—Og Mandino Kiss in the Shadow is written & translated by Mar Mojica The End

The scent of the perfume he used caressed my olfactory senses, which together with the electric shocks I felt, turned into hot shivers of pleasure. He leaned over and kissed me. Though I wanted to shy away, my body had another plan. I remained steadfast. His sweet lips gently touched mine. Their touch was enough for me to permanently lose control of my body that was bathed in the quiver of passion. This man had an insane power over me. It was as if he was using a spell with which he could always draw me to him. With a slow movement, he opened my lips and his tongue gently penetrated in search of a fiery passion. A wild play between our tongues began.

Then they tore the robes from his body. It happened in a blink. The soft white fabric shredded like paper, baring Kael to the altar’s glow. His flushed skin, his trembling cock, his shivering thighs, every inch exposed. His gasp turned to a cry as the god of shadows dropped to his knees behind him, spreading his ass with greedy hands, licking a slow, wet stripe over the tight, untouched hole. Kael arched, shaking. “Wait—! Oh gods—” “You belong to us now,” the shadow said, voice muffled as he pressed his tongue deeper, tasting Kael’s heat, slicking him with spit and sin.

The moment my hands touched it, warmth spread through me, strange and electric. The shadows recoiled, as if my touch burned them. The figure hissed, stepping back, claws forming out of the darkness. I didn’t understand what was happening, but I felt power surge from the book into me. The words on the cover shimmered faintly, glowing like they recognized me. Fenrir moved closer. “Whatever you’re going to do—now is the time.” I took a deep breath. The shadows lunged again. This time, I didn’t flinch.

They only wrapped my foot up in some old rags and called it a day. That kind of pain had stuck with me, but they seemed to have forgotten all about it. I looked up, meeting the eyes of the crowd. "The person in those photos had all ten toes. It was clearly not me." Nelson backed me up, saying, "Jennifer had a tattoo with my name on her lower back when we were together. She was scared it'd give her away, and told me to keep those photos hidden. "I still have some shots of that tattoo, and it's proof that it's Jennifer in those pictures.

Her grief gave birth to the wrath that tainted her as the change took hold. It wasn’t long before she caught up with Daniel and the others. Her mind went to Ava. The woman told her of a plan. One that would see Penny being whole again. Ava needed to live. She needed to retrieve the Book of Shadows. Everything rested on her and the book. What the rest of them had to do was stay alive and keep each other safe. The shadows used themselves as projectiles, rocketing towards Penny. Since they could not render her soulless, they came at her to cause physical injury. Penny allowed her anger to feed her strength.

He whispered against my ear. A shiver of excitement ran through me which immediately released my hold on him. “Good girl.” He whispered before kissing my neck. I drifted off to sleep before Damian returned. Small waves lapped against the sand as I stood watching them. The sound of wildlife around me filled my ears.
