Theodore said, batting his eyelashes at me, hope written all over his face. I was just about to respond when a guard burst in with urgent news. "Miss, there's a Mr. Lloyd at the door demanding to see you. He's incredibly strong, and we may not be able to hold him off much longer."

It’s recognition. I feel it again. That presence. Watching me from the corner that shouldn’t be there. From the shadow that crawls just outside the edge of sense. You’re a return. Those words weren’t in my ears. They were in my bones. “Who are you?” I whisper. The shadows shift, and in the hush that follows, I don’t hear a voice—but I see something. A flicker of a memory. Not mine.

What you do will determine the outcome. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Lyria took a step forward and spoke steadily. "The Shadow must be destroyed. Tell us what needs to be done. Elarion reached out and touched the crystal, and a picture appeared in its depths. It showed a barren countryside, engulfed in shadows, with people writhing in pain. "The Shadow feeds on fear, despair, and loss," Elarion stated the statement. "To sever its lifeline, you must willingly relinquish that which you hold most dear."

“Good morning Andre, it seems we have a problem.” “Good morning Sir, I would be a fool to disagree. So! Max, Fred, Jeff, explain to me why you are here before I have to kill all of you.” Jeff chuckled, this woman, she had more balls than most men. He always admired her, maybe even loved her but she never paid any attention, and he didn’t hold it against her simply because she never led him on. “We had a security breach on the compound and all arrows pointed to Dalton Corp.”

Arthur sighed for he was wondering himself of this question. Why he, Arthur Adamos, was waiting for the right time to claim his mate, Diana Marchand as if there will be something coming their way to separate them? Perhaps there was an obstacle. Her brother, Xavier, was the Beta of the Shadow Pack and Arthur doesn't want any trouble with him. Xavier can be scary if his sister was in threat. Arthur shook that question away before there was a commotion and a crowd was drawing up as he was approaching the incident. He saw the warriors that were on duty that night before he shifted to his human form before walking into the crime scene.

While we're walking inside, I told Daniel, "Shadow is one of the scariest loan sharks of Colorado so don't get into trouble with him. For him, everyone's the same." "Is this a warning?" "Definitely." Shadow walked to me and greeted me saying, "Lucy! I didn't think you'd be coming for real. What's the problem?" Since he was surrounded by his guys I asked him, "Can we talk somewhere private?" He nodded and took us to a room where he held some guys in chains. I pointed at them and asked, "What about them?" Shadow ordered his guys to get rid of them. Once we're alone, I pointed at Daniel and said to Shadow, "He's one of the grandsons of Mr Anderson."

“You think you’re the only one?” “You wound me, Delia,” Gray chuckles. She slaps his arm playfully, letting him know it's time to get serious. He straightens up, as all signs of amusement snap from his face in a split second and holds still while she goes to work on the chain in his hands. She places both of her hands a few inches above the metal and whispers some incantation until a low blue glow can be seen from underneath her palms. When the glow fades she moves her warm copper brown hands and sighs.

“If we’re using your logic Ashton, how would the killer have stayed out of sight then? People were already in the café. It would have been impossible to stay hidden” A sharp exhale suddenly left Ashton as his hand shot out to pause the footage. “Maybe they didn’t need to stay hidden.” He swore. “Fuck, why hadn’t I realized this?” Maya came closer to study the screen. “There.” Ashton pointed to a spot on the tiled floor of the café that was darker than the rest. “A shadow.” Maya breathed. “Fucking hell. The killer is a Shadow.” I stated with unequalled shock. Shadows had no shadows in their human form but when they wanted to stay hidden, it was all they were– Shadows.

Every step was fraught with danger, and the air crackled with tension. As we neared our destination, a sudden realization struck me. The Shadows were not just an external threat. They had infiltrated our lives, entangling themselves in our past and present. We had unwittingly played into their hands, dancing to their tune without knowing the full extent of their control. The final confrontation loomed before us as we entered a vast chamber bathed in eerie blue light. The enigmatic leader of The Shadows stood before us, a figure shrouded in darkness, his identity concealed. His voice reverberated through the chamber, chilling our bones.

he stated, taking them to a hidden tent with a spread-out map of the area. Eva and Xander joined the group, intrigued by what was happening. "What did you discover?" Kyra inquired while bending over the map. General Thorne indicated multiple designated spots. "Our scouts have observed higher levels of movement in these regions. It appears that the remains of the shadow cult are coming together again, and there are signs indicating they are being led by a strong leader—a person we have not come across previously. Damon clenched his jaw. "Who is this person?"
