HIS DARKEST SHADE BOOK-THREE ~Prologue~ “Even if you end up hating me for it.” His tone was vicious. “I might scare you,” he continued, his gaze roaming over her trembling form, “but they are far worse—formidable, vicious… and willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want.” He gestured toward her. “Including you.” “Never.” She shook her head, her voice trembling but firm. “I’m not scared of your words. You’re just trying to scare me so I’ll listen to you!”

A sharp agonizing pain pierce my skull and I grip my head with both hands, my body shaking violently. I force my eyes open and all I can see is pitch darkness — and a blinding golden glow, the same light that erupts from necklace that night in the pack. My legs give out instantly. My body slump and hit the ground hard as Darkness took over.

Without further explanation, he thrust his hand inside. The chamber lit up instantly. A bright glow burst from the wall, engulfing Cassius, Ethan, and Asher in radiant light. Everyone froze, breath locked in their throats, watching as the brilliance swallowed them. Then, just as suddenly, the glow faded, and the holes fell back into shadow.

Joanne’s POV The burning in my chest spread like wildfire, searing through every vein until I couldn’t tell where the pain ended and I began. The room spun in violent circles; the world narrowed to choking smoke, black edges closing in.

I barely managed to glance up in time to see the bookshelf sway, a hulking shadow tilting forward, ready to crush me.

Part 1: Run The first gunshot shattered the window. Glass exploded across the floor. Lina instinctively ducked. Her heart hammering against her ribs. “Move!” Adrian ordered. He grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the back hallway. Behind them— More shouting. More footsteps. More danger. Victor's people were already inside. Part 2: No More Hiding They raced through the dark house. The emergency lights flickered red. Everything felt unreal. Like a nightmare she couldn't wake up from.

His eyes glowed faintly, like twin embers burning in an endless night. Mohammed and Susan remained on the floor, paralyzed. Every muscle locked in place, every heartbeat a drum of fear. The house itself seemed to breathe with them, sharing their terror of the man who had finally emerged from the darkness. Scene Three – Muhammad and Suzanne’s Memory** Muhammad and Suzanne sat on the ground in front of *Shams al-Duhur Palace*, gazing at his imposing face, as if time itself had stopped at those amber eyes glowing with mystery. Suddenly, Muhammad’s memory returned to the moment he was sitting in the car, when they had stopped in front of the building before heading to Shams al-Duhur’s house, and

Without looking back, I vanished into the snow. Andrew stood in the snow, staring in the direction I had gone. His hoarse voice drifted through the wind. "You won't abandon me, Eleanor." A month later, at a bar in Glaciercrest Pack, I sat by the window, sipping coffee as I admired the snowy landscape outside. The murmurs of travelers around me reached my ears. "Did you hear? Darkmoon Pack’s strongest warrior confessed to murdering his ex-father-in-law and was sentenced today." My fingers froze around my coffee cup.

narrowing my gaze in order to have a clearer view. I saw it. A shinny slivery ring. I gasped. I knew what it was... The seal. I tried to move closer, to see his face—but the moment I stepped forward, the scene and ground shifted. Suddenly, everywhere was pitch dark... Not even the stars showed up. It was like a cold, long night of agony and terror. A night filled with so much evil and violence. I saw him again, he stood in the same frame and poise as before but unlike before which was a snowy mountain this was atop a hill... a pile of bones and skulls scattered beneath his feet, corpses and wolves, some missing an eye or a skin or a flesh.

Explosions boomed—charges detonating trucks, fireballs lighting fog. Pain bloomed in my shoulder—grazed. I spun, headshot. Back-to-back with Shane, we mowed them—bullets whizzing, bodies falling. Girls to van, us last. Tires screeched, docks fading. Safe house: Nuns' shelter, girls handed over with tears. Home: Wounds cleaned, whiskey poured. Shane bandaged me, lips soft on skin. "We won this round." Alejandro's call: Voicemail rage. "You'll pay."

Maybe when she dies, she would finally understand. And just then, she saw the man saunter forward, to kill her, and she tried to smile, to embrace her own death. At least, she would die happy and would be able to see her mother again. She helped herself sit up and watched as the man moved towards her, slowly, as if taking his time. He bent towards her level and held a smirk on his face before raising his hand high, to strike her. But before he would be able to do that, they all saw a bright light that shone ahead of them, almost blinding and a man approaching whose appearance started to reveal bit by bit and that was when Josephine saw him.
