Novel & Cerita Claimed In The Shadows

“Don’t romanticize it, Luca.” “I’m not. I’m telling you there’s instability. Factions forming, reckless kids stepping up thinking a gun and a name make them kings.” Enzo was silent for a beat, then said, “Let them eat each other alive. I’m not going back.” Luca looked down at his hands, calloused from years in the life. “You built something. Hell, most of what’s still standing in the shadows? It’s because of your legacy. They still whisper your name.”

I am so disappointed_______. ‘Mom please, before you say all those awful things to me hear me out, please,’ Connie sobbed Raising her arms in resignation Lora frowned at her as she said drily, ‘Ok, I am all ears.’ Connie blew her nose first, speaking softly she said, ‘I just don’t know where to begin to explain things to you. First thing let me clarify these photos. That day I lied that I was going for lunch with Emma I was actually going to meet with this guy and he happens to be the same guy that I assumed had come looking for me on the day of Emma’s fake disappearance.

“You are something. So much more than fodder for someone else’s war.” “You used us,” the other shadow said. “Promised us power. You used us.” They came at her again, three more shadows joining them in the circle they formed, caging her in the middle. “Power—that was your promise,” another said, echoing the previous sentiment of its comrade. Another chimed in, “You left us!” Ava lost track of which was saying what as their tirade came at her from all angles. Defense for the violence she had, for the truth, she had nothing.

I demanded him. " Who told you that?" Easton asked. " I asked for the answer in Yes or No. So answer me did you or did you not?" I asked again. " I did, Mi reina. But that is in the past now. She means nothing to me. She is just a friend of mine. That's it." Easton told me while trying to reach for me when I was surrounded by eight of the Shadows that were stopping Easton from reaching me. "Are they shadows? Didn't they extinct a long time ago?" everyone asked looking at all the shadows shocked. They turned around and bowed down in front of me in respect.

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.

The morning light filtered weakly through the curtains, casting fractured patterns on the floor — much like my thoughts, splintered and jagged. I sat at the small kitchen table, clutching my cup of cold coffee, staring at the leather-bound book *Reflections of the Forgotten* open before me. The stories inside weren’t just tales — they were warnings, lessons written in sorrow and hope. Women who had lived as shadows, trapped in lives borrowed from others, fighting to reclaim their own reflections.

After seeing that it was Liam, my fear had subsided, “where did you come from? I did not hear from you after you left the pack. Where did you go?” “It is a secret.” he said with a wink and then leaned in closer, “but I will tell you.” I raised my brows at his secrecy. “Have you heard of the Shadow Clan?” My breath hitched in my throat at the mere name, “A- aren’t they a myth? The chosen ones that protect the rules of our world?” “Yes.” Liam nodded, the smile disappearing from his face, “they are a reality. I am one of them now.” “You are kidding?” I spluttered out in shock, “Liam. Seriously?”

Alex replied with an emotionless face, doing as if he didn't notice the gunpowder in the air between his two subordinates. "Shadow, do you think we will find them here?" Alex asked in his head. "Yes, I have 80% assurance that we will find a clue of their whereabouts" Shadow's voice sounded in Alex's mind. The man in Shadow has hidden in a spatial artifact that Alex owned. Alex smiled and said, "Let's see where they could be hiding."

He swallowed hard before speaking again, the words coming slowly as if testing the air before swallowing it. "The Shadow... It's a group. A secret organization. Powerful rogues, disgraced alphas... all trying to overthrow the Council. They’ve been working in the shadows for years, moving in silence, and now... now they’ve got Cyrus in their pocket." “Cyrus,” I muttered, barely containing the venom in my voice. My stomach twisted with disgust at the thought of his name, knowing all too well the depth of the destruction he had caused. And now, to learn he was involved with something so dangerous, something so evil?.
