The sun hung high in the sky, casting a soft, golden hue over the sprawling grounds of New Moon Academy. The castle-like estate loomed majestically, its turrets piercing the clouds, while ivy clung to the stone walls like a protective embrace. Charlie Hale stood at the entrance, her heart racing with a mix of excitement and trepidation. Today marked a new beginning, a chance to leave behind the shadows of her past.

Chase in the Dark The Shadowwood pressed in, all gnarly and alive, branches twisting overhead till the moon barely got a shot at the ground. Lyra moved through all that gloom like she’d grown up in the dark, senses tuned up to eleven, chasing after that weird trail of corruption winding deeper into the trees. Something old, like, way older than Kael’s whole rebellion, was out there, lying in wait.

Yellow tapes surrounding the area and flashing lights. I saw Alejandro standing just beyond the threshold in a black robe, face carved from stone, clearly trying to suppress the rage bubbling beneath his flawless exterior. I couldn’t look away. I wanted to see every twitch, every tightened jaw muscle, every ounce of disbelief when he realized the girl he thought he’d burned alive was the ghost now haunting his empire. “That’s right,” I whispered under my breath. “This is just the beginning.” Shane slid behind me on the bed, wrapping an arm around my waist, his lips ghosting over the shell of my ear.

This was the first time Hal and Chase had come to this backyard. At first glance, the place felt eerie, with a damp, chilly atmosphere. Shadeless stood by a rare large tree in Eagle City, living up to his name. It seemed he could vanish without a trace. "Greetings, Master Shadeless. I've brought Chase and Hal," Toledo said respectfully upon seeing Shadeless. "Greetings, Master Shadeless," Hal and Chase also greeted him. "Go about your business." Shadeless dismissed Toledo. Once Toledo left, Shadeless continued, "Shadow Pavilion has passed the information review of you two. From today, you can be considered members of Shadow Pavilion.

Kaelen’s voice boomed from the doorway, his presence filling the room with a wave of raw power. He strode into the chamber, his eyes blazing with anger. His muscles tensed, his fangs glinting in the candlelight, and his wolfish aura radiated a palpable threat. "Shadow,” Kaelen growled, his voice a low rumble, “you dare trespass in my home? You dare threaten my mate and my child?" Shadow laughed, a chilling sound that echoed through the chamber. "Your mate?" he scoffed. "She is the Oracle, destined to be mine. And your child… well, it will be a powerful tool in my hands."

Heart racing, Vanadine sought the source of the growl, eventually picking out a shape in the gloom. The shadow of the citadel hid a great deal but enough light penetrated to allow him to see the creature that was stalking him. The syphia was one of the largest Vanadine had ever seen, roughly equivalent in height to a pony on Earth. Muscles rippled beneath its sleek, black and white fur and teeth peeled back from inch long fangs that would meet and cross in a scissoring action, rending flesh with ease. Eyes the colour of midnight skies regarded him with dispassionate hatred.

Miley was a selfish bastard that cared not carelessly about everything around her as long as they were not from Miley’s kingdom. Even if it means abandoning her best friend. She would do it. “Please don’t tell her. I can do better.” She raised her head and begged earnestly. “I’ll help. I’ll help her, so please.” Shadow looked down at her. Her red pupils sparkled under the sunlight. Red. Shadow’s pupils were the color of blood. It was so beautiful, so dangerous, so… vibrant with mischief. Slowly, her eyes created a crescent moon, meaning that she was smiling big.

Ava's words stayed on my mind, and I knew my bed would soon be empty. "Olivja, please," Jack said as he followed me into the bedroom. "What do you want, Jack?" I asked him, and he looked down with no response. "The feeling was overwhelming," he said, and I laughed. "You'd better head to Shadow and complete what you began, Jack. Don't expect my consent, as it will never come. I'll never say it's alright just to ease your conscience. The truth is, it's not alright! It's painful! It feels like a betrayal, and I can't recover from it. So, don't waste time hoping I'll have a change of heart because I won't. I'm the one who loses in this.
