Blackthorn Manor Novels & Stories

—- Meanwhile inside Blackthorn Manor. Adrian stood near the window. His phone suddenly buzzed. A message from Clara. I had fun tonight. Adrain looked at the message for a long time and smiled dangerously, because Clara thought she had won, and she had no idea she was walking into the lion’s den. Adrain smiled. “THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

I didn’t expect the private wing of Blackthorn Manor to feel like an entirely different world. The rest of the estate carried the weight of tradition—grand hallways lined with portraits of past Alpha Kings, the scent of polished wood, and the quiet presence of servants who avoided meeting your eyes. But here… here it was different. The corridors were wide and dimly lit, the walls covered in rich charcoal silk instead of the usual pale cream. The paintings were abstract, moody splashes of black and crimson, and the floors were covered in thick rugs that muffled every step.

“I don’t love him.” “Yet,” the woman replied, a smirk tugging at her lips. “But you will. And when you do, it’ll be the death of you.” Before Evelyn could speak, the woman vanished into the corridor’s shadows—no footsteps, no sound. As if she’d never been there. She was beginning to understand what people meant when they called Blackthorn Hall cursed. By the time Evelyn returned to her chambers, soaked to the skin from the walk through a leaking corridor, the storm outside had turned vicious. Thunder cracked like the heavens were splitting apart.

POV: Maya The Blackwood estate sat hidden in the mountains, three hours north of Blackstone. The road twisted through dense forest until suddenly the trees parted to reveal a gothic mansion that looked like it belonged in a Victorian horror novel. Gray stone walls covered in ivy. Tall windows with heavy curtains. Turrets that reached toward the cloudy sky like accusing fingers. The place radiated old money and older secrets. "This is where your mother grew up?" Jaxon asked from the driver's seat.

And as the shadows lengthened across the ruined velvet walls, a new confrontation began to rise from the embers. The steps came slowly at first. Controlled. Too calm for scavengers. Three men emerged from the blackened stairwell in tailored suits, untouched by the chaos around them. Their shoes gleamed. Their hands were empty. But their presence crackled with danger. The man in front had a face like a shark sleek, pale, his lips barely touching when he spoke. “Mr. Blackthorn,” he said. “Ms. Wrenleigh. I had hoped to catch you before the curtains fell entirely.”

“We’re just… mingling with billionaires.” Elaina managed a smile, though her nerves crackled beneath her skin. They barely made it past the main hall when a sudden hush fell over the crowd. A man entered. Tall. Broad. Dressed in a perfectly cut black suit that shimmered subtly like dark smoke. Lucien Blackthorn. He was carved from ice—his features cruelly handsome, his eyes obsidian. When those eyes scanned the room and landed on her, something in Elaina’s chest stuttered. Her breath hitched.

“Because men like them never go quietly. They don’t lose. They reload.” The next morning, Nova made a decision. They would go after Hayes. Not with files. Not with fire. But with proof. And for that, she needed to go somewhere she had avoided for years: The Blackthorne Estate. It stood like a fortress in the hills outside the city, all sharp corners and marble arrogance. Nova had been raised here. Taught to walk in heels, speak in code, and smile through betrayal. Now she walked up the driveway in combat boots and a black coat.

The night was thick with the scent of rain, though the storm had not yet broken. The moon hung heavy over the skyline, casting a silver glow on the towering estate perched on the edge of Blackthorn Ridge. Inside the grand hall of the Bloodmoon Manor, Alpha Kieran Blackwood stood with his back to the floor-to-ceiling windows, his gaze locked on the city below. He could feel it in his bones. A shift in the air. A disturbance in the careful balance he had built over the last five years.

"No thanks on the karaoke part. I think I'm okay with us giving Nadia a visit." Jin chuckled amusingly before speaking. "Your wish is my command, oh great Dual-wolf." I giggled again as he drove faster. It took a while, but we eventually got to the south side of the city. After asking for directions, it was quite easy to find Blackwood Manor. Jin pulled to a stop in front of the large metal gate which was painted black. Beyond the gates was a manor with moss-covered grey walls that stood as a testament to the passing of time. The place looked abandoned, but I knew better.

I explained. “If she wrote it at Silverside, then how’d Rock get it?” Jessica asked. “That’s what we’re trying to figure out,” I explained. “He always says he has eyes and ears everywhere. Apparently, that includes Silverside.” “You think he has connections in the manor though?” Jessica asked. “I wouldn’t rule that out.” (Jonathan) The sun was setting as Jonathan pulled up to Blackcrest. The town was surrounded by a tall black gate with barbed wires crossing the top. The roads were paved a dark cement and the grass on the sides of the road were browned and crisp to step upon.
