Riley Thorn Book 5 Novels & Stories

I hate early morning alarms! Especially the 5 O'clock ones I set for myself so I can wake up on time for school. They always ring every time I'm just getting very snuggly under my bedcovers and enjoying the second round of tranquil sleep. It doesn't help that I always read a book when I'm supposed to be in bed. Yeah, I'm a nerd and I know it. I bet you are too, ha ha.

Roman Thorne is the invincible team leader of college hockey. He is large, aggressive and a nightmare to the media. The press, however, does not know what makes the Briarwood Ice Devils so feared. They are not just players. They are ruthless, blood-swilling offspring of the most formidable crime business in the city. Trying to keep a small scandal which is about to blow up their small business, the Thorne family appeals to the service of Sloane Mercer. She is 24 years old and a brilliant ruthless PR fixer. Her task is easy: to improve the image of the team, to work with press, and not to put Roman in the prison. But Sloane has not come to save them. She is here to ruin them. Sloa

“Then explain it to me.” “I can’t,” I whispered. “Because I don’t even know yet.” Suddenly, the trees behind us creaked. Another figure stepped out of the shadows. Riven. His eyes flicked from me to Thorne, then to the scorched earth. “Thought I’d find you here,” he said. “The entire fortress is talking.” “About what?” Thorne asked sharply. “About Rory screaming loud enough to shake the cliffs,” Riven said flatly. “About Celina not being seen since.”

The heavy iron gates of Blackthorn Academy slammed shut behind her with a sound that felt final. Riley Voss stood in the middle of the gravel driveway, duffel bag slung over one shoulder, jaw tight with pure defiance. Nineteen years old, pierced tongue, cropped black hair with silver streaks, and a reputation for breaking every rule her last three schools could throw at her. This time her wealthy stepmother had finally snapped and shipped her off to the most exclusive, most secretive all-girls finishing academy in the country.

She opened it to find a stylized ink drawing of the two of us standing in front of a massive tree, with a small, determined dog at our feet wearing a cape. “For your new home,” he said. Lilac beamed, folding it like it was sacred. Reese and Forrest’s flight to Boston was soon. They gathered their things, gave us one last round of hugs, and disappeared toward their gate. I watched until I couldn’t see them anymore. Clay slung his arm around my shoulders and grinned down at Lilac. “So. You’re the one who managed to out-stubborn her.” Lilac smirked. “Not that hard. Just took a forest, a scandal, and a snowstorm.”

Red eye weren't close at all. A week of being in a closed room, and I was getting frustrated. I was properly fed and by now, it was only scare that covered a major part of my body. It's being a week I've gone to school and anyone was yet to reach out to me. By anyone, I meant Shirley and her dad. Mr. Red eye also seemed to be avoiding me, which I wasn't pleased with. There was something in me that always wanted to see him at all times.

**MY BLOOD WIZARD SYSTEM** **Book 1: Storm Academy Arc** **Interlude – New Blood, Old Flames** **Riley Kane & Thorne POV – August 2032 – Storm Academy Gates** The portal from Baton Rouge spits them out onto a cobblestone path lined with cherry trees that shouldn’t be blooming in August. Riley Kane steps through first—athletic build, copper-tinted skin with faint scale patterns catching light when she moves, dark hair tied back in a practical ponytail, golden dragon eyes scanning everything with quiet intensity. Duffel slung easy over one shoulder, the subtle heat of dragon-blood radiating like a low furnace. Thorne follows—tall and lean, pale skin with a faint crimson undertone, dark hair fa

Chapter 17 – Breach The fire still smoldered when they drove away from the cold storage facility, city lights blinking in the distance like a civilization oblivious to the war waging in its shadows. Riley sat in the back seat, knees drawn to her chest, her reflection flickering in the car window. She couldn’t shake Lorne’s voice from her head. "It’s not because of what you’ll reveal, Riley. It’s because of what you’ll awaken." “What the hell does that even mean?” she muttered under her breath.
