Nightshade Keri Lake Novels & Stories

He kept the speed deliberately slow, cruising through the not-so-busy streets. “How about we go to that lake we used to go to?” Jeremy suggested. “This late at night?” “The moon is bright enough, even if it’s not full. What do you think?” The lake was quite far from here, near the border of Pinecrest. The route was up a hill with a narrow path flanked by forest on both sides. During the day, it was calm and quiet—perfect for a hiking trail. But at night, it offered little in the way of scenery, only darkness.

I looked up at the sky and noticed that the sun and the moon were drawing near, indicating the arrival of the total lunar eclipse —the blood moon. “Where are you taking me?” I asked, resting my head on his chest, trying to control the pain and tears that kept threatening to escape. “There's a secret place, known only to our trusted wolves. This lake is blessed by our goddess Luna, and its water holds mystical healing powers.” I was surprised as Harvey lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on the top of my head. “Your pain will be eased.”

Shedrack offered me a ride but as usual, I turned it down because I unconsciously expected Killian to be hanging around somewhere. “I knew you would turn it down.” He gave me a tight-lipped smile. “Well, there is a little lake party I'm hosting at the lakehouse outside of the pack. You are invited. Some of my human friends will be coming, not just Ryan and Jessica. We leave tomorrow by 6 am, I will have your shift covered if you agree to come. Please say yes. I need cool people at this party.” He put his hands together begging me but 8 was confused. “You think I'm cool?”

I had healed over the summer but had a permanent S scar on my face. The year I turned 11 was when I met Kierra at school. She was from The SilverLake Pack. She was beautiful and tall. But everyone was taller than me. She had tanned skin, dark brown hair and beautiful emerald green eyes. She had a calming aura and I always felt peace when I was around her. She was an omega. Her twin brothers, Landon and Luca were a year older than us. They were training to be warriors. Kierra’s mother was the pack doctor and her father was the head warrior.

“We’ll have these pasted on the wall.” Killian paid for their meal and together, they exited the diner. Killian heard her gasp, “What is it?” He inquired, wondering if she was all right. “It looks so beautiful.” Killian traced her gaze and saw the lake she was staring at. It was indeed beautiful. It was night time and there was moonlight casting an ethereal glow over the lake. “We can go there.” Killian suggested. Penelope was happy to hear the suggestion, “Really?”

I announced, turning the car off and meeting all the kids' eyes. "Where is this?" Leah asked eyeing the lake and the flowers with a confused look. "It looks kind of familiar." "It should." I said simply getting out the car and stretching. In front of us was Ozmit Lake, the very same lake where the Lycan Warriors performed mourning rituals. Even though the twins were too young to remember it, Leah wasn’t. This was the lake that my parents were sent afloat on and burned after they were killed. This was somewhat of a sacred place and the perfect place for a peaceful picnic.

When Lily met Lewis at the mall they never talked about ken or Tina each pretended not to know. But when Lewis put one of his means to tail Lily without her knowledge he noted that she was buying maternity outfits and informed his boss Lewis who told him to tail her until he found her destination. The private investigator followed Kevin’s taxi until it arrived at the cottage by the lake house where the Kings family often held their holidays, especially on Christmas and thanksgiving, and summer holidays when they are not traveling abroad. The Lakehouse was located in a serene environment, you can go fishing or rafting in a boat or hiking in the woods away from the noisy town.

Without planning to, I found myself painting a lake scene, moonlight reflecting on dark water, surrounded by shadowy trees. "Shadowlight," Odette observed, glancing at my canvas. "You captured it beautifully." I hadn't consciously intended to paint the sacred lake, but now that she mentioned it, the resemblance was unmistakable. "It's a special place," I said quietly. "It is," she agreed. "Though I think it's become more special recently for reasons that have nothing to do with Royal Pack history." I couldn't argue with that. Shadowlight Lake would forever be intertwined with the memory of Carson's kiss, of the moment our wolves had finally acknowledged what they'd known all along.

Lucas asked, sitting down next to me. “My parents’ letters mention their secret place a lot,” I explained. “And a lot of these pictures look like they were taken in the same place. If it meant so much to her, it wouldn’t be hard believe she’d send me there. The question is — is this where Korinna is?” “Where is this lake you’re talking about?” Lucas asked. “Just past the southern border,” Jaden said. “In the old rogue territory.” “Rogue territory?” I commented. “I thought it was human territory?”
