Heartless Shadow Novels & Stories

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. "Nolan," I whispered gently, staring at the rain splattering against the cafe windows. "I used to understand why you couldn't forget your first love. 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

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. I woke up in the hospital; no one was around, but the pain I felt had subsided. ‘How did I get here?’ I asked myself; just then a nurse walked in. “You are awake, Mrs. Adams." "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

His beta is standing behind him in the distance, giving me the death stare. His face is hardened with his jaw being clenched, and there is so much hatred in his eyes. He disappears just as the warriors walk past him. Zephina starts to stir in my head and growl. The beta is up to something Shadow. Watch your back. She's right. Jaxxon can't be trusted, but why?

My breath came in sharp, shallow bursts as I stared at Marcus's lifeless body, the pool of blood around him spreading like ink on a parchment. I hadn't done this. I couldn’t have done this. Could I? A jolt of panic coursed through me, snapping me out of my frozen state. I backed away, my gaze darting around the room. The shadows on the walls seemed alive, coming closer to me. I needed to think, to move, but my legs felt like lead.

One moment she was powerless, the bond being stripped away piece by piece. The next, her wolf rose up inside her like a tidal wave. Like a dam breaking. Stronger than ever before. Wild. Ancient. For three heartbeats, Lyra felt power she'd never experienced. Power she'd never even imagined. Power that made the air around her shimmer and ripple. Power that made shadows dance at her feet like living things. Power that made the pack members step back in fear. Helena's face went white. Snow white. Her green eyes widened in recognition and something else.

The boy’s voice didn't echo; it absorbed the sound of the world around it. Standing in the crumbling tunnel, the "Shadow Heir" looked less like a monster and more like a terrifyingly perfect sculpture of a child. The glowing sphere in his hand pulsed in time with my own fading heartbeat, a physical manifestation of the "Final Liquidation."

Anna remained perched on the stone altar, the white shroud clinging to her skin, but her gaze was fixed on the space between the boiling iron pot and the old woman. Standing there was a shadow that didn't belong to the dead or the living. It was a young woman, translucent and radiant, her hair the color of midnight and her eyes the same electric blue that had defined Anna’s life. She looked so much like Elara, but the age was wrong,she was a snapshot of a girl who had never been allowed to grow old. The shadow girl pointed a delicate finger at the Crone, then at herself, and finally at Anna.

None of them had been the destination. They had been obstacles. The shadow hadn’t wanted the world. It wanted access to the Heart. To the place where memory, identity, and existence itself were woven together. The place where Lyra had hidden something. Or someone. My pulse quickened. The girl saw it. She immediately looked away. Too late. I’d noticed. “There’s something else.” Silence. The girl closed her eyes. The Heart groaned around us. The shadow took another step forward. Closer.
