Shadow Blade Hope Novels & Stories

"The goddess always seems to bless Hellhound males with smart women. The gods know those males need them. You're right; myths tend to come from a truth albeit perhaps an embellished truth. Shadow Wolves are no different although I'm not sure there are any werewolves alive today who know the story. "The story goes that Shadow Wolves are the spirits of fallen werewolves that manifest from the shadows around us when summoned. Only one strong enough to control these creatures has the ability to conjure them. They grant a single wish to the person that summons them and they can't be summoned again by that person once the wish has been fulfilled." "But that's not true, is it?" Chloe raised an eyeb

I can feel it, that small sliver of hope that if I go to the lake, maybe I’ll find a way to free us both. The night air is cool as I step outside, and the faint smell of damp earth fills my lungs. I walk toward the lake with purpose, the rhythmic crunch of gravel beneath my boots the only sound breaking the stillness of the night. I don’t know what to expect, but I’ve already made up my mind. I won’t let fear control me. I won’t be a pawn in some ancient game.

A tear trailed down my cheek. But this time, it wasn’t grief. It was hope. Hope that maybe, just maybe, this wasn’t the end of our story. It was the beginning of our comeback. And no one—not Viktor, not his shadows, not even death itself—would take her from us again.

Vanadine looked down to see the curved blade in his hand, surprised at its existence as he had no memory of finding it. “Are the council members so pathetic they fear one lone hybrid with a small knife?” Vanadine sneered as he tossed the blade at the captain’s feet. The guards formed up around him, the captain taking the lead and offering Vanadine his back. I should kill them all. He thought. Yet you might not make it to see Carine again. Shock hit him at the thought. Not due to the thought itself but because it seemed to have come from his darker side.

Even though she no longer belonged to the Evil Shadow Sect, she had yet to kick the habit of calling herself one of them. Chase was unperturbed by their arrogance when he saw they were only peak martial gods. The accountant lookalike, Shore, also known as Hopeless Sword, noticed Chase and the others below them. "Huh? Why does that young woman look so much like Carla Lyre?" He focused his sight on Chase and the others, and his gaze stopped on Willow's face.

Blaze whispered in her ear. She sighed. “I know, I just... I need her back in my arms.” She silently sobbed. “We will get her back, as much as Courtney has done, I really think that she will take care of our little girl.” Blaze said. “Blaze... I don’t know.” Storm softly said. “Storm, I know this is hard for you, but I can promise that we will bring River back to you. The Shadows have never failed a mission.” Kydence said, trying to assure her with a smile.

She used her silver light to create barriers, protecting the students as they ran for the exits. “Get them to the woods!” Killian roared, throwing a soldier across the room. Hope looked at the students. She saw the fear in their eyes, but she also saw hope when they looked at her. They thought she was Faith. She didn't correct them. She stood tall, her silver eyes glowing, acting as a shield for the innocent. Go! Now! Hope commanded, her voice sounding exactly like her sister’s. But then, a heavy thud shook the Hall. The front doors were ripped off their hinges. A man in gold armor walked in. He carried a spear that glowed with a dark, oily light.

Her eyes were bright, reflecting the firelight like shards of ice. “Then let’s test what kind of decision you’ll make,” she said. The hall shifted. Warriors moved aside to clear the space. Someone handed her a wooden practice blade, its edge wrapped in leather.

The fire roared between them.
