Shadows Stories

"The weak don't survive here." At Arclight Academy, your worth is measured by the creature you bond with. For Serenya Vale, a scholarship student born with a chronic, progressive illness, surviving the brutal training seems impossible. She expects to fail. She expects to die. What she doesn't expect is Kairen Draxen. Lethal, silent, and wrapped in living darkness, Kairen is the only rider in centuries to bond with a shadow dragon. To survive his bond, he had to stop feeling entirely, turning himself into a cold, unyielding void. No one can break his control. Until Serenya walks through the iron gates. Suddenly, Kairen's shadows are acting on their own-escaping his command to pool at Serenya's feet and ease her pain. As the lethal academy trials begin, the two are forced into an impossible proximity. Bound by a cosmic soul connection that demands his darkness surrender to her light, Kairen is terrified of losing control, and Serenya is just trying to stay alive. Featuring: > 🖤 Hurt/Comfort & Underdog Heroine 🖤 Grumpy x Sunshine (Dark Romantasy edition) 🖤 "Touch her and you die" energy 🖤 Forced Proximity & Fated Soulbonds

In this world, every person is born with a Shadow-a visible soul that exists separately from the body. Taking the form of an animal, Shadows think, speak, and feel independently while remaining deeply connected to their human counterpart. Though they can disagree, argue, and develop their own personalities, a Shadow and their person share the same life force, forever bound together by a connection that cannot be broken. When Reiven awakens alone in a forest with bloodied hands, missing memories, and only their Shadow, Charlemagne, at their side, they have no idea who they are or what happened to them. Fragments of the past haunt them like ghosts, appearing in flashes that refuse to form a complete picture. As Reiven searches for answers, they begin uncovering memories long buried-memories of people they once knew, places they once called home, and events someone desperately wanted forgotten. Among those memories lies a darker mystery. For years, children from Grey Hold have vanished under strange and unexplained circumstances. Families have mourned, rumours have spread, and official explanations have never quite satisfied those left behind. What began as isolated disappearances slowly formed a pattern hidden beneath decades of silence. The deeper Reiven delves into their lost past, the closer they come to uncovering the truth behind the missing children, the secrets concealed within Grey Hold, and the reason their own memories were taken in the first place. Some memories were lost. Others were hidden. And some were never meant to be found at all.

She has no past. No wolf. No scent. And now-no choice. When a young seemingly alpha wolf is found unconscious at the edge of Boronduin territory, the pack knows something is deeply wrong. Pursued by savage wolves, shifted into wolf form far too early, the girl remembers nothing of who she is or where she came from-only that she's drawn to the silent forest that seals off the rest of Erisdar Valley, where no one dares to go. Years later, Alexandra-now the adopted daughter of the Alpha pair-is the only remaining heir after their son mysteriously vanished near the wall of trees in the feared Erisdar forest. But without a wolf of her own, she is not an elligible heir, to her relief. When a foreign pack arrives with a mate claim designed to seize her hand-and through it, her homeland-Alex senses a deeper plot at play. Her parents, strangely unlike themselves, refuse to listen. Controlled by magic she cannot yet break, they leave her with only one option: remove the key to the enemies plot - herself. But as she makes her desperate bid for freedom, she is intercepted-first by those who would control her, then by something far more dangerous. From the shadows of the ancient forest, a dark legend comes to life: a silent beast cloaked in mystery, known only in whispers and fear. When her friends are struck down trying to protect her, Alex does the unthinkable-she surrenders to the creature to save them. Taken beyond the valley and into unknown lands, Alex finds herself deep in enemy territory where myths breathe, shadows speak, and truths long buried begin to rise. As she uncovers secrets about the forest, the beast who took her, and even herself, something ancient stirs within her-something powerful and long-silenced. But peace cannot last. Her forgotten past is catching up to her-and with it, a destiny that could shape the fate of her beloved valley, her pack, and her new family.
