I have to take it by force. The next moment, a gun is pulled on us. Three men from the Shadowfang are pointing at us. What's more, they don't even hesitate - three gunshots and three people are on the floor dead already. I look to see the officials from the Romano mafia empire, three of them wasted. All of a sudden, they aren't even stalling - they are here for the kill, simply the kill. I know that guns are pointed at me also, but I hit the floor immediately in shock at the terror that's unfolding, and I make sure that I don't give them the opportunity to shoot at me so openly.

But as I walked away visibly emotionless, I couldn’t shake the image of the woman in the scarf, sitting in the shadows, watching me like she already knew me. And I had no idea that she was about to change everything.

Restricted Archives. The sign should have been enough to stop me.It wasn’t.I descended. The temperature dropped with every step, until the air itself felt sealed away from the rest of the world. At the bottom, a single table sat beneath a flickering torch, covered in books that looked older than anything I had ever seen. One title stood out. The Fall of the Shadow Queens. My breath slowed as I opened it.The pages were fragile, the ink faded but still legible.Illustrations showed figures surrounded by living darkness, not casting shadows but commanding them as extensions of themselves.

The scene projected wasn't a memory; it was happening now. The black ships we had seen on the horizon had reached the shore. They weren't empty. They were packed with Shadows, not the ink-monsters from the woods, but people. Thousands of them. They were pale, translucent versions of everyone the Shop had ever 'audited' or deleted. The ships were docking at the base of the North-Point Lighthouse. "They aren't coming to fight," I realized, watching the wall. "They're coming to Checkout."

I could feel my flesh burning and I winced in pain. “Stop running. You’re only going to suffer more,” he said as he entered the broken door. I ignored what he said and continued climbing up the stairs. It only took me a couple of seconds before I reached the line of tables in the very middle. The entire library was not in total darkness because of the light slipping through the glass windows from the outside. I ran to the east wing and hid behind the tall shelves while catching up my breath. The werewolf’s footsteps echoed in the air.

I called Morrison, gave her the address, and promised to wait for backup. Then I did not wait. Lily followed me to the building entrance, bat raised like she actually knew how to use it. The door was unlocked. Not forced open, just unlocked. Like someone wanted us to walk inside. "This is a trap," Lily whispered. "I know. But we are walking into it anyway." The interior was worse than the exterior. Collapsed floors, exposed beams, the smell of rot and rust. And underneath it all, something metallic and fresh. Blood. I followed the scent, my phone flashlight cutting through darkness. The trail led down a hallway, then to a staircase descending into what looked like a basement.

for my Live was already at ten thousand people. "I'm sorry, Becca," I whispered, staring at a photo of us from her matriculation while I was in the second year, before the "Envy" and the secrets. "I can't give you back what I took, but I can make sure they don't take anything else." Who do you think the SHADOW is ? Let me know your guess in the comments 🤗

“The shadows aren’t demons. You shouldn’t fear them, Knox.” I sigh. I’d forgotten that working with Sybil involves solving riddles. “The shadows are of your own creation. Embrace them. You have love to give, and no one on this Earth,” she pauses, raising her eyebrows in emphasis, “or has met the moon, wants you to stay in the dark.” Lyra. My jaw tightens as I struggle to swallow the lump that is growing in my throat, and tears prick at my eyes as I nod. “You have to make friends with the shadows. There is a light here that was meant for you to find. You will be the reason it’s unlocked and can shine after years of concealment. Follow the light, save the packs.”

Hunters. “Shadowthorn sends a message!” one roared. “The Alpha wants his heirs!” Aria shoved the twins behind her, blades already drawn. “Over my dead body.” Luka’s shadows flared. Lila growled, tiny body vibrating with power. The lead hunter lunged. Aria met him mid air, driving both blades into his chest. Hot blood sprayed across her face. She twisted, using his momentum to slam him into the second attacker. Luka’s shadows wrapped the third wolf’s legs, yanking him down. Lila pounced, ripping out his throat with a snarl that was far too mature for her age.
