The Black Rose Novels & Stories

The only thing she actually admired about the display was the object hanging securely on the wall, proudly standing out amongst the pictures aligning the walls with fond memories, the simple center piece of the room that drew it all together. It was the beautiful rose painting that Chris had found stored away in the closet beside the stairs. Lifting up her hand, the brunette gently brushed away the dust that had collected on its oak frame, the specks of gray fluttering past her vision. Alina still didn't have a clue where it had come from, but she had to admit, upon closer inspection, that it definitely had a certain appeal to it. Floating in the middle of a black lake with realistic ripples

“Rose-“ But before I could even finish my word, I felt a hand wrap around my waist and then I was being lifted up and off of the floor and the world went black. **** “You can open your eyes now.” The first thing I noticed as Damien lowered me to the ground was the intense smell of black roses. Since they were different from normal roses, they had a distinct smell which was richer and stronger than any other rose in the world. It was also the only rose that stayed in bloom for an entirety of two months. As I had expected, when I opened my eyes, I was no longer standing in the Shelter, in the middle of the ocean, but in the inner gardens of Damien’s castle, the place where we first met.

But this time… I stood at the very center of the camp, looking at the grey skies above the trees shielding the pack walls. And I remembered Scarlett’s voice. “What if they’re like my pack?” I clenched my jaw. Then I turned to one of my commanders. “Send a messenger.” He blinked. “A messenger? My Lord?” “Tell the Blackmoon Alpha that he has until dusk today to surrender his pack’s allegiance to my rule and to pay his tithe to the kingdom and to release that rogue into my custody.”

The stranger placed a single object flat onto the pristine wooden counter. Then, before Amora could even step forward, the figure spun around and glided out the front door, vanishing into the crowded street like a wisp of smoke. Amora’s heart hammered against her ribs. She walked slowly toward the edge of the counter, her breath hitching in her throat as she looked down at what had been left behind. Resting on the clean pine wood was a single, flawless rose. But the petals weren't red, pink, or white. They were a deep, velvet, midnight black. The stem was thick, covered in sharp, jagged thorns, and a single drop of dark, ink-like liquid clung to the leaf like a drop of poison.

In your dream, the blackness could represent you trying to swim through your subconscious, or it could be a representation of death to an old life. Does it mean moving on from Eric? And then I googled again; What black roses in dreams symbolize? Ofcourse G****e has the answer for everything, it never fails me. And so the result said; The black rose can be used as a symbol of death and mourning. This concept came from the tarot cards— the death card. There is a white rose on the death card, which represents new beginnings after death to see the positivity of a tragic situation and hope for a new life.

"From this moment forward, if any of you wishes to touch me... you will have to go through the other two first. I am no longer the prize. I am the game." She paused, her thumb tracing the inner band of the platinum ring on her finger. "And remember this... in ninety days, I will return to New York. By then, the world will know who is the master and who is the dog. I suggest you all spend that time wisely." The frequency cut to black. The Black Rose fleet turned in unison, their hulls angling downward as they dived into the thermal layers where no radar could follow. They vanished into the blind spots of the world.

"They're custom-made. Usually, a white or red rose is soaked in black dye to get a dark tint as close to black as possible. That's what gives them their glossy, velvet-like appearance." Austin nodded, still unsure where Willem was going with this. But he soon cleared it all up for him. "They had a week to call it off. A week to decide to spare my daughter's life. But they went ahead with their plan as soon as Jaco received his black rose. He ordered a single fucking black rose. Clearly, you were not part of their plan. Only my daughter was." 'What are you saying, Willem?" Austin asked, his heart sinking to his feet.

BLACK ROSES AND POISONED TRUTH NOELLE'S POV The knock on my door came later that evening. I was already in my pajamas, my hair messy, coffee barely touched, when I opened it to find a delivery man holding the most beautiful and unusual bouquet I had ever seen. Two dozen black roses. Deep, velvety black petals that looked almost dangerous in their perfection. They were wrapped in sleek matte black paper with a single silver ribbon. The delivery man handed me the bouquet along with a small cream envelope.

or maybe not. Then I noticed something on the bench beside me. A single black rose. I've never seen a black rose before. It's beautiful,rare and unique. I wonder who gave it to me. I looked around, but there was no one in sight. Not a single soul. Just the rose... and the strange chill that came with it. I blinked. It hadn't been there before. Had it? It was delicate and dark, almost unreal. Like something out of a dream or a warning.

She’s sitting at her desk with her laptop open, looking worried and tired like she didn’t sleep well either. “I’ve been thinking about that letter all night,” I tell her as I get out of bed. “Me too,” Cassie replies without looking away from her computer screen. “Actually, I stayed up late doing some research about black roses.” “What did you find out?” I ask, though I’m not sure I really want to know. Cassie turns to face me with a serious expression. “Black roses have a really dark symbolic meaning. They usually represent death, endings, or revenge. Sometimes they’re used to threaten someone or to say that something bad is going to happen to them.”
