The Thorn That Pierces Me

Some words are meant to be whispered. Others should never be written at all. I knew better, but I still wrote it. A note laced with unfiltered desire—blunt, raw, and undeniably reckless. A note meant for Miss Rose. She wasn’t just another woman. She was temptation wrapped in elegance, the kind of woman who makes a man forget his own rules. But I didn’t write her poetry or confessions of love. No, what I left behind was something far bolder—something that should have never left my mind, let alone reached her hands. Now, she knows. And instead of pushing me away, she’s playing the game I started. A game of unspoken tension, stolen glances, and a promise that neither of us dares to say out loud. One note was all it took. Now, she’s waiting for my next move.

“Who are you? A dormant were wolf or a human?” His voice broke as he spoke. His eyes were silently pleading, anxiously waiting for the answer. Deep down, he knew it already. Yet, his stubborn heart refused to concede. The silence that followed was enough to escalate the hurt he felt in his heart from a dull throb, to burning glaring pain. The bullet wound he received a year ago hurt less than what he felt at that moment. “Here you go. It’s time to end this forever. Let’s make it fun while it lasts.” He handed her a shiny golden revolver. One look and she knew, neither could survive a shot between the eyes. There was only one bullet in the gun. Her hands shook as she tried to let go, as though it burnt at her skin. Kai didn’t let her. He won’t have any of it. This was his surrender. His eyes spoke words that his lips couldn’t. They were raw with emotions both familiar and foreign to her. Her own silver eyes filled with tears as she tried not to cry. “I choose to die by your hands. You are the only one with the right to take my life. Let’s begin!” He didn’t wait for her to process his words before helping her place the gun between his eyes, which never wavered from hers. Click! Click! Click! “Noooooooo!” She screamed as she dropped the gun. ************************************************************* DISCLAIMER!! Note that the chapters are not edited as of yet.

***REWRITING*** --- In the Bible, the Raven was deemed unclean, associated with death and the darkness of the unknown. In Islam, it was one of the five animals permitted for sacrifice, and its reputation as a harbinger of doom overshadowed its sharper qualities. Yet, beneath these negative connotations lay a creature of extraordinary intelligence and cunning, a master of problem-solving. There was always a divide between the Raven and mankind. It was a creature that carried divine light, an ancient symbol of life force, and played a pivotal role in the creation myths of the universe. Despite its negative reputation, the Raven was far more complex than it appeared. It was the keeper of secrets. The Raven was a cheater, but this trait was not to be vilified. In truth, those who deceived were often the ones who survived—witty, charming, and endlessly creative. The Raven saw and knew everything. It was the symbol of the sun, a being of contradictions: gracious but dangerous, beautiful but destructive. --- This is not a fairy tale. This is the life inside an author's book. But what if the author herself fell into a world she had never created?

As the most successful smuggler in the Outer Rings, she's stayed alive by keeping Dominion forces—and their arrogant officers—far from her cargo hold and even further from her bed. Until Commander Julian Blake storms her ship during a routine "inspection," and her well-honed instincts scream that he's the most delicious danger she's ever encountered.

The raw electricity between them threatens to short-circuit his sense of duty. When a rival syndicate targets them both, Kira and Blake are forced to forge an uneasy alliance. By day, they dodge assassins and navigate treacherous space lanes. By night, their verbal sparring explodes into a passion that leaves them both scorched. As the heat between them reaches unbearable levels, they'll have to decide what burns hotter—their need to maintain control, or their desperate hunger for each other. Sometimes the finest line in the galaxy is the one between surrendering to your enemy... and surrendering to desire.

Kira grew up knowing that kindness could get you killed. Raised in the slums of a broken world, she survived by learning how to stitch wounds with shaky hands and barter medicine for scraps. But when the mutation wave swept through humanity, gifting some with godlike powers, Kira awakened the rarest ability of all—healing. Now, she’s the most valuable prize in a world ruled by violence and desperation. The government wants to lock her away, warlords want to claim her, and the desperate will do anything to possess her touch. But Kira isn’t some fragile flower to be plucked—she’s all thorns. On the run and fighting to stay free, Kira finds herself tangled with four dangerous men: • Cain, the stone-faced protector who kills without hesitation. • Ash, the wild rogue whose grin hides teeth sharper than any beast. • Lucian, the arrogant heir who believes everything—including Kira—has a price. • Alaric, the quiet outcast who sees the pain she hides beneath her fire. They all want something from her—protection, power, or maybe something more. But in this brutal world, desire can be as dangerous as a knife to the throat. And the only person Kira truly trusts… is herself. Because while her touch may heal, her heart is wrapped in thorns—and anyone who tries to claim her might just bleed for it.
