Anaya’s P.O.V:
Black.
That was all I saw no matter where I turned; no matter how many times I blinked my eyes. It was as if I had been shoved into a room that had all the lights switched off. Except, this wasn’t a closed room. It was open space, open enough that I could feel an icy wind blowing against my skin. It’s said that when you lose one of your senses, all the others become heightened, but they couldn’t be more wrong.
Other than the chill in the air, all I could feel was panic. Where was I? Why couldn’t I see? Was this really Shadowland?
The great thing about Shadowland is that no one, mortal or immortal, has ever come out of it, alive or dead.
Melinda’s voice rang in my ears and with it came a sense of hopelessness like I’ve never felt before. I felt tears stream down my cheeks as I swung my hands around wildly, trying

But, how is this even possible?”“Let’s not get into any details for now, Hanshaw.” I smiled politely at the older man. “Lance is better now, that’s all that matters. But, thank you for all your help.”“It’s my duty, Your Highness.” Hanshaw bowed his head before was on his way out of Lance’s room.We were currently at Sanctium, a dimension that was inhabited my all supernatural creatures.

Chapter 35: The Final DecisionAnaya’s P.O.V:“Anna?”I lifted my lashes to watch Lance enter the room. His face was set in a frown causing lines to appear on his forehead. Even so, he looked stunning. Black jeans and a blue t-shirt with long sleeves, it threw the gold of his eyes into sharp focus. His hair fell messily on his forehead, indicating that he had been running his hands through them a lot.“Hey…” I whispered, too tired to sit up.Lance crossed the distance from the doorway to our bed in a few long strides. He sat beside me and took my hand in his, his long fingers wrapping around my wrist to measure my pulse. “How are you feeling? Your pulse seems stronger.”“Better. I should’ve called, I’m sorry. You came back early for me.” The sun was still shining, which means he couldn’t have been gone that long. And with the pres

Lance however, was already on the floor, clutching his stomach and laughing his ass off.“I just wanted to see if you were immune to Holy water…” Mary said innocently.“And what if I wasn’t?” I glared at her through dripping eyelashes.“Well, it was only 2% Holy water, so I’m pretty sure you were fine.” She offered.“Are you fucking kidding me!” I yelled and it just made everyone laugh that much harder. “

Chapter 1: New SecretaryLancelot's P.O.V:"Y-you're not s-staying...?" She asked, voice breathless, eyes already closing.I pulled up my pants, buckled up and fixed the few wrinkles in my shirt that were caused when the woman had tried to discard it. Too bad, I wasn’t into getting naked when it came to a quick fix."No." I answered curtly, running a hand through my black hair to neat it out as much as possible. I hate it when women mess it up. They think it pleases me. I hate it. As much as I hate staying the night with them. I never do.When I was done adjusting myself, I bent down over her naked body and pulled the sheets over to cover her. Then I leaned in to whisper in her ear."Forget about who you slept with. You had a one-night stand with a stranger. You liked it but it wouldn't turn permanent so you sent him away. That's all you'll remember."One thing I could never do was make

I groaned from under my blanket. Soon found it flying off of me to land on the floor."Say that to your new boss." Mom put her hands on her hips to emphasize her point."Mooooom! Why did you remove my blanket? I'm not five!" I whined, the cold morning air making me shiver as goose bumps danced on my skin, but being the stubborn, lazy person that I am, I simply stayed put."Yes, you're not. You're 25 and you know very well that it takes over an hour to reach your new office!" She said sternly. "Up. Now!""I'm

Chapter 3: A Rough DayAnaya's P.O.V:Three hours later, I was cursing every known God on the planet for the ungodly existence of the being called Lancelot Eustis.Not only was the guy rude and arrogant, bastard was also a sadist. He'd given me work alright, and I wasn't complaining about it at all, but he purposely kept calling me out to do meaningless chores so I get delayed from the actual work at hand. For example, I'd been working on compiling data in a recent merger Reefwood had undergone with Glasgow Internationals, but he constantly kept calling me in his cabin to fetch files for him which simply kept piling up on his desk. Not to mention that the files he asked for were kept in places too difficult to find."Ms. Johnson."And there we go again.I gathered the Glasgow files in my hand as soon as the printer released the final page; stapled them together and put the whole thing into a file and took it

Chapter 4: A Blast from the PastAnaya's P.O.V:Trevina McKinley lived in the complete opposite direction to Reefwood HQ and at a distance of nearly 2 hours from my house. So once again, I had to get up at 4 in the morning despite having reached home at 12.30am, dress within seconds and have breakfast on the bus, reach Ms. McKinley's office by 8.30am, only to find out that I'd have to wait till 10.30 to meet her. Apparently, she isn't a morning person.Disappointed and a bit furious at myself for not having researched her better, or at least called her office, I decided to wait two hours and try my hardest to stay awake by the end of it. Then again, why hadn't I researched her properly? It's very unlike me. I always stay prepared for all kinds of circumstances. Oh, yeah! Guess I was busy loathing Mr. Manwhore Eustis who had happily dumped all his shit on me and then gone his merry way banging some poor woman who doesn't even kno

Chapter 31: Into the Black HoleAnaya’s P.O.V:Everything happened in an eerily slow motion.I watched Lance fall to the floor on his knees in front of me. My father let go of the sword he was holding and backed up, just as shocked as everyone was all around us. The sword was stuck a few inches below Lance’s shoulder, almost halfway down to his chest. For a few agonizing seconds, nothing happened, and then…I watched his shoulder tear in half, blood vessels and nerves snapping in half and his arm sagged to one side as blood erupted from the torn part of his body.“Lance!” Several people screamed at once, but I saw his body start to fall to the floor. I don’t know how I unfroze myself, but I was reaching for Lance before I knew it.I was able to grab on to Lance’s uninjured hand, but then Melinda was there beside me, holding Lance upright and pulling the sword out of his wou

Chapter 30: Inevitable Anaya’s P.O.V:“Daddy?” It was barely a whisper.Just like I’d seen him in the changing room, he looked older, ten years older. His once brown hair was now filled with grey highlights and his skin was wrinkled near his eyes, his mouth and his forehead. But his eyes were still the same green orbs. Except, there was no emotion in them at all. It was like looking into the eyes of a dead man.That glint in his eyes was enough to tell me that he was no longer the father I knew and loved. He was no longer the man who kissed my mother goodbye when he went out for work. He was no longer the father who’d taught me to dance while standing on his feet in the middle of the living room. No, instead he now stood in front of me with a sword in each hand, ready to fight the person that I had fallen in love with.“You’re breaking protocol, hunter.” Lance’

Chapter 29: The EventAnaya’s P.O.V:I had already known that Lance would look breathtaking today; after all, it was his party. But no matter how prepared I’d thought I was for full impact, it was nothing compared to the real impact I got when he entered the room.He was wearing all black, from jacket to pants to shirt and even shoes; the only prominent feature that stood out was his pure gold tie and his topaz eyes. His hair was gelled back to give a sleek look and it brought attention to his square jaw and sharp nose. I’m not really a fan of men with gelled back hair but on Lance, it looked pure heavenly.“Wow!” We both said at the same time.He shook his head. “There’s nothing special about me, Anna. But tonight, every woman in the part will be jealous of you.”Rather than pleasing, that compliment was rather horrifying. “I don’t want to stand ou

Chapter 28: TransformationAnaya’s P.O.V:“Did you find anything?” I asked hesitantly the next morning as Lance stood in front of a large rack of suits in varying colors.“We found the woman who’d held me up, but no sign of your father.” Lance told me. “We’re trying our best to find something, but it seems like the work of a professional. No DNA traces, no fingerprints, nothing. If it weren’t for the footprints on the floor, we’d have thought there wasn’t anyone there at all.”“I see…”Honestly, I was confused as fuck. Why was my father surfacing after ten whole years? If he was alive, why didn’t he come back? Is he associating with the mafia or something?“Come to think about it, the only people I’ve seen to be that clean about something are hunters.” Lance muttered to himself, almost like an a
