"You do not," I said simply. "You do not know. Just like I do not know if one day my power will overwhelm me and I will become the monster everyone fears." Gasps throughout the hall. Draven's hand tightened on mine in warning, but I continued. "I am Shadowborn. That means I carry destruction in my blood. The potential for catastrophic violence. That will never change.

Each of them formidable alphas from packs with unique abilities and legacies. Caius Knight Black of the Nightshade Pack was a tall man with long, sleek black hair that framed his chiseled face. His eyes were a piercing silver, sharp and calculating, often concealed under the shadow of his brow. The Nightshade Pack was known for their mastery over shadows and stealth, and Caius embodied that secrecy and quiet danger. His wolf, as dark as night itself, was a shadow among shadows, capable of blending into the darkness without a trace.

I growled and glared at the sky where she stood. I didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop. She clutched me, gasping. “Xavier…!” “I’ve got you,” I rasped. “Stay behind me.” “Alpha, we are not going to be able to fight her when she is in the sky.” Hunter said, and I nodded, knowing that he was right. Lorenzo staggered to his feet again, blood soaking his shirt, eyes burning with cold, murderous determination. “XAVIER!” he barked, pointing at Valerie. “If she dies, if Lisa kills her, darkness will consume everything.

They tore a swath of utter devastation through the enemy vanguard, leaving a trail of broken armor and vanquished foes across the courtyard. Suddenly the Vanguard General charged at them, his anti-mana warhammer crackling with dark purple lightning. "Die, Apex scum!" the General roared, swinging the massive hammer in a wide, crushing arc toward Caelum’s head. Caelum didn't even duck. He raised his left hand, catching the giant dark-silver warhammer by its head. The anti-mana lightning surged into his arm, but Caelum merely growled, his silver-gold eyes flaring with cold contempt.

The giant rogue raises his heavy silver-tipped hammer to deliver the final, crushing blow to my skull. Through a haze of pain and blurred vision, I see the towering syndicate behemoth standing over me, his obsidian-plated armor stained with soot and blood as he hefts the colossal two-handed weapon into the air. The silver-infused head of the hammer hums with a lethal, vibrating resonance that charges the surrounding air with ozone and purple dark energy, casting a long, ominous shadow across my face.

Ximena had teleported right in front of me and taken the hit. "Ximena!" That one actually hurt to watch. "Still refusing to repent. Fine. Then you can die with him." Derrick swung his whip again. Right at that critical moment, the system popped up. [Ding. Target Ximena is in mortal danger. The system has issued a combat reward pack. Stored in inventory.] [Devoting host, take up your weapon and protect your target. If you devote, you commit to the end.] I did not have time to listen to the system's dramatic speech. I opened my inventory as fast as I could. Two items appeared—a shield called Gravity Flying Shield and a meteor hammer called… Overpowered Meteor Hammer.

The darkness loomed around them like a cloak. Sekhmet carried an old-fashioned torch he pulled from a hole in the wall to light the way.

However, the Rank 9 Undead Skeletal Heavy Swordsman on the gigantic hawk could be seen staring at Shawn. "Shawn, the Sky Hawk Organization killed my son. Don't think that I’ll allow any of you to escape from here!" Spencer roared. The Rank 9 Undead Skeletal Heavy Swordsman giggled. "Shawn, it has been years since we last met. I had never thought our next meeting would be the day I take away your life." Shawn was glaring at the Rank 9 Undead Skeletal Heavy Swordsman.
