I am so disappointed_______. ‘Mom please, before you say all those awful things to me hear me out, please,’ Connie sobbed Raising her arms in resignation Lora frowned at her as she said drily, ‘Ok, I am all ears.’ Connie blew her nose first, speaking softly she said, ‘I just don’t know where to begin to explain things to you. First thing let me clarify these photos. That day I lied that I was going for lunch with Emma I was actually going to meet with this guy and he happens to be the same guy that I assumed had come looking for me on the day of Emma’s fake disappearance. The reason I have not brought him to meet you is because he is not my boyfriend, actually he is someone who has been haun

Ava placed the reason too late. “Penny, no!” It’s too late now; she heard Passerini’s voice in her head. She couldn’t stop Penny as she charged towards the source of the cold spot. A shadow golem. The worst of the worst. At the same time, another horde of shadows came at Ava, cutting her off from Penny, both locked in a fight for their lives. These shadows were stronger. They were not fragments like the ones Sven could create. These were originals. They could have only come from one place.

The Shadebound was silent for a long moment before they finally said, “Dawnfire holds the answers you seek. But be warned—understanding the Veil comes at a cost.” The shadows around them began to swirl, growing denser. The figure started to fade, their presence slipping between the seams of reality. But before they vanished completely, their voice lingered in the air like a whisper carried by the wind. “You will either control the Veil… or it will control you.” Then, they were gone. The silence left behind was suffocating. Bram was the first to break it. “Well, that was ominous.” Freya sheathed her dagger. “Ominous? That was a damn death sentence.”

Her tearful acceptance fills me with elation, but just as quickly, a shadow descends, enveloping me in darkness. I hear Valentina’s desperate cry as she reaches out for me, but I’m powerless to escape the suffocating grip of the void. It swallows me whole, tearing me away from her. I jolt awake, my heart pounding furiously against my chest. Sweat coats my brow, and my breath comes in ragged gasps. It takes me a moment to orient myself. In the dimness of my room, I sit up, running a trembling hand through my dishevelled hair as I flick on the bedside lamp. It’s the same dream, the same vivid scenes playing out before my eyes, tormenting me relentlessly every single night.

I stepped on a twig which sent shivers down my spine and almost fell, my veil fell to the floor. "Did you hear that?" I heard someone ask. I quickly grabbed my veil and hid behind a tree. A flashlight was flashed towards my direction but they couldn't see me because of the huge tree. My heart pounded in my chest when I heard the rustling of leaves coming towards me. I couldn't afford to get caught after so much effort I put into this plan. If it fell through, I might never be able to get my child out of their clutches again.

" I choked out, clutching the manuscript against my chest as I backed away until my spine hit the cold stone wall. ​Gabriel smiled—a slow, terrifying curve of his lips as he stepped into the dim beam of light. ​"I told you before, little bird," Gabriel whispered, reaching out to take the corner of the parchment from my trembling hands. "There is nowhere in this town where my shadow can not reach."

The morning light filtered weakly through the curtains, casting fractured patterns on the floor — much like my thoughts, splintered and jagged. I sat at the small kitchen table, clutching my cup of cold coffee, staring at the leather-bound book *Reflections of the Forgotten* open before me. The stories inside weren’t just tales — they were warnings, lessons written in sorrow and hope. Women who had lived as shadows, trapped in lives borrowed from others, fighting to reclaim their own reflections.

I felt the toxic energy hum through the air, and my heart raced as we rolled away from the immediate danger. Pelin wasted no time. She yelled “Shadow Veil!” cloaking us in darkness and temporarily concealing our presence. It was a clever move, but Virgo’s sharp laugh told me it wouldn’t last long. “Do you really think you can hide from me?” Virgo’s voice rang out, soft and honeyed, yet laced with malice. “There’s no escape here—only death!” I gritted my teeth as Virgo spread her arms. The air shifted, thickening with a swirling purple haze.

I thought his deeply protective, nurturing nature meant he was falling for me, too. Why on earth did you let your foolish assumptions get the best of you, Raegan? Why did you mistake basic human decency and care for romantic love? You are so incredibly stupid. I tilted my head back and stared up at the dark, heavy clouds. The deep, reddish tint of the atmosphere signaled that a torrential downpour was bound to unleash at any given second. There wasn't a single star in sight, the moon was completely hidden from view, and the only remaining presence was the shivering, howling wind. It felt like a sick, twisted joke that the desolate sky right now perfectly mirrored the chaotic storm brewing in

One more lie had been erased. He walked to the back of Marcus’s SUV and used a finger to write in the layer of canyon dust on the rear window: SILENCE. He then took the laminated card—the same design as the one left for Julian—and placed it in Marcus’s lifeless hand. The silk has been cut. The Shadow’s Return Silas climbed back up the ridge, disappearing into the scrub brush as the first hints of a cold, grey dawn began to bleed over the horizon. He moved with the same deliberate, unhurried pace.
