Shadow Mate Novels & Stories

Sebastian Lykos has the authority to make sure that their mating bond was in place and considering that he was one of the officiates that can make a marriage legal in Paphos, Damien knew that it was his luck to have him here tonight. “Sebastian, it’s nice to see that you are out in the open. What brings you to the festival?” Damien greeted him as Sebastian turned to look at him. His red eyes were eerie but his friend smiled before he concealed the real color of his eyes. As an Ultima, he has the power to do it so that they look like they’re brown to the normal naked, human eyes. “Damien. I’m surprised that you are here when you usually did not come here.” He said before he noticed that Anika

Liam is quick to pull me flush against the wall of the cinema building, shielding me from the hysteria with his body. “It’s a Shadow attack!” Someone shouts, their words causing my body to freeze and blood to run cold. Peering over Liam’s shoulder, I spot two shadows, their tall frames standing at nearly seven feet towering over a she-wolf whose body sported deep, bleeding gashes. The Shadow with long flowing black hair and crimson eyes sneers, licking the blood of the she-wolf from his claws with a forked tongue. “Who would have thought Ottawa would be easy to enter once all the snow began to melt?” His companion chuckles out, his voice distorted with a gurgling.

A shield of silver energy, the same light as the symbol on Siron's wrist, shot forth from his palms. Thud! The shadow struck the shield with a sound like grinding metal. The room shook harder. The lights went out completely, with only the moonlight and the silvery light from Morat's shield illuminating the scene. "You will not touch them!" Morat roared, his voice booming with an authority Siron had never heard before. The shadow snarled, retreating slightly. Its form was unstable, fluctuating. "They... are mine... to destroy..." its voice was hoarse, made up of many merging groans.

Layna shifted uncomfortably, her unease palpable, as The Shadows closed in, their icy, unforgiving energy enveloping us like a shroud. The Shadows' presence was a balm to my fractured soul, a beacon of hope in the darkness. I knew they possessed the power to revive Roxy, to defy even death itself. The only unknown was the terrible price they would exact in return. I held out my sliced palm, offering them the payment they demanded.

From one of them emerged a shadowy figure with glowing eyes, its presence sending a chill through the room. “This is a Shade,” Master Varyn explained. “It is a manifestation of collective fears. To defeat it, you must work together to exploit its weaknesses. You will have 30 minutes to figure it out. Fail, and the Shade will dissipate—but so will your chance to advance in this school.” As the Shade prowled the chamber, Anna felt a knot of anxiety tighten in her stomach. She glanced at her friends, their faces mirroring her own apprehension. --- The First Encounter

The shades let out a collective, unearthly wail, the sound shaking the plateau, the ice shards trembling, the wind carrying their whispers, the blue glow casting an eerie light over the scene, the plateau a battlefield, the chill a test of the pack’s strength. Samantha reacted instantly, her staff flaring with silver light, the runes glowing brightly, her voice sharp, the blue glow illuminating her face, the wind howling across the plateau, the marrow shades closing in, the plateau a battlefield, the chill a constant threat. “Shades! Formation, now!” she shouted, her green eyes blazing with focus, her auburn braid swinging as she moved, the crescent moon tattoo on her collarbone pulsing silv

Shadow laughed. Damien hugged his friend and Shadow took his newborns back to his mate, their mom, my best friend.

"Again. Every time you step onto the field of battle, you impress us." Shamira shrugged. "Master, you said --" "No 'Masters' for a few minutes, okay?" "Okay. You said Shadow Sight was the third Shadow Aspect. What is Shadow Sight exactly, and how many Shadow Aspects are there?" "There are five.
