Chapter 105 Shadow

• Seconds before Melissa caused an explosion that sent everything backwards, Richard felt that power from her. He didn't know if it was because of their connections as mates but Richard realized that her wolf and his wolf were opposite sides of the same coin. He wasn't as capable as she was, but his ability to use darkness had always been something that helped him hide and shielded him. But her powers, it made her present, noticeable.
• That moment enlightened him of what he should be and what he was, he wasn't her protector, not necessarily as he would realize now. Melissa doesn't need protection. He was her shadow, the man that would pave the way for her without anyone realizing it. The man who would always be by her side silent and unnoticed because, does one really ever regard a shadow.
• This realization seemed to connect him with his wolf the more and he knew within him that at that moment he'd grown stronger. Even though he'd been given a dose of quicksilver this newfound strength seemed to have made him invulnerable to the present amount in his system as he felt power surging through him. He breathed a new air as this wave of realization hit him and braced himself for what was to come.
