But his voice wavers—just a little—and that’s what makes me take one step closer. Before I can respond, I feel the strength of the shadows encasing me. A sharp pain courses through my body, and for a moment, the darkness swallows me whole. But then, Shadow’s hands wrap around me—steady, relentless. His energy flows into mine, merging with it, and for an instant, all I feel is him. His love, his rage, his pain… everything. It’s as if our souls are intertwined so deeply we cannot live without each other. “I told you I didn’t care what happened,” Shadow replies, his eyes blazing with overwhelming intensity. “You won’t tear us apart. You can’t.”

‘’Chase saw what happened, I know you did seem surprised when the shadows showed up and they love you, not only do you love but I could see the longing and lust in your eyes staring back at them’’ ‘’Don't be stupid Enzo ’’ Chase hissed. ‘’We all know shadows are not a person, like what they are called, they are nothing but shadows. How can I love something I can't hold or feel, isn't that absurd?’’ Enzo knew it was pathetic he had to resort to such thinking but he knew what he saw.

“Why am I here? What do you want from me? I was with someone in the bar. Is he here too? Are you holding him too? I’m losing circulation in my hands.” Heloise had all she could do to refrain from giggling with delight over her former lover’s distress. It gave her intense satisfaction to see him suffer, even if it wasn’t the type of suffering she felt he should be experiencing. It was at least suffering and a prelude to the emotional turmoil that awaited him and his mousy little lover girl. It was bad enough to discover that he’d been bonded to the next ruler of shadow land without learning that he was happily in love with her. It was just too unfair.

We peeked around the corner, we saw Calous graveling before an open door. “Listen to me please. I have to marry her, or our people will die. Do you really think I would choose that disgusting pig over you?” ‘I can’t believe I have to marry that disgusting pig…’ the words echoed in my head. I didn’t hear anymore of their conversation, as I felt a huge sadness wash over me. I looked down at my body. I was extremely heavy, who would love a woman such as me. ‘If you wish for your husband to love you, then lose some weight.’ ‘This was the only way for you to have a husband.’ I turned and started walking away. I was never meant to be loved, a contract was made so I would not be alone… I still didn

Adrian stood in a meadow, sunlight pouring through a pale sky. His mother was there, standing at a distance in her familiar white gown, her smile the same as when she used to tuck him in at night. “Adrian,” she called softly, her voice a balm. “You’ve grown into everything I hoped for. I’m proud of you.” He took a step forward, heart leaping. “Mom—don’t go, please—” But the sunlight dimmed. The air thickened. Dark clouds rolled across the meadow, swallowing the light. His mother’s figure began to blur, fading like mist until only her gown remained—dropped on the grass, soaked red with blood.

“So I’m your shadow now?” Damian stepped closer, eyes sharp. “You’re under my protection. There’s a difference.” The room seemed to shrink, his presence pressing in, heavy and undeniable. For one terrifying, intoxicating moment, Amara wondered if the danger wasn’t outside at all - but standing right in front of her. The man cleared his throat. “There’s more.” He tapped the folder again and slid another photograph across the table. Amara’s blood ran cold. It wasn’t her. It wasn’t Damian.

Lucky there’s nothing deep needing stitches. In my grieving and broken state, I begin to feel faint. I let myself go and pass out. Opening my eyes I feel myself transported into another realm. Standing in front of me is my grandmother’s house which stands in front of a looming property which I dare not go near. The “LeFleur” mansion. A place said to belong to my ancestors from centuries ago. A place that continues to haunt my dreams since a child. Something about this place calls to my soul, it pulls me and begs me to return. The house stands in the Normandy countryside. She feels it in the wind and air, she feels it in the depths of the earth, it’s as if a spirit like a piece of me is locke

Beautiful words that I barely heard because I was lost in Alexander's eyes. Those gray eyes that had looked at me with hostility in our first board meeting. Now looking at me with so much love I could hardly breathe. We'd come so far from those early days of fighting and mistrust. Built something real through all the conflict and danger and growth. The officiant talked about two people choosing each other. About partnership being harder but more rewarding than going it alone. About love being a verb that required action every single day. Every word felt true and important and right for us.

New love was strong, the alliance stronger, but the enemy had no heart, no mercy. The chapter closed on cliff-edge tension: love, grief, rage, alliance, and danger. The shadow waited.

I love that he loves to cook. He carried me to the bed, propping me up with some pillows, handing me a book to read. It was one I had gotten out of the library we found yesterday.
