"I am sorry we did not find you. Sorry you grew up alone. Sorry you had to become strong by yourself. But I am not sorry you survived. I am not sorry you are here. I am not sorry you are exactly who you are." Something shifted in her expression. The shadows in her eyes flickered. "Aunt Lyra?" "I am here. We are all here. And we are not leaving you again." The Shadow Emperor roared in fury. "Enough sentimentality! If you will not serve me willingly, then you will serve me as corpses!" He unleashed his full power, not at us directly but at the foundations of his own realm. If he could not have victory, he would ensure mutual destruction. The shadow realm began to collapse in earnest. Not crack

Perhaps that’s why the wolves inside me were behaving like lovesick puppies. It doesn’t matter though… No matter what happens, I’ll get my revenge on everyone, starting with Lady Hurst… It took me twenty years to prepare for this. I’ll make sure that the least they could do once I’m finished is to beg for their deaths in front of me. At the end, they wouldn’t even know that I, the final Shadow heir, the lone survivor of that blasted massacre of the pack they deemed as their long-hated enemy had already entrapped them…

It appeared that the tables had turned. "You're all doomed, Simon Lakeworth! The Shadow Guardian has mobilized the shadow army. None of you will survive today!" Anson laughed wildly, as if witnessing the impending victory of the Xenoses and the inevitable downfall of the Lakeworths. The shadow army was one of His Excellency's most formidable trump cards. Despite their name, they resembled more demons from hell than mere soldiers. These shadow soldiers were devoid of pain or life, functioning as relentless killing machines. They would continue fighting until their limbs were severed; even decapitated, they would press on with their mission.

"Again. Every time you step onto the field of battle, you impress us." Shamira shrugged. "Master, you said --" "No 'Masters' for a few minutes, okay?" "Okay. You said Shadow Sight was the third Shadow Aspect. What is Shadow Sight exactly, and how many Shadow Aspects are there?" "There are five. I'll let Shane or Lillian explain the others, since my ancient lore isn't what it should be, but Shadow Sight means that no creature, magical or otherwise, can hide from you in the shadows, and it means that you can see even in complete darkness. Normally vamp's eyes just amplify light, kind of like night vision goggles, but you don't need any light source at all. Shamira, the darkness of the world is

But then the shadow laughed, its voice dripping with malice. “You think light can banish me? You have no idea what you’ve unleashed.” The figure lunged, its form twisting into something monstrous. The group scattered, each fighting to hold their ground. --- Lena was cut off from the others in the confusion. The flaming eyes of the shadow peered into her soul as it loomed over her. Its voice was both sultry and ominous as it declared, "You have the ability to put an end to this." "But are you prepared to bear the cost?"
