All Chapters of SHADOWED SALVATION: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

MELONIE'S POV:We all froze, and everyone seemed lost in their own agony. “Should we all be saying our last prayers?” Clara asked out of nowhere, with a bitter face.Arlo also looked devastated, “Melonie do something.”“What exactly can I do? Jump in front of those things and get snapped in two? Gosh, you all never loved me,” I retorted firmly.My gaze fell on Arwan. Although everyone was scared, he seemed to be deep in thought, trying to come up with a solution. “I'll lead them away from the building,” Arwan blurted out.“That's ridiculous,” I spat back, “No Arwan. That's a terrible idea! You can't do that.”“I have less of a choice right now,” he defended, “That door will not hold, a lot of people will die. Our realm will be wiped and emptied, never to be remembered.”“THOSE DEADLY THINGS WILL KILL YOU!” I yelled out in panic, “They are not one or two; there are a lot out there, waiting to tear us apart like over boiled chickens.”Arwan took steps closer to me, “I know Melonie, but

MELONIE'S POV:Everyone was focused on training, but I was focused on Arwan, since seriousness has decided to forsake me, I should use it on something I enjoy doing.Arwan stretched his hand towards me, “Come here, Melonie.”I ran forward immediately, awaiting the training and results of the day.Clara also ran towards us, “Hey guys, I'll be training with you,” she stated and I smiled warmly at her, noticing the distance between us.“Clara… is something wrong?” I asked reluctantly.Her warm smile disappeared, “C'mon — nothing is wrong. It's just…”I turned towards her with a serious face, “It's just…” I encouraged her to keep talking.“Melonie, I saw you transform yesterday,” she explained. “I have never seen such a powerful creature in my life. You — you were fully transformed into something that never existed.”“Right, so you are even more scared of me now?” I asked bitterly, “C'mon I'd literally protect you rather than hurt you.”“I know Melonie… I just got goosebumps,” Clara state

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🥀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 🥀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
