Crooked Crows Novels & Stories

Kai counters. “Enough, Kai. We can worry about diaper duty when the time comes. Now, let's enjoy our breakfast, and then it’s time for me to take you to get your marking, Ever.” Dad shuts down Kai’s whine fest. How could I have forgotten the marking? I can’t wait to have my mark of the coven on my back like the rest of the official members. It’s a crow sitting on top of a skull with shadows swirling around it. It’s totally badass, and I’ve been dreaming about the Moment I get mine.

The moon above it was veiled, as if even the heavens refused to witness its ritual. A deep breath, slow and measured. It raised one hand, fingers long and skeletal, lined with silver markings that shimmered faintly. With a flick, it whispered something in a language not spoken for a thousand years—“Invoco noctem corvus.” A gust of cold wind cut through the woods, scattering leaves in spirals. Then came the sound—a fluttering, slow at first, then loud and rhythmic, like thunder in disguise. From the shadowed sky descended a crow, its feathers a sheen of obsidian and ink, eyes burning with something too intelligent to be natural. It circled once before landing before the figure, wings folding

“Jackson?!” I had a bad feeling about this. I was all alone in a dark meadow field with nothing but the dozens of crows hovering above in a circle. I look up when one of the crows grew louder than the others. I could swear that the crow looked straight at me, it's large red eyes staring right through me as his crowing echos loudly in the open space. The crows then swoop down, heading for my direction. I close my eyes and shield my face from them, feeling their wings hitting me all over as I feel them fly right past me.

She didn't really have a clue in her heart. Crows are a kind of flocking animal, they practice monogamy, and after a successful pairing, they will set up a large territory for themselves, and then spend their whole life to maintain their territory, including the birth of children, the parents will raise the young birds, and the young birds will feed the old crows when they grow up. So if Mu Zi takes Sae away, it means that Sae's large family will have to follow Mu Zi to a new environment.

His eyes are wide and he looks at a loss for words, like he can't believe what just happened. The crow caws again, and I spin around, waiting for another attack. Todd steps in front of me. The crow studies us with a black, beady eye. He hops to the edge of the table, opens his beak, and caws shrilly again. Todd lobs the book across the room. The book clips the crow, and it takes to the air, flying back into the bathroom and out an open window, disappearing into the night.

But they had made it this far and Lucas knew it was only a matter of time before he finally found his mate again. They had been tracking Rivers for most of the morning when they came across the grisly scene in a small clearing. The old hunting cabin had definitely seen better days and the empty beer bottles and smouldering fire pit gave away what the occupants had been doing right before they met their end. The scent of blood was hanging heavily in the air and almost masked the scent of burning wood. The snow around the fire pit was married with shoe prints and what appeared to be a scuffle.

That's when I learned the renowned Brooke Group belonged to him — and the convenience store where I'd just started working was one of his businesses. Jonathan had been framed by relatives and spent three years in prison. He could have gotten out sooner, but he used that absence to conceal his strength. While different branches of the Brooke family tore each other apart, he waited in the shadows, then reemerged to collect the spoils and eventually unify the whole group. That he was the one behind the empire stunned me. I had not expected to run into Luke at the gala. I arrived with Jonathan at my side, and my presence set tongues wagging. Some called me Jonathan's friend; others whispered I m

Dixon informed in a grim tone. “ The only thing he will get is his own dick up his throat. ” I uttered harshly. “ We can not do that unless we have the Crowsel, Alpha. ” He chuckled. I shot him a glare, and he instantly raised his hands in the air, surrendering. “ Your words, not mine. ” Crowsel, the fucking crown was the whole problem. If only I knew where it was…that dog Cadamus and his family would be lying somewhere, getting their bodies eaten by coyotes and vultures.

“You’re such a good little slut for me now.” I was close again, riding him faster, losing myself in the stretch and the heat and the way he filled me so perfectly. His dirty words pushed me closer. “That’s it, Kara. Cream all over your brother’s cock…” The front door suddenly unlocked with a loud click. We both froze. I was balls-deep on him, dripping down his shaft, right on the edge of coming. Damon’s hand tightened on my hip. Footsteps. Keys jingling. A vacuum starting in the foyer.

Slowing to come beside him, he reached out and nudged Grub’s thick forearm with his knuckles, “Hey Grub, you all good?” Grub seemed to jolt at the contact, and he instinctively reached into his sleeve he kept his dagger and slid it free. Once his eyes came back into focus, Rex could see he recognised him, and the man visibly relaxed, Rex could see Dilo and Kealy also noticed Grub’s reaction and stood ready to act standing close behind him. “Grub is sorry, bone god has many crows here, and they all looking down on Grub.
