He Loved Me In Her Shadow Novels & Stories

She collapsed against a tree, hand pressed to her stomach. She ran deeper into the shadows, the pack’s laughter echoing behind her, Kael’s rejection branded into her soul like his bite on her neck.

I lay there, trembling, tasting blood, my body aching, but it was my heart that felt shattered beyond repair. As darkness slowly pulled me under, one thought echoed in my mind: he chose her.

"The doctor said you should rest and you still need to recover. I will be right back." She said as she stepped out. As I sat on the bed, everything my sister said replayed in my head, and Cole’s betrayal

"The shadow is part of you. But it does not have to control you." I nod slowly. "I understand." "Do you? Because you are still holding it in. Still hiding it. Still pretending it is not there." I look away. "I do not want Kael to see me like this. Weak. Afraid." "Kael has seen you at your weakest. He has seen you at your strongest. He loves you for all of you." She lifts my chin.

The world thought we were gone, but we were just beginning to breathe. The stars above were different now, closer, brighter, and entirely ours.

I lifted my head, looked straight into its cold empty eyes, and spoke clear and loud and sure. “They are afraid because they do not understand. But you… you do not understand anything at all. You think power means taking, breaking, ruling. You think being strong means being alone. You think my greatest gift is that I hold two powers… but you are wrong. My greatest gift is that I was loved. That I was taught. That I was given every chance to be good. And you… you were given nothing. You were made only to destroy. And that is why you will always be weaker than me.” The shadow’s face twisted, smooth features cracking into something sharp and ugly. “You think love will save you? Love is a chain.

It was probably the first time he had ever seen me this heartless toward him. Rain poured endlessly from the gray sky, the poor weather causing my injured leg to ache faintly.

I had once believed that I'd probably carry memories of you forever if we ended things." A gentle smile appeared on my face as I gazed at the flowers outside, their petals torn by the storm. "You knew everything Irene did to me. Yet, you still chose to hide the truth because you knew I couldn't leave you. But you forgot one important thing… I am human, and I have this pes

If I could, I would have done it. "Aren't you surprised, that he keeps telling you that he wants you but he also leaves you over and over again." He says. I stared at Shadow. "Not that I'm insulting him Moon, I'm just concerned about you. And I don't want to see you like that." He added and hugged me. "If I could just teach your heart to love me I would have done it." He whispered as he hugged me. There my tears flowed again. Why is it that I still like Zero even though Shadow is here.

Shadow was just laying there like he was waiting for her to kill him. “ANSWER ME? HOW COULD YOU? HOW COULD YOU MARK THAT BITCH!” Scarlett yelled, at Shadow who just sat there with sad eyes. Why the hell wasn't he trying to fight that bitch. “Because she was my mate, and I had realized it at that moment that I have loved her from the moment I saw her. I allowed you and our past to keep me away from her and my sons.

It was there in his laugh when she poked him in the nose with her ice cream, or in the way he always had to have some part touching her, even if it was just a foot linked with Bella's as they sat watching movies late into the night. But most of all, Shadow showed her in the form of a statue, made by a twelve-year-old when they thought they were lost to each other forever. "I love you Shadow; it's only ever been you; no one else has ever held my heart or sampled my body. I've waited my whole life for you."
