The twins beamed. Even Garrett's stoic expression had cracked into something approaching a smile. I took my place at the centre of the head table, Draven on my right, Astrid on my left. Elder Silas stood to speak. "Blood Moon pack. Today, we witnessed history. Five Shadowborn working in perfect harmony, healing damage thought permanent. Proving that the old magic is not lost—it was simply waiting for those brave enough to reclaim it." He raised his cup. "To Luna Kaia. To the Shadowborn sanctuary. To a future where power and pack stand together." "To the Luna!" the pack echoed. The feast began.

I state, taking a seat on the trunk behind me. “Fine, little witch… ” he mumbles, before leading into his story. “Many years ago when there were many gods and they roamed the earth there was one made completely of darkness and shadows. He chose to stay hidden in a small cave not far from where we are now, on the outskirts of a small town. From his hiding place he was able to control all the darkness in the world. He was the shadows of creatures and the night sky… He was beautiful… But where there is darkness comes evil… And with evil comes people who wish to destroy it. After a long time of searching for the thing bringing the darkness into the world an arch druid stumbled upon the god deep

The morning light filtered weakly through the curtains, casting fractured patterns on the floor — much like my thoughts, splintered and jagged. I sat at the small kitchen table, clutching my cup of cold coffee, staring at the leather-bound book *Reflections of the Forgotten* open before me. The stories inside weren’t just tales — they were warnings, lessons written in sorrow and hope. Women who had lived as shadows, trapped in lives borrowed from others, fighting to reclaim their own reflections.

She laughed, “well I know him, and I know you … and you are one in the same. You are both completely self destructive all while believing you are in complete control. You both want to live in the shadows, and help people on the down low. You’re not a monster, and neither is my husband even though that’s what he might believe. Scott is in the CIA and is so much like you it scares me. You guys could be twins, or you could be father and son. Give us a chance, I’m not saying we’re perfect but … I understand you because I understand Scott. He can help you, he can help you channel that rage. He can help you manage the monster because … he has one of his own. I see him in you, and it doesn’t scare

“When the Shadow wolf was created, she was born with a complete soul, only two arms and two legs, she yielded the power of an original werewolf as well as the ones you know of today, but she was never given a mate since she had a complete soul. With each generation that passed I noticed my dear Shadow grow lonelier and lonelier and so with the help of Goddess Aphrodite and Maa Kali Devi we created another being that is made for you, but in order to create the Shadow wolf with a mate, we had to share your soul with him and his with you for the bond to be created, that is how he is connected to me too. “The other Gods were rather unhappy with our creation, but were unable to stop us and instea

She takes my hand in hers and squeezes it gently. "We are werewolves, not monsters," she says softly. "Our pack is called the Shadows and is led by Gabriel Valley. He became our leader after his father's death some months ago." I sigh and turn to look at her. Her blue eyes look sad as she stares at me. "I promise you my child, you are not a monster. Being different is your greatest power," she whispers, grazing her fingers across my eyebrows. "You'll see," she adds with a faint smile. I stare at her drowning in my thoughts. I think about everything. Me. Them. The pack. I'd have sworn last night was just a dream but I know what I saw and felt. It was all too real. "Your father and I are going

The Blood Moon hadn’t just made it stronger; it had awakened something ancient inside it. The shadow passed over the watchmen. They didn’t scream, they froze and their eyes glazed with a green film. Their faces also went blank. They turned away from Liora and her friends and headed toward the village and they were no longer men, they were puppets. Gregor stared at his changed men, horror dawning on his face, he tried to control a power that only knows to consume. The shadow wave hit Liora’s small circle of cleansed land and hissed like hot water on a stove. The poultice held strong, but it was only a small island in a vast sea of darkness.

If anything, the werewolves who were super devout should have been doing everything they could to defend Moon Shadow for the sake of all werewolves. It was possible that the attacker hadn’t been alone, but my instincts were telling me I wasn’t wrong. Then, I read a passage that stopped me cold. Before the Goddess made a pact with the night, she was the sun. Then, the night was filled with darkness, home to the creatures of the night.

She looked at me in shock and fury. I inhale, I meditate and will the powers of heaven to hear my prayer. She should have gone to heaven with her family. I see in mind a man that is glowing with the sun. he asks what a creature of the shadwos wants with heaven. I tell him in my heart what is my prayer and desire for Gabrielle to go home with her family. “I will never leave you!” she glares at me. “Yes, you will” I tell her with finality. I see the beaming light in front of her.

At 5'10", her presence commanded attention, but she preferred to stay unnoticed. Her dark skin glowed under the morning sun, and her eyes, a striking shade of amber, held secrets untold. She pulled her hood tighter, hoping to shield herself from the prying eyes she could already feel on her. She sighed, remembering the last town, the last school, the last narrow escape. The coven was always a step behind her, their sinister intentions cloaked in shadow but ever-present. She couldn’t afford to grow attached, couldn’t afford to make friends or enemies. But she knew this routine all too well. Blend in, keep your head down, and move on before anyone gets too close.
