I'm The Shadow Man Novels & Stories

"I failed." He brought her hand to his lips. "I won't fail again," he vowed. "No one who touched you will survive the night. I will find this Shadow Man. I will find Ryan. And I will make them pray for the mercy of death." Outside, the moon went behind a cloud, plunging the city into darkness. Somewhere in the shadows of the Rogue Lands, deep in a cave illuminated by green witch-fire, a hooded figure watched the broadcast on a cracked tablet.

Their existence edited from the world's story. One bandit, quicker than his fellows, managed to land a blow. His cudgel shattered against armoured skin that had forgotten how to yield. The Shadow Knight caught the man's wrist, squeezed slightly. Bones liquefied. The bandit's screams provided pleasant counterpoint to the symphony of violence. Some tried to flee. Distance meant nothing now. The Shadow Knight stepped between heartbeats, appearing before runners like a nightmare made manifest. Shadow-tendrils erupted from his form, piercing hearts, crushing windpipes, painting the clearing in patterns of artistic death.

“You’re drooling, Little River.” He teases lightly, and I flush. “Sorry” I murmur, but before he can say anything, something moves beside him and moves towards me as if coming in for a hug. I scream and jump back, only to take a close look… What in the Dr. Facilier shit, is this? Is that his shadow casually coming my way? “I-uh-I…” “Back.” He says, and the shadow seems to deflate sadly and then retreat into his actual shadow.

Arthur sighed for he was wondering himself of this question. Why he, Arthur Adamos, was waiting for the right time to claim his mate, Diana Marchand as if there will be something coming their way to separate them? Perhaps there was an obstacle. Her brother, Xavier, was the Beta of the Shadow Pack and Arthur doesn't want any trouble with him. Xavier can be scary if his sister was in threat. Arthur shook that question away before there was a commotion and a crowd was drawing up as he was approaching the incident. He saw the warriors that were on duty that night before he shifted to his human form before walking into the crime scene.

I clear my voice and took a deep breath as I mentally prepare myself to read this monstrosity. ’I love you. I know for a fact that I will never be able to understand why you question how much I do... But you have given me something I’ve never had. And that’s my shadow. Love isn’t selfless, sweet, or innocent. Love is dark, selfish, and passionate. And I wouldn’t have known what love genuinely was without you. Love is a dangerous drug with intoxicating feelings as side effects. You may think being my shadow is terrible, but what is light without its darkness? What’s a life without the inevitable death? You must realize how much you mean to me, right? I even made this sappy speech for you. But

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

The only light in the room was a bare bulb hanging from its electric wires, and it was sent swinging, throwing dancing shadows across everything. Emily's attention snapped over to see what the commotion was, and she found two men standing the doorway, framed by the aged wood. At first, she could only make out their silhouettes in the darkness, and a hint of features as the light swung their way. Then they moved more fully into the room, and she got a clear view of them.

"Unless you want to die here. Your choice. I won't judge either way." "Who are you?" Lyra's voice came out as a croak. Raw, broken, tired. "Someone who knows what it's like to be thrown away." The woman crossed her arms. Her stance was casual but her eyes were alert. Watchful. "Name's Raven. You're in the rogue territories now, girl. This is where packs dump wolves they don't want anymore. Traitors. Criminals. Inconvenient truths. Wolves who asked too many questions or threatened the wrong people."

As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden hue over campus, Charlie, Maya, Ethan, and Liam gathered in their secret hiding place, the old abandoned hedge garden behind the science building. The air was thick with anticipation; they had been waiting for this moment for weeks. The four friends had been diligently gathering information about the plot against the werewolf king, and now they were ready to share their findings with Jessica.

He really sounded pissed now. " Because you offered us a very generous amount of money. And we are always open to negotiations." The man said, his voice smooth. " 'Us'?" Damon asked. " Let's just say I am Shadow's associate. I handle the... physical aspect of our business." The man explained. I didn't like the sound of that. " What's your name?" Damon asked. " Ghost." The man replied. " That's not a real name." Damon countered. The man chuckled, like Damon just said something hilarious.
