The Shards Mga Nobela at Kwento

“It’s a tether to the timelines that were never meant to converge. Echoes of realities that refused to collapse. And now… they’re breaking through.” Evryn felt a coldness settle in her chest. “If this is true, it means the convergence wasn’t the final merge,” she said. “It was the first.” Aurex’s voice darkened. “And those echoes… they could be corrupted. Untethered from reality, with no consequence.” Elara nodded. “I’ve seen one already. A figure calling himself The Shard. He exists in fragments—across every broken outcome. And he wants the Core... or what’s left of it.”

she shouted, surprising everyone, including herself. He turned, raising an eyebrow. “What?” “We can’t fight them and each other,” Anna said. “Truce. Just until we get the shard.” Damian hesitated but eventually nodded. “Fine. But don’t get in our way.” The two groups worked together, albeit grudgingly, using their combined skills to subdue the spirits and navigate the crypt’s labyrinthine corridors. --- The Shard At last, they reached the central chamber. The Mirror of Echoes stood tall, its surface rippling like liquid silver. Embedded in its frame was the shard, glowing with an otherworldly light.

The pack watches as she pulls the shard free, its obsidian surface pulsing with faint light. “One down,” Ryland says, his voice tight. “How many more?” “Two,” Selene replies. “But they’re not close.” --- **The Second Shard** The second shard lies in the Shadow pack’s territory, hidden in the ruins of Zane’s fortress. The air reeks of decay, the walls crumbling under the weight of time. Jarek steps forward, his gaze sharp. “This place is cursed.” “We don’t have a choice,” I say, my voice firm.

Hello readers Since we've recovered the data that we thought we lost, we'll be able to update the remaining novels. Like before, we'll be starting with Shards of time and move on to Until then.

A variety of a dozen or so tents litter the small clearing. A small group is gathered around a fire, far off to our right, on the edge of the clearing, consisting of three Omegas Cody, David and Tony, and an Elder, Alazaer. The Omegas are each holding a glass beer bottle and seem to be taking turns trying to get Alazaer to laugh. However, each time, he just raises a thick gray eyebrow at them with a blank and unamused expression on his tan wrinkled face.

A small, encrypted data-shard was wedged into the structural joint, vibrating with a faint, violet light. I pried it loose. It was a sliver of black glass, no bigger than a fingernail, but the weight of it felt monumental. This was the unedited record of the Night of Shards—the truth that the Elders had formatted out of the pack's collective mind. I tucked the shard into the lining of my oversized sleeve, the cold glass pressing against my inner wrist. I needed to move. I needed to get back to the server basement before the drone’s docking cycle finished.

"That is why I know you will still have my back." Before I could respond, the first shots rang out. Bullets flew toward us from every direction, a hailstorm of metal and fire. Kael raised his hands, and a wave of heat exploded from his body. The flames met the bullets mid-air, melting them into liquid slag that splattered harmlessly against the ground. I saw Vex and Cass fighting at the far side, their bodies moving in sync, making sure their vehicle did not receive any more damage. The packages of crystals were still inside, the hope for everyone who had been infected. Those could not be destroyed. Those were too important.

Kayo portals us straight out onto the roof of the Medical Arts Building as the entire sub-basement caves in behind us. Dawn is still two hours away. The city sleeps. And I’m holding forty-one pieces of forever in my chest. Remy kisses the silver scar on my forehead. Remy: “Romania next.”

The shard’s golden light blocked it, but the force sent her skidding across the floor. Cade shouted her name, voice cracking. The reflection turned toward him again. “You don’t deserve her,” it hissed. “You never did.” Cade stumbled to his feet, rage lighting his features. “Touch her again,” he snarled, “and I swear I will rip every shadow out of you.” The reflection smiled like it was amused. “Try.” The Shard’s Warning The shard in Maeve’s hand vibrated violently — not in fear, but in revelation.
