Novel & Cerita Juniper And Thorn

Even for the scar faced shooter, that should be a little above his league. “Like they say, charity begins at home. I am sure that the Scorpione family is split in three by now, one third of them wouldn’t be easily swayed or misguided which means they will either drop their guns and leave, or fight the other half till death. I think Lorenzo will let them take the first option because he dislikes the killing of fellow Made-men . Now that leaves us with two thirds of the army to handle and that wouldn’t be difficult to subdue if we play our cards right.

Thorns quickly emerged from that circle. The growth of the thorns took some time, and I took a moment to glance at Vivian and Alen. I noticed they were exchanging glances, and their expressions revealed something was amiss. Why was Alen looking at Vivian with an "I told you so" expression, while Vivian looked anxious, as if she wanted to stop the thorns from growing? Unusual circumstances required immediate attention, and I couldn't think further. I continued chanting the spell, causing the thorns that had grown around their feet to coil tightly around their ankles, making it impossible for them to escape.

And I still felt unprepared. The carriage rumbled up the mountain pass like it was trying to shake me loose. I pulled the velvet curtain back and stared out at the jagged, frostbitten peaks of the Oathbound Range. The sun had already dipped behind the highest ridge, casting long shadows across the snow-dusted road. Castle Thorne loomed ahead—tall, skeletal, and utterly uninviting. Like something drawn from the nightmares of children who’d grown up on war stories and ghost songs. But I wasn’t a child.

My walls clamped down fiercely on the three shafts, squeezing rhythmically, pulling their releases close. ~There it is! Soak the bed, you filthy thing. Now make them fill you up~ Kasper whooped, glee pure dirt. Thorne came first, his rogue cock pulsing wild, hot spurts flooding deep alongside the knots. “Take it, mate. All my seed in that greedy ass.” His piercing pressed sharp as he unloaded, his cum mixing slick inside. Aurelius followed, his beta length jerking while his knot sealed his load permanently. “Ours forever, Jayden. Feel me breeding you.” Warmth spread thick, coating my walls, the bond snapping finally between us.

Across his lap sat a military-grade encryption laptop, its screen reflecting a glowing orbital tracking map. "Director Vance-Ross sends his regards," the man said softly. I squinted through the water dripping from my eyelashes. "You're not Vance-Ross's man. You're the Crucible Consortium." "Labels are so quaint," the man replied, picking up my father's signet ring with a pair of velvet-lined tweezers. He held it up to the cabin light, examining the micro-engravings along the inner band. "I am Julian Thorne. And until ten minutes ago, I was the man funding your little crusade against Blackbriar."

Carson wanted to see him more, but he afraid that Jeremiah’s parent found it strange for a fifteen-year-old boy to hang out with a four-year-old without any particular reason. Aiden gaped to hear the reply, “I can’t believe it…” he was about to cuss, but he did not want Jeremiah to hear his swearing. So, he went advance than the others and summoned his rune weapon, the frozen thorn. It was an icy spear that could summon ice spikes around the place where it landed. He believed, by using the power of his frozen thorn, he can kill plenty of rabbits in a single hit. He held the spear in his right hand while carrying the picnic basket with his left.

I might not be proud of how this baby was made, but I sure as hell was proud to be called its mother. "Hey." I heard Thorne speak, startling me momentarily as I jumped in fright. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Have you been waiting long?" "Not really, let's just get this over with." I retort in annoyance. I was still very upset about having to sneak around with him, I mean what if someone recognized us? Damn him for being so stubborn. Cooper and I had barely spoken after our last argument and I didn't want to give him more reasons for us to keep fighting.

Nicole looked at the information and frowned. "It's the Thorne family; Do you guys have any vendetta against each other?" Eber frowned as he looked at the black umbrella-shaped family emblem on the screen. "I can't believe that it's them." The Turmann and the Thorne families were once the closest partners. The Turmann family was powerful, but they still looked after the Thorne family, entrusting them with projects. Even now, the Thorne family still maintained close contact with the Turmann family. Yet they stole Turmann's most sophisticated design drawings and became the most treacherous traitor in the Turmann family's eyes.

“Whatever hunts her knows exactly who she is. And it will not stop until she is claimed.. or destroyed.” The forest seemed to breathe with those words. Thorne gestured to the path ahead. “Come. The night listens.” We walked on, the air colder now, heavier. My thoughts spiraled, questions gnawing like teeth. Lunaborn. Seal. Parents I never knew. None of it made sense, and yet… somewhere deep, something inside me stirred, like a locked door rattling on its hinges. As we neared the edge of the woods, a sharp sting cut across my palm. I hissed and looked down. A thorn had pricked me.. though no bush stood near. My blood slowly dripped down like a little tap.

When that first snowflake kissed their daughter's nose, her eyes went wide with the magic of it all. Holly's gaze drifted to a corner of the street. There was a figure she knew, looking all kinds of down on his luck. His hair had not surrendered to gray, but his frame was bent. As if he had been worn down by life. He caught Holly's eye and thought about bolting, but his bum leg nearly sent him tumbling. He instinctively covered his face with his hands. Holly was suddenly hit by the memory of the feud that had erupted between the Hoffman and Porter families years ago.
