Disappearing into the dark water. "Serena. We're done. From this moment on we are strangers. Don't look for me." My voice rang through the entire hall, over and over. Serena lost all her strength at once, like everything had been drained out of her. She knew I had gone to my grave without forgiving her. At that same moment, the plan Gus and I had set in motion against the Coles and the Reids reached its peak.

She doubted that some eleventh-hour miracle would save her tonight. Christophe reappeared and shed his toweling robe in an untidy heap on the floor. He looked at her, blazing all-male satisfaction, and Lara shrank under the sheet. He stood half in shadow, half in light, the long, muscular planes of his golden body a glorious vision of rampant masculinity, and Lara felt her own hunger stirring, insidious as a secret invader.

I felt like Pandora’s box had been opened and it was sitting in my lap, all the evil in the world spilling out around me ripping the paint off the walls and tainting the carpet. If I stayed I wanted no part in their organizations or their game of cat and mouse. I wanted only to be there for Guilia who would know nothing about this. She was happy and carefree, I will do for her what my mother did for me and keep the world bright and shiny. I think it helps those of us who look darkness in the face to see the sunshine on those we love. “All right,” I finally spoke. “I won’t tell a soul,” “I knew you wouldn’t darling,” He grinned, if he thought that meant I would play any part in this scheme he

I snarled. "It's important to the explanation for all of this." Tiernan waved a hand at me, and I quieted. "There is the Seelie Court, which is the Court of the Light, the Unseelie Court which is also known as the Court of the Dark, and then there is the Twilight Court, the Court of the In-Between." "In-between what?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Everything," he said and shrugged. "They rule dusk and dawn, the time between seasons, and the spaces that lie between; such as that between earth and sky."

He pauses and adds after a while, “think of this, if you become evil and destroy everyone, what happens? Another being soars up and fights you too. Have you ever imagined why light and dark always fight?” He’s still talking and I am carefully listening without even realizing. “Because light becomes dark at some point, and dark becomes light at some point. The point where light becomes dark is a breaking point, after being pushed to the end of the wall and it retaliates. And dark becomes light when it regrets it’s actions and wishes for absolution, for a cleansing of its sins.” I clear my throat. “Why are you telling me these things?”

As I entered from the real world at dawn, and it is now night, I hope this corresponds to the real world and that we only have to survive the day before the moon rises. Serena's light seems to have stabilized. It's no longer flickering, but it is still very dim. At least it's there. Lewana is curled up in my lap and snuggled against my chest. I make sure she is as comfortable as possible as I hold her, determined to not only fight the shadows that threaten her but also keep them from giving her more nightmares. It doesn't feel like an entire night has passed when it starts to get light again, but I'm relieved when it does. I know I have to survive with our girls, but I know if the shadows ne

“You were born in a world we had to break to make whole again.” And as the pack’s song rose to meet the stars, the moon shone brighter, as if smiling upon the children of her dawn. And thus began the Age of Balance. Where moonlight met shadow without fear, and love outlasted prophecy. The Goddess slept, the dark at peace, and her children learned at last to choose— not between light or night, but the endless dawn that lives between them. 🖋️ Author’s Note To my dear readers, From the first flicker of moonlight on the page to the final breath beneath its glow—thank you. Thank you for walking beside Emry, Braxton, Eastin, Lira, and every soul who found themselves tangled in the shadows and lig

The edges of the world blurred. And then— Darkness.

I stepped closer to my pillar and read the words aloud: "In the heart of darkness, light must shine, But alone, its glow will fade with time. By shadow’s grace, the light is freed, Together, they are one in need." Evelina joined me, reading the rest of the inscription on her side: "Through dusk and dawn, they dance as one, For without the dark, the light is undone. When both are present, the truth is clear, Together they guide, without fear." She met my eyes, understanding lighting up in her expression. "It’s a test of balance—light and dark. Both need to work in unity to move forward."

One week passed. Dawn and Dusk existed peacefully among the pack. Learned more. Grew more. Became more. But the peace did not last. The remaining five Darks arrived together. Not one at a time. Not individually. All five at once. United. Coordinated. Determined to undo what Dawn and Dusk chose. Determined to prove nothing was superior. Determined to erase everything before more Darks were corrupted. They came at dawn. Light meeting darkness. Day facing night. Existence confronting nothing.
