Black Sword Alliance Novels & Stories

No one came near me. They were waiting to see what this would turn into. I wiped my blade clean and slid it back into its sheath.The air smelled of pine and iron, sharp and thick. I heard footsteps behind me and knew who it was before he stopped at my side. “They pulled back without pushing the line,” Kaelor said. “That wasn’t instinct. Someone directed them.” “Yes.” “The Guild will know about this by morning.” “That’s what he wants.” His attention stayed on the forest. “If they call this cross-border aggression, they can step in.”

“It was all very rushed and kept hushed from me. Like you said, they hate me here.” Inga waved off the question, forgetting her hands were tied and managed to slap her knuckles together. A huffed chuckled drew her attention and she grinned at the small turn of Connor’s lips. He held up his knife and without hesitation she bared her wrists to him, giving him the space to cut her free. Though Lewis spoke up in protest, Connor silenced him with a look. “So, Grey Stone are playing Silver Night and Red Dawn off each other, to get themselves the better alliance deal. We could work with that.” He mused.

She drew strength from the unity forged among her allies, their shared purpose serving as a beacon of hope amidst the chaos. The confrontation was swift and fierce. The clash between Sarah's group and their adversaries was an explosive symphony of skill and determination. Blades flashed, gunfire erupted, and the sound of fists meeting flesh reverberated through the night. It was a battle not just for survival, but for the redemption they sought to achieve.

He drew his sword, the gold-and-sapphire light blinding the onlookers. "I, SILAS BLACKWOOD, ALPHA-REGENT OF THE NORTH, PLEDGE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE SHADOW CLAWS! IF WE SURVIVE THIS NIGHT, THE BLACKWOOD PACK IS DISSOVED! IN ITS PLACE, A NEW EMPIRE WILL RISE—ONE WHERE THE SHADOW AND THE LIGHT ARE EQUAL! I GIVE YOU THE SOUTH MINES, THE SILVER PEAKS, AND EVERY ACRE OF LAND YOU HAVE RECLAIMED FROM THE DARK!"

The swords are bronze, beneath their silver skins. I’m barely two feet from the line, and I give away one of them stepping back from Black’s slash. The howling around us becomes a gasp as his blade is motionless in the moment before he starts the backswing, and I reach out, and grab it with my bare hand.

The master officiating the match called for it to begin. Immediately Nila sprung from a ready stance into Sparrow Through The Brush, she flitted back and forth stabbing with her thin rapier. Fur blocked each stab with Falcon On The Wind, a form normally used for fighting an opponent using a sword with a single edge. He struck back with Tiger Jumps Its Prey, a huge over hand blow that Nila side-stepped. That move would have sheared her and her thin blade completely in half. Nila was wide eyed now, she was completely out classed and she knew it. The fear left her eyes again, replaced by resolve and anger. Boro's fear only increased.

He would often travel with the Alpha. Then I met Nathan, the other Gamma. Nathan had dirty blond hair long and shaved on each side of his face. He went to school with Kaden and, along with Sam his driver and bodyguard, they were probably the ones who knew the most about him. His father was Gamma at Blakewoods, but not Henry’s brother. Apparently Blakewoods is so big, it was ruled by three Alphas backed by each a Beta and Gamma. Packs with multiple Alphas are rare and generally ruled by siblings, so though not unheard of, it was more an exception to the rule, than the other way around.

“Crystal clear, my dear. A straightforward transaction. I have no desire to be… scoured.” The details were hammered out with brutal efficiency. The united wolf forces—now dubbed the Thorn Alliance—would assault the main entrance to the Blackwood ancestral lands at midnight on the Convergence, creating a massive, noisy diversion. Selene and Dominic would lead the charge, their combined tactical minds our best hope for a convincing, sustained attack.

“Attack the left and right sides. I’ll handle the ones blocking us in front. After that, we run toward the forest over there. As fast as possible.” “Easy for you to say,” Damian mutters. “I’d rather leave you behind as bait. But the rules for this phase say we can’t lose a single team member,” Kael replies coldly. Fredrick is already prepared to follow Kael’s command. So is Ash, even though she’s forcing herself to stand. “NOW!” Kael roars. Kael’s body instantly shifts into a gigantic wolf and lunges at the prehistoric bird in front of us. The impact of the earth slams into the creature’s body, sending dirt and grass exploding into the air.

So I went to the armoury which was the second closest building to the prison yard, all the while avoiding my father because I wasn't supposed to be around in the first place. I wondered if Chris had reached Cleven pack by now. I remembered the last time we went on such an errand, that was about two years ago. We were supposed to pick up a package from the Alpha of the neighbouring pack, Grey Oak Pack. When we got there, we were not received properly and we were mistaken for spies; and in our country, we do not take spies lightly so we had an idea of what we would have been put through if we did not find a way to escape. It was later brought to their knowledge that we were from the Moonstone
