Earis

The way she sobbed on my shoulder, how tightly she held onto me, and how perfectly she fit into my arms, all just like Anya. That's what she used against me, my grief. What kind of person uses someone's grief and weaponizes it for self-preservation?

I tightened my grip at the back of her neck whilst my other hand held her waist firmly. My breath came in ragged gasps as fury consumed me.

“Mama, please…” she continued, sobbing really hard. The same way Anya had cried when I wanted to leave for college, except I was Earis and not Mama. This had everything to do with my pregnancy!

She was dipping herself into my memories and pulling out what made me vulnerable, so she could exploit them mercilessly in her own way.

“Earis… pull her away from you!” Magnus's voice came again. “Come to me, little wolf.”

A broken cry rippled from my throat as I pulled her off me like pulling off a leash that wouldn't stop sucking your blood, even if everything in my head resisted and urged me to prote

  • Hunt Me, Mark Me    129. Obtaining the Atherias II

    Earis The air felt wrong the moment we hit the city limits. It lacked the untainted freshness of the cabin, carrying a faint, metallic tang—the unmistakable residue of Wolfbane. They'd poisoned the air, and even though the Airlite hummed faintly against my collarbone neutralizing the toxin, it still felt like I was inhaling toxic fuel.Louis had given me a striking red bob wig with bangs and glasses, claiming it suited me better than my own dark hair with silver stripes. Everything related to De Compte was luxury. Beckendem High was a mountain carved into a building. It still baffles me how a High school can look better than Greymist college. Whoever our Atherias was must be damn wealthy. Louis took his time adjusting my wig and glasses, his face serious. "Remember the plan, ma chérie. We're interns from St. Calliope's college, here to take a lecture. Mum has sent an email to the principal. They'll be expecting us.”I nodded. “You know we're at a time limit, I'll distract the tou

    Earis Beckendem High. The map ignited at Beckendem High. Thanks to Marble, obtaining the compass from Vanya was a breeze, now the location of an Atherias has been found here in Westridge. This information was supposed to lighten the air in the room, but the question of who would go still lingered. “There we have it. I love high schools, I wouldn't mind volunteering,” Louis’s voice broke the silence in the room. “I'm not supernatural so it's safe for me, but I can't go alone, and before anyone suggests I'm not going with Professor Voss,” he added before turning to me. “Earis is the perfect option, she's a hunter so this would be a breeze for her,” he barely finished saying the words before Magnus and Akira responded. “Absolutely not!” They both barked at the same time. My heart skipped a beat. What the hell is Akira doing? All this overprotectiveness might draw Magnus's attention even more. “You have to tell him, secrets only make us grow apart," Skylar hissed. Magnus turned to

  • Hunt Me, Mark Me    127. How do we prevent Armageddon?

    Earis Even though I didn't dare ask aloud, the missing words bugged me till my stomach ached. "Armageddon comes after the death of a dragon and a new…" Magnus's incomplete sentence echoed in my mind as I sank deeper into the cabin couch. The room felt impossibly crowded. Akira, Marble, Clarissa, Iris, and Louis—the faces of everyone I had seen lying lifeless in a pool of their own blood during the prophecy vision—were all seated around the central table, and the sight haunted me. They were talking strategy, survival, and the cold reality of Armageddon, yet all I could focus on was the secret Magnus was still holding. He had asked what I saw during the Chrone un Charan, which meant we both saw two different, equally terrifying scenarios.My heart hammered when Iris spoke. "No! We're keeping St Calliope's college out of this. Last time I helped you, I ended up spending millions to fix what you ruined," she retorted. Magnus gave her a patient look that chilled me more than his anger.

  • Hunt Me, Mark Me    125. Not what it seems

    Earis “What are you doing?! She's just a child!” I barked as I ran in front of her, spreading my arms open. “Earis, stay out of this. You know nothing of these creatures, they are weapons of destruction!” He snarled. “She's just five, at most six. Cicada must have done something to her to make her attack us. I know you're hurt seeing your home burn down, but please give me a chance to talk to her,” I breathed, moving towards him. “If she doesn't stop using her powers the barrier will collapse!” Akira yelped, clenching her fist and her other eyes turned bloodied.Shit! I didn't understand earlier, she must have overwhelmed herself and it was severely taking a toll on her. And right now we're straining her more. “Baby, please,” I said in a softer tone, placing my palm on his heaving chest, while my other arm went for his jaw so he would look at me. “Please let me talk to her. If it doesn't work, then we can do it your way, I promise,” I pleaded, trying to hold back my tears. A low

  • Hunt Me, Mark Me    124. It only got worse

    Earis Magnus pulled his shirt back, covering the burn so I would stop staring at it. I couldn't feel my own body, and my heart felt like it was going to explode. That was the first clue that my world was ending and crumbling around me. If I had any doubts previously, now they were all smoldered in this painfully, visible evidence. “It's nothing little wolf, dragon's fire just takes a little longer to heal,” he said trying to reassure me, but that only terrified me more. If the burn heals then it'll form a scar! Fuck! The door creaked open again and Marble and Akira walked in. “Babe, thank God you're okay. I was waiting to see you before I left,” Vanya beamed as she rushed towards Marble. And just like always the sound of smooching follows. Magnus sighed. “My lord, I have all I need to confirm if Cicada was lying about Armageddon,” Akira said as she walked towards us. “Arma… what?”“Don’t worry, I'm sure they're just the mumblings of a madman,” he said, darting his gaze away
