“Breathe.” Raven mutters
“I’m not dead am I” I snap “So I’m obviously breathing!” I stop in my tracks, realising how much of an ass I sounded.
Looking over my shoulder, I see the hurt in her eyes. She was just trying to help.
The darkness had a grip so tight on my heart that it was making it hard to think about those around me, unless it was my sons.
“I’m sorry.” I mutter. Hoping she knew that I did truly mean my apology
“It’s happening isn’t it? You are slipping.”
“I… I’m trying not to.”
My eyes drift down to my fingers as I carefully feel over the tips. The growing claws had felt so bad and so good at the same time. Like a release of built up pressure. Is that how Salem felt?
“You need to talk about it. Remember what Mallory said, you need to look at the bigger picture to see that there is more than what is happening in the moment. To make it all make sense.”
I roll my eyes. Mallory and her theories. Though I have to admit, they were helping a little, even if I still didn’t trust her.
“So tell me again what miss lookalike said.”
“Raven….”
She cocks a brow and folds her arms. “She told me we share the same father.” I repeat again.
“But you don’t believe that?”
“I believed Devon more than her. And look how that ended.”
“Bigger picture.” She mutters
“No, I don't believe it. I couldn’t feel her, I couldn’t sense her other than knowing what she is. It’s hard to explain."
“Try.” She smiles at me
“With Jess, I could feel her presence. The same with Damien and…. Mallory. With the other bitten ones. I could feel their fear when they realised they couldn’t fight me and my orders. There was even a tiny bit of recognition from Salem, but her, there is nothing. She looked at me with those big brown puppy eyes but do you know what she reminded me of?”
Raven shakes her head. “The way Trey used to look at me. It wasn’t even hate, it was more than that. It was like I was something he stood in and scraped off on the grass. And that’s exactly what I felt when she looked at me.”

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...
I love this book!!!...

I love the way you are continuing the story. It's easy to follow, easy to pause, and easy to get back on track with. Me having three little children, it's hard to find "me time" but when I do I get caught up with this book. I love it!!!!...
