"The shadows are not enemies to be conquered, but wounds to be healed."

“I will extract every last scrap of humanity within you and once you have been taken by the darkness I will end you.” Yet her promises sounded hollow, her threats weak even to her own ears, Vanadine thought and he disregarded them with disdain. He leaned in close, smelling the mixture of rot, mushrooms and diseased flesh that made her natural perfume, with disgust. “You know why I still come here?” He asked, whispering in her pointed ear. “To remind myself of what I must never become.

I knew that Shadow's pain was deep and real, and that it would take time to heal. I knew that he felt lost and alone, and that he was struggling to come to terms with the betrayal of his mate. "I'm so sorry, Shadow," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I wish I could take away your pain, but I can't. All I can do is stand here with you, and offer you my support and friendship."

” Shadow said, as he laid back allowing Shaid to continue to claw at his chest as she screamed. Shadow, knew he was about to die as soon as Shawna's heart completely stopped. Before Shaid ripped them apart her heart was beating so slow he knew it was going to stop soon. So why fight Shaid any longer, death was inevitable. He welcomed the pain, it didn't hurt as much as the pain he and Rane felt from losing Shawna before he told her he loved her. The pain of not being able to tell her how sorry he was for wasting so much time.

“You should use it to your heart, witch. Your heart seems locked up and frozen somewhere in the Arctic.” Zack cracked up. “If you want your voice, Zack, you better shut up,” Shadow told him. “Wait. She can do that?” His eyes widened in amazement. “I can do better. I can give you life-long erectile dysfunction.” “What the hell?” It was comical how Zack quickly cupped his groin before us. “Hey, big guy.” I felt Shadow’s hand on mine. “You should go change.” “Right.” I left them, and I still caught Shadow talking to Zarah.

“I know the way you flinch when people say your name like it’s a curse. I know your shadows try to protect you even when you pretend you don’t need them.” Her stomach twisted in a way that made her breath hitch.

I found myself isolated, engulfed by an infinite emptiness. The Shadows glided like mist, winding and coiling around me. They spoke in tones that didn’t belong to me, their remarks filled with malice. "You are feeble," they spat. “Consistently in her shade.” "Consistently in second place."
