Damon leaned back, deliberate, the weight of silence filling the space. “You’ve been busy,” Damon said, sliding a folder across the table. Screenshots of the copycat’s code stared back, line after sloppy line. “Impersonating a ghost takes a certain kind of arrogance.” The man swallowed hard. “Look, I---- It was never supposed to get this far. Everyone in the darknet already thinks ShadowByte is untouchable. I just, borrowed the name. Cash in on the fear. That’s all.” Damon’s eyes sharpened. “Borrowed?”

“We need access to my room. There’s a hidden wall behind my clothes, in my closet —inside are the prophecy clues . We need to start solving this bloody mess before she wears my face to my funeral.” “So… we steal the key from Theo?” Sonia sounds far too excited about this. I grin, savoring the moment. > “No need. You two forget who I am.” They both pause mid-chew. “I’m SHADOW. I don’t need keys to open doors. When I came here to help with the killer, I already memorized the castle plans. The only place I couldn’t access was the hidden library—because it wasn’t on the plans. But the rest? I can get in. What I need is backup—to clean and sort the room before anyone realizes what we’re doing.”

I was Eleanor Silverclaw, daughter of Carlos Silverclaw, the most respected elder of the Darkmoon Pack. The night Dad died from a heart attack, Andrew Rasmussen, my childhood friend and the pack's greatest warrior, stayed by my side. That same night, he stood over my father’s fading body and swore to protect me for the rest of his life. He promised to take me as his mate, to shield me from every storm. And I believed him. Even after Ryan Hebert, my former fiancé and a Beta of the Darkmoon Pack, publicly rejected me and marked Daisy instead，humiliating me and denouncing my unborn child.I still took Andrew’s hand. I believed he was my last safe harbor.

And this hotel claimed being a five star. Five star of shit. "I-I can't," I struggled trying to reach the switch whilst tiptoeing and accidentally knocking down some of the conditioners. "Grey, what are you doing?" "Robbing a bank." "Good for you." I heard him say. "I-I can't reach the stupid heater!" I groaned. "Do you need it?" He sounded annoyed. "Yes, yess Sinister." I pouted like a child. He opened the door and stepped into the shower where I was.

Behind multiple barriers designed against unauthorized access, records confirmed predetermined judgments against eastern nobles, manufactured evidence supporting heretical accusations, calculated implementation regarding property seizure beyond religious necessity. The Shadow Knight extended transformed awareness through these barriers without requiring physical destruction, midnight substance flowing through protective measures with cosmic purpose beyond institutional limitation.

But I stopped myself. Too soon. Too messy. She wasn’t ready to see that side of me. Not yet. Instead, I sat again, breathing through my nose until the haze of red lifted just slightly. Then an idea sparked. Simple. Subtle. Effective. I opened the drawer on the left side of my desk and pulled out a small, matte-black phone. Untraceable. Modded with voice alteration software. I thumbed it on and dialed the number I’d memorized. Layla’s.

“On your signal, Shadow Heir.” Eolan inhaled, the cold coiling in his chest. His shadow stretched unnaturally long across the snow, tendrils unfurling like smoke. “Now,” he whispered. The riders surged forward. Hooves thundered, steel flashed, and Eolan’s shadow stormed ahead—snaking around enemy legs, yanking men from their saddles, snuffing out torchlight in bursts of inky darkness.

My eyes locked on the needle as it slowed, slowed… and clicked to a stop on a simple, hooded cloak. S-Tier Artifact: Shroud of Unseeing Description: Renders the wearer completely undetectable by visual, auditory, and low-level psychic means for durations scaling with user stamina. A perfect infiltration tool. A predator’s tool. My smile turned sharp. “I can work with this.” The System’s voice, bland and final, echoed. “Rewards delivered.
