"Look at this! Here's the seven thousand and five hundred dollars you sent me to keep quiet. You can't deny this!" I stared at the so-called damning evidence and could not help but find the whole thing laughable. That woman really thought she could pin that on me with such flimsy proof. "Ms. Lewis, are you absolutely certain that those lingerie sets are a personal gift from me, a symbol of our commitment?" "Without a doubt!" she replied. I was done playing games with Sarah. It was time to tear her story apart. "This is just absurd. Our company provides a full set of clothing to the students we sponsor every year, including underwear. It's all part of our charity work. Do you need me to pull

She received designer gowns, diamond bracelets, limited-edition bags, and even a private beach villa worth millions. My phone slipped from my hand and shattered against the pavement. The cracked screen reflected my pale face. I used every ounce of strength just to stop my hands from shaking long enough to save screenshots of every transaction. ... The next morning, I went home to pack my things. What I saw was Nolan walking out of Irene's bedroom shirtless. When he saw me, he narrowed his eyes lazily, clearly in a good mood. "Babe, you're back?" Irene wrapped her arms around his neck smugly. Her skin was covered in marks that made it obvious what they had been doing.

**** Deep beneath the mountain… The shadow slid through stone cracks like smoke. It entered the cavern without a sound, gathering itself on the floor until it rose, shaping into something vaguely humanoid, tall, and wrong, shifting like tar that refused to settle. Two red coals flared in its center. A voice seeped out, distorted and layered. “She hid,” the shadow hissed. “The Sorcerer hid from me.” The cavern rumbled, walls trembling as Shade emerged from the darkness, taller, denser, power radiating from him like heat from an inferno.

Karina was covered in sweats, her teeth gritting as she poured all her force into slowing down the momentum of Hail’s final attack. Without another word, the other Nobles summoned their shadow. The blackness of its feature stretched until they connected. It was only then that it stretched into a dome that covered all of them. At the same time, Sloane called upon her shadow who stretched in the basis of her shadow. Before the dome closed upon her, she’d seen Sloane winked at her and she felt a warm sensation stabbing her stomach.

she said, her gaze turning to me. “You have your father’s eyes, Winifred. But you have your mother’s stubbornness. It’s a dangerous combination.” ​“We need the crown,” I said, stepping forward. “Leo told us about the Pact. He said the shadow is consuming me.” ​The Crone laughed, a sound like glass breaking. “The shadow isn't consuming you, child. It is trying to wake you up. But you are too busy trying to be a hero to realize that the hero always dies in the end. Come inside. We have much to discuss, and very little time before the moon reaches its zenith.”

Layna shifted uncomfortably, her unease palpable, as The Shadows closed in, their icy, unforgiving energy enveloping us like a shroud. The Shadows' presence was a balm to my fractured soul, a beacon of hope in the darkness. I knew they possessed the power to revive Roxy, to defy even death itself.

Liam is quick to pull me flush against the wall of the cinema building, shielding me from the hysteria with his body. “It’s a Shadow attack!” Someone shouts, their words causing my body to freeze and blood to run cold. Peering over Liam’s shoulder, I spot two shadows, their tall frames standing at nearly seven feet towering over a she-wolf whose body sported deep, bleeding gashes. The Shadow with long flowing black hair and crimson eyes sneers, licking the blood of the she-wolf from his claws with a forked tongue. “Who would have thought Ottawa would be easy to enter once all the snow began to melt?” His companion chuckles out, his voice distorted with a gurgling.

He placed the tray carefully while correcting her. “Yes?” Shadow rotated her neck and inspected the darkness outside. “I still can’t differentiate the shade.” “I have read the clock if that can be considered a reliable source of my answer, My Lord.” “Don’t be sneaky or patronize me. I don’t appreciate it in the early morning.” “As you wish.” Hades placed the hot coffee right in front of Shadow and a slice of vanilla cake. “Please have a taste.” He offered the fork to her. “This early morning?”
