Chapter eight

Corvan

I’ve had a lot to think about lately.

Firstly—what Eliza and I have is once-in-a-lifetime. Undeniable. She is mine and I am hers and I’ll be damned if I let her get away from me. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life missing these few days I’ve had with her. I’d rather be creating more memories with her at my side.

But.

I still have her to worry about. Her life. Her career. Her reputation. All things that would be affected if my name was tied to hers. But I refuse to give in to the idea of Eliza and I being anything but together. I’ll figure out a way to make her mine, forever.

It does, unfortunately, start with spending every spare second we’re near shore in my raven form to try to figure out who’s been following me.

It’s too risky and too suspicious to be shifted out in the middle of the ocean, but at least when we’re near land, people don’t think twice about my presence. Ravens live all across the globe, after all. Spotting one just a little way from the coast isn’t exactly noteworthy.

Thanks to my raven blood and the heightened senses it gives me, I’ve got a better idea of what I’m looking for than most would. I remember something about their smell hidden underneath the salty ocean water scent that surrounded the whole boat. Something more like smoke, smog. Pollution. They’d been far enough back that even my sharpened eyesight hadn’t been able to make out specific details about their face, but I still remembered the way they walked. Almost with a shyness to their steps, as if they were afraid of being seen. As if maybe they were used to hiding, to trying to be a nobody, and this wasn’t their first time blending into the background. Or trying to, anyway.

Lastly, I was now sure that they were a woman. One with blonde hair. Which, yeah, ruled out some people—but there were a lot of blonde-haired women on this boat. If that was all I was going off of, I’d be fucked.

It’s the white that she’d been wearing that really cleared things up for me. It had taken me a while to place why that had rang a bell somewhere deep in my mind, and longer still until the pieces had really snapped together.

Everyone working at the bar Eliza and I had met on the first day wore all white. Maybe if I’d been able to focus on anything other than her that night, I would have realized it sooner. It also explained why I’d only seen her following us in the early mornings—the bar was closed then. It was probably the only time she’d get the chance to spy on us. Me.

So I’d go to the bar, then.

Another advantage of my raven form—I was small, and covered in dark feathers. If I could find shadows, I could go unnoticed.

Which was exactly what I did. Behind the bar, tucked in behind the ice maker, I was invisible.
