Chasing Shadows Novel Novels & Stories

The expanse above us was a gorgeous shade of blue, and if I kept my back to the bruised streaks of violet forcing their way from the south, I could almost forget the impending doom hurtling towards us. "You okay?" Lillith asked, stopping beside me. Her almost waist length hair was down, neatly brushed and pushed back over her shoulders. "Yeah. Tired is all." Tired of running from the Sades and their Shadow Men. Tired of seeing their victories heralded in the darkening sky and the used bodies left in their wake. Tired of missing Nick, of not knowing where he was or if he was even alive anymore and tired of feeling like a pale skinned, violet eyed freak.

Nobody can reject her offer, not with this kind of body she has. Oh, she can't wait to finish her shift and go to his hotel room number and wait for him to return. Adam (fake name) came out of the hotel and started walking towards his right. Contemplating changing in mid-stride or not, Adam (fake name) glanced around the busy sidewalk. It was a myth that Shadow Chasers couldn't change in the presence of any light. He could vanish into a thick cloud of black shadows, right now, if he really wanted to change. Commanding the darkness was in his blood. He could, but there were too many curious eyes watching him right now as if this was the first time they were seeing the sun. He completely ignor

The cold air caressed the exposed part of her skin which was not covered with clothing and she immediately regretted leaving the house in a sundress. She took slow steps towards the low grunt as her heart got louder each second that passed. The dark abyss of the night enveloped her as she walked. She strained her eyes in the dark trying to make out any movement as she got closer to the sound. She turned back when she didn't see anything but stopped as she heard another low grunt followed by a sharp intake of air. She took slow steps towards the direction of the sound and finally saw the silhouette of the body on the ground. Turning on her phone's flashlight, she saw a man hunched over clutch

Her grief gave birth to the wrath that tainted her as the change took hold. It wasn’t long before she caught up with Daniel and the others. Her mind went to Ava. The woman told her of a plan. One that would see Penny being whole again. Ava needed to live. She needed to retrieve the Book of Shadows. Everything rested on her and the book. What the rest of them had to do was stay alive and keep each other safe. The shadows used themselves as projectiles, rocketing towards Penny. Since they could not render her soulless, they came at her to cause physical injury. Penny allowed her anger to feed her strength.

Its eyes were as red as blood and its presence gives a chilling and horrifying feel. “The two witch kids...have you heard about the prophecy?” The twins looked at each other being puzzled. “Oh, I see, I would be glad that I will be the one to tell your fate...” The evil of shadows made them confused. “...if one of you succeeds to become the ruler of the separate worlds, it will be the end of everything.” As Falla moved her pace to her brother trying to hide at her twin's back, Talon eventually vanished and was nowhere to be found. The evil of shadows moved closer in her direction. She feels heaviness and high tension as the evil comes closer and closer to her.

Somewhere in the depths of the Underworld, a god awaited his bride—and Penelope, terrified and powerless, was being pushed toward him like a lamb to the slaughter. The Underworld pulsed with a life of its own. It was a place where shadows danced along the cavernous walls, and the faint hum of restless souls filled the air like a mournful symphony. The grand halls of Hades' mansion, carved from obsidian and veined with faint streaks of glowing red, emanated an eerie beauty. The torches lining the walls burned with blue flames, casting ghostly light across the smooth floors, which seemed to absorb sound and reflect only silence.

A slow release, like it had been holding a breath for centuries and chose now to exhale. And from that breath— Shadows bled upward. Not smoke. Not mist. Shadows. They bent toward us, curious. The threads in my chest burned. “You’re not supposed to be here,” I whispered—not to Lucian, not to Theron. To it. The shadow shifted in answer. My ears popped. My teeth ached. The shape it made was wrong—too tall to be a man, too narrow to be a beast, its edges folding in and out of themselves like pages turning in a book no one was reading.

Not where the Hollow watched. So I nodded and my silence became another chain binding me to her side.And in my heart, a fear grew.Mira was already lost. And if I stayed too long in her shadow, maybe I would be lost too.

He fights like a wolf possessed, decimating the shadows so thoroughly that my gaze can hardly keep up with him. He pounces on a larger shadow hovering near the door that passes into the hallway. His giant, muscular shoulders slam into the doorframe, splintering the solid wood on either side, and he falls through, taking the shadow down onto the hardwood floor. Kian and Malix leap after him, growling as they snatch at more of the monsters surrounding their brother. All three wolves clatter across the floor, vanishing into the hallway.
