All Chapters of The Devourer: A Vampire's Curse: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Raina’s POVNina and Liam were already awake when I gasped, my eyes flying open like I’d been yanked out of a nightmare. My heart hammered against my ribs as I reached for my side, expecting searing pain—expecting the blade to still be lodged there.But there was nothing.“I pulled it out when I woke up,” Liam’s voice called lazily from across the room.I whipped my head toward him. He was lounging at a corner, sitting on the floor like we hadn’t just been stabbed and knocked out, twirling the blade between his fingers like it was some kind of toy.My scowl deepened. “It’s official. I'm going to kill Silas.”“Raina—” Liam started.“No.” I jabbed a finger in his direction as I pushed myself upright. “There’s no coming back from stabbing me. None. I’m putting him at the top of the list.”Liam ran a hand down his face, exhaling like I was giving him a migraine. “No one’s killing anyone for now”“Watch me,” I muttered.His gaze snapped to mine. “Raina.”I rolled my eyes. “Fine. But I wond

Raina’s povThe wolves emerged like they had been part of the forest all along, slipping out of the mist and shadow until there was nowhere to look without seeing amber eyes watching you.They weren’t in uniform, no pelts or battle gear, just jeans, boots, hoodies, and worn jackets—yet they carried themselves like soldiers. Their steps barely bent the pine needles beneath them, and their bodies seemed coiled with unspent energy.They smelled different—more like earth, leaves and life—unlike the copper-and-petrichor tang I’d grown used to since learning what vampires really were. Liam and the leader were already talking, their low voices carrying just enough for me to catch the cadence but not the words. I didn’t care enough to listen in. The pack members stood loosely around us, their posture relaxed on the surface, but their eyes tracked everything.My pulse wasn’t the one racing, but something in my chest still felt tight. Maybe it was instinct. Maybe it was the way the leader’s ga

Raina’s POV “He’s onto me. I almost want to tell him, but I can’t,” I sighed as I walked beside Judy toward the tent the wolves had provided for us. “Why? He’s been in love with you since heaven knows when.” “Not anymore.” I collapsed on one of the tent beds. “He’s in love with Raina now, not me.” Judy laughed. “Girl, that’s you. Mel. Raina. Same thing.” I shook my head. “It’s not. Have you heard the difference between the way he talks about Mel and the way he talks about Raina?” “I don’t know. I’d say he’s in love with Raina because she looks like Mel, which still backs up my statement earlier.” She took my hand in hers. “I’m sorry for what I did—you know why I had to. But it’s not too late to get back your old life now that you remember.” “No. It’s not too late. But things have changed. I don’t want my old life back. I don’t want him to think I’m the emotionless vampire who killed and slaughtered people for fun. I’ve changed, Judy. Other than Silas and Ian, I don’t want to de

Raina’s povWhen Judy tugged me away from the fire earlier, I caught the flicker of Liam’s eyes on us. It was not the first time. He had been watching me differently since we came here, suspicion hidden beneath the surface of his calm. Part of me wanted to reassure him, but another part liked keeping him guessing. After all, I was not the fragile girl he thought he had to protect.“Come on,” Judy whispered, pulling me behind one of the larger tents where the shadows hid us from the others. “If anyone sees us, they’ll think we’re plotting some wicked scheme.”“Are we not?” I asked, raising a brow.Judy smirked, her fangs flashing before she tucked them away. “Not the kind you’re thinking. Trust me, this will be worth it.”She crouched down and pulled a handful of pebbles from a pouch at her waist, arranging them carefully on the ground in a crooked circle. At first, I thought she was sketching out some kind of ritual, something witch-like that she must have picked up from Ysra. But the

Raina’s POVTiana’s smile stayed fixed, cruel and smug as she held Ysra suspended like a puppet. My stomach twisted, disbelief clawing through me.“How?” I forced out, my voice cracking. “You were human. You had no power. How are you doing this?”Her eyes found mine, alight with wicked pride. “It’s the perks of being a vampire clan leader’s favorite. Especially when he happens to have a clever little scientist who’s been saving us a great deal of trouble. Experimentation is such tedious work… but when it pays off?” She lifted Ysra higher, her limbs jerking in the invisible grip. “Well, I’m living proof of that success.”My pulse hammered. “Dr. Velma,” Liam growled beside me, his voice low, dangerous. “Where is she?”Tiana’s lips curved like a blade. “Don’t worry, she’s in good hands. And so will Ysra be. Soon enough.”She yanked Ysra closer as if claiming her. Ysra let out a strangled cry, her nails clawing at the air. Something snapped inside me. I didn’t think. I just moved.I launc
