To Kill A Shadow Book 2 Novels & Stories

"You are not the shadow. You are fighting it. Every moment. That is what matters." I look at the bodies. At the destruction. At the message carved into the village square. The shadow does not forgive. "Yes," I whisper. "It does not. But I do." I turn to my wolves. "We find the shadow. We destroy it. And we end this." The hunt begins. The shadow is out there. Wearing my face. Killing in my name. And I will not rest until it is gone.

And for a moment, the predatory lust in his heart was replaced by something much more dangerous: respect. "Well," Killian whispered, his own shift beginning to take over as his skin rippled with black fur and gold light. "If we’re going to die in the Gray, at least we’ll do it covered in their blood." The two most powerful outcasts in North Carolina stood side-by-side on the narrow bridge, a Blackwood Alpha and a Devonshire Hybrid, facing down an army of shadows.

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.

“We have no control over this, like you. We have been finding ways to kill or make the monster stop but all of it is not successful.” “BUT YOU SACRIFICED STEVEN FOR GOODNESS’ SAKE!” I shouted at them. “We did-” “DON’T YOU DARE MAKE A FOOL OF US. WE SAW IT!” “Your friend jumped there on his own,” She cuts me off. “And yet you didn’t help him?! What kind of people are you?!” She grabs the book from my hand and desperately turns its page until she reaches one and gives the book back to me. “The way to satisfy the shadow is to sacrifice the last soul.”

Three of them tackled Devin while the other two pounced on me, their claws dug into my flesh through my leather attire and teeth attempted to graze my skin as both wolves fought for dominance over my vulnerable state. Both wolves wanted the pleasure of killing me. ‘Not today mutts.’ Shadow commented and I felt myself shifting. This was her fight too and it was time I let the beast in me out for the world to see. My form grew; forcing both wolves off me with a powerful shove of my large body. The first wolf went crashing feet away from me while the second tried scrambling away, but it wasn’t fast enough to avoid my canines clamping down on its neck. The wolf thrashed under my hold, its claws

Eighteen Years Ago The Shadow Pack burned that night; the storm came first, then came the lightning. It split the sky in two; thunder shook the very foundation of the pack, like the growl of a vengeful god. The rain lashed out, falling heavily, but it didn't quench the fire swallowing the packhouse whole. The flames devoured the Alpha's mansion and everything that stood in their way. Hidden in the hollow oak tree is a child with jet-black hair clutching a leather-bound book to her chest.

My blood ran cold, claws flexing about to attack when it disappeared again. Who’s the shadow?

Am I going to die? "Seems as though you find the bookshelf to be a world full of chocolates and cakes, no?" His voice continued, sinister. I turned around, blanketing my nervousness and caution towards him. He took a step towards me and I felt myself shift back. I was scared and I couldn't deny that. Somehow, I could tell he knew I saw the gun, his eyes seemed even darker. "S-" I couldn't get my words together, even my nerves weren't working at this point.

“You thought you could escape? The game has only begun.” --- The Shadows Strike The library was plunged into darkness. Anna felt the book in her hands grow heavier, its leather cover vibrating faintly. “Stay close!” she shouted, but her voice was swallowed by the oppressive silence. A faint glow emerged from the shelves, revealing twisted figures with hollow eyes and jagged grins. They moved unnaturally, their bodies bending and snapping as they approached. “Run!” Logan yelled, grabbing Sophia’s hand.The group scattered, their footsteps pounding against the floor. Anna held onto the journal tightly, her mind racing. The book and mirror weren’t just cursed—they were anchors for the shadows.

Things happened too quickly, and Shadow Two shielded Clara behind him to block the black figure’s attack. That black figure just moved past him. Shadow Two’s face stiffened as his eyes widened in disbelief. In that instant, he felt an overwhelming sense of dread, but he could not do anything. Bam! Shadow Two fell in front of Clara. Clara’s face froze. She could not understand what had happened. After a long time, she finally realized what had happened. “Shadow Two!” she cried out in rage and shock. The black figure had killed her guard! Who was he? Why did he obey Dustin?
