Blossom X Brick Novels & Stories

Perhaps the garden would answer the question the chapel had not. By mid-afternoon, the clouds had lifted enough to give the lawns a washed light. Bliss walked the gravel path that circled the fountain and stretched into the rose gardens. The air carried the scent of damp soil and faint sweetness. Bees moved lazily between blossoms. The roses had been pruned with care; their lines showed the work of steady hands. She stopped at the bush with petals the same brown shade as the one she had found. The edges of its blooms had dried early, curling inward as if the plant had chosen to keep its secrets.

As expected, her phone becomes the night’s giant sensation. When inquiring messages flood into her inbox, Blossom replies with massive swagger: [They are all my boys!] When other wolves ask where her hands got them, her keyboard cheekily answers: [Found ‘em in the wild.] [And where exactly did your boots find them?] [Not telling my secret woods.] [At least give my den one pup.] [No way!] [Then my claws might just have to kidnap one! Quick, tell my ears, what color hemp sack do they like best?]

She bumped into Krister on the way. “We need to talk.”

At least right now. “‘Kind of’ sounds exciting,” Blossom says, her eyes wide. “She knew you would come for her, so clearly you guys became really good friends. But not best friends, because she is my best friend.” “Care to explain?” The other rogue asks, like he has some sort of authority here, and I narrow my eyes at him. “Who the hell are you again?” I ask, and he sighs heavily. “Ames.” “Ah…And why do you feel entitled to anything from me?” I grunt.

He pointed toward the stone wall ahead and said, “I don’t know much about them. I only recognized that this formation is a puzzle related to a Sacred Blossom. James turned to Xainte and continued to speak, “To break the formation, we’ll have to rearrange the puzzle into a Sacred Blossom. Only powerhouses that truly understand various cultivation paths can complete the puzzle.” Xainte looked at James and asked, “Are you sure?” James nodded and said, “Mhm. I’m sure the patterns will form a complete picture of a Sacred Blossom.” Hearing this, Xainte began observing the patterns before her.

Riverbourne, Calvia. Bruce hit the rose garden at dawn—only to find a field of ash. The gardener was sweeping up nearby and looked up. "Mr. Jerkinson? You're up early." Bruce stormed over. "What the hell happened? Where are the roses?" He yanked the guy by the collar. "I was gone a few months. You torch them or something? Do you even know what those meant to Suri? What I put into them?" "Easy, sir! It wasn't us—your wife told us to clear them out. She lit the fire herself."

Vernon had returned, looking exhausted. He was even holding a bouquet of fresh flowers. He walked toward me with no trace of guilt or remorse. "Avril, I brought you your favorite roses." Red roses represented sincere and passionate love. Right now, those flowers looked like a joke in Vernon's hands. I accepted the roses. Thinking that I was no longer angry, Vernon began to explain.
