Novel & Cerita The Shadowed Legion

Slowly, the great iron doors ground open, revealing only blackness beyond. “Release them,” I commanded. At my word, the shadow-wolves parted, stepping aside to admit the creatures from beyond. One by one, they emerged, eyes aflame, muzzles frothing, claws clicking on stone. They moved like smoke, bodies shifting and reforming with every step. Their growls rumbled in my chest, a symphony of primal power. I raised my arms in triumph. “Go forth, my legion! Bring the night to Crimson Moon!”

On our wedding night, my wife, who almost never drank, got wasted because she was supposedly too happy. Just when I didn't know what to do, my best friend sent me a long message explaining how to take care of her. I blushed, but I still followed his instructions and soothed her the way he described. Natalie, who had been making a scene, miraculously quieted down. But just as I was about to call my friend and thank him, Natalie suddenly hugged me from behind. Heartbroken, she whispered, "Ashton Hawke, you're the one I wanted to marry." As she said it, the tattoo near her heart slipped into view: a hawk with its wings spread wide. My mind went blank. Ashton Hawke was my best friend of

Hunters. “Shadowthorn sends a message!” one roared. “The Alpha wants his heirs!” Aria shoved the twins behind her, blades already drawn. “Over my dead body.” Luka’s shadows flared. Lila growled, tiny body vibrating with power. The lead hunter lunged. Aria met him mid air, driving both blades into his chest. Hot blood sprayed across her face. She twisted, using his momentum to slam him into the second attacker. Luka’s shadows wrapped the third wolf’s legs, yanking him down. Lila pounced, ripping out his throat with a snarl that was far too mature for her age.

After forty years of the alternative, the simplicity of it had a weight. The eastern territories had been reading the proceedings documentation for two weeks. They had the shape of the history by now — the alliance, the ambush, forty years of a people surviving in hiding while the kingdom that had destroyed them called itself civilised. The Vampire King walking openly through their markets was not the threat the old stories had prepared them for. It was a man carrying the accumulated weight of everything his people had survived, choosing to be visible about both the survival and the weight. Because visibility was the only real answer to thirty years of the other side's lies.

I let out a piercing shriek, covering my ears. "Putangina..." Dominic gasped, his breathing turning incredibly shallow and ragged. When I frantically looked down at him, my heart stopped... dark, thick blood was rapidly soaking through the fabric of his pant leg. Shaking with pure terror, I grabbed his shoulders, but he immediately reached up, cupping my cheeks with his trembling hands to force me to look at him. "Raegan, my love, listen to me very carefully..." he whispered urgently.

“Lycans don’t mingle with humans. The rules are clear: we’re meant to stay among our kind, to protect our bloodline.” “That sounds... outdated.” “It’s more than outdated. It’s brutal.” I can’t stop the shiver that runs down my spine. Shadow’s words paint a picture of a closed-off world, ruled by rigid, merciless laws. A world where what we have would never be allowed. “Then what do we do?” Shadow falls silent for a moment, as if caught between what he wants and what he knows he should do. Finally, he steps closer, his fingers brushing against mine. “I’ll protect you. No matter what.”

Collins scolds her, but to her credit, she actually shuts up and turns expectant eyes on Ansel. “I was doing some research about the shadow god for a school project, and asked her to get some info for me. She couldn’t get it because he wasn’t around at that time, but she had a little information that I also had, except some of the details were different. I learnt that the shadow god was an abomination, born from an unholy ritual. The son of the god of death and the moon goddess.” “Wh…” Tali begins, but is cut off when Collins puts his hand over her mouth, effectively silencing her.

The purifying power that fought against darkness. If she could strengthen it. If she could learn to control it... Maybe she could save herself. Save her mates. She had to try. --- Miles away, Marcus ran toward the command tent. His face was pale with panic. "Sir!" he shouted. "Lucian!" Lucian looked up from the war maps spread across the table. "What is it?" "Shadow wolves. Hundreds of them. Coming from the north and west." Lucian's silver eyes went hard. "How long?"
