Even in the dim light, I can see the torn fabric across his abdomen, soaked dark with blood. My heart drops. “Multiple wounds...” Charles says tightly. Only then do I notice the sticky warmth on my hands. I slowly look down. Blood. David’s blood. My fingers are coated in it. His trembling hand suddenly catches my sleeve. I lean closer. “Shaw...” he breathes. “Look into Shaw.” “What about Shaw?” I ask sharply. But David’s grip slips from my sleeve, and his eyes fall shut.

I had no answer. She let me go. Her gaze shifted to the urn in my arms. "You won't take this when it's offered? Then I am taking it from you. "You will not see your father's ashes again." She reached. The blood in my arms went cold. The control I had been holding cracked. "Please… please don't. It wasn't me. I'll do anything, anything you want. Just don't." I was about to fall to my knees again. I would have. The pride and dignity I'd had walking in here had been gone for hours.

However, the sports car engulfed in flames was one of only three in the entire world. One of them was a wedding anniversary gift that Logan had given to me. Logan’s finger hovered midair. He tapped on the news. His gaze locked onto the screen when the photo of the crash site loaded. A charred arm dangled from the stretcher, so badly burned that it was unrecognizable. Nearly everything had been reduced to ashes. The only thing that survived the flames was the distinctive platinum band on the ring finger. With his eyes widening, Logan jolted up from the sofa.

there must be something to do, there must something that I can do, how I can help. “You have to have faith in your mate and you have to have faith in your son. Mariah, if Asher is raised in love, I believe that he won’t go dark and the love in him will overshadow the darkness. Aspa has hated the Night Howlers and Nightwalkers since I created them. Her reason is because the Almighty did not complain about it despite the fact that the Nightwalkers feeds on human blood. But what she doesn’t know, what she has failed to understand is that the main purpose for their existence is love and the ending purpose is still love. Love is the foundation of Nightwalkers and Night Howlers but love is not the

Darian said quietly, his voice filled with quiet reverence, “You can’t change what they’ve done to you. But you can stop it. You have the power to end this—to end the Blood Pact. You’re not the weapon they made you to be. You’re more than that.” Asha swallowed hard, her gaze flicking from the tank to the pedestal that pulsed with dark energy. The Soulbone Imprint—her bloodline—was the source of the Blood Pact. Her ancestors, her people, had been betrayed. And now, as the last of the Frostkin, it was up to her to right the wrongs. But how? Could she destroy the very thing that gave her the power to fight back? Could she sever the connection to her own bloodline, to her own existence, for the

The ultraviolet radiation burned her skin, the scent of singed hair and ozone filling her nostrils, but she didn't let go. "Look at me, Ash!" she screamed into the violet glass of his eyes. "I know you're in there! I know you can hear the Tree screaming! You gave your soul to save me—don't let him use your body to kill everyone else!" The Shadow-Ash paused.

A shudder went through the obsidian armor, and the talons buried in the Tree's bark flexed, nearly pulling away.

he says quietly, “that’s where we finish this. Only if you say so.” “I’ll say so,” I answer. “When the world deserves it.” --- POV: Ashmouth --- They buried me under Solara and called it mercy. They call me Ashmouth because prophecy burned my tongue and left smoke where words should be. I don’t die. I rot. I watch. When Hollowfire meets Hollowblood without a priest between them, my chains ache. The silver cracks a hair’s width. I taste light through stone. Laugh until dust falls from the ceiling.

He couldn't crush the boy's tiny throat. It was at this time that Layla wriggled her body out of Riven's tight hold and placed her bloodstained hand on Asher's stomach, smearing his skin with her blood. Asher screamed at the top of his lungs as her blood burned his entire body. The blood magic that had possessed him suddenly released him and his voice turned to a little child's voice again as he wailed for his mother.
