The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 7- Sebastian
Everly Shaodws is an interesting girl. She’s a lycan, but I sense there is more to her than meets the eye. She’s incredibly beautiful with her unique hair color and swirling grey eyes. She’s about a head and a half shorter than me. Everly has clearly captured my brother's attention, and how could she not with her beauty. Levi has a thing for supernatural girls. His current conquest and current star is Mina. She’s a witch, and I don’t trust her. I mainly don’t trust her because she is obsessed with Levi and how he can skyrocket her to fame. She’s using him, and I have no doubt he is using her. I wouldn't be surprised if they are working together to capture the spirits that come here for peace, only to be imprisoned. I have no proof, of course, but I’m working on gathering it. My father, Erik Octavian, told spirits to come here to listen to the music back when this place was still an opera house. He knew the music would soothe their weary souls. My father was special. He spent his li
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 8-Everly
I’ve been at the music academy for about a month now. I’m enjoying myself. I’ve made two friends. Zela, who is a jin, and Avia, who is a harpy. They are in a relationship and totally fun to be around. Harpies are a type of shifter, so Avia stays in her human form since her harpy form scares the humans. I’ve noticed the humans at the academy are skittish. They buy into every horror and ghost story. They believe the opera house is haunted and are easily freaked out. I can always sense sulfur, and I’ve found some traces of ectoplasm. There is at least one spirit that constantly roams the opera house, and I assume it’s what the students have labeled the Phantom. I haven’t been able to spot the damn spirit, but others have. It’s almost as if the spirit is avoiding me, which I’m not sure is possible. In all my training with Dad, not once did we come across a spirit that could avoid us on purpose. Dad never even mentioned that being possible and he spent years meticulously training me.In b
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 9- Levi
I’m sitting in my office going over the academy's finances and paying the bills. I hate doing the grunt work, but I don’t trust anyone else with this. Especially don’t trust my brother. He’s a freak of nature who should have never been born. His filthy father stole my mother’s innocence. He seduced her and impregnated her with a freak show. No matter, soon I will have the problem rectified. “How fucking dare you give my part to that lycan bitch!” Mina storms into my office, screaming at me like a fucking banshee. “Calm down, Mina. I have my reasons. One, I didn’t want you doing a song with my brother. Two, I think the lycan and my brother have a thing for each other, and if they do, then pushing them together might work to my advantage. I’ve waited years to find my brother's fucking weakness, and now I might have just found it in the pretty little lycan girl. Besides, there is something more than meets the eye with Everly.” “Are you attracted to her?”“Mina, you know you are the on
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 10- Everly
Over the last few weeks, I’ve tracked the spirit to the opera house basement. It took me some time to track the spirit and then find the damn basement entrance. You would think it would be easy to find, but it was kept secret, and I had to search the entire fucking opera house with shadows to find the damn entrance. It wasn’t easy either because the opera house is always active. Tonight, I plan to teleport to the basement entrance and finally reap the spirit. I want it gone by the time my family comes to visit for the performance. I want to tie off this rogue mission with a pretty little bow. I don’t want my parents to find out I went on a rogue mission, so it’s better to end it before they get here in a few weeks. However, I can’t do anything about it right now. Right now, I have rehearsal with Sebastian. Levi added a second song. We will start the concert with ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ and end it with ‘The Point of No Return’. I won’t lie. It’s been fun and intense rehearsing wi
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 11- Sebastian
When my alarms went off to alert me that someone had entered my den, I never expected it to be Everly. I thought a couple of drunk kids got in again. I was in the middle of rearranging shit in Mr. Granger’s classroom to fuck with him. I was having fun, so I was annoyed when I had to come back here. What surprised me even more, was that Everly had a war scythe and tried to reap my soul. I knew she was hiding something. She’s hiding the fact that she belongs to the Coven of the Crow and Shadows. The same coven who took my father away from me. Now that I didn’t see coming. However, the pure look of shock on her face when she realized I was a hybrid was priceless. “Nothing to say, Little Reaper?” I taunt, letting go of her hand with her war scythe. “You’re a hybrid.” She states with shock. “I could say the same thing about you. Pure lycan, my ass. You’re also a witch and work for Death’s coven.” I reply, and her eyes widen even more. “Given the fact that your last name is Shadows mean
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
The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera Chapter 13- Zane
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 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
