Shimmer Shine Leah Novels & Stories

One moment she was powerless, the bond being stripped away piece by piece. The next, her wolf rose up inside her like a tidal wave. Like a dam breaking. Stronger than ever before. Wild. Ancient. For three heartbeats, Lyra felt power she'd never experienced. Power she'd never even imagined. Power that made the air around her shimmer and ripple. Power that made shadows dance at her feet like living things. Power that made the pack members step back in fear. Helena's face went white. Snow white. Her green eyes widened in recognition and something else.

"Mission failed. You are scheduled for erasure. Would you like to restart the mission—to keep trying to save him?" I shook my head. "Erase me." "Understood. Erasure program activated. You have 72 hours left." … I closed my eyes. The silence around me was almost deafening. But soon, as if driven by some strange impulse, I opened Rose Wells' livestream.

Her green eyes roamed over Lydia as she exclaimed, “Oh my God!” Lydia stifled a laugh; she knew her mom would soon comment on her beauty and how she would sweep every male off their feet that evening. It was clear that Lydia resembled her mother, both standing tall and slender, with curves that could captivate anyone. Lydia had inherited Luna Alice's striking green eyes, long tan limbs, pointed nose, and beautifully shaped lips.

I tilt my head to the ugly yellow dress I brought, “Don't forget to smile as you walk. The whole world is watching! You wanted the world to see you, Leah? Good. Now they'll never forget you. Leah Woods. The clown bride."

She cried, revealing her dimples, one of the numerous features she had gotten from Kendrick. “How are you doing, my angel?” I asked, spinning her in the air as she laughed. We were still bonding when Dina, her nanny, walked up to us with a little plague in hand, “Her award arrived today.” She said, showing off the piece. “Award?” Teddy asked, reminding me of his presence. “Who is he?” Kayden asked, looking from me to Teddy before settling her gaze on me as she used her eyes to demand answers. Setting her on the floor, I stood between her and Teddy, “Kayden, meet my friend, Teddy Lopez, Teddy, Kayden Darwin.” I said, folding my hands in front of me.

"Just do it!" She took the heavy denim, wrapping it tightly around her forearms, and turned to the creature. It lunged, a blur of black chitin and violet fire. Leah didn't dodge; she threw herself into a low slide, passing directly under the beast's belly. As she passed, she saw the truth through the distortion: the creature had no underside. It was hollow a shell made of shadow and the forest’s own decay. "It’s not real!" Leah shouted, scrambling to her feet as the beast turned. "It’s a manifestation of the pressure! Close your eyes and move! If you believe it can hurt you, it will!"

In a moment of rage, I seized the trophy from Cody and charged at Sydney like a madwoman. "AAH!" However, the trophy hit Cody's back instead. He pushed hard, and the trophy's sharp edge sliced across my face. Blood stained the carpet as the trophy fell to the floor. "Jenny, have you lost your mind?" In his blind spot, Sydney shook a remote control at me. It was a remote control for a bomb! There were only three minutes left on the countdown! She took out a handkerchief to wipe away my blood, smiling provocatively and triumphantly at me. "Your mother is in the car outside, the same one that hit her and paralyzed her. I specifically bought it back."

I said, pitching my voice just loud enough for the circle of guests to hear. "You asked me to remind you to take off the cubic zirconia replica before the flash photography tonight. You said the silver setting tarnishes easily under bright lights." It got really quiet all of a sudden. Tiffany's smile froze. Mitchell from the Times choked on his drink. Alice, standing near the bar, began to physically shiver as Lea's face drained of all color. For two seconds, Lea just stared at me. Then, her humiliation violently morphed into rage.

She needed to make Damon think she was too eager to remove Amoux from her life. “D-Damon, you are right. I can't believe that I didn't believe you!” Leah finally acted. Her eyes were moist, and she pushed Damon away from her. “I want to be alone, Damon. I don't have anything anymore. I'm the useless Omega again.” Her voice cracked.

He left no holes unexplored. I watched the moon through the window while I waited for him to fall into a deep sleep. Selene's halo of alloy-silver shimmered down magnificently. Her beauty shone through the wide double windows, reminding me of her presence and that she was with me always. Sometimes I could have sworn the moon spoke to me. Like that night, she told me to go to the swamps and find her. I didn't know who this her was, but I knew I couldn't disobey the Moon Goddess.
