LOGINZoe Reed’s life shattered the day Alpha Philip’s darkness ripped her family apart. Barely escaping with her life, a cryptic heirloom, and her mother’s dying words, Zoe returns to Nighthaven Academy, a school for supernatural beings, with one goal: vengeance. But as she uncovers the truth about her unique bloodline, she realizes she’s more than a werewolf - she’s also part witch, marked by ancient magic that could save her world… or destroy it. Amid the chaos, Zoe finds her heart caught in a battle as fierce as the one for her life. Dominic, a brooding and fiercely loyal werewolf, stirs something wild in her soul. But then there’s Cassius, an enigmatic vampire with a haunting past, whose intensity pulls her toward the darkness she fears and the power she craves. Both men understand the shadows she walks better than anyone, yet their loyalties threaten to unravel everything Zoe is fighting for. As the danger surrounding Nighthaven deepens, Zoe must confront secrets that link her family’s murder, Alpha Philip’s rise, and a prophecy that could bring about the end of the supernatural world. In a battle of light and darkness, love and betrayal, Zoe is forced to make impossible choices: Will she embrace her legacy and fight for justice, even if it means losing those she loves? Or will the pull of forbidden love and untamed power consume her? Shadow of Heart: The Awakening is a spellbinding journey through a world of ancient rivalries, forbidden romance, and the unyielding power of the heart. Fans of gripping supernatural dramas, star-crossed lovers, and fierce heroines will be captivated by this tale of resilience, passion, and the fight for destiny.
View MoreNakayupyop ako sa aking dalawang palad. Hindi ko alam at wala akong pakialam kung ano ang hitsura ko. I know it will sound so desperate, but damn it! Hindi rito magtatapos lang ang lahat sa amin.
"Pakinggan mo 'ko, please Fiore. I didn't know that it wasn't you!" I knelt down on my knees hoping that he would listen.
"Ginago mo 'ko, Miranda! Do you think I’m that fool to forgive you after all this?"
Muli akong tumayo at halos yakapin ko na siya. Ngunit para lamang akong isang alikabok na binugaw niya. While the assh*le who planted all this things was there standing, looking outside the window. Nagawa pa niyang mag-sight-seeing pagkatapos ng ginawa niya.
Sinugod ko si Xylon. Pinagsusuntok ko ang likod niyang walang saplot. "This is all your fault, Xylon! You took advantage of me. I hate you!"
Nakita ko ang pagsara ng kanyang mga mata ngunit walang palatandaan na nasaktan man lang siya. Like he was getting all the pain and it's fine with him. Like he doesn't care at all kahit magkasira kami ng kababata niya. Na sinadya niya na mangyari ang lahat ng ito.
Mas lalo akong napahagulgol. Dahil kitang-kita ko na wala siyang balak na magpaliwanag kay Fiore. Muli akong napaluhod. This time, sa paanan ni Xylon.
"W-What are you doing?" he asked, na parang nagulat sa bigla kong pagluhod naman sa harapan niya.
Damn it, Miranda! Pati ba naman sa harap ng isang gago ay luluhod ka? Ganyan ka na ba kababa?
"P-Parang awa mo na, Xyle... Sabihin mo kay Fiore na wala akong kasalanan. Na hindi ko alam na... ikaw ang lalaking nakasama ko... na ikaw ang kumuha ng..."
Natakpan ko ang bibig. I couldn't even say it. I couldn't admit that this assh*le took my virginity instead of Fiore, my fiance!
Tears kept on flowing down my cheeks. They were like rivers without end. Like rain without rainbow. Like the ocean without hope.
"Tumayo ka, Miranda," mariin niyang utos.
"X-Xyle, nagmamakaawa ako..."
"Tumigil ka na, Miranda." Nabingi ako kahit mahina lamang iyon na utos ni Fiore. "Kahit ano pa ang paliwanag ninyo ni Xylon, hinding-hindi na kita mapapatawad. You cheated on me. You and my best friend. You're such a wh*re, Miranda!"
"Fiore!" I heard Xylon scolded him. Pero walang epekto iyon kay Fiore.
"I decided to not marry you anymore." Sumabog ang mga salitang iyon sa mukha ko. After saying that, he took a bag from a nearby cabinet. Like it was ready to be taken away and just waiting for somebody to get it.
"F-Fiore..." I pleaded. Mabilis akong tumayo upang pigilan siya. Niyakap ko siya mula sa kanyang likuran. "D-Don't leave me. P-Please, Fiore, mahal kita. Wala akong minahal na ibang lalaki bukod sa ‘yo. Mali ang lahat ng ito. What you saw weren't true. It was you I was making love with. It was your face I saw when I closed my eyes. It's always you, Fiore..."
He just removed my hands from his body. Subalit parang bata pa rin akong sumunod sa kanya. "F-Fiore, maawa ka. Huwag mo 'kong iiwan."
Hinarap ako ni Fiore. I saw his handsome face, his eyes intently looking at me, those eyes I loved the very first time I met him. Those were the same, I know. Yet, there was no spark, no colours. The love that was for me was no longer there. I'm no longer the apple in his eyes. I'm no longer the most precious thing in his life. It was all gone.
"Miranda, I forgive you. You and Xylon. You have the option to remain with him. You should have told me. If you like him, I'll be happy to let you go..."
"I-I don't like him. Ikaw ang gusto ko, Fiore." Inilagay niya ang kumalat na buhok sa likod ng tainga ko. He's still tender and incredibly kind. Fiore's characteristics that I admired.
"But then, you still cheated on me. You didn't really love me, Mir." Panay ang iling ko kasabay ng pag-agos ng aking mga luha. "You can stay here as long as you want. Ako na ang magpapaliwanag sa parents ko at sa tita mo kung bakit hindi na matutuloy ang kasal." Naninikip ang dibdib ko. Gusto nang sumabog sa sobrang sakit nito. Hinawakan niya ang pisngi kong basang-basa ng luha. "They will understand. They will not judge you. Ako na ang lalayo para sa inyo." Sumulyap siya kay Xylon na naroon lamang at nakatayo. Nakaigting ang panga at kuyom ang mga kamao. Para siyang galit. Pigil na pigil ang galit. Damn him! Wala siyang karapatang magalit dahil siya ang demonyong may gawa ng lahat ng ito. Bakit hindi siya magsalita? Bakit hindi niya sabihin ang totoo? Bakit nananahimik siya? He’s a beast!
"F-Fiore..."
"Goodbye, Mir." Naglakad siya palayo sa akin. Palayo nang palayo. My feet were shaking when I took a step. Pero hindi ko na kayang kumilos pa.
Kasabay ng pagpinid ng pintuan ang pagkahulog ng nakataping kumot sa katawan ko. I saw from that white blanket the proof that I did cheat on him. The red blood scattered like it colored the white background of an artistic painting. At sa tabi ng kumot na iyon ay ang pulang panyong itinakip ko sa aking mga mata kanina.
I was ready to give my virginity to Fiore. He told me if he will take me, he wanted it steamy, hot, wild and sexy. Kaya naisip kong maghubad sa aming kuwarto. Piringan ang sariling mga mata. Sorpresahin siya sa pagnanais na maibigay ko ang sarili sa pinakamamahal ko. But then...
Muling umagos ang mga luha sa mga mata ko. Wala na si Fiore. Wala na siya.
"M-Miranda..."
My fiery eyes looked at Xylon. Tanging boxers lang niya ang natirang suot niya. Gulo-gulo ang buhok, pulang-pula ang labi. Kung alam ko lang na siya ang kaulayaw ko kanina, sana mas pinadugo ko pa ang labi niya. Sana kinagat ko nang kinagat hanggang mamaga at nang hindi na siya makapagsalita.
"Masahol ka pa sa hayop, Xylon. Ang sama-sama mo. Mamatay ka na sana!"
Thank you for reeding
The morning was heavy with quiet determination. The survivors of the battle moved through Nighthaven’s halls with somber purpose, their grief etched into every step. Zoe stood on the balcony overlooking the courtyard, her gaze distant. The weight of their losses pressed on her, but she knew she couldn’t let it consume her. They needed something lasting, something to honor the lives lost in their fight against the darkness.Ellara joined her, her presence a steadying force. “You’ve been standing here for hours,” the witch said softly.Zoe nodded, her voice low. “I keep thinking about them. Sara, Nikola, the others. They deserve more than to just... fade away in memory.”Ellara followed her gaze, her expression pensive. “Then let’s make sure they’re remembered. Something that will stand long after this fight is over.”Zoe turned to her, a spark of hope in her eyes. “A statue. Something that represents all of them, their courage, their sacrifice.”Ellara smiled faintly. “We’ll need mater
The hallway to Zoe’s room stretched endlessly before her. Each step echoed softly against the stone walls, a haunting reminder of how quiet Nighthaven had become. Cassius walked beside her, his presence steady, but the silence between them was heavy.As they neared her door, Zoe’s pace slowed. Her gaze drifted to the door across from hers—Sara’s room. She stopped abruptly, her hand gripping the pendant at her neck. The tears she had been holding back since the battle welled up, unbidden, spilling over as a sob tore from her throat.Cassius turned quickly, concern darkening his features. “Zoe..?”“I should’ve been able to save her,” she choked out, her words broken by sobs. “I... I should’ve done something.”Her knees buckled, but before she could collapse, Cassius was there, catching her in his arms. He sank to the floor with her, holding her tightly as she buried her face in his chest. The dam had broken, and the grief she had suppressed for hours came pouring out in waves.“I should’
The sun light was weak, its pale rays filtering through the tangle of forest branches as Zoe, Cassius, Ellara, and the survivors stumbled away from the battlefield. The air was heavy with the stench of blood and burnt magic, and every step felt like a struggle against the weight of loss.They moved in silence, each person lost in their own thoughts. Zoe leaned heavily on Cassius, her body battered but her spirit still clinging to the thin thread of determination. The moonstone pendant at her neck felt cool now, its once-blazing energy spent, and she could feel its weight like a reminder of the power they had wielded - and the price they had paid.Ellara led the way, her staff glowing faintly as she used the last of her magic to sense for danger. “We’ll stop here,” she said, her voice hoarse, pointing to a small clearing sheltered by ancient trees. “We need to tend to the wounded before we go any farther.”Zoe nodded, her throat tight as she glanced back at their small group. Only a han
The forest was alive with chaos. The air shimmered with volatile energy, the kind that burned the lungs and made every breath a battle. Caelum stood at the center of it all, his wings stretched wide, their edges crackling with dark power. His glowing eyes seemed to pierce through each of them, mocking and dismissive.“You’ve come all this way, only to fall here.” His voice echoed like a sinister melody, curling around Zoe and her companions, weighing down their resolve.Zoe clenched her fists, the moonstone pendant at her neck pulsing in time with her racing heart. “You’ve underestimated us before, Caelum. You won’t get the chance again.”His laughter was sharp and biting. “You think your courage means anything against me? Against this?” He gestured grandly to the chamber around them. The forest shimmered, leaves glowing with unnatural light, and the ground beneath their feet cracked and trembled.The warriors stationed on the balconies above tightened their bowstrings, their glowing a
The clearing pulsed with tension as if the very forest were alive and braced for the coming storm. The air was thick with the coppery tang of blood and the ozone scent of magic. Zoe stood at the forefront of her group, her wolf instincts sharpening her senses to the hilt. Around her, Cassius, Ellara, and the last remnants of their allies held their ground, bracing themselves for what they knew was an inevitable clash.The Ironclaw warriors, twisted creatures of sinew and shadow, emerged from the darkness like wraiths, their glowing eyes fixed on the group with predatory intent. Their snarls reverberated through the night, primal and unforgiving, sending a chill down Zoe’s spine despite the fire burning within her.She could feel Nila stirring restlessly within, a coiled spring ready to unleash. We’ve faced worse, her wolf urged. We can win.But could they? Zoe's eyes flicked over her companions. Cassius, his jaw set in grim determination. Ellara, her grip on her staff trembling but unb
