Unless a member of Grey’s pack had gotten over there, it could have only been Ember controlling the shadows. What the hell was she doing here? “We’ll head to the bridge,” Grey said. “Make your way through the city. That bastard is here.”

Kade hissed. “My focus is on my mate!” I met his glare, seeing the fire burning in his eyes. “Did either of you hear what I was even saying?” Kade sounded annoyed, but I didn’t care. Listening to him yammer on was not part of my agreement with his Queen, and while he spoke, I let my eyes wander over Ember, ensuring she was unharmed. “I used shadow magic. Got it. It probably won’t ever happen again.” Ember said, sounding defeated.

Enzo is just happy to have all his ‘brothers’ The night air was sharp with sea salt and memory, Enzo stood at the edge of the pier, hands in his coat pockets, watching the shadows dance across the warehouse district. The same docks where shipments once moved in silence under the veil of moonlight. Where loyalty was currency and betrayal cost blood. He hadn’t set foot here in years—not since he chose a different path. A better one.

“It doesn't look like you're fine, and honestly if I were to say something, I'd say you're a better character than I am, I don't know about your current situation, or status or anything, and even if I knew, I'm not sure I know how to solve them, I mean the experience is like a celebrity trying to wash dishes, so whatever it is that you're hesitant to share, i just feel letting it out sometimes will makes you feel light of the burdens.” A better character?

Cassian Holt sat rigid within its luxurious confines, his copper hair gleaming in the ambient light generated by the small ember crystals embedded in the carriage walls. Each crystal pulsed in time with his agitated heartbeat, responding to his turbulent emotions despite his attempts to maintain composed control.

It moved like liquid darkness, slipping under her guard and brushing its hand—a hand made of nothing but heatless flame—along her cheek. The air between them crackled, and she saw a flicker of something not here: armies kneeling in ash, skies lit by falling stars, the Hollow’s gates yawning open. Ruby’s blade whistled past her shoulder, forcing the shadow back a step. It didn’t react as if it had been struck—more as if the act itself was mildly inconvenient.

The morning light filtered weakly through the curtains, casting fractured patterns on the floor — much like my thoughts, splintered and jagged. I sat at the small kitchen table, clutching my cup of cold coffee, staring at the leather-bound book *Reflections of the Forgotten* open before me.
