since the flames, since the prophecy, since the Nothing, since hearing my dad’s real voice for the first time in eighteen years.And somehow… life kept going. Mom and I have spent every day together. Cooking. Talking. Laughing. Crying. Learning each other in ways we never got to before.Emily has dragged me into town twice for “normal girl things,” which apparently includes milkshakes, thrift stores, and her trying to convince me to get a tattoo, since I'm eighteen now.Liam and Grace have been hovering like bonus parents. And Noah…Noah has been my anchor. Our matebond is still new, still glowing, still settling into place like a second heartbeat. Every time he touches me, even just brushing my hand, my magic calms.But even with all of that… I’m still spiraling. Because every night, I hear my dad’s voice in the Nothing. Every morning, I wake up wondering how to save him. Every hour, I feel the Hallow pressing at the edges of my mind. A
Hallow's Edge Chapter Fifty-Seven ~Brad/Jason
The moment I drag him back, he screams. Brad’s essence, what’s left of it, thrashes like a trapped animal as I slam him into the dark corner of our shared mind. The Nothing collapses behind him, sealing shut like a wound. “You pathetic fool,” I hiss.He gasps, flickering like a dying ember. “She… she heard me.”I tighten my grip around him, squeezing until his form fractures into shards of light. “She wasn’t supposed to,” I snarl. “You weren’t supposed to break free.”He laughs. Weak. Broken. But defiant. “She’s stronger than you think.”I slam him against the inside of our skull, the cabin around us flickering as my rage bleeds into the physical world. Shadows crawl up the walls, pulsing with my heartbeat. “She is mine,” I growl. “My vessel. My key. My destiny.”Brad’s voice softens. “She’s my daughter.”I twist him tighter, savoring the crack in his light. “She is the One,” I whisper. “Born of dual flame. Born to open the door you died to protect.”He shudders. “I didn’t die to prot
Hallow's Edge Chapter Fifty-Six -Raven
By the time we finish talking through the prophecy, my head feels like it’s full of static. Everyone looks exhausted, even Mom, and she’s usually the last one to admit she needs sleep.Grace suggests we call it a night.Liam agrees.Emily yawns so hard she nearly falls off her chair.I nod, ready to collapse. But when I stand, my feet move on their own. Not toward my room. Toward Noah’s. I don’t even realize it until I’m already inside, sitting on the edge of his bed with the prophecy book open in my lap. The pages glow faintly in the dim light, like they’re whispering to me.Noah closes the door behind us, watching me with that soft, steady look he always has when he’s worried. “You’re spiraling again,” he says gently.“I’m not,” I lie. He raises a brow. I sigh. “Okay, maybe a little.”He walks over, sits beside me, and without a word, slides the book out of my hands. He sets it on the nightstand like it’s a dangerous weapon. Maybe it is. Then he pulls me into his arms. Warm. Safe. S
Hallow's Edge Chapter Fifty-Five -Brad
The cabin materializes around me in a rush of cold air and dying embers. My head throbs. My ribs ache. My magic flickers like a candle in a storm. But none of that matters. Because I saw her. Raven. My daughter. My blood. My legacy. And now I know what she truly is.Jason storms into the room the second I appear, eyes blazing. “Where the hell have you been? Delaney and Drake got away! We had them...”“I don’t care,” I say flatly.Jason freezes. “What?”I brush ash from my sleeve, ignoring the pain in my side. “Let them run. They’re irrelevant now.”His jaw clenches. “Irrelevant? Delaney was the key to...”“She was,” I correct. “Past tense.”Jason stares at me like I’ve lost my mind. Maybe I have. Maybe I don’t care. Because everything changed tonight.He steps closer. “Where’s Raven?”I look up slowly. “She got away.”Jason’s face twists with fury. “You let her escape?! Brad, we need her! We need—”“I need the prophecy book.”That shuts him up. Jason blinks. “What? Why? We don’t need
Hallow's Edge Chapter Twenty-Two - Jason
Lily is waiting for me when I return home. She shouldn’t be. She should be resting. She should be silent. Instead, she’s pacing the living room, clutching her injured arm, eyes red and wild.“Dad,” she snaps the moment she sees me, “did you see what she did? She attacked me! She...”“Enough.”The w
Hallow's Edge Chapter Twenty-One -Raven
The dream feels different the moment it begins. Not cold. Not violent. Not like the nightmares that rip me awake shaking. This one feels… intentional.I’m standing in a dim room lit by a single lantern. The air smells like herbs and smoke. And in front of me, kneeling beside a cot, is the woman wit
Hallow's Edge Chapter Twenty - Noah/Jason
The moment the surge hits, I run. I don’t think. I don’t breathe, I move. Branches whip against my arms as I tear through the woods, Dad right behind me. The bond is a live wire under my skin, burning, frantic, pulling me toward Raven with a force that borders on pain. She’s scared. She’s overwhelm
Hallow's Edge Chapter Eighteen - Raven
The farmer's market feels too bright today. Too cheerful. Too normal. Like the whole town is trying to pretend Drake isn’t still missing.Noah and his dad left a little while ago to join the search party. I watched them disappear toward the trail entrance, the bond tugging at me until they were out
