SHADOWED SALVATION CHAPTER FOURTEEN: THE HISTORY OF THE LYCANTHROPY DRAGONS.
MELONIE'S POV:I frantically scanned the shelves, my eyes racing over the spines of the books I had been searching for what felt like an eternity, and I was starting to lose hope.I was searching for answers about my kind. About the creatures of the night, with skin that shifted and eyes that glowed. About the beings with the power to transform, to run with the wolves and soar with the dragons.I was desperate to learn more about my true nature.I pulled down book after book, scanning the pages for any mention of my kind. I read about vampires and werewolves, about shapeshifters and demons. But none of it seemed quite right.I was getting desperate. I felt like I was running out of time like I needed to find the answers I was looking for before it was too late.I moved to the restricted section of the library, the part that was hidden away from prying eyes. I had heard rumours of a book that was hidden here, a book that held the secrets of my kind.I searched the shelves, my heart pou

MELONIE'S POV:As I gazed into his eyes, I felt my entire being melt into a sea of adoration. Every fibre of my existence seemed to vibrate with an intense, all-consuming love.I see why I feel connected to him, he saved me and is still keeping me.Time stood still as I stared, the world around us fading into insignificance. Nothing else mattered, nothing else existed. Only him. His precious soul was worthy of my attention.My heart swelled with emotion, threatening to burst free from my chest. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of devotion, unable to breathe or think. All I could do was feel, and what I felt was an overwhelming, soul-crushing love.As I gazed deeper into his eyes, I saw my own reflection staring back at me. I saw the hopes, the dreams, the fears, and the desires that we shared.“My family is the oldest record-breaking Lycanthropic dragon in the realm, I existed before your mother. My mother warned me about keeping you all to myself, but I just couldn't endure the pa

MELONIE'S POV:Arwan and I rushed towards others in an attempt to be together when other dark walkers swam in but instead, we found them sited in the worst lifeless and heartbroken way possible.“Where are they?” Arwan asked, looking around.Arlo's gaze went up to meet him, “They left! Ran off… we need to come up with a better plan, or we will all die here.”“If they ran away…” I butted in, “doesn't that mean we won? We scared them away — right?”“I don't think so,” Clara argued. I think they are being very strategic. They came to observe something, to return even more prepared.”“We have lost a lot of people already,” Arlo cried out, covering his face with his palms.Arwan stepped forward “C'mon, let's go.”We walked back into our building as sobs and wails echoed through the walls of the realm.Everywhere was painted with blood and everyone seemed to have lost one person or the other.“I don't like this,” I murmured in tragedy.Arwan softly looked at me, “Nobody does. Let's focus on
Last Updated : 2024-12-08SHADOWED SALVATION CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: AM I GOING TO DIE TODAY?
🥀MELONIE'S POV🥀I took a deep breath, feeling a surge of determination coursing through my veins."I'll do it," I said, my voice firm. "I'll face my fears, no matter what."For the first time, I felt like I could do it. I felt like I could overcome anything.“That's my girl,” Arwan stated, a smile spreading across his face.My eyes turned curious, “Are you saying — you like me?” Arwan chuckled, and I was forced to smile. Seeing him chuckle was the best achievement, and it made me feel like I should put myself in trouble again and again.He cupped my face with his palms, smiling warmly, “I'll tell you when this fight is settled.”“Okay,” I replied immediately, returning his smile.Night fell, and people of the realm were locked in a building while Arwan, Arlo and Clara stayed hidden in their arranged position, each of them stayed ready to lock and secure the door to the building.I stood there, awaiting the figure of dark walkers but none appeared. Not even one of the thousands I wa

🥀MELONIE'S POV🥀He kept mute and stood up with me in his arms, carrying me like a princess to my room.I tugged at his neck, “You are not saying anything Arwan. Am I allowed to want you?”“Melonie take some rest,” Arwan whispers, “Let's talk tomorrow.”I shook my head in refusal, “I'm too curious to wait until tomorrow. You said you would tell me after the fight, it's over now Arwan and we won.”A warm smile spread across his face, “When did you become so obsessed?” “The first time we met,” I blurted out without thinking about it.He stared at me with raised brows, “You hated me the first time we met.”“That's because you dragged me out of my world to this place…” I growled, “Okay, maybe the second time.”“Do you regret it?” He suddenly asked, his eyes piercing my body.I stared at him inquiringly, “What?” “Being dragged here,” he pushed on.“I did — but not anymore,” I responded with a smile.His eyes went from my eyes to my lips and then my eyes again, “Why?”“Because you are in

🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀Arlo smiled and walked past me, “Where are you going?”Without looking back, he responded, “Bruno and the others came with a witch, so I'm going to pay her a visit.”“A witch?” I reasoned out. “I'm coming with you.”“Why? Did Arwan stop you from lurking around him?” Arlo asked and scoffed.I pouted dramatically, “What's the need, he doesn't like me. I'd rather be with you right now.”He stopped and stared at me, “What makes you think I like you?”I giggled out loud, “You have always liked me since we were a child. You can't even hide it.”“I see,” Arlo grinned, “Let's go.”We walked into a prison cell, where the witch was strictly confined with chains and locks.I stared at her, and a memory flashed in my mind.“I know her,” I blurted out, “She helped me accept myself when I first got here. She told me who I was and who my parents were.”Arlo gawked at me in shock, “But that is impossible.”“Well, it did happen,” I calmly responded, “Can you give us some time to ta

🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀It was hours since I last saw Melonie and I was starting to get worried.“Did she get too jealous and run away?” I muttered, doubtfully.I ran towards her room, but it was empty, my heart began to rise and fall in panic and suddenly, Arlo ran towards me, “Melonie is missing,” he announced, “She disappeared with the witch.”My ears stretched, “What! How can you be so careless?” I yelled angrily, “Get everyone here.”Soon, Arlo came back along with Bruno, Othello, Clara and Lavanya.“What's going on?” Bruno asked curiously.“The dragon wolf is missing,” I blurted out firmly.Everyone stared at me, “How did that happen?” Clara yelled out worriedly.“She disappeared alongside the witch,” Arlo responded.“So what are we doing here?” Clara growled, “My friend is missing and we are still here?”“We need to calm down and understand the situation first,” Lavanya interrupted.Clara snapped back at her, “Understand what? Let's start searching for Melonie immediately.”“I think

🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀My transformation was calmly activated, and I felt even better and stronger, probably because of the kiss. Does he know? Is he aware he is my activator?I stared at those who came along with Arwan, they looked stunned, especially Arlo, he looked lifeless and pale.“Let's go,” Arwan stated softly, pulling my hand.“No,” I responded in refusal, “there's something I want to do.”“The witch ran away, and you already killed the werewolf,” Arwan announced. “What else do you want to do?”“You can come out now,” I yelled into the void, and the young girl walked out.Her tiny voice rang out, “What happened to Mama?”I shook my head, “She's not your mama alright, that's a wicked witch trying to make you a weapon. You cannot be like her.”She nodded in understanding, “My name is Gemma. I won't be like her. Can I go with you?”I stared at Arwan, waiting for answers and he nodded. I smiled, “Yes, you can come with me.”She jumped in excitement, “So you will be my mama now?”I l

SHADOWED SALVATION CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: BRUNO AND OTHELLO.
🥀 OTHELLO'S POV 🥀We walked into our room with a very awkward atmosphere. Bruno had glanced at me coldly earlier when Clara announced that I was gay; is he that irritated? To think that the person I like is irritated that I'm gay, confessing is definitely a no. It would only make things even more awkward, and I'd only get hurt from disappointment and high expectations.Silence descended. We both lay at each edge of the bed, breathing slowly, and I desperately avoided his gaze.I felt ashamed and stupid, “Clara… that witch.Uncomfortable, I stood up abruptly, “I'll use the floor,” I announced, picking myself from the bed.Bruno dragged me back, and I landed on his bare chest, one hand firmly pulled me to himself and the other hand patted my hair to sleep.“I'm struggling to breathe in this position,” I became tongue-tied.He didn't let me go, instead, he pulled me even closer, “Why?” He muttered, “Because you like me so much and your heart is threatening to burst?”Mesmerised, I forc
SHADOWED SALVATION CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: BROKEN.
🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀I stood in stunned silence, my mind reeling from what I had just seen. The empty, destroyed surroundings seemed to fade away, leaving only the stark, harsh reality of the calamity that had befallen us.They are all dead, hundreds and thousands of people are dead and burnt, some had no heart, Melonie had dug them out, some faces had been burnt, and I could barely recognise them.Adults and children were murdered in cold blood.My breath was knocked out of me. My thoughts were a jumbled mess, unable to process the enormity of the scene that had just played out.“That was my Melonie – right?" I whispered; my voice barely audible.The words echoed in my mind, refusing to sink in. It was as if I was trapped in a nightmare, unable to wake up from the horror that was unfolding before me.I hit my chest in accumulated pain, as though my heart was threatening to discharge violently.Othello walked closer, pulling my arm to attract my attention, “Arwan you are trembling.”I tr
SHADOWED SALVATION CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: MY BIGGEST FEAR.
🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀I woke up to an empty silence. The buildings outside mine were bustling with life, but a hollow echo was in my heart. It was as if a part of me was missing, a piece I couldn't quite grasp.I went about my day, trying to shake off the feeling. I dressed, ate breakfast, and headed out to meet friends. But no matter what I did, the sensation lingered. It was like a gentle hum in the background, a reminder that something was off.I tried to fill the void with distractions. I strolled through the realm, talked to people, and read books. But nothing seemed to fill the gap. It was as if I was searching for a puzzle piece that didn't exist.As the day wore on, the feeling grew stronger. It was like a whisper in my ear, reminding me of what was missing. I couldn't shake the sense that I was incomplete, that a part of me was wandering around, lost and alone.I looked around me, wondering if anyone else felt the same way. Did they too feel like they were missing a piece of them
SHADOWED SALVATION CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: THE TASTE OF BLOOD.
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀In one instance, I was surrounded by Apex predators, I attempted to attack, to burn them all, including the bastard that called himself my father. Why is it that the fathers always have problems? My proclaimed father stood there, gawking at me with a satisfied face, “You can't fight back now, by the time you will be able to activate on your own… you won't even remember the man you claim to love.”“What are you waiting for? Kill me now. I heard you want me dead,” I roared fearlessly.He shook his head and smiled, “No Melonie, you and the people around you misunderstood. They misled you and made you believe that I wanted you dead. And I shall punish them for misleading my daughter. I only wanted the best for you.”“Don't you dare lay a finger on them,” I growled back.“I won't – you will. You will destroy the place you call home with your own hands.” He declared with a satisfied laugh.My eyes were filled with disgust, “There’s nothing you would do that would make m
SHADOWED SALVATION CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR: HORROR SURFACING.
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀Everyone gawked at me with a serious face, “Did you have a dream?” Bruno asked.“No,” I lied, “Not really… I just got paranoid.”“It's important you tell us if you do Melonie,” Othello advised, “So we can think ahead.”“I really didn't,” I whispered, “What was that noise about?” I asked, gawking at Arwan.“I looked it up,” Arwan announced, “It was an angel crying for help. This is very rare; I'm privileged to experience it once all my life.”“Who the heck would have done this?” Bruno murmured. "For an angel to cry for help, it's something very serious."“An angel was locked and is desperately crying for help,” Arwan stated, “Angels seem to be connected to you Melonie.”“Why?” I asked curiously.“Because you are pure,” Arlo responded calmly.“If an Angel is crying to me for help, Doesn’t that mean I'm supposed to help?” I reasoned out.“Perhaps,” Othello said shortly.“Then why did it affect you?” I asked, ogling at Arwan. “I saw you fall to the ground and covered y
SHADOWED SALVATION CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: TELL ME YOU LIKE ME.
🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀Sometimes all you need is a little love, I stared at Melonie as she happily bounced into the garden with every confidence she's got.“Arwan likes me! He said he likes me! He likes me! He's mine now! Doesn't this mean we are in a relationship now? Who's Lavanya? He's all mine!” she thought, grinning.I chuckled, it was childish and cute, if only she knew I heard her thoughts.She ran towards me, “Arwan,” she called out, with red cheeks.“Hmm,” I responded, smiling back.“You said you liked me yesterday,” she said, “Is it true?”A chortle escaped my lips, “Yes,” I murmured.“Okay… say it,” she pushed.“I love you, Melonie,” I whispered.“Louder, I can't hear you,” she retorted, holding her ears.“I love you Melonie Aeron,” I yelled out.Arlo gawked at us, rolled his eyes and walked away, Lavanya also followed, pouting.“Then kiss me,” Melonie blurted out.I snapped at her, “huh?”“Hurry,” she yelled with a frown.“Okay… look away!” I pleaded, “It's getting embarrassing
SHADOWED SALVATION CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: SPIRIT OF JEALOUSY.
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀As I watched Lavanya laugh and chat with ease with Arwan, a pang of jealousy shot through my chest. It was a feeling I wasn't proud of, but couldn't seem to shake it off.She was everything I wanted to be - confident, charismatic, and carefree. Her smile could light up a room, and her presence seemed to draw people to her like a magnet.I, on the other hand, felt like I was stuck in the shadows. I was always the one observing from the sidelines, never quite sure how to insert myself into the conversation.I walked towards Arwan, staring at Lavanya who stood beside Arwan clutching at his arm in the most threatening way possible.I parted my lips, “Where did you go with her?”My gaze fell on his lips, and memories of what happened in the witch's realm flooded back in.I shook my head, in an attempt to deactivate that feeling.“I simply went to inspect the building with Lavanya,” Arwan responded calmly, walking past me.I pulled him back, “We need to talk, Arwan.”“Ok
