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? I bet she wouldn't say that, if she met Maverick Nightshade, would she still say that when she knew my intentions?

“We fight.” In the Shadows Ignis stood in the dark. Watching through fire. He had seen everything. Lycan’s death. Zuri’s grief. Daisy’s pain. He smiled. “Let them gather. Let them burn with hope.” He turned to the white-haired girl—**Ember**. “Soon,” he said. “The child will come to me. And when she does… she will burn this world to ash.” Rosa’s POV They told me Lycan was gone.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN Cassian's Pursuit The ember-infused carriage cut through the night like a blade of living fire, its gilded exterior catching moonlight as it sped along the mountain pass toward Shadoweave. 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.

“If you were born from my defiance, you know I don’t hand over power easily.” The embers along its body flared, and suddenly the shadow lunged. It moved like liquid darkness, slipping under her guard and brushing its hand—a hand made of nothing but heatless flame—along her cheek.

Before she could fully process what he was doing, the corridor’s firelight thinned around her vision. Coolness slid over her skin. Not icy cold. Not empty chill. Something dense.
