The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 12- Everly
It’s been exactly one week since Sebastian and I discovered each other’s secrets. It’s also exactly a week till the concert. My mind is racing with a thousand different thoughts. I can’t believe Sebastian is my soulmate. Stella informed me that she was keeping it from me because she couldn’t determine if he was a hybrid or not. Even though she wasn’t wrong about him being our soulmate, she wanted the proof that he was a hybrid first. She also wanted me to discover it on my own. Well, I did discover it on my own and then foolishly told Sebastian. I don’t know what I was hoping to gain by telling him, but he’s not even acknowledged me since that night. Everything between us is all about the concert and figuring out precisely what Levi is up to. Other than the occasional kisses, it’s like I never even told him that we are soulmates. I love when he kisses me, and I’m always disappointed when he doesn’t take things further. I can sense his hesitation, driving both Stella and me insane. I

I’m heading to the human realm to meet with Ever. It’s been a few months since we’ve seen her, and I know we are looking forward to seeing her next week. However, when she texted me asking me to come have lunch with her, I knew something was going on even if she said everything was fine. I know her. She would only contact me if something was wrong or she ran into a problem. Most parents might be insulted that their child calls upon them when they need something, but I don’t care. Ari and I raised our kids to be independent, so I know when they need us, they truly need us. I love my kids, and I’m glad they are strong and independent people, but I’m also glad they still need us. It’s nice to know that they still need us even when they are grown. Kai isn’t technically grown up as he’s only sixteen, but our kids had to grow up faster than most. It was the same for Ari and me. It’s a bit different for Ari as she grew up faster due to her parents' neglect. For Ever, Kai, and I, we all had
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 14- Sebastian
The concert is tonight, and we sort of have a plan. Ever’s Dad has agreed to help us. At first, I was irritated she went to her Dad for help. I have nothing personally against her family. I’m used to doing things on my own, and it was hard enough to let Ever help me. However, her Dad is resourceful and has found information on Mina that he will share with us tonight after the concert. I can’t argue with results, and as much as I hate to admit it, I’ve gotten nowhere. At least with her family here tonight, they might be able to figure out what’s going on exactly. Her Dad and grandfather have a lot of experience with spirits and magic. They might be able to pinpoint exactly how they are being captured. They will also be in the audience and be able to see things that I don’t usually see. Even when I’m not performing in the concert, I sometimes end up helping the orchestra or backstage. I’ve never actually sat in the audience for any of the concerts. I’ve tried, but fucking Levi counters
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 15- Everly
My nerves jump around as Levi gives his opening speech. Sebastian squeezes my hand, reassuring me. He’s slowly coming around to our soulmate bond. He’s at least more open to it, and right now, he is being a good soulmate. He’s encouraging me, and I know he is right. I can do this. At least I’m not doing this on my own. I’m doing a duet with my soulmate, and that is exciting. We get to show off together as I make my debut. We take our places, and the music starts. I keep my focus on Sebastian and drown out everyone else. I focus on him because it soothes my nerves. I pretend I’m with him rehearsing, and there aren’t hundreds of people watching us. We nailed our first performance, and I feel like I could do the second one with no problem. I quickly get changed into a new costume while the others do their songs. Sebastian and I try to look out for spirits, but being backstage, we struggle to see them. However, we both can sense them. There are at least fifty spirits here watching the
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 16- Everly
After Dad and the rest of the family leave, I head back to my room. I need a shower and to clean off all the makeup and hairspray. Sebastian heads to his room. I wish we weren’t going our own ways, but that’s how it’s always been. I don’t know if Sebastian is ready for the full effects of a relationship. I’m just glad he got along with my family and that we have been getting more physical. With any luck, we will have sex soon, and we can complete our soulmate bond by marking one another. I don’t want to push my luck, though. Sebastian is someone who clearly has never been in a relationship before, which means all the girls before me were just fuck buddies. I can live with that. Before I shower, I toss Cas a bone, so he has something to occupy him. He’s getting big, and soon, he will need to be taken out more often. When I return home, I will let him run around the woods with the other Howlers. With how fast he is growing, I’m not sure my room is big enough for him anymore. Hopefully
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 17- Sebastian
Opening my eyes, I realize I’m not in my room. There’s also someone in bed with me. Everly’s black and grey hair is sprawled over my arm and chest. I smile as I brush her wild hair from her face, so I can admire her. She’s beautiful, and she is mine. Last night was the best sex I’ve ever had and the most fun. I didn’t have to hold back with her. Usually, I have to hold back, afraid I’ll hurt whoever I’m with. However, I didn’t have to hold back with Everly, and I wasn’t scared of hurting her. She took everything I had to give like a good girl. I can’t believe I accepted the bond, and I’m willing to complete our soulmate bond. Maybe love doesn’t have to be toxic? Perhaps I’m lucky enough to have found someone who loves me for me and who can love me back. I hated watching my father pine for my mother while she went into another man's arms. A man who didn’t really love her. She neglected the man who did truly love her. I always feared love because of my parents' toxic love, but now I r
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 18- Levi
My suspicions about my brother being smitten with the lycan girl have been confirmed. Their performance was on fire, and their chemistry was clear beyond acting. I also noticed they have been spending more time together. In fact, they spent the entire day after the show together. I never thought I’d see the day that a girl would become more than a fuck toy for Sebastian. He’s always used girls for sex. At least with me, I tried to date them so they wouldn't feel used. Sebastian has never let a girl get close to him before, so I’m surprised he’s let the lycan girl get close. I’ll admit there is something about her. I was originally going to make her my next conquest and push Mina to the side. After all, we aren’t really dating. We are using each other. I’m using her for her magic to have revenge on my brother. Mina is using me to help gain her own revenge on her family because I can shoot her to stardom. Many of our students have gone off to do big and great things with their musical
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 19- Sebastian
I leave Levi’s office with unease. I don’t like that he confronted me about Everly so quickly. I expected it at some point, but not so soon, which means he’s been watching us. Did he agree to give Everly the role to see how I would react? I know I haven’t been great with hiding my interest in her, so was pushing us together for the concert a test?I don’t like it. I don’t like it one bit. I was so focused on Levi’s endgame with the spirits. I didn’t think he would be spying on Everly and me, let alone purposely push us together. No wonder he didn’t argue with Mr. Granger and me wanting to give Everly the part for the duet with me. He was fucking testing me, and I fell right into it. Everly and I tried to be discreet. I also tried to hide how I felt about her from the outside world, but I guess I wasn’t as good as I thought I was. Everly managed to bring down all my defenses without me realizing it. Levi took advantage of the situation. Damn him. I need to stop underestimating him. L

The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Epilogue- Ever
It’s been seven years since Sebastian and I officially started our lives together. We say our life together started when I pulled him out of the crystal ball. We have two adorable kids. Our son Rex is five, and our daughter Harlyn is three. They are unique kiddos, given their abilities. Sebastian and I love them dearly, and of course, my parents are thrilled to be grandparents. Sebastian and I have been helping Death with the underworld. It’s been an interesting ride working in the underworld. Death managed to build a bridge between his realm and the coven’s realm. Cerberus guards the bridge to make sure no unwanted visitors try to enter the underworld. So far, no one has had the balls to test Cerberus. Cas has been a big part of our little family. The kids love him. Sebastian and I have our own apartment across the way from my parents' place. Kai is now running the coven with his soulmate by his side. Rupert has found his familiar, and they are living a good life together. He’s in
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 32- Sebastian
My eyes flutter open. Ever pulled me out and saved me while I was able to save the other spirits that were trapped. I wasn’t able to shift. I tried the second I was out, but as I feared, I was stuck in phantom form for too long. I have no idea how long I was in there, but it was long enough for me to have trouble shifting back to human form. They got salt and forced me to shift, but when they did, I passed out. I can assume being trapped in the crystal ball weakened me to some extent. While I was able to use my skills and practice my skills, I’m sure it drained me to do it. It was worth it, though, because I was able to help the other spirits. Looking around, I realize I’m in Everly’s room, and that’s when I realize the weight that is on my arm. I find Ever curled up next to me, sleeping on my arm, which explains why it’s numb. I’m lying on my back, so I roll to my side and pull her body closer to me. There is nothing better than when she is in my arms. I’ve missed her, and I never
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 31-Ever
I wake up in my bed. I guess my parents put me in my bed after all. I’m dreading going to Death, but I know I have to do it. I can’t put it off any longer. I know he has the answer, and while I still fear what he might think, I can’t let fear get to me. Dad insists Death won’t see my mission as a failure. Maybe I am the only one who sees it as such. I wonder if Sebastian feels the same way I do? I hope Sebastian doesn’t hate me for not being able to protect him, which is a new fear I just thought of. Great. As if I need my anxiety to give me more reasons to not want to do this. Rolling out of bed I decide to procrastinate. I said I would go see Death today. I never said it would be right when I woke up. So, I take a shower. I do stink from training yesterday, and I want to feel fresh for whatever I’m about to face. Plus, a shower will perk me up. Feeling fresh and renewed is always good for the soul. I pop on the shower and let it warm up. I decide to use the shadows to quickly cha

I’m losing my mind in this prison world of the crystal ball. There is no sense of time here. No change of day or night. The sky stays the same blood red color. I don’t know if two days or an entire year have passed. There’s no way to tell, and it’s driving me insane not knowing. Not only that but I’ve never been stuck in my phantom form for this long before. I’ve only been in it for a few days, tops. I fear that I might struggle to get back to my human form if I can get back to it all. That’s the problem with any type of shifter. If they are stuck in their counterpart too long, they get stuck in animal form or whatever their other form is. I’m not technically defined as a shifter because I’m a hybrid, but the rules that apply to shifters tend to apply to me as well. The one good thing is that I have managed to find the other spirits. It took some time to find them and get them to trust me. Most of them were confused and scared. There are hundreds of them trapped here. I can save t
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 29- Ever
It’s been about a month since Sebastian got trapped in the cursed crystal ball. I still have nothing. All my research has led me nowhere. Even with Mom’s help, I’ve got nothing. Not to mention Sebastian is a hybrid, and most normal rules don’t apply to hybrids. We are unique, and the rules usually need to be bent for us. So, even if I find something doesn’t mean it would work, or I’d have to find a way to make it work for Sebastian. To add to the complications, he’s also the only hybrid of his kind. I’m beyond frustrated. It’s starting to look like going to Death is my only real option. I’m still not sure I can face the embracement of my failure yet. I need to, though, if I want to save my soulmate. I’m still spiraling and pushing myself past my limits. Kai kindly tried to remind me that I need to not push myself, but I can’t help it. The training and research are the only things keeping me sane, or at least that’s how it feels. Besides feeling like a failure, I realized my gut w
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 28- Zane
Everything is a diaster. I know it’s temporary, but that doesn’t change the fact that a shit storm has hit. Cade is fucking mess. Dad and I tried talking to him about letting me take over for him, so he could get himself together, but that stubborn asshole wouldn't step down. He was being difficult, and of course, right as he’s throwing a tantrum like a toddler, I get a message from Everly that she needs me. I knew it was serious, and I tried to leave right away, but Cade started beating Dad. I’ve never seen Cade be violent towards anyone he cares about or really be violent in general. Cade always prided himself on being a goody two shoes. He’s never killed anyone, and while he is powerful, he’s never been skilled with combat. His combat skills are very basic, and no one ever trusted him in the field by himself. On the other hand, Rupert is very good with his combat and is skilled. I could have left Blaine. I know he could handle himself, but I didn’t want to risk it. He’s older and
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 27- Ever
It’s been a few weeks since Sebastian got trapped in the crystal ball. The damn thing is sitting on my nightstand, and I practically take it everywhere with me in determination to save him. Guilt, hate, and depression have all crept in over the last few weeks. I hate that I couldn’t protect him long enough. That I couldn’t hold Stella off from transforming. She and I have been at odds because I blame her. If she hadn’t forced the transformation, Sebastian would still be here. I know Stella feels guilty like I do, and I know it’s not totally her fault. However, I need someone else to blame other than myself. Okay, technically, Stella is a part of me, and so blaming her is still blaming myself, but whatever that’s semantics that I’m in no mood for. I’m not mad or upset with Dad, even though I know he feels guilty for not showing up on time. Apparently, he and Grandpa were trying to get Cade out of his ass. They were talking to him about giving up leadership to Dad since Uncle Cade
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 26- Sebastian
I hated that I fell right into Levi’s trap. That asshole wanted me to transform. Ever protected me, but I hated that I couldn’t help her. I couldn’t fight alongside her. I was stuck being protected by her shadows while she struggled. I knew she was strong, and I could watch her through the shadows as she dodged Levi. She is skilled, but I could tell Levi was provoking Stella. Ever was trying to get Mina to break her cast, but the damn bitch wouldn’t give up. She held on longer than either of us thought as the cast was destroying her body. Mina would have rather died than dropped the cast. Levi was doing everything he could to distract Ever from her cast, but her resolve was stronger. However, the physical attacks were provoking Stella to shift. Ever did her best to control Stella, but in the end, Stella won and shifted, which caused Ever to drop her shadow barrier. The Moment the crystal ball's red light touched me, I knew it was over. Zane showed up at the last minute, so I at lea
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 25- Ever
Things went so much better than expected with visiting Death. I can’t believe he wants us to help him run the underworld. Well, help Dad run the underworld. It’s no secret that Death has been grooming Dad to take over for him. Dad’s been resistant to the idea of fully taking over for Death. Secretly Dad enjoys running the underworld. He might not have liked it at first, but he likes it now. I think the reason he doesn’t want to fully take over full time is he would have to live there, and there is no way Mom would ever be comfortable in the underworld. Maybe there is a solution to that problem. After all, Dad can teleport using the shadows, but there has to be an easier way. Hopefully, Dad figures it out because I’m not raising my family in the underworld. Working there is one thing, but living there is something else entirely. That’s all in the future. Right now, we are saying goodbye to my family before we head back to the academy. Sebastian and I are eager to get this mission ov
