Evershade Valley Novels & Stories

The surrounding skin was swollen and raw, the dried blood dark and crusted. My legs felt weak as I inched closer, trembling all over. I kneeled by her side, carefully cleaning her up. Eve kept her eyes tightly shut, but tears continued to stream down her cheeks. I hugged her trembling body tightly. "Eve, let’s try to escape again! I’m ready this time. We’ll go together." Her eyes fluttered open, a hint of confusion in them. "Can I... really still get out?" I nodded firmly. She gently squeezed my hand, and a flicker of hope returned to her eyes.

Valeria The night air felt thick as I stood before Malachai, my heart pounding with the weight of his words. Valeria Nightshade. The name echoed in my mind, unfamiliar and unsettling. I crossed my arms, narrowing my eyes at him, trying to keep my composure. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said firmly. “I’m Valeria Blackthorn. The Nightshades are… they’re dead. The royal family was wiped out… the Alpha King and his entire bloodline.”

It had stuck around these past few weeks but Eva couldn't figure out what it all meant. By the time she made it to the pack house, the Hellhounds were parked up and being greeted by those members of their pack who had remained here these past few weeks. Even Kade had made an appearance. Amongst the bodies was Daniel, his eyes finding Eva almost immediately as her trainers crunched along the gravel. Something flickered across his face, disappearing quickly but Eva saw it. For just a moment Daniel looked nervous. But before either of them could get to the other, Eshe stepped out of the doors of the packhouse, a large umbrella protecting her from the downpour. Her frame was wrapped in dark purp

And Valerie Sinclair would remind him, and the world, exactly what it cost to underestimate her. She picked up her phone again, opened a secure line, and typed a single command to her private investigator: Valerie: Start with Hart. I want everything. Somewhere across the city, gears were already turning, and Valerie had no idea that the first truth uncovered would change the rules of Eclipse entirely. The city didn’t sleep. It watched. Valerie stood barefoot on the cold marble of her penthouse terrace, dawn long gone, night fully settled. Below her, Los Angeles pulsed, headlights threading through streets like veins carrying ambition, hunger, greed. The world she ruled, challenged, and now p

“I’ll back your call. But I’ll keep a close eye on him.” “Good,” Ember said, stopping at the end of the fencing. She looked out into the darkness. “We’re running out of time.” **** Pov: Asher. Smoke on the Horizon Scene: The Nightshade Estate – Raven’s Peak The Nightshade house sat at the highest point of the Peak—a modern, steel-and-glass mansion that overlooked the valley below like a silent sentinel. Floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the forest skyline, and the house itself buzzed softly with solar-powered tech and security sensors embedded in the walls.

Shawn insisted gently. Valeria let out a soft sigh and slowly closed her eyes, letting darkness take over. Shawn carefully placed his large, warm hands over her eyelids to block out any extra light. He then walked her slowly, step by step, guiding her through a heavy set of glass doors and leading her into a beautifully decorated small opening. It was like a private, elevated decking that jutted out from the side of the hotel building, completely showing the beautiful night sky above.

I was impressed by how they were able to pull it off, but I couldn’t help but wonder if human blood was shed in turning the Cells into a reality. From the Cells, we were guided through a well-traveled pathway across a dark, murky wood, before we arrived at a very large clearing at the center of what seemed like a massive forest. Whispers from the guards who were escorting us to our destination informed me that we were at “The Vale”. I assumed that it was the Shade’s center of civilization. I guess I could say that it was the Blood Shade’s main town, built up of several structures, whose architectural styles were the likes I’ve never seen before – almost like a mix of modern and Victorian arc

She said, and rushed out of the room in a hurry. "I love you too.." Valerie yelled back, just enough for Maya to hear. The hot scorching sun tampered with her skin, but Valerie wasn't ready to give up. She needed any kind of job really badly, but it seemed like they were all rejecting her. She wondered if she was really affected with some kind of disease that made people run away from her, or try to avoid her. Tired of walking around with nothing fruitful, she stayed under a shade to prevent her skin from enduring more of the harsh sun rays. She dusted the sweats on her forehead off, and sat down on the long small stool under the shade she stayed.

My breath caught in my crushed throat. High above the southern archway, standing on the edge of the private tier balcony, stood the Triad Alphas. They hadn't missed it. Valerius Nightshade was leaning over the stone railing, his dark leather combat vest open, his crimson eyes glowing with a violent, intoxicating hunger. He had seen the speed. He had felt the micro-burst of kinetic movement that crossed ten yards of dirt in a fraction of a second.

As my sister and I walked to her rental car parked a mile away from Ezra’s house I regretted asking her for clothes. “I can’t believe you put me in this, Estelle.” She giggled. “You look hot!” I paused and gestured at my outfit. She brought me a short leather skirt that only barely covered my ass, knee-length boots, a white fitted tank top and a petite leather jacket. “The point was not to draw attention,” I said. “Shadow Valley is a shady place we have to fit in.” We climbed into her SUV. “So where’s your mini skirt?” I asked.
