Shadow King Book Novels & Stories

A sharp agonizing pain pierce my skull and I grip my head with both hands, my body shaking violently. I force my eyes open and all I can see is pitch darkness — and a blinding golden glow, the same light that erupts from necklace that night in the pack. My legs give out instantly. My body slump and hit the ground hard as Darkness took over.

"I can't be this person. I am unable to inherit darkness. Still holding the book tightly, I collapsed to my knees. I felt as though I was being choked by the weight of the truth. I had trouble breathing, and my heart was beating. How is this possible? How could such evil power be linked to my lineage? In my head, the words on the pages danced, echoing and repeating. I was the Shadow Heir. I was more than just a First Kingdom descendant. I was the heir to the exiled one, the one doomed to conceal themselves in the shadows. According to the book, the kingdom would rise again when the powers of the shadow returned, but this time, the person who had fallen into darkness would rule it.

The dagger clattered to the floor. Cassian swung his blade. The king did not even flinch. The steel stopped inches from his chest, frozen in the air, held by nothing I could see. You cannot hurt me, the king said. I am not flesh. I am not blood. I am the shadow you carry. I am the crown you refuse to wear. I am your destiny. He looked at me. And you are mine. The gold exploded. The shadow surged. And the bond went dark. I woke in darkness.

But he knew he caught his interest all right. "Prince Ryder, meet Alpha Ethan, Lycan King and alpha to the night shade howlers". And that was when it downed on the young prince. He was a Lycan King, the Lycan King. "It is an honour to finally meet you Alpha Ethan, I've heard so much about you". Came the prince's voice as he bowed deeply. His heart was skipping multiple beats. What does the Lycan King want. He was known to cause chaios in any pack he visits. Rumour has it that he was going feral. But that was that, rumours.

One of the head guards answered with uncertainty evident in his quivering voice, clearly not knowing how else to handle their present predicament. "Kim! What the hell happened there?" Corentin asked, turning to face the girl who had been tight-lipped this entire time. “I…I…don't know boss, when I got in Dion Genovese was unconscious and his sister told me that he had tripped and hit his head while entering the room. She had her brother's gun and turned it on me, demanding that I release her" she made clear and the next thing she knew, she was struggling to breathe as Corentin wrapped his hands around her neck in an attempt to snuff the living daylight out of her.

She said as she gasped for breath “I have done to you what you did onto me with extra bonuses slut” Chaos replied flatly “Who do you even think you are?” “You should have asked that before you started to mess with my mate when I got here. But I will tell you anyway… I am Khione Dava Chaos, 3rd child to King Chaos and heir to his throne.My father is the King of Kings of the underworld and the lord of Lords of all darkness that exists in this realm and the other.

“Just reviewing tomorrow’s agenda.” Bridget’s legs felt like water. She smiled at her father and pretended the aftershocks weren’t still rippling through her. Later, alone in her room, she lay on the bed in the dark and opened the podcast app. *Shadow Marketing* Episode 1 had exploded. 1,200 downloads in a single evening. Comments scrolled: *This is the rawest take on corporate power I’ve ever heard.* *Whoever you are, you get it.* *The shadow claims you… damn.*

No wonder he is a king. "You can turn their own shadow against them" "I can do pretty much anything I want" "And no one knows it?" "I keep it close to the heart but my council senses some of my power. They have to if I need to be a king. Everyone only knows that I kill people with a blink. They don't know how" "And only I know how it is done?" "Yes" "That's heavy Bones. Then how come you got captured in the first place? Wait, your memories!!!! Do you remember everything now?"

Because she understood. Perfectly. ⸻ The Secret Chamber Far beneath the forgotten temple… The Shadow King sat upon a throne carved entirely from black obsidian. Unlike the ancient throne Alessio had discovered… This one pulsed like a living heart. Dark energy flowed across its surface. Hundreds of masked followers knelt before him. Absolute silence filled the enormous hall. ⸻ One woman stepped forward. She wore a silver mask. Long black robes. Her voice remained respectful. “My King…” ⸻ “The prophecy has changed.”

I love that he loves to cook. He carried me to the bed, propping me up with some pillows, handing me a book to read. It was one I had gotten out of the library we found yesterday. It was about the different kinds of shadows in the shadow realm. Shade is an official, apparently. Extremely strong, intelligent, and a direct descendent of the original shadow.
