Novel & Cerita A Shadow In The Ember Series

LOCATION: Abandoned Vairo Safehouse, Coastal Region – 7:43 a.m. STATUS: Unknown surveillance perimeter. Ember and Lucien in hiding. The windows were boarded shut. The salt air stung like truth. Ember stood shirtless in front of the bathroom mirror, the scar under her jaw still raw and red. Her hands trembled not from pain. From rage. Not at Beta. At herself. "You let her walk," she whispered to her reflection. "You had the shot."

“Professor, please don’t touch A167 right now. The side effects of the medication are severe. “In addition to systemic poisoning, she might have developed epidermolysis bullosa, which causes severe erosion in areas where the skin has mucous membranes. Even the lightest touch could strip away the skin.” Chandler didn’t heed the warning. He only wanted to uncover the truth. He reached out to grip my shoulder and turned me over. When he spotted the dark red birthmark on my shoulder, resembling a butterfly, he looked as if he had been struck by lightning. Trembling, he quickly withdrew his hand. As he pulled away, a large chunk of bloodied flesh tore from my skin and stuck to his fingers. Chandl

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.

Alpha Barker asked. He held my soft hand as he stared at me closely. "Where has she been that she hasn't been found by Elena and Kessler?" Alpha Barker asked. "She lives inside the forest where I built a secret house for myself. I thought leaving her to live inside the midnight city was putting her at more risk, I had to take her into the forest when she was still unconscious," Marrock said. "Thank you, Marrock. You just gave me an opportunity to live a long life. I was hoping to end my life the moment Amelia is buried, but you've proven to be someone I respect and value so much," Alpha Barker said, holding Marrock's hand with his other hand.

The lock clicked, loud in the silence. The shower water burned, a desperate attempt to wash away the night. Ava scrubbed her skin red, but his scent lingered. She stared at her flushed face and wide, scared eyes in the steamy mirror. What did I do? Dressed, she avoided her reflection. The room felt charged, heavy with unspoken words. She couldn't face him yet. She needed time, space. Sunlight, sharp and bright, hit Lucas's face. Ava gasped, a tiny sound. "Damn," she whispered, rushing to the window, fumbling with the heavy drapes. She pulled them shut, making the room dim again.

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.

“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? When she knew everything Maverick Nightshade touched gets burned to dust? “Yeah, everything is fine when you're so perfect.”

Ah~ there’s no self-interest. Shadow flipped her hair to the back and placed her hand on her chest. “My name is Shadow. The former emperor of the Underworld. Currently, I am the mediator of the three worlds. As someone who has been acknowledged to safe keep the harmony between all worlds, my judgment will benefit The Unknown, if not my siblings.
