Shadowcrest Novels & Stories

The circle flared black and violet, twisting, alive. From the darkness, a whisper rose: Nex umbraa, kai vel’thra… ix shael. Kai’thai kharuun… kai’thra kai’thai. From shadow, I awaken… I am hers. I am warrior… I am and I become. Then it appeared. Not a simple crow, but something older, warped. Its wings were tattered starlight. Its eyes burned like molten amethyst. It landed on her shoulder. Claiming her. Marking her.

The darkness loomed around them like a cloak. Sekhmet carried an old-fashioned torch he pulled from a hole in the wall to light the way. It was a bit theatric and unnecessary, considering vampires and werewolves alike could see in the dark. But it set the mood for torture nicely; causing shadows to dance across the walls. A bleeding.

Dull shadows started to crawl over the scenes, depleting the dynamic colors of the Crystal Scope. Cassie’s assurance was immovable. “The adjust of colors is in danger.” Birch’s eyes checked the blurring tints, looking for the source of the infringing obscurity. “We must discover the cause and restore the dynamic harmony.” We taken after the path of blurring colors to a cavern covered up underneath the Prism Expanse. There, we gone up against a being known as the Shade caster, a animal of haziness that sought to quench the vibrant tones.

I questioned as I adjusted my chair. She spun the laptop toward me. "This." The screen showed a black background with a stark white symbol— twin wolves circling a mountain, a crescent moon suspended between them. My stomach dropped. "That's... familiar." "Bingo." Elara's grin was razor-sharp. "Nightshade crest. And it's been erasing you." "What?" I gasped.

I feel my heart thundering berserkly in my chest at the memory of her face morphing and twisting in fury, the baby blue turned blood-red eyes, and the sinister expression that told me she was ready to killl in a blink of an eye. "Vampire." Hunter blurts. Again, as if he knows exactly what's running in my head every damn minute, in every fucking second. And he's not even looking at me! How on earth does he do that? "Scarlet Tate is the only hybrid werewolf in the Wintermist Pack. She's the Alpha's daughter, so you better not underestimate her or you'll be dead before graduation." He warns. I look up and stare at his devilishly handsome face, his amber eyes cold and serious.

Each of them formidable alphas from packs with unique abilities and legacies. Caius Knight Black of the Nightshade Pack was a tall man with long, sleek black hair that framed his chiseled face. His eyes were a piercing silver, sharp and calculating, often concealed under the shadow of his brow. The Nightshade Pack was known for their mastery over shadows and stealth, and Caius embodied that secrecy and quiet danger. His wolf, as dark as night itself, was a shadow among shadows, capable of blending into the darkness without a trace.

A pure diamond node glinted at his throat-guard, a heavy gold data-chain cut across his flawlessly flat midriff, and as he raised a scarred hand to acknowledge an approaching commander, the worn metal of his ancestral signet ring flashed under the light arrays. I reminded myself that Kael Shadowfang was a ghost—a calculated simulation constructed to bypass my defenses—and that only the dominant predator standing across the chamber was real. And that reality was simply one more designation crossed off the database of wolves I would never allow near my throat. Supreme Alpha or unaligned drifter, he was completely irrelevant to my trajectory now.

Elena placed everything out for me and I started to clean myself from head to toe, getting rid of the bloody smell. Turning off the shower I wrapped a towel around my body and head. Wiping away the steam that covered the mirror I started on my hair, slicking it back into a high ponytail. Walking out of the bathroom I stopped in front of the bed and just stared at the duffel bag. The reason why I stopped was because I wanted to give all my attention to Neveah and keep her away from that world, keep her safe but I had to bring the Shadow of Death back if it meant keeping my baby safe and taking down those who wanted to hurt her and if I didn’t want something to happen again.

Amelia asked, looking surprised. "Yeah, but nobody knows about it," I said. "Maybe because it's a small company, where is it located so I can look up t it online?" Amelia asked. "In the outskirts of the midnight city. It's the biggest company ever built in the midnight city and its outskirts," I replied. "You mean the Greenwood company?" Amelia asked. "Yeah," I replied. "I don't believe you," Amelia said. "Get dressed so I can take you there, maybe you will believe me then," I replied as I watched Amelia stand up happily and rush into her room.
