Blackthorn 소설 & 이야기

she yelled after me. I walked into the kitchen to see Blake standing in front of the sink, his hands soapy up to his forearms as he dipped them back into the sink. He had on a tight white tee that showed off his rippling back muscles as he moved around the kitchen. My tongue darted out to wet my lips and I gulped at the sight.

Branches twisted inward, thorns catching light and shadow alike. The air tasted metallic, sharp with anticipation.

Inherited Alpha at twenty-four when his father died under circumstances that were officially classified as a territory dispute and unofficially classified as something considerably less clean.

The files screamed as she cranked the handle. Rust and old grease protested the intrusion, the screech echoing like a dying animal in the Sub-Level 3 tomb. Lina ignored the noise. She pulled drawer 404. Inside, the missing piece of the manifest sat in a clean plastic sleeve—Thorne’s last middle finger to the city. She laid the two halves together on the cold steel.
