Born Of Two Worlds
Short stories Lila Morgan is just another barista in a bustling city-at least, that's what she wants the world to believe. But shadows don't lie. And Lila? She's Shadowborn-able to command darkness with a will she barely understands and can no longer control.
When a mysterious man with eyes like obsidian walks into her café, the fragile life Lila built begins to unravel. The Council, a secretive force that governs the supernatural world, has found her. Their message is clear: return to Blackthorn Manor, the home she fled years ago, or face the deadly consequences.
As assassins close in and her powers grow dangerously unstable, Lila is pulled into a rebellion she never asked to join. With allies like Ethan, a gruff hunter with a haunted past, and Maya, a human hacker with a gift for breaking the rules, she must decide: run again-or fight back and embrace what she truly is.
But being born of two worlds means choosing one... or being destroyed by both. You might like
I Designed His Dream House, He Built a Secret Family
Xi Jin I was in a high-end mall, browsing a toy store for my friend's daughter's birthday, when my world tilted on its axis. Through the polished glass storefront, I saw him. My husband, Julian. He was in the café opposite, seated beside the sprawling indoor children's play area. He wasn't alone.
A woman, Seraphina Vance—a social media influencer whose perfectly curated life I’d occasionally scrolled past—was laughing, her head tilted just so. And between them, a little boy of about four, gleefully mashing a piece of cake into his own dark hair. Julian’s hair.
They looked like a family. A perfect, happy family.
An icy dread washed over me. I remembered Julian refusing to have a baby with me, citing the immense pressure of his work. All his business trips, the late nights… were they spent with them? I recalled a night six months ago when Noah had supposedly been sick. Julian had stayed out all night, his voice strained over the phone, telling me a "critical client had a medical emergency." The lie was so easy for him.
I must have stared too long. The little boy, Noah, noticed me. He picked up a toy water pistol from their table, aimed it directly at me through the café’s open front, and squeezed the trigger. A jet of cold water hit my silk skirt, leaving a dark, spreading stain.
Seraphina Vance turned, her eyes meeting mine. There was no surprise, only a flicker of amusement. She offered a saccharine smile. "Oh, dear. He's just playing with you," she cooed, her voice dripping with condescension.
My heart hammered against my ribs. I turned and walked away, my legs unsteady. I needed to leave, to breathe, to think. In the underground parking garage, I fumbled for my keys, my hands shaking. As I passed Julian’s sleek sedan, something on the passenger seat caught my eye. A heavy, cream-colored card with embossed lettering.
"You are joyfully invited to the Christening of Noah Thorne."
It was real. More real than a fleeting email. A physical invitation to a life I never knew existed. How could I have been so blind?
My phone felt heavy in my hand. I didn’t call my best friend. I didn’t call a lawyer. I called the director of the Zurich Architectural Fellowship, a prestigious program I had deferred for him, for us.
"I'd like to accept the fellowship," I said, my voice eerily calm. "I can leave immediately." Mr. Ceo & I
