He didn’t deserve me anyway. As I neared the altar, I finally let myself look up. And forgot how to breathe. Nate Blackthorne stood waiting. Tall, easily six-four. Broad shoulders that stretched his black suit. Dark hair swept back from a face that could have been carved from stone. Sharp cheekbones and strong jaw. A mouth that looked like it rarely smiled. He looked like death personified. Beautiful and terrible. But it was his eyes that made my steps falter. Pale blue, like winter frost and was fixed entirely on me.

he said lightly. Lie. I knew it. But I didn’t push. “Didn’t expect to see you here,” he added, his gaze scanning me like he was trying to figure something out. I lifted my chin. “I could say the same.” His eyes sharpened. “Blackthorn isn’t exactly…” He paused. “…easy to get into.” There it was. The subtle dig. I smiled sweetly. “Good thing I didn’t come here the easy way.” Recognition flickered in his eyes. “Scholarship,” he said.

Destroyed rogue empires. Conquered territories that once seemed untouchable. When the Obsidian Dominion marched, the world listened. And at the heart of that kingdom stood Blackthorn Citadel. The fortress rose from the mountains like something crafted by gods rather than mortals. Towering obsidian walls stretched toward the heavens, black stone gleaming beneath the sunlight like polished glass. Massive silver banners bearing the wolf crest of House Blackthorn snapped violently in the mountain winds. Guards stood atop every wall and tower, armored in black steel, their silver cloaks flowing behind them like shadows given form.

She sent Ethan an article about the Higashiyama district in October, which Ethan forwarded to Valentina with one word: obvious. Valentina books Japan in March. Not the birthday — Rosa's birthday is the twentieth and Japan is in May, when the late spring light is doing what May light does in Kyoto, and the Higashiyama district is at the particular quality it has between the cherry blossoms and the summer heat. Two weeks. Valentina, Ethan, Clara, Rosa, Pep. Five people in a country that Pep knows and Valentina has been to, and Rosa has been circling for a year.

Because words may fail where steel will not.” He walked away without another word. On the sixth day a blizzard roared down from the glaciers. Snow fell so thick the world narrowed to white walls and howling wind. The keep battened down. Fires burned high. Stories were told in the great hall, old songs sung to keep fear at bay. Ashley sat beside Damien on the high bench, listening to an elder recite the tale of the first Blackthorn Alpha who tamed the ridge winds with nothing but a silver torc and a promise to the Moon. When the elder finished the pack r

I didn’t know that Gray had said something until I felt his hands on my shoulder. “Sky, are you alright?” he asked with a concerned look on his face. I snapped out of my thoughts instantly as I turned to face him. “I… yes… I am fine. You… you said something?” I asked with a stutter, trying to reorganize myself once again. Amidst the thoughts and the now slightly burning feeling inside of me, my fingers balled into a fist by my side as I tried to concentrate. Gray’s face was a little more serious now. “Bro, that was the Alpha. The next in line after this present Alpha. He is the only son of the Blackthorn lineage,” he said, already starting a historical lecture about Riven.

Crickets chirped, and an owl called from the canopy. Ryker rode beside Nyra. “Are you well?” he asked softly. Nyra pressed her gloved hand to the scroll at her belt. “My heart is steady, but my mind races.” Ryker reached out, brushing her shoulder. “We will face her together.” Selene rode behind them. “Remember, she is your sister. She may not be the monster you fear.” Nyra nodded, gaze fixed ahead. “I must prepare for both.” The forest thinned into rolling hills. In the distance, a pale glow marked the walls of Black Thorn citadel, jagged spires crowned with obsidian thorns. The riders paused at the riverford.

Krister asked, looking at his tablet still before walking to the back room. “Black? She doesn’t-- I mean didn’t wear anything else?” she asked, her eyebrows meeting in the middle confused. “Don’t tell me she’s one of those people…” “Yes, specifically black clothing. They’re hot in the day but you disappear in the night. That’s what she always said to me.” Krister disappeared in the back to get something whilst Rojean was left there to contemplate on her own how she was going to pull the act off if she was a bad liar herself.

His presence is a dark, living force, a bright, uncontained energy that fills the space with life and the thrill of authority. "Your little adventure is over, Princess," Blackthorn calls. His voice is a sharp, vivid force, a wild, uncontained energy that fills the space with life and the thrill of risk and the unknown. "Your father offers clemency to your... pets... if you return willingly."

She sighed and shifted anyway—only to feel his hand settle more firmly at her waist, steadying her with an unmistakable don’t test me pressure. “Careful,” he murmured. “If you fall, I’ll catch you.” “That’s supposed to reassure me?” “It should.” The path crested a ridge, and Blackthorn came into view. It wasn’t a city. It was a stronghold grown from the mountain itself—dark stone, ironwork shaped like thorns, banners rippling in the wind. The walls didn’t look decorative; they looked experienced.
