Shadows Of Orange Novels & Stories

Shadows began appearing along the horizon, and the whispers increased. The smell of fresh flowers but none within sight, only grass. I followed the smell to an old oak tree. The bark was tough and rough as I held my hand against the trunk. It creaked and groaned as a door appeared in front of me in the trunk. Stepping through brought me home. But it didn't feel like home. It was cold, empty, with grayness overcast through it. Breath was visible in front of me as I took deep breaths. All light and love had sucked out of it. This time I heard his voice. Damian!

she asked, and Alex gave a soft laugh. She sensed humour from him, and annoyance from Lukas, but both were almost drowned out by their wariness, and no small amount of fear. Lukas sighed softly, "Shadows can merge with other shadows, becoming part of them," he said, his voice still near a whisper, "And can move through them, from one to another, with little resistance."

"Thank you, Edward. For guiding me through this." I nodded, feeling a surge of pride swell within me. "We are far from finished. Now, let us put you to the test against the shade." The training ground took on a more ominous aura, the air crackling with an eerie energy. Bella stood at the center, gripping a practice sword with white-knuckled intensity. Her eyes were fixed on the shadowy figure before her, its form shifting like smoke in the wind. Though silent, the shade exuded a menacing presence, its faintly glowing eyes piercing the darkness.

"Not interested in being taller than your husband, Rita? I ignored their words, grateful that they had flashed me a glimpse of their heels. As we had gotten ready, my fireplace has slowly disappeared, turning into a staircase. I looked over the girls in my room, the rest of our sisters filing in. Silver, blue, brown, green, pink purple, maroon, and ice added to the ruby, gold, yellow and white. If only Klover were allowed to join us, then we would be balanced out with the black of her wardrobe. I started down the stairs, listening for the tap of eleven other sets of footsteps as we journeyed into the dark of our Uncle's Underground kingdom.

Casting their flashlights until they found them, huddled in a corner, all four of them were shocked at the sight which greeted them. No longer did they resemble Nolan and Anna. Their true faces grotesquely amalgamated with Nolan and Anna’s, as if they were stuck while trying to escape the hijacked bodies. ‘The dagger works,’ Faye whispered to the others. ‘They’re trapped, with no way of escaping.’

I couldn't even smell her scent so I couldn't follow her. That night I couldn't get her off my mind, sleep was not an option. I need to find out who she is and why I am having a hard time detecting what she is. My wolf said she is a werewolf but I can't smell her wolf on her at all. Shadow thinks that she has no clue what she is. He also thinks that she was never part of a pack as we can't detect any pack scent on her either. Witch I guess would have made scents on why she has no wolf yet if she has never been around our kind she would develop at a much slower pace than the rest of us.

“Mummy, look!” Her words pierced through my haze, and I spun around sharply, my heart leaping. The sight that greeted me sent a chill down my spine. Two black cars with their headlights glaring like eyes raced down the street toward us. The people inside, were like dark silhouettes against the glowing beams, looked dangerous hard faces, sunglasses reflecting the streetlights, and an air of menace about them that made my skin crawl. I gasped, instinctively grabbing Lily and yanking Ethan by the arm.

The morning light filtered weakly through the curtains, casting fractured patterns on the floor — much like my thoughts, splintered and jagged. I sat at the small kitchen table, clutching my cup of cold coffee, staring at the leather-bound book *Reflections of the Forgotten* open before me. The stories inside weren’t just tales — they were warnings, lessons written in sorrow and hope. Women who had lived as shadows, trapped in lives borrowed from others, fighting to reclaim their own reflections.

While Willow was taken aback as Oscar’s advances had gone unnoticed, Roy burned with rage, imagining the thoughts that ran through Oscar’s mind when he freshened up for Willow. He pressed his finger up Oscar’s chest. “Don’t get any ideas about her. Don’t you know who she belongs to?” As Oscar backed away, Willow felt bad and pushed Roy’s arm away. “Roy!” With Willow having Oscar’s back, Roy let his emotions get the better of him and seized the back of her neck to take her breath away. Willow was thrown against the metal door, the loud clang initiating the voice-activated lights.
