“But boss, does this mean that If this works out, I I’ll finally be promoted from my chauffeur duties? No more of these ‘executioner’ roles?” I allowed a slow, cold smile to spread across my lips. “If we succeed Caleb, you’ll be elevated from ‘The Shadow’ to ‘The Keeper of the Seal.’ It’s a prestigious role with substantial influence within The Shepherd’s Keep.” A flash of hope crossed his face, quickly masked by a hardened resolve “And Vanessa? What’s next for her though?” I leaned back, the leather creaking under my weight. “Vanessa’s role was always meant to be temporary. Her job was to catalyze Adrian’s downfall. Once our goals are achieved, her future will be reassessed. For now, she ha

Meridian’s consciousness was probing, testing, but he fought to align with it. And then, the trial escalated. Shadows of every enemy, every threat he had ever faced, appeared before him: Bishop’s twisted grin, Vex’s betrayal, Serpents rising from the streets, and even fragments of the shadow that had attacked Luca. They surged forward, a tidal wave of darkness and malice. Riven unleashed the crown key, energy lancing out in precise strikes, purging shadows, but the more he destroyed, the more they multiplied. Meridian’s voice echoed in his mind:

Frostbite glowed faintly in the night — guarded, strong, united. If someone thought they could control royal blood… They were mistaken. Because I was not becoming someone’s weapon. I was becoming myself. And that thought steadied me more than anything else. The snow fell steadily outside. Peaceful. For now. But somewhere in history’s shadows… An old name was stirring again. And whether they called themselves Shadow Covenant or something new They were about to learn something the past had already proven. Royal blood does not submit. It rises.

“I know.” “You can tell me to stop.” Jamie looked at him. Really looked. The scar. The control. The restraint that felt like it was holding something dangerous in check. “I don’t want you to stop,” Jamie said, then winced. “I mean….” Adrian didn’t smile. He didn’t gloat. He just nodded, like that answer fit into something he’d already decided. “Good,” he said. Behind them, unseen but aware, La Corona Nera watched. And after midnight, Bar Della Luna closed its doors, keeping its secrets, for now.

Another explosion rocked behind their back and the impact flew the three of them to the other side of the ground. “This is a fucking annoying,” Shadow yelled as she hauled the crown prince and her brother inside the sunk ground. “I can tell this is a setup. Fucking bastard.” Yet, a smile emerged on her face. “You think?” The crown prince’s expression changed indefinitely. “What the hell, man?” The wolf howled. Albert ignored this ungrateful brat and spared his attention on his sister. “What should we do? Should we fight back?” Shadow looked around and ducked yet again.

"We keep it from the king. If he finds it, he can use it to undo the binding. He can take the shadow from you without killing you. He can wear it himself. He can become what the first wolf feared." The room went silent. The gold light pulsed. The crown pressed against my temples. "Then we destroy it," Theron said. Lysander shook his head. "It cannot be destroyed. It is made of the same stuff as the crown. As the shadow. As the bloodline. It can only be hidden. Or wielded." Cassian stepped forward. He reached for the sword, his hand steady, his grey eyes fixed on the dark blade. "What are you doing?" I asked.

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.”

I had only seen it once in a forbidden archive buried in the bone libraries of the Shadow Fangs. The Crownless Wolf. A bloodline long thought purged. A royal line that walked with spirit beasts and commanded ancient magic. And if he has returned, and if he is hers, then Zenith is no longer just a sweet artist with gentle eyes. She is standing in the middle of a war.

Zayn spat blood and whispered, horrified, “She’s not just conquering the realms… she’s bending the world.” Sera clutched Adrien’s arm. “She’ll tear it apart if we don’t stop her.” Above them, Liora’s body shuddered. For an instant, her face twisted, part horror, part plea. “Help me,” she whispered. But the shadow-crown forced her lips into a cruel smile again. Then she spread both arms wide and the spire flared so brightly the world went white.
