Ava's scream went through the bond before she had air to give it sound. Ryder shifted mid-leap toward the portal, already shifting, the crimson of his eyes blazing full and absolute, and the alliance wolves around the room were moving, the music stands overturning, the guests backing toward the walls, and through the crack in the floor a voice rose — deep, layered, the voice she'd dissolved in a shadow realm three weeks ago. Still here. Still waiting. *"The heir is mine."* The voice of the Shadow King, fuller now than it had been on the ridge, fuller than it had been in the shadow realm, powered by the full moon and the unspoken vow and everything they hadn't known they'd left unsealed.

"If we want to eliminate them, we cannot just kill the soldiers we see. We have to go inside their territory, destroy the gate, and behead the snake... kill their leader." "Who is their leader?" Isabella asked, her hand resting on her weapon. She was ready to fight too. "They call him 'The Shadow King'," Master Shen explained. "He is an ancient entity born from the first darkness. He is powerful, arrogant, and incredibly cruel. He wants Aria's power to break his seal and rule both worlds." I clenched my fists. "Then I will send him back to hell where he belongs." Three hours later. We were ready.

Somewhere in the depths of the Underworld, a god awaited his bride—and Penelope, terrified and powerless, was being pushed toward him like a lamb to the slaughter. The Underworld pulsed with a life of its own. It was a place where shadows danced along the cavernous walls, and the faint hum of restless souls filled the air like a mournful symphony. The grand halls of Hades' mansion, carved from obsidian and veined with faint streaks of glowing red, emanated an eerie beauty. The torches lining the walls burned with blue flames, casting ghostly light across the smooth floors, which seemed to absorb sound and reflect only silence.

It reminded the Forgotten who they were and set them free. Confusion rippled through the army. Awakening spread. But from the army’s heart a new power rose, a shadow so deep it swallowed the light. The awakened Forgotten didn’t turn to mist, they shattered. The Shadow King came. He did not walk but formed a figure of solid night, faceless eyes on Liora, standing between the bleeding stone and her two protectors. His voice was the sound of breaking worlds. You use my weapon against me? he echoed in their minds, thinking memory is comfort? It’s tormenting, I will show you.

⸻ A deep laugh echoed from behind them. Slow. Cruel. Patient. ⸻ The Shadow King emerged from the darkness. Unlike before… His face was fully visible. He looked exactly like Alessio. Only older. His skin was marked with black veins. His eyes burned like living fire. A black crown rested upon his head. ⸻ Adrian immediately hid behind Alessio. “Father…” His tiny voice trembled. “He found us.” ⸻ The Shadow King smiled. “My dear brother…” He looked directly at Alessio.

Chandler's legs gave way, and he sank to the floor. He stared blankly at the blood-covered flesh on his hand, murmuring, “It’s really her, it’s really her… “How could this happen?” He asked as he gazed at Ben, his eyes bloodshot, panic and anger surging within him. With a wave of his arm, he sent everything nearby crashing to the ground. Then, he seized Ben’s collar. “Bring me all the data on A167!” His voice trembled as he sank into despair. “Wasn’t it said that the special drug was supposed to be effective?”

Almost there. But as she neared the exit, a large shadow emerged from behind a stack of old wooden crates blocking her path. A man stepped out of the darkness with unnerving calmness, as if he had been waiting for her there all along. Claire stopped so suddenly she nearly stumbled. Her eyes went wide as she recognized the figure standing before her. "Arthur?" Her voice came out hoarse, barely audible.

His lips moved toward hers, drawn by a gravity he couldn't fight. But then, the second half of the prophecy echoed in his mind like a curse. “Beware the Shadow... the anchor that drags the King into the dust.” He looked down at Floreighn. She was pale. She was a servant. She was the Shadow Twin who lived in the corners of the world. The oracle hadn't just promised him a Sun; it had warned him about her. She wasn't his mate; she was the thief of empires sent by the Goddess to test his resolve. She was the anchor meant to keep him a commoner forever.
