THE LAST SHIFT: A Werewolf without a Wolf CHAPTER 83: Shattered Flame
The water didn't just rise, it exploded.The pool blew apart like a bomb going off, hurling black water in sheets that slammed against the walls. The sound was thunder, so violent it sucked the air right out of my lungs. Roots snapped, dirt rained down, the ground bucked under my feet.And out of the center, the shadow unfolded itself.Its body wasn't shapeless anymore. It had wings now, jagged things with feathers like black knives, each beat slicing through the air with a scream that made my skull feel like it was cracking. Thinner than before, but sharper. A predator stripped down to pure hunger.The girl pressed her face into my neck, sobbing against the blood on my skin. My arms burned from holding her, my body ready to collapse, but letting go wasn't happening.Not when the shadow's voice coiled through the cavern like smoke:"Break. Burn. Trade."I spat blood into the dirt, breathing hard. "You don't get to decide how I die."The thing lunged.I spun, dropping low, the girl's w
THE LAST SHIFT: A Werewolf without a Wolf CHAPTER 82: Fractures of Fire
When I hit the shadow, it wasn't like hitting a stone. It was rage meeting emptiness.The shadow's teeth crashed into my burned hands. For a split second, I thought they'd cut right through me. The impact rattled every bone in my body, trying to shake me apart. But I held on.Heat poured out of my skin like my blood had caught fire. The silver chains still burned in my palms, cutting deeper, but instead of breaking me, the fire inside rushed through those wounds, straight into the shadow's bite.The thing shrieked, of the sound so deep the whole cavern shook, roots screaming like they were alive. Its jagged teeth cracked under my touch, breaking into black glass that melted before hitting the ground.The girl sobbed against my shoulder, her small body shaking, but that cry kept me grounded, sounding human and real. The one thing this monster couldn't fake.I stumbled forward, pushing the shadow back with nothing but burned hands and raw fury. It wasn't strength. It wasn't magic. It wa
THE LAST SHIFT: A Werewolf without a Wolf CHAPTER 81: Teeth of the Shadow
The shadow came at us like the whole cavern was caving in. Black rushed toward me so fast I barely saw it move.My body moved without thinking, dropping, twisting, clutching the girl so tight she yelped as I threw us both down.The wave of darkness slammed past where we'd been standing a second before. Stone hissed like it was burning. Rocks scattered across the ground, some cracking to dust.I scrambled backward, breathing hard, the girl's fingernails digging into my neck. She was shaking, gulping air. Her terror wrapped around me, but it also kept me steady, it gave me something to fight for.The thing rose up again, unfolding taller than the ceiling should allow. The air went cold, like it was sucking the warmth right out of me. Where hands should've been, darkness licked the air like hungry flames."Break."The word exploded inside my head. My bones felt like they were getting hammered. My teeth rattled, my spine jerked, and everything went dim at the edges. It wasn't a sound. It
THE LAST SHIFT: A Werewolf without a Wolf CHAPTER 80: The Hollow’s bargain
The tunnel seemed endless. The walls pulsed with silver veins, but they grew dimmer with each step I took. Like the hollow was bleeding out slowly. My boots splashed through puddles, and every echo sounded like something hunting me.The girl burned against my chest. Her fever made my skin sticky with sweat. She breathed weird; too fast, then too slow. Each breath smelled like ash."Closer," she whispered. Just one voice this time, not that creepy chorus from voice, or whatever was wearing her skin. "Closer to the end. You'll see."I swallowed hard. "Shut up."The walls bent inward like they were listening. Roots hung down, dripping thick sap that landed on my shoulder. It was warm and sticky. I wiped it off, but it stained my shirt.Everything here sounded alive. The drip, my footsteps, even my heartbeat, it all wove together into a rhythm that wasn't mine."Trade me," she said again, like she was singing. But underneath, I caught something else. Something human. "If you want him back
THE LAST SHIFT: A Werewolf without a Wolf CHAPTER 79: Alone in the Hollow
The quiet after the roots closed was worse than all the noise.For one breath, everything stopped. The forest whispers cut off, the wardline's hum died, and all I could hear was my own heartbeat, rough, angry, too loud. My hands pressed against the wall, nails digging into bark that felt more like bone than wood."Kieran!" My scream tore out of me, raw enough that I tasted blood. I beat against the wall until my fists hurt, but it didn't move. No cracks, no give. Just a solid, living wall that had swallowed him whole.The girl moved in my arms. Her head rolled on my shoulder, her lips curling back into that sick smile again. "Gone," she whispered, but the word came out in a hundred voices at once. Her little hand patted my cheek gently. "Wolf gone. Wolf bled. Wolf broke.""Shut up." My voice cracked. I couldn't tell if I was talking to her or to the thing inside her. "He's not gone."But the words sounded empty even to me.The roots pulsed under my hands, beating like a heartbeat, but
THE LAST SHIFT: A Werewolf without a Wolf CHAPTER 78: The Breaking Point
The girl's mouth ripped open wider than any mouth should go. Her lips split like paper tearing, no blood coming out. That smile opened up like a black hole trying to swallow everything.The sound coming out of her wasn't whispering anymore. It was a hurricane. Thousands of voices screaming and praying and laughing all mixed together, crashing inside my head until I couldn't think. My skull felt like it was going to crack. Everything went white around the edges."Kieran!" I reached for him with my free hand. His body was shaking under my touch. He was still on one knee, his sword trembling, his other hand pressed so hard against his head I thought he might break something.He took a deep, rough breath and pushed me back with a growl. "Don't touch me, hold her still!"But she wouldn't be still. The kid's body in my arms bucked like something was crawling under her skin, like a hundred hands were pushing from the inside trying to get out. Her little fists hit me, weak but wild, her nails
