Novel & Cerita Within My Shadow Manga

“You’re a part of ME. Not the other way round.” “You’re delusional!” Her shadow snarled. Nozomi tightened her grip on her shadow's throat. “YOU wouldn’t exist without me, but I continue to exist without you!” “Of course, it works that way! Are you an idiot?! I’m a higher, BETTER, version of you! If you destroy me, you’d FOREVER stay the weak, insignificant, useless-“ Nozomi made a hammer and smashed through the shadow’s mouth. The shadow’s eyes widened in shock and fear, and it finally tried to break free.

All my senses had become sharper. One moment I was standing in the room, my fists clenched. The next my body convulsed, muscles snapping and stretching. Shadow took control and growled with rage as the momories came crashing down on him. When I opened my eyes the world looked different. “We’re going to her,” Shadow growled “You can’t just—” I started. “Watch me.” Shadow was in control now and I was just along for the ride. The sun was still low on the horizon when Shadow’s powerful strides brought us to the edge of the clearing.

I saw red. The enormous shadow throws himself at us as dark claws come out of it to grab us. At that moment, something snapped inside of me. Ultimate strength was running and filling my veins while I let Lua take partial control of our body. Before the darkness could touch me, my fist went through it, causing it to stagger backward. Whatever that was running inside of me was getting stronger but I felt lighter than ever. “You indeed became stronger but you won’t stop us.” The shadow said. I shot a glance towards my mother to see how she’s keeping up but she’s looking at me shocked but I couldn’t distract myself from the shadow for too long.

I snatched a doily off of the side table and tried to wrap my arm but it soaked with blood instantly. Hashem was slowly getting to his feet and I turned to face him. “You are a traitor and you will die a coward’s death,” I said, in a whisper but loud enough for him to hear. I reached for my shard as he lunged toward me with a piece of glass. I was just barely able to move and he tried again to swipe at me, this time he connected and got my side. FUCK! I was going to pass out soon, it was too much. Blood, there was blood everywhere. The yelling, the voices and the footsteps were everywhere now, close and I heard the voices yelling in English.

***Trigger Warning: Margie, Steila, and Stephanie are disgusting, horrible she-wolves. The next few chapters will prove just how sick and twisted they really are. Almost every type of loss and abuse that you can imagine will be involved. If that kind of thing bothers you, I am very sorry! There are many happy moments and happy endings coming, but first we have to get through some really, really ugly stuff. Please be prepared.*** (James POV)

Stripping off my clothes, I left them and my bag under a redwood tree, then I let Rose take over. "Let's run to our heart's content! Then we'll take a bath in the river," I said to her. Under the luminous gaze of the full moon, I felt an irresistible force surging through my being. My heart quickened with anticipation. Closing my eyes, I focused on the power within, embracing the ancient magic that coursed through my veins. It began with a tingling sensation, like a thousand tiny needles tracing patterns across my skin. My bones shifted, and a rush of euphoria washed over me as my human form started to contort.

​For the first time in weeks, the golden morning light felt soft against my skin rather than cold and threatening. Sitting beneath the ancient jasmine tree in the school courtyard, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, inhaling the sweet, heady scent of white blossoms drifting in the crisp autumn breeze. ​Beside me, Mateo leaned back against the gnarled wooden trunk, flipping through a heavy leather-bound poetry book. His dark hair fell loosely across his forehead, and his expression was completely relaxed. In the quiet warmth of the afternoon, the terrifying shadows of the basement, the strange black envelopes, and Gabriel’s cold warnings felt like nothing more than a bad dream I had fin

Pretending exhaustion, I dropped my guard for a crucial second. He took the bait and lunged. I spun inside his reach and drove my palm into his chest, releasing a concentrated burst of Shadowborn magic directly into his heart. Not enough to stop it. Just enough to make it stutter. He collapsed, gasping. The three I had knocked back initially were recovering. One shifted into wolf form and charged. I met him with a wall of silver flames. He hit it and yelped, backing away.

“Do not fight them alone. Let us stand as one. Our bond is stronger than their illusions.” Aria took a deep breath. The silver energy in her veins surged, resonating with the Moon. She extended her hands, drawing the shadows toward her, not in fear but in command. The twisted figure paused, its form trembling under the intensity of her light. “You are memories, not reality,” she said firmly. “I am the child of the Moon, and I stand here with my family.” The shadow screamed, a sound that rattled the cavern. It split into dozens of smaller figures, each representing doubt, guilt, and fear. They lunged at her, swirling around Liam, around Kael, attempting to pierce their minds.

031 The world outside the car was a blur of dark trees and silver moonlight, but inside, the silence was heavy enough to choke. Rebecca leaned her head against the cold glass of the window, her breath coming in short, jagged hitches. The Moonblight Serum was a cruel passenger in her blood, turning her thoughts into frayed threads that refused to weave together. And every time she tried to remember the path they were taking, the image dissolved into a smear of grey.
