last update 게시일: 2025-07-15 20:21:26

Zenith’s POV

I’m just rinsing the brushes when I hear the knock. Three soft taps. Then a pause. Then two more. I glance at Alejandro. He stills, head tilting slightly, eyes narrowing. Wolf-mode activates. “No one should be visiting,” he murmurs. “Not here.” My stomach tightens.

He reaches the door first, his hand hovering near the concealed blade drawer, one he thinks I haven’t noticed. He opens the door halfway. And then blinks. “…Mrs. Valencia?” I rush forward. “Mama?” There they are, both m

  • The Haven Of Shadows    The Excavation

    Alejandro Malachai was digging. That was worse than any message he could have sent. Koa pulled up the excavation records while Eamon studied the photograph. “How long has Meridian been working there?”“Fourteen months.”I looked at him. “Fourteen?”“That's the registered date.”Eamon's expression hardened. “Which means?”“They may have started earlier.”Asterion remained fixed on the image. “It's underneath a human facility.”“Yes.”“Then they don't know what they're standing on.”I looked at him. “Are you sure?”“No.” He touched the screen without actually touching the image. “I remember this place differently.”“How?”“Above ground.” That caught my attention.“What did it look like?”“A city.” He closed his eyes. “Stone towers. Open courtyards. Water everywhere. People moving between buildings.”“Humans?”“Yes.”“Supernatural?”“Yes.”“T

  • The Haven Of Shadows    The Encirclement

    Alejandro The question stayed on the screen long after the third anchor stopped transmitting.DO YOU?I did not answer it. Not because I was afraid of the question. Because I had learned what happened when ancient things were given answers they had not earned.Koa zoomed in on the three human cities.“Meridian units are moving into position.”“How many civilians?”“Approximately four million across all three.”“Evacuation routes?”“Being blocked.”“By whom?”“Local authorities.”I stared at the map. “Authorities ordered the closures?”“Yes.”“Under what authority?”Koa's expression tightened. “Keeper authorization.” There it was again. My name.Someone was using it to make humans imprison themselves. “Send the correction.”“I already did.”“And?”“They rejected it.”“Why?”“They say your authorization has higher clearance.”

  • The Haven Of Shadows    The City That Emerged

    Alejandro The third anchor had activated. Not awakened. Activated. I had learned the difference.The signal rose from somewhere beneath the eastern mountains and travelled through the ancient structure with a force that made every supernatural being around me instinctively fall silent. Koa's screen filled with shifting lines. “It's not behaving like the second.”“How?”“The second was absorbing pressure. The third is redirecting it.”“To where?”He hesitated. Then the map changed. “Toward the unknown conduit.”Eamon's expression darkened. “The scar.”I nodded. Asterion was still staring at the map. “The city.”I turned to him. “You're certain?”“No.”He looked almost angry with himself. “I remember streets. Towers. A river running through the centre.”His fingers pressed against his temple. “There were wolves there. Vampires. Witches. Humans.”“Humans?

  • The Haven Of Shadows    The Third Anchor

    Alejandro The golden word remained beneath Malachai's invitation. ...NO. I stared at it. Inferno had not moved. Neither had the earth. Yet every supernatural being around me had felt the answer.Lucien looked toward the trees. “That wasn't you.”“No.”Asterion's expression had gone pale. “I know that mark.”Eamon turned sharply. “You've seen it before?”“Not the word.” Asterion crouched beside the inscription without touching it. “The shape.”I looked down. There was a faint circle around the gold lettering, broken in three places. Asterion traced the pattern in the air.“It appeared once before the Hollow Arc reached my village.”Inferno's presence pressed against my consciousness. "Do not follow that memory." Asterion immediately withdrew his hand. I studied him. “What happened after you saw it?” He looked at the thousands of people behind us. “Nothing.”“That doesn't sou

  • The Haven Of Shadows    The Convoy

    Alejandro I was already moving before Koa finished pulling up the route. “Where are Lucien and Kael?”“Six minutes from the convoy.”“Human authorities?”“Eight.”“Then they have two minutes.”Zenith caught my arm. “You're going.” It wasn't a question. “Yes.” Her eyes searched mine. “You said this was about protecting people, not chasing Malachai.”“It is.”“Then don't let him turn you into the weapon he expects.” I looked at Caelan sleeping against her. “I won't.” She released my arm.“Bring them home.”Those words followed me as I left. Not win. Not defeat him. Bring them home. The difference mattered.Koa was waiting beside the command vehicle. “Aegis has mapped the convoy.”“How many people?”“Three thousand eight hundred and twelve patients. Twenty-six vehicles. Forty-three security personnel.”“Forty-three?”“Meridian contractors.”

  • The Haven Of Shadows    The Borrowed Name

    Alejandro The word remained on the screen...KEEPER. It should have meant me. Instead, it had become bait. Koa enlarged the transmission until the signature filled the monitor. “Can you trace it?” I asked him. “I can trace the infrastructure that delivered it. The message itself is being routed through twelve different systems.”“Human?”“Mostly. There are two encrypted layers I don't recognize.”Asterion stepped closer. “Ancient?”Koa looked at him. “I don't know.” Inferno answered before anyone else could. "Not ancient." I turned toward him. “What, then?”"Something taught to imitate the ancient." The room changed. Not physically. But everyone understood what that meant.Malachai wasn't merely exploiting our network. He was learning its language. He had seen the connection between Aegis, Blood Craft and the recognition network. He had watched how people were protected when t

  • The Haven Of Shadows    Something About Him

    Zenith’s POVThe storm has come in full. Rain lashes the windows, steady but unrelenting. The wind moans low through the eaves, like the house itself is trying to say something it cannot quite form into words.I lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, wide awake. I brought a complete stranger home toni

  • The Haven Of Shadows    The Silence Between Us

    Zenith’s POVHis touch is not rough, but it is firm and ntentional. It is not how strangers touch each other, especially not after everything that just happened. But something about him... I don't know. It settles my nerves instead of spiking them.We walk in silence. Only the sound of our steps cr

  • The Haven Of Shadows    Finally Found Her

    Alejandro's POVThank the goddess, I have finally found my mate. Zenith. It has a nice ring to it. Unique, just like her. I do not know if I would have lived until the next sunrise, had I not accidentally found my mate. It has been a gruelling three years and only the goddess knows how I managed t

  • The Haven Of Shadows    Mate?

    Zenith's POV Here I am, minding my own business, when suddenly, a pair of strong arms forcefully pull me into an almost suffocating embrace, from behind. I did not see him. I felt him, like a shadow wrapping around my spine before the arms ever touched me. From his strong physique to the restless
