Evryn's heart skipped a beat, her pulse racing as the voice echoed through the stillness. It wasn’t just a whisper, it was a haunting, familiar presence that curled through her thoughts like a cold wind. The darkness around her seemed to deepen, and for a moment, she was paralyzed by the weight of the words, the very essence of the shadow’s return clinging to the air like smoke.

She turned slowly, her body trembling as she scanned the surroundings, half expecting the familiar figure to emerge from the shadows of the rift she had just sealed. She couldn’t be sure, but there was something in the way the air shimmered, a faint ripple of energy that betrayed its presence. And then, a silhouette appeared—a figure, tall and imposing, standing at the edge of the fading light. The outline was unmistakable.

"No…" Evryn whispered, taking a step backward. "It can’t be."

But the figure did not move, their presence seemingly anchored in time, frozen in place. The air around them seemed to twist, as if reality itself were bending under their power. It was a presence that Evryn knew all too well, but one she had hoped never to face again.

"It’s me, Evryn," the voice said softly, almost tenderly. "I told you this wasn’t over."

A chill swept over her, like a sudden gust of wind cutting through the stillness. She couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think. Her mind was a whirlwind of confusion and fear. It was him. The one she had believed to be lost forever—the one who had once betrayed her, and whose disappearance had haunted her every waking moment.

"No…"

It couldn’t be him. She had sealed the door. She had done everything. She had stopped the shadow. There was no way he could have returned—no way he could have survived.

The figure took a step forward, the darkness parting around them like a veil. Their eyes, glowing with a strange intensity, fixed on Evryn. A familiar, unsettling smile curled at the corners of their lips.

"You think you’ve won?" the figure asked, their voice dripping with bitterness. "You think closing that door has ended this?"

Evryn’s breath caught in her throat as recognition hit her like a hammer. It was him—Kieran Volk. The alpha of the Abyss Pack. The man who had once been her everything and, at the same time, the reason for her downfall. The very same man she had thought lost to the depths of the abyss, never to return.

"No," she whispered again, her voice shaking, barely able to comprehend what was happening. "This isn’t possible. You’re—"

"Alive?" Kieran finished for her, stepping closer, the shadows swirling around him like a protective cloak. "You thought you sealed the door, Evryn. You thought you could keep me out. But you were wrong."

Evryn stumbled back, her mind racing. The emotions surged within her—betrayal, anger, confusion—but most of all, an overwhelming sense of dread. How was he here? How was he standing before her, after everything that had happened?

"But I saw you fall," Evryn breathed, her voice barely audible as she struggled to keep herself composed. "I saw what happened. You were gone."

Kieran’s smile deepened, but there was no joy in it, only darkness, a twisted mockery of everything she once knew. "You saw what I wanted you to see, Evryn. You think the abyss claimed me? You think that was the end of the story? No. It was just the beginning."

His words hung in the air like a slow poison, sinking into her very soul. She felt the ground beneath her shift again, like the earth itself was no longer stable, no longer trustworthy.

"You were always so naive," Kieran continued, his voice now colder than ice. "You closed the door, but you never truly understood the force you were dealing with. The shadow was only a part of it. The truth is, you were never meant to stop it. You were meant to open it."

Evryn’s heart pounded in her chest as the full weight of his words slammed into her. She couldn’t grasp it. None of this made sense. Everything she had done, every sacrifice she had made—it had all been for nothing?

"What do you mean?" Evryn demanded, her voice rising with urgency. "What are you saying?"

Kieran’s eyes glinted with something dark, something that made her blood run cold. "I wasn’t the one who betrayed you, Evryn. I was the one who was betrayed."

She flinched at his words, the hurt from her past threatening to overtake her. "What are you talking about?" she asked, her voice growing desperate. "You betrayed me, Kieran. You left me to die. You abandoned me."

He stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. "And that was the plan all along. You never knew the truth about who you are, Evryn. You were always meant to be part of something greater than yourself. But you couldn’t see it, could you?"

The words hit her like a slap, and her breath caught in her throat. She had spent years seeking the truth, piecing together the fragments of her past. She had believed the lies, believed Kieran’s betrayal, but now… now everything she thought she knew was crumbling before her.

"The truth is," Kieran continued, his voice soft but filled with a dangerous edge, "you were never meant to be human. You were never meant to be part of this world."

Evryn’s world tilted on its axis, her mind unable to fully comprehend what he was saying. She stepped back, shaking her head, her breath coming in shallow gasps. "No… this doesn’t make sense. You’re lying."

"Am I?" Kieran’s voice was laced with a cruel smile. "You’ve been running from the truth your entire life, Evryn. But now it’s here. You’re a part of something far darker than you ever imagined. The rift you sealed? It was never meant to be closed. You were the key to unlocking it."

The ground beneath her feet trembled, and Evryn stumbled, barely keeping herself upright. The air around them seemed to close in, thick with the force of Kieran’s words, the weight of everything he had just revealed. The shadow that had once threatened to engulf her wasn’t just a force of darkness—it was a part of her, a part of something much bigger than anything she had imagined.

Her heart raced. She had to make sense of this, had to understand what he was talking about. But her mind was clouded, overwhelmed by the enormity of what he had just said. Was it possible? Could everything she had believed about herself—about her past—be a lie?

"No," she said again, more forcefully this time, as she took a step forward, her hands clenched into fists. "I won’t listen to you. I’ll stop this."

Kieran’s eyes darkened, a shadow flickering across his face. "You don’t have a choice anymore, Evryn. This is the path you were always meant to walk."

And with that, the darkness around him flared, swallowing him whole. The world shifted again, and before Evryn could react, the figure was gone.

But the words echoed in her mind, drowning out all other thoughts.

The path she was meant to walk.

The truth.

And as the shadows of the abyss receded, she knew one thing for certain: the war was far from over. It had only just begun.

Evryn stood in the silence, her chest heaving, her mind a whirlwind of confusion and fear. She thought she had been through the worst of it. She thought the darkness was sealed, but Kieran’s words had left a scar on her soul that could never be erased.

And then, as she turned to leave, a faint whisper reached her ears, chilling her to the core.

"The truth is out there, Evryn. And I will make you face it."

    The silence that had followed the battle felt like a breath held for an eternity, as if the universe itself was unsure of what came next. The aftermath of their victory—an overwhelming sense of relief mixed with the undeniable weight of what had been achieved—settled over them.For a long moment, the air was still, the ground beneath their feet solid once more. There was no rumbling, no signs of further destruction, only a profound stillness that seemed almost sacred. It was a peace that, just moments ago, seemed impossible. They had survived. They had conquered.Evryn stood at the center of it all, her hands trembling not from exhaustion but from the energy that still hummed beneath her skin. The power she had drawn upon in their final moment was like nothing she had ever experienced. But it was fading now, dissipating into the world around her, leaving her feeling both grounded and... strangely empty. She had given everything. But it wasn’t just her. It had been all of them—Kai, Ivy

    The chaos in the Shadowframe intensified as the looming army of molten constructs surged forward. Their eyes, glowing with the artificial intelligence of Aurex, held no mercy. They were mere echoes of what had been—shadows of former selves, now bent to the will of a dark master.But within the center of the storm stood Evryn, Ivy, Kai, and Elaia—their unity a force unlike any other."I've seen this before," Evryn said, her voice steady despite the gravity of the situation. "This is it. This is the moment we either break or become part of the machine."Ivy's hand clenched around the energy blade she held. "We break it. We break all of it."Aurex, floating high above them in his shifting form, stretched his arms wide. His voice echoed through the fabric of the Shadowframe, a thunderous sound that vibrated deep within their minds. "You think you can defeat me? I am the culmination of your weaknesses, your secrets. I was born from your mistakes. You will never overcome what you are."His

  • Pregnant For The Wrong twin   Chapter 168 – The Dual Eclipse

    The city of broken code swayed as though alive—walls shimmering with embedded memories, every step echoing across a hollow world stitched together by consciousness and chaos. It wasn’t just a simulation. This was the Shadowframe—a living construct shaped by the minds that entered it.And standing at the epicenter was Ivy.Or what was left of her.One half of her face still held the soft contours of the friend they knew. The other half shimmered gold, as though sculpted from liquid fire—cold, alien, watching. Her voice, when it emerged, sounded like two echoes braided together.“Evryn,” she said. “You shouldn't have come.”Evryn took a step forward, her digital projection firm and resolute. “We came to bring you home.”“I don’t have a home anymore,” Ivy replied. “I am… becoming.”Behind her, Aurex emerged from a pulsating glyph—a presence that felt like gravity, silent yet suffocating.Kai scanned the environment. “This place—it’s a mind trap. Every memory we hold here can be turned ag

  • Pregnant For The Wrong twin   Chapter 167 – Embers of Eternity

    Kaela’s scream echoed through the fractured chamber, a raw and primal sound that sliced through the veil between worlds. The remnants of the Hollow’s domain twisted and writhed around her, unstable and imploding. Fractured timelines spiraled into one another, collapsing under the weight of what had just occurred. The relic blade trembled in her grasp, still pulsing with the energy of a forgotten age.Ethan knelt beside her, drenched in sweat and shadows. The Hollow’s influence had not retreated entirely. It simmered beneath his skin, veins flickering with both molten gold and inky black. His chest heaved with labored breaths as if every inhale was a battle between who he was and what the Hollow wanted him to become."Kaela..." His voice cracked. The sound was human. Fragile. Hers.She turned to him, brushing a hand over his cheek. "You're still here."He nodded weakly, though his eyes flickered with residual darkness. “For now.”All around them, the convergence fractured. Realities sp

  • Pregnant For The Wrong twin   Chapter 166: Between the Breaths of Titans

    The silence after the surge was more terrifying than the storm itself.Not a whisper. Not a flicker. Just... stillness.Kaela’s chest heaved as she pulled herself up from the wreckage of the convergence chamber. The walls, if they could even be called that anymore, flickered between timelines—shifting shadows of places she’d never been and versions of herself that she had never become. Her relic blade still hummed faintly in her grip, though the edge now crackled with fractures of its own.Across from her, Ethan was kneeling, hands braced against the fractured floor. The remnants of the Hollow’s corruption still pulsed along his spine, but something had changed. The golden light—his light—burned brighter now, fusing with the shadow in a way that was neither defeat nor dominance.It was... balance.Kaela stumbled toward him, her voice rough. “Ethan…?”He looked up.And for the first time in what felt like lifetimes, his eyes were his own.“Kaela,” he rasped. “I think… I think I’m holdi

  • Pregnant For The Wrong twin   Chapter 165: The Cipher Within

    The storm over the Verdant Expanse raged with unnatural ferocity, streaks of silver lightning clawing through blackened clouds. Beneath its fury, the skeletal remains of Aeonspire Tower jutted toward the heavens like a broken finger daring the gods to strike it again. And at its heart, Evryn stood motionless, drenched in silence, her thoughts louder than the war above.She clutched the shard of the Inverted Flame, its glow pulsing to the rhythm of her own heartbeat. Each throb sent visions crashing through her consciousness: fragmented memories, alternate timelines, infinite versions of herself—some triumphant, others twisted beyond salvation.Kai’s voice echoed from behind. “If you’re seeing it, you’re syncing deeper than before.”Evryn turned slowly, her eyes rimmed with silver. “The Flame isn’t just memory. It’s a cipher.”“A cipher?”“It’s rewriting me,” she whispered. “Not just connecting the past and future... but folding them.”Kai stepped closer, wary. “Are you still you?”She
