At the bottom, a single table sat beneath a flickering torch, covered in books that looked older than anything I had ever seen. One title stood out. The Fall of the Shadow Queens. My breath slowed as I opened it.The pages were fragile, the ink faded but still legible.Illustrations showed figures surrounded by living darkness, not casting shadows but commanding them as extensions of themselves.

The First Shadow Queen suddenly screamed from across the chamber. “He cannot return!” The ancient darkness formed a massive silhouette behind her. A crown appeared above its head. Then a voice filled the chamber. My heirs have finally awakened. Ian looked at me. His black eyes slowly returned. “What did we just unleash?” I didn't have an answer. Because the darkness had already begun crossing the threshold. And this time, it wasn't coming for Selena. It was coming for both of us.

Thousands of wolves moved like a river through the forest. At their head rode the Shadow King himself. His crimson eyes glowed beneath his hood. A scout galloped toward him. "My King." "What is it?" "The Queen has begun preparing for war." He laughed. "A queen?" He looked toward the distant mountains. "She still doesn't know the truth." The scout frowned. "What truth, my King?" The Shadow King smiled darkly. "The Moonfang throne..." He tightened his grip on the reins. "...was never meant for her." End of Chapter Twenty-One

Remembering, it was Tawny who first alerted us to the fairy tale about this shifter prophecy in the first place. It seemed such a long time ago, not quite three years, that we had all sat in the indoor gym and she had told us the story about the queen who hid her child, a child born of first blood, the story that had fast become Lamia’s own prophecy, the story Tawny’s mother would tell her when she was alive. “I want to know exactly what Rhett finds when he investigates the coordinates,” I told Lamia on the phone.

“He forgot to tell me she was a mutant-vampire who promised me in marriage to a sadistic vampire king for political purposes.” “Poor Casey,” Julia said sarcastically. “Married off to a king who conveniently dies and then bewitches two brothers; one who she marries and the other who is so obsessed with her, he protects her even when she jilts him.” “How are you the key to Sybil’s kingdom?” I asked with irritation. “Wouldn’t you like to know?” she teased. “I’m just trying to change the subject. You reek of jealousy,” I said. “Sybil entrusted me with the key to her private library,” she admitted. “It’s protected behind a magical shield and invisible to the average eye.

"If it weren't for me, Carlos would have died much earlier. Eleanor, I promised him I'd take care of you for life, but that promise only stands if you don't hurt Daisy." A bitter smile tugged at my lips. I shouldn't have had any expectations left. A sharp pain stabbed through my heart, like claws ripping into me. Suddenly, the world around me spun. The next moment, everything went black, and I lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, the smell of antiseptic flooded my senses. The cold white ceiling came into focus. I barely moved my fingers before realizing I was lying on a hospital bed in the infirmary. The werewolf doctor bent over to remove the needle from my arm. His expression w

Darren shoved me to the ground, his voice was like venom as he leaned on forward and softly whispered into my ears. “I, Darren Shadow-Moon, reject you as my mate.” The rejection tore through me like fire, sending unbearable pain coursing through my body.

Damon looked toward Mira. “The sleeping shadow?” Mira closed the book slowly. “It could refer to Seraphina.”

Damian’s eyes widened in horror. What the hell was happening? At the dungeon below Blood Moon territory… Lily froze mid-sentence, her eyes widening slowly. “No…” she whispered. Fred staggered backward in his own cell. The silver chains around them began vibrating violently. The air itself had changed and it only meant one thing. The Queen had awakened!!!! And they were too late. Back at ShadowCreek, the white light finally exploded outward completely.
