The shadow doesn’t even notice. I slam a palm against the shadow over her head, snatching it away before it can hurt her. It’s like putty against my fingers—solid but fluid, colder than a piece of ice. My own shadows flare wildly at their brethren’s proximity, but I grit my teeth and ignore the sudden roiling movement of my marks. Squeezing tightly, I jerk the shadow away from the wall and slam it onto the stove, while I use my other hand to turn on the burner. There’s a soft click, and then a small ring of flame flares up, making the shadow screech. I don’t release it until it catches fire. I leave the shadow smoldering on the burner and leap away, searching for the next threat. A black sha

It wailed as it shattered upon hitting the marble. “Val!” Vivian cried from across the room. She had six Shadows circling clicking menacingly. While she flashed her dagger at them in hopes of warding them off with little result. ‘Use your magic the blades won’t do anything.’ I mindlinked racing over. A second later the flames engulfed four of the Shadows. Vivian rolled away grinning as the flames danced in her eyes, she was in her element. The four ‘henchman’ as I have now decided to call them went for their swords looking frustrated. Only to be paused as the leader lifted his hand.

Watching this pair of shameless lovers put on such a melodramatic show in front of me almost made me gag. With a mocking sneer, I said, "You should feel guilty. My dear husband chose to save his old flame while leaving his actual wife to fend for herself. If I were to spread the word, do you think the two of you would be drowned in public outrage?" Celestine stiffened for a moment at my words, but she quickly recovered and suddenly lunged toward the wall as if to bash her head against it. "Let me die! Let me die! It's my fault Ophelia got burned. I'll compensate her with my life!"

My flames stuttered. “Get back!” I shouted. But it was too late. The figure moved. And from its chest poured **shadows**. They formed into wolves—not solid, not spirit, something between. And they came at us. The fight was chaos. Kael shifted mid-lunge, claws tearing into the shadow beasts. They didn’t bleed. Didn’t howl. They just absorbed each strike, then reformed. Lira hurled runes into the air, creating shields of light. One broke against a beast’s teeth. Another split one in half—but even then, it started to grow again.

He hated me deeply… Before I could snap out of those painfully deep memories, Serena had already ignored the flames and ran toward me. "Hang in there, Winifred!" The thick smoke left me coughing nonstop. My vision had also blurred, and I could only see Serena's small frame. "Have you freaking lost your mind? Get out of here!" Serena ignored my curses. She gritted her teeth, exerted tremendous force to lift the upper half of my body, and dragged me out of the laboratory step by step.

I asked while glaring at George. "Dirty secrets!" George said and winked at me, making me want to puke. "Huh! Stop pulling her legs George! Now let's start our game!" Hailey exclaimed. Tom started spinning the bottle which stopped pointing at Hailey. "Truth or dare?" Tom asked Hailey. I took a bottle of water and struggled to open its cap with a single hand. Sensing my struggle, Hailey loosened her grip on my other hand, still not releasing it. I sighed and opened the cap while hearing her say "Truth."

**Celeste's POV** The dagger felt alive in my hands. I sat on the edge of my bed in the shadow palace, turning the weapon over and over, watching the black flames dance along its blade. They didn't burn me.... my skin had grown cold enough to match their temperature, but I could feel their hunger. Their eagerness to taste blood. "It's beautiful," I whispered. Silas stood by the window, his silver eyes reflecting the strange light of the three moons. "Shadow flame never dies," he said. "One cut, and the poison spreads through the victim's body like liquid night. Death comes slowly. Painfully."

“Bold, Moonborn. I like that. Very well… let us see if fire can truly dance with shadow without being consumed.” He moved again, this time faster, the shadows moving with him, circling her like predators. Elara countered, twisting her fire into blades, whips, and shields, each one interacting with the shadows in unpredictable ways. Sparks flew, illuminating the courtyard in flashes of gold and black, the torches flickering as though afraid of the power being unleashed. ---

Golden light burst through the burning entrance, forming a protective barrier around Liam. Inside, shelves collapsed one after another. Ancient books turned to ash. Then... A loud explosion echoed from the forbidden archives. The fire was not ordinary. It burned blue. "Shadow Fire," Orion whispered. "It can’t be extinguished with water." The flames climbed higher. Then... A hooded figure emerged through the smoke. Only for a second. I caught a glimpse of silver eyes. The stranger noticed me watching. Without hesitation, they fled deeper into the academy. "There!" I shouted.
