Lingering Shadow

Di kedalaman Galaksi Vesper yang gelap, di bawah tarikan gravitasi Planet Aeterna, hiduplah Bangsa Eternian—makhluk humanoid yang keabadiannya adalah kutukan. Luke—Eternian terkuat, memiliki kekuatan terbesar dan hati yang paling hancur. Ditempa oleh 1.000 abad penantian, ia terikat pada sumpah kuno yang disebut “The Shadow Bond”. Ikatan ini memaksa Luke merasakan kesunyian abadi sejak kematian kekasih sejatinya. Bagi seorang Eternian, cinta sejati hanyalah satu, dan konsekuensi kehilangannya adalah obsesif, gelap, dan tak terhindarkan. Kini, The Shadow Bond telah bergetar. Luke tahu ia tidak lagi sendirian. Kekasihnya telah bereinkarnasi di sebuah dunia asing yang fana: Bumi. Namun, wanita itu terlahir sebagai manusia biasa, tanpa memori masa lalu, tanpa kekuatan untuk bertahan hidup di bawah rengkuhan gelap Luke. Luke telah menempuh ruang dan waktu, melintasi dimensi demi merebut kembali miliknya. Namun, apakah cinta yang begitu kuat hingga mampu melangkahi 1.000 abad akan membawa kebahagiaan, atau justru menghancurkan kekasihnya—untuk kedua kalinya—dengan konsekuensi yang jauh lebih mengerikan dari kematian?

Aria had always believed in fate until the night it betrayed her. Chosen by the Moon Goddess to be the mate of Alpha Kael of the powerful Shadow Moon Pack, she believed destiny had finally chosen her. But before the entire pack, Kael rejected her, tearing their sacred bond apart and leaving her broken, humiliated, and alone. Marked by a shattered bond and abandoned by the only home she has ever known, Aria is forced into the wilderness with nothing but her wounded wolf and the will to survive. Life beyond the pack is brutal, but it teaches her a truth she never understood before survival is not just instinct, it is strength. Pain becomes her teacher, and every step away from Shadow Moon forges her into something far more dangerous than the girl Kael cast aside. When the infamous Night Fang Alpha offers her refuge among his ruthless pack, Aria begins to discover a new side of herself. The darkness she once feared slowly becomes her greatest weapon. But Kael’s regret refuses to stay buried, and the echo of the bond he destroyed begins to draw attention from powerful enemies and forces tied to destiny itself. Now Aria must choose her own path. Will she remain the hunted wolf everyone expects her to be, or rise stronger than fate and become a wolf who kneels to no one?

For ten years, I spent by Damien Thorne's side, helping him transform from a servant's son into the powerful Alpha of Shadow Pack. I believed I would eventually see the day he'd claim me as his mate. Instead, he brought home Scarlett Rivers, his childhood sweetheart who had been living abroad, treating her like precious royalty while making her his Luna. To help his beloved Scarlett and free her parents from prison, Damien handed over my healing potion patents without hesitation. Even my own son was placed in Scarlett's care to secure her position as Shadow Pack's Luna. I became everything to Damien—his financial backer, his assistant, his healer, his bed partner—everything except what I truly wanted to be: his rightful mate. "Just wait a little longer," Damien always promised me. "Once I repay my debt to my childhood benefactor, you'll be my only mate." So, I kept waiting and waiting. But Damien seemed to forget his promises entirely. Even my own child began to despise me. Suddenly, exhaustion hit me like a tidal wave. Waiting felt pointless. I didn't want to do it anymore.

She was born of two worlds… and belonged to none. Wolfless and rejected by her own kind, Freya, the hybrid daughter of a witch and a wolf, was sold by her father to the most feared Alpha in the land—Logan of the Northridge Pack. Her only purpose? To bear his heir and strengthen his bloodline. But love was never part of the deal. Torn between his lingering feelings for his first love, Lucia, and the bond he cannot deny with Freya, Alpha Logan spirals—cold, cruel, and indifferent. And when tragedy strikes and Freya loses the baby, his words cut deeper than any blade: “You’re just a breeder.” Shattered and betrayed, Freya flees to the human world with the help of a mysterious ally. There, she finds peace… and perhaps a new beginning in Daniel, a kind stranger who sees her as more than just a tool. But fate isn’t done with her yet. A prophecy looms. A war brews. And when Logan’s brother returns to claim the throne, only Freya—his true mate and the key to his power—can save his legacy. But will she ever come back to the mate who broke her heart… or choose a new path, and a new love, forever?

Natalie Brooks, the young lady of the Brooks family, hid her identity to marry Samuel Morgan for love. The three-year cold marriage ended with a divorce when his first love, Lily, returned. Natalie left proudly, returning to her home, the most powerful Brooks family in New York, with her four talented brothers. Natalie gradually transformed into a strong businesswoman. Samuel was surprised because Natalie was completely different from the image of the weak wife she had been before. He began to waver, remembering the years of living together, but was still surrounded by Lily's weak pretense. Although Natalie was divorced, she still had lingering feelings, but she chose to strongly confront him, determined to prove her worth. From here, she continuously confronted Samuel and Lily, both to regain what she had lost and to force them to regret ever looking down on her. Meanwhile, Lily always played the role of the "weak girl", taking advantage of Samuel's pity, but she increasingly revealed her jealousy and hypocrisy. Natalie's brothers – especially Nathaniel Brooks and Henry Brooks – were fiercely protective of their sister and wanted Samuel to repent for what he had done to Natalie.

"Mom, Dad, I’ve decided to come home for the blind dates you mentioned. I’ll be back by the end of the month." In the early spring, with the lingering chill of winter in the air, Valerie Stonecutter pushed open the door while speaking softly into the phone. Her gentle voice drifted through the rain like a thread weaving through the mist. Pulling her collar tighter against the cold, she heard her parents breathe a sigh of relief on the other end. "Val," her father began, his voice heavy with age. “Your mom and I haven’t been in good health these past few years. So now that you’ve made up your mind, that’s good. When you’re back, I’ll have your Aunt Laura arrange a few suitable candidates for you to meet." Hearing that her parents were already making arrangements for her future, Valerie’s gaze flickered, her emotions momentarily unsettled. After a few more words of small talk, she ended the call. She glanced around her home with a heavy heart, her thoughts tangled in a quiet storm. Then she retreated to her bedroom and began to pack.
