Novel & Cerita Shadowheart Choice Parents

Shadow questioned Phantom and pointedly ignored the trio. [According to data, she is from the snake clan as well.] “She is mixed.” Shadow revealed the secret information that she was holding this entire time. No one knew about this except Midas, Priscilla, and, of course, Malikul. [Half-blood? Who is her other parent?] Phantom crossed-examined Rozita’s file and all the interaction that was recorded in the system that Shadow forced everyone to put. Also, Phantom could easily spy on them on a daily basis.

I replied. While working as a maid for Adrian Blackwood, the uncle you know, I had a one-night stand with him. That night, I uncovered a shocking secret about his family and their connection to my late parents. My father was a knight, part of a group they called the Shepherds, who were sworn to protect one another. My father was best friends with Adrian Blackwood's grandfather. To solidify their friendship, they arranged for me to marry the Blackwood grandson. After a tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of the entire Blackwood family, only the grandfather and Adrian remained.

Upon reaching home and Olivia wasn't there either, I Knew that she had figured it out. If she harbored any doubts before now, my private encounter with Monica would have confirmed her doubts. I wasn't happy with myself. I blamed destiny for the way it manipulated my life. I was not sure of whom I could confide in. If I confided in my father, he would likely advise me to choose Monica as my Luna to Increase my strength and produce robust offspring with her alpha genes. Yet, if I reject her, I would forfeit some of my authority, making me unsuitable for leadership.

“Yes.” “You took my brother.” “I gave you your brother.” “You took Amara.” “I gave you Amara.” “You took my memories.” “I gave you truth.” Lucian’s eyes narrowed. “What do you want?” The Shadow answered: “I want my children.” ⸻ Amara stood before the same darkness. The little girl beside her disappeared. The First Shadow appeared. It towered over her. “You came back.” Amara raised her chin. “I came to destroy you.” “You came because you love him.”

I held her hand. Remember what you told me. I can choose. Exactly. She looked at the shadow. The shadow smiled. Come with me. My daughter shook her head. No. The shadow frowned. Why? Because you are me. The shadow went still. My daughter continued. But I'm not you. The First King screamed through the shadow. You are mine! My daughter raised her hand. I choose who I become. The shadow began shrinking. The First King appeared inside it. No! He tried to escape.

Hope’s eyes widened. “No.” “Yes.” “But I carry Choice.” “You carry the power.” She looked at Elias. “He carries its original consciousness.” Hope stared at her son. Then she understood why the Shadow wanted him. “It wants the First Choice.” Her daughter nodded. “If it takes him, it can rewrite every universe.” Adrian stepped forward. “Then it won’t get him.” His daughter looked at him. “You said that in my time too.” Adrian’s expression hardened. “And did I fail?” She hesitated.

My dad only loved her and did not want to be with anyone else, so I was his only kid. To keep his power and to keep the four big werewolf packs in check, he made a plan to choose my future mate. I did not have a say in it. My mate had to be one of those four guys. Lost in my thoughts, someone suddenly called out to me, "Elara, please wait!" I looked back, and there was Thorne. His hands were balled into fists, and he was staring at me, as if a storm were brewing within him. "I'm not ready to form a mate bond with anyone, and I definitely can't be a prince. I just hope you won't force me to claim you."

I must keep going, even though I am exhausted and sweating, because this is the only way I can win. Then I hear it—a noise behind me, a rustle. I tighten my grip on the hilt. “Who’s there?” I whisper, turning slowly. The forest answers with silence. But then—I saw a shadow between the trees. Someone is watching me. For the first time since my seventh rebirth, I realize I may not be the only one with memories.

Directly ahead of us, towards the back of the clearing, Gray, Bo and Cordelia are standing just outside of Gray's tent, respectfully the biggest in the camp. Grayson and Bo are Iselyn and my fathers younger brothers. And even though Grayson is the youngest of the three, it was he who took over as Alpha when my father died. Usually it doesn't work that way. Usually that title and responsibility would go to the eldest. But the situation in this case was… complicated. Because it was Grayson who killed him.

My eyes welled up with tears, "I know, Dad, but it's just so hard. I don't want to start over again." My mom's voice softened, "Sweetheart, change can be scary, but sometimes it's necessary for growth. We're here to support you every step of the way." A heated exchange ensued, with Tanya expressing her sadness and frustration, and her parents trying to convince her of the opportunities that awaited them in Shadowclaw. It was a clash of desires and expectations, leaving Tanya feeling unheard and trapped.
