Ava's words stayed on my mind, and I knew my bed would soon be empty. "Olivja, please," Jack said as he followed me into the bedroom. "What do you want, Jack?" I asked him, and he looked down with no response. "The feeling was overwhelming," he said, and I laughed. "You'd better head to Shadow and complete what you began, Jack.

"Eleanor, don't you see? That's us when we were kids. Give me a chance, please. Let me spend the rest of my life making up for everything. I'll get you whatever you want. Just let me stay by your side." A single, scalding tear fell onto the back of my ice-cold hand. It almost burned. Who would have thought that the strongest warrior of Darkmoon Pack would cry because of me? I sighed. My voice carried a cold edge as I said, "Andrew, I just want you to disappear from my sight." Still, he refused to let go. But before he could say another word, Kalel shoved him aside and pulled me away without hesitation. Without looking back, I vanished into the snow.

he tells me. I look at him in disbelief. We both know that I can suggest that, but she won't agree. "She loves you too now, doesn't she?" he asks me before smacking his hand on a nearby table. "Do you know what you're actually doing? You are selling away your family for the sake of someone else! This is betrayal of the highest form," he says, looking at me. "I expected a lot more from you. You can't have contact with her; it's going to make you soft." "I don't have any cause with destroying the Shadow Fang," I tell him defiantly. But he retorts sharply, "But you have problems destroying it with her in it. And destroying her. She's part of the Shadow Fang."

Its love had been twisted into a weapon, a shadow - play meant to wound, to haunt, to make Vaethea doubt. The grief, the terror, the possessiveness — it had all been a lie, a reflection of something larger than them both. And in that realization, the shadow dissolved into nothingness, leaving only the echo of its agony, the whisper of a universe that had grown bored with one mortal’s obsession. Vaethea’s chest rose and fell with the weight of the silence, but somewhere in the empty space where the shadow had been, the memory of that obsessive love lingered — sharp, cold, and unbearable.

he said, “if they tear you apart, they will not stop there. They will tear the world. And for all my sins, I have… grandchildren. Pups who did not choose Shadow. I would like them to have… air to breathe. Not ash.” His eyes fluttered. Went still. Elia leaned in. Listened. “Tch,” she said softly. She closed his eyelids with two fingers. “He is gone,” she announced. Silence filled the den. Thick. Uncomfortable. Old hatred tangled with new, reluctant respect and the heavier, stranger feeling of… pity. Luna withdrew her hand. There was a faint smear of blood on her fingers. Shadow blood. She stared at it for a瞬.

He’s blackmailing me, he’s a worm, and who knows what else he’ll try to get away with… “We’re getting there. Shaun, if I may be so bold, he hasn’t mentioned his mother?” “Shasha, she left when he was really young, he wouldn’t speak of her. She believed the Coven held back her potential and she went in search of it. Leaving us all behind, even her own son.” “I’m so sorry.” Shaun patted my hand, “It’s alright dear, we have moved on ourselves.” The song ended, “May I cut in?” I turned to see Damien. I smiled politely at him. “Of course,” Shaun smiled at him and handed me over.

He couldn't let a shadow warrior get close to his mate. He remembered the past centuries, the incident that occurred between the lycanthropes, the shadow warriors and the dark angels. The crime his kind had committed and how they had all been punished by the Moon Goddess. It wasn't a pretty memory and he wouldn't think about it now. He just had to make sure...

He growled. Oh my God! How could I have forgotten? Xaden once told me how he once left Shadow somewhere, only to come back to find him gone... Or was it stolen? Anyway, somehow, Shadow found his way back to Xaden, after Xaden had left the town for another. Once he was done taking as much blood to his satisfaction, I sagged off him and collapsed on the ground. Wiping his blood stained lips, Xaden left me cold on the ground and walked away.

She felt the pendant warm against her chest, and the echoes of the Crown’s magic pulsed faintly beneath her fingertips. She closed her eyes, letting the shadows touch her mind. The whispers were soft now, indistinct, reminders of what had been. But she no longer trembled. Instead, she embraced the memory, the warning, the shadow, knowing that it had made her stronger. The Heir’s Shadow was gone from the streets, neutralized and mapped, but it remained a quiet reminder, a testament to the trials endured, the battles survived, and the vigilance required to keep the darkness at bay.
