All Chapters of Love Amongst The Shadows: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

"Tate she wasn't even serious with you. She didn't use her shadows once on you. I promise you she's stronger than what she just showed you." Everett laid it out plainly for Tate. Everett then turned to the crowd. "Tate is still the strongest, under me, in this pack. Do not make the mistake of thinking he isn't. It just so happens this woman here is on another level than most. She did beat 3 alphas within 10 minutes." If he didn't address the pack they would believe Tate to be weak. That's not a good thing as it could throw things off balance for them. The pack all looked at me in disbelief. "Alpha, there's no way." One of them retorted. He was tall and lanky, and lacked muscles of any sort."Zerena." He motioned for me to show them an example of my power and I smiled. I used my new strength and training to control all the shadows in the room at once. I contorted everyone's shadows to wrap around their bodies, snaking up and around their necks. No one could move as I began to squeez

Kellan sat back down, looking at me all kinds of confused. He furrowed his brows meeting my eyes with his electric blue ones. He had very beautiful eyes, but I could never stare at them for long. Sirens hold most of their power in their eyes, and their songs. Stare in his eyes too long and he could snare me in his siren spell. "Do you remember the pearl mission? The one Emerson got in trouble for?" They all nodded, and I realized that the only person that knows about Kiran is Percy. I'm sharing my truth to them all right now. "Do you remember the gas station we went to after?" "Yeah, the one we got shot in." Tally added."Yeah that one." "Yeah I remember." Kellan said, uncertain where I was going with this. "Do you remember the guy behind the register?""Not really, didn't he run away?" Kellan's brows were so furrowed they were almost meeting in the center of his face. "He didn't run away, I hid him. He's my intertwined, my destined one, my mate. Whatever you want to call it he'

Zerena's P.O.V."I fu.cking knew it! Look right here." I held the phone to Everett's face, showing him the picture of the file I was reading. "Once he saw how the healing ability affected each of us, he injected himself with it. He logs his healing process here. It seems he heals better than even I. That son of b*tch. He not only injects himself with things that have worked from his experiments, making them even better before giving it to himself." I let my forehead hit the table in frustration, rolling it against the polished cold wood. So I can't kill him, but perhaps I can decommission him the way he threatens to do to us. I'd love to keep his head in a jar and let him watch me live a happy life without his cruelty. "We expected that. We hoped that wasn't the case, but we expected it. We'll just imprison him. We can hand him off to the council or even the shadow weaver infantry you told us about." Everett tried to comfort me. "No, I don't really trust those elders. I plan on bur

"What is that?" Tally asked, pointing to my hand where the mark laid. "Did you get a tattoo?" "No, it's not a tattoo. It's how shadow weavers mark their intertwined. I saw Kiran this evening and after some shi.t went down, I marked him." I wasn't going to get into details with them. They didn't need to know everything. "That's really amazing, Zerena." Emerson smiled warmly at me. I think he really was happy for me. "Emerson, we need to tell you something." I looked at Percy and he nodded, finally giving me the okay. "You were sold by bounty seekers to Alester. They took you from your family and it took your brother years to figure out where you were. He's been trying to get to you for the past 10 years." I started. Emerson's face mixed with a million emotions, serious, sad, shocked, paled, hardened. His expressions changed all at once; it was hard to keep up. "Who is my brother?" He clutched onto the table so hard it started to crack under his grip. "Alpha Everett." Percy answer

"Welcome back." Kiran whispered, before kissing me so passionately, I was melting in his arms. I moaned into those plump lips of his as his tongue lightly licked my lower lip. "Glad to be back." I told him through a smile. All the anger I was feeling before I got here, dissipated into the air. "Kiran what's going on with your body? It's like you bulked up overnight?" I asked him, squeezing his now very large biceps and running my hands down his very chiseled pecs. "I am not sure. Since I emerged from the ashes of my Phoenix, my muscles have been growing. I think it finally stopped like an hour ago. We figure it's a phoenix thing, but there's no way to really know. You like it?" He arched his brow with a sexy smirk. "I liked it before and I like it now. Doesn't matter to me." I ran my hands over his now very defined abs. I bit my lip, actually really liking the way he looks now. "Although maybe I need to see you fully naked to really make a decision." I joked, wiggling my eyebrows s
