Novel & Cerita Stranger By The Shore Shun

they smile. “See you Ady” Shane calls after me. I don’t know what is going on with Shane but he’s been slowly getting more and more aggressive towards me. Thankfully pack slaves were banned here at Half Moon. Shivers run up my back as I remember his fingers on my lower back.

her smile disappeared and was replaced by a frown. Hail, Sybb, Kulv, Iero, Mahi, Skye, Hierro, Reyan, and Laggas who have already ‘met’ the other races when they defeated them could guess what Loheiruchel and Mhir are trying to say. “The Other Shore is extremely dangerous.” Skye said. “Yes.” Dawey nodded in affirmation. “It must have been hard for Mhir.” Hierro said and looked at Mhir. Mhir shook her head. “My grandpa and father raised me well!” she said and smiled.

She turned properly toward the tall stranger standing beside her and realized she had absolutely no idea who he was but somehow he knew Rowan. For several seconds, Shannon simply stared at him through blurry tear filled eyes. The cold wind whipped around them violently, yet somehow the stranger standing beside her looked completely unaffected by it. Or maybe completely unaffected by emotions in general. Because his face remained calm, unreadable, like he genuinely had no idea what to do with a crying woman standing near the edge of a rooftop. Then suddenly Shannon laughed softly, a broken laugh, the kind that sounded more painful than crying itself. “I never expected this…” she whispered sha

Lucien Arden took the throne. He crowned Rosalind Hartwell empress. And Evelyn Hartwell—the principal wife who had fought at his side all the way from embattled prince to emperor—was given only the rank of Imperial Consort. The day the decree came down, Silverleaf Palace was completely silent. Every servant kept their head lowered and hardly dared to breathe, afraid that Evelyn would weep, or throw things, or come apart the way any consort does when the emperor's favor leaves her. Evelyn simply accepted the decree, calmly. “I thank His Majesty for his generosity.” There was no movement in her voice and nothing in her face. Even her beautiful eyes held not the slightest trace of grief.

“Nobody should sound like that.” Her throat tightened with tears. “I thought… I thought I was done for.” “You weren’t,” he said firmly. “Not while I was close.” Suddenly a noise snapped behind them, dry leaves crunching. The stranger turned sharply. Sienna gasped, grabbing his arm. A shadow moved between the trees. “Stay down,” he whispered, shielding her with his body. The shadow stepped closer… then stopped. A raccoon scurried out from the brush, glowing eyes reflecting the moonlight before it disappeared again.

“Then prove me wrong. Tell me why I should believe you. Convince all of us here at this moment and we might call our friends on the other side to back off. But you have to hurry. Raeya is waiting for me.” Grey looked at the members of Aegis. “The Shore is what we want. I believe you already have an idea. The Shore has been our protector ever since the beginning of time. It rejuvenates the Earth after a storm. It doesn’t dissolve them, it simply absorbs them away from Earth. The Shore has a thousand doors but they are divided mainly into two worlds: the yin and yang. The black side is where we want to store every little thing that Hearth created–the ones that went out of control.”

Music blares through the car speakers and I can literally feel the bass. I laugh to myself. “Hey, baby!” A boy in a blue Ford next to my car shouts. He is clean-shaven and his eyes are ocean blue. He has an accent. He’s British, I think. And he’s also shirtless. Why is he driving shirtless? “Why are you driving shirtless?” I yell so he can hear me. “And I’m not your baby.” I say loudly also. He laughs. “Where are you going?” Why would I tell a stranger where I’m going. A stranger that I literally just met while driving.

Hindi ko alam na sila pala iyong kumanta nang stranger. "Ano bang title?" ay letche! "'Yung stranger!" malakas kong sigaw na ikina-lingon saamin ng halos lahat. "Shuta ka! kahiya kang kasama!" nakita kong tumingin siya sa paligid at agad na pinamulahan ng mukha. "Pero gustong-gusto naman akong kasama," mahinang parinig ko sa kaniya. Nakita kong umirap lang siya at hinila na lang ako pataas. Gumagawa kami nang eskandalo dito!

“Why are we stopping? We don’t have time for this.” I took in a long breath, forcing myself to meet his stare. “We need to head back to the beach,” I said firmly, trying to steady my tone even though everything in me wanted to scream. Shane immediately threw his arms up, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “That’s brilliant. Really. The beach? You want to run right back into the slaughterhouse? Do you realize that’s where every single one of them is probably waiting for us? Just sitting there with claws and blades ready to gut us the moment we show up?”

Stephan then stood behind me and whispered, "You know weddings are the best place to meet people, but apparently you already have a boyfriend and his name is also Stephan!" I nudged him lightly in the stomach with my elbow and I felt him involuntarily shiver. I closed the small gap between us so I could feel his warm chest against my back, it was nice. Shut it Lauren, I thought to myself. I only got closer because it would look more like we were dating if we weren’t standing miles away from each other. Look more like boyfriend and girlfriend rather than strangers–which we in fact are. After a few moments of small talk, it was announced by several members of the wedding party that everyone wa
