Streetlights cast golden pools of light along the way. At the end of the drive, massive iron gates stood open. Beyond them, Blackwood Manor rose like something from a dream. Or a nightmare. The main house was enormous. Three stories of classic architecture, all stone and tall windows. Wings extended from either side, creating a U-shape around a circular driveway with a fountain at its center. Lights blazed from dozens of windows, making the entire structure glow against the darkening sky. “This is…” I couldn’t find words. “Home,” Seraphina said simply. “For over two hundred years, this has been the seat of Nightfall Pack leadership.”

"But we're going to be there for a whole week maybe! That's lots of time to find him!" "Luna, we're there for Abuela's medical care, not to hunt down your father." "But if we happen to see him—" "The city has eight million people. The chances of randomly running into—" "Blackwood Medical Center," Andre says quietly. "That's where we're taking Rosa. Blackwood Medical Center." My blood runs cold. "What?" "The cardiac unit. Best in the country. Run by the Blackwood Foundation. Damien Blackwood's family legacy project." Of course. Of course it is.

Shutting off the voices, she continued down the drive towards the Blackwood residence. The grand estate stands majestically, its stone façade weathered to a warm, golden brown that whispers tales of centuries past. Ivy crawls up the walls, as if trying to claim the mansion as its own, while intricately carved wooden doors, adorned with gleaming brass hardware, swing open to reveal a world of opulence within.

“You’ve been under my watch for months, locked away from the world. So tell me, Isla, what’s got you pleading for a pack you’ve never even met?” Liam shifted uncomfortably, his hand still near his knife, “Alpha, maybe we should—” “Quiet,” I snapped, not breaking eye contact with Isla. The Blackwoods were a myth to most, a pack of mystics, descended from the old bloodlines that once united the packs. They lost their authority due to fear, but they are still not one to be meddled with. If Isla was one of them, if she was the lost heir whispered about in rumors, then she wasn’t just my secretary.

My breath hitched. "I saw something, " I whispered. Ethan's eyes sharpened. "What did you see?" he asked. "I don't know, " I said, pressing my fingers to my temple. ". I was working on something. Searching." Ethan confirmed it. "You were, " he said. "For what?" I asked. "For proof, " he said. A chill ran through me. "Proof of what?" I asked. "That Blackwood isn't an organization " he said quietly. "It's a system." My stomach twisted. "What does that mean?" I asked.

The Sopttyi District was a smudge of gray in the rearview mirror, and Timothy hadn't looked back once. Grief was a luxury he couldn't afford, not with the weight of two men like Kan and Gideon pressing into his life. Cus was in his element at the Blackwell estate—or "the fortress," as the old soldier called it. Within the first week, Timothy had caught the man actually whistling while he cleaned the armory. The Zions had claimed the thousand-acre perimeter, patrolling the treeline like they’d found holy ground. Timothy had never seen them so at peace.

There's no need to ask for directions to Norwood House; it's one of the great, historical houses in Black Lake, the kind to be sat on a hill and surrounded by a bare-branched, wiry forest. As I start my car and back it out of the parking spot, I recall passing by Harvey last week with as much detail as possible. He looked at me, but he won't remember me, I'm sure. I drive slowly along the thin Black Lake streets and turn into one of the older neighborhoods. The houses along Audrey Way are large, spaced-out farmhouses or mansions either built in the late 1700s to early 1800s or around the 1950s when Black Lake had a population boom. It's easy to tell which properties are Victorian ones with t

All the other buildings, on the other side of the street, looked to have about three floors within them, most likely to be office buildings, flats, boarding houses, and other mundane residencies. There were also two vastly churches that Emmet could see from the window, each one at the end of the street. The one to the right was made of large blocks of yellowish stones with a large wooden door that sat at the top of a platform with a set of stairs leading up to it. The other church looked significantly older with blackened smaller stone with a narrow reaching spire that climbed upwards and red-blue stained glass windows of the tower. The blackened church looked to be significantly older than
