Burning Shadows Chase Cards Novels & Stories

Promise me, you will always follow your heart”’ Delilah held his hands, as shadows hovered all over her. Chase and Enzo both stared in shock. Chase knew just what was happening, he had seen the two shadows before, it was the same beautiful beings he had seen with Emandra, and now they were choking Delilah and draining the life out of her. No one can fight them, they can only stare. The limb dead body of Delilah falls to the ground with a thud.

“We will not let the darkness win. Hold your ground and focus on the Heartstone!” The pack members responded with renewed determination, their eyes fixed on the Hearthstone's pulsating glow. They maintained their positions and continued to support the ritual, their collective willpower pushing back against the encroaching darkness. The clash between light and shadow was intense. The Heartstone’s glow intensified, its light merging with the elemental energies and creating a brilliant, radiant aura. The shadows writhed and pulsed, their forms flickering as they struggled against the binding magic.

Pack’s pack, Tess—strike, guard! The shard’s hum intensified, the indigo runes flaring, the ground within the hollow trembling, Shadowborn wraiths rising from the cracked earth, their forms coalescing into shadowy, clawed figures, their eyes glowing indigo, their snarls a guttural echo, the air crackling with dark magic, the hollow’s wind howling louder, the puddles rippling, the willows’ vines pulsing faster, the Shadowborn’s whispers a deafening roar, the ancient power stirring, the Shadowed Hollow a crucible for the pack’s fire, the battle for their legacy reaching a new chapter, the pale light dimming, the shadows thickening, the scent of shadow a chilling promise, the pack’s fire a beac

"Moonbound... pay attention. This is something we all have to deal with together. We now have the Silver Heart and the fortune. Trust each other, use them, and keep your heart steady. The shadow lunged at us with all its might, and the sparks around us were hit by liquid darkness. Sparks of red, silver, black, and fiery light exploded all around me as I charged forward with Silver Heart. Any pulse from Kael, Thorne, or Draven mixed with mine, making a massive wave of energy that was in sync. The shadow hissed, "You...can't protect them all." Its eyes showed pieces of our old enemies, our doubts, and our fears. "Being in charge of your inheritance won't protect you from what's coming."

I'll leave it up to you. The shadow blink can move from one shadow to another within range. What a neat skill. But I would like to know why you don't have the shadow element! What do we have instead? This bullshit element of fire!? You have a skill, focused solely on shadows! Surely this is the reason. [Aura of Fire- Turn an entire area to a fire domain, each target inside the aura will take burning damage that cancels out healing skills and movement skills] The addition of another domain type for my team is always welcome, even though I would have preferred a shadow element.

But his gaze keeps sliding toward me—calculating, waiting. Waiting for me to burn. Councilor Therin lifts the ancient brazier, its black metal etched with runes older than any pack. “Aria of Shadowfang,” he intones, “the Blood Flames shall reveal your truth. Witch or wolf. Innocent or traitor. Light… or shadow.” The runes ignite. And flames explode upward. The fire roars with a sound like cracking bones and storm winds. It’s not natural fire—every color bleeds in the flickering tongues: crimson, ink-black, violet, molten gold. The air thickens, charged, reacting to me before I even step inside.

She’s great with her magic and has a deep knowledge of plants and how to use and grow them. Ezekiel had stronger shadows, barely weakened by her flames. He and Shay would give us tips on when best to shoot her flames and where. Apparently, there were certain weak spots inside a shadow. I needed to find the spots that looked the lightest, ones that seemed more gray than black. If I shot my flames there, the shadow would disappear. It seemed simple enough, but most of the time, the shadows were so fast, there was no way for me to hit it before it hit me.

When he found their hiding place empty, the overwhelming stench of rogues and wolves from another pack had completely overwhelmed him. Shadow had searched for his little friend for days, but her body and the bodies of her family were never discovered, probably torn to pieces or carted off as some macabre trophy somewhere. Shaking his head to rid himself of his heavy thoughts, Shadow stretched. Sliding out from under the covers, he padded over to his closet, taking out a fresh pair of shorts, a running singlet, and shoes.

Phil followed behind them, pinching the bridge of his nose in resignation. "Shine, limited-edition items are usually never put on sale," Phil muttered incredulously. Shine ignored him completely and continued dragging Belle along. Belle simply shrugged at Phil. "There's no harm in checking," Shine insisted.

"Watch that mouth, young lady," Phil scolded, shooting her a glare.
