Raphael Shadowhunters Novels & Stories

Shadow told me his name was Cain, and I should never make eye contact with him unless I had a death wish and a signed will. Then there were the groups the ones that ran in packs like wolves, They laughed too loud and Hit too hard but also Moved in unison. Shadow leaned next to me at some point and pointed them out one by one. “Those are the Hounds,” he muttered. “They backstab for fun.”... I just nodded then my gaze moved to ... I don't know the dude looks short. “And that little dude?” “Don’t be fooled,” Shadow said. “He once ripped a guy’s ear off with his teeth. He’s sixteen.”

The morning light filtered weakly through the curtains, casting fractured patterns on the floor — much like my thoughts, splintered and jagged. I sat at the small kitchen table, clutching my cup of cold coffee, staring at the leather-bound book *Reflections of the Forgotten* open before me. The stories inside weren’t just tales — they were warnings, lessons written in sorrow and hope. Women who had lived as shadows, trapped in lives borrowed from others, fighting to reclaim their own reflections.

Shadowed figures watching from behind trees. And eyes— red, empty, ravenous. Raine jolted back, gasping. Damon was at her side instantly. “What did you see?” She swallowed hard. “Hunters. Not human ones.” Lucian swore softly. “Shadow Hunters.” Kael’s expression turned lethal. “No. Those creatures haven’t been seen in decades.” “Because the Council controlled them,” Damon said darkly. “If they’ve escaped—or been released—” Raine pressed a hand to her forehead, shaking.

The force of their combined energy shattered darkness, sending ripples of light across the battlefield. The Shadow’s master roared in disbelief, and the massive shadow began to retreat into the mountains. Soldiers cheered, creatures roared, and the Alpha Hunter growled in triumph. Lucian landed beside Ethan, golden wings folding slowly. “Kid… you’ve done it. But remember… this is only the beginning. They will return, stronger, faster, mo

Then, after the northern threat was repelled — after the vampires had bled for a war that was not theirs — the human court had closed the gates, burned the written agreement, and sent an army to meet the returning vampire warriors at the valley pass. Not to welcome them. The vampires came back expecting peace and found an ambush waiting. The margin of one page, written in different ink and a different hand — added later, by someone who had access to these records and a conscience they couldn't fully silence — contained a single line: eighty percent casualties in the first hour.

As we sat in the front seat of the car, Jack gently held my hand. "Don't think too much, Olivia. You'll forever hold the position of my Luna. I vow it to you," he said, and I remained silent and smiled in response. Somehow, I had managed to fake believing his words.

Some said that the Alpha Williams only attacked when provoked, but the majority viewed h
