All Chapters of The Coven of the Crow and Shadows : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Today is one of those days; please give me a reason to set shit on fire. You know the kind of days where you have zero fucks left to give as your world crumbles around you at the betrayal of your family. My parents didn’t just betray me, though. They also betrayed our entire pack. I’m locked up in a prison cell for my safety because I’m guilty by association. I had nothing to do with them helping the rogues attack our pack, but the pack doesn’t care. My parents might be dead, but my fate has yet to be decided. I’m in defense mode. My aggression is coursing through my veins; it’s what wolfsbane does to werewolves. It suppresses our wolves and brings forth our aggression. Werewolves are naturally aggressive. Well, wolfsbane makes it feel like we are on crack. I’m practically foaming at the mouth, wanting to rip someone apart. It’s why they have me in silv

Zane whispers words in a language I don’t understand. Suddenly, black smoke with a life of its own wraps around us. Chills run up and down my spine as goosebumps show on my arms. It’s cold, and I realize it’s not smoke. It’s a fucking shadow with glowing amber eyes. What the fuck kind of warlock is Zane? The one thing I didn’t ask him was what his coven practiced. The shadows envelop us, and the cold is now accompanied by an extreme suction feeling as if I’m surrounded by tons of industrial fans. It’s intense, and I find nausea creeping up my throat. One minute we are in the cell; the next, we are standing on the grounds of a vast dark gray and black manor. The manor is unusual. It almost seems never-ending. I look to the overcast sky that almost appears to have an oily sheen. The stone pathways are lined with statues of black crows. The crow's eyes glow much

I have a sobering thought as I slip the robe on and tie it. What if my pack was never my home? I hate them for cursing me to this life. Resentment builds within me against my pack, parents, and even Sage. She should have tried to keep me in the pack. Instead, she let Liam give me to Zane like I was a piece of property to be traded. Everything worked out perfectly for Zane, but what about me? I’m doomed to be in this creepy mansion, forced to become a familiar to a warlock I just met. Yeah, this is not how I pictured today going. Not at all. I thought today would be a dull day helping Sage with her Luna shit, but Fate decided to dump a giant bowl of molten lava on my life, melting away everything I knew and loved. Thanks, Fate, you asshole. Blair comes to get me, and I find myself walking down another long hallway. We come to black double doors. The doors open. I realize that Blair is in a long

Blinking my eyes open, I roll over to find the warm body of Ari lying next to me. I don’t think she meant to move close to me in her sleep. When we fell asleep last night, she was as far away from me as she could get without falling off the bed. Now she’s right next to me. Ari is curled under the comforter. Only her head peeks out. I brush some of the hair out of her face as she’s on her side facing me. Ari is beautiful with her black wavy hair. Her hair has natural gray highlights that blend perfectly into her dark hair. It almost creates a smokey effect, especially with natural light waves. She has an ivory complexion. Her dark blue eyes with a hint of violet around the irises pull her appearance together. Her nice sized boobs, sweet little curves, and cute ass only add to her appeal. I also love that she has the cartilage of her right ear pierced with a black hoop earring. She&rs

After breakfast, we head down to the outdoor training grounds. The field soldiers I help train are waiting for me in a perfect line. Ari follows behind me. She’s taking everything in. Those in my class are dressed like me. Ari stands slightly behind me on my right side. I stand in front of my twenty or so students. “Morning. I’m sure many of you have heard, I’ve found my familiar. This is Ari, and she is a lycan. Today my focus is going to be on her. I want you all to pair off and run field training drills. If you need me, I’ll be off to the side with Ari as we work on getting her trained for the field. I expect all of you to behave.” “Yes, Master.” They say in unison. I lightly grab Ari’s upper arm and lead her off to the side. “I figured
