All Chapters of The Coven of the Crow and Shadows: Ghost Opera: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Tonight is the night of our dreaded triple date. When Sebastian told me last week what Levi was trying to pull, I wasn’t happy. I was delighted to finally tell Avia and Zela that Sebastian and I are a couple. It feels wonderful to tell people that we are together. I was tired of hiding, but I understand why Sebastian was hesitant to make our relationship public. He was afraid of what Levi would do. Sebastian worries that Levi is going to use me against him. Sebastian was safer when I wasn’t around because now I’m his weakness. A weakness his enemy can use against him. It sucks, and it makes us both concerned. Levi already tried to get us alone, but Sebastian was able to counter him, this time at least. We have to be careful. We both are walking on eggshells around the academy. After tonight, we leave to head to the coven’s realm. My Mom is expecting my little sister any day now. She’s going a little earlier than expected, which is a good thing because Sebastian and I get a little br

We’ve been in the coven’s realm for almost a week now. Ever’s family is fantastic. They have welcomed me into their family, and for once, it’s nice to feel like I actually have a family. Ever and her brother are hilarious with their interactions. They love busting on each other, but they also care deeply about one another. Part of me wishes I had that type of relationship with Levi. Still, I know our family is very different from hers. It’s good her family is so different from mine. I also love the coven’s realm. Everly gave me a tour, and I could honestly enjoy living here. It’s right up my alley with weird vibes, gothic and victorian style, the training ground is impressive, and I’ve used it with Ever. Her brother, cousin, and Dad even joined us. Seeing Ever in her wolf form, which I learned is named Stella, was impressive. Stella is a fierce animal, but Kai’s wolf, on the hand, is intimidating as fuck. I was sure to stay clear of Shade. I knew he wouldn't hurt me, but fuck, tha

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

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

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
