My heart skipped a beat, knowing that he was about to introduce me. "Today, our Nightwalkers pack welcomes a new member, Zoe Ernest. Let us welcome Miss Ernest to the stage," his powerful voice resonated throughout the hall. My steps were quick, despite my legs feeling weak. All eyes in the room, including his, were fixed on me, intensifying my nerves. Standing at the podium, I deliberately avoided looking in his direction. Alpha Alis draped a cloak symbolizing the Nightwalkers pack over my shoulders, embroidered with the emblem resembling both a crescent moon and a sickle. I softly thanked Alpha Alis and then bowed to the audience as Aunt Mary had instructed. Amid the warm applause, I swift

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

A cool wind ruffled the shadow’s mid length hair as he stared down at the soup of humanity. Four storeys below him the city of Bichester spread away in an urban sprawl. Perched above the lights that illuminated everything with a sickly, yellow hue, he was invisible to all, even if they happened to look up at the bank’s Victorian edifice.

“She can’t go because if she’s spotted, she’ll get in trouble. My sister and I can go.” “Your faces will be expected to be covered by masks,” Matteo states. “What, do you think they like to look into the faces of the people serving them? Omegas are supposed to be as invisible as possible to those people, and unremarkable in every way. They should never stand out. They should remain in the shadows. That’s where our advantage lies. You never expect your own shadow to wrap its hands around your neck, do you? You don’t expect it to have a mind of its own. Its purpose is to follow you around forever, and do what you do. Well, that was our role before. Now, we fight for something better.” His spee

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.

His blood joined Logan's in the bowl, red and vital. Finally, it was my turn. I pressed the knife to my own wrist, but before I could cut, a scream tore through the air. I looked up to see our defensive line breaking. The rogues were pushing through, overwhelming our fighters with sheer numbers. And behind them, walking calmly through the chaos, was a figure I'd never seen before but instantly recognized. The Queen of Shadows. She was beautiful in a terrible way, her skin pale as death, her hair black as night. Her eyes were pits of darkness, empty and hungry. She wore a crown of twisted metal that seemed to absorb light rather than reflect it.

But as soon as I reached out, a wall of shadow erupted between us, slamming into me so hard I hit the ground. The darkness wasn’t just a barrier. It was alive. It hissed in a voice that slithered like smoke. > “You shouldn’t have come here, little Alpha.” I lifted my head, and there she was. The Queen of Shadows stood at the edge of the platform, her eyes like twin storms of violet and silver. Her long cloak flowed as if made of mist, her expression serene—but I could feel the power radiating from her, deep and cold as the ocean.

“She wanted to forget me. But I am not her enemy. I am her truth.” Kimberly’s hands shook. “Truth can still destroy.” The Queen smiled faintly. “Only if you hide from it.” --- The Shadow Claim The Queen rose, spreading her arms. The cracked moon above pulsed once—darkness bleeding from it like water through paper. “The Heart will remember me,” she said. “And when it does, there will be no more division.” She looked down at Kimberly with something almost tender. “You could join me, Balance Keeper. You carry both light and shadow. You understand what Selene denied.”

‎ ‎The smoke forms a shape a shadow with glowing red eyes, tall and fluid, whispering in a voice that isn’t meant for mortal ears. ‎ ‎“You think you’ve slain the Queen…” it hisses. “…but her power cannot die.” ‎ ‎The shadow spreads, reaching toward the sky. The air grows cold again, the earth trembling beneath me. ‎ ‎ ‎
