His lips moved toward hers, drawn by a gravity he couldn't fight. But then, the second half of the prophecy echoed in his mind like a curse. “Beware the Shadow... the anchor that drags the King into the dust.” He looked down at Floreighn. She was pale. She was a servant. She was the Shadow Twin who lived in the corners of the world. The oracle hadn't just promised him a Sun; it had warned him about her. She wasn't his mate; she was the thief of empires sent by the Goddess to test his resolve. She was the anchor meant to keep him a commoner forever.

I demanded him. " Who told you that?" Easton asked. " I asked for the answer in Yes or No. So answer me did you or did you not?" I asked again. " I did, Mi reina. But that is in the past now. She means nothing to me. She is just a friend of mine. That's it." Easton told me while trying to reach for me when I was surrounded by eight of the Shadows that were stopping Easton from reaching me. "Are they shadows? Didn't they extinct a long time ago?" everyone asked looking at all the shadows shocked. They turned around and bowed down in front of me in respect.

in the sky didn't update. It "Shattered." And from the floor of the keep, the "Shadow-Heir"—the ghost of Kaelen’s "Weakness"—suddenly reappeared. But he wasn't a teenaged ghost anymore. He was a "High-End Avatar," his eyes two solid pools of "Market Liquid Gold." "The 'Re-founding' is over," the Shadow-Heir announced. "Now, let the 'Auction' begin."

Three wolves mauled by what smelled of shadow-tainted claws, remnants of the Shadow King’s lingering influence. Chaos ignited. I dove in without hesitation. My hands blazed with healing light as I stemmed arterial flows and purged venom from convulsing bodies. Leo watched wide-eyed from Thorne’s protective arms. His small frame was rigid. Blood soaked the earth. Howls of pain sliced the air. But I moved like a force unbound,?sealing gashes, anchoring shifting forms, whispering lunar incantations that pulled warriors back from the abyss. One sentinel gripped my wrist, eyes fever-bright. “Princess… the shadows stir again. They hunt something… royal.”

"He took my life, my identity, and now he's living with my name, my degrees. How can I just let that go?" I gave his back a comforting pat and met his gaze. "In a few days, when the weird end of days rolls in, we'll make him pay." Jim gave a small nod, his skin cooling down, no longer fired by my blood. Right then, I noticed something odd, the weak Haunts that had barely any strength were suddenly frantically feasting on my leftover blood. Their once translucent bodies filled with vigor as they started to circle and swoop around me. "I've got a plan!"

The sun hung high in the sky, casting a soft, golden hue over the sprawling grounds of New Moon Academy. The castle-like estate loomed majestically, its turrets piercing the clouds, while ivy clung to the stone walls like a protective embrace. Charlie Hale stood at the entrance, her heart racing with a mix of excitement and trepidation. Today marked a new beginning, a chance to leave behind the shadows of her past.

But Edrick and Erion are already mine, and together, we drowned their voices. I made sure to remind Rowland of Drago’s death and how weak he’s looked ever since. That was enough to do it. His pride couldn’t take any more.” The Shadow tilted his head slightly. “And he declared war?” I nodded once. “Moonlit is now officially at war with Pine Shadows.” The Shadow said nothing for a while, then his ghostly form slowly rose from the chair. Even that simple motion seemed unnatural…silent, and fluid, almost like he was just made of only the smoke and had no other physical form

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.

Forced me to kneel. Nothing like being recognized as the Shadow King there. I was rather limp and obedient. Then the chant grew louder. The room was becoming darker too. A voice, not mine, spoke from my throat. "By the blood that flows from the womb of betrayal, By the ashes of the women we buried unseen, I vow to the Order of the Crimson Shadow, To keep my heart from the touch of a woman.

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.
