No one could see them, so she wasn’t worried. “Oh, those two.” Over the next few days, Suzie realized the mistake she made. Philip was never Her’s, he was never going to be Her’s and now she had nothing. Philip managed to clean out every single bank account she had, he sent evidence of all her crimes to the persons she committed them against. She was now a wanted woman in the underground and that was not a good thing. She had left London on a late flight but when she got on the plane, she saw two people she hated the most. They just stared at her and said nothing. She buckled into her seat and closed her eyes.

“Is that you, Mariah? “I came to find you… Is that okay?” That night, Chandler returned home very late. Pauline, already tipsy, rushed in while Chandler took care of parking the car. Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream pierced the air from inside the villa. Chandler was terrified. He didn’t even lock the car door before rushing into the villa.

Chapter 37 Shadows Of Destiny Fiona’s POV The room was a chaotic mess of shadows and shifting light. The aftermath of the battle had left its mark—furniture was overturned, and the air was thick with the acrid smell of smoke and fear. My heart raced as I tried to grasp the enormity of what had just happened. My mind was a whirlwind of confusion and dread. I had unleashed a power I didn’t understand, and now I was left trying to piece together the fragments of reality that had shattered around me.

It was multiplying their fears. “Together,” the shadows hissed in unison, a chorus of their own voices, each reflection sneering, mocking, condemning. “You will feed us.” Kael’s chain wavered in his grip. He looked to Brann—bleeding, staggering. To Seris—her jaw set, her sword quivering. To Liora—her face pale, her eyes wide, her light flickering. The chamber screamed again, and the storm of shadows closed in. They weren’t fighting four reflections anymore. They were drowning in an army of themselves. ☠️ End of Chapter 29

I mumble to her. I stretch back on the chair, convinced with the fact that Nicole is safe and sound. I let my eyes close in relief. I find myself in an unilluminated room. As far as my eyes tour, I see nothing but a stretch of darkness. Not a single thing appears to be visible to me in this pitch-black territory. I try to trail as the sinister darkness surrounding me grows further gloomy. How the hell did I get here? I remember I was with Nicole in her room. Then how did I reach here? The shadiness in the circumference becomes more horrifying as I walk. I instantly strive to run as I feel light-headed. I have to find a way out of this.

He cupped my chin, tilting my face up to his. “You doubt me, little one?” His tone was silk with a razor’s edge. I swallowed. “I don’t doubt you. I doubt the walls. I doubt the shadows. I doubt that even you can control what you can’t see.” His thumb brushed along my jaw, slow, deliberate, grounding me and unbalancing me all at once. “You’re right to fear. But make no mistake, Cassie—I will control this. I will hunt whoever touched what’s mine.”

The shadows come alive like something that recognizes him and answers to him. They rise from the ground and the trees, from the spaces between things, and wrap around his body in slow, deliberate coils, swallowing him piece by piece. He... He can't leave like this. “Wait!” I try again, forcing myself forward, but my body betrays me. I'm too slow, too weak to chase someone that never wanted to be caught. My legs shake under me, my strength already drained, and I can do nothing but watch as the shadows climb higher, tighter, claiming him completely.

2. Shadow couldn't sleep, not when his daughter was out there somewhere, with a madman looking after her and a hoard of vengeful vampires waiting to attack, so he waited until he heard Onyx come home, and as soon as his door closed Shadow gently untangled himself from Bella's embrace, snuck down the hallway and out into the night air. He phased fluidly into his wolf, and Malik stretched his legs quickly racing into the forests for the sheer joy of it.

Chase in the Dark The Shadowwood pressed in, all gnarly and alive, branches twisting overhead till the moon barely got a shot at the ground. Lyra moved through all that gloom like she’d grown up in the dark, senses tuned up to eleven, chasing after that weird trail of corruption winding deeper into the trees. Something old, like, way older than Kael’s whole rebellion, was out there, lying in wait.

The flickering sparks danced across her smiling face, but in that glow, I suddenly saw Alyssa's silhouette from last year's Moon Goddess Festival. She was standing by the altar, setting off her own fireworks. "Matteo, this color is so beautiful." I snapped back to reality and blinked hard. "What's wrong? You don't look so good," Sabrina said, coming to stand in front of me. I shook my head with a frown, and Sabrina grabbed another firework and went to play by the shore alone.
