Embrace The Shadows Novels & Stories

The truck sped across the muddy beaten path full of tire tracks from other vehicles. Lukas stared at the bright sky. Even if it was morning, the fact that the things they fight in the shadows existed made the world a dark one that no sunrise could ever illuminate. Back when he was living in ignorance, everything was colorful but when he was pulled into a battlezone where incarnated nightmares are the belligerents, everything just becomes black and white. And he thought that the Moro rebellion was dark enough. This conflict, simply known in the documents as the Shadow War, had made him see everything.

It caresses my skin as I scream at them to leave, only to hear a mocking laughter echo back. “Ours”. A shadow covers my mouth to silence me as the larger one finds my belly button. It enters my abdomen and starts to stretch and rip my body apart, removing my pups from inside me. I do everything I can to escape, but I’m too weak. They eventually hold my pups above me, perfect little pups, before their eyes go dark and they are consumed by shadow. The shadows release me and return to the ground, taking my pups with them. I frantically start digging with my hands, trying to follow them as I scream out into the night.

“You carry both the light and the dark. To wield your full power, you must accept them both. You cannot defeat what is coming if you deny one half of your soul.” “What does that mean?” I whispered.

"She lives inside the forest where I built a secret house for myself. I thought leaving her to live inside the midnight city was putting her at more risk, I had to take her into the forest when she was still unconscious," Marrock said. "Thank you, Marrock. You just gave me an opportunity to live a long life. I was hoping to end my life the moment Amelia is buried, but you've proven to be someone I respect and value so much," Alpha Barker said, holding Marrock's hand with his other hand.

“You’ll never pass if you act like yourself. You have to disappear, Rae. No one’s asking for you. They’re asking for me.” Little did I know the actual weight of those words. And so here I was—out in the wild, playing Elena. The car slowed. My stomach lurched before the vehicle even stopped. The gates loomed ahead, taller than anything I had ever stood beneath, sharp black bars cutting the night into sections. Beyond them, lights glittered faintly, drawing me into their gravity. The driver announced nothing. The gates peeled open without a sound, like the world had already expected me.

I am what you could be," the shadow said. "What you should be. Unlimited. Unchained. Free." "Free to destroy everything I love." "Free to stop pretending you are something you are not." The shadow circled me. "You chain yourself with mercy. With compassion. With love. But those chains make you weak. Vulnerable." "They make me human." "You are not human."
