However what most of those pretenders weren't aware of was that The club had three levels, theirs which was the club proper was on the first floor.

POV: Charlotte The event had been on the calendar for six weeks. A Blackwood Foundation benefit, the kind of thing that existed on the social calendar of the city’s philanthropic world as a fixed point around which other things were scheduled, and canceling it would have sent a specific message that Damien had decided he was not going to send. So we were going, and we both knew why we were going, and neither of us discussed it in those terms because discussing it in those terms would have made the going into something it needed to not be.

Cyrus Blackwood The soft aroma of rotisserie chicken swirled in the air as the maid set out another dish on the table. The soft clink of utensils rang around the room as candles flickered. A vintage gramophone played jazz music only my parents would listen to. I was at The Blackwood Manor for the day as my parents held a celebratory dinner for my brother. I always dreaded these dinners, as nothing ever came good out of them. I was savoring the silence on the table before Sebastian opened his mouth to talk about how he had achieved that success at his workplace.

As she rounded the final bend near Fiddler’s Ford Bridge, the quiet murmur of the valley exploded into color and sound. ‎ ‎Pine Valley’s town square had been completely transformed. ‎ ‎Dozens of heavy timber booths lined the perimeter of the cobblestone common, their frames built from dark, rough-sawn cedar that smelled overwhelmingly of fresh resin and crushed pine needles. Bright orange pumpkins, thick bales of dry hay, and woven garlands of dark green fir branches were draped over every wooden archway. In the center of the square, near the stone fountain, a low wooden stage had been erected, where a couple of local men were already tuning a fiddle and an acoustic guitar.

“We need horses for that journey so we could make it faster. You'll have the chance to learn when the time comes. There, we sat under the shade and made plans for horses today because we would need them for this journey and also for the one coming up, too. “Where can we buy horses?” I asked, hoping that somehow Damien would refuse and decide not to buy it but his mind was made up and understood that. “There must be a clan here where we could buy horses to visit our next clan.” “You haven't actually told us the name of the park.” Laura said, reminding Damien. “The name of the park is Blackwood Park.” He said, stuttering.

PLANNING FOR HALLOWEEN DRAKE'S POV Years back before Kate became Mark's beta and came to stay with him in the black wood pack we used to have only one festival and that was the full moon festival. The Halloween party was not a part of our yearly celebration but Kate talked about it and convinced me to hold the celebration she reasoned that since the hunting was done by those that have wolves and have shifted and the after party was usually held later at night and the kids could not attend that it would be nice to hold an inclusive event and everyone could attend.

It started as usual, we ran through the forest for hours before returning to the pack house. The Blackwood full moon celebration was always anticipated. Long wooden tables filled the great hall, stacked with food. Lanterns lined the walls, casting the place in golden warmth. Children darted between their parents legs, their laughter carrying over the hum of voices. Elders sat near the front, their eyes watching everything. Astrid and Saffron slid in beside me at the table, Saffron already tearing into a piece of meat. “You know,” Astrid muttered, glaring toward Rourke across the hall, “if he looks at me one more time, I’m going to claw his eyes out.”

The night air shimmered with energy as the Blackwood Pack gathered in the forest clearing. The lanterns burned tall and bright, casting flickering golden lights onto the trees, and the scent of roasted meats and sweet pastries hung thick in the air. The second part of the Moon Festival had begun, and spirits were high. But not everyone was lost in celebration. Jack’s jaw was tight as he paced near the entrance of the grand Blackwood mansion. He glanced toward the ballroom and then at the two guards stationed at the entryway.
